So I have this issue on my Nexus 5 where when I record something, it makes this HORRIBLE background noise, extremely bad, and I was just wondering if any of you guys have this as well? Because I just got my first RMA on Wednesday, and I don't want to have to get another one, was wondering if you guys know what it's about, and how to fix it and if not so that I can get another RMA.

Did you read all the other mic issue / noise cancellation posts?

I did actually, most of them just gave descriptions of a small hissing sound in the background, and the only page that i've found a post similar to mine, is a article, in which people can only comment, and they describe their issue to be a bit more like hissing and not this almost rain pouring down kind of noise.
I wouldn't make another thread for something I know is already out there.
Can you make an example recording?
Edit.. sorry maybe that's what your link is

It's there on the google drive link.
By the way I'm on Purity ROM with r35 from franco, on ART and with Viper4android, that's about it, issue began today, in my house while I was recording a video of my dog.
That's about all there is to it. I haven't done anything else to my Nexus 5 other than that
EDIT: now I'm almost sure it's not a software issue, i tried other cameras such as Snap Camera and the Instagram camera and snapchat camera, and they all have the same noise. Unless the noise cancellation is the issue, and all these apps use the Nexus 5 noise cancellation feature.

That's really loud but is it always like that? Perhaps its a result of your environment. What if you cover over the noise canc mic?
Its not so much hissing that's the issue. The sound is cancelled when it shouldn't be

Thanks, I just tried that, and it's not the environment, the room during the recordings is dead quiet. I tried covering both mics. but the issue is still there. and no, it wasn't always this loud, from what I remember, it was working fine at the beginning of the video with my dog, and then suddenly that weird noise began
Not sure if you're rooted or not but to rule out software, do a full wipe. Still a problem? RMA. There's definitely a bigger issue there than the standard issue as shown in my video

Calm down bro! the guy did not respond to that post which I replied to days ago until after I made this thread. I honestly don't care about thread count so stop saying that I am boosting it.
all the veterans are always so fiesty. You are mixed with the masses now, it's gonna happen, just get used to it. I did. Dont let the new account fool you, I lost access to my old email and had to make a new one... time for change!
On to the actual topic. I am curious about this as well... I plan on taking the phone apart soon so it would be nice to know what to expect...
It's the mic for the camcorder.

Im sure you are wrong about it being a Mic for the camcorder, it is most likely for noise cancellation

Well, if I'm wrong, why does the recorded audio sound exactly the same if I completely cover the mic on the bottom edge of the phone (the one used for voice calls)?
Edit: I'm sure it's used for noise cancellation too, if that even works - but generally, it doesn't, cause every time I use the phone in a noisy area, the person on the other end can hear everything.

what your saying all the noise cancellation is true however I thought that I remember that if I covered up the mic on the bottom that it did make the video sound quiet, maybe I'm actually wrong

Hey guys,
my N5 finally arrived yesterday.
I noticed that if the vibration is running there is a rattle sound at the end of the vibration. Its kinda quiet but you hear it very clear when there are no background noises.
I think I have to RMA it.
Anyone else with that problem? Better, any fixes for that except completely disableing vibration?
(I am sad and and catch at a straw:cyclops: )

Hi guys. Just received my Nexus 5 today and it has been working perfectly. Only thing I noticed is that the haptic feedback motor is a little loud. My other phone is a Nexus 4 and it's definitely louder than it.
Anybody else noticed this or maybe it's my device.
Thanks.

Did you receive a replacement? I have exactly the same problem but some say it's quite normal.
Stick with it, mine quietened down after a week or so, just like the N4 now... Maybe just needs bedding in?

To be honest, that seems normal to me. The defect with the vibration motor is only if it makes a clicking /chirping sound when typing. That signifies that the vibration motor had been fitted incorrectly.
Your video just seems like it's fine.

It's not normal, maybe you can't hear because of the audio quality of the video.
I tryed my friend's nexus and it's ok, I'm gonna rma another time cause the new device is defected too, this time has also got a display problem.
Hi,
Trying to record an audio on my nexus (lecture for example) and having some issues with it.
I start record and then leave it with screen off for an about half hour or more (plenty of space for the file). when I start to listen to the audio that I recorded, the sound is not clear with gaps.
Checked the recorded audio on my PC also and still same result - awful sound with gaps.
It is not app related because I tried already 5 or more of them (apps that work great on my old HTC desire).
I'm using stock rom (4.4.2) with Franco kernel - without modifications to it.
Any suggestions ?
Its the microphone or rather, the noise cancellation algorithm. We're hoping the next update fixes it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So there is nothing to do for now? In my opinion it is something to do with noice cancellation algorithm.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda premium
Best you can do for now is ensure the build.prop has the below entries
Persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
persist.audio.fluence.speaker=false

Only voicecall state is true.

Most people believe its software, but I believe its hardware. Maybe the Nexus 5 has a very poor microphone.

1) phone hasn't even been out 4 months
2) they obviously didn't know the issue existed at release
3) what's your experience of writing noise cancellation algorithms that you know how long it takes?
4) if its "hardware", why has it taken "Google" as long as "8 months" to replace the microphone?
5) how come disabling the noise cancellation in build prop for phone calls removes the issue in phone calls if its hardware?
Believe what you want, but you have no more insight than anyone else and no evidence to suggest anything

Great reply :good:
I have been using my One Plus for a few days and I noticed I couldn't use "Okay Google" unless the phone was within a few inches from my mouth. I tested this in my garage screaming at my phone till I felt like a idiot, cause my wife came in and asked "Why are you screaming at Google?" . So I started looking through CM's source and found a a commit that referenced the problem.
I searched on XDA to see if others were affected by this problem and came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/fixed-microphone-ok-google-low-t2805568 . So I made a flashable zip after testing it. Now, I'm not screaming at my phone anymore.
REQUIREMENTS:
1) Rooted
2) Recovery installed (I use TWRP)
3) Common sense
HOW TO:
1) Boot into recovery
2) Install
3) Profit
This has worked for several others with low microphone sensitively,without any problems. This is not to say nothing will happen to your device, each device differs from one another,depending on different circumstances.

Thanks DirtyDroidX, that wonderful little zip has considerably improved the Google Now recognition. BTW, I had no problem at all with the flash. I'd actually stopped using voice command on the OPO because it was so bad! Props to you sir

I also have problem with low microphone. Does it apply to OPO 64gb EU?
There seems to be another merge regarding this issue.
First I though they just moved the previously fixed one, but this mixer_paths.xml is bigger than the one from the previous fix.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/69311/
Compared the new one with the one in my Gummy Team rom, to push the latest to /system/etc, but seems they already have the new one.
Btw compared the One to my Nexus 5 and they're either the same, or the One reacted a little better to the "Okay Google" command.
What exactly does this zip do to the phone that improves voice recognition?

I was looking at the too. I was looking at the build script for some things and think there is a few things in the kernel that might need adjusted . I'm going to look more in a little.

All it does is raise the microphone gain by replacing a XML file at the system level.
