120fps video disappeared after last Pie stable global rom - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
today i noticed that the options for 120fps in video mode is disappeared after update to last stable Pie global rom.
They add a slow motion mode with 120/240/960 but, obv, it records only in automatic slowmotion.
Any solution, idea etc to fix this thing?
Thanks to all guys
Alessandro

This Android 9 updates are taking off some functions. For me, even the gps has stopped to work fine, is very very erratic.
Is there any way to go back to oreo?

Same question I have. So so crap pie update. I already miss 8.1

It's ridiculous that a smartphone like mi8 can only records in 1080p 30fps

ROMs with almost no bugs

Is there any non OOS based ROM with a perfectly working fingerprint scanner and primary camera. Something that's really stable?
Everything you find in this forum is perfectly stable, maybe with the exception of MIUI.
Oneplus limited custom ROMs by not releasing sources that would make slow motion video, HDR and the "HQ" mode work. This means these are broken on all non OOS based ROMs.
The fingerprint scanner will also get a bit slower, but it's still gonna beat an iPhone.

Would you recommend the jump from oxygen OS at the expense of, what you state to be, worse low light performance, removal of features like slow motion videos and HDR, and the slowing of the fingerprint sensor... I suppose it depends if you use the camera then and enjoy the speed of your phone unlock?

This is totally wrong. MIUI Xs is the only non OOS rom where the camera works perfectly including auto-HDR, Slow Motion and HQ as it is based on H2Os. I am using this build and it even has ota support for miui weekly. Don't flash any other builds like wu or ruy09 etc. Use this build : https://mega.nz/#!H5xEEARQ!jIFx7bad4wBN3s1xXmEd6-8EQGQETMD9_EWsjYWMWSM

Aside from the fact that MIUI doesn't boot on my device, it should be pretty stable. I seriously couldn't care less about the camera as long as it screws my phone up.
I like MIUI. Believe me, I tried. I downloaded every single version I could find, flashed all of them, none of them booted. Flashed fine, but then black screen, white notification LED, computer recognized the phone as Qualcomm debug mode. Yeah...
Works for some, not for me. And I'm not alone with this.

Try this Version. Believe me .... DO a clean flash --> Wipe everything including internal memory and flash from adb sideload.
Make sure your file system is F2FS and not EXT4. Update to latest nougat OOS and then flash as said above !!
If u want I can show my miui by uploading a video to youtube !!

Since we use 7.1.1 blobs from openbeta3 on this unofficial op3t optimized lineage build most camera issue are gone - OnePlusCamera from openbeta3 is included additionally.
Fingerprint sensor was never an issue on these builds.

Sounds strange. Is HDR working? Because I couldn't get it to work even on OOS based ROMs.

Honestly: I don't know. To my own surprise it was just working. The only remaining issue: if you want to add a fp, you need to wait for some seconds before starting to register new fp; otherwise the fps is working as home button.

HDR on back cam is working - no HDR on front cam. What's still missing is raw.
I'm no photographer and I lack a good judgment for stills. I suggest you take a nandroid and check yourself if the rom (especially the cam) matches your demands.

I tried, but just like on OOS based ROMs, I cannot tell the difference between HDR being on or off. That's despite me giving it a challenging lighting situation.
With my Nexus 5, HDR photos had no EXIF info. At least no things such as ISO, exposure time. With the OP3T, I have full EXIF, which shouldn't be possible, because the whole point of HDR is that I don't have a single ISO value and a single exposure time value.
Due to the EXIF situation and the fact that I cannot tell a difference between pictures with HDR on and off, I concluded that it is not working. Am I the only one with this problem?
Can someone upload pictures taken back to back, where one was taken with HDR on and the other with HDR off?

There's a work around for this. Use on screen nav bar. And then register all your fingerprints. Turn it off afterwards if you don't want.

I think waiting some seconds is the better (aka faster) workaround: changing to onscreen nav bar and reverting back takes about 10ms. Waiting for 5 s takes 5 s... Just a matter of peesonal taste. Work around the workaround...

Found A Bug With YouTube HDR w/ Autobrightness? (Oreo April Patch)

So I was appreciating the beautiful display on the Note 8 and it's abilities again today by watching a HDR video from YouTube on it, but I noticed something weird. Whenever I went from a bright to a dark environment, (lit bedroom to dark living room) the screen would drop to a lower brightness, then realize it's in HDR mode and go all the way back up, and it would alternate multiple times as I moved around in the dark environment. It would drop to a low brightness, pick back up to full, drop, repeat. Can anyone else test to see if this is happening with theirs too?
Settings: WQHD+ resolution, Auto Brightness enabled, Video Enhancer enabled
Video:https://youtu.be/tO01J-M3g0U
This will help me confirm whether it is indeed a software bug introduced in Oreo/April Patch or if it's my own hardware that's having issues. Thanks for the help!
I would say it is a software bug.
This was happening to me after the Oreo update, unsure what I done that resolved it though but, after flashing a custom rom and going back to stock it has worked fine for me. Using the same Oreo package that I used to update to Oreo the first time also.
I am really sad to hear about all these bugs due to OREO updating, they make me think that it has far more cons than pros over nougat, in my country no Oreo ota yet, I will stay this way until a really good oreo comes out...

