I have the T-Mobile s5. I downloaded Google camera. Whenever I load Google camera video recording I cannot take pics while recording. Anyone have this issue? Google camera says it supports picture while recording.

I just tried it and I can't do that as well. Must be a limitation.

Ok, thanks. Our stock one works tho.. lol. I think Google is false advertising since it won't work.

It works on the N5 and N7.
Hmm... Ok. Interesting.
Anyone get this working? I love the camera just not that it can't take pics while recording. Tried asking Google but of course that's like beating a dead horse with a piece of grass.

Hi
Is there any way to improve the camera?
Specifically:
- get ~ 30 fps (or anything more than 15) in video mode
- get bigger videos (720x480 would be ok, and I believe that even 720p could be done with the right software and gpu acceleration)
- more vibrant colors en still images
Any idea is welcome
Thank you in advance

I just need the FPS to be increased. All else is make do-able.
Ofcourse any other tweaks would be welcome!

In other thread we discussed this issue, and we found that (apparently) the camera settings are hard-coded in the camera application.
I tried changing the file /data/local.prop and it didn't work
Other possibilities could be to change the /system/build.prop (but probably it will not work)
Or.. get another camera app that doesn't have this limitation
Is there a stock android camera app that can be used?

[like maniac!!]
If anyone manages to find a way to record at 30fps with this phone, then I can finally die happily

So i guess, i need to push that apk in my system, or just install it?
Is it confirmed that it runs on LG Op. One?

Just tried it. It installs fine, but crashes when switching to video mode, error when trying to get the preview.

after installing the apk, it replaces the stock camera of the phone?
Or you have that camera application as a replacement?
what's the uninstall process?
I've tried edit local.prop & build.prop with new presets, no success.
LG Camera for GT540 doesn't work on higher res videos even after updating those files

I tried using other apps but the sound is still 8000Hz and crashes all camera apps if i change the setting.
I am ok with the resolution. Its the framerate and sound which i hate...

Hmmm camera improvements for a 3mpx . I don't know , seems useless.
Though a filming improvement would be nice ( from 17 or 18 to 30 ) . Even on my Nokia 5230 with a 2mpx shooter I had 30fps VGA filming

My point exactly. Its not like the Optimus is not powerful enough to record 30 Fps.
And the thing is that its not 18 FPS all out. It drops to 7-8 fps at times. If i can get 24 fps and 22.5k Hz sound at 64 kbps all out i'll be happy. The exposure problems and the dullness of images and such is make do able but low fps and that bad bad sound just ruins it. Videos are totally useless. I dont expect HD quality out of my O1 but cmon. It should atleast do VGA properly.
I believe, that changing build.prop is totally ignored by the camera App. I've tried all possible settings/combinations and nothing changed. There must be some way.
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.

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?
So hopefully I'm not the only one with this problem, but when i want to record a video on instagram using front camera it freezes then
says cannot connect to camera, BUT the front cam works with any other video recordings that done. If anyone has a fix please let me know.
Sprint tech couldn't figure it out. SO PLEASE HELP ME!!

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.

Have you tried an HDR video on YouTube? I tried one the other day, and it looked fantastic.

Yes I have. It looks great. Only problem I am having is HDR in the Netflix app. I talked to Netflix and they said they never head of the problem before. But videos everywhere else works and looks amazing
Oh man, forgot this phone played hdr videos. They are amazing! Don't have Netflix, but they are great on YouTube.

Is there a setting in the netflix app for HDR?
Watched some on Youtube labeled 4K HDR ... and they were off the charts perfect.

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.

Look on your phone, the LG help app. They mentioned the V30 does not have a certain codec or something for HDR playback ... ?

Nothing yet to solve the problem "HDR Playback" :fingers-crossed:
after the 9.0 update video stabilization doesn't work anymore on the mate 10 pro, they completely removed it. no way to enable it. why?
It is already activated by default, only in 4k and 1080p 60fps is not activated

i tried it, and it did work, but it just seems stupid that i have to use google camera instead of the default one. i'm not sure what i can do. i already tried resetting the huawei camera app but still nothing.
does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? it works just fine with google camera.

Hi!
Unfortunately final quality is bad - the video floats and very much visible convex jelly-effect.
Tried so many app for video-shot and all of them hoot video almost the same as a stock camera.
Relatively good filming video(with EIS) the Open Camera app, but only at daylight and at FHD 30 fps only.
Looking for some other camera app...
