30fps Video Record?

Is there a way or tweak to get the camera to record at VGA or WVGA @ 30fps? I have a 14 month old daughter and im constantly taking pics of her for the familly ect and noticed that when recording video the framerate is very laggy or slow motion like. The iphone 3gs records great video quality and the N1 has better specs so id assume higher frame rate on record is possible with the N1 also.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thx Guys!

People trip me out some time with there smart remarks.
If you like carrying around multi devices good for you. I have a stand alone camera that does video record ect but my camera is not ALLWAYS on me.
The same way the Nexus is good for multi media such as mp3 / and watching videos but I dont go buy a PSP or ipod touch for that I use my phone. The point of the high end phones these days is to try to limit carrying multi devices on you at all time.
With all the hacking / ports / tweaks going on just wanted to know if 30fps video record was possible. If you dont know how or dont know what im talking about please do reply with BS. Thanks.

i don't think he was in a bs kinda tone. hard to tell on forums
you'll thank yourself later for using a higher quality camera (dedicated camera) of any kind for videos one day. proud parent here, know whatcha mean about wanting to capture the cool 'new' moments.
now then, as far as recording, i'll bet there are settings you can change for it someday. right now the video quality is pretty darn good. just dumped a couple of videos from mine today. frame rate is quite good, picture clarity good, fps decent.
IF YOU FIND an app or way to up the settings, PLEASE update this thread in your original post.

Yeah, Im not trying to come off negative to anyone. I have a decent standalone camera that can take great pics and video a 10mpiexel cam with ful vga record. With phones tho its so MUCH MUCH MUCH more conveient to beable to snap a picture and have that picture allready able to send as MMS / Email / Up Load to facebook ect...
With the standalone camera I have to take mem card out - load to card reader - copy pics to mem card on my nexus - ect...
Just too many steps. When I had an iphone 3gs for a lmited time I was amazed at the video recording quality from a cell phone.
Now with the nexus with specs better then iphone I dont see why we cant get full 30fps at WVGA or VGA res. With 1ghz CPU and 5mpxl that should be possible right out the box. Seems like its definetly possible and im all for the ability to carry less devices.

it would be great if we could get 30 fps on the nexus. my under powered n97 does 30 fps and its video quality is a step up from my nexus for sure. kinda disappoints me that the video quality isn't just as good as my previous phones.

the moto droid (with lower specs) can do 30fps with some hacking... im sure its some setting in the rom that we can change
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/19647-increase-camera-video-quality.html

HTC Desire with similar hardware does 30fps.
I don't know if it's HW or SW limitation, though. Did anyone try to record video on Desire ROM and can verify the actual fps?

Well, the Desire ROM allows for WGVA recording. I do not know about all the fps stuff, but I do know that I am recording in WGVA.

You should be able to by modifying the camera driver in the kernel and the build.prop. I'll look into this when I have the time, but I found the line that should control frame rate. A commit says that not all cameras are stable at 30fps, but how's that ever stopped us?

Poor video quality...

Hey guys, Are any of you experiancing really poor video results? If i hole the camera still the video quality is just fine, but big time problems happen when i move the camera. The upper portion of the video start to have lines of pixelation that almost deems the camera unusable. Its not satisfying at all to watch these videos. Really disapointed. Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Check out how pixelated this gets when moving around. And this is not even close to the worst that ive seen with it so far. Youll have to cops and paste as the forum doesn not allow new users to insert direct links.

This one is even worse..... really sorry bout the gross dirsty dishes guys!
youtube.com/watch?v=OjcflxUkX6o

You've probably got it set to FULL HD, right? I've not really paid that much attention to what happens when moving the camera... This is probably an issue with all cameras of this type.. it's just not going to produce the same results as pro quality gear :-/

I had the same results on all resolution settings.
I have a 32g class 10 card..... but also tried recording straight to the phone... all with the same results.

Get something like a GoPro for recording your street races! '92 Hatch
j/k If your looking for good video / pic quality HTC wouldn't be the way to go. I know they're getting better, but they're not there yet.

