Lets hope someone help us

um, contact Snapchat regarding this as it's obviously a bug with the app itself.

Noticed this too.... might have something to do with the dual camera setup maybe ;/
Sent from my EVA-L19 using XDA-Developers mobile app

It affects the front camera to, so it's not the dual camera setup that's bugging.

Just got this, yay?

Edit: Does not seem like it fixed the laggy videos issue and I don't know what late delivery issue they have mentioned in the change log. Can anyone confirm?

same problem , Huawei must works with snapchat to fix this problem is next update . specially when recording video in snapchat the video auto zoomed in and a lot of lag

Snapchat lagging
The same problem here, guys... I have P9 Lite.

Not that bad. But ain't the best. And it's not only on Huawei but most Android phones, if not all of them. It's Snapchat's problem.

that's because Snapchat isn't optimized for Kirin processors, I have the same problem on my p8 lite

This is not true. Snapchat works bad on Samsung/LG devices too... They are with Snapdragon. Snapchat is not optimized for any Android.

Yep, the whole app seems to be poorly made :/ The way all phones gets super hot as well, even though you're on a different page than camera. Like the cam is constantly active within the app. Wish they rebuilt the app completely

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnn damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Today is a big day, mark in on your calendar! Todays update finally doesn't zoom in when recording video, and the app is buttery smooth!!! Didn't expect this at all! ))

Did indeed fix it finally, waited to long for this. No more random focus issues either. App still a little laggy but there is improvement.

Shiz. You are right! I am running the Beta version of Snapchat and the video recording looks smooth, no zoom and doesnt suffer huge quality degredation.
Only negative, that I cant seem to resolve, is when recording a video the camera constantly refocuses every second or so. Anyone else have this, or fixed this issue?

The reason the quality is so bad on android compared to iOS, is because there are way fewer Apple devices than the thousands of android devices - meaning that they're able to optimise Snapchat for all of apples cameras. the way Snapchat do it on android isn't through direct capture - it's basically just an overlay of what the camera looks like. It would take quite a while to optimise Snapchat for all android phones - including the Huawei P# line.

Quick question. Please read :X

Ok, So the camera's 3.2 mega pixel and the video recorder records pretty low res.
Would it be possible to edit the recorder so that it can record higher res/better quality?
Or is there any apps or console commands to change this
Unfortunatly the camera is very poor and nothing will fix it. Thats all there is too it.
Ok, Well that didn't answer my question.
Any the camera isn't poor it works great, Its a bit crappy in low light but still it looks awesome and better then a 5mp camera phone from samsung.

I actually have to agree with this as I've had the G600 and that camera SUCKED no matter what PhoneArena says. I noticed i would only use the G1 for pictures so i got rid of the 600
I took a picture of my eye and then shooped the hell outta it. (I added alot of the spots and wrinkles :X)
This is a resized/croped version, Hell you can see the g1 reflection in my eye.

Ok you must not be able to read.
I'm not asking about quality of the camera.
Im asking if its at all possible to make video RECORDING better or higher res.
And what do you mean by nice fake?
If ur implying the pictures fake, Its not at all fake and was taken by my g1.
It depends alot on bandwidth of memory in the device. I dont know if it is possible right now to make a better/higer quality video recorder. If Google creates API's that take advantage of the full potential of the graphics chips we may get a better camcorder app.
I updated to hero and it seems to have a bit better video recording
but thats because of the codec it uses.

Seriously, read the freaking thread before saying something stupid.
As for the question, I'm sure a developer could create a new app for higher resolution video recorder because it has been done on other devices. Try requesting it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446769

Thanks.
!
post removed, misunderstood question
No, and the reason is:
A still camera has a longer exposure time and can dedicate more light overtime for each picture. A video has to a expose an image 30 times a second, so in order to expose properly the camera must take many pixels from the ccd and group them together as 1 pixel reducing image size for video. (I could be done by reducing FPS, but that will only go so far.)
And there is also issues with video format standards and the G1 ability to play back video to consider as well.
Heck, even my Canon 5D Mark II can only record video at 1/10th of the resolution it captures still images at. It does video at 1920x1080 or 2,073,600 pixels, whereas still images are captured at 5616x3744 or 21,026,304 pixels.
I think people expect far too much from a phone that has a camera that probably cost $15 to manufacture (the camera part - not the whole phone).
No I dont exspect it to do better i just wondering if it could.

Is there any possibility to improve the camera on OB?

all the pictures are blurry and the videos taken with the camera stops eventually for half a second (I guess this is because of the stock sdcard).
Is there any possibility to improve the camera performance to get clean pictures?
Thank you in advance,
Haitzo
I've no problem with my camera (good picture) or for video recording (except strange ration for 720p).
I think it's maybe your LG black who has defect ?
I agree with guyTam
I mean with not good light conditions, all the pictures are blurry. I have read the same problem on other users. The video issue is probably because of the stock sd card.

