How is your microphone recording level in videos and the sound recorder app?
Average. Not as good as the iPhone 4 but better/as good as the Galaxy S.
Average at best. Voice search absolutely sucks!
Mines crap as well, used it yesterday and had it fairly close to the person speaking but not too close for the sound to be muffled. I think I will try one of the voice recorders from the market as the one supplied records in weird format, 3GP or something.
Is this a general issue with Honeycomb or a specific issue with the Transformer?

I know this may be a repeat, and if so i apologize. I tried searching the forums but there was nothing in relation to this issue specifically....
I went to a concert on New years with a buddy of mine (who has an iphone 4), and we both recorded videos. The video quality on the NS seemed to be better than the 'iPhone 4", however the nexus audio quality in the video recording was just horrendous. the iphone 4 played the exact same video with lower video quality, but crystal clear audio.
on the NS you could hear nothing but BASS levels. Can anybody explain to me:
1. Why this happens on the NS and not on the iphone4?
2. Can this be solved with using an external headset?
3. Will this be fixed in any patches (720p recording, etc) or is it a hardware issue?
I'll upload the two videos for you to compare.
Edit: I'll have to get the actual video file from the iphone, but this should give you enough of an example.

may have something to do with the software based noise cancellation
Wait, is the Nexus S not hardware based noise cancellation? Correct me if im wrong, but the nexus 1 had a second microphone just for this?
Unless this is patched, this might be a dealbreaker for me as I use my camera recording, and audio recording frequently.

yup NS only has one microphone, i believe it is because there are some new noise cancellation stuff in 2.3...that doesnt really work
unless we are dealing with the some audio auto gain, like the same problem found in the SGS phones
Thanks for the response guys, this might just be reason enough for me to go back to the N1 until the NS has better updates.
Has anyone found a way to fix the damn audio when recording? i recorded a video next to a friend with an iphone and her audio sounds way better. The bass makes it sound terrible its muffled and distorted and hers sounds great. We both recorded a rock band from the same spot.
i would also like to know me and my friend were at a concert and he has a iphone, i was like YUHHH 1080p but with terrible audio, his audio sounded good.
Sorry to say that I believe that's the one area that the iPhone is suppior to the s3. The sound recording is something within the hardware of the phone and not something that is fixable...at least I haven't found a way yet. If anybody has a fix I would love it!

Hey guys, yet another try to record video in a live show... And again.. The audio of it comes so ****ty and distorted.
So i don't expect any solution from oneplus anymore. I even tried to take the microphone gain a little which didn't really helped so i guess it's just the mic isn't so good.
Any ideas how to get good audio in loud environments? I just don't think it's legit that an iPhone 4 can peform good in these kind of environments when the OPO (which is a better device a hundred times) cannot do such simple thing.
There are more than one available video recording apps on the play store that allow you to lvl the audio input whether it comes from the OPO mic or an external hooked up. I use a Zoom H1 with my OPO which has far superior performance for recording audio in loud environments. Plus I can hook in external LAV mics for interviewing

Apparently the Galaxy S8/8+ will feature a "High AOP Mic that minimizes distortion in noisy environments." (AOP=Acoustic Overload Point). Has anyone seen any videos testing recording in extremely loud environments such as a concert? I've owned the Galaxy S3 and S5 (both were terrible in noisy situations) before switching to the Moto X Pure(which is still pretty bad). Thinking about switching back for the S8 but seems recording in loud areas has not improved much from the S5 to the S7. Curious to know if Sammy has finally squashed the problem since iPhone have always been able to record in loud places and other newer phones like the LG V20 uses 3 AOP mics.
There is a video test on here that happens to be done at a concert.

That's all I have seen so far.

Thanks for the link. Wish person taking the video was closer so I could get a better idea or if they would have taken a video with the S7 to compare it to but oh well. Not being to record at a concert isn't a deal breaker for me it just sucks when other people can record with an iPhone and it sounds perfect and when I've done it on all my other phones it sounds like crap.
now that the phone has been out does anyone have any videos from concerts this past weekend? Hows the video recorder

let me know if you find something else, this capability is important for me and once it's resolved on S8 i will defiantly buy one.
I have a Pixel 1 and absolutely love the audio recording characteristics while video recording. I play drums, and this is the first phone that I can just aim at the drums and play loud or soft, and the playback is excellent. Not distorted, and also very little annoying sluggish or excessive changes in recording volume. Even the deep punchy b ass drum is felt as much as it is heard, and the high end of the cymbals is good. It has made great recordings of live music whether front row or far away. The phone needs to be replaced. Does anyone know of another affordable phone with similar audio recording characteristics? Thank you.
No need to reply at this point. I gambled, and picked up a Samsung Galaxy A51. The audio section seems better than that of the Pixel, and the phone overall is superior to the Pixel, too. $6.24/ month seems pretty good too. Glad I piscked it up.
