I have been working on a call recorder app which is working fine on MEDIATEK(XOLO, Micromax etc) phones and Sony Xperia SP.
But Samsung is giving me nightmares. I have tried two samsung phones specifically Galaxy Tab2 and one I don't remember name of(let me know if you want to know).
Can anyone tell what settings are needed for Samsung. I have used these:
mRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mRecorder.setAudioSource(AudioSource.VOICE_COMMUNICATION);
mRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
mRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.DEFAULT);
mRecorder.setOutputFile(outputFile);
I have tried almost all the combinations of every audio source VOICE_COMMUNICATION, VOICE_CALL, DEFAULT, MIC etc with every audio format and every audio encoder namely 3gpp, mp4, AMR_NB, AMR_WB etc.
I have read many forums regarding this problem but most of them are either unsatisfactory or too old to consider.

on Android device there are at least two options for geolocation:
GPS Satellites
WiFi & Mobile network location
if #1is checked then LocationManager.getCurrentLocationSync gets a proper location but what if only #2 is checked? On my device I simply get LocationManager.OUT_OF_SERVICE and thats it...
If I use LocationManager.getCurrentLocation when #1==false && #2==true I get null...
How can I read devices location based on WiFi & Mobile network location if GPS is turned off? ( or we are not outdoors for example )
As discussed here (3rd paragraph): http://www.codenameone.com/blog/easy-demos-flip-more.html
You can just define the build hint: android.includeGPlayServices=true
Which will implicitly switch the location API to use the Google Play Services hybrid location. This will use the GPS when available, but also many other sensor elements to produce a more accurate and battery efficient location.
We received a complaint that some visitors to our website are dialing the wrong number to get in contact with us.
Our website has a hyperlink in the following form in the footer:
Call us at 12345678
Note that the "+47" (international code) is NOT displayed visually, it is only included in the hyperlink. But now it turns out a limited number of people (circa one a day) is actually calling a private local number at 47123456. Not many considering the size of our business, but still a major nuisance for the family receiving these calls.
The people calling say they just pressed the link to dial.
Has anybody else had these problems? Is anybody aware of mobile phones that do not properly support the tel hyperlink? Any suggestions for a solution? (Apart from changing our or their phone number, of course.)
There are different ways smart phones pick a telephone number.
some are reading the text of your website - some use the tag
on my first try: I would add the +47 to the displayed telephone number
on my second try (or both together): I would replace +47 with 0047 (its norway - or?)
and before posting i got a third idea: which encoding has the webserver and which encoding has the html / PHP page in sourcecode? Both UTF-8 or something else?
Maybe your server is sending it in a different way than the website is created and somehow some smartphones can't handle it correctly.
The problem here is pretty simple: this is the URL-Encoding.
The + char is an reserved character within the URL and represents an space.
To get an actual + sign replace it with the URL encoded version: %2B

