Today I tested move making by my new phone.
I observe that sound from movies are bad, distorted. (movie file checked at PC)
Is this a typical for this device? Is this a software/hardware problem?
Do you mean video recording? If so, yes, stereo sound recording (mono works fine) is clipped and distorted in Sense 3.0 - the mic gain is set on too high. It's fixed in Sense 3.5 if you want to try a ROM with that.

You would need to most likely downgrade to gingerbread firmware and install one of the older Sense 3.5 beta Roms. I used to use Bulletproof and stereo recording was great on that rom.
You might want to stay on ICS/Sense 3.6 and give lgcamera a shot from the market. I use it to get higher bitrate in video and aac audio.

So, why exactly does this phone have crappy sound after rooting and installing a ROM?
What file causes it, and is there a way to fix it?
I'd install a stock ROM that's been rooted as long as wifi tether and HSUPA were enabled, but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen.
Right now I'm using attn1's with the audio fix and it's not bad, but not as good as stock.
I suspect a different sound driver or maybe even a filter may be present in inspire stock rom. I'm sure it will be found.

I hope it's found soon, cause there are a lot of great roms there, but with awful audio.
I agree, I'm getting used to the tinny sound though and it doesn't seem to be as bad for me on bluetooth in the car. I'll take gingerbread with tinny sound over no gingerbread at all any day.

Hi guys,
Is call recording possible on HTC Sensation?
Could you test please:
- Totall Recall
- CallRecorder (DSoft)
and tell me about quality of recording from both sides?
Cheers

I'm also curious on this as call recording is essential to me and I own Total Recall on Symbian (Nokia E72) and would not move to an Android device that does not fully support it (or anything with similar features, but I know of no alternatives at the time).
Asking the developer would be a good idea, but then again, maybe some of you need to... erhm.... recall some calls...

I got callrecorder on dhd and works perfectly. But my dhd is rooted. Don't know if something change in functionality.
Call recorder widget works, but the recordings are pretty quiet.

Callrecorder requires root to fully function properly. This is one of several reasons I'm waiting for the Sensation to be totally opened up.
I have it on my rooted Samsung vibrant and it records perfectly. Mine isn't an app, it is located in the call screen while I am calling.

As I said, to function "properly" it needs root. It obviously functions without root, but not as fully intended.
Results...
Tried Already Total Recall & Call Recorder (DSoft)... (Perma-Temp Rooted HTC Sensation 4G)
Results:
Total Recall -> bit buggy and noisy when recording... (records via mic)
CallRecorder (DSoft) -> clear recording but via mic also... (so... not so loud the "other side" of the conversation)
Nothing even close to CallRecorder (skvalex) on my HTC Inspire 4G...
Nothing new here? any real recording solution?
up ..
this is an essential thing for me ..
anyone found a good recording app for the sensation ??
+ 1
I have tried so many call recording apps but to no avail
All of them are either "speakerphone enabled" or just not recording at all.
I hope after we root our phones we could use a real incall recording.
any news on call recorder now that we have s-off?
I found that when using the hand-free option (or even just the speaker for playing MP3), the sound is crappy. Not sure if related. Are you all happy with the big speaker of the Sensation ?

Nowhere near as loud as old samsungs or nokias i previously owned.
Anyone managed to port the 2-way call recording patch used on Desire HD? It worked flawlessly on DHD, it would be great to have it on Sensation.
No hope at all?
which apps should do it ? please give me 2 or 3 names, and I will test them this after noon. I have upgraded to latest everything ... maybe they will work now with all updates I have. The ones that used to bug or give crapy sound

There's only one posted by avs333, but it's for Desire HD (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048182&highlight=call+recording)
All other call recording apps failed to work or the recording quality was very poor.
It worked perfectly on DHD and i was hoping to see a patch for Sensation.

