Is there a way of getting good performance from the video on the TyTN II, when there is "low light"?
For example, if I am outdoors during the day, video records brilliantly... very smooth. If I record in the house at night with the lights on, video recording is very very jittery (but sound is perfect).
I have found that if I gradually aim the camera towards the lights the video recording gets gradually better the more light that gets in to the camera.
Thats a pretty funny question.
shutter speed ?
I would imagine the camera is combining frames due to the lack of data from the low light, effectively reducing the frames per second but providing at least a viewable picture. This is probably by design and the alternative would be a great frames per second in low light but entirely useless dark video.
Adjusting the contrast in image properties allowed me to see more in a dark room, but the motion is still awful compared to daylight video. I don't believe there is any way around it, other than turn on a light. Maybe someone does know a way to just slightly tweak it to accomplish a better a compromise, though. Anyone?
daaaayyyuuumm dude...search!!!
(...for "camera video trick" and check the FOURTH result...)
The in-call screen + incoming calls show extremely low quality contact pictures. My Touch Pro did better
Anything we can do?
Today is Black Friday,Happy to everyone!What's the biggest harvest today?

Does anybody have this issue when recording a video in say a concert, night club or even your car with loud music on.. the video will playback fine.. however the audio will be really distorted and you can literally hear nothing but fuzz and base.
The Huawei p9 plus has been my first android phone from Apple in the last 4 years, and really like everything about it.. would be a shame if this was an issue that could not be resolved, i had read somewhere online it's due to the huawei having 2 microphones ...
Any help is appreciated
I'm sorry to disappoint you. While my Note 4 made pretty decent video recordings (sound wise) my P9+ is horrible and absolutely useless for recording live music. I haven't found a solution yet other than moving away from the music...about half a mile
My P9plus VIE L09 records audio WONDERFULLY ! It's almost on par with Nokia 808 Pureview, which is fantastic. Audio is recorded undistorted even if you put the smartphone against high levels of sound (close to a loudspeaker for example). I tested and it is really great.
Strange, very strange. I stopped using my P9+ in loud places because of the terrible audio quality. I had my device send in to a Huawei service center. They returned it saying nothing was wrong.
I added a file to demonstrate the distortion in a loud place. It's a zipped mp4 file.
P9plus recording @ over 100 dB
I put the phone at 10 cm in front of one loud (over 100 dB) loudspeaker(Studio monitor JBL LSR 4326) with top microphone to the tweeter and bottom to the woofer, centered in the middle on axis. I could easily go higher in level but already hurt my ears next to the speaker, it was very loud. There is absolutely no distortion. Recorded with stock Huawei's recorder (.mp4 16 bit 48KHz). Sound recorded on camera videos are the same (very clear, detailed and no, no distortion).
Phone stock firmware, VIE L09.

it is like a studio recording )
i will try live record thursday in studio (with my band) and upload here.
Yes, very good mics in P9plus. That song was a compressed mp3 and speakers yelling loud but recording is good and not distorted. You can use your smartphone for interviews for example with very good results. Outdoor it picks up wind but as a trick you can wrap the smartphone in one microfiber cloth and, voila, wind removal (only for audio, not video)
@raduverdes, sound distortion in concerts is very often related to bass levels. Your track contains almost no low-mid and bass, it's mid's an high's and that's probably the reason why it sounds good. In the EW&F track is a lot of bass and combined with the high volume the recordings on my p9+ sound very bad.
@Ce Your (very very short) sample recording is very saturated and distorted. I compared Huawei p9 plus mics with Nokia 808 Pureview (with it's Nokia rich recording technology, supporting sound pressure up to 140 dB according to Nokia) and Huawei keeps up very well against my 808 Pureview, almost as good. Nokia 808 is probably(i'd say, surely) the best audio recorder in the smartphone world so I'm very happy with output quality of Huawei P9 plus. Huawei supports very high levels of pressure without breaking a sweat, similarly to Nokia 808. Recordings are very clean and clear for a mobile phone.
I highly recommend you don't stay in very very very loud places if you want to keep your hearing. Don't listen to music (speakers /headphones) over 80-85 dB for long periods of time. I earn my living with my ears and probably the last thing I want is to go deaf.
You probably don't get better sound recording from a smartphone at the moment, it's way better than iPhone 6s, Samsung S7, LG G5, Xiaomi or whatever flagship smartphone, I listen to lots of audio samples on YouTube before purchasing my P9plus.
Sample recording P9plus @ Grado SR80e & Samsung Tab S 10.5
Here is a sample recording using Grado headphones feed by Samsung tablet (no amp but at max volume) ; stock recorder app, mp4, 128kbps, 48KHz. A little too much mids and highs, I know but you get the image. I think it's very good for a smartphone.
At 1:40 I received a message on my tablet
I made a video test recording at INSANE level (I think over 120 dB) very close to the speaker and yes, it's awful, distorted. I don't want to be in such loud place for sure. At 1-1,5 meters away (~105-110 dB sound level) recording is good, undistorted . So, I'd say Huawei P9plus is wonderful /good in normal to LOUD places and bad/unusable in INSANE, STUPID LOUD places. It's smart enough not recording stupid things.
Hi!
I'm very interested in this thread. I'm just trying to find a successor for my HTC M8, years ago the only android phone that could handle loud sound recordings.
I found this video of Huawei p9 (one of my favorites), and I really impressed about the quality (powerful bass by FunktionOne speakers)

BUT, reading your comments I'm not sure if this video is true, especially after watching this video of one of you. It's horrible!!!!!

Maybe some software update??? If someone can confirm that the quality of the first video it's true, tomorrow I'll buy the P9 :laugh:
Thanks!!!
Hello,
a few days ago I bought a new Xiaomi A2 4GB/32GB.
Mechanically everything is fine, but two things seem odd to me:
There is a, albeit quiet, noise coming from the display. In the notebookcheck.com review of the phone they say it uses PWM for brightness regulation at about 1100 Hertz, which is almost the frequency of the noise. It is not always there, but most of the time. I can hear it from about 15 centimeters from the phone.
The other thing is the vibration motor. While my former Redmi Note 5 produces a low hum, the motor in the a2 makes a much brighter sound. The problem I encountered is that it sounds like the device, or something in it, is even vibrating to the motor, which makes a hissing noise every time the motor engages.
Has anybody experienced similar issues with the A2? None of these are apparent on my Note 5.
Thank you for reading and your answers

Either you are very sensitive to those frequencies or your phone is broken as I can't hear any 1 kHz noise from the display

Maybe your phone is haunted ?
I am not sure about the noise from the phone, but I can feel the vibrator extra hiss than regular, Its coming from the camera side, when I try to place the phone on surface, on contact, the camera position side make kind of rattling noise, where some of the parts are loose or not fitted properly.
