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 …

Yesterday i tried to record a video of a band playing loud live music. The audio of the recording was indeed of very bad quality and disappointing. I don’t know if it is a hardware issue. Hopefully it can be solved through an update.

I suspect it has to do with recording low frequencies. The sound completely distorts. I like to use my phone recording audio from my band rehearsals but the phone doesn’t work in this scenario. Might be a microphone issue.

In Eva Gouven posted a video message regarding the delay of some orders here: FP3: my order just got delayed by one month! from mid Sep. to mid Oct. to early Nov One issue she mentions is a minor audio issue. Maybe that is related?

It could be. I ordered mine from a retailer as I had lost my previous phone and couldn´t wait for the shipment from the website. The phones were obviously already shipped to the retailers before they spotted the problem with audio. Which means that anyone getting them from retailers during the time …

That is exactly how my recordings sound. :frowning_face:

Same issue with mine! It’s not Cannibal Corpse, Two other bands at a jazz festival sound the same… Do you guys also have issues with call quality? My parents keep complaining of scratching noises and very sensitive microphone when I call them. I’m guessing the two issues are related?

Hi again. Have you tried removing the bumper? When I did, the audio during calls seemed to improve.

Hey there, I noticed a slight audio-issue a few days ago, when I recorded a short video. Didn’t realy get to recheck, but might mention it anyways. When recording videos in landscape mode and holding your FP3 one-handed, you might cover the mic-hole (the one next to USB-C) with your palm. This mi…

Very low quality audio recordings
