Hey, I have a problem with android programing when I try to record and then play the file that was just recored. I can both record and play the sound but the quality stinks. Its not just bad is really hard to listen to and sound abit like its a computer generated voice. I use the andriod SDK-emulator. The code that sets up the recording looks like this;
MediaRecorder recorder = new MediaRecorder();
recorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
recorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.RAW_AMR);
recorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
recorder.setOutputFile(path);
recorder.prepare();
recorder.start();
And the code playing the file later looks like this;
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.reset();
mp.setDataSource(path); mp.prepare(); mp.start();
I don't know what part that makes the audio file sound really bad or if its just the emulator that makes it bad and that it would work on a real phone.
Voice recorder and all other 3rd party apps record audio like absolute garbage. I am very disappointed. Such an awesome camera and camcorder but it sounds like I am speaking through a damn kazoo. I am dying to know if it's firmware or just cheap hardware, not to sound bitter but the iphone has a SUPER high quality mic being that Incredible just came out I was very surprised at the low quality of the audio recording

I mean I can record video at 720p 25 fps, but the DAMN audio gets recorded at 12 kbps!!
It's just tinny and annoying sound cuts up all the time.
So it is it possible to increase the bitrate of audio via modifying some system file or changing some parameters in phones hidden settings or something like that?? my phone is a Chinese Zopo PILOT ZP100. .
btw, When I use Sound / voice recorder, it records in 3gppp at high setting with 127 kbps AAC audio.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had my Hero for a few days. My prior phone was the Palm Pre. The pre was a great phone and when webos 1.40 came out, video recording was great. The downside of the phone is that it felt that I was holding an egg and the overall build was horrible. Not to mention that the screen would go funky if it was used for more than 5 minutes. I went with the Hero because I love HTC phones. I've heard so many great things about it. I have issues with taking pictures and recording videos with this phone. The picture quality is horrible and so is the video recording. I have only recorded one video...its of my 5 year old singing (25 seconds) and it looks like she is possessed! It appears that the phone cannot keep up with movement. I know it doesn't have a flash and I know how to adjust the settings. Even in bright light everything appears washed out. Are there any fixes or 3rd party apps that could resolve this? Will the new 2.1 update improve things?
View 8 Replies View RelatedFor those who don't know yet. The desires back cover has a camera lens protector made by very cheap plastic, that scratches very easily. When this happens, the pictures will have a "glowing", blurry, un sharp look. What I did was removing the piece of transparent plastic "lens protector" on the back cover and then used a small piece of screen protector and sticked it on the lenses. Even without it the chances you actually scratch the lens is virtually none. So now I have a hole in my back cover, but I dramatically improved my picture and video quality.
View 49 Replies View RelatedThe dual LED flash on the EVO works well in moderately lit situations but when shooting in the dark the flash makes images extremely bright and washed out. I was messing around with the camera settings and was able to produce decent results by changing ISO, brightness, etc. but that's a pain. Instead, tape a small strip of plain white paper over the LED flash. It diffuses the flash and makes a huge difference.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy Hero has the latest ROM and is running on O2. when i get an MMS, the picture quality is terrible. i have been sent MMSs from different phones (inc. iphone) and different networks. The pictures look great on the phones on which they were taken, but appear low resolution when received on my hero. I can't find any setting to increase the quality. I do notice that when I open the received photo in albums, it is super tiny. So it looks like the Hero (or Android) is shrinking them. Are there some settings I can change? I can't find anything that appears relevant. Or else an app that will help?

- Change Home Page, Home Orig, and Roam Orig from option EVRC to EVRC-B

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen taking photo's this weekend that involved zooming in i found that the picture taken was never in focus. I have enabled the image stabilizer function but still whenever i zoom at all it is blurred (not sharp). When taking a picture that didn't involve zooming the image is sharp as you would expect from the camera. Is anyone having this trouble or is it just a dodge phone/camera i have and should go back to my supplier and exchange it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to create an audio recording in Android. (Actually, I just want access to the mic without recording it, but it seems that's not supported so I'll have to create a recording and tail the file). I'm having a very hard time getting started. Mostly I'm just hoping that someone from Google reads this and will update the documentation because the example won't compile - it looks like it's from some previous version of the SDK because there's an error in every other line. I made my best guess as to what the usage should be, but I keep getting a number of different exceptions. One question I had is whether I can just specify an arbitrary path to the MediaRecorder to start recording or whether I have to create an entry in the content database. The JavaDoc for MediaRecorder.setOutputFile isn't clear on what it's expecting.

If you could explain any theoreticals on how software interacts with the hardware to produce such improvements, that would be appreciated too.

I have a Java application where in I am trying to read Audio samples from the mic into a buffer and then write the samples back to speaker from a buffer for playing. I have used AudioRecord and AudioTrack interfaces. Below are my configurations for the Record and Track object creation. AudioTrack(0, 8000, 2, 2, playBufSize, 1); AudioRecord(1, 8000, 2, 2, recBufSize); Using AudioRecord interface I am able to read the samples from mic continiously (8000 sampling rate and 640 samples per read). In the similar way I am also able to write some pcm samples to the speaker from a buffer and play it continuously using the AudioTrack interface (without record). But when I try to do both record and play simultaneously I am able to only record audio from mic but I am not able to play any samples to speaker. I am getting this error " ------- attemp playback while recording, cheat it! ----- " in the log cat.
I have given the following permissions "android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" and "android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" in the Manifest file. I didn't find any special permission to play the audio. Is there anything else that I need to enable?

Im trying to record audio directly from the system. Using the standard API, you can only record from the MIC or phonecalls, ala: MediaRecorder.Some ways I've tried is to read from /dev/audio and /dev/eac from my app, but I think the sandbox of the app is preventing this.Im thinking about using the NDK, but Im not sure if that would overcome the sandbox aspect ? Ideally, there is some solution outthere to access the audio sub- system directly. Whether it be directly to alsa, to the AudioFlinger, to /dev/eac
