Simple question, I'm sure it's possible with some sort of hack or tweak in a setting. I have searched in both google and on this forum, and have seen ways it can be done with droid phones and such. Even if it can be changed to an hour or similar time would be great so it can be changed as need be.
Surely someone knows of a way...
30 minutes = 1 gig of ram memory (estimate)
That 30 minute "VIDEO" gets put towards the ram memory.
Then later when video recording is finished, it processes and gets stored as its file.
The video is not saved until hitting the record button again, or just hitting the 30 minute mark.
There is no way of changing this, unless they lower the video camera quality.
Personally i use my video recorder quite frequently. Nothing more than 20 min. I hook it up to my car dock and do lap times with it. It's very responsive and has great fps, also it does cancel a lot of useless noise.
I would suggest try to go on the market and look for video recording apps. Or even google some homebrew apps.

Hello everyone.
I can only record video for 10 minutes and then phone automatically stops recording.
10 minutes limit is on FHD (1920x1080) 60fps option, if i turn to FHD but 30fps there is 25 minutes, but it's still not enough.
My card is formated in exFat, so 4GB problem doesn't exist.
Does anybody can make mod to camera apk to bypass this limit?

Same problem I noticed here. I'm trying to record road trips and that time limit surely doesn't help at all!
I'm saddened to see not a single reply yet.
I assume using some different camera apps could override that limit. Haven't tried though so can't confirm. Although I actually want to use the stock camera and prefer it over any other camera app.
Hoping to find a solution for this...
Anyone know if there is a hack yet to get more than 5 minutes recording time while shooting 4K?

After recording 4K for five minutes, feel how hot your phone gets. Put your finger on the camera lens housing, the tell me you want to hack it to keep recording. The phone practically melts down after five minutes, you definitely don't want to record for longer.

Thanks for the reply. I have been shooting a few 5 minute 4K videos and my V10 it didn't get extremely hot. I just got it last week, so there isn't much else on it but stock apps. My Note 3, on the other hand could melt an igloo if I just turn the camera on. No shooting required.

Yeah it's a bummer that we only get 5 minutes of recording, but our phones are using a method of software encoding to shoot 4K, and this process really heats up the cpu. Professional cameras that shoot 4K have a dedicated hardware encoding chip, so they can record nonstop. Someday mobile phones will have a solution like that, but today is not that day.
10 minute limit solved (mostly)
I found this problem on a Samsung S7 Active with Qualcomm CPU (AT&T branded phone). Samsung may have put a 10 minute limit on video for 2 potential reasons:
1. The phone gets very toasty if it's over 10 minutes at 4k.
2. 11m 30s seems to be the 4GB limit for 4k video, which may be a limiting file size for certain storage.
I solved this, but still have the limitation that every 11.5 minutes or so the video stops and starts again after a couple of seconds (because it's reached the 4GB storage limit).That's OK for my purposes, but might not work for you.
To get this working I first installed two apps:
1. Open Camera
2. No Screen Off
Open Camera is an open source camera app that can be downloaded free from the Google Play Store. It allows for 4k video recording for as long as you have storage (I had it recording for 3 hours without a problem).
You will need to do a couple of tweaks in the Open Camera app to get 4k video recording working:
* Settings | Video Settings | Video Resolution. Make sure it's HD 1280x720.
* Settings | Video Settings | Maximum Duration of Video. Make sure it's "unlimited".
* Settings | Video Settings | Restart on maximum file size. Set to "yes"
* Settings | Video Settings | Force 4K UHD video. Set to "yes" (this is the critical setting that worked for me on this device but may not work for you).
If you want to record to a storage card, go to Settings | More camera controls... | Use Storage Access Frameworks and turn it on. You should be able to use it to select the SD card folder to store photos and videos to.
That got me recording 4K video, but the screen times out which stops video recording. The max time I can set the screen to stay on for is 10 minutes (not much use!). So I used the "No Screen Off" app. Installing that and tapping the icon forces the screen to stay on indefinitely.
I've coupled this phone with a damaged screen ($37 from eBay), with a 64GB micro SD card and a power bank to provide power for 3 hours to make myself a cool 4K camera for recording concerts. I can afford to have several capturing different parts of the choir / orchestra to edit in post processing.
2 days ago, or so, my screen mirroring was working well (yeah, it lags a lot, but we're talking about a Xperia M4). Today I had to study, the presentations that I needed to read were on the device, so I decided to use the screen mirroring and put some music to study...here starts the problem. When I opened the music app, it worked well for less than 2 seconds...then the phone got....damaged? I dunno. The thing is, if I open the music app, I get stuck on the screen mirroring (Yes, nor the screen mirroring, nor the phone can be turned off, just using the little button on the SD card slot). Also this will bug the phone completely, making it act like it had around 10mb free ram (And it has 40% free ram, so, it's just the phone acting weird). CPU usage is also normal, half of the cores arround 300-900mhz, half arround 1000mhz. Help me please, what can be doing this? I thought it was an app that changes navbar color, but I uninstalled it and the problem remains. Also the music app is factory restored. Oh, and in case you're wondering, the phone is NOT rooted.
Also, if you could help me remove the album app, it'd be great (I want to replace it with the Jellybean model, since I use MX player, also, Jellybean's version is way more beautiful and clean).
Nevermind.

So, while I was writing this message and searching for solutions on the web, I left the phone, mirroring its screen and DOING NOTHING, and PHONE DISCONNECTED showed on the TV. Then I discovered that it was due to a senseless reboot on the phone... And it fixed it! Actually, screen mirroring works better than never.
I'm very sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum or if this has already been asked. I did search but couldn't find anything.
What exactly limits the super slow motion to 0.2 seconds or whatever it is? Would it be possible to increase that to something higher?
If it was a matter of storage then I'd be more than happy to get a huge sd card for my phone but I suspect it might be limited by the ram capacity.
Any help would be great.
I completely agree with this. I also hate that you have to do it within a normal video. How about just slow mo? Press record. You're recording in slow mo. Press stop. It stops.

You can cut the video after recording.
@Ddave73
Th limit is the DRAM that is a layer right underneath the image sensor.
Longer recordings with 960 fps are not possible.
Unlimited Recording is possible with normal SlowMo with 240fps in FULL HD
30 second advertising games force users to suffer through. No possible way to multitask away from that video's focus. There has to be an always on top solution. Resizeable and/or transparent windowed playback would be my guess to circumvent this time sink.
developers out there that could help explain how games know when you multitask away from a timed ad? Possibly create a toggleable setting or app. Once enabled or ran it prevents games from pausing ad videos when you multitask away from their 30 seconds worth of purgatory.
I got the idea when i was playing a game and looking out for the pizza delivery tonight. Screenshot better explains my epiphany.