It feels more like a softwar bug more than anything else, like the camera is trying to do way to much adjusting to light levels when you move it. I wish there was like just a way to turn light adjustments off. Disclaimer... i have no idea what I am talking about.

Video Recording etc,

Hey guys, been watching a few videos on the Nexus 4 now and one thing that has really impressed me so far is the video recording, and more specifically the microphone when recording.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IZIG-YnLhE
Just thought I'd shove this video here, im sure some of you have seen it already but is it just me or is the microphone really clear?
Im currently using the iPhone 4s and the microphone isn't as good as this. The video is a little shaky but I'm sure if mounted on a tri-pod (with an adapter of course) it should work fine.
Edit, then again, this video says otherwise.. http://youtu.be/M4CbYXKxj6I

The microphone is average, but the frame rate overwhelms it on the negative side.

Can anyone mod a 30fps video or is the problem of 22fps , in the sensor itself ?

The sensor IS capable of 30fps (even more). Software isn't taking full advantage of the sensor. Maybe on a more recent build the problem is already fixed, but no one on more recent builds posted an unedited video

Wat sensor does it have?

I take my Atrix 2 as a benchmark, and since it's a phone from end-2011, for progress' sake, the N4 should beat it hands down.
Sound-wise, the Atrix 2 does near camcorder-quality and beats the N4 by a long shot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ii2Q7FJ5bA
Image-wise, the N4 looks good. Remember that youtube videos are often compressed badly and stutter on their own. It is sharp and there's plenty of details, judging from the op's second link, but the framerate is poor. My Atrix2's recording frame rate is always 30 fps, and image quality is just a tad worse.
So may I ask google, is it that difficult to do, with top-notch hardware, what motorola did 1 year ago with now-outdated chips?

Doesn't youtube cap videos at 30fps?

Nope, It reinterprets higher framerates into 30frames, unless the slowmotion effect is going to be employed, in which case it keeps the extra frames. What looks to be the problem is the recording refresh rate. The output of the codec file is always going to be a standard (24/30 in NTSC, 25 in PAL), whether or not there are actual frames there, is determined by the refresh rate.
My point is that youtube isn't going to reinterpret the video and change the framerate.

What is wrong with the FPS?
This phone just gets worse :\

Im more interested in the mic. In some videos its decent, others its terrible?
The video looks fine, stop complaining. Do I have to go on about the price like everyone does?
This is going to be a hard week, I have to use an iPhone, sold my SGS2 ):

No, it doesn't.
You can go on about the price, but you'll still be wrong, since other devices at a lot of pricing ranges are able to maintain 30fps video recording.
And since not everyone is able to buy from the Google Market (there's a thing called "rest of the world"), and price outside is REALLY higher, you'll be double wrong.
As said a lot around, seems to be a software bug, making the camera module basically "take a lot of photos" instead of "making a video". The camera itself IS able to do [email protected] and [email protected] The S4 processor and 2GB of RAM are more than capable of dealing with the support necessary.
Google/LG are likely to NOT fix it, but I hope someday the community here manages to.

Is it recorded in 1080p? If so I think it will look smooth in 720p.

Bet you lots of money that it's fixed on launch day - producing 30FPS videos like a champ. NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A FINAL VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE. And judging by the performance increase within the last few days on at least one N4 device, I'm going take an educated guess and say that Google are releasing software updates once every 2 or 3 days before the launch and my honest opinion is that Google are impairing things on purpose so that no one from the company runs off with a device and chucks it on eBay for quad profit.

Well, I'm putting a few chips here. I sincerely hope you win, but I think the chances are abysmal that they care about such "secondary" stuff. They fixed the S4, I saw that benchmark. But no one commented about a camera fix.

HTC ONE Laggy low light video recording.

Hello everyone,
I've been looking for low light video tests of the HTC ONE on youtube for quite a while and I noticed that most of the low light videos are laggy, like 20fps.
I have contacted HTC support and they told me that no customer has ever reported such an issue, so they are not aware of this.
I currently do not own this phone but I am looking forward to buy it.
If anyone of you can take a "laggy" video and send it to htc it would be great.
http://www.htc.com/www/contact/email/
If the issue has been fixed in a software update, which I don't seem to find any information about, please tell me.
If anyone has sent a ticket to HTC, please post a reply.

