camcorder file size or time limit - Motorola Photon 4G

I am trying to replace my flip with my photon, but I am running into an issue where the stock camcorder stops recording at 23:07 with a file size of 1.89 GB (2,040,108,503 bytes). This is annoying when I am trying to record 45 min lectures.
I do not have encryption turned on and have my 32GB sdcard formatted to fat32. If I use lgcamera from the market I do not run into this issue, but I prefer the stock camcorder UI.
If someone has a free 23:08 min/sec and 1.9GB can you record some 720p and let me know if this is expected behavior or if I need to tweak some setting somewhere
thanks.

make sjre your camera is set to use the external sd card

Its set to the external sdcard, but the behaviour is the same regardless of if I set it for internal or external storage.

Record two different clips or shorter lectures lol

I read somewhere awhile ago, don't have the source anymore. The article basically said the issue is with the sd-card. If I remembered correctly, just reformat the card in your phone, something was off if you did it on computer.

Sprint Music Problems?

This is the second time this has happened. The Sprint Music app appears to be damaged. It doesn't recognize much of the music that is on my card. Is there any way to fix it without a hard reset? (not sure why I care! I mostly use Kinoma).
yeah sprint music sucks....my songs only plays the first 30-40 sec and then it will stop if i got 4gb or more...i just removed it from tf3d and i use s2p
I think I fixed it. For some unknown reason, my TP had a folder named Storage Card and was calling my card Storage Card2. There wasn't anything in the Storage Card folder so I deleted it and reanamed Storage Card 2 to Storage Card. Now it finds the music. I guess it only looks in a folder called Storage Card and ignored Storage Card2. Unfortunately you can't tell Sprint Music where the music files are. They should fix that. At any rate, I don't use it much, anyway. I just wanted it work right. Now if we could get the GPS right, the battery life better, etc., etc.

[Q] External Memory Card

Got the phone on launch and enjoying it so far but 1 major problem is the external memory card file-system: FAT32.
Now the phone can handle MKV file extensions but a good majority of files are larger than 4GB and FAT32 cannot handle anything of that size. Does anyone know how this can be remedied without hacking the phone? I really dont want to mess around with the kernel as I did with HTC Desire & Samsung Galaxy S and long term suffered from no updates.
So far I have formatted the memory card via Ubuntu to ext4 but the phone will always prompt to format when I go into the card. If I ignore this I can see my files BUT again I cant for some bizarre reason transfer large files into the phone. Remember the applications to connect to the phone are New Pc Studio & Keis are Windows based so they will not recognize the external card due to the linux filesystem.
The only way I can get files into the phone is via Keis Air but transferring files via WIFI larger than 4GB always breaks.
Its madness for Samsung to be able to play MKV files but not be able to format the external memory card to a filesystem that can handle the damn filesize!
Have you tried pushing the files via adb?

sorry
but i don't think android can play videos sized more than 4gb!
i think it is because of the system
I think Kies chops the video up automatically when you use it to transfer anything over 4GB to the SD card/External SD card (Fat32). Give it a try?
Use handbrake for movies. I had a ton of 1080p movies I shrunk and file size was cut in half with no loss of quality.

How can I bypass the 4gb limit on filesizes for HD Recording?

I have a 32GB micro SDHC card which in my phone. Theoretically, this should allow me to record 5 hrs of 1080p HD video OR 7hrs+ of 720p HD video.
I tested this earlier today by setting the camera to record and walking away. However, after the filesize of the video reached 4GB, the recording stopped.
I'm aware of the FAT32 filesize restrictions and I'm sure this is why the file recording stopped at 4GB, but, I'm curious if there is anyway I can bypass this limit by reformating my SD External card to another filesystem.
If I format the card to EXT2/3/4, will the phone still read & write to it? How do I do this most effectively?
Thanks!
Search question has been asked multiple times before and may even have an answer.

What's the fix for this? I have researched a lot and can't find the solution.
Format to NTFS and use those modules

[Q] Any way to increase video record time limit?

I've noticed that video stops record around 15 minutes into a record on 1080p and 30 mins in on 720p. Seems there is around a 2 gig file size limit. Is there any way to shoot until memory card is full and/or save to micro SD card? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running aokp build 38.
There is no such thing. I was recording 1080p video for 1 hour straight without problems.

What file system did you use to format your sd card? Try using NTFS and see if the larger file size makes a difference.

