Is it me or is this weird? When I'm listening to music via native music app, Poweramp or Spotify and open the camera, it kills the music - whether it's playing on headphones, BT or just on the phone.
My SGS8 didn't (I don't think) and my son's iPhone 6S doesn't - much to his amusement.
Is there a workaround that anyone's found cos I've found nothing...?

I had a similar issue, was listening to music on Spotify and wanted to make a small video to send to my wife of where I am.
On pressing record it would run, audio in use.
Used WhatsApp video and sent direct and it was fine.
Potentially with that in mind, could be the p20 pro camera app.
Do you have any sounds on for your camera? Ie shutter sound, zoom audio, touch sounds? All these noises may override the audio being played from another app (music)

Hi dladz
Thanks for the reply. I've actually found the culprit - Audio Control.
Obviously the app mutes the handset in order to listen out for commands.
Toggle this off and I'm able to send videos that include my current soundtrack!
Thanks anyway buddy.

What setting is that, is it the one in the camera settings? I have it off and it still shuts off music when i start recording a video. This has been pissing me off for the longest time.

Yeah, just in settings on camera tab - as per the screenshot
I toggle it on when music's playing on Spotify and it cuts the audio so definitely the cause/solution on my phone... My camera is set to 'mute' also - could be a factor.

Yeah, i've tried those settings before both toggled on and off and 1 on 1 off too, still having the problem. I basically gave up on it thinking it maybe was something in android but seeing how it's actually working for you guys is pissing me off again. I even factory reset the phone once due to this.
Haha, sorry for pissing you off dude...
If it helps I was well chuffed when I sorted it earlier!!

Bare in mind that you're using music and video at the same time, as I said in my post if one app is using audio then another can't.
AFAIK anyway

The thing is i never used to have a problem streaming music through bluetooth to headphones for example and film a video with audio from the mic. It stopped working for me a long time ago but still annoys me, if i remember correctly it stopped working back when i had my P10 Plus.

Just found this: https://errorfixer.co/stop-camera-pausing-music-android-lollipop-above/
Just tested with Open Camera and Footej Camera apps and no problem filming while playing music so i'm going to try the above fix tomorrow.
Let me know how you get on because I may have been a tad hasty... When I record video in the native camera app the music stops ffs! ?

Looks like that solved the problem, don't have bluetooth headphones here right now so can't test that but starting to record video is not killing Spotify for me anymore. Quite annoying to have to do this but at least it's an easy fix.

Aye that's what I'm saying.
It's the p 20 pro camera app.
Stumbled on it literally to you days ago.
You'll find that the WhatsApp camera works too as I said.
Some part of the app (cam) is taking total control over audio.
Turn off all audio features on the camera app perhaps.
Shutter sound etc.
Unless... It's the usage of video itself ie: the audio
In which case I'm not sure how to fix it
Edit: I need to read on more
Will read the link I guess.
Nice one

Anyway.
A more in-depth explanation of the switch, potentially for other apps too, I'd assume this can be done by editing a file.

And lastly, an app

That's normal
But you can revoke the cameras power over audio focus.
Those links would explain it.

Not on other apps such as WhatsApp it's not - nor on previous Android handsets I've had. However, I'm happy enough with the current set-up. Cheers for your input mate.

No worries fella.
If you're interested it is the p20 pro camera app which is hogging focus.
If you check that post I made you can take it back.
Tbh I agree that with it pausing audio is a better option.
I just wish it resumed afterwards which apparently can be set as a parameter in the files that govern audio focus.
Might be with having a play about with it, personally I can't remember another phone I've had having this symptom.
Either way glad you're happy.

I have installed a couple different iterations of Skype on the Gtab but te webcam doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Skype doesnt have a Mobile version with video yet. only talk. your gonna have to wait for official release from skype with video support or use a different program. Hope this helps.
Are there any video chat apps that work with Gtab? I've tried Tango and the audio makes loud crackling noise even when volume turned all the way down; the video works for a few seconds then force closes.
Yahoo messenger is the only one I know of right now.

has anyone tried fring yet on the gtab? i have it installed but dont have anyone to test it out with lol
Yeah the test video call works in fring but there is a terrible crackling sound from the speakers. So basically video will work but audio is garbage, so it is useless.

