Hey people,
When recording videos I noticed the sound quality is veeery bad, but only when I use the front camera of the stock camera app. Rear camera works fine, so it seems like a software problem. It sounds like there is some kind of extreme noise reduction. Now I found another google camera app here on XDA which records the audio fine on both front and rear camera, but it still sucks that on other apps (like snapchat and instagram) the sound quality still sucks. Can't really find a solution for this on the internet, is there anyone who's found a fix for this?
Oh and I'm on OOS Pie btw. Haven't tried flashing another rom yet as I really love this rom.
Thats sadly an Hardware Thing. Thats why I bought an iPhone 8+ only for concerts... For simple pics I take my OP6
The problem of bad audio when recording is from the first oneplus. Sure it got better buy time but with the first one bass was like you were blowing on the mic, with 5 and 5t bass was like it was sucked out, with the six it just a little bit better, but for a flagship it's waaay too bad some mid range phones are better at this even my old xperia arc has better sound recording in clubs and concert or nay place with loud music

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.
Hi,
I am considering the Infuse since the Arc seems a bit too small (I'm using a Dell Streak atm) and I would like to ask some questions about this phone.
1.Most of the phones I've own have a big problem when recording videos during the night or in low light conditions; they tend to drop/skip frames since the camcorder tries to compensate for the lack of light, resulting in very choppy/blurry videos especially for HTC devices. Does the Samsung Infuse follow this trend and are you satisfied with the quality for night/low light movies?
2.I've read that there is also a continuous autofocus for the cam - if you zoom while recording a video, does the camera re-focus or is the video grainy/pixelated?
3.How does the speaker sound? Is it on the low or high volume? I mean, does the music sound clear/crisp and loud, or does it need some boosting in a next firmware?
Thanks for your help!!
Answer
In low light the camera on the infuse performs as well as my Canon Rebel $400 digital camera. This goes for video and stills. The zooming is digital. At 8mp you can zoom pretty far before getting grainy, but as with ALL cell phone cameras you will never be able to take a photo of a college football game when you're sitting in the stands, it just can't zoom that far. The zoom is better than any phone camera I have ever seen, save one device that was primarily a camera and had a klunky phone afterthought. The speaker is loud and crisp. Very decent for playing a tune while I get ready in the morning when I can't use headphones. Hope the info helps.
Thanks for your input - it's really what I was hoping for before considering this phone. This was very helpful!! Thank you!
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

Hi how good is the microphones in the mate 9 do they compare to the v20 or HTC 10?
I recorded via WhatsApp today for 5 minutes, while driving. Phone was on my lap. The pickup was fantastic and even though you can hear the road noise in the background, the vocals were clear and natural.
My HTC One Mate 8 was also pretty good, and that's the only phone of recent memory that I can compare to.
Anyone noticed when video recording in complete silence, there are weird noises? like a buzz or hiss.. weird.. wonder what it is. Its not a big enough problem to affect my OCD though.

Yep. Like a sort of crackling/hissing. Doesn't seem to occur when recording audio only, so I'm thinking it's something in the camera module, like the autofocus or OIS motors.
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.
