Hey There!
First of all yes i have used the Search Function as well as Google
I have the following Problem:
I want to use my Galaxy S2 as a Camcorder to record something like 2-3 Hours of Video from an upcoming Event. The Problem is that the Screen takes in my Oppinion too much Energy so that I want to be able to switch it off!
The standard Camera App stops the Video as soon as you lock the device and the other Software does either not do what it should or does not work at all (or records in SD -> no way )
Does anybody know a Solution/Has a suitable App?
Greetings and Thanks in advance

I have been trying to figure this out for like 2 years. I just want to be able to record video in the background. I am running Mobile 6.1 on an HTC S720. I have tried the latest coolcamera (it just starts and immediately shuts off). I have searched EVERYWHERE. It would seem that the program built into the phone could potentially keep recording if the trigger to stop recording once the program was exited was turned off.
Is there a known registry modification (or any modification) to make the camera program stay always recording?
Is there any other software people have had luck with other then coolcamera?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even a link or keyword, anything is helpful at this point. This really seems like it should be easier then it is (or hopefully isn't).

Hi,
Guess you'll need to find a way to minimize (or hide) the UI of your camera. I tried recording a video and then pressed the Win-button on my keyboard to get into the startmenu, but it just stopped recording. Looks like the cam takes over the phone completely.
Besides, if you want the phone to keep recording, you'll need a very BIG storagecard (19s vid = 2.8 MB on my phone) and an even BIGGER battery.

Ya I have a 4 gig card in it. The camera program stays on because I can still see it in the process menu. I specifically want this for altercations with police whether in my car or on the street. I would like to start recording then lock the phone. I have had my phone recording while dealing with a cop and he saw the camera and his attitude changed. I'd rather them not know I am recording, and not be able to access the phone at the same time. I understand they could just pop out the card, but lengthwise I could pop out the card and slip it into my sock if they confiscate the phone. The phone can handle about 45 mins of straight recording so battery life shouldn't be an issue, plus it stays plugged in while in my car.
Thanks for the input as any is welcomed.

So, why you need videorecording then ? Guess it'll be easier and faster to just start your voicerecorder with your phone in one of your pockets...

Oh man, my X1 also cannot use Cool Camera either, And the default camera program can't been minimize....., I know that asus P565 default one could do so....looking for that program
So hello, my first thread here and I wasn't expecting it to be a negative one
I have had my Sensation since it was released in the US for T-Mobile. I have been pretty happy with it, takes great pictures, videos, quick processor etc...well after this so called "update", everytime I use the camera or camcorder option, the phone's screen wants to timeout...you know, it dims after whatever time you have preset and then it locks the screen. Well it never did that before when I was taking pictures or videos so if this is a way to "save" battery life, then someone is not thinking before they act. There is nothing more frustrating than taking a video and in the middle of it the screen darkens and 2 seconds later it locks and turns the video off. Sure you can touch the screen with your other hand but: 1) Creates a shakier video trying to touch the screen while you are filming and 2) You don't always have an empty hand...
I really hope there is a fix for this..
Similar issue with camera & camcorder
I am also having a similar issue with the camera & camcorder apps. After performing OTA update, they gave me a black screen. I rebooted to see if that would help, but now the apps just open for a second with a black screen and white icon and then shut down immediately. I'm going to try factory reset and see if it helps. I've read in other forums that it's a bug with the shutter and the phones were returned. Will post my results here.

Well, no dice. After doing factory restore and deleting a bunch of apps I still get the same trouble with the camera/camcorder. I've got insurance on it and an old HTC HD2 (rooted and running Froyo) that I'm becoming very fond of, so I'll be returning this phone but I would like to know what the issue is.
I am sorry you are facing the issue but i just checked and my camera is working fine for me as of now at the OTA update
Hi ace plus users,
I have found a new method in which you can partially solve the bugs associated with cm 10.1 for ace plus. This method is only tested in Techkang roms. With this trick,you can avoid the delay while taking photos, as well as fix the autofocus partially.The trick is:
First install
CameraZoom fx, it is a paid software,but you can find its cracked versions by simply searching google..
Now open the app,in the settings button(bottom right corner),set autosave on.
Set focus mode to second option,if you need to take photos always by autofocus.
Set focus mode to first option if you need to take photos instantly without autofocus. You will notice no delay when this option is selected.
If you are using first option in focus mode to take photos, never prefocus that is dont try to touch screen to focus, always press the shutter button.If you prefocus by touching screen,the app gets stuck.You need to reboot your device to fix that.
The only problem with this app is that it takes some time to load,unlike other camera applications.

I am using cm 10.1 techkang rom with 2.6 kernel.. Here usb charging works.. The only bug is camera flash, we can only use torch app.. Video recording also works using camera jb+..
I read this somewhere that we can use whatsapps camera app to take photos ....I have been using it and it gives only around 2 sec delay to take photos and the photos come out clear too
are there any ways or hacks to add an application to video enhancer feature manually on Samsung Galaxy S8+?
my phone's display has cracked so there are some dark lines all over my screen all the time. but when I play a video on my phone with the video enhancer mode enabled, the dark lines fade away and the brightness becomes full. I can see the whole screen this way. if there is any way I can keep this feature turned on all the time or on all the apps I use, I can see the screen properly. it would be really helpful if anyone can help me with it and I would be grateful and appreciate it. thanks in advance... :angel:
what if I root it ?? will I be able to do it then ??
I want this too. But I really don't want to root it.
Just a man
