[Q] Instagram Video? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the latest firmware 14.3.A.0.757, but I can't seem to post an Instagram Video. I can't select any video from my stock gallery, can't record using the Instagram App itself, can't long press the camera button to record a video. Does anyone here got the same problem? Or instavid isn't really available for XZ1?

I had the same problem, but then after the Kit Kat update the problem went. Instagram for Android isnt as refined for video as it should be in my opinon

Ah well, It's the stupid update I guess. It didn't include the video function. So I just uninstalled and installed, wtf. Why did I think about that just now. hahaha Thanks though!! I got confirmation from you that video is working in our z1. So yea. Thank you again.

Camera Issue :(

I`ve installed CWM 12.1 on my s advance ...................... as it was written in that thread that video recording will have green band, so is there any app or trick to use video camera in normal mode
It's hardware video encoding what's broken, so if an app use software video encoding it will work but at lower quality

I think this is often offered: VivaVideo: Free Video Editor or VivaVideo Pro:Video Editor App
Camu it's supposed to work too.
Those are the most common mentioned...

cm12.1 fix Camera - Video recording
: flash this
www.goo.gl/lUkVot
you can try for yourself, but it litreally slowed down my camera , but yea video is recording . ,it replaced stock camera of my rom
I've read that it's not a real fix, it just replace the stock camera with camu...
I haven't tried, that's just what I've read
It's more like a workaround than a fix
yep ! you are right

If I'm not wrong you can install cyanogen camera from playstore.
You can also flash a Gapps package that includes Google camera to get it as default I guess...

[Q] Youtube issue

hi guys, I have a strange problem with youtube for a few days, pinch to zoom does not work anymore even if I had done that trick deleting cache of the phone, you also have this problem?
Last night the camera button also gave me to create a live video, no longer today, crazy youtube or my notes?
I have recently received an OTA, FEB. 686 mb, I have a youtube app prior to latest, pinch to zoom works, but only a very little zoom, and gif making is available

So you mean the latest youtube is buggy?
gif making is include in ota feb 686 ?
Gif making has been always been available, pinch to zoom too, the only differnce in my case is that I have not updated youtube since january

Perhaps we have misunderstood ourselves, I have never had problems about gif making and I do not understand why you are talking about this.
my problem is only youtube, can you kindly tell me which version of youtube are you using?
I understood fine, I was trying to say that MAYBE the combination of software update AND youtube version is what is not working well in your case, I am using youtube 13.03.58
The latest ver I was running was 13.01.53 & never had an issue with fit-to-screen/pinch-to-zoom. YT along with Maps are apps that I don't like to always update to the latest version when released. Buggy sometimes in my experience.
I'm currently running iYTPBP 12.49.55 with no issues either. I'll never go back to stock YT again.
Hello there! I have been having the EXACT problem as you. Go to the Play Store, then on the Youtube app page. Uninstall it. It will just uninstall the updates and stick to the version of the app that comes with the latest build of your phone. (Which is a very recent one). In this one, the Pinch to Zoom works normally.
Once a new update is out fixing this issue, just let the Play Store update your app as usual.
Regards
thanks guys, after the v suggestions, I did an experiment, I found an old version of youtube on the net, I uninstalled youtube updates and I installed the old version, the problem disappeared, after I updated youtube and now pinch to zoom works.
a mysterious thing, during these operations in the old version I appeared only once for a chance to make live video (streaming from the phone), but when I reopened the application was gone, youtube does not want to give us the streaming.
Good for you man! It is good to see when somebody has success fixing some issue!

Instagram Stories videos low framerate?

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?

Instagram Stories audio/video unsynchronized

Good morning guys,
I'm dealing with a very annoying issue with Instagram stories
For those who doesn't know, when we post a video with more than 15s, Instagram cut the video in 15s portions and post them in a sequence. Well, the fact is that when i'm doing this, the first segment is OK, synced audio and video. But the followings are always terrible, totally unsynced and the end of each segment's totally muted.
I've already tried all the alternatives, like using external apps, recording with camera app then uploading, but none of this actually worked
I've recently noticed that this issue's solved when I record using the codec H265 in native camera app, but the colors of the video changes a lot. I'm always having this trouble when I'm trying to record with Instagram app by itself.
I really don't know what to do by now, and I'm really (and saddly) thinking about returning the cellphone
Does anyone already heard about it?
Thank you in advance,

Did you reinstall the app? If not then uninstall and reinstall again and check.
I have the same issue, also with SnapChat..
I assumed this was an Instagram issue. I also get the failed by the third or fourth video in the story and no option to save it or reupload. Personally think it's the the terrible application developers for snap and Instagram, this phone is capable of amazing videos and photos and both those apps quickly ruin memories. It's beyond aggravating.
With mine aswell! This is super annoying. I pay so much money and can't even share stories?!
I should have never though buying Huawei...
Same issue here. The second and the following Instagram stories get out of sync. What could be causing it?
I also noticed the image on Instagram stories is very choppy.
I would appreciate any tip, as returning the phone is not an option.
anyone have a ugly grey filter on their videos on instagram its awful?!!!
Hey guys, are you still having the unsynchronized videos/audio in the 9.0.213 update?
I just recently started facing the same issue with my Instagram stories and chats , everytime I create a story or share a video through chat the audio ends before the video . It's so annoying , I've been using insta for years and that's never happened before !! It's the 21st century!!
