camcorder recording freezes / skips / stutters - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I'm having issues with the video recorder on my NS. Whenever I try to record video clips the picture and sound slip out of sync, the image freezes, leaving the sound running. The video then continues but is behind the sound.
I can't find any suggestions about how to fix this. Does anyone here have any idea?

I just took some footage of 3 mins to test it again and actually the picture freezes near the end of the video. After that the audio is out of sync. I'm on infin1tyROM 1.1.0. :S

I have the same ROM installed, I mentioned the issue in the thread but someone else has said they don't have the issue, I wonder if it only affects longer clips or if there's something about the way we installed the ROM perhaps?

Well actually it was me stating that it works fine, but now i had to correct it. You got a i9023 or i9020?

I have the 4g and last night I was recording 10 minute segments and didn't see anything wrong. I would heavily suspect if a CPU hog app decided to do something while recording video, that it could cause problems. Out of an hour of recording, I think I might have seen a time when something caused the screen to black out for a second and start a new recording. Maybe.

I9020 here

Well if you found a solution please let me know! I*tried uninstalling some apps, several reboots, dalvik cache wipe, permission fix, different video players, no luck. Maybe it's the UV kernel? I*fear that I*had the same problem on CM7 with stock kernel but I'm not sure...

I'm stock rooted. That's it

Well as soon as I*have time I'll flash back to CM7 with stock kernel and report back.

@tatwamasi could you please test something for me? maybe this fixes the problem: reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache then reboot and go to settings, applications, camera and clear data. take 5 mins of video to see if it worked.

Here's a thought. If you transfer the videos to the computer and play them there, do they skip on the pc?

Cheers for the suggestion I'll try that later and report back. Earlier I made a Nandroid backup, did a full wipe, reinstalled the Rom and tested the camera. Video seemed fine then the camera started FC'ing. Not sure what's going on there... I've never had that before. Weird. Back on The backup now.

@herbthehammer I*feel stupid for not having tried that already :S
@tatwamasi have you tried fixing permissions in CWM?

After some testing I can confirm that clearing the camera app data actually solves the problem.
Lol sry for all the * after "I" my desktop keyboard is acting weird.

Having this exact problem on a Sprint NS4G. It has a CM7 nightly installed. Will try clearing the data on the camera app. Hoping that fixes it!

[Q] Dailer Force closing

So, 60% of the time when I type a phone number into my dailer, by the third or fourth number my dailer will disappear and I'll be staring at my home screen. I didn't start experiencing this till I flashed Vahalla on my phone and I've experienced through ICBINB GB, Stock Froyo (for testing purposes), and now on airflips official AOSP GB rom.
Could it be my VCF card is corrupt? Has anyone experienced this problem and fixed it?
Clear the cache on the Dialer, make sure you back up your contacts first. if that doesn't work you might have to do a factory reset on the phone. I have had similar issues before.
I get it occasionally, I have to lock and unlock my phone to get it to stop. I'm assuming its a error in the apk itself.
Are you Using a custom dialer in all cases? Or just in the custom roms?

I was having this issue for the last few days (probably) and didn't notice until yesterday. Fixing permissions fixed the issue.
Does the issue come back for y'all, because I've done that and it will come back at some point in the near future after the wipe and perm fix. If it keeps happening, after the third consecutive time I just let it sit for 10 seconds and type out the number and it will work. That's why I think it has something to do with loading my contacts up from the file.
Are there alternative dialer applications to use that would fix this problem that anyone has used and recommends? I'm at my wits end with this problem.
It may be an issue with the build.prop. Try backing it up and pushing the stock build.prop. I had a similar issue with the phone hanging, and it was my build.prop

i would wipe the dialer data in the settings-application-manage menu. then fix permissions.

