Hi, my FP3 seems unable to record audios properly (videos, voice messages, etc.). If there is any sound at all (which doesn´t happen often), it is ininteligible due to extreme audio noise, particularly if recorded outside. This problem is not the only one I am experiencing with the FP3 regarding …

ok, here is a test audio file to test the microphone with for reproducible results: https://github.com/CorvusCorax/android-audio-recorder/raw/fp3_tests/sounds/testsound/test_samples.ogg and here is the apk (debug build) https://github.com/CorvusCorax/android-audio-recorder/raw/fp3_tests/apks/audi…

And I added some tests with the Fairphone FP3 I have, using all working profiles. Test setup: I used the same audio file, playing back through a Bluetooth HiFi speaker aproximately 2m away from the fairphone and on a different piece of furniture. The test sample was played back at identical volume…

Do you think this is a problem that will be resolved via update or do I have to send my phone in (or sell it) in order to get rid of this ridiculous problem?

I think it can be resolved via update. The support is also aware of it, as they have gotten many reports by now. If Fairphone cannot fix it, I am pretty sure the community can, once rooting or installing LineageOS or similar becomes an option. But it might require patching some drivers. Worst cas…

Hello, any news on this topic? I also need the phone to record music while I play together with my group, but its useless! My previous very old 2014 Motorola MotoG 1 was OK. I see there are external microphones that can be used via the jack plug or usb-c. Anyone tried this? Would this be a workarou…

I tried an external microphone connected by jack (the Rode Smartlav+ ) and the result was the same: the filter is applied. My old Android 4.2 phone was OK also. I hope they solve it soon, I usually work in music and media (interviews) and I need this, it’s a tool for my work. Meanwhile, I record vi…

Very low quality audio recordings