Please, tell me which ones. I will test them occasionally, and check for updates.
From market you can try Total Recall by Killer Mobile or AutoCallRecorder by Roman G. but these apps use the mic to record incoming voice, hence the quality is poor.
The only app that works properly is CallRecorder by Skvalex, but it requires a kernel patch (see app description on market), which brings me to my original question:
On Sensation, is it possible to patch the kernel to include the modifications required by this app?
Is there anyway to get the SRS and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound Profiles on an XE based ROM?
Beats audio is good, but i'd prefer to have the option between them all, & i think the dolby audio while watching videos sounds better.
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.6.4 on a regular sensation
Same here also, im trying to find a thread that will enable the dolby/srs mobile on ARHD 3.6.2 rom.. Still cant find it..
This is availble for sense 3.5 based roms. I know that. But can't find it for 3.0.

How's your video recording on your phone friend, I tried mine today the video quality is ok but the audio is bad, I mean there's too much base on the audio that you could barely understand the people talking on the recorded video. I took the video inside my room no noise whatsoever.

Sounds like you have stereo record on as you are recording. Do you have mikes camera mod installed?
I particularly like mikes camera mod, it allows you to manipulate the bitrate for videos. If you don't have it you should get it
But try switching stereo record off in your settings and see if that works for you. If thy doesn't work try clearing data from the camcorder ap then reboot, test it out and let me know

Afternoon All!
I love the Amaze Cam port done by CdTDroiD & Baadnewz but really don't like Sense 3.5 and after a bit of looking kept coming across threads on the web saying that the camera required this version of sense to function but I wanted if for Sense 3.0 which is what I use.
As the original Amaze version was Android 2.3.4 I thought what the hell and thought i'd have a go at getting it working on our Sense 3.0 builds.
Camera and Camcorder are working fine on Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.7 XE with Stock XE kernel and should work on all Sense 3.0 builds but mirror doesnt seem to work at the moment but im trying to fix that along with the missing scenes below.
NOTE - Not all Scene features are working at the moment only the following:-
Clearshot
Night
Action
Macro
Portrait
HTCCamera.apk is attached to this post if others want to try this so either push to /system/app or use Root Explorer to copy to /system/app but then set permissions to Owner = Read & Write, Group = Read & Others = Read and finally reboot.
**EDIT** Added flashable zip for anyone not happy pushing or using Root Explorer which also includes Amaze album and libs.

Works like a charm, and no more clipping with video recording! Thats was almost the reason I switched to 3.5.
Big thanks man
Awesome! Worked like a charm
Cool glad its working for more than me.

Yep, didn't read the OP properly!
If this was built into a ROM would permissions need to be set or not?

No permissions are set automatically when built.
Tried adding the libs and other such bits but doesnt make burst mode work.
Tested the rest of the Scenes and the following work:-
Clearshot
Night
Action
Macro
Portrait
Anything not mentioned doesnt work or freezes the app and have to kill via Task Manager.
If anyone is interested here is the zip I just flashed with the libs and bits added to this post.

Burst Mode won't work as it depends on the zero Shutter Lag feature which I think is unlikely to be backported to 2.3.4 due to the imminent release of ICS. Most people on Sensations will probably end up going forward instead of staying on 2.3.4/Sense 3.0 base, imho.

Fair comment about Sense 3.0. Found all Sense 3.5 Roms have real issues with smoothness with every one I tried hence wanting Amaze on 3.0.

When ever i use a custom rom the sound quality isnt like the stock rom? I always have dts enabled when playing music and it sounds great, but i dont have the option when using hellfire or cyanogen. So i guess im asking if there is a way to improve my sound?
I know huh! Barely got this phone yesterday o. Stock and it sounds better. Any help??
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
you could try downloading and flashing beats audio. make sure you back up because thats the only way to revert
I never use the Stock music player. Use Power Amp from the market place. You can increase the base and treble for amazing sound quality. It's a 1 or 2 week trial after that you'll have to buy it. I Highly recommend getting Power Amp.

I tried it and it might have only affected the headphone sound, but I can barely hear a difference.
p.s I am currently running Hellfire ice cream sandwich.
