Hey, so I've been using this nice app called Snap Camera. While it does everything I want it to and I like it better than stock or the other ones available in the play store, I have a strange bug with it. Of course this is not your problem , and I have reported it to the dev...but
He says he hasn't found anyone else using my device to try and track down the issue. So if anyone is so inclined with a p62xx and running stock JB I'd be grateful if you would you please give this app a try and record a 720p video and see if the preview screen freezes when you stop recording? (To get it to record in the proper mode for 720p on our tab you have to go in the settings, under Video, and set Video Preview Size to "Video (1280x720)".
APK and xda forum for bug reports and discussion is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055140
Thanks for your help if you so choose

I stumbled across this video created by khalpowers on the XT720:
http://vodpod.com/watch/5015769-hd-recording-30-fps-xt720
This tells me that it's possible to get 30FPS out of this phone. Mine is only recording at 21fps according to Windows.
Will using one of khalpowers' ROMs fix my camcorder app?
I've tried the lgcamera app and I still get only 21FPS.
If any of you have any insight into this I would really appreciate it.
So I installed khalpowers' camera update and things seem smoother now, but I don't get 30fps. In Fraps I'm getting between 21fps and 24fps. It's better than it was before, but still not quite as smooth as I would like. The shutter lag in the camera is also better after the update.
Is this phone even capable of 30fps at 720p? The specs seem to say it can only do 24fps.
It can only do 24 FPS.
try khals video settings in lgcamerapro app. it allows for recording in 30fps.

It turns out that the FPS thing is really difficult to evaluate. This is because the phone records variable bit rate. The actual rate recorded seems to depend on how much light is hits the camera sensor (i.e. brighter scenes get higher framerates and darker scenes get lower framerates which makes sense to me).
To make things even more confusing the file contains a number as a "guesstimate" of the frame rate. This guesstimate is what most programs show. Unfortunately, the guesstimate seems to be incorrect most of the time. IIRC the only thing we found that seemed to show us the actual framerate was Windows Media Player in Windows 7.
There's a lot more about this in Dexter's stock221v13 development thread. Page 126 of that thread seems to be in the middle of it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939644&page=126 I think it started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11630078#post11630078 but it's really spread out.
Can someone post a link to kahl's camera update and khal's LGCamera settings. And should I apply the update if I'm running StealEpicBlue, or the ROM already has the update?
Thanks.
Even with lgcamera and khal's settings, the files are still not 30fps. Even watching his sample videos, they don't look any smoother than what I'm getting with his "fix" installed on the default camcorder app.
Anyhow, I can live with 24fps. I just wanted to know if 30fps was possible, and it seems as though it's not.
Thanks everyone for your input.
Perhaps khal can chime in and confirm that his files are indeed 30fps. IMO Fraps is a good way to verify it.
Higher rate on xt just 24fps.....that video from eclair..now can produce better than that with airplane mode ..
So............... does we have Camupdate on StealEpicBlue or not?
Thanks.
yes..complete patches included with cam update...

That's why we all ♥ U!
On stock 2.1.1, I did that :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088297
but, I mean it's already done in khalpowers ROM
Can someone post the best settings for LG Camera, please?
Thanks in advance.
Hey everyone, I have a stock Samsung S4 that I like recording concert videos on.
I had a real big issue with the audio. I might have that fixed with BootlegMic. I have also installed LgCamera in hopes of finding a fixed focus for my video. I found that this app did let me use an external mic that my stock app did not, but I cannot seem to get a decent quality video from it at all
I have tried changing video resolution, video encoder, video bitrates, and file formats. Every conceivable combination that's possible, (I realize any video res past 1920 X 1080 is not supported), but cannot get any video quality even close to the stock video app.
Is there anyone with experience with this problem that can help me get it sorted out?
Thx. Jerry.
This may be late
This may be a late reply, but just in case any one else happens upon this thread, it might be worth looking at Open Camera app. Lots of tweakable settings, fixed focus, exposure lock, external mic, etc.
BTW, I just put together a bootlegMIC and it is fantastic.
As we know, for all Cyanogenmod Users was the Camera app a little bit flawed, it did not let you record in 4K. I found an easy workaround
for that, which should work with any ROM, not only CM.
Just go to the Google Play Store and Download Open Camera, with the link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en .
The open it and click the Settings Icon, go to Video Settings and set the Resolution to Highest; 4K Ultra HD. And that is basically it!
The app overall is a great replacement, it has way more controls over Focus etc. There is a bug though, when switching to video mode, the brightness will go on the lowest level. Clicking the settings and going back will fix that. I hope I could help you, Feedback is welcome!

