I will be going to a concert in May. Since I have been to 1 concert already while owning this phone I noticed that recording video is a nightmare on the Audio part. It sounds really bad. My question, is there any 3rd party app that will do a better job? Or is this just how the phone is? I came from the HTC EVO 4G and while the audio wasn't perfect it was a a lot better than what the Nexus 5 can do.
I am stock and not rooted.

video software question!
With extended compatibility that covers many websites and file formats, All Video Downloader is the download option of choice for videos. Because it's done in dribs and drabs, however, the number of simultaneous downloads allowed is very limited. It's also worth noting that the software is at times unable to download some videos. During our test, an error message appeared several times when trying to download a video.

I ordered and recevied a Sensation from Vodafone on the 20th of May, it arrived and overall I was pleased with it. Then I noticed that the audio on video (tried different players and different files) was cutting out after 1m38s. When I skip forward any amount the sound returns for another 1m38s.
I spoke to Customer Services and they suggested I return the phone for a replacement, which arrived today but suffers from exactly the same problem.
I've posted about the problem on here and noticed other people doing so on other forums (including Vodafones) but nobody seems to have a solution as yet.
Do I return the phone and see if the same happens or swap out for something else? I don't want to lose the phone but if I have to wait on a HTC/Vodafone fix I feel like I could be waiting months.
Thoughts?

nope u dont have to return it. Just change the format its recording.
I have had this problem with my own htc device as well.
Just go to the camera setting WHEN its set to record video, and change the format.
Sorry, should've clarified that this is on films encoded as .avi files, rather than video shot on the phone itself.
does this also happen if you encode the movie as a .mp4?
also does this happen using all video players or just the video player that comes shipped with the phone?
have u tried different players?
Tried different players and different files, although both were .avi.

I have the same problem, I use qqplayer and my videos work fine now.
The issue appears to me to be if you use hardware to decode, if you choose software the .avid files seem to play Ok with any player you can change these options, I have not found a way with the stock player yet.

Thanks very much for the qplayer tip, this seems to work with no problems.

I have this same problem too. I even went back to AT&T to exchange my Infuse for a new one bcos I thought it might've just been the phone since i haven't found anyone else who's had this problem.
But it happened again after I got my new phone. Do you have Advanced Task Killer ? I found that it happens less frequently if you uninstall that app. When I had that app, it would happen to me every day after a couple hours of restarting my phone. But after I uninstalled it, it rarely happens. I don't know what's still causing it though.
never had issues with Video Player ( built in one )
I have lots of Mp4 , and Divx and even Avi files ; all of them play
Weid thing though I tried to play some DEMO FILES (samsung demos ) couple didnt play any SOUND!!! but then when I played on PC I ahd SAME ISSUE
SO check the file QUALITY BEFORE u decide to change phones
There are few ways to download and convert "YOU TUBE" videos , I msotly convert them after they downloaded ( FLV-> Mp4) so that way I can use on Both iphone(wife) and My Andriod phone!!
HD movies and Music Videos on Infuse ROCK !!!
I get this randomly with mp3's. it's happened about 3 or 4 times. and it won't just be the built in media player. if it happens there it will also happen with google music.
I'm getting this with youtube videos quite frequently. I'm on infused 1.3.0. Was hoping it was an issue with that rom but it sounds like it's happening on stock phones too!

I have been having this same issue with all media on my Infuse 4g for a while. Restart has always resolved it but it would come back multiple times and day and require a restart. For me, removing the official twitter app resolved my problem and I have been going several days now with no media issues. I don't if this will help or not, but I wanted to post it just in case.
Wow, nice find! Next time I have an issue I'll try uninstalling the Twitter app and see if that fixes mine too.
I shall report back.
Reboot into CWM... and go to fix permissions. Worked for me and I've never got the problem again

Screenshot or it didn't happen.
Amazon has instituted the Adobe DRM & also added Silverlight as a requirement for streaming. This is to prevent work-arounds & currently (for the last several months) Amazon Videos will NOT work on Android phones or tablets period. There are a few browsers the do server-side rendering & it will sort-of work on those, but the quality is crap & the lag/stutter is unbearable.
Amazon's stance is that you either need to buy a crappy Kindle, or wait for them to finish extorting licensing fees from Google, the OEM's & your carrier. There have been numerous threads about this issue, which affects many platforms, all over the web.
Amazon instant video is working on my S3. I have Adobe Flash Version 11.1.115.20. It is working through my stock browser.

Amazon video on 10.1
Ok, here's a screenshot. It wont play movies marked HD, but has played everything I've wanted to watch. I'm not that concerned about hd. As long as I can watch the video, I'm good.
The video looks better than the snap shot I took. I saved it in a lower resolution.

Works for me on the Note 10.1 with Flash Player installed and Dolphin Browser. It seems a bit smoother than using the stock browser.
I'm able to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the stock browser, but as you can see, the quality isn't all that good. I don't mind though because it's not that bad, either. I attached my own screenshot in case you wanted another example of the video quality.

Install the .63 flash from the Adobe Android Flash Archive. They fixed the DRM issue several weeks ago. With AOSP browser, you can even watch HD in desktop mode.
Or install from here.
Working just fine on stock browser in full screen mode.

Coming from a Galaxy S3, the only thing I miss about my old phone compared to Nexus 5 is the camera app / functions.
One feature in particular is the ability to pause the video recording and resume recording the same file. On Nexus5 I have to record numerous short videos and then stitch them to a final video. I gave Camera Awesome a try and it looks great for taking photos, but it doesn't have the pause video recording functionality.
Anybody tried a decent camera app that has this specific function ?
Anybody ?
This cannot be a Samsung only feature, I'm sure I have seen it on other phones
Google is working on a fix for the camera, I would just wait for that. It should be soon.

How can I make video calls? I don't see any options in the dialer app. I am using stock 4.4.4

Hangouts, tango, Skype. There is no option in the stock dialer app for video calls.
I think the standard video calls fell out of favour several years ago so some don't bother adding it as a feature

So there aren't any way to video call a phone number at the moment. I just asked because one of my friend misses this feature.

I'm not aware but if the networks still support it, perhaps 3rd party apps will be able to help?

The network supports it. Me and my friend haven't find any 3rd party dialer app or anyithing. It is a pretty useless feture for me, because video call price is high, but for my friend in the country where he lives the price of the video call is the same as the normal call.
I read it somewhere that video call is not supported at all in the USA through carrier networks. I think that could be the reasone why it is missing. D820 and D821 share the exact same software.
I think its missing because no one really uses it. About 10 years ago, it was popular for about year but after that no one used it really as its pretty pointless. Particularly now we have better data infrastructures and people can use their allowance
