Sony Z - video - Camera Zoom Stutter/Judder

When I'm recording some fairly high speed 1080 video on my projector screen (say if I record a replay from my PS3 game F1 2012) the Sony Z camera Zoom seems to focus, refocus, focus, refocus all the bl00dy time. As a result the video ends up either a) blurry, or b) is filled with stutter/juddering crap...
Is there any way to fix this?????????????
I had it on 434 firmware, and still exists on the 253..

Change the focus mode ?

I wonder why the Sony Z needs the room well lit? My Projector is ultra bright and I'm close to the screen.
I changed the focus mode from face detect to fixed point and still does it..
None of my previous phones (HTC One X, iPhone 4S, SGS3, or Razr HD have done this.. Seems very strange IMO.
I'll post up a video on youtube tonight to demonstrate what is happening

Camcorder recording slow?

Hi xda community. I'm running android 4.2.2 (not the newest one) and using DoomKernel, rooted as well. I noticed today that I can't record videos. The videos freezes every 2 seconds and then it plays normal and then it freezes again. I don't know why is this happening. I used the original camera app and the Google Nexus Camera app and the videos are recorded in a very low FPS. Does anybody knows what's happening?

I wish i could have tried that. I decided to roll back to stock fw with stock kernel and relocked the bootloader. Everything is fine now

i had the same problem on the xperia p with cybershot...of course when i removed it the video player became smooth. in your case i think that your problem is about the custom rom...

i will list the problems experienced with SP:
i) low call volume on speaker. in noisy places i simply cant hearing anything.and i have perfect ears.
ii)apps frequently killed due to some RAM issues.This is the biggest problem with this phone I think walkman gets killed sometimes when opening chrome tabs on chrome X(
iii) for me, battery life is not as expected.

Will the battery drain?
I'm using sola now with JB rom drains 1~5% for a night.
Do you use ram booster or any apps killer?
I never heard people got this problem...
Low call volume?This is not important for me,i always use loudspeaker.
Does the loudspeaker loud?
How about the camera quality?
FHD video recording lag?

with loudspeaker call volume is fine.
nope i don't use any apps killer or something like that. but after this problem went annoying i installed supercharger script. it solved launcher redraw issue, but still could not solve apps getting killed without reason.
i don't use camera that much, the quality is good for me, but the pictures taken are having much noise. never recorded video at all

For the RAM issue, you can set a lower minfree value using SuperCharger V6, or you can use RAM Manager Pro and set to Hard Multitasking.
For me, I use lower minfrees and now I have no launcher redraws, and apps keep in memory for longer! :thumbup:

The loudspeaker is loud and clear and I dont experience battery drain unless using the wifi the camera IMO is kinda slow in taking pic and too saturated. The shutter sound is seriously loud.

I bought this phone this week and I'm happy with it.
I had Xperia X10 before.
For me the cons are:
- Only 1GB RAM (I can live with it)
- Camera pictures - low quality in low light conditions, noise (hope to be improved in the next update)
- Front camera resolution (I don't use this camera)
The battery drain depends on the ROMS and APPS you are using. Look good to me.
Never recorded video.
Games runs well.
GPS works fine.
Screen is good.
Performance is great.
Sound/volume is normal.
Illumination bar is nice.
No lag at all.
For a mid range device I think it's great. :good:

I am thinking of buying SP on EE network but unlocking the phone is a bit pricey, so I was wondering if rooting/installing custom rom will work with any SIM as most custom roms come unbranded.
Thanks

There is no touch problem for me at all (at least I don't feel any)
The SP is a great phone, you won't feel any difference between the SP and Z unless you are playing heavy games.

Bluetooth audio problem

Hey guyz i need to share my problem with you guyz.first of all i would like to say 136 firmware is the best till now but only there is one problem i am facing since i upgraded. Whenever i am playing the audio in my car audio system which have bluetooth functionality the audio gets broken sometime and it came again after few seconds but the thing is there is no problem when i am listening to the headphones or loud speaker, this problem only occurs while playing audio through bluetooth.
Plx guyz let me know if there is a solution for this issue
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app

If you don't have problem with other devices that mean is the Car Audio causing the problem, not the phone.

Dude i am not saying that i checked with other bluetooth devices. I jus said i checked with load speakers and headphone jack not with any bluetooth device except car sterio. And by the way it was working very good with 4.2.2 m using since 4 months

Flash the "Baseband" only from 4.2.2 on 4.3 with Flashtool.

Are you sure 4.2.2 baseband is related to this problem? And baseband will work in 4.3?

If I am not wrong Baseband is a package with all the radio frequency needed for the phone to work properly. BTW, you can flash back the baseband for 4.3 in the same way.

Downloade the right 4.2.2 FTF, the one where bluetooth was working, and via Flashtool exclude everything except Baseband and flash it on 4.3. It will work, this was confirmed by users with weak radio signals.

Thanks ill try it tomorrow again

Hi,
Did you have any issues with connecting your phone to the car audio and making handsfree calls on .290 and .136? Because when I got my phone (running 4.2.2 and .257) it worked ok. I was able to make and recieve calls through the bluetooth using the handsfree of my car audio. When I upgraded to .290 (and also .136) the car would pair with the audio but the handsfree facility did not work! I "downgraded" back to 4.2.2 (.257) and it now works again.. I was wondering if I could use the method that you used - i.e. flash .136 and then flash the baseband of .257.
Regards,
Alan

Why you asking this again, I already told you in other thread to flash the baseband, why you downgraded the whole System? If we confirming you it's working the question is useless.

I havnt tried using phone with my car sterio because i dun like to receive calls in ma car audio system..
But im sure it will work aftwr flashing old basebands

Hi eclyptos,
I just thought that I would ask the original poster.. As his issue was different to mine..as in his was a problem with streaming music.. Not a problem with the handsfree making phone calls via the car audio system
Sorry if I duplicated my question..

Alan

I think if you calibrate the sensors this can help. Type *#*#7378423#*#* on keyboard and calibrate all of them.

I cannot find the values in build.prop
I checked with the its not calibrating the sensor and showing me the -99 error

Whatsapp audio messages wtf?

Since I've updated on kk 4.4.4 the whatsapp audio messages are strange. It's sounds like I'm under water. My voice goes up and down.
How to fix this? Any idea
Thx
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app

i have this bug a long time with me, since the .757 version, i searched him a lot of times how to solve him and i don't found nothing, apparently is a bug on sony firmware that they keeped until this last version, my advice is for record the audio by the default android app, and not the default whatsapp recorder when you send an audio for someone, for me sounds a little better but still not 100% :highfive: , my hope was that this last update will solve this bug but apparently not :\, i have an C6943 and i don't know if i can update to the 4.4.4 cause apparently the ftf's released are only for the C6903, but the both models are actually the same thing, the only diference is that the c6943 have digital tv and radio(things that i don't give a shi* to lose), the rest is the same than c6903, i want to update D:

I had this problem on stock roms once again. At romaur I don't had this problem

Indeed, its a bug with stock ROM, CM and AOSP. Try to record your voice using any voice recorder and you'll see what I mean.

But I want to use the whatsapp recorder. It's very good quality with this
