I think that it's just fine when the outcome is good. You can try playing with it's setting to know what to use in low light settings .
Hit thanks if it helps. :fingers-crossed:

I know exactly what youre saying, mine does the same. OSD shows the speckles, as an old TV would or a picture with too-high ISO setting would, but the resulting pictures always turn out great quality without the speckles. Not sure what causes it, but doesnt bother me. I would guess the phone cant handle displaying a live UHD video supplied by the camera directly to the screen while still being able to have a fairly quick shutter speed so its downscaled to a lower display res. I have yet to try 3rd party camera apps, tho.

how did you manage to do that? what kind of ROM do you have?
Also, at the bottom, does both of speakers work or only one, the one on the right side?
tnx

There's only one speaker the other one is the mic.
Just use the YouTube app and on the settings select the video quality 2k, 4k etc.

It wont work cause the screen is only full hd.. you wont be able to select higher res.....

I was able to play a 4k sample video and on chrome and dolphin browser I was able to select 4k/2k as well, whether or not is 4k it's questionable but it is selectable.

Okay, from the native youtube app you would not be able to..,as for the browsers yeah that could work

4k video sample works too.

Video quality of posts in Facebook and Instagram

Hi,
Did anyone else has problems with pixelated video in social networks (fb, insta). And i'm not talking about my uploads... Every video i see has this issue. I'll try to get a screenshot or video edit of this also.

Same for me, only vidéos but all apps: Twitter Facebook and Instagram..

I've just bought my Huawei P20 Pro and video quality in facebook, instagram, even some youtube videos is really bad, pixelated. I compare to my iPhone 6 which I still have it and it is a 4 years older phone which runs them perfect on a smaller screen. There must be some trick with the resolution that Huawei must fix! Any info to share?

Bad audio and visual
This is the same for me. The quality of the sound is bad as well. I think someone said on here that Snapchat doesnt use the camera on android but "screen records" the video thats on the screen or something, But the sound should be good.
It is so bad its like using a camera from 20 years ago

Same Here, Any Fix for This?
I have the same issue, can anyone direct me to any link that could help me solve this? Thank you!

Have you downsized screen resolution or set it to automatic?
Settings - Display - Screen Resolution.

No, it is just the way the app is on android I am afraid. I have learned to take the video using the camera app then later post to Instagram
It's a shame this, something needs to be done. Surely 2018 Android can take good quality videos using Instagram and snapchat

My gf cant post videos made outside of Instagram, on her Iphone. Instagram just closes.
So maybe Instagram is the one to blame.

For me, I recorded a video in 4K resolution with H265 audio codec. I uploaded to Youtube and wait for a while, YouTube process the video in 1080p 60fps. OK, not bad. But when I uploaded it to FB, FB downsized it to 720p 30fps. That is terrible. It's not the problem with the phone. My LG V20 also have similar experience. It's the Youtube, FB and Instagram to be blamed for downsizing the video files for easier upload.

No, I can play 4K vids from Youtube quite sharply.

10bit HEVC Extreme Black Crush after using Camera App

Somthing I noticed a few times on my Note 9 was that some times my media files would play very dark. Now this would only happen with 10 bit Hevc files.
So I did some trouble shooting and found that whenever I start and exit the camera in "Photo" mode this would happen.
I have put a pic for a 10 bit hevc video paused on the phone, in both instances all settings are the same, the pic titled "No Black Crush" is before using the camera and the other after using the camera and exiting in Photo mode. From the pic we can see that one pic is significantly darker and details are lost (eg. White spots on the sign and some background stuff).
The only way to fix the black crush is to restart the device.
Would really appreciate if some one out there that is using an Exynos version and plays 10bit hevc videos on the phone would help in testing some stuff out.
Edit - Ok so I guess some more info is in order.
Device info - Note 9 Exynos (Model SM-N960F) on latest official build and NON ROOTED
To replicate issue download the video in the link (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QR-5JEWNOFI3nbvbLR_80Z7BgA37Dil_)
1. Restart phone
2. Play the video using stock video player (keeping Video Enhancer on makes noticing the bug easier as screen is brighter, Video Enhancer off should also work)
3. Open stock camera and make sure "Photo" mode is selected and then exit staying in "Photo" mode (switching camera modes wont let the bug show up.)
4. Play the clip again. BOOM everything is a dark mess.
5. Restart phone and play the clip again and everything looks clear again

