This is something I could really use too....if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful !
talked with customer support, they are unsure why it records 25 mins. guess its time to dig into code and see what else there is. I did notice that with a different launcher installed, and set as default, the next day when i turn it on, it goes to stock launcher. must be something hard set after a cold boot to pick a defined set of defaults..

Thnask Jason
not a lot has been done in my off time besides work, did play around with more numbers in the sys folder, and a few in the camera apk itself, still always seems to go back to default after a sit overnight.
has anyone tried system/etc and then media_profiles.xml then changing the values and encoder profile quality.. duration then change it from 30 to whatever..
Its just the buffer size!

Ok,
just been on holiday with this camera and used it in battle so to speak.
What I found regarding the 25 mins time limit is that it is just refering to the amount of video it can deal with in one chunk before it has to process it and store it to the card.
If you tap on the stop button rather than just the pause button, the camera then tells to it is processing and storing to the card then, after a brief wait you can once again tapp the video button and you are good to go for another 25 mins.
The only limit I can see is the size of the storage card.
I hope this makes sense and answers your question.
Thank you so much for your kind reply ,
is there anyway any app can do none stop part auto to record like auto split kind of thing do you think ?
Thnx

Got to admit I hadn't thought about that.
Looks like I might have to do some research with that idea in mind.
There must be an app of some kind that could automate the process, hopefully someone out there will have some ideas too.

Sorry that I can't offer a solution (yet) but I am in the process of writing a video recording app, and I have recorded continuously for over an hour, so it isn't a hardware limitation.

Oh man! I would love to see this app and would gladly pay you for it! Do you need any beta testers because I would be totally game for that. I have noticed that the JB+ camera does not put a time limit on recording but I have no way to use the zoom and focus while doing so.
I just got the camera today in sort of a compromise. My wife needed a video recorder but I wanted a good camera for other things but mostly photographing student art work. I was looking at the QX10 and immediately saw the 2 GB recording limit and decided against it. I open up the camcorder today and see a 25 minute limit! AHHHHH!!!!! Anyway, I have unlimited recording but shoddy control using the JB+ camera.
I bought the Galaxy Camera for 328 and am really enjoying it so far, by the way! Great little piece of machinery.

Not really even at a beta stage yet - I am working on it, got the zoom goiing but haven't got the autofocus hooked up properly yet. The JB+ app may be the best hope as of now, but I'll keep you posted.

Glad to see you are still working on it. I wish I can help but programming is not my forte. I found another app that sort of works (not focus) as far as using the controls but recording doesn't finish right so it is broken. The app is Zoom Camera by Moulasoft.
If you need any graphics for the program let me know. That is one area that I can help with.
Currently running the Revolt Rom which have the gallery3d camera preinstalled. The problem is that it lags insanely much, very difficult to take good pictures when it lags.
I have also tried the ASOP camera which lagged a bit less, but the quality becomes worse.
What should I do?

Awesome! It is way better!
Wondering about the kernel you are using, is it good for battery life? I'm on stock right now.
Hm well the camera app is great but...I can't acces my gallery from within the app and if I switch to the front facing camera it lags and the video camera doesn't work either.

Well, I have none of those problems, so cannot really comment. I video Skype regularly with no issues whatsoever. My setup is as my sig says. The kernel is excellent, and allows voltage and clock control. You need to add it after applying any ROM since the ROM will usually bring its own kernel.
I use Juice Defender Ultimate, and Trickster to underclock and undervolt (max 1300MHz and 1050mA). A basic rule for battery life aside from this is to never leave your screen at over 40% brightness as it is the ultimate battery drain.

However, I would like to launch the "QuickPic" rather than the per-installed gallery after pressing the preview icon.
How can I set this action??
Hey guys， who knows is there any way to make the camera shooting longer, 15s is not enough in many circumstance.

I guess it is just question of time. Root will be needed. 15s restriction is set up because of limited internal storage and for avoiding of transfering big video files via BT to phone.
I'm currently loading up several different camera apps to see if they make a difference to get past it. I've tried a couple that did - but the video came out all bad. Trying some more and will let you know.

I was actually planning on building a camera app today to test out on the gear that will remove the time limit. I am thinking that I should have a storage overlay as well so that you know if you are running low on space. Will update when I have something to test.
I've decompiled and had a look at Samsung camera apk, but couldn't find any where to change it. I'm sure it's there, just not sure what I'm looking for

I've tested a few Camera apps - can say that a lot of them force closes or records weirdly. However, UCam Pro is working without the 15sec limitation:

Its free too.. not too bad of an app but a touch on the fiddly side.
thank you guys for the reply, hope some one can make a new camera apk which get rid of the time limitation!!

