[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.

Im having the same issue

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.

4K video recording

Hello everyone, on my XZ2 I can't record 4K videos. Well, I can, but they stutter while recording, or even freeze up. Sometimes the phone then freezes up too. Some reviewer mentioned stuttering viewfinder while recording videos, but when playing back it stutters too. Only if I disable shake reduction and HDR I have a chance of recording relatively smooth video. Otherwise I experience massive frame drops. h264 or h265 don't seem to make a difference. I've also recorded to the internal memory to make sure it's not a slow SD card causing issues.
It's the first phone this has ever happened to me. LG G5? Smooth 4K. LG V20? Smooth too. Xiaomi Mi 6? Yep. Even with a Snapdragon 810 (!) did smooth videos (I think my Snapdragon 800 based Mi 3 was smoother using Open Camera...).
Basically: WTH?
Also the XZ2 keeps overheating when taking photos. As a result certain features are deactivated, or it even quits the camera.
Any tricks? Anyone else having issues? My phone is a marketing sample, so probably early in the production run, so that may cause the issues?

Same here on 4K recording. No overheat on camera yet. Just went on holiday and took 900+ pics with no issues. Decent quality too. Disappointed with 4K recording capability though.

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.

Jarring ultrawide 4k video

Strange enough, I've found only one person (below) other than me complaining about jarring ultrawide 4k videos recorded on S20 FE. I wonder if this is a hardware issue or a glitchy image stabilization that can be fixed via software update. Is anyone else having the same problem? Because of this, ultrawide 4k recording on my phone is pretty much useless.

I played with a demo unit at Best Buy. Although I was not able to move it freely, it didn't seem to have the issue. Mine may be just defective.

Are you recording to device or SD card?

To device. I noticed later that "video stabilization" was on in the settings when I recorded ultrawide 4k videos . I don't have the issue after turning it off, so I suppose the hardware is fine. EIS may not be optimized yet. Hopefully the upcoming One UI 3.0 update includes better EIS.

AUDIO DELAY IN VIDEO CAMERA ISSUE

My redmi 9's camera or video recorder sometimes does not sync up the audio and video. It got worse when i updated my phone to miui 12... The audios in the video recorded have a really high tendency to be not in sync and be corrupted.
Am I the only one who's facing this issue? Im using a 3/32 global variant of the redmi 9.

This happens to me too. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure of the reason for this issue. But I have two hypotheses:
1.- Maybe it happens because of lack of RAM
2.- Maybe it happens because of the illumination of the site you're recording. I suspect that when I try to record in a low-light environment, the camera automatically reduces its video framerate. When this happens probably, the audio records at a constant framerate, while the video records at a variable framerate, and, in consequence, causing this delay.
But, again. These are just hypotheses of mine. I tried downloading other camera apps, and the result is the same, but when I restart my phone and try to record on a well-illuminated area, I tend to see more fluidness and sync between audio and video.
Note: I'm also using the global version of Redmi 9 (3/32)

A friend of me have same issue with 32/3 gb version and in my opinion its the ram,he rooted and disabled much apps and in devloper settings sets max 4 apps running and then it works for some time,after minutes it start lagging until reboot and new settungs in devlooer options sadly the hardware in this variant is very poor,sadlyCheers!!!
