The speed of the internal storage? Like what equivalent to classes for sd it would be?

nov 12: edited the title since this turned more into a discussion about the audio pops and clicks from the VIDEO CAMERA and VOICE RECORDING apps....may be a codec problem!? EVERYONE has this; let's bring it to HTC's attention! i currently have an open ticket iwth the escalations department to which he called me, and i sent him the links to my youtube showing all of the clicking noises in every video marked HTC Rezound:

let's bring this to their attention!!
Use Antutu or another bench, they tell you R/W speeds. About the only thing they are good for, lol.
sweet thanks...yeah i wondered what the speed is for that..figured maybe making videos on a faster speed may get rid of those pops and clicks..however i just did, and it didn't do **** lol
I haven't recorded any videos on my Rezound yet, still, lol.
I did a few more guitar videos today.. Same clicks and pops. Meh

Is it while focusing or zooming? Or is it just the sound is too loud entering the device?
Might be when sound is too loud. I don't notice any focusing going on but that's a damn good idea. I think we can turn auto focus off in video too. It's like a digital blip noise so i don't know what exactly it is
It also did it with an acoustic, which isn't loud at all.... So i think it does it irregardless of sound

I recorded a quick video of my puppies play fighting in my livingroom. The only "noise" I hear is my phone vibrating and the notification of Kenny Powers "Dollar Dollar Bills Ya'll" when I get a text mid video! I am pleasantly surprised by this though! My X2 would stop recording if I got a message of any kind. I like that this records right through it, so you can just put it on silent and record away!
hmm...yeah, here's the noise i hear:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-UQWEXvGQs
very noticeable here; did this yest
I hear it... weird man. My phone doesn't ever do that, that I know of. I got a friend who can play about as well as you. I will see if he will let me record a clip to compare. Hopefully it is only hardware on your end.
hopefully its NOT hardware! hahaha i don't, wanna replace this thing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4aTQctjEm8&feature=youtu.be
there's the dog playing in the yard..it seems to be a noise that only occurs when clipping happens....but it takes little to NOTHING to clip the audio..i bet it's a noise cancellation issue
Well, if it is hardware then it is good because it isn't wide spread.

Do me a favor, play some loud music on a stereo and see if it does the same thing, that way I can try to re-create your problem on my end with the same method.
I just did a test of this, and mine makes audible clicking sounds whenever the camera is refocusing. You can test it on your device by getting a contrasting shot (use mine as an example) and then tapping the screen between the two points to make it refocus on the point you select.
http://youtu.be/gjmqDC9MLYc
sometimes when it refocuses, it doesn't make a noise at all (ideal). So maybe it's some software params making the lense try and adjust further than it can, or it might just be a camera problem..
eitherway, i don't take videos very often, so won't worry me too much.
That sign in the back gave me my laugh for the day!
that sign rocks hahahaha
but those aren't the same clicks i'm getting. i shall test with loud music playing and by pressing to auto focus...
CAN WE turn off auto focus on video? i know we can on pics, but howbout vidoe?

notice at 1:01 when i goto the subwoofer you can hear the squink noise destinctly..i wonder if low freqs are what make it squink?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Those clicks when the video starts while it's trying to focus on your laptop screen are the same as mine too.
I can't help but think the pop I hear at 1:01 is the exact same sound too...
Best test for the audio would be to lay the camera face down or something and hit record, and see what it gets.
Edit: on second thought, I think i'm hearing both types of clicks.
I wonder if the regular voice recorder has this problem too?
Edit2: sure does... i have a steady pattern of clicks on my voice recordings when recording my piano. they're like every ~2.5 seconds... and very predictable. especially on some of the youtube links posted earlier..

