I'm having weird issues with video recording. If I start filming in bright light, the frame rate is abysmal (about 2 fps). In normal room lighting there is no problem and the frame rate is good enough.
The weird part is that if I start recording in the room light and step out side to very bright day light, the frame rate stays good. And if I start in bright light with bad fps it stays bad no matter the lighting.
Anyone else having this issue?
edit: my phone is stock and is running OS version 7.10.7740.16
Hmmm, my phone has the same configuration as yours: Stock rom and everything. I tried what you said, recording from bright light to room & vice versa, but my transitions seem to be smooth with no lags :/ I believe your camera is on it's default settings?
When in camera mode, try panning the camera from bright light to dim & vice versa, see if there are any lags of choppiness in between the transition. If there isn't, there shouldn't be any problems. If there is, I'm not sure what's causing it.
Does anyone here has had this issue as well?
I've tried to do just like you told and I have some example videos but I can't link to them as I'm new member (joined 2008, never written anything before
Couple a days I did some filming outside and I had to start recording by covering the lens with my finger every time to get normal fps. This way it works fine and I get good quality.
I don't know if it has something to do with that there's really bright outside during day because all the snow here but I can also replicate the problem by pointing camera to my monitor.
This is new issue for me too as it was working fine untill now.
btw. It seems to work fine if I use VGA quality.
I just hope I don't have to reset my phone.
Hmmm, I guess no else has had this problem. But this is a really unique one since VGA works, there's no reason why 720p isn't working. Perhaps bringing the phone to the service center might be of help? :/

Hi joaquim! Dont feel lonely, i also have this problem on my mozart phone. I've made a search on youtube, and i also noted that there are several users with the same problem.
I also have another problem, it gets difficult to change from the phone mode to video mode. Every time i press the cam icon to change the mode to video, i hear some clicks inside the phone and the imagem starts to focus. I have to click several times until i can change the mode.
Also, i see no solution for this
your not alone i have this problem too and it happened on my stock rom and even now on the latest custom rom that i installed. I have not tried the finger trick though.
I also tried doing some searching and the only thing i found pointed at possible sd card issues...i have swapped out the deafault 8gb sdcard for a 16gb one and they state that if it is not class 5/6 then it could be too slow writing 720p data.
but like you i have no problem recording 720p indoors just outside or in bright light....
I have noticed that this only occurs in 720p mode, in VGA mode works fine though

Just received my replacement Galaxy S2 and I've noticed that the camera seems to focus and makes 2 short clicking sounds when the phone starts up and when I change from camera to video camera and vice versa. This didn't seem to occur on the handset that was replaced.
Is this common or is it a fault?
Well it does the same on mine... Not sure why this would make it faulty?
The clicking noise is actually the camera lens moving back and forth (calibrating?).
My phone on the latest camera firmware does that too - not sure if it did it before.
Just noticed that on mine too, and then found this thread. So, it seems to be normal. We hope so.
My s2 makes also this strange noise. But I nerver noticed this sound on my first s2 which got replaced. I can't immagine that I failed to hear it on my first s2 because it's quite loud. Don't know what to do now . Maybe other people can report if they hear /have this sound.
Mine makes that noise too. Didnt notice it before i read about it here
It's the autofocus. My Desire did that, and so did my Hero.
+1 same here
yes, I'm having the same clicking sounds - the problem is that the camera doesn't work at all...

What! does your camera work ? you got root ?
It's just the auto-focus.
the camera has never worked ever since I bought the damn thing, it just makes these clicking sounds - might be the autofocus - and the viewfinder is black
I've tried 3 or 4 different roms, changed the kernel a few times, got root... and nothing worked. Twice, after restart, I managed to take 2 pics but as soon as I change to video it all goes to hell
I made a video but I can't post it because I'm under 8 posts

yes mine does that too.I am from india.
If it helps
Mine clicks too, all works just fine tho!
Many cameras make a small click when turning on - hero did it too. It's likely an actuator calibration mechanism, to ensure the feedback system is working - wind full in and out, and self-check the sensor return values.

