Hi all,
after successfully upgrading my FP2 to Android 6.0.1 everything seems to be o.k. (and some even better as with 5.1 ) except the app āSoundrekorderā (german title). As already mentioned in this (closed) thread, there are no settings available for file type, storage folder etcā¦ The app shows a text āPress: 0-Mic 1-Rx 2-Tx-Rx ā¦ā which might refer to keyboard input, but the keyboard canāt be activated. In addition to the mentioned failures, the app stores records as .amr-files in the root folder of the phone instead of the provided folder āSoundRecorderā.
Who can add this to the bug tracker because I cannot find a way to do that?
This weekend, I also updated my Fairphone 2 to Android 6 and I found exactly the same issue.
Fortunately I have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse so I can select these menu items by pressing the appropriate digit key. For example 1 and 2 allow record a regular phone speech (they work only when the phone connection is already established. i.e. there is no event triggered catch mode), 3+ allow select a file format (the record button is then highlighted orange).
Because most users donāt have such a keyboard for their smartphones, it looks like a piece of forgotten source code when building the binary package for distribution via the Fairphone updater app.
When pressing the ādoneā button after a recording, the app closes unexpectedly. However, the recording is saved as .amr in the root folder of the internal sd card.
The only solution is for Fairphone to fix it. It has been on the official bug tracker for three months. FP has accepted it as bug and stated that they are ālooking into itā more than two months ago. They just donāt seem to care.
Me too. New FP2 and went to use the sound recorder for work and couldnāt change settings. All also closes unexpectedly after selecting ādiscardā after making a recording. Similar text to the screenshot above. How do we add weight to the bug tracker priority?
You should upvote the issue in the bugtracker. So far it has only two votes! Maybe (but only maybe) they will fix it if more people show that it is important to them. So far Fairphoneās position unfortunately seems to be (more or less) āwe donāt want to spend time fixing it, just install another sound recorder appā.
Which would be okay for me if we could get rid of this crippled thing then. But having two apps that sound almost the same and have very similar icons makes it difficult to find the good one when I need it.
