Hey guys,
i have been using EvoX for quite a while now and really like it. Except it has a bug which causes the volume in snapchat video recordings to become very quiet, leading to my snaps being inaudible.
This is not a hardware issue, as when i am calling or recording audio messages, everything is fine.
i switched to Pixel Experience today, only to find out that this rom also has the issue...
Is there any potentially good ROM without this bug? Or even better, a fix for every ROM?
Help is greatly appreciated.

So I don't know what's just happened - I don't remember changing anything but as of yesterday, I can't hear anything in my calls, and they can't hear me. edit: There's no sound at all through the headset or speakerphone either.
Also the dialer has massive lag between number inputs.
What is causing it?? The phone is now no longer usable as a phone
I was running InsertCoin 3.3.8 and tried wiping, reflashing, restoring back to 3.3.7, and even tried going to MIUI! Still no luck.
Slight update on the issue:
I noticed that if I put the phone on silent, then the lag in dialer disappears. It's as if the phone is lagging because it can't find an audio output source.
Does anybody know if HTC has acknowledged the problem with poor sound quality when recording video on the Sensation? As in -- it's super loud and distorted even when recording in a relatively quiet environment? This has been the single most disappointing thing about this phone for me.
I have seen a couple of threads started about this but there is not much info out there that I've been able to dig up.
Does anybody have more information about the problem or know of anything that can be done to alleviate it? Even if there's a different video recording app someone can recommend, I'd be happy. (From what I've read it sounds like a software issue -- something with the default codec or volume level being borked. Hopefully it doesn't actually have anything to do with the mic itself.)
So currently running the nightly 17 build, but issue was the same with previous builds. Curious if anyone else has this issue or if there is a fix. Issue I'm having is since the install of CM10 [all builds I've tried so far], when sending a Voxer message, the audio recording is incredibly low. Also, if Voxer application is running in the background, when making a phone call, the call quality is horrible and modulated. Quit Voxer, and phone quality is back to normal. Didn't have any such issue with stock. Thanks.

The low volume is probably tied into the same bug that's giving the video recording low volumes, which hasn't been addressed yet and has been going on for a while.
Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be connected but with the phone call quality also dropping after voxer use I wasn't sure. If anyone else is using voxer on CM10 can you confirm a severe audio distortion if you use voxer, then immediately after make a phone call?

I don't use voxer at all, I just know that there's an issue with the developers not using both mics in our phones(or at least thats what I am believing the low volume in the video recording is... seems like they're using only the mic that is when the phone is up against your head/mouth and not the 'speakerphone' mic to grab audio around the room)
Voxer
How did you get you voxer to work at all? i launch it, the screen flicker for about 10 secconds, then my whole pohne shuts off, and i need to remove battery to get it to come back up. any help anyone?
It just worked for me. I did a clean install, etc... The only oddity is that when the phone dialer and voxer are open [even in the background], then any subsequent phone calls have audio interference. Force close voxer and it immediately goes away. That and the low audio recording issue that everyone already knows about.
same issue

I can confirm that I am having the same issue with cm10 on my gs3. I didn't realize that if you closed voxer the issue was fixed. Thanks for the tip. it's there somewhere we should submit this bug?
I've had the exact same issue...

My Nexus 5 microphone does not seem to be working while in calls. What is strange is it seems to work jsut fine when used in Skype, suggesting that this is a software issue. Also strange is that when I turn the microphone mute on/off during a call, I can hear that when the microphone is muted there is less fuzzy white noise. Has anyone encountered this issue? Is this a defective device? I've flashed this device with alternative ROMs, and now I've reflashed it with the factory stock ROM. But nothing changes the behavior that I've described.
I discovered another thread on this that seems related to what I am experiencing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538979
Have you done anything to the device other than ROM flashing (flashed kernel, MODs, etc)?

I think the answer to that question is no. I mean, I had also installed various apps and the like.

Yep, you have the problem many people have encountered with their Nexus 5. I occasionally have this issue. It isn't as bad as when I first got the phone, but the microphone does occasionally go wonky during a call (i.e. callers on the other line say I sound really far away from the phone). The first 2-3 weeks I had the phone people would say all they heard was static while using the microphone (not speakerphone). It works better now, but the static/distant sound persists at times.
The consensus suggests it seems to be a software related issue that Google has not addressed yet.
Hi guys,
First of all: thanks to all the developers who are putting out these great 4.4 ROMs for our device. Sadly, i can't use any of them because of the in call distortion bug, which is well known by now.
Just so i know what the changes are of a fix, nothing more: Could someone tell me if developers are working on a solution? I haven't heard anything the last months, so i was wondering if this bug will be fixed, especially since not everyone faces it and i can understand if devs don't have it high on their priority list. Is it a work in progress, or is this bug collecting dust on a shelf?
Thanks!
can you please explain the bug in more detail?
Noise-cancellation? Echo? Because of theese (and hardcoded in-call volume) i am back on original software :-/ Again and again.
I like the tons of features, great GUI etc. But i'm still using this thing like a TELEPHONE
This bug has been discussed in detail. Some people face a distorted mic problem during a call. The other end of the line hears clipping audio, especially when I'm in a noisy environment. Seems like the microphone gain is set too high. On stock there is no problem.
But it seems like this bug is kinda set aside, so I know not to hope for a speedy solution, I guess.
