I have two phones. A LG V30+ H930DS on Android 9.0 Pie and a Samsung Galaxy S9+ on 9.0 Pie.
Software Version: V30c-TWN-XX
When playing HDR videos on YouTube the LG V30's blacks look grey and colours are less vibrant meanwhile on the Samsung Galaxy S9+ HDR shows correctly with deep blacks and vibrant colours. I did not have this issue on Android 8.0 with my LG V30.
I have the screenshots linked in the imgur post. The LG V30's screenshot is exactly how I see it on my screen which means it's displaying an SDR conversion whereas the Galaxy S9's screenshot looks dull with means it is displaying HDR correctly.

The same issue happens with YouTube Vanced too and if I force the VP9 codec although ir has perfect blacks the colour is muted. If I take a screenshot it looks exactly the same as the Samsung Galaxy S9's screenshot which means it is displaying HDR correctly just not on my screen?

Hello, anyone know of a better video recording app that has zoom options? Also what are some tips to get better video recording quality?
When I record outside its great but when inside with what seems to be decent lighting I get noise and the exposure settings don't seem to do anything...
Any tips?
Flashed stock honeycomb 3.1 and it seems to record with better video quality... Has anyone else noticed this? With TouchWiz it seems darker with alot more noise or am I just trippin?

Hello,
I got 10.1 Galaxy tab wifi grey color.- Non rooted (usa)
Model: GT-p7510
Android Version: 3.1
Kernal Version: 2.6.36.3
[email protected] #1
Build Number:HMJ37.UEKME P7510UEKME
I check video recording inside and outiside with good light with high resolution. it was grainy and also when you move the tablet -it become blurry during motion.
I tried to change White Balance value but no luck
I have Samsung Vibrant (galaxy S series) mobile which has far better result for video recording.
Is there any better app in Market which provide better video recording result?
No, unfortunately the camera used in the Tab10 is a low quality CMOS sensor and not very sensitive to light which is why the images and video are so grainy. Cameras on most smartphones are far better. The Tab 10 has one of the worst cameras sensors I have seen on a premium mobile device and I have used many devices. There is no software that will fix this as it is a hardware limitation.

Thanks for quick reply.
Oh..that is not good. i was under impression ( based on my samsung vibrant mobile) that video quality will be good than other tablets ( thrive or Xoom or Acer)
Just uploaded from Galaxy tab as it is from "Galary" app.

Dear friends,
On the official LG web site they say the LG V30 have:
1. 10-bit HDR Image Sensor – captures up to 211% more colors for improved accuracy. - ( I read tha article that LG have just 8 bit. And if they have 10 bit how they have bad photos, dynamic range.)
2. OIS+2.0 and EIS. (No one on YouTube says they have EIS, and if they have the EIS is not turn on??? Did we need tivwait update?)
3. Slow-Motion Video Recording – 1280 x 720 resolution, 240 FPS ( They are several YouTubers and web site that they say that LGV30 have just 120fps)
4. Steady Record 2.0 – record smoother, clearer videos on the move. (No one confirm this of users)
I don't have device, but I didn't find all of this things in any review of LG V30. Did LG lie? Or this is still beta software and we need to wait all of this?
Thx a lot for your answers and sorry for bad English :/

I don't understand this question. All the reviewers say this f/1.6 rear camera is great and all the pictures I have seen in this forum are fantastic.

Dear friend,
If you look at LG official web site, the 10 bit HDR photos have fantastic and much more color then former 8 bits HDR photos. But when you took photo with V30 a landscape mode where is buildings you will see the building but the behind of building will be all white, they are no a blue sky. Just look the photos dynamic range is very bad. Bur they promise very good HDR with 10 bits. And other things what i wrote i didn't see in V30.

That's because those stock photos are probably taken on a medium format and NOT a V30. Or a ton of expensive equipment with the V30.

Steady Record 2.0 is the same as EIS, when you turn Steady Record on in settings you turn on EIS. And guys on Youtube typically just post videos but they don't tell much if it was shot with Steady Record enabled or with Steady Record disabled. Hence we don't see if enabling EIS have much effect on stabilization. Even in this video it is unknown whether it was shoot with EIS on

