Distortion when recording loud audio

Hi I was excited to receive my new nexus 4 and absolutely love the device which I've had for a couple of days now. My only bug bear and it would have been a deal breaker had I known at time or purchase, is the terrible distortion when recording loud audio at a concert for example. I've also read up that it could be something to do with the high gain on the mic and not a hardware issue.

It's such a shame because I've got a green room full of iPhone users at work and really wanted to show off my new device, so went out into the auditorium to record some footage brought it back and it farted like no ones business on playback, quite embarrassing really as I'd just bigged up the device and balked at there ?500+ handsets.

Does anyone know of any forthcoming updates and if this fix (if possible) will happen??

I found this thread elsewhere, cheers
