Hi there
I have got an mpeg on my XDAIIs which is 4MB in size, however my XDA wont let me set that file type as my ringtone.
To get round this I downloaded a converter and converted the format to WAV, I can now select it as my ringtone, however it has increased in size to 35MB!!!!
This is taking up my memory and causing my XDA to run slow, I only have 3MB spare left to run programs
Can I enable my XDA to set Mpegs as my ringtone, or can I direct my XDA to allow ringtones from another location than windows/phone, i.e on my storage card?
Kind Regards
Tim
No offence intended, but how long exactly is this "Ringtone" you're trying to play?
A WAV file of 35Mb? Assuming that's CD quality that's 44.1KHz, 16 bit sound and stereo so that's 172Kb/second and so a 35Mb file so that means it's about 208 seconds long? (over 3 minutes). (And that's assuming it's not compressed at all!)
Forgive me as I have no idea how your device is set up, but most peoples voice mail activates before 20 seconds (and you loose a few seconds while it finds the phone/activates the ring as well) so in my personal opinion I think your solution is to edit the WAV file for the 25 seconds (max) that you actually want to hear.
Also you could lower the quality too. The XDA IIs only has one speaker so only needs mono (instantly halving the filesize) and 8bit instead of 16bit would halve it again and I don't think you'd notice any difference over the IIs's speaker (would have to experiment). Finally I think you would likely be able to get away with 22KHz as well (maybe even 11KHz!) for the quality thus more savings with minimal quality loss and smaller file size.
25 second WAV file at 22KHz = 22Kb/second (bit of a saving on 172Kb/second!) and 25 seconds of it would only make the total file 473Kb. At 11KHz/s that'd be only 236Kb. Ideally you could use a WAV codec like ADPCM and get the filesize down even more, but I have no idea if the IIs supports that, never tried it.
The final option is to MP3 it (I think this is probably what you meant by MPEG, but MPEG and MPEG-3 (MP3) are two completely different formats). You need a newer ROM for MP3 support and I *think* it's slightly slower to play an MP3 ring tone instead of a WAV, but just giving you as many options as I can think of. But if you MP3'd a 25 second WAV file... it'd slaughter the file size
Hope that's some help and that my maths are right! I'm sure someone will chime in if they're not!
Not much help here.. but I would suggest you to have your mp3 converted to wav and trimmed to less than 30 seconds will do. I mean, there isn't a real need for a long ring tones if you are doing to pick up your phone anyway.
Hi guys.
I flashed the custom rote X-Note 15 and suprisingly I still can't disable the camera shutter sound.
I tried many ways :
- app Galaxy Note 2 hidden features
- app silence stream something
- app camera mute
I also tried to remove the ogg files from /system/media/audio/ui/ , camera_click.ogg and camera_click_short.ogg, renamed them to .bak.
Camera still makes sound ...
I replace the orignal ogg files by copies of camera_empty.ogg ... in vain. Still the ****in sound.
I don't get where the sound comes from. I though maybe it was in RAM , so I restarted the phone, still the sound was there.
Now I found the apk SamsungCamera2Guy.apk, which contains the sound. But coudl it be possible that the application takes the sound file from the apk each time ?
If so, I would like to edit the apk and remove the file directly. I tried with a few tools but it failed so far.
Any hint how to remove once and for all the sound ?
Hello,
With some devices, whatsapp audio record looks very awful, almost unlistenable. I know that the app provide some compression over the file to save bandwith, but the strange thing is that with other devices(Sony, Apple, etc...) the sound quality is just great. With this, i have 2 theories about it:
1- There must be a file with audio profiles that the app could use, just like media_profiles.xml that tells output, bitrate, etc, or...
2- Whatsapp is using a "generic" audio record method, not getting advantage of other audio options the device could offer.
The only problem with the second theory is that if you record a video throught the own app/3rd party, the audio is very clear and good.I've tried to look over system/, data/, etc/ and libs/ to see if there's any file that could lead to solution but nothing came.
Please, someone consider some further investigation about this issue, with i believe many people faces this.
Thank you.
Dear All Pixel 2 Users,
I bought my pixel 2 yesterday and I have observed that recorded video has very low audio volume I feel that this is because of the fact that Mike is not able to properly capture the audio while recording.
I tried to check the forums but did not get any help in this regard . Therefore I'm making a new thread and and hope that if you have come across this issue where the recorded video has low audio.
Same issue has been seen while recording videos in Instagram, Snapchat & other XYZ applications .
Pl can help me out so as to how to fix this issue or if this issue has already been addressed by Google you can let me know I'll be more than glad for your help in this regard looking forward for some constructive information.
I'm attaching a recorded file from the camera application of pixel 2 & after the recording I played the file & found that the audio level was low despite keeping my media volume at the top.
Hope it helps.
Also I'm uploading two videos recorded simultaneously on Instagram:
1. Pixel 2 (little warmer video)
2. One Plus 5 (more of highlighted)
Thanks in advance.
I just realized that I'm unable to upload the files so I'll provide the link to the same.

To be quite honest with yo, I believe that the sound quality is better on the pixel 2. Also, apparently the February update fixes some mic issues

Hello,
I don't have any issue with the sound quality. It's amazing. Just when you record something, the output file video has very low audio.

Hi @devcon69,
Will it work on Redmi note 5 pro Global version (9.5.13.0) as I am from India and hate the fact that I can't hear much on PUBG mobile?
If not, can you please make one file for Redmi note 5 pro global version or let me know which values in which files you changed for earphone audio

He says that it was "Tested on Global 9.5.13.0. "
also , there are 2 files , you can compare patch and restore archives to see which values are different

Any idea how to change the filters on the audio recording? I noticed that during video recording the audio seems to have a high pass filter. Meaning almost no bass.
@devcon69 and @kodorevi8ulis.
Thanks again, its working fine now but now output while listening to music on headphones is way loud, more like sound is getting distorted at full volume.
I will try to increase the volume by 4 in that case.

Nope, record a song with bass and then listen to the recording with a headphones. Seems that there is a high pass filter like at 150Hz or so.

I really don't know what you edited. Everything is posted here. You just edit the files according to your liking and find which is better. I've tried this and it all worked fine for me, well to my ears.. If you don't like the effect then restore the default settings.

I asked about changing audio filters. Noise reduction has nothing to do with it.

No worries, I'm sorry for asking for the high pass filter settings and getting a reply back in regards to noise reduction. My English must be bad. Good that you got your first like.

Yea man I really don't owe you anything. If you're not satisfied with my answer then ask for others help cause it's what you're good at.
You are ungrateful. Think you're better than them? Then don't ask for help.
Are you mocking [email protected] for his english and for the thank I gave him?! Really man??

Since when did I mock [email protected] about his English? I asked YOU about the high pass filter and even posted asking you to test this with a track with some bass and headphones. To me that is a very clear question. I'm a non native English speaker, so stop blaming of something which I did not do at all, that is just false accusation and not done! Maybe we should have some moderators have a look at this?
Good job... Finally low sound issues on pubg and other sound that use headset now solved... Great job!!!
How you will do that to 4 bit...can you help me

If you have flashed the patch zip then restore it.
Open the patch zip file and extract and replace only one file: audio_policy_configuration.xml using root explorer.
Then set the permissions of newly created come as of other files.
Then restart. It's done