There doesn't seem to be an option to save video to SD Card, it is formatted in NTFS
Isn't there some issue in certain countries that if it can record video for a more than some legislated time, then it's a video camera subject to special import taxes? Just remembering something I read.
Bye.
I can save file to internal SD that are larger that 2gb, so the memory isn't the issue. I found an app that save to MicroSD and still stops at 2gb. I may go back to stock then if I can't find a work around.
I've tried multiple roms , even stock from androwook, but the issue won't go away. Kind of out of ideas....

Can you confirm that the video file size you recorded was over 2gb? That seems to be my limitation and a android limitation in general, according to what I've searched on the web.
any new ??? i want to know if there is any way to recorder more than 60 minutes....
2 gb limitation screams of fat 32 file system or compliance.
Are you able to copy a file larger than 2 gb over to the same folder from your computer with the USB cord?
I recorder if minimun quality, the file size is about 400mb and its only recorded 60 minutes.....
Anyone solved the issue? I have the same problem. I tried to record a looong video. It stopped at 35:40 and the file size was 1,99 GB, so I think I have the 2 GB limit. I've got Galaxy Nexus with stock 4.2.2 yakju. It's a version without removable sd card.
Help?

Music player not setting music on external SD

I just realized that my music player is not picking up on the music files I have on my external SD. I have them under the folder "Music" on the SD card's root. I copied songs over to the phone's internal memory - aka internal SD's "Music" folder, and the stock music player was able to see them. I'd like to keep the music on the SD card - is this not possible?
It is totally possible... I use WinAmp (primarily) and have about 500 sings on my SD Card in the Music folder and no music at all on the internal storage, it works fine, the stock player and Google Music see them as well.
Try going into Settings-Apps-<player your using> and Force Stop, then Clear Data, then launch the player again... remember if you have a lot of music it might take the app a while to load and index everything.

Well that's good to hear. But I just tried it and no luck. It's not even indexing or searching. I am using the default music player and it starts up like there's an empty card. I am actually now on newtoroot's one XxX rom, and the default player is doing the same as stock Google music also behaves the same.
I've tried unmount/remounting the sd card, no luck.
Not sure if this matters, but this SD card is a carryover from my Thunderbolt. So it has a lot of apk backups and other crap. Also, I noticed that I actually lost my video file collection on the SD card somewhere along the process. I am not exactly sure, but I think it's when I first moved it to the Rezound, because now that I think about it, I don't ever recall seeing the couple episodes of Futurama I keep on my SD card.
The original folder structure was on SD/media/video and SD/media/music. The video folder is now empty. I've since moved the music folder to the SD's root. There are no .nomedia files in the folders.
Hmmm... interesting, I didn't think the Rezound was that picky, is the music directory in the root of the sd card properly capitalized as "Music"? that is how it is on mine, and the files in it are just ordinary MP3 files...
How many MP3's do you have in there... I have around 500 and when I open Music after changing anything (even just adding one file) the little revolving circle in the My Library bar sits there for a solid 3-4 minutes before anything shows up. WinAmp takes just as long initially, but if you add or delete a file it sees the change in seconds.
I just tried adding a file to the /media/music directory on my SD Card and it showed up fine, but the stock Music player also took another 3-4 minutes to re-index everything before the list populated at all. WinAmp had it in the list before I could scroll down to that artist.
Are you sure the SD card is mounting correctly? Go to Settings -> Storage and scroll down to SD Card and make sure it shows "Unmount SD card" and it is not grayed out and it shows used and available space on the card.
FWIW, on this phone, I am on the stock 3.14.605.12 OTA ROM.
Yep it is. And I have only about 500MB worth of mp3s, so not that many. The thing is, the music player isn't even trying to search for it I read another post on droid forum with similar problem last night (lost the link). I think that poster mentioned maybe too many stray apk backups is causing the search to choke. The SD card is definitely mounted correctly - I just unmounted and remounted again to make sure.
Yep I was on that same stock OTA before this one XxX rom. Same result.
I am going to swap out sd card with the stock rezound 16gb, which should be completely fresh except for a nandroid backup.

Hmmm... could be the issue with too much other "junk" on the card I guess, mine is fairly clean, 50 or so camera shots, a handful of backups and some some other stuff, less than 500MB in total besides the music.
Seems odd that the Music app isn't even trying though, have you tried another player like PowerAmp or WinAmp? WinAmp Pro with the Album Washer plug-in is the BOMB, sync music over WiFi to the phone if you have WinAmp on your PC too, pretty sweet.
Yep it's working now. That must have been it - the thunderbolt SD card was too cluttered. I suppose I'll just have to go in and clean it up a bit. Sheesh Rezound, what's next, gonna make me clean my apartment too?
