Choppy video recording - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I've been plauged by this issue and still haven't found a fix...
Recording any videos with the stock camera app, either 4k or 1080p, and attempting to play them back in either the stock camera app or in google photos, the videos are horrendously choppy. But playing them back in a different program like ES File Explorer, them seem to work OK (4k still has some dropped frames).
I am running 5.1.1 tmobile. I have already attempted a factory reset and reflash but it didn't help at all. Any ideas?

Is this what you are experiencing?

If so, the hardware is defective and you should get it replaced asap.

I'm not quite sure if it's the same issue...When I play back the videos using a different app like QuickPic they seem to be OK. Just Google Photos and the google camera app are laggy when playing back videos.

[Q] Timeshift video

Hi, I'm not sure why and since when but my timeshift video (the slow motion camera add-on) is not working properly.
When I finish recording the video it simply saves the 120f video without letting me choosing the part I want to slow.
It's like capturing regular video but in 120f.
I searched for the apk installed maybe to clear data but found out there is no app installed on my device called that (I only have timeshift burst, not video)
Do you guys have timeshift video apk installed on your device? if so do you mind uploading it? maybe it will fix it..
If not, does anyone have a guess what might causes this and how to fix it?
Thanks alot,
Jordan.
On 5.1.1 I was having the same problem until I found out the app called "Video Editor" (the icon is orange movie clipboard thingy) is REQUIRED to edit and save edited video.
Mine was disabled in settings by me, so see if you did the same. If yes, enable the app back and I'm pretty sure you'll have timeshift video working again.
way to go man! indeed a solution!

Can your P9 play high-framerate videos on YouTube app.

My P9 somehow can't play high-framerate videos on YouTube (720p60, 1080p60).
So it decide to play best quality that is available, 480p.
The problem seem to cause by high-framerate since it play 720p30, 1080p30 just fine.
I ask others for the problem and some of them doesn't have the issues (some of them does).
Even we're running on the same P9 firmware version EVA-L19C636B168 and on the same YouTube version 11.29.53.
Anyone found the issues?
Sorry for my bad English.
With the youtube app without problems, the video starts at 480 but after some seconds when it get buffer plays at 1080p
pd. May be is possible that you must open the youtube menu (3 vertical buttons at top right) and select 1080p (or auto) in quality option.
There are no 720p60, 1080p60 in the quality option.
I also turn off Limit HD on mobile data as well.

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!!

Google photos can't play 4k video longer than a minute

Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?
Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.
For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.
If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.
Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem
Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.
@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.
I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.
I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.
Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)
Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.

Video recording stops for seemingly no reason

Hi there:
I am on the most recent 11 Beta. But on the previous Beta, as well as stock 10, and still now I am having a problem with video recording. It will stop recording for no apparent reason. I video record while I am driving occasionally, like a black box, and the video will repeatedly just stop. It is NOT due to hitting 4GB file size. I am using stock camera app. I tried unistalling updates as I've seen suggested, no change. I've cleared cache, data, reinstalled latest version of camera app, rebooted...nothing works. I have video stabilization set to "on".
Anyone have any other suggestions? Thx!