Maybe it's just a codec problem?
When i record as AAC_LC in the voice recorder I hear the digital blips.... not so much with AMR, but it's a less quality codec I think.
Edit 3: OP you should change the title of the thread so other forum members drill into it, i'm sure there's someone who knows what might be going on better than I do.
But from my vantage it sounds like a codec error. Hopefully resolved by an HTC update, or a future fix when we get perm root.
The video clicks during focusing I've researched a bit, and it may be related to how the software handles the camera functions, and could also be resolved with some updates... fingers crossed.
nice, good call. updated the title!
I have been unable to really root out the issue here with the camera lense making that noise as it tries to refocus... I'm assuming it's software controllable so some parameter in there somewhere would fix it. Guess we'll have to wait for root and a custom Rom!
anyway, I've tried some different camera apps, messing with the autofocus to see if it makes a difference, and they still all seem to make the auto-focus noise. I haven't found any market apps that do video recording however. Does anyone know of any?
I'll dig in the SDK a bit, but I bet the autofocus fuction is part of the ROM and not the software using the camera. In which case, different software won't make a difference. Just sounds like the lense is over-reacting while recording a video, causing the clicks in the video recording.
As for the blips, I'm definitely convinced it's a codec issue, since it also happens in the voice recorder which (I'm assuming) might be use the same codec as the built in video recorder app for the audio.
Case still open for now...
man, i'm having a hard time finding an app that does video, too. i downloaded the MIUI camera APK i found on here somewhere, but the video recording was like 1fps lol it was terrible, so i didn't even bother.

I read about the click/pop noise but I dont know if this is related. Mostly the audio track within the video recordings is quite good. But this weird noise I didnt hear really until Im recording whule my car is running. My cars exhaust isnt real loud but it does have more noise and bass than average.... Along with the engine pullies/powet ateering noise. But, what this plays back sounds all swishy and garbled... It sounds like extreme audio compression .. weird electronic noise.. like it totally deforms the sound of the engine. Idk what could be causing this. I also get this noise while recording in voice recorder usibg the AAC LC mode. Sometimes I will heR weird knock sounds ... That I KNOW my car did not make.
I just got this phone a couple weeks vack and I absolutely love it, coming from a Touch Pro 2 with a bad mic... This is the only thing that bugs me because it craps up the audio .. I have an audio sample that you can hear.. Just dont know where to put it.
Thanks in advance..
it encodes audio at 128kbps which is absolute garbage.. that's probably why

Look in the thread "audio recording click/pop". I posted a video in there.
Mods, can you delete this thread? Read what I wrote in the other thread for the reason. Sorry about that.... It was in another forum that I read about the pop/clik issue. Got them confused. Haven't been here in a long while
Hey.
Yesterday i was on this 'We love the 90's' live arrangement where Scooter, Culture Beat, Haddaway, Captain Jack, Dr Bombay and Daze was doing a live arrangement here i live in Ålesund.
Now, the video recording was in good quality for the most part, so i have nothing to say about that.
But what my question is, is if it's possible to lower the input volume of the microphone(s) on the Galaxy S II?
I'm using Android 4.0.3 though. Or i'm using SensatioN ROM v3.4, but it's a Samsung ROM anyways.
When the sound / noise gets a little high, the sound starts to cracks quite alot. And that will ofc make it bad to record a live arrangement.
I know we can change / edit the values to the bitrate on the recorded movies and the audio quality to in the 'media_profiles.xml' file that are under System/etc.
Shouldn't it be possible to reduce the input volume to the microphone to then?
Or isn't it any ways of doing this?
I also hope that i posted this on the right place.
Greetings from Tom-Helge.
EDIT: I was using LgCameraPro to record the movies and was setting it to record in mono because the sound would crack WAAAAY more if i had been recording the sound in Stereo.
EDIT 2: I'm uploading a little clip from the live arrangement to let you see what i'm talking about.
It's done in about 20 minutes.
EDIT 3: Here is the little video clip.
Bump before i'm off to work.
Anyone have any idea about this?
I had the same problem too ^^
same problem here, but it seems a known issue of s2
Still no ideas on this problem?
Think i have to give this topic a little bump again.
Rooted stock I9300XXLFB (international) version. The audio recording is very noisy. I tried several applications for video+audio recording and audio only recording but the noise is always there (EDIT: except of call recording where the noise is ok but overall recording quality is low, of course). Here are two examples taken with the stock Camera application (with the audio track taken out of the resulting mp4 using ffmpeg). I was hoping that the latest fix from radeonxt might help but it is perhaps even worse (more noise from the lower frequencies seem to appear) - the first one (before.aac) is before the fix, the other file is after applying the fix. Both of these were recorded at night in a completely quite room.
before.aac
after.aac
Is this a general S3 problem or is it something specific for my S3? Any sugggestion how to fix it?
I tried 2 other things.
Noise removal in audacity worked pretty well. Of course, this was a very simple spoken word example and it would probably not work well with eg quite background music but still it shows that the problem might simply be no noise reduction while recording audio.
Then I recorded a fake call (using Call Recorder) - and the noise is not present there. Of course, it is a much lower quality (8000Hz at 6.4 kbit vs 48000 Hz at 45/80 kbit) but still it shows that a software fix might be possible. However, strangely enough (at least for me), the noise is not even present if I turn off call noise reduction in the call advanced options:
mediafire.com/?5liar18ekjt5afm
(sorry for not providing a full link but it seems that suddenly I am not allowed to include links??? I get an error message that new users cannot post links - strangely, I was allowed to do that 10 hours ago)
Anyway, the only conclusion I can make is that is seems likely to me that a software fix is possible.
However, first I am wondering, can somebody confirm having the same levels of noise in audio/video recording? If the problem is in my device then I'd rather return it - I certainly want to use the S3 for recording videos from time to time and it is close to unusable for me at these noise levels...
Any input highly appreciated!