Hello,
I did send them an inciendiary email a few days ago. Still waiting on a reply from them.
How can they say no one reported it ? I'm pretty sure some people in these thread did :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259124
Anyway, all report the lag, time they fix this crap so we can use our phone the way it's supposed to. There's already enough problem with focus as it is, we don't need no stinky laggy videos.

It's just different companies prioritizing different things. The One tries to get in enough light regardless of what it has to do, and that means fluctuating frame rates in low light video. The S3, S4 and Lumia do different things in where they force 30FPS, but in return you get much less light in, making the video darker. But the phone is still plenty new, and we can all hope that HTC would give us an option for what we want, shutter speed priority mode please

v1,27 wasn't so laggy like v1,29 atm. I think they can do it better, but it's ok for me.

Lumia 920 does the same job at 30fps. The Galaxy S4 and the iPhone have an inferior sensor.

Thank you for the link to the thread that already covers this topic. We do not need two threads about this.

Surely just change the exposure?

Can't. Exposure settings are ignored in video mode. Which you would have learned if you had read the other thread. The one that the OP should have also read before starting this one.

Does the iso setting affect video quality/framerate in any way?

Lag when viewing 60 fps video 1080p

The preview of the video is lagging terribly, i hadn't noticed this before.
The output video is fine but the preview is about 10 fps

Haven't made any major changes.

Yeah, I've just noticed it too. It's a horrible glitchy mess when recording. Tbh I'm massively disappointed in this phone. I use 60fps a lot (the kids do lots of sport) and my old S7 had none of this. The lack of AOD notifications (other than SMS and calls), the not that great battery life, the terrible Bluetooth call quality, the occasional stuttering when scrolling and the shear mad size and weight of the phone means it's going. I've had enough.

Can i just ask, are you rooted? Running any mods? Anything they may have an impact ?
I am. rooted and my wife isn't and hers is flawless, not only that but my phone is also perfect at 60fps video when it was pure stock.. I just don't like stock.
Not sure what to do but I'm about to install 131, I'm assuming it'll probably fix it.

No, it's totally stock, the stuttering nightmare that it is. Worst of all though is the Bluetooth call quality on any connection (car, earpiece, headphones). Hideous to the point of unusable. I'm having to revert to using the loudspeaker (I often use my PC while talking). It's also a flipping brick of a phone. So much heavier than it needs to be.
The only thing I can think is that it I used the PhoneClone app on initial setup to pull a lot of my apps and data from an S7 to the P20 Pro. Maybe this causes issues but I've not seen anything anywhere.
BTW, nice avatar. I'm a season ticket holder.

Ahha nice one im born n bred mate.
Havent had an issue on call quality, I've also just installed the lineage ROM, its superb.
Camera is decent too, no issues up til now.

I've just mada a 60fps recording and everything is smooth as butter. No problems at all. I'm on 131. (when I was in 128 I had no problems at all as well.)

Ah that's a great help pal, I feel better now :good:
I'm also on 131, and was on 128, it's affecting some people, not all, my wife has the phone, doesn't happen to her.

Mine is gr8 no lagging issues from 110 to now 130
All works fine no lag

By the way this is best battery phone i have ever used.. I'am on 130 now it's impressive
I got 12 hours of heavily usage with this phone(games mainly.. Social apps .. Camera..) and wonder what i put it for charging while it's around 10%

Are you referring to the camera in 60fps?
I know that most people don't have an issue, I wanted to hear from people who do

It is due to a software problem. Cause when you lower the screen resolution to 720p. If you turn on smart resolution or the hd+ resolution the problem fades. Someone kindly point this out to Huawei. My model no EML-AL00 P20 i brought from china

Yep found this out a while ago

U need turn your phone screen resolution to maximum FHD+ after try 60 fps