This is something I could really use too....if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be grateful !
talked with customer support, they are unsure why it records 25 mins. guess its time to dig into code and see what else there is. I did notice that with a different launcher installed, and set as default, the next day when i turn it on, it goes to stock launcher. must be something hard set after a cold boot to pick a defined set of defaults..

Thnask Jason
not a lot has been done in my off time besides work, did play around with more numbers in the sys folder, and a few in the camera apk itself, still always seems to go back to default after a sit overnight.
has anyone tried system/etc and then media_profiles.xml then changing the values and encoder profile quality.. duration then change it from 30 to whatever..
Its just the buffer size!

Ok,
just been on holiday with this camera and used it in battle so to speak.
What I found regarding the 25 mins time limit is that it is just refering to the amount of video it can deal with in one chunk before it has to process it and store it to the card.
If you tap on the stop button rather than just the pause button, the camera then tells to it is processing and storing to the card then, after a brief wait you can once again tapp the video button and you are good to go for another 25 mins.
The only limit I can see is the size of the storage card.
I hope this makes sense and answers your question.
Thank you so much for your kind reply ,
is there anyway any app can do none stop part auto to record like auto split kind of thing do you think ?
Thnx

Got to admit I hadn't thought about that.
Looks like I might have to do some research with that idea in mind.
There must be an app of some kind that could automate the process, hopefully someone out there will have some ideas too.

Sorry that I can't offer a solution (yet) but I am in the process of writing a video recording app, and I have recorded continuously for over an hour, so it isn't a hardware limitation.

Oh man! I would love to see this app and would gladly pay you for it! Do you need any beta testers because I would be totally game for that. I have noticed that the JB+ camera does not put a time limit on recording but I have no way to use the zoom and focus while doing so.
I just got the camera today in sort of a compromise. My wife needed a video recorder but I wanted a good camera for other things but mostly photographing student art work. I was looking at the QX10 and immediately saw the 2 GB recording limit and decided against it. I open up the camcorder today and see a 25 minute limit! AHHHHH!!!!! Anyway, I have unlimited recording but shoddy control using the JB+ camera.
I bought the Galaxy Camera for 328 and am really enjoying it so far, by the way! Great little piece of machinery.

Not really even at a beta stage yet - I am working on it, got the zoom goiing but haven't got the autofocus hooked up properly yet. The JB+ app may be the best hope as of now, but I'll keep you posted.

Glad to see you are still working on it. I wish I can help but programming is not my forte. I found another app that sort of works (not focus) as far as using the controls but recording doesn't finish right so it is broken. The app is Zoom Camera by Moulasoft.
If you need any graphics for the program let me know. That is one area that I can help with.
Hi,
Did anyone else has problems with pixelated video in social networks (fb, insta). And i'm not talking about my uploads... Every video i see has this issue. I'll try to get a screenshot or video edit of this also.
Same for me, only vidéos but all apps: Twitter Facebook and Instagram..
I've just bought my Huawei P20 Pro and video quality in facebook, instagram, even some youtube videos is really bad, pixelated. I compare to my iPhone 6 which I still have it and it is a 4 years older phone which runs them perfect on a smaller screen. There must be some trick with the resolution that Huawei must fix! Any info to share?
Bad audio and visual
This is the same for me. The quality of the sound is bad as well. I think someone said on here that Snapchat doesnt use the camera on android but "screen records" the video thats on the screen or something, But the sound should be good.
It is so bad its like using a camera from 20 years ago
Same Here, Any Fix for This?
I have the same issue, can anyone direct me to any link that could help me solve this? Thank you!
Have you downsized screen resolution or set it to automatic?

No, it is just the way the app is on android I am afraid. I have learned to take the video using the camera app then later post to Instagram
It's a shame this, something needs to be done. Surely 2018 Android can take good quality videos using Instagram and snapchat

My gf cant post videos made outside of Instagram, on her Iphone. Instagram just closes.
So maybe Instagram is the one to blame.
For me, I recorded a video in 4K resolution with H265 audio codec. I uploaded to Youtube and wait for a while, YouTube process the video in 1080p 60fps. OK, not bad. But when I uploaded it to FB, FB downsized it to 720p 30fps. That is terrible. It's not the problem with the phone. My LG V20 also have similar experience. It's the Youtube, FB and Instagram to be blamed for downsizing the video files for easier upload.

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!!
