When I upload any video from the phone to sites like FB or Flickr they look awful. They look very choppy and low resolution with lots of artifacts. This never happened with my Galaxy Note or iPhone. What the video looked like in the phone when I played it back was what it looked like when uploaded, with minor quality degradation. With the One the videos look great when played back on the phone or saved and played on my computer. But as soon as they are uploaded to any website the quality looks really poor. Anyone else experience this?

When you've uploaded HD video with your previous phones are you sure you weren't connected to WiFi? You may just have to copy the video file directly to your computer and upload it from there.
According to the article below, video is converted to standard definition when uploading to FB on an iphone. The article was written about a year ago though.

I've always uploaded video files through Wifi only. The video looks worst than standard definition, really choppy. I can understand FB compressing the files, but why even on Flickr is the video so choppy looking. Is there something in the settings I'm missing?

Well if you can upload that same video to youtube in HD and you find the quality to your liking, at least that would narrow it down as a problem with the app itself and not the phone's firmware. I've never really paid attention to the video quality when uploading to facebook. This is simply because every FB video I recall watching on my newsfeed has been poor quality.
I assume you have a Pro account on Flickr? http://www.flickr.com/help/video/

Yep have a Pro account. Problem partially solved. I tried to upload my video through my Mac, but Flickr upload wouldn't recognize the files. WTF! They are in .mp4 format after being directly transferred from the phone to my Mac. So I decided to just rename and save the file as .avi, bingo Flickr recognized. After uploading it through my Mac the video is finally being displayed in HD quality. Weird. So for some strange reason the phone is compressing the videos to SD quality when uploaded through the phone, gotta find a work around for this. Totally kills it that the phone records beautiful HD videos but I can't share them in HD with others.

Ok did some experimenting. Same video uploaded to Flickr directly from the phone the quality is bad, but from my computer it's HD quality when it is uploaded to Flickr. Then I tried the same but this time uploaded the video using both methods to YouTube. Bang, both videos are in HD quality when they arrive on YouTube. So I guess the problem lies in the embedded Flickr uploader preloaded on the One. It is automatically compressing all videos to SD quality in the phone before uploading. Must be some kind of bug in the new firmware.
Also, it appears that you need to have a Pro account on Flickr to see videos in HD. Otherwise they show up in SD
I have this exact same problem with uploading videos to Facebook from my Nexus 4. The funny thing is the video on FB that I uploaded has an HD button on it but it doesn't change anything when it is lit. It looks like crap either way. Anyone find a solution? Waiting until I am at a desktop computer to transfer the files and them upload them from there is not the solution I am looking for.
Hello, I have CyanogenMOD nightlies on my 4X. It is totally no problem to fast take great pictures using Camera ZOOM FX, but I can't find some solution for video recording. The Cyanogen camera app is horrible and doesn't work at all. Pictures cannot be taken it freezes itself and video is in horrible quality even if FHD is selected. I tried a lot of stuff from Google Play, but it is not worth doing it. Is there any way to use original LG camera app in CMOD? Thanks alot!
There is a sample video recorded in HD, as you can see it is pretty laggy and sh*t quality.
Add this after youtube link to see video (without quotes) "/watch?v=Z5sHLFwLGBA"

im running cm10.1 with stock camera/video ,have a look at this see if it helps you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288917
Thank you guy. You have saved my life. I am wondering why search didin't show this thread.
Hey guy's.
i've recently installed snapchat on my htc one m7. and i started to test it out, but for some reason, when ever i want to record a video, the video becomes choppy, i dont know how to explain it but it looks like the frames drop the moment i start to record video and the quality becomes bad. you can even see the choppy frames once snapchat starts to playback your recorded segment, even if i send the video to someone, the playback on their phone is also choppy. i've tried other 3rd party apps. such as Instagram and it also does the same thing.
however recording using the normal camera app is just fine. no issue there..
i've tried testing to see if the issue is related to my CPU being overloaded but it doesn't seem to affect it that much and i don't have any unnecessary apps running in the background.
btw i am running a custom ROM but with stock kernel.
ROM name: Android Revolution HD 91.1 by mike1986
Android version: 5.0.2
HTC sense 6.0
Is anyone facing problems with Stories videos? Whenever I try to upload a video, from my gallery, the video lags SO MUCH...
And if I try to record a video directly in Instagram app, the video lags EVEN MORE.
The experience with this social network, in a whole, is a little bit crappy, with the Mi A2...
It's so sad, because I really love this phone, specially the camera.
Well, is anyone facing the same problem? Is there any fix?
Thanks in advance! <3
Same problem, only with GBintsa stories work fine
Same problem, but only video story.
I also have this issue and always had it with every Android smartphone I ever owned. I investigated a bit on the internet and read somewhere that Instagram handles the Android camera API in a ****ty way. I'm no expert but seemingly the difference is that iPhone always uses the same API or just some different version because there are not many models on Android however there are probably more than 1000 different camera APIs because there is a much bigger variety of models. In short: Instagram on Android is not very well optimized.
I had the same issue with my MI A2 i fixed it buy installing a previous version of the instagram app I had the go like 10 vesrion before to get it right though and i lost the gif feature in messages but let's hope the update wont have the same problem.
Instagram beta works fine for me
Edit: NO IT'S NOT!!
Also recording from stock camera app in 1080p 60fps and then posting as story is fine
I also had this kind of issue, which is also present in older device like Redmi Note 4 in MIUI. I don't know what make its bugged tho

You have to think that you don't have an iphone, and you don't record smooth video on instagram app. Record on camera app and share it on your story.
Also photos you sent on instagram are in very tiny resolution (dm)

Yes I know...
I think this is a decoder related thing.. because screenshots look bad, but photos taken from camera looks good. Any video other than 1080p 60 fps from stock camera looks stuttering; but it also has very bad sound quality... That's really fuktup xiaomi..
sound program

The problem with the sound program will solve Cinema FV-5.
Go to the sound settings and put a tick on the Disable Audio Automatic gain Control (AGC). The sound starts being processed by the application's algorithms.

Instagram stories are smooth on my mi a2 running android P with the latest instagram update. Last time i was on android 8.1, the latest version of instagram has the choppy stories problem. Try updating to android P.
It's been months and still my stories are 15 fps.... what a joke...
This crap needs to get fixed. No matter which account I the video is choppy/laggy. If i shoot video inside the app the review looks good. once it uploads it's laggy. If I save the video to my phone... it's choppy. If i have a video already on my phone and I upload it to stories to the normal feed... it's choppy AF.
I'm on 8.1 oreo with RAW enabled. This suuuucks
Can someone confirm that the videos are better or smoother in Android P?

YESS this also happened to me, im using redmi note 5 rn and the current rom is in miui 10 global stable
The solution is to install the older version of instagram. I'm from Brazil and I found this solution, if you want to solve it and see everything fast again use this version here: 51.0.0.20.85
Search google to download ...
Do not upgrade to the newer version, if it does not come back all over again.
Guys! I found the solution!! Try to use the
H.265/HEVC codec.

How can i do this?
Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?
Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.
For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.
If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.
Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem
Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.
@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.
I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.
I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.
Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)
Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.