1) Dynamic Range and "color range" (not what it is really called but we'll go with it as it's an easier term to relate to) capture are two different things. Dynamic range in simplest terms is how much detail can you capture between complete black and complete white. You will see people get really pissy if they can't get every detail in a bright sunlit cloud AND the back of a cave in the same shot.
The 211% increase in color capture is actually found in the spaces between colors. So instead of just capturing red, yellow, and blue, the increase color capture would be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Or if you wanted to get even more specific, instead of capturing just green, you get forest green, kelly green, British racing green, acid green, moss green, lichen, chartreuse, etc.
2) OIS seems to be always on and I really wish we had a switch to turn it off and on like on my lenses but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. EIS, as stated before, is Steady Record which does seem to have a switch in 1080 resolution. I haven't had a chance to play with it as much as I'd like but after watching a video earlier this week I might play with these two more. I was trying to figure out why my 1080 video didn't look stabilized compared to my 4k video. After watching some video somewhere, it turns out the OIS and EIS might be fighting each other. That's in video.
Also, in extremely loud environments I've noticed that either OIS or I am being moved a lot by stuff like a heavy beat coming out of speaker right next to me. Like I said, I need to play with the video more. I've shooting stills for a few decades and have a handle on that. I only tackle video once in a great while and really need to sit down and invest more time into learning it.
3) Slow motion. If you go into the manual video mode and pick out your video resolution to 720 and pick your frame rate, the highest you will get is 120fps. If you go into camera modes and pick the slo-mo option, that's where the 240fps resides. You can test this out by recording a video in manual set to 720p/120fps then another in just the slo-mo mode.
4) See #2, I'm still trying to wrap my head around what all is going on here.
Hi all,
I have a H930DS, I use it to watch some videos and do some reading late at night when kids are in bed.
To watch videos, I use mxplayer and set luminosity inside it at 2/16 (lower is way too dark, higher gets too bright as I'm in the dark),
been doing that (same software, same brightness setting) for few years with my galaxy tab S and my axon 7.
These 2 devices are definitely different but same video on both devices look very much the same (some decoding artefacts are different though) regarding colours/brightness/contrast.
With my H930DS, it's definitely not the same, with mxplayer and brightness 2/16, contrast is completely wrong, dark areas get just plain black, bright areas seem brighter than my other 2 devices.
To be able to see anything in those dark areas, I have to increase brightness at least at 8/16, but then the bright areas get really too bright to watch in the dark.
This also happens with other video player, I tried a few os from @SGCMarkus (LOS15.1, DU, dotos, RR), also boombox 1.3, stock (both oreo and 21a, 21h latest nougat).
It is always the same, the less worse is using boombox or stock with the setting option 'HDR effect for videos' enabled, screen is still too dark but noticeably less.
Someone else experienced the same or am I just stuck with some wrong display?
Anyone knows of a (recent) video player where contrast/brightness can be customised?
Is there something that could be done in kernel or at higher level in android?
I'm quite mitigated regarding screen issue as I have none of the usually reported issues with V30's screen (banding, discolouration)
thanks in advance for your feedback

Have you tried VLC? I think you can customize video setting like contrast and stuff also
I tried vlc but it has no contrast control on android.
The thing is viewing videos in low brightness was always ok,
I also tested my wife's galaxy A5 2017 along my 2 older devices,
all of them ok, only my v30 is definitely not ok
I've noticed Galaxy S9+s and S9 have serious video stuttering issues, and I would like to know if anyone else notices these small details with a close eye. It's enough to notice and makes taking videos with this phone unenjoyable to watch.
I've had these problems since I basically bought the phone brand new and thought it's just mine, however I tested with numerous other S9+s and they ALL have the exact same issues. Basically when recording video, whether it's 1080p or 4K, during scenes where there is movement, you can see objects jerk and stutter around. Instead of a smooth flowing scene, it jumps. I went ahead and made a video showing this problem. I always record in 1080p for the most part, and these stuttering issues only affect 30fps video. If you record in 60fps, it's smooth and no stutter. But it's not just because it's 60fps, as my S8 records smooth in 30fps with no lag/stutter. Video stabilization ON/OFF makes no change whatsoever either.
Recorded to internal memory, but recording to my Samsung EVO plus SD makes no difference at all.
The first scene in the video shows a helicopter taking off and going across a blue sky. This scene shows it VERY clearly, you can see the copter almost jump scenes. The next one is cars driving by and you can see how they jump slightly forwards at times. The 3rd and 4th scenes are my S9 and S8 side by side. Watch the buildings and vehicles closely and you can see how the S9+ stutters, while everything on the S8 is really smooth. Side note, the video colors look much better on the S8 also. Not really what you expect when you get the latest flagship model and it seems like the camera is a downgrade all around, which is one reason I actually upgraded.. to have a better camera.
Updated to the latest software update AND factory reset the phone with still no differences.

I see what you mean but I have never noticed that on my s9+ and I shoot a lot of video.
Maybe it has to do with the exynos / snapdragon thing. I live in Europe Sweden so I guess I have Exynos.

I have had this same issue with my exynos s9+ but it resolved itself. Now I do not have that problem and I do not remember if I did something or it went away itself.
I recently upgraded from a Note9 to a S23 Ultra. My Note9's smartview worked perfectly with my LG OLED TV. However, the picture with the S23U's smartview is heavily pixelated, as if the network connection is literally only Kbps-speeds. Nothing other than the phone has changed (all other devices and infrastructure remains the same).
I can use the Note9 to display exactly the same content as the S23U on the same TV and the experience is worlds apart, with the Note9 displaying a completely unpixelated video stream.
Anyone else noticed similar issues, or is this something specific to my hardware setup?