Pie update - OIS stabiliser

Hi.
Updated my phone to android pie via Hicare.
Now I have problem with camera.
I don't have stabiliser option in video settings anymore. No matter what resolution I choose.
There is no stabiliser option in settings.
Is this normal?
Video is shaking as hell...
I also did factory reset (full wipe) after pie update. Nothing helps.
Is stabiliser option missing on pie update or what?
Thanks.
I have the same problem.
Yesterday I shot a video and it was awful because the image was shaking all the time.
That didn't happen to me with Oreo.
Do you have option stabiliser in camera settings? For me it's missing.
Tried every option. Even factory reset.
Nothing. Now video recording is awful.
No, I haven't found that option in adjustments, although I don't remember if it was in Oreo.
It did work before and it doesn't now.
Edit: I think I've already found where the OIS setting is: I think it's the icon named "nivel de belleza" (in Spanish) maybe named "beauty level" in English.
I've done some quick tests and it looks like the image stabilizes as the "beauty level" increases.
Strange... But if I don't want to use beauty level? Stupid.
I will roll back to oreo and check if stabiliser is available option in settings.

And another problem, if we use the beauty levels (stabilizer) the highest quality must be 720p.
I will report it to Huawei. I want full HD with OIS like before.
Hi, my gf did the update to emui 9 on her p10 and has the exact same problem with stabilisation. Or should I say, with the non-stabilisation...Option has been removed and it's now not possible to make videos without shaking. I also have a p10 but still emui 8 and the option for stabilisation is here. And when we compare both results there is no way emui 9 has a big problem. Hope Huawei will make an update to fix this asap.
I've heard that on p20 and p30 (and probably all other new cellphones from Huawei), the AI manage automatically the stabilisation with NPU. Well it's fine, but the problem is that on our p10 that chip simply doesn't exist so what to expect..
I had just reported this issue via the Live Chat function in HiCare. The support agent told me that he will highlight the issue to the relevant department from his end. Hopefully we will get an update to fix this.
I also talked to the french hotline yesterday and I got an email few hours later saying I must do a factory reset and if it doesn't work to send my cellphone back to garantie...
I think they just don't know.
I talked about Kirin 960 and 970 and the guy at the hotline was impressed about how much I know about cellphones...please.
Hope your hotline is smarter than mine and they will fix it with an update.
@Hawkblesker
They dont know. I did factory reset after updating to 9.0 and its the same.
Now i will rollback to Oreo just to confirm that OIS setting is available in Android Oreo and not in Pie.
Also will contact Huawei support in my country.
Edit:
rolled back to android 8 and OIS stabiliser option is in camera as normal and it works. On android 9 this option is missing and its not working...
I have contacted them to report the issue and they say me that they are not aware of this incident.
He has asked me to restore the app camera, which has not solved anything as I already knew, and also wanted me to restore the phone, which I refused because I know that is not the solution.
I think it's important that we all report the problem to Huawei so they can do something about it.
It is unacceptable that an update causes the mobile to lose performance.
Please, let's make noise so they can fix it.
Regards.
I have sent email hour back to huuawei support about this problem.
Waiting for reply.
I will most likely replace my phone with other brand. Samsung maybe. Not sure. Was looking at S10e but is expensive. Other option is P20 pro. Not sure about Huawei.
Maybe Xiaomi. But camera is important for me so not so sure...
On french hotline and after 3 emails explaining everything slowly and clearly they continue to tell me to send my cellphone for reparation..
Got email today from them.
They told me that stabilisation should be automatically enabled in android 9.
That is not true. Stabilisation does not work on android 9.
They dont know nothing...
Some news from Huawei support...
For now only solution is to turn on beauty mode. They will hopefully fix this in next update.
Hi
I am from Croatia and few days a go i have also reported the problem with stabilisation. I also told them about the beauty mode thing. But what i noticed is that when the beauty mode is on resolution is set to 720p so i have tried other resolutions too. To be more specific i did try [email protected] and 4k and on both stabilisation works. Video stabilisation is not working only on default resolution. I think is [email protected]

