Video Recording constantly refocuses - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having issues recording video in 4k or regular 1080p? In the videos that I record you can hear the camera re focusing and its jumpy as hell.
Even when I shake my phone I hear a sound similar to the shutter adjusting.
I haven't dropped my phone or anything since I've gotten it. I'm starting to think I got a lemon. I can post a video so people can see what I'm talking about. Anyone else having issues?
I posted a video on youtube, I'm not moving the phone at all...

I noticed that there was a google camera update on the play store so I downloaded it and it still doing the same thing. I'm on my way to t mobile store now
Unfortunately, I live in a state that didn't get any units at any of the T Mobile stores

Just wanted to give an update. If anyone is having this issue, it's more than likely a hardware issue.
Tried downloading another app and it did the same thing. Definitely need to get it replaced ASAP.

I had the same issue and Motorola is sending me another phone.

I have the same issue, does yours do this all the time? Ive been trying to reproduce it and its stopped doing it now.
Edit - Mine now does it constantly, making recording video and taking photos impossible. Ive ordered a replacement.

Screen extreamly white/faded. UPDATED: included video

I saw another post from gamestop but I received mine from play store. And mine seems to be an extreamly bad case: see the picture. Barely useable since its so white. Anyone seen this problem / have any ideas? Also, has anyone had to get a replacement from the play store and have any information about it? Do you get a brand new one?
Edit: For everyone who think i edited it..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NkRSP2aKQI&feature=youtu.be

That is probably just from the camera moving while taking the picture. I've seen at least one other user with a screen that bad. So it may be real.
Mine was looked white and faded at first, however nothing remotely that bad. After about 3 days it seemed to get better. Though it seems most times when I play a video it gets white and faded again, but goes away a few seconds after leaving the video app.
But something that bad, I'm not sure if that'll look normal after a few days or not.

I really dont know why the screen doesnt line up, maybe i was holding it at an angle or something, but its legit just watch the vid
I wonder what would happen if you play a video, like the Transformers movie. My screen gets worse after playing videos, but then clears up (though never really looks completely good).

Same thing happens regardless of what im doing. After like 5 minutes of staying on it will only half as bad, but whenever i turn the screen off for more than 2 minutes it goes back to this
So same thing just started affecting me today. First let me start out that I've had 0 issues until today. Went to try one of the root kits and got my N7 rooted updated SU and restarted now its washed out just like whats shown by OP. Could be coincidence who knows. Is this a common defect that takes time to occur?
I bought mine on Monday from office depot. It was great until Thursday morning when it started this exact problem. I'm going back to office depot to exchange it tomorrow. My mom bought one from the Google play store and she hasn't had any of these problems.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
That is defective. Exchange it.
Same problem here. It was fine since I got it and now the screen is all washed out.
search for the thread of "screen burn in + washed out", you will find more information on RMA there. I had the same issue and received my replacement in 4 days. the left side of the screen is still a bit lifted on the new one, but that is nothing compared to white out screen.

Yes, it's WiFi only, but the update doesn't take very long to download. The update took about 10 minutes to install.
Just read the patch notes and it says it has brought some improvements to the camera, I am going to take some before and after pictures and some other people should do the same!

Looking at them I see a big difference... reduction in "noise", and sharper (I blew them up on my big fancy LED monitor).

My AnTuTu scores jumped 400 points with this update
Seems to have fixed some performance issues I was having with a few games.
My Antutu scores actually went down by 200.

I am installing it now. I ran a benchmark before I installed this update.. we will see how it does after. I am excited that we are actually getting updates for the phone, now only if JB could be here! ...and root
Will this update make root harder to obtain? And will it make everything that has been done up to now pretty much useless? Just things I was wondering..
EDIT: I have already noticed more RAM is available. The phone just seems snappier. Benchmark results were nearly identical (4804 before and 4802 after). HDR Mode is now an option in camera mode, and I've never seen that before. This update seems nice.
Hello.
Is it possible to update an unlocked AHD in germany (t-mobile)?
any body know what hdr mode in camera is? or why the slow motion doesnt seem to be slow motion in video recording

HDR I would assume is High Dynamic Range.. This short article sums it up well.

Which services did you disable? It seems that all the bloatware can now be disabled, which is also new if I'm not mistaken.

I could disable them previous to the update. as far as which ones I disabled, I mostly just said I don't like this one and paid attention to see that everything I wanted to still worked. So like ATT family map and crap like that

Chromecast restarting

I'm watching a media file on my Nexus 7 (Cyanogenmod) using LocalCast or a similiar app (doesn't matter which one) and after a random time period, Chomecast just restarts (?). At least it shows the spinning Chrome-icon and afterwards the default standby-wallpapers.
My router and wi-fi are fine, my tablet is fine.
Maybe it's the fault of my ROM, who knows. I just want to ask people how they fixed it if they had the same problem.

Does it happen for all videos, or only certain ones?
Also, is your Chromecast in an enclosed area or near a heat source (yes, the TV counts)?
It happened to mine too once in last week. I am using tablet z stock. And I was watching YouTube only. And for few days the YouTube app in chrome cast crashing random while watching.

If you aren't using wall power, highly recommend switching to it, at least to reduce variables. Also try factory reset in case some internal settings have become corrupt.
Wish there was a way to force re-update of firmware for stock but I don't know of any.

And if you start the casting from a PC or Laptop and use your phone/tablet to continue casting everything works fine until you switch off and on the Chromecast.

It shouldn't matter where the cast request comes from, but hey I've seen some strange things in my day so anything is possible.

Since I do not live in the US, I can't even use the warranty. I already have a plan how to swap out my Chromecast, but first it has to be released in my country, why should happing within the next two weeks. Apart from that I didn't have any luck getting the Chromecast to work as it should.

S5 going black and not responding

Any one else having the problem of the phone just going black an not responding to anything. Its happen twice the first time I had to take out battery the second time it restarted in 3 or so minutes.

Moved to AT&T GS5 Q&A Forum.
It does it nearly every time I try and play back a video that's saved on my SD card from my old S2. It turns black and is unresponsive for about a minute or two. It mostly does it using MX Player, but sometimes also using the stock video player and QuickPic video player. It's kinda embarrassing showing off videos on a brand new phone and it freezes up this much.