does changing the the screen mode from adaptive display to amoled cinema or even basic help at all?
if you get inconsistent results then it would seem that is would have something to do with the "auto" nature of the display mode. moreover the ambient lighting in the room you are watching might also be a cause. adaptive brightness might produce different results and might be tied the the screen mode as described above.
so remove auto brightness and put screen mode to Amoled cinema or even basic if you really want to compare apples with apples.

Since I have been seeing this behaviour for some time now I have actually checked to see what was triggering it. Changing the screen mode does not help. Also in the pic I attached the brightness level is the same since adaptive brightness is off.
Now I understand where you are coming from but this is not a screen illumination issue. If I play a H264 file everything works fine no black crush even HEVC files which are not 10bit play correctly, the issue is only with 10bit HEVC files.
Oh and am not sure if you are aware as to what "black crush" is, it basically is the tendency of amoled panels to make dark areas so dark that u loose details in the video. In the pic I uploaded u can clearly see that one pic is significantly darker than the other even though all settings are kept exactly the same even the brightness levels are the same but dark areas appear much too dark when the bug is triggered.

Ok, so you are right. More info definitely needed so I have updated the original post with details on how to replicate the issue and have shared a clip as well that you can download and play using the stock video player.

Below mentioned steps should work to replicate the bug.
Testing to be done on Exynos version.
To replicate issue download the video from the link in the very first post
1. Restart phone
2. Play the video using stock video player (keeping Video Enhancer on makes noticing the bug easier as screen is brighter, Video Enhancer off should also work)
3. Open stock camera and make sure "Photo" mode is selected and then exit staying in "Photo" mode (switching camera modes wont let the bug show up.)

so i forgot before leaving for home to do the test while having access to an other phone taking a picture of both scenarios so that i could analyze both pictures. but by testing it right now doesn't seem to make any difference.( picture seems ok.) but i am using a custom rom and kernel and system is heavily modded so who knows that might have had an impact. also when you do switch from camera to video, do you remove the camera app from memory( remove it from recents? i left it and no change)
for what's it worth im on a july build...
ill try again tomorrow this time taking before and after pictures

Ahh so I should have mentioned. Am on July official build, non rooted (still have 2 months on the warranty). I guess rooting and a modified system would have an impact on the issue but thanks for testing out. Out of curiosity what is your setup? Which custom rom and kernel are u using and what extra addons if any.

Question Black level of youtube videos

Hi all, i just tried my tab S8 and when playing videos on youtube app, the black level of video is good. But when i press any button on the keyboard cover, the black level on the videos changed become more grey/ white. I have to close the video, and reopen the video to have normal black level on the video again. Anyone know what happened and how to resolve it? Many thanks

I have this EXACT SAME ISSUE, but with the Sling app on my tab S8+. Whenever I open the app and start a video stream, the picture looks greyed out. I have to hit the home button to minimize the picture, which forces the app to resize the video without stopping the stream. That clears it up. Then I can maximize the video for full screen and there is no problem. However anytime I stop the video stream for whatever reason, like for example to resize the window or change the channel, the video opens up greyed out again and I have to go through this entire process all over again. I have not been able to find a solution to this problem. Don't mean to thread jack but I believe that the problem the OP has with the you tube black levels is exactly what is happening in the sling app. So perhaps whatever fix someone has for the OP's issue can be applied to my issue. Thanks.

I just checked that using usb keyboard and looks like this is an app interface bug. The app uses keyboard to navigate through interface. When you press a button it greys out element that is currently chosen. Apparently video player window is one big element, that's why it is being greyed out.
P.s. looks like it is possible to fix that by minimizing video player and pressing arrow keys

I haven't tried yet on the Tab S8 but on the Tab S6 I had the exact same thing happen when using an external BT keyboard / mouse combo, so I would assume this is some kind of Youtube app bug. I think you can also exit out of the video so it goes popup and go back in. I was using Youtube Vanced now that I think about it.
