I have a problem with the camera and video hardware to all custom firmware which are based on cyanogenmod kernel. Camera work but does not move and hardware video on player don*t move. On firmware are based on stock all right work. I've tried everything hboot and recovery but result is the same. Install Miui 2.1.6.08 then install kernel UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14 is the only variant when camera well works but hardware video does not work at all. I hope to help developers!
another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437945
Start a new thread because of that everyone devs is silent. May be see here.
I've got this very same issue. I was on MIUI 1.12.30 and on Lowveld's Reaper v1.1, both really good ROMs but for some reason, the camera preview window freezes after a couple of seconds. pictures come out ok though. same thing when playing videos either through a browser or even a local video file saved in the sd card, the video playback would freeze after a couple of seconds but the audio is normal.
if viewing video camera captured in program mode it shows normally but the problem remains
If viewing video touch on the screen then video moves and camera too
The same problem
I have the same problem - any help would be really appreciated.
i have got the same problem here.
tried to use Reaper 3.0 but got the camera problem.
miui,endymion and blindice works well with the camera on my DS.
i got hboot 2.00.0002, sense 3.0 and S-ON
the app "pudding camera" works for me as a half solution, since it only takes pictures and no video, but the camera is working with this app.
hope there will be a solution soon
i know its been month since the last post
I am on reaper v3 and my camera and videocamera are working.
UNfortunately i just don't get the same good pics as with sense roms.
It's a real shame, as i take many pictures and at the same time i couldnt live without reaper rom. it's just perfect, apart from the camera thing.
im using lg camera and sometimes get better results, but in low light the noise is really unbearable. tried different settings of iso and stuff but nothing.
i dont know about developing, so sorry is the question is dumb but using a different kernel would help?
Good day.
I have serious problem. The phone works perfectly otherwise, except i cant playback movies. they all stutter. I mean i had Xperia X before with SD650, and every single movie works flawlessy smooth, its like grafic proccesor has trouble rendering video. I tried everything. Hardware acceleration, software, force Gpu rendering all.
I flashed stock rom Marshmallow and two other marshmallow roms, tried all Nougat versions too. Same thing everywhere. I used MX player, custom ac3 codec , Bs player, VLC, all programs, i know all, i watch movies forever. first time i have trouble with playback.
Is it software problem, do i have too wait for final Nougat update 7.1.1 or is it my unit defection. Anywone else has this problem?
Video playback isnt smooth, it stutters!!
please help me before i go to servis.

It's not normal at all, if you properly flashed more roms and the problems are still the same then there could be some hardware issue, install Geekbench, run both CPU and then Compute and show me the results, compute is often good to understand if there is something going wrong in the background.

I cant believe it. I was in the store testing the mineral black version of sony XZ they have on the shelvs. And that device also has the same issuse. I didnt play smooth. I tested XA wich was there too and it played perfectly smooth and its way lower device in specs. POINT Being. Im testing yet another black version in another store tommorow.
And what my specs showibg above?
I simply refuse to belive that no one came acroos this playback issue. Worked fine and smooth on all previous low specs phones i had (last was Xperia x).
Its like no one is watching movies on phone. Playback skipping frames-stutters video. (maybe its not so in videos u record with camera, but this goes for all type of movies mkv, mp4, divx etc. with either mx player (or other best players outthere).
Not one single user had this issue?
I will test another XZ phone tommorow in another store wich im gonna, and if it will have same issue, i seriously doubt that ALL Xz phones are hardware broken , it would be too much coincidence for thoes three. Then it would surelly be software problem. But why Sony didnt repair this?
Its been like what - 4 updates already since stock.....? Im still waiting for the cooment on my benchmark i posted above...
The values from the benchmarks are completely fine, but I see you're still running MM, there may be something wrong with the regional MM you're running, update the phone to 7.0 and I believe there won't be any problem, I own two XZs, one rooted and one in factory settings+updated, none of them have ever lagged during a single task.
I understand but i already updated for the first time over official phone updates all the way up to 442. Nougat version. It wasnt working, was still skipping frames on movies. After that i tried separately flashin all roms, three nougat versions too. Didnt help.
So u sure this is software problem? All my bencmark dont show anY faults?

