Long time lurker here but this is my first thread. I've only read one other thread about this issue on here, but there were absolutely no replies, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I've had Tmobile's Galaxy Note 3 since around the time it launched. Since day one, I've noticed that it has an annoying issue when recording video or audio alone. The audio will have horrible popping\crackling noises no matter how still the phone is held. This should obviously never happen with a high-end phone such as this. The issue is somewhat random, but it ALWAYS occurs and it seems to go away as the video recording app runs for a while. I always try to record a couple small clips first, then use it for the main video, but this is insanely annoying to do and isn't always practical (especially if you decide you want to record something very quickly out of the blue).

I'm actually still running JB 4.3, which is what the device shipped with at launch. I'm rooted and have everything set-up exactly how I want it. All my other apps work flawlessly, which is why I've been hesitant to upgrade (even though there are plenty of FW updates available, including Lollypop). I plan on flashing the stock version of Lollypop in the near future and then re-rooting the device. But this audio issue appears to be a hardware problem because it occurs regardless of the recording app I use. Has anyone found a way around this issue, or at least a workaround of some sort? I can't believe a phone this popular has such a horrible audio issue and none of the big reviews mentioned it at all. This leads me to believe not every device is affected, although a Google search does confirm I'm not alone.

I would appreciate any advice at all. Thanks.

When i try to record 4k video the phone turns off, but i found out when its connected to a charger it records nicely
and when i disconnect the charger(while recording)
The flash LED starts to blink slightly and the the phone turns off.
I Did a factory reset today, but before the factory reset the video would record to about 25 seconds and then turn off..
:confused:

Good day !!

when i record a video with mate 7 i have a problem with the sound if theres a loud sound , it stopped and sound awfull , any solution for this? or any other app may not have this problem ?

Heya everyone!

I have the C6903, which I use for video recording every once in a while... to get clearer sound, I also use the Sony STM10 stereo microphone.
However, after receiving the Lollipop update, about 2 -3 weeks back... The phone barely records any sound at all through the mic, and the sounds it does record... sound like quiet whispers at best :(

Does anybody have any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks everyone! :)

So it happened only twice and I own the device for 3 weeks. But it starts to worry me a bit. Did you experience a camera app crash while recording video and simultaneously taking photos ? I noticed that sometimes after taking few photos pressing the button one more time makes the app to crash. At first I thought that I pressed the back or recent apps button by accident, but the recorded movie is lost, so it seems like the camera app crashed. Did you experience something like that ? I was trying to replicate the issue, but it seems to work most of the time, but two times I got the crash, I can't recall I did something specific, for sure I started the camera app by pressing the Home button twice and then I was just recording a movie and taking photos at the same time, so very strange. Any ideas what to do to prevent it from happening ? I guess it will be fixed by software update, but I'm just curious how prevalent it is or maybe there is some nice Samsung-specific workaround ? (I'm Samsung newbie)
