Vid Cam only in small resolution? - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
My Diamond2 used to take ok vids, but all of a sudden it will only record in 128x96
The setting for this is grayed out, so I can't tell it to use a better resolution.
I've tried fiddling with other settings to see if any of that would re-enable the option to shoot nice vids, so far no luck!
Any ideas (coz I havent got the faintest)?

I had the same problem and all I did was install Nadavi's new Camera Cab. Just do a search and you'll find it. This sorted the problem out.
Ok I'll install the cab, and tell you guys the results. Thanks for the reply :]
They're already set to play with tmcp.

Cam/Video request

I have made some canges to my carholder for the Touch Pro.
Before when it was in the carholder the camera lins was hidden. Now its not.
I'm looking for a program that uses the camera for video recording in sync with the gps.
I want to be able to record what's in front of me together with info like speed date and time.
I dont know if a program like this exits if not is it possible for someone with knowledge to make one perhaps?
=)

Have your tried http://qik.com ? I've recently tried program and its pretty good.
It streams video to online and also has GPS tracking.

Not quite what I was looking for. Let me try to draw you a picture of it. You all have seen cops yeah? You know the steady cam police cars have in the window that records what they are chasing. When you look at the recording it displays current speed, date, time etc.
something like that is what I'm looking for =)

Frame rate option in camera?

I've tried recording videos with both "normal" and "high" frame rate options, it doesn't seem to do anything, any ideas why it's there?
The info button says it's the rate at which videos are captured, so would that indicate if it works you'd get slow motion video?
i've been wonderin about that option myself....and changin it really doesnt seem to do anything at all...
There is a pretty clear difference.
However, the X1i is the only phone that has the difference.
It's not completely noticable on the Xperia, but if you play the video on the computer,
there will be a noticable difference in the framerate. Give it a shot!
just open files on advanced player and press PROPERTIES
Frame Rate: > 10fps or 24 fps
the problem is that the framerate goes down when the brightness is low..then the camera gets laggy in recording mode...so there has to be a setting that we can change the minimum frame rate
please developers HELP

I have no idea if it works on 6.1 because I don't use 6.1. The settings I used are the ones that improved camera and video quality to me they seemed like they worked I hardly use my camera and video anyway , I don't think the OP would put it improves camera and video quality if didn't. I'm not a bout to upload videos that's way to much of my time and effort when this is not my problem. Go ahead and install the cab and find out for yourself .
does i have to be carefull with this tweak,which settings i should change there?
my x1 quality is not that good...yours?

To start off if you are installing tweaks you always want to install them in the main phone memory unless the app says otherwise. I looked into what you were saying and made an interesting discovery the tweaks are not meant for the X1's camera. In the rom I'm using now I went to my multimedia folder and found separate camera and video software( most likely HD2 or rhodiums or HTC camera and video). I went into the software and found all the options the tweaks are supposed to unlock. The hidden video formats are H.263 and 4, 3GPP2, MPEG 4, and Motion JPEG. To my suprise the highest resolution is CIF(352x288). I tried all the video formats and all are very laggy the X1's video camera is way better. I only use BsB tweaks for the Power saving, Policies, SMS Wake Up, Gyph Cache and TCIP/IP Cache. The videos you posted look actually pretty good and the one where you were riding on the bike and past the man be pushed in a wagon made me laugh so hard
hehe these videos are just samples for good quality xperia x1 videos,i found on youtube. i dont made them. my quality is not that good i think. i installed the bsb tweak now on the main memory but really no changes (
highest resolution is CIF(352x288) i would like to see a video in that quality on xperia x1...is there any other good solution? at the moment i use vga,wide screen and endless focus
thx for help

Ya I seen a couple of your posts in different threads saying they are sample videos lol. Believe me when I say this it is very bad with CIF and it is not in fullscreen view mode, very laggy/ blurry when you move it's not even worth uploading a video to show it's that bad. Try macro focus instead of endless see if that improves anything. Also maybe overclocking your phone with more speed might give a better framerate also idk.
ok,i installed wimospeed..how much does i can push up the mhz that it doesnt influence the battery life

Your battery life is going to be the same regardless of the increase of mhz. Every Xperia is different so the results of how high you can push it is going to be different. Try 652 to start.
it doesnt influence the battery life?
Thats a pretty good tool...652,8mhz and its mainly faster but the frame rate in video recording seems to be the same or?
if you have some more usefull tools,let me know.
p.s. my homescreen etc.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SonyEricsson\Camera]

is there a chance to change the framerate???
when the light is bad,the framerate goes down :0(,maybe the developers have a solution
the same here
I have the same issue, it is a shame... nice phone, though

[Q] changing video resolution?

i have a feeling this is gonna be one of those "duh" questions, but here goes:
how can i change the resolution of videos that i shoot? either before or after, and on the phone?
recently, i've been shooting a lot of 3-4 minute videos (analysis of martial arts/athletic movements -- the phone does a great job of this by the way), and they are all in 1080p. which is great, and they look good on my tv, tablet, display, etc. but the files are also clocking in at 500MB-600MB! which kind of sucks for upload to Dropbox, and are too big/long for sending on WhatsApp, etc.
am i missing something? or will i have to do post-video editing on my PC before sending/uploading?
thx.
You can only adjust resolution settings in Manual Mode.

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.