Have you tried running the phone in safe mode?
It sounds like a third-party app acting up, and it might be a third party app that comes with a certain region of the FW.
Also, does the playback behave the same reading from internal storage and SD card?
For example, I'm using a customized Greek FW and have no issues with video playback, even tried 4k videos, they run fine.
Reboot the phone into safe mode and see if the issue persists. If not, run it like that in safe mode for at least 2 hours, preferably even longer, and if the problem is still not there, then it's a third party issue.
I do disable a lot of stock apps after fresh FW flash and I barely use any aditional apps, so I can't confirm anything regarding to stock fresh FW with all preinstalled apps.
Keep in mind that running in safe mode will reset some of the UI and user settings to default, also when you revert back to normal mode, some apps might ask you to log in again.
I've had a similar issue with the Z3, it would lag and stutter and drain battery for no reason, ran it in safe mode and everything was great. Then I started removing third-party apps until I identified the one that was causing the issue (some sketchy camera app, it had processes running in the background like crazy).
I tested from SD card and from internal memory of course Yes.
I just tried safe mode again (also i disabled all other apps that i could) with MM213 and still playback stutters frames.
I was limited when using aps, i coudnt use mx player or anything to test, just ALBUM" program too play movies, and they still didnt played smooth. Album dosent support all divx,mkv and other formats anyway. There was one time that one movie did played smooth but that was only one time in album. I tried record 1080 and 4K too, it does play ok" still ocasionaly really small stutter every frames - but its surelly not the same as stuttering and skipping when playing a movie. (is this normal for camera videos?)

My god. Today i tested two more XZ models in two different stores front. Both runned Nougat 7.0 version 39.2.A.0.327 . The one Platinum was same as mine-bad stuttering playback, but the other black version in another store with exacly same version was working perfectly - playback and all was very smooth as it should be. So what now? Is it possible that i had bad version, im loading new zeland rom with same version number just another country to test it. Prolly wont make difference.
So this is resoults:
i tested 3 different XZ models in three stores. Two of them were buggs as mine, third one was good when it comes too playback. So this means its hardware problem and i should demand replacement?
Here is Atuntu resoults also. i just test it. main score seems ok. but what about other specs resoults. Can anyone cofirm if this is ok?

This is my score, on Greece Customized .442, nothing running in the background.
I don't know if this is within the margin of error.
5 of the units in 5 different stores have exacly same issue.I tested that oone again from yesterday that suppose to be ok, but it turns out today its not. Has same issuse. ITS highly unilikely that all came from broken manufactor series. Some were platin , some black from two different suppliers since thoes shops use different suppliers.
I cant believe no one has encountered this issue. Ok movies DO play, but its choppy playback - for some people maybe this is normal but its not. frames are simply not smooth.
I really hope this is software problem - considering that was one or two times on my unit, that movie actually played fine. but that was only two times. Really wierd.
I dont wanna send unit too servis for reason they will tell me its ok and that its software related problem. Im just suspisios, since i dont see users complaining about it. Like no one watches movies.... Or time since release is just too short for Sony too manage too get rid of this issue and gave it low priority with past updates.
Its just too much coincidence that ALL 5 of the phones i tested has broken production. Benchmark shows all ok anyway.
o have xperia xz platinuim rev 2 and i watch alot of 2 hours long movies and i dont have this problem, i guess it is about luck D:

I'm sure if someone had the issue here they would tell you. I watched couple of movies on my phone an they play normal, 1080p.
Then after you wrote about your issue, I tried a few 4K samples, and they run smooth as butter. For example, this one http://4ksamples.com/honey-bees-96fps-in-4k-ultra-hd/ , you try it.
I seriously don't know what the issue might be.
I just had a similar issue - but having 10% battery and the phone got into Stamina mode. I have the stamina mode set to aggressive. This is why the phone shutters.

No Stamina here. I turned everything off. LTE, Stamina, X reality, everything. (also tried safe mode, but hard too test in safe mode, when u cant use third party apps wich have software too play different type of movie files.
s there any other test i can perform with numbers, wich i didnt already, and would show any hardware or software faults. Currently using 442, latest March update of nougat (tried older roms already too). I have strange feeling that this device is broken - but could it be? when ALL FIVE XZ,s i tested in five different shops in stores have same issue? ( any any other midrange phone different brands works flawlessy playback)?

Have you tried forcing GPU rendering in developer settings? Its old trick to smooth UI in devices with new/unoptimised systems. Let me know if it helped, because I don't have that issue on CE1 customization.

Does it happen with any video you play? Different recorded resoultions from the phone's own camera, all of the youtube video qualities, ripped movies... Try recording something in [email protected], upload it and I can try play it and see how it works, or some other video you've got issues with.
Forcegpu is the first thing i tried when accounter this playback issue and didnt make any diffdrence. ?
