Hi,
I have a Huawei Honor 5x phone with a simple camera called "Camera". It allows to attach a 10sec. voice notation to the picture you are taking. When you view picture using "Camera" app attached voice is also playing back. Attached voice will not play if picture is displayed on PC or other than "Camera" app. I wish it would. This app in not listed under User Apps. I assume, it came as a part of phone's system. Please help me to find an app with voice notation for my Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 6.0.1.
Thanks in advance.

Thinks in advance.

That camera app is part of the EMUI firmware that Huawei uses. I believe the camera voice memo feature was only on some of their devices. I have a Huawei Mate10, which was updated to Harmony OS from EMUI, and the camera on this doesn't have the camera voice memo feature. .

I suspect the voice memos weren't actually attached or embedded in the picture JPGs, and were stored as separate MP3s. And there's a database maintained by the EMUI camera and gallery apps, that handles the voice memo function. Which your PC and/or other devices that aren't Huawei won't be able to use.

You could try Huawei's HiSuite on the PC, and see if that can transfer and show the pics with the associated voice memos from the Honor phone.

I don't know if this will work or not. it's something I've never done.

As for a third-party camera app that does the same sort of feature on a Samsung device, I don't know of any.

The only time I've had a phone that did voice memos within the camera pictures was an Oppo phone, but I never used that feature.

Thanks for clarification that Camera is not a separate app. I used to use a HiSite but it stopped working with my Honor 5x telling that camera's software is too old- but there in no update available. One of the reason I'm moving to Samsung Galaxy S5 is removable battery, excellent display and in general, very good phone. I wish someone would come up with an app capable of voice memo recording. Thanks again.
