[Q] Poor video capturing quality - HTC One X+

Pfff i've been having issues since i bought the phone lol...
okay this is totally driving me crazy, i take much video's etc. with my phone but thats impossible when i got poor quality
the problem is that its locked to MMS quality and there is No other option available in the video quality in the camera app
also in 3rd party camera apps i have this same problem.
i have flashed the fix for 8MP camera and thats working great, along with 360 panorama.
any fixes for this? anyone having this issue also?
thanks in advance,
-ozi

Weird, few days ago I was recording full hd videos. If every camera app reports that you can record only low quality movies then something must be broken under the hood. You can start off with clearing Camera cache.
The best way is to recall since when can't you switch to bigger video resolutions.

Dunno, this happened after i flashed the 8MP fix (showed up 6mp), then i flashed a new Rom, (project speed) and it didnt go away :d
Sentapp?m my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Edit: seems like 3rd party apps can show 1080p but the problem is the sense camera app -.-
Can someone gimme the proper untouched camera app?

8MP Fix? Y'all idiots, those 3rd party camera apps shows only upto 6 MP By default cause it's their Bug, I use to used PerfectlyClear Camera app, had same issue I reported it and they fixed it.

What the hell are you talking? I'm using Perfectly Clear as well and latest versions shows I can use 5.1 MP.
3rd party camera apps can show up to 6 MP just because HTC made a bug. They messed up something in a system file... The explanation for this can be found in the same thread where the fix is. With a broken file, camera apps can't get all handled picture resolutions.

well that doesnt matter, i got this bug before i flashed the fix
its a htc bug, no need for flaming... also the htc camera app is not really related to the camera config thingy (as i read in the 8mp fix topic)
the problem is that i can ONLY record MMS in the stock htc app but 3rd party camera apps can record 1080p HD and also save them in 1080p HD
this cant be a hardware failure, nothing actually happened to the Phone, i was making 1080p videos all the time... atleast before it got messed up
after that i flashed the fix

Hi guys, any update about the video capture issue ?
I am facing the same problem since I've installed camera with photosphere (downloaded from Venom Hub). The only resolution possible is MMS(176 x 144) !
I guess that it has nothing to do with the 8MP fix as I did not flash it.

Hi,
The resolution problem can be fixed by flashig the "OTA 2.0.2 - 2.0.3 - dev-host" update.

The three video options Full HD (1920 x 1080), HD (1280 x 720) and MMS (176 x144) are back !!!

That's one of the solutions indeed, but I quit using viperx+, their tweaks cause instability and lag.
Any solution for a non viperx+ one?

[Q] 720- and 1080p Videocamera LAG - Need a fix.

I have noticed that, when filming in 720p and 1080p, that the video camera has a tendency to lag when panning to the side after it has focused --> After the camera focuses, and I turn the camera to the sides or up/down, it lags for a second, creating a chopping effect (lagging).
I have stock Gingerbread installed on it (it came on it when purchasing the phone), and have not updated to stock ICS yet.
Does anyone else have this, or have noticed this problem? I'd really like to solve this mystery as soon as possible.
Thank you,

Just a suggestion:
Have you already tried to install the S2 Camera update from Samsungs Apps?
This was an update for the camera firmware of the SGS2.
If you have already installed the update, this app will show it right after the installation.
Good luck !
I just updated Samsung Apps, and am now in the program.
I guess this is a known program then, since they have put out an update for the camera...
How do I find the S2 Camera Update?
Thank you for your reply,

you can google for the same r try with Sammobile.com
Lag as you described is not firmware related as I never had it, but you can try.
Also what you can do I'd you are using micro sdcard as storage, change it to internal and check.
Unless issue is frame rates, blur when panning.

Camera 4.2 video storage??

File this under Stupid Questions. But i've been using the 4.2 camera (with photosphere) since it was released and only just wanted to shoot video with it. I go about shooting a 9 minute clip and can't for the life of me find out where the video was stored. Is there a bug with this cam and videos? Or am i just missing the storage location completely? No clues in the settings of the camera. I'm at a loss as to where my video went. Could someone enlighten me?
/sdcard/dcim/camera but i dont think video is working. at least it doesnt for me. only get a file when shooting 1080 but it is messed up. 720 and 480 wont even save a file for me.
Guys, this is a known bug. 4.2 video cam does not work. A quick search would have gave you this answer.

video not working is a known bug but he was asking where the files are stored. i just added that extra info.