Can anyone suggest why I no longer get the camera shutter sound? It doesn't work with the stock camera app (I mean the one that comes with the ROM I'm using) or third party ones. I can't find any settings disabled.
I recently had a repair done at Samsung which involved replacing the motherboard. I didn't test every single setting and function when I got it back so am tempted to assume it is related to the repair but I could be wrong.
The camera is rooted and I'm using the Ultimate XXLT4 JB 4.1.2 v6
Thanks in advance

Camera shutter sound adendum
Has no one else come across this? Most posts about the shutter sound are about how to turn it off so I guess my problem is unique. I checked that the /system/media/audio/ui/shuter.ogg file is there. It is and I can play it manually with the stock music player. Other than that, I've no idea how to fix this. All othet system sounds and alerts sem to work ok.
I'm still hoping some expert out there can help.

Hello. When you mean you don't get a shutter sound, does that mean that in camera/setting/shutter sound already enabled but no sound? please note that music or notification volume level (I forgot which one) also play a part. If your volume level is 0 or very low, the sound will not be heard. This was a trick to eliminate shutter shound back in the days when the option to disable is not there.

Thanks for replying. This was the first thing I checked.
There's no option to enable/ disable shutter sound in the stock camera app I'm using and I imagine this is why so many people were asking how to disable the sound. Can't recall if I ever saw that in the settings menu. I also have an app called CameraPro which has an Enable Shutter Sound. This is enabled but , makes no difference. It's possible I'm using an older version of the stock cameras app but it seems to me this is not the cause as it makes no difference which camera app I use.
Thanks again.

Now both my camera apps have shutter sound enabled. Still don't know what happened since the previous version of the app worked fine before but that's often the way with computers: just happy to fix the problem in the end.

Is it me or is this weird? When I'm listening to music via native music app, Poweramp or Spotify and open the camera, it kills the music - whether it's playing on headphones, BT or just on the phone.
My SGS8 didn't (I don't think) and my son's iPhone 6S doesn't - much to his amusement.
Is there a workaround that anyone's found cos I've found nothing...?

I had a similar issue, was listening to music on Spotify and wanted to make a small video to send to my wife of where I am.
On pressing record it would run, audio in use.
Used WhatsApp video and sent direct and it was fine.
Potentially with that in mind, could be the p20 pro camera app.
Do you have any sounds on for your camera? Ie shutter sound, zoom audio, touch sounds? All these noises may override the audio being played from another app (music)

Hi dladz
Thanks for the reply. I've actually found the culprit - Audio Control.
Obviously the app mutes the handset in order to listen out for commands.
Toggle this off and I'm able to send videos that include my current soundtrack!
Thanks anyway buddy.

What setting is that, is it the one in the camera settings? I have it off and it still shuts off music when i start recording a video. This has been pissing me off for the longest time.

Yeah, just in settings on camera tab - as per the screenshot
I toggle it on when music's playing on Spotify and it cuts the audio so definitely the cause/solution on my phone... My camera is set to 'mute' also - could be a factor.

Yeah, i've tried those settings before both toggled on and off and 1 on 1 off too, still having the problem. I basically gave up on it thinking it maybe was something in android but seeing how it's actually working for you guys is pissing me off again. I even factory reset the phone once due to this.
Haha, sorry for pissing you off dude...

Bare in mind that you're using music and video at the same time, as I said in my post if one app is using audio then another can't.

The thing is i never used to have a problem streaming music through bluetooth to headphones for example and film a video with audio from the mic. It stopped working for me a long time ago but still annoys me, if i remember correctly it stopped working back when i had my P10 Plus.

Looks like that solved the problem, don't have bluetooth headphones here right now so can't test that but starting to record video is not killing Spotify for me anymore. Quite annoying to have to do this but at least it's an easy fix.

Aye that's what I'm saying.
It's the p 20 pro camera app.
Stumbled on it literally to you days ago.
You'll find that the WhatsApp camera works too as I said.
Some part of the app (cam) is taking total control over audio.
Turn off all audio features on the camera app perhaps.
Shutter sound etc.
Unless... It's the usage of video itself ie: the audio
In which case I'm not sure how to fix it
Edit: I need to read on more
Will read the link I guess.
Nice one

Anyway.
A more in-depth explanation of the switch, potentially for other apps too, I'd assume this can be done by editing a file.

But you can revoke the cameras power over audio focus.

No worries fella.
If you're interested it is the p20 pro camera app which is hogging focus.
If you check that post I made you can take it back.
Tbh I agree that with it pausing audio is a better option.
I just wish it resumed afterwards which apparently can be set as a parameter in the files that govern audio focus.
Might be with having a play about with it, personally I can't remember another phone I've had having this symptom.
Either way glad you're happy.