That's with all phone cameras. They only work in perfect conditions. Sensor is too small for quality photo taking. Maybe with some Carl Zeiss, yes, you will get some nice looking photos.
Does that happen when you take landscape photos or with closer objects too?
I had similar problems with video recording but since started to use NOVA ROM, I don't any more. I have stock SD card.
No problems taking photos to landscapes, just in interiors and night pictures. I am using Pays rom, do you recommend me using nova? I am reading the thread and I thinks is still a little bit buggy?
Thank you
They both work better than stock. Tried both, I like Nova ROM more because of longer (by a lot) battery life. I don't play games so I don't know if they perform different speed wise. There is some bug with SD card but that's all.
If there will be some update for camera app, it will be from LG in next update (I hope). I don't think that anyone else can make any tweaks for stock app. Maybe some other app with filters like unsharp mask in Photoshop could do the trick.

that's what i've noticed also... whenever i take videos and play them on the phone's video player, it looks fine, but when i transfer it to my laptop it looks kinda weird.
btw, the 5mp camera takes very nice stills. best one i had so far.
yeah because the lens sensor is too small; ƒ, shutter speed, can't be compared to real camera & the preview is only 4 inches resized to 800x480 obviously it looks good on phone, for excellent result you may not move/shake at all while taking a shot (if it possible, use a tripod). if the outdoor light is not enough... it can't be helped. ISO adjustment just makes your result even worse. here the example for outdoor shot from my phone:

You are perfectly right
the aspect ratio of the videos recorded needs to be fixed, im surprised that LG hasn't fixed this after so long.
would be epic if devs managed to fix this before LG does

I agree this one....the video format should be mp4.
I dont know what I did, But i just installed the stock rom after removing Nova. And surprisingly, the camera is taking awesome clicks. No speed lags for shutter/review. Aspect ratios seem fine for videos. And the video quality is amazingly improved.
Did someone just mention that Nova has better battery life ? What about pays ? hows the battery life on that ?

Wtf is google playing at 4.4.2 Problems

Just posted this in google forums as well...
Just got the update on my nexus 5...
Ok while it has fixed a few things like camera speed,vibration feedback etc there arw some things that have gone worse...
The camcorder is now extremely dark compared to the camera almost hardly visible when selecting video to record! And in quiet environments all i'm getting from sound recorded is hissing and static, please tell the devs to disable noise cancellation it's making a right mess of recorded audio!
One other thing i've noticed is 2 problems with the gallery app, first off there seems to be some sort of initial stutter when flicking through photos or scrolling that did not exist before on 4.4 and also theres an annoying delaying of a split second when tapping a photo to view full screen which didn't exist on 4.4 almost like the phone is struggling a bit when it shouldn't with the power of hardware that is in the phone, these did not exist in 4.4.

My experience with FOCAL recording videos at 120 fps. With a resolution of 1080p is video is useless (extremely pixelated) like you said, but I got better results by reducing the resolution to 720p. The only problem is that the audio is not synchronized (sounds at the beginning of the video at normal speed).
However this is the only app that works recording videos to a fps greater than 30.

Yes. This has been widely reported on the Samsung members forum too. Doesn't seem to affect Telegram. Guess you'll have to wait for an update either from WhatsApp or Samsung to fix this

This is more likely the issue than a system-level bug. As it's not present in Telegram, it's very likely that this bug is limited to WhatsApp. Have to live with it until the bug is sorted.
I think I have the same issue more or less. For me, there is a green line on the bottom of the video and the colors look weird. But it only happens if I send FHD videos on WhatsApp with 30/60 fps. If I send videos in UHD, everything is ok.
@nitinvaid do you have Exynos or Snapdragon?
Under options in WhatsApp you can change the compression that fixed the Problem on my device
I only have an option for Photo upload quality, not for video.

WhatsApp beta 2.21.14.6 has this option for video.
I didn't try it.
Thanks, I tried that version but no luck installing it. I reverted back to Android 11 and everything is fine and the phone is surprisingly smooth also. I have to say though, there is a night and day difference betweeen 11 and 12.

its something with whatsapp and their conversions. i remember this used to happen with pixel devices too some years ago. the quick fix is recording UHD videos. its only 1080p videos that experience this bug and the screen recordings.
another alternative is to edit the video in kinemaster or some app and export it to send it across, its painstaking, time consuming and really shouldnt be happening considering i reported this bug during the 1st beta time to whatsapp and samsung!
samsung got back to me saying even they notified the bug to whatsapp about it and a fix is underway.
i still didnt hear back from whatsapp though, and ive given up. id frankly use telegram more!
