I have also connected a 3.5mm headset which has both speakers and microphone. Anyway, I also have this clicking noise, so that is also not perfect. I don't know where this problem comes from and what does noise filtering under Android. I would think it should not be placed in low-level driver but it may happen it is a 3rd-party thing... however, it is very annoying. Practically the inability to record a video as one would expect from any phones is a really big fault from day 1.

Right, recording music has a result of really bad sound and also I have experienced the same using basically any casual video recordings - sound is practically unusable, the worst I have ever heard on any phones for sound recording. 😄 I have also tried it and although selecting "unprocessed input" worked for me using my Moto G6 phone, it seemed worth nothing on my Pro1. Anyway, currently OpenCamera can't even record any videos even on SDCard or local storage, always an empty video file is created. I don't know if it has something to do with Android 11 or I have something

I'm most irritated that some emulators (Citra, RetroArch) I can no longer find my roms... RetroArch was solved by using DIG frontend - but I simply can't use Citra at the moment.

The Pro1 seems to do quite aggressive background suppression when recording from the built-in ADCs, no matter what specific audio source is selected. For normal voice recording, this actually works quite well for me. But I do believe this is what prevents you guys from recording music with the built-in mics: Depending on the tone and loudness of a particular part of the track, the filter takes the music for background noise and suppresses it. In fact, I think I can produce these artifacts even when I try to record myself singing (though normal speech works well). And, no, I will not uploa

Right, it is much better than having to use a heat gun to remove the whole display together with the risk of breaking it. So Pro1 can be disassembled in a proper way as opposite to other phones just glued together... however, I would not call it an easy replacement but definitively it is a proper assembling.

Bummer, you're right. I was actually recording music coming from my living room stereo, but I must have been playing it louder when I recorded with FiLMiC. Tried again now with lower volume and it indeed becomes just as bad as with the recorder app. 🙁

Yesterday I have checked it before I wrote here using the same software (FiLMiC Pro) and it has the very same problem. You may not notice it when you simply try to record your speech, but yesterday I have turned on a pocket radio (which has decent sound quality) and it has produced the very same ugly sound filtering. So, unfortunately it does not help. I have also tried to record the same radio station (music) using a sound recorder which I thought it can record well and it had the very same problem. I hate Android translates also application names (not speaking about the hidden

Also a similar 'day 1' bug which also exists under stock ad LineageOS is the wrong speaker is selected in hands free mode, so the speaker close to the microphone (only a few centimetres away) produces sound which makes the whole thing (hands free mode) even worse.

Indeed, and it sounds similar to what you get using it for calls hands free. If you talk loud and clear as you would at a (physical) meeting, it works fine. But if you talk in a normal voice, the other end complains that they can not hear what you are saying.... It has -unfortunatly- been a known issue since 'day 1' on stock, and I have long given up hoping for a fix and use it with a headset, as I seldom do voice calls. I fear this 'filter' is deep down, either hardware or software in the driver, as I assume they would have fixed it quickly if it was in software they could ac

Sound recording quality is a shame. It was the same for me under stock and also under LineageOS. I thought I have found a sound recorder application which is much better and it is for speech recording but now I have turned on a radio and it has also produced the very same, crappy sound as in your message. Edit: It sounds like an aggressive noise filter which should not be applied on standard recordings.

That looks correct. Here is a current link onAlieExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32956500815.html

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_fxtec_pro1/+/315360 - this was merged - we missed one conversion from 44 -> 2c, the value mismatch caused the powerhal to crash. Issue is remediated.

Had not tried that. I confirm that recording from my 3.5-mm-jack headset does not have the background-filtering problem. However, recordings done that way have a low-volume (but clearly audible) "klicking" background (~2 Hz). Attached is a sample of that. Does not happen with the built-in mic (where it is probably suppressed by the filter). So, indeed it is better, but (for me) no ideal solution either. 2021-09-09 23.27.25.wav

What about the camera modules? I have asked Fxtec to get a warranty replacement for my camera module (due to focus issue), but I don't feel very confident on getting that module very soon. So I wonder if I could source a replacement module on my own. edit: looks like the Pro1 camera module (IMX363) is not available on Aliexpress. The Pro1-X module (IMX586) is there at least. I couldn't find the IMX363 from Google either, so looks like it is already too old technology? Also I am not sure if it is the actual camera module which needs replacement, or is it the smaller, assisting modul
