Hi there!
I've got an old S4 Active I want to turn into a dashcam.
I've played around with Tasker a bit to make the phone wake up when it gets a charge, open up the camera app but I can't find the setting that turns on the recording...
Is there a special command I can put in Tasker to make it start recording and stop when it loses the charge?
Thanks!

Hi,
I do a lot of biking on trails on weekend. To record the trip and trails, I use my Tilt video capability. Only problem is, I have to have the screen on to record and this kills the battery. Is there a way to record videos on the tilt with the screen off?
Thanks
Any idea guys?
Hi anyone know how to do this?
Can someone make a patch for this?
U can use freeware like Screen Switch, it turns of the display only. Google for it.
Well I have been playing around with a TON of apps on the watch over the last few days and have stumbled across what looks like a security feature when trying to shoot video, look below:

Something else strange is that with every app the camera makes the same shutter sound, even with the sound mode off on the app.
I know there is a way now to turn the shutter sound completely off, I just found it very odd that the sound would continue to play even in 3rd party apps with the noise turned off.
Anyone find a good camera to use with the watch that will get around the 15sec file limit? Not looking to max the memory out with a single recording, but something in the 20-30sec range would be nice.
Hi,
I'm often using my Note 3 as multifunction car device - camera recording, bluetooth music streaming, recording GPS track and running navigation - all at the same time while the screen is on... Problem is, when I get a text or mail, I don't get notification on Gear - because my Note 3 is having screen on. Is there any way to change it? I want to see navi app on Note 3 and get my notifications on my wrist...
Perhaps a fake "screen off" process?

I don't think so.
Hello. I have encountered a weird problem, when trying to record 1080 or higher resolution video. From time to time video recording stops after 4:01 min of recording if screen timeout is set to two min, and stops after 2:16 if timeout is set to 15 sec.
Interesting thing, If I set screen to always on, the camera doesn't stop recording. So, the camera app obviously shuts down after two minutes of filming not being able to hold the screen on.
Did someone fell in such a problem and knows the reason of it?
One more thing, if wifi is enabled, video recording doesn't stop, even if screen off is set. Tested many times. Stock rom and exkernel
Hi,
As we all know, on default Huawei's Camera apk it's not possible to record the video with the screen turned off (if you start recording and press lock key, recording will stop).
Is there any mod or any other possibility which will alow recording with the screen turned off?
I would like to use my phone as a "dash" camera while I'm riding a scooter. In that case, recording with the screen on is completely unnecessary and it's draining the battery.
I know that there are some apks which can record the video with the screen off, but the quality of the video is poor comparing with the original Camera apk.
Hope to hear some good advice,
Regards.
you found a way ?
Unfortunately no.
