Is it possible to have the camera app on video recorder mode continue recording even with the screen off? I just got a nexus one, switch from an iPhone which could do this via cycorder. Sometimes I'll record videos which are over two hours long but the screen being on it kills the battery really fast.
Is there any way I can solve this?
Hi everyone...
I'm looking for an app that would be running on my Android (Galaxy Note II) that would work as a dash camera... The app would be constantly recording, but would only save the video (the last 20 seconds, for example) when I press a button on the app... The idea is that I would put the phone on my car and drive... but I only want to save the video if I see something interesting happening or that just happened...
Has anyone seen an app that can do that? I tried AutoGuard and Dashboard Cam, but they record all the time...
Thanks!!

Hi.
I need to start and stop video recording remotely. I tried to use the wired headset, I can start and stop the video with the volume buttons, but the stock camera app is using the headset's mic instead of the internal mic which is not good for me.
I installed soundabout from playstore, I tried to disable the detection of the mic of the headset, but the camera app is still using the headset mic...
I installed camera remote from playstore - I have android wear smartwatch - it's working fine, but it can't record in FullHD with 60 FPS.
Any suggestions?

I'm thinking tasker or automate it, there's a camera plug in for automate it but it only seems to take pics not video, there's bound to be a way to do it.

I'm recording squash games, the phone is on glass, and I need to start and stop after each game without taking the phone off from the glass.
I even tried with bluetooth headset, but the volume buttons on the BT headset do not control the camera application at all, it's adjusting the volume...
Maybe I need to use a 3rd party camera application, but neither I tried is able to record in 60 fps fullhd. I don't understand why, I think the capability of the camera can be queried by the application, so all is needed to let the user choose from the settings the camera is capable of. But it seems camera application developers are hard coding the formats I can choose from.
Hello,
trying the video camera with third party apps, i noticed this weird squeak sound while autofocusing
clip here: youtu.be/bNSNSiVkiQg
with the native camera app i don't have this problem, but the stereo sound is inverted! even weirder: it does this from the second video i record after i reboot the phone. the first one is fine, then they all have audio inverted right<->left
any advice? (other than factory reset)
can you please test if you have the same issue? if it is, it mean it is a problem of the device itself and should be noted to huawei.
it's easy checking the left/right channel simply by blowing on the sides of the phone (lower mic is right, upper mic is left) with the audio recorder app it works always fine. with video, you need to make at least 2 of them because the problem comes from the second one. at least for me...
thanks

thanks! have you tested with the video app or with the audio recording app? if with video it's like this and with the audio recorder it's bottom/right; upper/left. i'm not the only one.
edit. also, turning the phone while recording (bottom to the right or to the left in portrait mode), it's always swapped. when bottom is to the right, audio of that side is on the left, and vice versa

thanks a lot!
if the third party camera app audio issue is confirmed too, we may confirm another "fature"... :/
i did the video with google camera (but also tried cinema fv-5) and the auto focusing noise it there, not always, but most of the time. expecially when it struggles focusing.
anyone willing to try? this is not as easy to reproduce, but definitely there.
hi all,
testing again, I noticed that the noise is most likely mechanical. it is possible to ear it in a silent environment while switching from camera to video with the stock camera app.
here's a recording of it
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzRd4ezyPZACZXY4WkoyREFESnM/view?usp=drivesdk
it's the same of the video in the opening post youtu.be/bNSNSiVkiQg
can you guys check if it's a common problem? the customer service just keep saying to factory reset, but that does nothing... (also cleaned camera app cache many times)
thanks

Did you ever solve this, or is it purely hardware? I noticed a horrible squeak on PA Rom and on 3rd party cameras on stock.
It's hardware, cannot solve this
