Like the title might indicate I'm searching for a solution to the described problem.
Sometimes I like to take videos at shows and since switching to the new Nexus 5 the videos are basically useless since the audio is distorted as hell. I came from the i9000 and in CM / Voodoo Sound there was an option for recording audio in loud enviroment. Is there something similar for the Nexus 5, any Kernel solutions etc.? Any help is appreciated! :good:
there's no fix afaik
Problem is noise cancellation. Google have acknowledged the problem and are working on a fix, but it hasn't been released yet.
As a work around, you can try covering the noise cancellation microphone. You may have some success temporarily.

Thanks a lot for filling me in ... really haven't been up to date with the facts in a while ... really hope they can make it work. Audio performance on hte i9000 is still top notch.

Hi folks! First off absolutely outstanding work on the ROMs going around in here. Your work has made my Inspire go from mild to wild BUT...
BACKGROUND: The issue I am experiencing I have done extensive work to try and diagnose down to a particular issue. All the testing done here was done between different ROMs and kernels and to ensure accuracy all data was wiped (boot,system,data, cache, dalvik,) and roms were installed exactly the way they were released with their packaged kernels intact.
ISSUE: I have great clear audio with the current ROM im using (Core 3.2, 26.05.05.27 M3 radio, leedroid 2.6.32.30 kernel 2.2.4) but dispite the excellent audio I swear that I can hear the input from the mic at the bottom reproducing sound in the ear peice. The best way i can describe it is to say the mic gain is WAY too high and that its pushing any sounds from the mic to the earpiece. Some callers report hearing an echo. I can with 100% certainty confirm that CM7 does not produce this issue and I also believe AR3.0 doesnt cause this issue either. For lack of a better exacmple, I would say it sounds like if you had two phones, called the other one and accepted the call and held both phones up to your ears allowing the sound to "loop back" into the earpiece from the mic.
P.S. I also know that when this issue is present I also notice an increased amount of background hissing noise. Very faint and completely within acceptable limits, I can just tell there is more of it.
Call me crazy but I just wanted to bring this up incase anyone else sees this.
Thank you all and please continue youre incredible work wiht the ROMs here
please post in the appropriate rom thread, not start a new one...thread closed.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has this issue where you get this strange ticking sound during playback of a video you've recorded. Anyone know if there's some specific setting I'm supposed to turn on/off to make it go away? It's bugging the hell out of me.
I've noticed, however, that if I turn the WiFi off the ticking sound goes away. So I guess that's my fix for now.

FOCUS
The noise comes from the lense trying to focus on the new view when you move the phone. It has nothing to do with the Wi-Fi. Probably you were moving less while on Wi-Fi.
The bad thing is that this noise is even recorded pretty loudly in the video. This is a very good question as this could become a major issue with this phone.
I haven't experimented a lot with mine yet to determine how to avoid this issue. I would try to not to make jerk movements while in video mode to see if the lens will move smoothly and will not make any noise.
There are $900+ camcorders that do poor sales due to some similar problems. Noisy cooling fan etc. I really hope HTC did not overlook this issue.
Let us know if you do any of the above siggested experiments and if you still have the noise.
Thanks
Hi,
I tried doing what you suggested and it didn't help that I was holding the phone very still when shooting a video. The ticking sound is still there. But as soon as I turn the WiFi off it goes away.
Could it be some kind of interference problem?

I have clicking with our without wi fi. And the noise comes in the exact moment I move the camera and lens trying to re-focus. It might have to do something with the settings /hopefully...

I've taking some shots this morning. You can see them here.

Let me know what you think.
Thank you for sharing these videos.
I imagined the sound be much worse based on the comments but it's not that bad. Still annoying though and should be fixed. Especially for those recording more silent videos (like me).
OK these are two different things. The noise that I am referring to is video #1 00:06 the noise from the lens. And since your are not doing long short distance it only clicks once thru the video.
I agree that you have ticking sound and might be some interference with the WiFi unique to your apartment etc.
However, there is another noise source, that every phone has but people are not aware of it yet. The noise from the lens focusing which is much louder than the ticking noise in your video
video here:

I didn't really notice the sound resulting from the lens focusing, but I'll check again. And I'll test recording some videos while connected to the WiFi at work. Like you said, it could just be an interference problem with my home WiFi.
Just a quick update,
I recorded a short video at work, while connected to the office WiFi. No change. The ticking sound was still there. So I'm guessing there's something wrong with the camera module that makes it susceptible to WiFi interference.
I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

I'm having the same issue with my HTC One X. Wifi on = noise in recordings.
With the new blackout rc3 the problem is solved for me

Hello,
the question is in the title : do you have sound quality issues throught hearphones like noise , artefacts...? It seems I have some random buzzing noises like a stuttering but I can't find where it could come from.
Nope, my headphone clarity is great and the speakers are about 50x better than nexus 4

