Anyone else having a nightmare of a time with video recording? Compared to my original one x it's very choppy and loads of picture noise. Very very disappointed. Think I might sell it. I don't find anything else, apart from jellybean, worth the upgrade to be honest.

Hmmm i thought they might actually have tweaked the camera at least on the software side of things to make it better than one x but this turns out to be just the opposite ! Anyhow thanks because these days only real user opinions can be trusted not those reviewers !
I don't know what's going on, my HOX+ records very well... I have to guess if
1) users do something very wrong
2) there are some faulty devices out there
3) the want to troll the HOX+
Don't forget it's a smartphone and no DSLR, so you will need enough light for pics, but that's the same with all similar decives with this small sensors out there...
Mine is very very fast, get's warm but never in any way hot, battery life is great and recording of stills and video is excellent compared with other smartphones...

I love my one x camera. Stills and video are great. The one x+ stills are not quite as good but I can live with it. It's not bad by any means but the video recording is very poor. Can't live with it like this. Going to do a factory reset and see if that helps. If not I'm going to try and exchange it. I'm thinking I might have a faulty device.

Maybe a third party video recording app can fix this?
Any suggestions for 3rd party apps?
I shouldn't have to rely on them but it's worth a shot.

You might want to try this one.
Thanks. Will check it out. And report back.

Just checked the app you suggested. It's definitely better. Love the fact you can alter the bitrate. It seems to solve the blockiness and noise. Although im only checking on my phone as I'm not at home to try it in my tv. Unfortunately the chopiness is still there. Most annoying. Will have to check more when I'm home. You guys who are having no problems, what are you comparing the video recordings too? Which phones?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Just an update.
I've exchanged the phone for a new one and the stock video camera is still definitely far inferior to the original one x. Not sure if it's just a software problem but I assume it is. Can anyone else with both phones confirm this to save my sanity please.

Almost guaranteed to be a software issue. HTC just looooooves to compress the living hell out of everything without giving an option to remove compression.
Thanks. Try and compare on a tv if possible

I have the same problem with poor choppy video. I did a side by side comparison with the original HOX and the video is much better than the HOX+.
Anyone else having disappointing video recording on the one x+?
And also has anybody got any 3rd party camcorder apps to recommend? I'm using LG cam at the minute but it seems a bit buggy.

Agreed...mine is terrible too. Most certainly the software. Trying Procapture, as the app listed earlier in this thread just crashes when I click on the advanced options.

Thank god I'm not going crazy. Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I'm a bit worried that not enough people have noticed this to bring it to HTC,s attention.
Hope they fix it soon or I might just keep my one x and sell this.
Shame because I love everything else about the phone.

The biggest selling point so far would be the camera quality.. if the camera is important to you, the amaze is the phone for you. Besides the phone being quite snappy(I'm coming from a Samsung galaxy s), and some other notable perks.. the camera really is high quality. It focuses faster, captures much higher quality than my last 5mp phone did.. and the phone overall does everything you could expect a phone to do.
I am happy with the amaze. I'm not a heavy user, and if you are I would say buy a spare battery.. but otherwise I would say this is a great device to upgrade to. I did a fair amount of research, and I would say this phone is a big upgrade from any other phone tmobile has to offer. Buy it, there is no good reason I can find not to.
Not the best picture in the world, but here is an example of the quality you can get with the built in panoramic pictures.. normal and hdr are even better, but for the quality of panoramic pictures from stock app to be this good.. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/IMAG0008.jpg

Third the camera post the camera is amazing I miss my amaze's camera I have a galaxy s 2 now and its nowhere near as good as the amaze. in low light you might as well have a VGA camera with this gs2 the amaze really performed well. The battery life was great on my part coming from the sensation it was better I think people expect too much out of large touchscreen devices when it comes to battery life.

I agree.. with juice defender I got 21 hours out of the battery yesterday. Having it only allow data every 15 minutes with screen off and 4g with screen on didn't inconvenience me at all.. today I'm going to see how long it lasts without juice defender.. and I just got my spare batteries so it doesn't really matter anymore anyways.
Overall, I'm very happy with this phone.

I heard on a video a girl saying the still pictures got better quality in the dark with the sgs ii lol, it made no sense to me but she seemed pretty convinced xD
Don't forget the audio quality, music quality to be specific! Headphones with either SRS or EQ enabled is top quality for any phone. I'm using my Nexus for now, still have my Amaze and I can say music and camera apps for the Amaze make great purchase points!

Actually, I agree. The quality of the audio is noticeably better than my old phone. Another big perk, listening to poweramp on this phone doesn't seem to kill battery like it used to on my vibrant.. very impressed.

