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
Hi there. Today i just noticed some lag after i recorded a video. I recorded a video for about a minute and a half to 2 minutes each time and then when i pressed stop on the screen...it stopped recording but kind of jammed or froze on that same screen still showing the red stop button, both times it did this. Is that normal for Galaxy's to do or is it just my phone? I went to test it again later but i recorded a shorter video and was fine and no lag, but seems that larger or longer videos seem to freeze or jam it for a bit. I was in a very dusty, dirt road area and just maybe though something may of gotten into the phone and wrecked it a bit but just had it replaced with a brand new device nonetheless.
TAKE A LOOK A THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OF NEW XPERIA X F5122
I HOPE THEY WOULD BE NOTICED AND FIXED (sorry for bad english)
PROBLEM 1 (MAJOR)
-major software problem which appears to be only in sony phones (since i never experienced it in other brands devices)
-everytime i connected my device to pc in mtp mode, many of the files on sd card are either absent or shown with 0kb size rendering my files completely useless
-reinstalling drivers did not help since the phone is detected right
-the only solution i could find is to erase data of external storage and media storage in apps and then restart
but the problem appears again when i connect it again in a couple of times
PROBLEM 2 (MAJOR)
it has a great camera but it cannot focus when the object is near to lens (like taking a shot of 4x4 photograph) (not too close)
the camera had to be taken far from the photo in order to get it focused (too far for me in terms of near focus)
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it
PROBLEM 3
while playing music its back metal panel vibrates too strongly to cause vibrations in whole body
and too much dirt gets into the space of front speakers (makes the empty space of speakers white, like dirt and sand)
----so i guess sony needs to make structural changes in future models in order to make a sturdy built device----
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping
occurs more when in stamina mode
noted.
F5121 here and only experience problems 3&6 not that it really bothers me.
Please explain this - "the double click to lock screen works fine"?

You can enable it through settings in the launcher. And it only works when you are in the launcher, you can't lock it while in an app.
Edit: thought i was hit by number 5. But i wasn't, was using forced 2d rendering and that caused it to be come hotter than normally. Have none of the issues mentioned above.

Good to know, as I'm using Apex Launcher, I wasn't aware of such default launcher functionality. But as Apex is still better, I just configured it's double tab to launch Greenify hibernate & lock and this does the same job.
I got 6th problem.
You are very right. I can't believe what just happened to me. Have been crying since yesterday. I connected my Xperia x to computer to access a file from SD and I search for it but couldn't find it. I had to disconnect phone from pc and reconnect to see if i could access file. To my shock and surprise i couldn't see any files in my SD again. My SD was holding data size of 46GB but in a twinkle of an eye i lost all, phone shows only 9GB all files completely disappeared! What kind of phone is this? Am completely confused, i have to sue sony for this, this is completely unacceptable. Have never experienced such since have been using phones in my life.
All my data saved and I depend on in my work are completely lost just like that. How can I spend huge money on Xperia x to suffer this kind of loss? What do o do now?

Never occurred to me: problems 1, 2 and 4. I am not sure about 4, but compared to every single other device I have used I didn't notice any problems with the jack. Also, focus on the camera is OK for a 4x4 picture.
3 - yes, that is 101% true. The vibrations are unbearable.
5 - yes, although not always (eg. when charging mine almost never overheats, only with 7.1.1 broken version)
6 - idk
well the issues are now 1 year old,, but worth replying!

its Windows MTP issue! even on Galaxy phones, the largers the counts of file(not size) , mtp fails to load. I use wifi servers on Fx File Explorer, ORR the BEST is MYPHONE EXPLORER http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

I never faced such issue! X takes awesome pix! however try the latest build nov17 , on 7.1.1
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it
PROBLEM 3

I find vibration as normal as any device! however the speaker volume was low which after rooting i replaced xml file to loud them further.. and yes X don't have IP rating! so its not dust, water resistant!
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
I always found it very low! so if you have ROOTED X, you can replace the attached mixer_paths_wcd9335.xml file at /system/etc (make backup of the original) // then reboot! the device will be so LOUD
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
flash FCS_thermal_Xperia_X_V.1.3.zip using twrp and heating problem will be solved to 30%
battery is just 2600mAh , no solution for that
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping

my friend has black version, works amazing!
my lime version also don't respond to double tapping at times! specially on stamina mode!
in new line of xperia they have removed this batter draining feature!