same problem as the S1. wait and hope that voodoo sound for s3 will be out soon...

If I knew this is a general S3 issue then I could just wait and hope voodoo for s3 is out soon indeed
However, so far I have not found anybody either confirming or denying the noise on his s3 (I do not personally know anybody else with S3), so I am wondering whether it is not a problem specific for my device...
If anybody with S3 could make some audio recording (eg using the Camera application) under similar conditions (just a few words in a quite environment) and compare the noise level or post the recording here, that would be a huge help... but any report (I think/I don't think I have the same problem) or comment would definitely help me too...
I have just found a few S3 video recordings on youtube that are significantly less noisy than mine, eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfsdxx7dK8k (even though he is complaining about audio, it is still much less noisy than what I get)
So I guess either there are different versions of S3 with different microphones/drivers or my microphones/drivers are not working properly. Anybody has an idea how could I find out what is the case?
Anybody? Any idea, suggestion, comment?
I decided to try Sony's answering machine feature. I recorded a greeting. When I played it back it sounded like I was talking through a towel or something. I called my girlfriend and she said I sounded fine, so I don't think it's a mic issue.
As a check I downloaded 2 different voice recorder apps and both record with the same muffled sound.
Could you guys try and let me know. I'm on the most recent firmware 17.1.A.2.55.

Some new info to report.....
I'm hoping a dev reads this and can shed some light.
People have been complaining in certain situations that they can't hear me on their end. Usually in noisy environments (on my side)
I downloaded "Easy Voice Recorder" in an effort to run some more testing. This particular voice recorder lets you override the phone's default for
1) noise suppression
2) echo cancellation
Turning off noise suppression makes a huge difference. Still sounds like **** compared to every other phone I've had in the last 5 years but it's improved greatly.
Thinking back, the times when people complained about the call quality on my end, I'm pretty sure my Z2 noise suppression is to blame.
Two things then:
Someone please download "Easy Voice Recorder" and test how a recording sounds. Then disable noise suppression in settings and test again.
Secondly, does any dev know of a way to alter the default noise suppression functionality?
Again, as I have divulged in several threads, I am unlocked, rooted and have lost my DRM keys. If this is not an issue for anyone else I'm wondering if it could have something to do with that...someone please take a minute and test this for me..Thanks.
Hi I got similar issues. Look at my thread, "Bad call Quality".
Hi guys.
My JSN-L22 received an update tonight. I'm now on emui 9.1.0.217
I went to record a game this morning and the internal audio record option is gone.
The tick that used to be there to click it is nowhere to be seen, there's only the mic icon.
If mic is on it records mic, if it's off it's completely muted.
I've recorded internal audio around the 29th of July so it definitely was this update...
WTF I'm pretty livid tbh. I loved that inbuilt feature!
But I don't see any news about it on the internet, so I wonder if it's only me?
Please tell me of some 3d party app that will let me do this again :/ Does Mobizen internal sound record even work on the 8x? :crying: Goes without saying I don't have root >_>
Internal audio record is not gone
It's not gone actually. You just have to make sure that the mic icon on the upper left hand side of the screen is turned off. The system should automatically record the game sound.
In fact, This update allow us to listen to the game sound while recording it. While in the previous versions, the game sound is muted when you're recording.