Hi guys,
I am using latest global stable rom (7.5.1) and i noticed something wrong with instagram. As you all know instagram released new update and you can use the instagram like @snapchat which you can upload your story. I liked the app. But the problem is when you upload a story you have to take a picture or record video inside of the application. When i try to do that simply the rear camera picture or video quality is amazingly poor.
Any other one faced the issue? And any solution you you can provide?
Btw I tried global developer rom latest version as well (6.7.29) which came back to same issue as well.
Waiting for your feedbacks. Thanks.
After few tries..
Well ok what i found out after few tries is quite funny and simple. The problem is not the camera drivers or device specs.
Instagram app is automatically selecting the lowest quality video recording option. What i am trying to say is; since rear camera has recording options ( sd, hd, full hd, 4k) the app is making the lowest quality selection by itself. When it comes to front camera since there is no option to choose the quality of front camera video recording then instgram takes the fixed one which is already full hd ( you can find video recording settings inside of camera app for both rear and front cameras) I believe this is done due to decrease the data consumption.
So now the case is if we can simply remove the option of 'SD Video Recording of the back camera' then we can post good quality videos on instagram
So if someone know, how the camera recording quality can be removed from the system please let me know
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I’m experiencing difficulties sending Videos using WhatsApp on the U12+, and I’d like to ask if anyone else has had the same issue? The problems have been...
1) WhatsApp throws up an error message, telling me that the video cannot be sent and that I should try another file.
2) Audio within some sent videos is corrupted (loud screeching/crackling noises).
If my mind serves be correctly, the problem seems to happen mostly with videos where I have zoomed in at some point. However, I because 95% of affected videos never sent in the first place - I can’t check back through my history to be sure that I’m right about that.
I found a German forum where somebody asked the same question, but no clear answer was found (although there was a suspicion that it had something to do with the audio recording mode). Additionally, the Play Store only has only one app review from a U12 user and he/she also refers to problems sending video.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Craig.
Got the same type of issue with Facebook Messenger, where the app was complaining about this "mp4 video format" not supported.
I recorded it with HTC camera app in 1080p 60fps.
No issue anymore if recorded in 1080p 30fps. Have a try...

I ran across something interesting yesterday when I was researching YouTube compatibility with the U12+'s videos.
What is your audio set to, 3D or High Res? High Res results in the video being saved as an .mkv, which isn't widely supported. 3D results in a fileformat that I'm unsure of, but it's apparently common enough to upload.

"Default" mode, so 3D.

Crap, sorry. I thought it was worth a shot.
Ni,
I had the same problem but unfortunately those times that happened to me I was not able to give an explanation ... I also assumed that it was a problem of use zoom but in the last wrong posting I had a video without apperenti problems of 42 seconds converted in 11MB he didn't want to go. So today I tried all the combinations of options that I found in the camera and the only one that gave me an error in sending was when I selected sonic zoom audio.
The real problem is that I think that in some way changing from the front camera to the normal one somehow changes the option, or during some updates.
So my advice is to check before registering if this mode is active.
For example in the last test I've recorded with the normal camera with high resolution audio then set to 3d audio. Now in the front camera I find high resolution audio but in the front I never touched options and I'm sure that before the beginning of my tests it was on 3D audio.