since its your first post and I believe you have X which is not rooted.
the first tip i will give you is to EXTACT DRM KEYS! before unlocking the boot!
xperia X in one of the few lucky devices whose drmkeys can be Extracted!
in 2017 line of sony phones! its impossible (as of now)

Problem 1; I don't seem to experience this on my single sim variant, except this Mtp crap is buggy and unresponsive with almost every phone I've used from android 1.6 days.
Problem 2; That is due to the 120 degree G lens. You'd realise that other phones have a much narrower field of view compared to the XX and thus, you'd be holding the phone much further way to get the same macro shot as you would on the XX hence the focusing problem.
Problem 3; Oh yes definitely agree with you on that.
It is also worth nothing that the main speaker (top) is louder than the bottom one.
Problem 4; yes with speaker and the 3.5mm jack.... ummmm really? How loud do people listen to their music?
it drives my 60ohm Sony headphones just fine. It's a bit lower volume than my tablet or laptop, but the XX's output is more than enough. If you're talking about the stock headphones.... man you're just damaging your hearing.
Problem 5; only on stock camera app, but yes like after 3 minutes of 60fps full recording. Google Camera, Line Camera and Snapchat work just fine even when the phone is boiling hot.
But my battery is just fine.
Problem 6; that only happens when I have a glass screen protector on.
All true!
All true!
Everything you describe is exactly what I experience with my device. It is also model F5121
I also say that when it's hot in the car or outside it's worse and the device gets really hot and the screen gets almost dark with the wase when it's hot in the car, especially in the summer so the device heats up as well. I took a video at night and the device did not get hot but on this day it's really bad. In short, Sony did not deal with the heating problem because I read that they said that this update will work out but it happened.
Solution for problem 1:
Restart the phone when you want transfer files using mtp from sd card. The reason you don't see those files is because of the way android (or the Linux kernel in general) handles file transfer.
Just got a Mate 10 Pro. In general the camera seems really good.
One thing which seems odd is that for me when I put the flash in auto mode, the flash only seems to come on when it's pretty much pitch black.
I'm on the UK BLA-L09 model on a 8.0.0.115 firmware.
Pictures with the flash when I force the flash on in dark places like this are way better.
Seems the auto flash poss isn't working properly.
Seems the same after restart and also using 3rd party camera apps as well.
Anyone else seeing this?
This is the Leica way. You'll find auto mode also favours brighter colours and some film grain. I like the look myself although it can be annoying for certain pics. There have been a few firmware updates since .115 which may have adjusted it.
Thanks for the response Arthur,
I took two pics in same environment which was very dark.
The one which didn’t use the flash in Auto flash mode seems to be trying to take at 0.25 Sec @ ISO 1230 F1.6
Picture looks terrible and the camera tells me "Sharpening the photo. Please Steady the device”
Using the manual flash then resulted in a picture using settings of 1/50th Sec @ ISO 160 F1.6
Now I don't mind a bit of grain and higher ISO to get a good picture, but to me asking us to manage with no flash when selecting 1/4 Second exposure time doesn't seem right does it?
Measuring light with one of those sensor apps – Androsensor (which I know may not be accurate) , it Seems that the camera flash doesn’t come on until something like 4-5 Lux, when below 30 Lux would be where I’d consider normally triggering the flash.
Other phone cameras also trigger fine in these conditions.
Worse than I thought actually, just re-measured and the flash only comes on in auto mode when the light level is pretty much at 0 Lux. Still not using the flash at 0.5 Lux.
Could be a faulty cameramodule I guess.

Hi everyone,
Just got the phone and it's amazing but one thing is bothering me. Last night I opened the camera and wanted to take some photos in dark and the camera (on screen preview) was stuttering like it's low FPS. The photo turns out great it's just the stutter that's worrying me. Is that normal? When I for example lock the AF to something and turn up the ''sun'' icon it raises the FPS and there is much less stuttering. Is that normal?
Thanks in advance
anyone? is my phone bad?

No, but in low light the phone needs to take a lot of photos, then it combines them in a specific way, and that could be slow.
thanks a lot

Normal, the phone is dropping the shutter speed alot.
