Personally, I would never record a video without sound, no matter what just as I would never take a photo with any kind of special effects turned-on at the time of photo taking. So, bottom line, this little app seems pretty okay for many phones. Many apps that can control global mic gain require that the device be rooted… like this one… Most phones which have any kind of mic gain control are defaulted to “automatic gain control,” also known as “AGC.” Some phones which have AGC are stuck in it, and can’t have it turned-off so that mic gain may be manually controlled. This app to which you’ve referred us is that kind of app, though it’s just mic on/off, not mic gain control. …that is, unless the app is of the type that does global phone control.

Sadly, with many Android phontes, you can’t actually get to the mic’s gain control unless you’re in an app and when that’s the case, the gain is only controlled for that app, not the entire phone… That said, there are Android phones that have manually-adjustable mic gain control and with some of them, if you turn the gain all the way down, it’s basically the same as turning the mic off. Muting the mic for any other purpose should be built right into the Android OS what a pity it is that this sort of thing has to be done through an app. So this app’s not necessary on Samsung Galaxy family phones for muting during phone calls, at least.Īdditionally, most voice-only and/or voice-and-video chat programs have a mic mute (or put-on-hold-type) button built-in to the app. On most of the new Samsung brand Galaxy family phones, one may mute the mic during phone calls as part of the phone’s built-in dialer/telephony app. That said, it seems you’ve tested it and found that it mutes globally, which is very nice. This app bills itself as a mute-during-phone-calls app, not a mute-globally app. It is compatible with all Android systems from version 2.1 upwards and has a size of only 33 Kilobytes. May be a hit and miss depending on which Android device you are using. Several users reported that they had issues with the application and rated it rather low. The application worked exactly as advertised on my Moto G phone.
It is important to hit unmute and then exit when you are finished, as the mic will remain muted otherwise. If you use it during phone or video calls, you need to make sure that you don't forget to unmute it whenever you want to speak, and exit it when you do not need it anymore. I then played it back and there was no sound. I muted the microphone and recorded another video on Vine. Please note that I have only tested the feature using Vine. But if you place the icon of the Mute Mic app prominently, you will just have to tap once more for the functionality. The only downside here is that there is no widget for the operation that you can place in a prominent position to perform it faster.
