Description

Using media.startRecord() sometimes fails in about 5 % of the cases.

When calling media.startRecord() the status bar turns red and the WebView moves down a few pixels but it immediately reverts to normal after a second. No additional errors are visible in the log. When calling media.stopRecord() the recorded file is empty.

This has happened to me both using a fresh install (first recording) or during continued application use.

The normal behavior does not turn the status bar red, media.stopRecord() produces a valid audio file that I can play back.

This error is especially problematic because the user only notices the issue after he has stopped recording.