That's exactly what it does, you can see it if you look at the camera.
Mine clicks like crazy when using Tiny Flashlight + LED, Brightest Flashlight Free™ and a couple others I have tried. I mean CRAZY. Like a frog in a sock CRAZY.
It just continues to click. Sometimes it doesn't actually do it but 80% of the time it does
My camera clicks twice too when opening it or when switching to video mode. Clicks are not that loud and camera works perfectly, so i assumed it's normal, though some people say it's not. Wonder if camera does that on all S2 phones or is it related to rom versions or camera firmware ?
Completely silent XWKF3 and latest Camera firmware.
OK, that is not a real hardware clicking, it is not autofocus, it is not lens movement. It's the camera startup noise, and you can disable it by renaming the files:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg as camera_click.ogg.bak
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click_short.ogg as camera_click_short.ogg.bak
You do need root for this.
I have a problem with my gtab. the screen is kind of flockering. Not the problem with the screen flicker when the tab is low on ram, which was solved with the latest kernel. It is some kind of ... grainy effect. I notized first when I read a Pdf file where the background was black and the letters white. The letters were a little bit moving, as if the pixel were not constant. then I notized it is the same in the taskbar when on landscape, but not on portrait. the numbers of the time were grainy. furthermore the letters of the Apps in the Appdrawer, grainy but only in landscape, not portrait.
How can I solve this problem?
rom is Infamous AOKP latest kernel 1.9.1
should be p7510 - p4 wifi

If with grainy you mean that you can see the pixels, that is normal as or device doesn't come with the highest resolution. If it is really moving, that would be odd and is not something I see. Did you check whether it is also present on stock ROM?

I know the screen. I mean not the normal grainy letters coming from low ppi.
The pixels are definitly moving, not all pixel of a letter/number only some of them.
I didnt see something on stock, no.

I'd like to push this, maybe someone could help me, although I got a new tablet a while ago.

Perhaps, it is repairable, I already opened the GTab.
(Never had warranty)

Hi,
I am facing the same problem. I watched your videos and its the same.
Did u get it checked. Please let me know if you solve this.
Thanks,
AV
Nothing as of yet.
Tablet can be switched on but lies somewhere around
Now I am on a KK Rom - Omni.
Not suprisingly, the flicker is still there...
push?
Any help?
It looks you have a faulty digitizer and/or screen. Since you tried almost every ROM you can safely rule out a software problem (you did test this with a stock ROM as well, right?). So I'm guessing it's hardware related.

Itsa me again...
My tablet seems to be fine again :good:
What did I do?
Two things:
1)
I left the screen on with power plugged in. Nothing else
I do not know if this did the trick.
2)
I overclocked the tab to 1.4 GHz, activated WiFi Bluetooth, max. brightness and ran a stability test with graphics.
I then wrapped the tablet into a blanket (heat generation).
After 15 minutes I heard the battery (it was charged only to 15 % before)
And it was quite hot.
After cooling the tablet down i read a few PDF and no flicker...
Now I have two tablets, one Asus and one Samsung
Any comment on that procedure?
Unfortunately it is back again.
I burned the tablet again, but nothing. Didnt work this time.
Do you have any suggestions how to fix this?
Does the front camera lags on your s6 edge? Mine lags, with the camera view runs slowly. I'm not sure how to explain the 'lag', but try changing it to wide-screen selfie and see if there is a difference? Wide-screen selfie works without lag for me, I can see the screen moving smoothly, but on normal selfie, it works slowly especially during low light condition (I noticed that night mode is on automatically).
Have the same problem. Also some of the pictures are overexposed on auto, without a reason. And in an hour it is all fine.

Never have the overexposed issue so far. Your front camera lags occasionally or all the time?

Turn off beauty mode?
Same problem it lags on normal mode with no effect
In wide mode lag disappears.
Got any solution?
Any solution?
What happens is that whenever I use the front camera, It shows normal result, I take a picture and it's cool but whenever I start recording, the screen goes dark, dull as if there's no light in the room. Same with every other application I use like snapchat. This really sucks and I hope there's a solution to fix this.
I faced the same issue with my old S2 but I thought it might be some kind of hardware issue but it actually wasn't.
So I got the V10 on T-Mobile the day it was announced that the bootloader was factory unlockable. I love it so far with one somewhat concerning exception (apart from the laughable battery life but *shrug*): the majority of the time when I try to use the back camera, I'm not able to focus it. In auto mode tapping to focus does nothing. In manual mode sliding the focus dial also does nothing. Third party camera apps won't focus either. I have to pull the battery and reboot and it *might* work then, and if it does it'll only work the first time I open the camera. Front cameras work fine and the focus on the back camera when it works is excellent. Has anybody else run into this or know if it's worth messing with or if I should just exchange it?
Also for clarification I was running the stock rom (rooted) but with very little frozen. Switched to black hole yesterday (triple wipe) which has been lightning fast so far but having the same issue.
Thanks!
Same
Got it last week and Ive been having the same problem. I dont have many apps but I do let my battery drain due to laziness. Thats the only bad thing I do. I'm thinking of exchanging it because ive also messed with all the settings in the manual camera and nothing. Its set to a very close 1 inch distance to focus well. Front camera works marvelous.

Yeah close focus is exactly the problem. I can take passable pictures of stuff right in front of me by physically moving the phone closer and further until it's in focus but that's useless. I'm going to go by the T-Mobile store this evening or tomorrow and see what they say.