None on my end either and personally I don't think the speakers are THAT bad.
I dont know what's causing this, it's the problem with random defects...
I managed to reproduce the issue : when I make a bug report from develloper option while listening to music.Bluetooth seems unaffected.I made a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XZSef6fuKU
any ideas?
thanks
The speaker is a lot quieter and not as clear as my S2, but it does the job.. Only use it so often.
But, I don't know about you guys.. what's quite annoying is that in apps that force the screen counter clockwise when viewing horizontally my hand covers the speaker and I have to adjust my holding position to hear sound. It seems strange that they didn't place the speaker and mic the opposite way round.. (maybe for calls.. I don't know..)
Also annoyingly, there's such a simple solution, if only somehow all apps could be forced the opposite way then the speakers on the top left and is never covered maybe it could be incorporated into a custom rom?

Hello, so, I've seen a lot of people complaining about microphone noise but that's not my problem.
The Problem:
Sometimes when people call me they say they can't hear me, or hear me like I'm meters away from the phone, other times it's fine. Tried recording with the camera and with sound recording apps from the play store and they all record the sound perfectly on both mics.
The Debugging
Seeing this seemed to be happen randomly on the calls but I couldn't reproduce it anywhere else I decided to start digging the root of this problem.
I searched the web and got this thread on Google Forums: http://productforums.google.com/d/topic/nexus/JZGA5p-VX1A/discussion where they mention recording with Google Keep, so I did a comparison betwen a recording with ASR (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.asr) and Google Keep, here:
ASR: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13954549/ASRbgnoise.ogg
Keep: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13954549/Keepbgnoise.3gp
As you can see (hear), the problem doesn't seem to be hardware related, as the recording with ASR sounds perfect, even when I recorded with noise cancellation on, off and using the camera mic, with background noise, but I can barely hear the Google Keep recording, it sounds like I'm meters away from the phone.
The problem seems to affect about 1/4th of my calls and with Google Keep it seems that it's always there, atleast on all my recordings, I think it might be a software bug on the noise cancellation, what do you guys think? I think that if it was hardware problem it would happen with all apps?
Any help you guys could give me on how to further debug and/or fix this would be very welcome.
any help would be appreciated

Same issue here. Waiting for an update. I'll RMA if that doesn't do anything.
thank you for your feedback, I updated the OP to make it easier to read.
Atleast I'm not the only one with this problem...
I'm a programmer and I know a bit of android but I only have the general idea how the noise cancellation works, I don't really know the details, so if a dev could help me debug or fix it would be great.
shameless self bump
I had the same issue, only the mic was basically useless on every single call, unless you used speakerphone.
I was going to RMA, but decided to flash
Cataclysm before I did. Surprisingly, this corrected the issue completely! Not sure what the rom changed, but I'm not complaining!!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
well that ROM seems to have a non-stock dialer, may have something to do with the dialer app?
Oh crap, I thought I was the only one! I'm having the same problem, but it's so random!
Just wanted to say I'm having this issue too. I noticed it gets worse if I point the microphone directly away from me while on a call. I think there's some interference with the noise cancelling microphone at the top of the phone.
Me too *bump*

thx for your feedback. I'm still trying to figure out how to further pinpoint this bug, I need help from some dev...
I too have experienced this but only while the phone was charging.. weird.
I'm also having this problem...it seems to work about 50% of the time...I thought it was a signal strength issue.
I also have the same problem that will surely be a software bug and that has to do with the microphone from the top! while there is no solution for it, I glued some black adhesive tape to cover the microphone hole in the top, and it seems that resulted ... nobody complains hear me far away ...
Hi same issue
Since someone said the Cataclysm ROM fixed that bug i've contacted the ROM dev to see if he has any idea what could be that fixed it so i can pinpoint what is wrong
daily bump
Just posting that I too have this problem. Usually happens when calls first connect. I have to say "hello" 2 or sometimes 3-4 times before the other person can finally hear me. It's annoying listening to my girlfriend say "ugh what's wrong with your new phone? See you should have gotten an iPhone" LOL.
I posted about this in another thread. I have the same issue.
If you haven't tried already, record a video in a quiet environment on your phone. You can hear a hissing noise and any time you talk it sounds kind of staticy.
Does anyone else have issue with noise crackling sound when recording a video? I have determined that it is not just my phone, but my wife's phone does this as well. Also, I have read online(linked below) that others have had this issue since the Note 5 was upgraded to Nougat 7.0. I have recorded with some other camera apps(Open Camera, Cinema FV-5, ) and have had mixed results, but have found some that do not have this crackling. It seems to happen when there is a lot of bass, like at a concert. With there being a difference in apps, could it be the post processing/encoding of the video audio that is causing this?
So, I am wondering if there will be a bug fix or another update soon to the Note 5, but I am not holding my breath. I also do not want to root and custom ROM this time due to actually liking Samsung Pay
