Sound recorder - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I downloaded some recorder apps from play store, and with each of them when I go home and listen to the recordings they seem just crap.. The sound is "jumping" for microportions of seconds, and it is almost always not loud enough... is anyone having the same issue? can you give me ad advice?

[Q] Testing Microphone - Any Apps to Try

I am trying to test the microphone on the GTab. I sideloaded fring and tried to make a test call. The microphone was all crackly. Not useable. Is there another app to try to test the mic? What I want to know is if it is the device or fring. I tried to get Yahoo Messenger with the Video app but I haven't been able to find the apk anywhere that is the current version.
how about the sound recorder that's included in the GAPPs file?

I was also going to suggest as the quickest check... or Rehersal Assistant from the Market if you want to really test sound quality better saving a raw uncompressed audio file for playback on tab or elsewhere...
Microphone Sucks
I purchased this in part to perhaps do video conferencing. I tried the sound recorder with the unit at arms length distance and tried to record my voice. It was so faint through the speakers with my normal speaking voice I could hardly tell that I had recorded anything. This is not a good sign. Even talking way loud (shooting), it was barely audible through the speakers with the volume at 100 percent. Now that may not be how someone would perceive it in a video chat application but I don't have high hopes.
Anyone else record anything through the microphone? Is there any other approach that would work (Bluetooth Headset)?
i have Talking Tom open at my desk while im at work because it entertains me when i yell at my employees
i notice no issues with volume or quality

[Q] Ringtone's not playing right

I don't guess anyone has had this problem but me. I'm running Eaglesblood 2.3.7. I've checked the settings for sound and the preferences in google voice and the cyanogenmod settings and can't figure this out.
When my phone rings it never rings with my selected ringtone. It rings with a ringtone I used to use months ago. And when I miss a call, the phone plays an mp3 of a song I have that I have probably only listened to once. And it plays that song to completion unless I mute the volume, and steals the audio focus so if I'm playing some other video when it happens, I can't hear the audio until the song finishes playing.
I tried clearing data on the dialer app, which causes the app to flash and then play the missed call song. I delete the two offending songs and the phone seems to be trying to play them because now I have no ringtone at all. All I can do is use talking caller id from the app market.
Anyone ever heard of this?

Playing music problem.

I'm experiencing a strange problem. When I try to use the HTC Music player or Google Play Music, the song appears to be playing, but no music comes out of the speakers. When I plug in headphones I hear the song. When I take the headphones out, the speakers play the music. When the song changes, back to no music from the speakers and I need to plug in headphones to fix it. I don't think it's a hardware issue because Netflix, YouTube, and other apps don't have this problem. Just the HTC Music app and Google Play Music so far.
Any ideas what's going on?

Media volume turned down? Don't know if it's got different settings for front speakers vs. headphones, but worth looking into.

Nope that's not it unfortunately.
This is a very bizarre issue. Other apps don't have this problem. I just downloaded a generic music player on the Play Store and this app has no problems either. It's just Google Play Music and the HTC Music app.
Clear data on both of them. Uninstall and reinstall GMusic.

I having this exact problem! But my problem seems to extend to 3rd party applications, like Shuttle+!

Maps and Music on L

When I'm driving streaming music over Bluetooth and using Maps navigation when the voice prompts come up the music lowers but no voice is played. If no music is playing the voice prompts are loud and clear. Is this happening to anyone else? I noticed it on the final dev preview too.
Working fine for me.
Guess I've got some debugging to do.

Question Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended

How to Stop Play music automatically when blue tooth is on or phone calls ended in pixel 7 pro?
Hello!
Can you please be more precise?
Which app plays the music?
And you really want to end the music after a call (so during the call the music will be played)?
Usually it is the other way round ;-)

I know what he means. I have that, where I'll be listening to music, I get a call, pause the music to take the call and when it ends, the music or whatever I'm listening to starts playing again right away.
If I'm streaming to my car, which I don't set take to calls in my BT settings when I DO get a call, hit pause and put one of my buds in to answer it, when the call is over, whatever I was streaming just starts right up in my earbuds instead of waiting for me to unpause on my car-radio again.
OK, but these are setups in the app plays the music and not a general system setting.
I dont do anything like playing music or so.. When i switch on my car, when iy switch to bluetooth mode, music plays automatically.
In app, i have stopped auto start music. Still music is played via bluetooth without me starting a music

ok, understood.
But which app plays the music?
Jet audio, pi music these are the two music player i have.
I think there should be some setting available to play music with Bluetooth connection on to a device. I don't know more on this
Yeah I don't get the issue, stop the app that automatically starts the music when connecting to car Bluetooth. Go through the settings and disable auto-start. Only iPhones and iPads do that crap.
Also check Android Auto and your bluetooth settings in the car, they usually have auto-play settings
If that not help what schmeggy929 proposes: disable the permissions of these apps
especially Nearby Bluetooth devices:
