Open up the camera and switch trouch the options, you'll find it

video recording, not photo
as far as i know it is somehow software limited to 320x240

OK, and at least is there any way to switch off thing which is slowering the camera? I think it is automatic white balance. My brother´s Asus P535 has the sport option, which disable autobalance and the camera is smoothly, no slowdown, but I am not sure if this is autobalace wchich cause slowdown, anyway I am sure you know what I am talking about.

you mean recording video not smooth in a little dark area or in a night ?
if that so same problem in my old touch dual dont know how to fix this

I dont think this is a problem, just there is missing the mod withount white balance, like P535 has. P535 has the same problem, but like I said, there is a sport mod, which is really fast.

i posts a lot about this ! but
i really dont like the recording in a dark craaaap
its like recording 5 frames per second or even lower
most if people record video in the night in a party or somthing , but what the point of video recorder if you cant record smoothly !!?!!
the p3600 record perfectly in a dark CIF size , mp4 , 12 to 13 frames per second

Like I said, it isnt bug literally. There just missing mod which disables image-enhancer software which is slowering device.

found this in Diamond Tweaks thread
To Enable 'Sport mode': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
To Enable 'Burst mode': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
To Enable 'Video Share': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1

what about the audio quality?
teh recorded sound is 8 khz and sounds poor.
i found some registry keys about the sample rate, but
has anyone changed the values with success?
i want chrystal clrear tone, like some voice memo apps.

found this
Go into registry
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/
and set
CapKeyDelayTime = 15 (old=1500)
CaptureTimer = 50 (old=5000)
it make the camera take picture in no time so you dont need to worry about moving your hand in dark area

Thank you very much for these tweak. I seldom get blurry pictures now even in low light condition.

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
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SonyEricsson\Camera]
"PROPERTY_MAX_MMS_LENGTH" = dword:0
"PROPERTY_MAX_MMS_SIZE" = dword:95D97

Try BsB tweaks 1.6 it has an option to increase video bitrate. If this post helped press thanks.

ok,does it works on windows 6.1? and is it good to change to mpeg4 recording? what settings you used? would you please upload a video to see the difference?

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.

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

B361 bug - low resolution 720p don't work

After upgrade nougat L19c185b361 . the function of reduce power consume - low resolution 720p don't work after i do sticked on the button .
Anyone know this bug ? Or did i wrong manipulate ?
Thanks

probably obvious but I will ask anyway, have you tried rebooting since turning that setting on?

I already rebooted after setting it on. But no effect.

Got question for you.... how do you know this is not working? I remember trying this out back on EMUI 4.1.1 and and on other phones and I generally dont see a difference between 1080p and 720p however, I did see a difference between qHD and 720p.
Also, lowering screen resolution helps with FPS in games but its been proven that it barely makes a difference in battery saving.

I suppose OP know the option is not working because he still can capture screenshot in 1080p.
In Marshmallow, ROG Power Saving option will make the system run at 720p at all time.
So, when you capture a screenshot or do screen recording, pictures and videos will be in 720p.
I've noticed, from OP's screenshot, the description is now changed to "Lower the screen resolution as required". I guess, in Nougat, resolution will only be lowered when the system determines it should be.
OP should try playing heavy 3D GPU-intensive games and see whether screen resolution changed to 720p.

I need someone who have devices running on nougat b360/361 to confirm this function ( 720p resolution) working like Marshmallow 6.0 or no.
Thanks

I am on B360 and for me this function doesn't work like it was on 6.0 (for example you can see the difference in size of Viber's stickers- in 6.0 when 720p is active, stickers are bigger. Also the apps icons are more grainy. That's not the case in 7.0 ).

It's working. When you launch an heavy app, the low resolution is active. I can see a difference in Clash Royale

Hmmm maybe it only applies for games? Kinda make sense since this is where the majority of power saving will come from if you take the wording "As required".

To be honest if it work only in 3D games its actually useless a bit.
I was changing resolution and DPI all the time with my older devices(only reason why i root my phones today) and even when you use browser or watch videos, changing res to 720 give HUGE battery boost. Actually when playing game beside performance boost, battery life is not that different compared to default 1080.
Im still in 6.0(Poland and Spain still dont have update to 7.0) and after changing res to 720 I can easily get 2 days of heavy video watch + browser and its still left with 15-25%. With default 1080 I could get maybe day and half before battery hit 15%
So if it change res only when launching "heavy app/game" beside performance boost it will not give much for battery. When I was sick few weeks ago I spend whole week playing with that setting so I have some comparison of how it work on P9.
Also to check your resolution you just need to look at "phone info" in settings or just install one of many small apps that check/change res of screen.

It's work on B361. See how the font resolution is changed. You must be blind not to see this right after press the button.

Same here. Worked with MM. Do not work with B378.

1: True.
2: Only rooted

Just tested with B378. Checked by screenshot(res of picture it take) and by app that check resolution(root is needed only for changing res, for checking it work without it), and also by looking at res info in settings->phone informations
I though maybe its work only if power saving mode is turned on? NOPE
Maybe it work only if Power Saving is on, and battery is bellow 50%? still NOPE
Maybe it work only with really, really heavy 3D games? NOPE
Maybe it need some additional setting like forcing GPU rendering in programming settings? NOPE
Maybe it need reset? NOPE tried everytime.
It doesnt even touch DPI, because via programming options->set minimal width I set it to 420DPI so Im allergic to any changes and I see if its different.
So overall, yeah, it doesnt work and need to be reported to Huawei. I will later do that but it would be better if more people do the same.

low res not working for me - B378

I get last post wrong. But anyway I send report to Huawei and I would recommend that to everyone else, so maybe they notice and fix it quicker.

Higher resolution while mirroring

My phone's resolution is 540×960 and my TV's resolution is 1080×1920. The picture looks extremely bad in the TV. Is there a way to get better quality in the TV? Also the response time is almost half second. Can I reduce it somehow? For video it's not much of a problem but for browsing and games, it's frustrating
Thanks in advance
Edit: I use ClockworkMod's "Screen Recording and Mirror" and "AllCast receiver"

There's an app called second screen on the play store. It lets you boot your device using another screen resolution. Root required. :good:

Only 144, 360 and 720p options available on YouTube , new note 9

Hi, I just bought a new note 9, and everything is fine except a few glitches and the biggest pain in the ass, the YouTube app. I've tried changing the phone resolution settings, going back to default setting and resetting the phone , but I'm unable to get more number of options in the YouTube app than 144, 360 and 720. Even 480 is not available for some reason
Please help.

I'm not a big YouTuber but I have noticed certain videos only let you select certain resolutions. My guess is it depends on the aspect ratio and quality and resolution of the original video. That's only my guess but on my Note 9 Snapdragon 6GB/128GB model using the stock YouTube application certain videos only allow me to select certain resolutions.
Try a video you are sure should be available at a higher res if you Havnt. Search 1080p test video on YouTube. If it won't work change phone res to max & retry then. Last of all check in developer menu and set "minimum width" to 411 and keep phone display at max then try. If not I'm lost. Give us as much info as you can. Maybe clear YouTube data & cache then try again, this will set YouTube back to factory/new state.

I'm able to get 144, 240, 360, 480, 720, 1080, and 1440. Stock AT&T Note 9, using max screen resolution.