I have done a 1 hour and 36 min long movie on my weeding and it's made of around 80 "clips", where in some places the original sound is used and in some places external sound is placed instead. In some places iMovie text boxes is used and in some places the video has filters and slow motion (so a lot of random filters, effects, etc and chapters).
So my problem? When I export is, regardless if its to iDVD, iTunes, MOV HD720 or 1080, and regardless if its "finilized" first or not, or if its shared to "media library", the transitions is not working (un sync) and the sound is fading out to 0% during all the transitions before up to the original level. This in the final film.
When in the "project view" looking and listening, everything is just perfect. As soon as I finilize the project, or export it, it doenst work (not even in the project preview after export). I also tested to install miDVD pro (10$) and WonderShare DVD Creator (39$) to just sharing the project to them, but the result was the same.
I have macbook 13, moutain lion, iMovie 11, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
The reason may be caused by using free trial version. You can try the fullversion of miDVD pro (10$) and WonderShare DVD Creator (39$), if it doesn't work, you can ask for refund.
I am using GPUImage framework to record multiple videos one after other in close intervals with having various filters enabled in real time using GPUImageVideoCamera and GPUImageMovieWriter.
When I record the video, video starts with a jerk(freeze for half a seconds) and ends with a jerk also. I know the reason behind this are the statements in which I pass the movieWriter object to VideoCamera's audioEncodingtarget.
So In my case when I record multiple videos one after other(with different objects of GPUImageMovieWriter), the video preview view freezes at start and end of each recording.
If I remove the audio encoding target statement, conditions improves significantly but of course I don't get the audio.
Currently I am using a AVAudioRecorder while recording to save audio tracks but I believe this is not a ideal work around.
Is there any way to solve this problem.
-- I looked at the RosyWriter example by Apple, their app work almost similarly but smoothly at almost constant 30 fps. I tried to use the RosyWriter code(after removing the code that add purple effect) to save the required videos while showing GPUImageVideoCamera's filtered view to user but in vain. When applied unmodified rosywriter code just records two videos and rest video fails. I also tried to pass in the rosywriter code the capture session from GPUImageVideoCamera but only gets videos with black frames and no audio.
Please help on how can I can record GPUImage filtered videos with audio without this jerkiness. Thanks in advance
I faced the same issue and here is my workaround.
As you pointed out, this problem happened because setAudioEncodingTarget method internally calls addAudioInputsAndOutputs to set audio in/output to the capture session.
To avoid this issue, I created justSetAudioEncodingTarget method for VideoCamera as below,
(on GPUImageVideoCamera.m)
// just set
-(void)justSetAudioEncodingTarget:(GPUImageMovieWriter*)newValue {
if( newValue == nil ) {
return;
}
addedAudioInputsDueToEncodingTarget = YES;
[super setAudioEncodingTarget:newValue];
}
The following steps is my scenario and I checked out it smoothly worked.
Called VideoCamera's addAudioInputsAndOutputs after the VideoCamera was created.
This is not right before starting the recording. :)
Set MovieWriter to the VideoCamera by justSetAudioEncodingTarget that I made above.
Is a wave limited to the sharing of textual information (HTML), or am I correct in assuming that a wave can contain arbitrary data (represented in XML), so long as it also contains the javascript necessary to render it in a meaningful way?
I ask because the collaborative document preparation demonstrated in the Google I/O video looks very powerful, but there are many other types of documents than simple rtf text. In my case I would be looking interactively to develop gantt charts.
There is a lot that can be done inside each Wave. They have not yet made all features available, but here is a link to some samples: http://wave-samples-gallery.appspot.com/ which includes my Slashdot Gadget:http://wave-samples-gallery.appspot.com/about_app?app_id=18006
The Slashdot Gadget actually takes the RSS feed for Slashdot and displays the latest headlines.
Here is the XML: http://www.m1cr0sux0r.com/slashdot.xml

I got access to Google Wave a few days ago, and here's what the raw data for their Sokoban game (which supports two players playing simultaneously on the same board) looks like, for example:
<blip>
<p _t="title">
</p>
<p>
<w:gadget author="blixt#wavesandbox.com" prefs="" state="" title="" url="http://sokoban-server.appspot.com/com.example.simplegadget.client.SokobanGadget.gadget.xml">
<w:pref name="playerAllocation" value="1 1,blixt">
</w:pref>
<w:pref name="totalMoves" value="8">
</w:pref>
<w:pref name="playerPositions" value="1 4,2">

<w:pref name="rockPositions" value="6 2,2 3,2 14,2 15,2 16,2 4,3">
</w:pref>

So yes, you can store any data you like in a single blip, with the possibility to go backwards in "time" to see older versions of the data etc.
By the way, if you're interested in seeing some code for a robot that sits in a wave and interacts with users, I made one for a game I'm developing: Google Code Project for multifarce (and the game in question, it's not really public yet and as such not particularly functional.) The bot source is here: multifarce Wave robot source
Basically, all you need to get a bot running are the 14 last lines in that code. I love it! =)