but in [email protected] and 4K there is autofocus issue. Its hell slow refocusing when you move with the camera. And the problem is not, that there is no OIS in 720p and 1080p. The problem is the functionality of OIS. the video is shaky even if I capture it with tripod.
Autofocus in Emui 9 now is worse then it was before in Emui 8. As you said, it is slow. But not just in [email protected] and 4k. It is same on any resolution. At least on my phone. I know it is annoiyng, but at least stabilisation works. That is more important to me. But Huawei ****ed up big time.
And video on default resolution it's so shaky like stabilisation it's not turned on at all.
same situation here!
Has anyone found a solution?
Video is pretty stable for me, but should it really be possible to disable/enable OIS on the software side? I thought OIS was a physical mechanism in the lense. I know that on an iPhone you have to put a little magnet on the opposite side of where the camera is to actually lock the OIS mechanism.
Edit: OK I can confirm that stabilization does not work for [email protected] fps. This makes me wonder, does the P10 really have true OIS or was it just another example of Huawei's false marketing?

Lost 1080p 60fps recording, "server error"

keep in mind it was doing this before i updated to pie and its still doing it.
my phone is sprint snapdragon, so i am aware of no 4k 60fps.. but when i first got the phone i was able to record 1080p 60fps, and at some point through the years i mustve lost this feature due to a firmware/hardware bug.
in settings if i choose 1080p 60fps, the phone locks up, or give me a server error. Ive tried various methods to fix this, cache, reset, cam reset, etc etc.. no fix in sight.
anyone experience this? Like every other samsung phone ive owned, i take very good care of but over time a feature will be permanently bugged and nonfixable forcing me to wanna upgrade.. i hate to say it but i think this is the case again.
No problem with video capture in 16:9 FHD (60 fps) 1920x1080, using Samsung Camera app vs 9.0.00.63. Phone is N950U1 on Pie beta #3.
Cannot specific select 1080p 60fps as mode in Samsung camera app...

same, except official pie, doing the same thing. camera hangs.
Have you tried reflashing it using Odin or is it not possible to do yourself on that model?
i did a reflash with odin with the previous oreo, still wasnt fixed. assuming now its a hardware issue, kinda rediculous.

Question MiUi13 - 5x Camera Stability Problem

Has anyone noticed horrible stabilization for the 5x sensor with the new camera app that comes with the 13 update? Used to be able to turn the digital stabilization on or off (when on it caused some weird jitter, but at least the footage was usable and stable). Now, there is no option and the video shot through it is always extremely unstable even when sitting down holding the phone with both hands while remaining as still as possible to the point of beeing useless. Specially at 15x zoom (sample footage included). Anyone else got this issue?
Also noticed that they added an option for HDR10+ shooting and automatic low light framerate adjustment that is not switchable. Anyone know why?
EDIT - Here is the sample footage:
for some reason I got multiple errors uploading video attachments to this forum...
Firstly, I have non of the issues you have mentioned above. I am on MIUI13 SKAMIXM and the app works flawlessly. The only issue I have is video recording gives me only up to x6
Regarding hdr10+ you can turn it on only on 4k and 8k. Not below that.
Okay now I understand, every zoom I start with gives me multiple zoom options. If I start with X5 I can go up to x6.
Either way, works flawlessly

Ok. You mind uploading a sample video in a reply please? Btw if you switch to 1080p 30fps you get the option to go from .5 all the way to 15x in one slider. If you don't mind try shooting from 1x to 15x.

Thank you very much. I've installed your camera app and unfortunately the problem persists... the 5x video footage is basically unsusable. I'm afraid that my optical stabilization for this lens is broken and I'll need to return the phone for service, fortunately it's still covered by warranty... This is a huge bummer since they make you format everything on the phone for security reasons.

Hi Mate,
i'd suggest before sending it off for warranty to install GCAM and try it out one more time.
is your ROM official? or is it the BETA version?
Also, I've learned that controlling camera in general is not limited to camera app, also the software of the device control's most of it and the app is just triggering the software to activate and do the algorithm of image processing. it could not be a hardware. (while I agree with you that most likely it is). but i'd try every possible solution before losing device for a few weeks or months if you are unlucky.
Also, note that seems like EU version of MIUI13 rom seems buggy, a few issues have been mentioned here and there that are not in the global version SKAMIXM.
I use miui13 EU ROM and have no issues at all.

Yes I use the official update as provided with the phone updater. I also have a gcam installed and the problem persists there too (sample provided in this reply). I think I've done all the testing required to conclude that there is actually a problem with the stabilization. I'll have to service it unfortunately . Maybe ask for a battery change since it dropped to about 4500mpa over the last few months with all the fast charging and the extremely fast discharging (cough cough). Thank you for your time, I'm really grateful for the tips.

I think I have this here too (I have the SKAEUXM version). Up to 9.5 it doesn't shake, after that it shakes a lot.