[Q] Better camera app?

I've been looking for a better camera app.
By "better", I am referring to faster/quality. Not instagram and other image manipulation nonsense.
I am also aware that we are limited by hardware, but still there must be something better.
Has anyone found a suitable contender?

Is there any way to improve the quality of the camera? It is almost useless. Rooting or something?

The best camera, IMHO, is LG Camera Pro.
Better Camera App
I am using super app LGcamera (there is free version too) and there is available to set these things:
video bitrate (default is 15MBps) i use 20MBps
audio quality is better (FULL HD VIDEO) 96kbps, mono, 48000HZ
you can change your save destination
take a photo while recording a movie
....and more
Hey guys
thanks for the opinion!
I've tried for a while jb+ and I enjoyed it more than the stock one (was faster and minimal UI). I did not enjoy however the way you change settings, it seemed awkward. Also the video recorder does no support 1080. Another thing was the lighting setting, auto mode was rubbish and I had to manually select lighting for each photo.
Starting today, I'll be trying LGcamera.
So far, I'm impressed. It really feels solid and works good.
Video supports 1080 and takes photos at 5MP(stock takes photos at 2MP, I believe)
Focus seems better to.
I'd like to ask you guys:
What settings to you use? (focus, photo mode, light)
Also for video
Thanks!
I'm a fan of the stock Nexus camera app and purchased Camera JB+....works for me.

Those options have terrible video framerates.
CameraJB+, LGCamera, Camera FV-5, give me bad framerates in video. I'm not sure if there's a fix or something but in darker areas like indoors, the exposure doesn't fix so the framerates dip into the single digits. The only thing I want is just timestamped filenames. Is there a modified Stock possibly?

Hey, I see what you mean and I think I can help you.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Get root access to your device (there're plenty of ways)
2. Unzip the attached archive and replace your device's media_profiles.xml with the one from the archive.
To do that, use Root Explorer app and go to /etc. Copy new media profiles and confirm the replacement. Then, don't forget to set the permissions of the new one to rw-r--r--.
3. Restart your device.
Now you have better sound quality in stock app (48000 kHz, 160 kbps) and you have better fps compatibility.
There're several apps for you to use:
a) For better quality and control, you can use FV-5 Cinema app. You should get fixed 30 fps under default settings.
b) As for LGCamera (the one with the older interface, version number around 5.4), you should set fps to 25 and you will get a stable 25 fps, regardless of the lighting.
c) However, if you are using the newer LGCamera (version 7), you'll have to go for a little trick:
Launch the app, and set the fps to 30. Now, go to Setting tab (the last one), select "Edit camera script" and add the following after the existing lines:
preview-fps-range=30000,30000
Now, restart LGCamera app, and you will have stable 30fps performance.
So, there're 3 options for you, choose whichever you like
P.S. I have P765 with the stock firmware from P760, version 20p.
Thanks but

That trick unfortunately didn't make a difference.. All third party apps are still agonizingly laggy. Thanks though, it was worth the shot.

[SEARCH] Camera app using wide and normal

Hi everyone,
I (ecological reason) bought a Fairphone 4.
It's really not what I expect from a phone so I am looking to update some apps.
The main issue I get is this one on Camera.
Fairphone 4 doesn't allow to record video from the wide angle camera... Yeah... WTF !!!
It seems to be described on the sepcs, but why ??? How a camera can be reduced to not recording video ?
My old LG G6 does it with wide camera.
Whatever, I tried to use other apps as Open Camera, HD Camera and others but I doesn't find a way to switch, even for picture mode, from the main camera to the wide one.
Do you have any idea of which app I may use ?
Thank you
buy that phone yesterday, have the same problem! By any chance, do you find some solution? Also i want to change from defalutOS to calyxos, but again - big issue inside camera.
