WhatsApp sound problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I send an audio note (by holding down the microphone icon), in Whatsapp ... the audio seems to come out in a low volume. When I play my own recording back on my phone, I have to pump up the media volume to the max to hear myself at a decent level. The other party on the other end seems to find the audio low in volume as well.
The strange thing is, if I create an audio file with the built in Sound Recorder, and then share that to Whatsapp, it's loud and clear. It's not like my microphone is broken. Audio records fine in all other circumstances.
I know many friends thats happen the same with same phone

Just tried this out on a Snapdragon 800 Note 3 running 4.3. I am unable to replicate the issue, however the quality is noticeably worse than what it would be if I used the built in sound recorder. This is because WhatsApp compresses what you are sending though, which might be what you are experiencing.

It might just be worth re-installing WhatsApp? It could be an error caused by a recent update that only manifests when you update from an older version.

Everything still the same

I've changed my mind, I agree with you, the audio quality is awful. This is obviously an issue with the WhatsApp application, but as I state before I'm now 100% sure it's the audio compression, it doesn't work well. It sounds like I'm underwater!

Please report to Whatsapp department

Will do, the more people we can get to report this the quicker the issue should be solved.
Furthermore, if you use Snapchat have you noticed that you cannot record video for the full amount of time? It cuts it around 5 seconds short, you might not use it but it's just something I've noticed.

At the moment all you can do is report it to the WhatsApp support team here It isn't a problem with the Note 3, it's a problem with WhatsApp itself.

The Sony Xperia Z1 seems to suffer from a similar problem, if not the same. I also reported the issue to the WhatsApp support team.
I will report back if I receive feedback.

I received a confirmation email, telling me to look at the FAQ and if required to provide additional information. Since neither the WhatsApp FAQ held any related information and I provided all the details I know of, I thought there's no further action required.
I attached a voice recording sample in my first inquiry, which lead to whatsapp.zendesk.com. I quickly created an account (in my case just requested a password), verified my mail address and was able to see my request.
It was in the status "Awaiting your response >>" *head against the wall* ... So I sent another note, this time in English (sent the first in German language). Let's see what happens next.

Did you re-use the request ID you got by mail or did you open 6 separate tickets? Have you had a look at your request(s) at whatsapp.zendesk.com and if so, what's the status?

That's great! The more people report the issue, the higher the chances of getting some attention.
Have you sent a second mail after receiving the initial "Request receipt" confirmation? Apparently if one doesn't, the ticket is placed in status "Awaiting your response".
I doubt it will be processed but closed automatically after after a few days, if no further reply is received, because one of the three suggested FAQ topics supposedly solved your problem, it was 'just' a feature request or whatever ideas are behind the way of handling email requests that way. At least that's what my experience with other support sites / help-desks has taught me...

7 days ago, on Feb 7th I received another email from WhatsApp support. Unfortunately it was a busy week and I managed to reply just yet. The ticket was again placed in "Awaiting your response"...
I will continue to post my experiences with the WhatsApp support team in the Sony Xperia Z1 area of the forum.

This has been fixed now, WhatsApp acknowledged the issue and have repaired it.

In-call recording app - any?

I would like to record calls automatically (both my voice and the caller's one).
Is there some app that can do this?
Thank you all for answering
sorry for being an Android noob, but too many years into WM...
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-opensystem-callrecord-jjDw.aspx
Thank you for your fast reply
I took the time to read the comments of the users, and they were far from enthusiastic....
Have you tried the app yourself?
How did it worked for you?
No call recording apps work, they only ever record your side of the convo unless on speaker phone. It's something to do with an android limitation. Not sure why there's not been one for rooted devices though, I'd pay for that.

Do you not read the comments ?.... not working ...
I'm looking for this too. I had even bought Ultimate Voice Recorder based on good experience of it on WinMo, but it wasn't until after more than a week of it running in the background, generating loads of .3gp files did I notice that they were all 0 bytes long.
Kind of ridiculous that this works on 1.5/1.6, but not on 2.x.
using totalrecall here, works beautifully!
@DomFel, are you using a Desire? great news if total recall works on it...
Deleted post
total recall works on desire?
Felt it was necessary to bump this one. I have tested Total recall but it clearly states that it will not record for +2.0 devices.
I'm getting some very unpleasant calls from even more unpleasant people, and desperately need to record calls. Got a great recorder on Winmo (Audio touch note). Is it really so that Winmo haves something that Android even cant support?? I would be surprised if this was so!
Please let me know if you have a working app.
so am i.
im looking for in-call recorder app.. keep me posted..
Hey guys
I am using vRecorder on my desire and it works. There are some annoying features though:
First time you open the app, it will ask you to donate. Just press 0$ and afterwards press the back-button.
The following times when you open the app, it will show you a "commercial" asking you if you want to check out other apps from the developer.
It records all calls (in- and out-going), so there is no record button. It just always records all calls (it is possible to exclude numbers though).
Hope it helps, and let me know if you guys find a better app
Just tried vRecorder and it records my voice but not the other's. Other than that it's great
at mine there was a pre installed in call recorder...but its only called in-call recorder...nothing else..its build by HTC
Just tried vRecorder when I set up a new voicemail greeting. It recorded both sides and it was really good, but then it went rubbish. I worked out why-it's only recording from the microphone and first part when it was good was when I had it on speakerphone. It went really quiet after that, and was only audible as I was in a quiet room and my volume is high. Uninstalled...
Read this http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117
Dont forget to star the issue.
So is there any info if this issue will be fixed in Froyo? Or if an app for a rooted Desire have turned up?
Total Recall dont work on my desire 2.2...