I never saw a good description of what is different about fauxes kernel, or if the ones included with roms are stock.. I know fauxes allows oc, but I haven't been interested enough to look into it more than that. If I get better battery maybe I'll give it a go, though I'm pretty happy thus far.

Not true, copy the battery stats file before flashing, flash, put back old file.. problem solved. Any rom can include a script that does this as part of the flashing of the rom, but still easy enough to do yourself.

It also under volts AKA saves power consumption at times when phone is not being used or just tweaked to consume less even in use.

Only downside is the flash bleeds into night pictures. Have to tape it.

Stick to the main thread bro as were alp in the same boat. Of anyone can help anyone, trust me the fix will be everywhere, lol!
Yes, this is issue about HFP - phone audio quality is all over. On top for A2DP, the distance range is super bad!!
For me the phone quality seem really bad, and I will looking to return it if my 2yr (lock) can be reverted. There is no phone I consider trading from my original Atrix 4G.
My last phone was a HD2. Great phone (Windows).
New One X+. Great phone, but I'm new to Android. All OK (great), but why no date/time stamp on camera? This is a problem. Just a general moan about something so basic I never thought to ask. My mistake.

Try the extreme camera mod, adds the ability to stamp date/location on the image and improves still and video quality locked at 30fps even in lowlight.
I should have said, I have had a all HTC (XDA) phones since my venerable SE T610: I'm not fickle, but need date/time stamp on photos - not an alternative App. Android please note.

I'm not quite following. Are you looking to print the timestamp on the photo itself? Otherwise, the data is always saved with the photo. If you have the stock camera and gallery (4.2, at least. I cannot remember the others), you can view it if you wish hitting menu -> details. If you upload it to an image site, then the data should also appear. Again, if you wanted it displayed on the photo itself, I do not understand why but can tell you that, yes, Android cannot do that by itself. But the purpose of apps is to expand the functionality and features regardless, so your refusal to use another app (that the user describes as possibly more useful) is a bit confusing.
I mostly shared that just because you seemed to be talking to the Android system, and I used the stock apps as an example. I do not know if HTC's camera and gallery made unnecessary changes.

HTCcamera JB plus Extreme v5.1 is a mod not alternative app, it added various and great features to your native HTC camera and one of them is the date/time stamp.
But the disadvantage of this mod is that you must have a rooted phone to flashed it.

A quick thanks is always greatly appreciated!
Thanks for all the comments and advice.
I want to print the date and time on photographs produced by the Android camera. There are features that camera has that I want to use. My phone (HTC One X+) is not rooted. It is standard O2 issue. I know that some apps can do this but the resolution of the pictures are reduced.

I've seen a couple of threads here and there in regards to multitasking, however the responses are all over the place. Before I actually go and return my S4 for a One, I would like to know how well multitasking works. Are apps still constantly refreshing? Some say that HTC has still implemented their aggressive memory management functions into the software (not as bad as the One X though) and some report that it works perfectly well. The phone seems amazing and all, but if it can't multitask then it is an absolute deal breaker for me. Same reason why I returned my One X at the time. Anyone who has had the device for some time care to shed some light?

The apps I multitask with have been doing fine. The HTC One X was very aggressive but it is noticeably lighter on the One.
OCD kicked in and I actually went purchased one for retail price. If anyone was still wondering, it seems that apps are still refreshing, but not too aggressively. I need to test it for a day or two to see how it fares with the S4 when running games and so on. On the other hand..my God are the speakers amazing..

Hey everyone, I currently have a S4 and I'm about 85% sure that I'm going to exchange it today for a HTC One. My question to you all is do any of you know of an app that utilizes both the front and back cam like you can with the S4?
That's one of the main features I like of the S4...
HTC 3D has an mirror app, but that S4 app sounds better
s4 has a better app desigh for this function
No. I wish it had the multitasking feature where you can run two apps at the same time. But it is what it is. I actually am leaning towards getting the Google Edition of the GS4 so I don't have to deal with all the bloat and bs. Waiting half a year for my carrier to push my updates and bug fixes out.

Considering both the s4 and the HTC one have the same cpu it should not be impossible for a third party app. Think of the ability to have a video callwith both cameras enabled, it would be a battery juicer, but nice none the less

What would be the use to having both cameras operating at the same time? Just wondering.. i cant think of anything.. even video calls dont make much sense to me, how would both cams benefit a video call? You want the person on the other end to see you and what is in front of you? Not trolling, just inquiring..
It's actually a nice feature..it's on the S4 and I used it a lot ...especially with my kids.
