[Q] Question about screen recording - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone I'm just wondering if anyone is able to help me, my screen recordings are recording background noise and me touching the screen I.E if I have the TV on in the background it records what's being said or if someone is talking in the background it records that too, also everytime I touch my screen its like a huge thud, the screen recording is a great feature but at the minute its a complete nightmare.
Thanks.

It records from mircophone
I recomend SCR Pro

Unlucky for me I updated my phone to get the recording so I'm unable to root it, nightmare

You can downgrade, root and upgrade preinstalling root
It takes some time however

[Q] Video recording with screen turned off?

Hello!
Is there a way to record videos with the screen turned off? I frequently record longer videos and that would save a lot of juice...
I have tried the various spy camera like apps, but none of them makes high quality recordings (although some of them can record HD it is of very low quality).
The only feature I need is to be able to turn off the screen after starting the recording in the stock camera app.
Is it possible?
No.
The only current way is 3rd party apps, as you mention. I guess you're stuck with the best of them, for now.
I use videoreg from the market to record my car journeys in case of an accident and to laugh at the stupid things people do
this has third party support for the samsung hi def codecs and can record in background, with the screen off.

Interesting. I use AutoGuard but will give this a try too. LOVE AutoGuard!
I tried videoreg - does not record anything on my device!? Which video settings do you use?

it pretty much just worked, AAC audio, 1280x720 (although 1080p works too) H.264 and mpeg4. Make sure to turn on extended camera controls and manual bitrate.
After a reboot it now works as it should (before it stopped the recording right after I pressed the rec button and did not save anything) - the quality is really perfect!! Thanks a lot! (Although I still prefer to use the stock app - in case somebody has a solution for that please post it...)
I've recently published app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lofatsoftware.hvc which records video in background... also then screen is turned off.
I've tried it on 6 different devices and quality of video is exactly the same as when recording via android stock camera application.
I would be grateful for feedback if my app works for you.
Best reagrds,

[Q] Camera video recording hanging

Hi guys.
i've had my prime for awhile now, used it's video recording before, but today it seems to be having some problems.
1. Video Recording in Full HD 1080p for 1 min, once i click on the stop, it hangs there for quite awhile, and ultimately pops up the message box "camera app has hanged" , even if i click wait, the camera seems to hang indefinitely and the only way for me to close it is to force reboot.
2. If i record at 20sec or 40sec, it doesn't have a problem. though it hangs around (i think it's converting the videos)
anyone else have this problem? also anyone knows of any alternative camera app other then the stock one?
Mine did the same thing the other night and I had to force close it. When I tried to relaunch the application it said it could not connect to the camera device. I had to do a full shutdown and reboot. I think there are too many bugs either in the OS, the application or the tablet. If you find a better camera app let me know please.
Glad to hear i'm not the only one
There's a few more things i noticed though. This only happened after the recent update. So i'm guessing it's a software problem.
2nd thing is, i'm wondering if it is necessary to actually do a conversion after the video recording. My HD2 phone can record videos without any hanging after i click on the stop button.
Not much hanging or crashes here but I do experience freezes when zooming while recording video. Wondered if this was app or hardware...
hmm i tried on a friend's Transformer (not prime)
Their video recording is seemless.. the moment i click the stop recording button. the recording stops instantly and no hanging or anything..
i'm wondering if it has anything to do with our multiple updates..
I do remember multiple reports of the Prime's very poor disk performance. It scored very low on multiple benchmarks.
Update on this. i sent my Prime to ASus service center. Reported this pproblem + another dock problem. Will update once i get my prime back
Update on this. I just got my prime back. They did a excellent job. Completely fixed now. Video recording is fluid. Even recording for 20sec / 40 sec / 1 min, it stops immediately. I guess just a re-fresh would have solved the problem but since i had another dock problem which they'll need to fix, they fixed this at the same time.

[Q] Snapchat video recording time not working properply

After searching for a while it seems few people have shared my problem but none really found a solution.
I'm on a Galaxy S3 i9300 running the latest stable build of SlimKat (which is AOSP based) and it appears snapchat videos only record for a second or so before stopping. According to what I read i recognized the problem as a memory problem, snapchat has a maximum memory capacity for video and for some reason on AOSP based ROMs it reaches that maximum too early. I confirmed this because I saw that when Video Quality is set on "Low" it does record the full 10 seconds (although in messed up proportions which is why I don't want to use it) and if I put the Video Mode on regular and put my thumb on the camera it records 10 seconds of black, and if I suddenly remove the finger it ends because of the memory maximum.
How can I fix this problem? I really like vanilla android and I don't want to move to Samsung based ROMs for something like this. Please help

That's my problem too =/
Same and my front facing recording is being inverted like right is shown as left ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Had a dream about this... Try going to camera app and go to video setting, in the recording setting change the video to a lower one. Mine was at 1080p and when I changed it to 720p it started working amazing. Try setting it lower if that doesn't work for you. Mine was only recording for 1 second and would stop, after this I can record the full length allowed now. Let us know if this works for you

[Q] [HELP] How do I prevent the screen recorder from crashing?

I've just updated my phone to Lollipop a few days ago and I'm enjoying it. I'm really glad they added a screen recorder on the power menu so I don't have to use a 3rd party app like Mobizen that lags for days. It works fine for the most part, until I start recording Summoners War gameplay. I noticed that it the recorder vanishes and no video was recorded, so it seems like it crashes. Any way to prevent this? My device is not rooted yet and I'm not planning on rooting my ZU anytime soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to play some of my online games when I root it (some games detect rooted devices as installed with malicious apps for hacking).

I have same issue. I tried to reinstall rom but it still crash so I use SCR Screen Recorder.
It's the best android recording software. If you have root you can record internal audio. If not have root they made a version of it without. It's the best

Screen Recording crahes System

Hello guys,
Screen recording is not working in lollipop ROM's.
Flashing the latest builts also brings no luck. As soon as i start recording the screen, the system freezes. The game sounds keep playing but nothing else works. A mp4 file is also saved by the screen recorder but it is 0.00 B in size ^_-. It used to work in the stock firmware. Is there any fix? and does screen recording work in Marshmallow?
Thank You for your time.:fingers-crossed:

I'm on Cm13 Marshmallow, and screenrecording works, but you can't watch the mp4 on your device. I think you have to watch it on a computer. Hope this helps.