Samsung Galaxy s i9000 Mic sensitivity recording

This is my first samsung. And I think i'm a bit spoiled as a nokia n900 user. But the recorded sound on my samsung galaxy is just horrible in comparison to my n900.
Last night I went to a show of cypress hill here in the Netherlands. And started recording. The video quality is super. Only the noise makes it almost impossible to distinguish any of the songs etc. I mean really horrible.
After some research i found out that users with the samsung omnia had this same issue, and they found a solution wich was adjusting some settings in the hidden menu of the phone.
Is it also possible to adjust these settings in the galaxy s i9000?
Below are the settings for the omnia hd reducing
with phonepad digit *#0002*28346#
then 3) Record
then 04) CamcordARM_AMR (this is volume gain in video record)
Go to
TxMicAmp : 24
digit 18#
and then when you go back will see
TxMicAmp : 25
Then go to
Tx Channel: 18
digit 18#
and then when you go back will see
Tx Channel: 18
To save all changes go back back
6)Backup and will show "Backup OK"
Yeah I noticed the heavy clipping (sounds like static, noise, distortion) in all of the Galaxy S recordings. I haven't really seen anyone else mention it.
However the Omina HD runs Windows Mobile does it not? Totally different OS there..
this should show that menu *#197238640#
Any luck with this? I have opened the service menu, but no idea what to do after that.
i also would like a fix for this!

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I got the same problem when I try to run VOIP application. The noise is so terrible. I can enter "service mode", but I don't know how to setup them either.
Same here, video recording is quite useless like this... Went to a concert last evening and video is great but sound is ultimate crap! As in one big pile of noise.
But also when recording a video in the car, with just the radio on, is stretching it... It is at least possible to distinguish different sounds but already distorted.
Such a shame! Any fix for this would be great (and couldn't find much in the servicemode settings unfortunately).
I'm using the JM2 firmware and the sound of recorded videos is poor.
I wish we found the solution, as I had found on i8910
Meh, contacted samsung helpdesk (mail) and got a standard response
'We are currently developing a firmware update, please keep an eye out for it on the samsung website'. (translated from dutch ).
My guess is the firmware update won't fix a thing since it's still present in JM2 but we'll see.

In other words: keep waiting. Saying it will be fixed in next release is the best way to keep customers happy without doing anything
But on the other side maybe with 2. 2 it will be fixed.

Yup, I know... But what can you do. They prolly also don't know much about the technical stuff.
At least there's a new firmware coming up, I think I'll give JP3 another shot and see if things have improved there.
Hey guys,
anyone tried playing with *#*#197328640#*#* => audio => handset => diamond solution => voice booster? or acoustic shock free? sounds like something related to me, gonna try.

that's a good tip
can more people confirm if this optimization works well?
if so, then we can put this as a sticky / FAQ / wiki
Disregard my post about Diamond solution, it's for headphones. I'm pretty sure some parts of the service menu => audio => handset could be tweaked to make audio recording better, just need someone who knows what means what.
There is a way to alter the recording volume during the recording however it requires adb shell and it only lasts for the duration of the remainder of the recording.

That's something at least, wanna share that?
Also I found a quick and dirty workaround if you wanna record some music before some kind of fix appears - just put your finger on the mic hole while recording ^^

1) It happens to me as well sometimes. I believe it is the aggressive memory management policy of GiONEE which keeps killing the Whatsapp process. It doesn't really bother me. But if you are rooted and have installed Xposed, you can try installing the "App Settings" module and make Whatsapp 'resident' app. which will keep the app in the memory.
2) You must set your choice of Keyboard as default in "Setting/Language and input"

[GUIDE]Call recording in Moto G - Both side being recorded ! [Root]

Hey guys,
After a lot of testing , I have come across the perfect call recorder for Moto G ( Root Needed ).
It is recording both the sides very clearly.
It is Ad free and very easy to use.
The only downside is that the Auto Call record feature is only available in the PRO version ...
But we can record the calls manually, that too very easily using this app.
Guide to install and set it up :
Download the Boldbeast Call recorder from Google play or this link.
In settings , Open Call settings
In record mode , Select 'Mode 1'
Grand SuperUser permission when prompted and that it !
You should be having a perfectly working call recorder .:angel:
To record the calls , Just tap the White and Red Button that you can see on the Call screen when you are making/receiving a call...
If there are any issues , try testing other modes .
Don't forget to hit the 'Thanks Button !" ...:good:
Thank so much. it really work.
I'm pretty sure there could be legal issues with this unless the other side has been warned that it's being recorded.

I'm not form US but still i don't allow to record me during phone call. I don't get why peoples are so obsessed with call recording. If you don't have something to hide you dont need to record anything, or you are just so scared about something that you have to record call - you really are paranoid person. Seriously.

Going slightly offtopic, but it is mighty useful to be able record calls containing some information you need to recall later, e.g. calls relating to work, as note taking during a phone call is not always an option.

Can't turn off Camera shutter / Screenshot sound

Since yesterday after I played a whatsapp voice message, I can't turn off the camera shutter and Screenshot sound, even though I have my phone in complete silent mode!
Did anyone ever have this problem with their 6p or know any solution to turn off those sounds?
I allready restarted the phone, uninstalled the camera updates and reinstall from the play store, went into the settings to make sure I was in silent mode, still nothing works!
Any help is much appreciated!
I think that Google's intent was to prevent non-determined creeps from taking "upskirt" shots and other related idiocies. You have to delete/rename some file, I think it was /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg or some such. This needs root.

It's illegal in South Korea (and many countries) for any mobile phone maker to sell a phone that allows a user to silence the faux shutter sound on their mobile phone cameras. You'll need to download a custom ROM that allow them to be silenced, or delete the sound like the above posted said.

That is really interesting! A friend of mine has a stock samsung galaxy s7 and it doesn't make a single sound when taking a picture!
Anyways, thank you very much for your answer, really appreciated and I even learned something!
