galaxys video camera issue - Captivate General

http://mckay.cerjturb.net/xda.php?flv=vidtest.flv
i took this with my galaxys a week ago, you can see the image has ... weird lines in it. im wondering if this is normal on the galaxys or is my camera shot. it does it in high-light as well.

Here's a night video from my Captivate

No lines to be seen in either
Seems to be intermittent on yours. Lines off.. then on then off again.

[Q] Audio and video not syncing up

I have found 1 major issue with my Infuse. Whenever I play a game, or watch a video (either streamed from the web, or playing back a video I recorded myself), the audio is about a half second behind the video.
I brought the phone back to AT&T, where I bought it from, and tried a few other Infuses (including 2 floor demos, a current employee's Infuse, and 1 brand new one out of the box), and I get the same result. I tested it by playing a couple Youtube videos, and I also recorded myself snapping my finger (when playing it back, you see me snap my finger, but almost 1 second later, you hear the snap). If I record a video, and play it on my computer, everything is fine.
Calling Samsung support, they state that some of the Infuses have this issue, and that there is no current "fix", but that one is being worked on.
Anyone else have this problem, and/or know what I could do? Thanks in advance.
Nope..
sent from Infuse but miss my captivate on cont. 5.5.... One day this can be as good...
I've definitely noticed this issue on YouTube.

I have not noticed this with my infuse, definitely have that issue with my Cappy...
Actually with you tube it seemed to be during the times when the network is busy. I also have noticed this on my Cappy when I played back a video that I had saved to my SD card.

Weird vertical lines after watching video on Netflix

I bought my SR 2 nights ago and last night, decided to test out Netflix on the phone and as soon as the movie started, I noticed that the quality of it was not that clear (or as clear as I would expect it). I then noticed and my dark wallpaper had these strange vertical lines on it and would not move. It is now there all the time (noticeable with dark colours) and even turning the phone off for some time, they are still there - is this a burn in issue? Has anyone else experienced this?

Galaxy S6 Camera Randomly Makes Loud Buzzing Sounds?

Hi all,
I wasn't able to find any threads related to this in the S6 forums but I wanted to see if anyone else has this. When I open my camera app, sometimes the camera takes 1-2 seconds to initially focus and during that time it makes a loud buzzing sound. It sounds like a focus motor or something in the camera and the camera output on screen flutters while it focuses. Once it focuses, everything is normal and it doesn't make any more noise to refocus. This also doesn't happen every time I open the camera app, seems mostly random. Has anyone else experienced this? I am already on my 2nd S6 since the first was defective for different reasons and I'm starting to get very disappointed with Samsung quality control.
I have the dame problem.
I don't know if this is normal.
I don't think so
Waiting for some explanations

going to bumps this too because after having the phone for a month this problem has just started to show its face.
I've first noticed a small buzzing just after a boot for 3/4 times and than I had a long one opening the camera. After that it's gone...
I have it also! Started a couple of days ago. I have dropped my phone a couple of times. What about you?
Had this happen for the first time today also. Had hdr off, switched back on and it went away. Coincidence? Phone never dropped.

Relax...is the mechanism of optical stabilization.
Mine is doing that too...

I have the same problem. It is also sometimes accompanied by the picture wiggling in wave patterns.

Try to clean up your camera lens.
Did your device take some damage in the past?
Did you take it underwater? (The S6 isn't waterproof anymore...)

But it's not that loud.
Otherways, you can't record videos properly, because the microphone records those sounds.

Same problem here since last week.[emoji26]
I tried hard reset and another camera app (Google photo), nothing work.
I think it's a hardware problem, it occurs after shaking the phone and launching the camera.
I feel that the OIS makes more noise when app is off.

This started happening with my S6 today. I think it's the OIS that poops out. I can make this happen with a light tap with my finger on the backside of the phone with the camera open and using the rear camera. And this happens with all camera apps: Samsung's bundled camera, Snap Camera and Camera FV-5.
Update: ..and just as sudden this started happening, it went away again. I hope it's a bug - with a fix in 5.1.1.
Update 2: No, it didn't go away. It comes and goes. I may need to take the phone to the service centre.
Mine has gotten worse. Almost every time I open the camera now, I have the buzzing.
Just checking in to say that mine started doing this, too, about four weeks after getting it. It does it randomly when I open Snapchat, too.
I am having this problem too on the Sprint version sometimes it is pretty loud. I'm planning on taking to service center I think.
I also get the waves before it focuses. I read on another forum that someone said they went to a Samsung service center and Samsung replaced their OIS sensor so I'm guessing this may not be something that is simply part of the design.
*Update #1*
I just got off the phone with Samsung customer service. The representative actually heard the buzzing from my phone over the phone while I was talking to her. Since the phone is still under factory warranty they are emailing me a shipping label to send the phone back for repair.
I also have Asurion insurance through Sprint but do not want a refurb for a phone that is less than a month old with no damage caused by me.
Unfortunately the turn around time from Samsung is about a 5 business days and that was after they told me 9-11 days in which I said I couldn't be without a phone that long.
So, I plan on going to Sprint to see if they will swap out my phone for a brand new one. I think if it is a manufacturer defect they will replace the phone without going through insurance for a refurb but I am not positive. It they won't swap it out for a new one I will go through Samsung.

Yes it appears to be hardware related.

I tried and initially it doesn't seem to happen when the mega pixels are lowered but I haven't tested extensively.
I went to Sprint today and the technician concluded that he was ordering me another phone so definitely seems hardware related.

Overheating and camera shutdown after just 5-6 minutes of video shooting....

I did read all the reviews saw the youtube clips of 4K video recording going on for half an hour or more... well, mine cant go for much more than 5-6 minutes at 1080p at 60fps. Just before posting this it actually shut down the app after only 4 minutes of recording.... same thing with 4k video. Dosnt seem to have trouble recording at 1080p 30fps.... did you guys actually test our phones? Is mine defective?
It managed 12 minutes of 4K video today... But that's outside in the cold weather. Summer is going to be interesting.
I returned this one today and got a new Z5. This one did 48 minutes of 4K video and stopped because i ran out of storage. So, yeah, my phone was defective.
All is good

Unlimited 4k video recording instead of limited to 10 minutes?

Hi Community,
is there any way to unlimit the 4k recording limit of 10 minutes?
i know the sensor/phone can be getting hot, but i just want to know if this is software releated or not.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Use a 3rd party camera app.
Thanks, but I want to know the way how to mod stock camera. Tried lots of 3rs party cams, I didn't like one of them.
I don't think there is but strangely enough on QHD I no longer have a limit. I was at Disney last week recording lots of video using various modes and I noticed when I used QHD it wasn't limited anymore. I don't know what I did or how it happened but I don't think it's supposed to be that way. I distinctly remember the limit being there when I first got to Disney and like the 2nd day in it was gone. 4k and 1080p 60fps still have the limit though. Wish I knew what I did so I could remove it from those modes too. My phone actually did overheat in QHD after about 5 minutes when I was recording a parade in the hot sunlight and I had to wait about 5 minutes before it would start again. I recorded a 33 minute video in QHD without stopping indoors though.
