[Q] atrix camcorder problems - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello all I have a problem with my camcorder, i just rooted my atrix on gingerbread and unlocked it. when going through my apps I went into my camera app to discover that the resolution for my video only goes up to dvd and not HD 720p. Furthermore the only way to get into my camcorder settings is to click on the camera app, not the camcorder app and change it, otherwise if i hit the settings tab while in the camcorder app it will crash no matter how many times i restart. this also happen the first time i upgraded to gingerbread the official OTA version. i had to completely reset my device, i do not want to reset my device is there any way around this?

Try finding the D3 camera installer in the dev thread. I'm not sure if it works for stock gb but if it does it records in 1080

[Q] Why does my camcorder work now?

I'm using VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition v7.1.0 which is supposed "Not" to have camcoder functions. But it appears last night while showing a friend not only did I record a video but it actually automatically uploaded to my G+ account. (it was only about 4 seconds long but it worked )
Has anyone else using this rom been able to record videos?
VT has camera. I just moved off of 7.0.0 and it had camera. GB roms have cam afaik, although it sucks. HC roms do not.

How to fix "Cannot connect to camera"?

I have ba2tf installed and I like LGCamcorder since I like the higher audio bitrate at 320kbps. I can record 1 or maybe 2 videos but usually on the 3rd record it messes up and I can't connect to the camera to record another. It does the same thing on the built in camera. Any known fixes? Video recording is not stable on this device. I use the kernel and radio in my sig with minimal third party apps.
thanks
Flash a newer cm7 build and try the same test.

So, I just installed the latest 1.0 Morrisoft which is based on the latest nightly May-27th and I still have the issue. If I begin to record and stop after 10 seconds. Then try to record again, the frame is frozen and it will start record again but the frame is frozen. Then if I stop and exit from the app, I get the error "Cannot connect to camera". I was using the Reflex-like camera mod so I flashed the "default cm7 camera add-on" from neturino's add-on's to revert back. Still getting the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Maybe the Atrix camera can't take high audio bitrate. You could be pushing it.

It occurs only with the stock cm7 camera with no audio adjustment.
this problem seems starts when u flashed a non camera supporting roms, i have this too , i guessed
this topic must be seen by devs and mods, this is a rare and heavy problem
This happened to me on MIUI rom from th3bill, I have to open videocam illusion and then return to camera.

[Q] Issue with videos and camera app after updating to ICS 4.0.4

Figured I'd update from my ICS 4.0.3 fw to ICS 4.0.4. Recently did so but noticed when I try to watch videos (Youtube and other sources) I can only hear sound and a slight frame will come up every 30 seconds or so.
Also when using the Camera app to take pictures the screen is blank except for the app borders. Same with recording, I'd record a blank screen but when I finish and save the video, all I see is the screenshot of the video but when I try to play it, I can hear sound but no picture.
What is this madness! Please help, I've not only tried searching the site but also my trust sidekick... "The Google"...
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I rooted my phone after updating. I'm not sure if it was the root that caused the camera to break as well as video playback. I'm going to un-root and try again.
All the problems related to non 4.04 kernel.
Flash the ROM again and root using the other method.
Or
Flash the stock kernel back, it will be fixed

[Q] Video Recording Not Working

Hi I am running Helly Bean 4.1.2 on a Samsung Galaxy SII.
Everything works great, except that I cannot record any videos at all on the back camera. I've tried switching the mode to 480p and it records a blurry image only.
It does not even record on 720p and 1080p.
However, if I switch it to the front facing camera I will be able to record. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Hi thank you for your reply. I'm afraid that it still doesn't work.
I had the same problem when I flashed the new camera app from android 4.2. Then I just installed camera jb+ from the play store and that seem to work fine.

thanks it works!
Hi guys. Flashing a new camera is great but just so you know there is a way to make the old one work. The reason you get this issue is the remainer of some of your old kernels. One easy way to fix that is to reinstall rom clean and during the installation to perform system format from mounts and storage in recovery. Works like charm. Also clears out abunch of other old init.d related issues.
Good luck
Next time you guys install rom with full wipe do format system and you'll see the 4.1.2 camera records video in all formats

[Q] Poor video capturing quality

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37300331&postcount=4
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?
