[Q] Snapchat video camera really sucks. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i got the HTC One m7, arhd 92.0 and elementalX kernel.
the snapchat video really sucks on every rom/kernel/android version or anything that i tried to change in order to make the problem dissapear.
the front facing camera works fine only when there is light, but when its dark its very laggy.
and the rear camera video is awful, so awful. its around 2 fps and very laggy and stuff.
I wonder if there's any solution for this problem?
I didn't manage to find the option to downgrade the video quality.
help would be greatly appriciated.

[Q] HTC One and blurry skype video calls

Hi guys,
Is it just me or you also noticed, that video calls coming from the rear/front camera area really blurry? Those are ridiculously blurry on 3g and still very blurry on Wifi.
It seems, like the image is completely out of focus and focusing does not work at all on the camera in skype?
Has anyone have sharp video coming on skype video calls from their rear/front camera?

I was gonna post about this as well. For a 2mp front camera (which is what lots and lots of standard laptops come with), the video call quality is atrocious!

It must be 4.2.2 firmware or something because after searching the HTC One forum I see others are having the same problem on other roms, I can't receive a call on Skype without it force closing on me it's very frustrating because I use Skype a lot.

Ok, months have passed and we have a new version of Skype, which is 4.4 and... Rear camera is still blurry, in video chats...
Front camera is sharp and beautiful, though.
Anyone else having the same problem?
I had a test video call from HTC One to my friends PC, and then from Lumia 920 to the same PC.
Voice on HTC One was great and video blurry, while on Lumia 920 the video was sharp and beautiful, while sound came out "tinny" and silent.
If only this issue was resolved...

Yeah mate I have exactly the same issue & it's driving me crazy. I have to switch to the front facing camera to get a clear picture, which is balls since I spend a lot to time showing stuff to people on Skype and flipping the phone over means I can't see what the hell they see. I was hoping the stock 4.3 update would fix the issue...nope still super blurry.
I seriously can't believe so few have noticed the issue...unless it's just us...
I have both n5 and htc one. Skype is always blurry here. Use it at home, on wifi. Wifi is good speed. Hangouts video calls blurry as well. Such a bummer.
Same issue here I was hoping for an update but nothing solves this problem. On top of that when you try to leave a video message the picture from both cameras comes out distorted.

[Q] Extreme stutter on front camera

Anyone else experiencing this?
Back camera is fine, but on Google camera, stock camera, camera apps like Snapchat- incredibly laggy front camera. Like 1-2 fps. Video and picture mode. Tried HDR on and off. Starting a video recording will kick it back into normalcy, but as soon as it ends recording, the preview goes back into stuttering. On Snapchat, the recording is stuttered.

My back camera is great. But when it comes to using the front-facing camera its absolutely awful. A few frames per second and relatively delayed. Very grainy as well. I got much better quality on my s4....
Exactly! But then sometimes it's perfectly fine. Can't find any specific reason for it. I did notice that the stuttering improved when I was in a bright environment...? I'm perplexed. Never had anything like this happen with the S3 I was using.

I've noticed the same thing. Front camera works fine with lots of light but the FPS drops to **** as soon as it gets a bit dark. Not even too dark to see, just not super bright. I think it should be able to get fixed in a software update. Wishful thinking at least.
Wait till 5.0 drops we will probably have to just deal with it till then
On my Moto Maxx XT1225 i had the same issue.
On kitkat and even now that I'm trying soak lollipop, very very laggy
Only happens on low light conditions.

[Q] Front facing camera solution?

Hey guys, i have issues with the front camera with low light, i tried Google Camera, Retrica, and the same? Is there a solution?

same here, when using things light snapchat or just the normal camera even in slightly low light it becomes very laggy. very odd!
I know what you're talking about. Use snapchat to click pictures from the front camera, doesn't lag at all.
I face lag issue

Snapchat Front Camera issues

Hey everyone every time I record with the front facing camera the audio always distorts, becomes unsynced with the video then stops while the video continues playing. Also makes distorted noises while recording but only with the front facing camera. The back camera audio works fine on snapchat however. Has anyone ever had this problem recently? Any advice is appreciated.

Mi9 camera issues - 1080p 30fps stabilized video recording freezing.

Hello people, I have my mi9 since 3 days and I really love it. It's a great phone, but today I found wierd bug in camera app. I recorded with 1080p 30fps with stabilization on. After few seconds of recording phone freezes, but audio recording is still going, after a while it resumes. Video like that is kinda unusable. What's more when I'm in camera app on video tab sometimes it freezes just on viewport, without even recording. Does anyone have similar issues? Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a link to bugged videos (I'm new so I can not use link tags yet, sorry for inconvinience):

This may be too late, but I had similar problems with the camera app freezing when image stabilization was enabled at 30fps. In the end I discovered that some sensors were not functioning at all (gyro, magnetic, light and compass); My guess is that at least first two feed info to the stabilization algorythm.
I managed in the end to solve the problem by flashing a xiaomi eu rom from twrp.
