Well, I've had a good look around now and can't find a thing on this so maybe some one can help.
I was at a Rammstein gig the other night and managed to get some awesome video footage.
The only thing that let me down was the auto focus constantly in and out... when it sticks with it..its cristal clear...
looked through the settings, nothing. would be happy with touch to focus, like when taking a pic.
Any thing I can do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
I don't see a way of changing focus on video recording on the stock app, but you can use lgCamera (lgCamcorder) which will let you set fixed focus.

Shame, have taken a look at lgcamera before. Don't think its as nice as the stock.
May I ask why?

Why what? Why Samsung didn't include it in the stock camera app? I think only they know the answer.

No, not why didn't they include it (god only knows why not)
More why can't we "tweak" the apk?
If you turn off full hd 1080p video recording (only use 720p) it doesn't focus in and out like that, and the quality is still very clear
Finaly a workable solution!

Thank you, wasn't aware of this
Will prob use it from now on. Doesn't seem to focus at all. True test will be testing with flashing lights.
Still, no one has managed to answer why we can't mod it?
I can't seem to find an app that records video in the background on my phone. I am running Task650 and Ktoonsez's AOKP build 6.8.12. I have tried Secret Video Record, Mobile Hidden Camera, Hidden Camera Spy Camera Free, and a couple others. These don't record video in the background correctly. The videos come out scrambled (with green lines usually). You can tell when the camera is being moved but you can't tell what is being recorded at all. Does anyone know how to fix the problem or of an app that works?
That ACLU secret recording app might work. Don't know if it saves video locally or on their servers though.

I am having the same problem. The video won't even play for me. Everything else works, just the background process causes it to screw up.

That's because Android does not allow recording video without showing preview (SurfaceView) to the user. When you hide preview and Android detects it - preview surface will be destroyed. Furthermore then surface is not longer valid - MediaRecorder (which records video) will crash.
All those apps try to overcome this restriction in different ways.
I've also tried to do it and published app: Hidden Video Camera.
Google Play link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lofatsoftware.hvc
Application website: http://lofatsoftware.com/hidden-video-camera/
I've tested on bunch of different devices and it worked like a charm. You can try it for free and check if it works on your device.
This mod only contains modified values to media_profiles.xml, We have already seen this posted but they seem to no longer work so im posting one here :good:
Suggestions for improvements are helpful, Some of these values ive tested a bit higher but this is a good starting point
I am not responsible for dead phones/bricks or any sort of bad thing this mod could ever cause
Things You Need:
Rooted LG G3
File Manager with root access (i use ES File Manager)
The MOD
How To Install:
Extract the ZIP
Use a file manager to Copy/Paste & overwrite the media_profiles.xml to the "/system/etc/" directory
Make sure the media_profiles.xml has permissions set to "rw- r-- r--"
Reboot
Current Features:
4K bitrate increased from 30mbps to 40mbps
Image compression set to 100
1080p bitrate increased from 30mbps to 40mbps
1080p FPS increased 30fps to 60fps
I will be uploading both the MOD & Stock zips
I have not tested the flashable zip

Also the bitrate in the file still says 30mbps for 1080p. I changed mine to 40 and it works all right. But I don't understand why it's still taking video at 30 fps despite the file clearly saying 60.

I never used slow motion before.
I set it to slow motion video after this mod.
I recorded something.
Played it back.
It was normal speed. Is there a setting I am missing?
I will go back to original later and check the result then,

Slow-mo will only playback as slow-mo on the device and only with the default gallery.

Well you can record slow motion and in the gallery playback multipule speeds
When copyed to a pc, you can see it plays @120Fps and isn't in slow motion
It looks like the only way to slow it down on PC is to probably use video editing software, unless there's a way to do it in the gallery before copying it over

Anyone have issues with lag? When I select 1440p 60fps HDR, the video will start to slow down and begins to skip. I have even turned on performance mode and it still does it. I've rebooted my phone, made sure nothing intensive is running but no luck. It's not my internet connection either as I have 200Mbps download
Anyone tried this, should look nice:

Same the phone heats up and I seem to have fps drop.
Not sure I understand this YouTube HDR video thing...
HDR, in photos, is a high dynamic range from multiple exposures. So shadows are boosted, etc.
How can a video be HDR? So say it's a high dynamic range and colours and shadows are boosted. Okay. But what feature does YouTube "HDR" then apply together with our Note 8 screens that's so special as opposed to viewing it on any other device? Not quite sure I fully understand.

