I'm extremely disappointed right now in the GC2. I purchased this to replace my other point and shoot and to also record videos of my lectures in college. However, no matter what I do, it seems there is a set limit of 20 minutes for video recording.
Doesn't matter if I change from 1080p to 720p or save to memory or a 64GB microSD card, the limit remains. I formatted the microSD both FAT32 and exFAT and that doesn't change a thing.
This is quite ridiculous. Has anyone figured out how to get around that?

I've shot video at 640x480, 1280x720, and 1920x1080 on my D3 running stock, SteelDroid3, and SteelDroid 4.5. I've shot to internal eMMC, and to external 16gig SD. In *all* records (yes, even the low resolution ones), my videocamera drops about 1 or 2 frames every second. I have used other Android phones (Thunderbolt, and Droid Charge) that do *not* have this problem. This drives me crazy because I'm a video professional in the broadcast industry, and I have an eye for catching anything wrong with a video stream.
Is this normal for our D3 cam? Do any of the build.prob hacks or Atrix cam hacks fix this?
I have the same problem. Did you watch them on your phone or PC?
I received my new Tab S 8.4 LTE just this morning at work, I plugged in the power and fired up the bad boy.
After some quick setups and downloaded some apps, I went to test how the video looks. Took out my 128GB MicroSDXC from the Tab PRO 8.4 (yes, it works in my PRO), it has some high variable bit-rate short music videos I encoded with H264 + AAC (Variable 8Mbps - 40Mbps, 23.97 fps).
First, I used the built in player... and to my surprise.. the video is noticeably playing at a lower frame rate and audio is sliiightly out of sync. Not sure the right word for a video playing a lower frame rate, it is not jittery, not stuttery. I tried all the other videos, the same.... including the Samsung video in the internal storage, which showing ~14Mbps data rate.
I then tried MX Player with all H/W+ deoder switched on, same thing. Then I tried BSPlayer, also with Hardware acceleration, no good. I was disappointed. I searched this forum and googled but I only keep seeing people with micro stutters, but not the issue I'm looking for. Restarted the Tab S, same thing.
I don't understand... the videos are working fine in the PRO. I was thinking maybe QS800 is superior ?
Eventually I decided to just Factory Reset and redo the whole thing again, to see if that fixes it. And it did fix it. Videos are running as smooth as it should again, yay :laugh:
So in case anyone else having video frame rate issue, Factory Reset. Case Closed.
How do you test your video framerates?
That's what I was looking for earlier, but since I was at work, I couldn't look for long enough. Was hoping something like Fraps is available, but I just went ahead and Factory Reset it while I only had a few apps installed.
But the video frame rate issue was noticeable as long as you have watched the video with different means (Computer or another working tablet) to compare.
To check the video's original frame rate itself, and since I use MX Player, I just tap and hold the video file, then tap Properties. It shows frame rate, bit rate, video resolution, codec, etc.
Hi guys, I'm writing this to ask you guys a question. It seems like there is a cap to how long i can record my video on note 4. I was recording on 720p, and it records about 42 min to about 4 gb storage. is there a way I can record much longer? When I record on the highest quality setting i can only record 5 min.
did anyone find solution to this?

Sounds like your memory card is formatted for Fat32 which has a 4GB file size limit. Reformat the card in exFat should solve your problem.

If you recording 4k be careful. Using the mod posted above will yes get you a little more time but will also over heat your phone and shut it down. Plus with that much heat you will be tearing thru SD cards. It happened to me and no help in thread about issue.

Sorry for the late reply. Windows can format exfat. Do you have a USB adapter for the card?
I am thinking of transferring form an s8, and have a 252gb card in it.
this includes photos, videos, and music.
will the slow write/read speed affect usage of the memory card? or how does the slow speeds impact the phone?
Depends on the speed class of your memory card. If you are using a U1 card and you are used to the speed of it, then you shouldn't notice any difference. But if your card is U3 and above, and you are used to it being fast, then yes you will notice that large video or audio files will load a lot slower.

its a Class 10 and U3 256gb memory card from samsung.
i dont rly download much, so idk there. i put the media on the sd card when i got the s8 and thats pretty much it besides a few pictures i've taken. before that everything was on a usb stick since the note 5 didnt do memory cards.
just load slower? or playback affected as well, i have some FLAC audio.

I also have a 64gb U3 card from Samsung in my XZ2. I have a lot of hi-res FLAC audio inside (some of them nearly 200mb per file). You will notice during playback, the music will take 1 or 2 seconds extra time to load before it starts playing. Larger videos may take longer before it starts playing but I haven't tried video playback.

little lag to start doesnt sound too bad, was mostly worried the quality would degrade.
and all my larger vids are VR videos so wont be playing them on there anyways.
are you pretty happy with the xz2 besides that?
i doubt sony will fix it, pretty sure there is phones with the sd card/sim in the same slot that dont suffer this so lame excuse.

I would say i'm quite happy with the phone, especially its audio capability. It suits my taste, and I'm willing to live with the usb c to 3.5mm dongle. Would be nice if Sony fixed those microsd speeds though.
Anyone else experiencing frame drops at 4K 60? Like a random stutter or so whilst recording? Only seems to happen at 4K 60 but everything else is fine.
Are you saving to internal storage or SD Card?

I'm recording to Internal. I don't believe the phone allows recording to SD card with 4K 60.