Poseidon rom GB problems

Hello, i'm having the following issues: Default video player is broken, whenever i finish playing a video, the player gets stuck, can not replay the video or any new one, and overall i have to force close it using task manager.
Also, after a couple reinstalls of poweramp music player, the TSM parts lockscreen PLAY button stoped working, it doesnt reproduce any sound, i already tried disabling enabling this feature, switching throu different lockscreens...
And finally, whenever i leave an app open, say, whattsap messenger and let the phone go to semi sleep mode (screen goes black), the phone restarts. This doesn't happen if i go to the main menu screen (launcher screen) before leting it go black.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

That's pretty weird, I was on XXKPQ Poseidon's ROM but never experienced the video problem.. it must be an application bug, glad to hear you found an alternative app for it and fixed most of your probs on the ROM
You can try pushing a stock vid player on your system files

"Camera error: camera cannot initialize"

Hey guys
I'm having a problem with the camera of my moto g. Everytime I open the camera and shut it down, but then open it again, it isnt working anymore. There's a black screen with a popup saying 'Camera error: camera cannot initialize'
I can hear the camera 'cracking' when its launching our shutting down. When I wait 4 seconds till it is shut down it works again but otherwise not. When I install stock rom from scratch problem is gone, but now I rooted (stock kitkat) with faux kernel OC and the problem came back!
Are there other people experiencing the same problem? Is there a fix possible?
Thanks in advance

I had the same issue. Did all suggested in various forums on cache and all.
What worked for me is that I installed a 3rd party app, Camera Zoom Fx. This works fine but additionally the in-built camera app also started working fine. Its been a couple of days now.
Hi Guys,
It seems that Skype is locking the camera. Remove app cache and data, remove app and reboot the phone.
Cheers

I also experienced the same problem. via instagram, I also can't connect to camera. I dont know if it had been due to Skype, but I downloaded it a couple of days ago, but I also switched to ART so I really don't know what caused it. now I'm back to dalvik and what I did was I removed app cache and data and then rebooted the phone. PROBLEM SOLVED, with Skype still installed..
I got my moto g 4 days back and the camera was working fine, all of a sudden it stopped working and i getting the same error camera cannot camera cannot initialize.
I have tried everything soft reset, hard reset, rebot, cache partitioning format, clear data, still the problem persist.
Please Advice.
Thanks in advance

Anyone else having trouble with the camera app on lollipop?

My wife and I both have the Nexus 5. I'm still on KitKat while she is on lollipop. She is completely stock and upgraded to lollipop via ota. I tried to take pictures in low light so I set the flash to always on. I noticed sometimes it would not flash, sometimes it would flash, and sometimes the flash would come on and stay on leaving the app in a hung state. Anyone else? Or should I just consider a different app from the Play Store?
Not an issue for me stock 5.0. I flashed factory image didn't wait for OTA. Try clearing cache and data on camera app?

I thought of clearing the cache after I posted this, so I did. Now it seems the flash doesn't work at all even when set to be on all the time. I guess I will just stick to HDR on her phone
I've got problems too, and I looked for it in the web. Seems to be a known bug, when you use the torch then the camera has problems and crashes sometimes too.
Anyway rebooting fixes everything. Apparently here in xda nobody has started investigating this

I'm wondering if using a third party led flashlight app (tiny LED is good) would resolve if it's just a Google issue? I cant we why it's a camera issue, I'm putting my money on the Google flashlight code.

Not for me, all is perfect smooth.
This behaviour to me is something related in any way to your internet connection/mobile data

I don't think so..
It happens on wifi at home, 4G or wifi at work.
If I reboot, it's works fine but then the problem comes back a few hours/days later.

I know it's a bug and also HTC knows.
Wipe cache every time lag come back.
No other way by now brother
I've found the cause.
It's the USB Audio Player Pro app.
App un installed, rebooted the phone and the problem is now gone.
I have the same problem. Update from Nougat to latest oreo didnt fix problem.
Reboot helps but not for a long time.
Remove video apps and install mxplayer. If you don't use boost+ it's a good app by htc!.
I've had the lag off and on too. Last week I cleared the cache partition and so far it has not returned.