Is the video buffering when it skips? If so, are you on WiFi or LTE? If it's LTE, some carriers throttle you whenever you're streaming video.
Mine does the same thing. Doesn't matter if it's on Wi-Fi or LTE. 1080p HDR and 1440p HDR both lag. 1440p is a fast slideshow. Unwatchable atm. Until either YouTube or there is a patch it fittest work right. So far have confirmed outs on everyone phone I have tested from people at work. 4 including mine. Netflix hdr seems like outta working fine tho.

Edit 2: https://www.xda-developers.com/hdr-youtube-app-android-1080p-only/
Edit: It appears since then 1080p is the highest resolution for HDR videos. So they removed 1440p and 4K playback for HDR for now. Which is a good sign, it means they realised the problem, and removed it until they fix it. Hopefully it will be soon.
Original:
I have the same issue on my Xperia XZ Premium. I only now noticed youtube has HDR support, but playing it at 2160p the videos are very laggy, and slowed down and skip around to keep up with audio. Playing it at 1440p, still a problem but not as bad. At 1080p it's okay, but then again you lose 3 quarters of the resolution by going down to 1080p. What's the point of 4K HDR if it doesn't work? This is a YouTube app problem though. I made a bug report, hopefully they notice it and fix it.
These stats don't really show anything, they look normal, but it's 100% not normal, as it slows down significantly for no reason, it's not buffering or anything. It's like the app can't handle all the data.
Which is wierd as 2160p 60fps videos work fine. The problem is with HDR
Hi all,
So far I am liking the phone, I am having an issue and I dont know if it's me or what. When I was regular shows/movies on Netflix (HD) it looks great, no issues what so ever. But when I view HDR shows the whole thing has a really bad brownish tint to it.
I tried to take a screen shot of it but it would not let me do that. I dont know if I did something wrong in the settings which in the display part it is set to Movies and the Enhanced Video Color is turned on as well.
If you need more information to help me fix this issue please me know.
Thanks in advance
Is anyone else having similar issues or is it just me?
I'm not signed up for Netflix 4k (which is the plan to get HDR), so there's no way I can test it.

Just a standard and a high option and mine is set to high. I know, every other app like youtube and so on plays it perfect. May jusy be the Netflix app itself
Mine do not appear to play in HDR either and the video information shows HDR on the description. I wish it would show an HDR logo like my TV when it is playing in HDR. As far as youtube, what HDR resolution do you guys use? Mine is a bit choppy in 720p and skips frames badly at anything above.
I set my Youtube to 4K ... it was flawless over wifi ..
TMobile limits you to 480p to keep unlimited usage.
All, my Sony Xperia xz premium does indeed show HDR when I look up the Daredevil series. BTW it's a good to test the screen with. Anyway the V30 only shows HD so my feeling is that we are not watching HDR. I could be that Netflix hasn't authorized the V30 for HDR viewing as of yet. As I recall it took a bit for the XZP to get added to the white list.
Just got my V30 US998 and I noticed the same thing with HDR Netflix playback. It's similar to what I've seen with some early "HDR Compatible" TVs that are technically capable of receiving the signal, but not applying the appropriate processing or color mapping to make it look right. It could just be that Netflix needs to update the app to support the V30, or maybe it will be fixed with a future system update. Youtube does look great, but I'm not 100% sure that's playing in HDR properly either because there's no indication one way or another.
Question on the HDR youtube videos... I saw a screenshot somewhere (not v30) showing that you could actually choose HDR as a separate "quality setting". i.e. you'd have "480p, 720p, 1080p, 720pHDR, 1080pHDR" so on and so forth. My youtube doesn't show that. Is there any way to confirm that it's actually playing in HDR?
It looks out of this world, so it probably already is playing HDR, but just figured I'd check for sanity.
Same for me. HDR videos on Netflix are washed out. As if Netflix is rendering the video in a different colorspace. HD videos are fine.
