How to Fix Video Stutter - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Has anyone here experienced any video stutter when recording? I noticed this in my XZ when recording 30fps Intelligent Active steadyshot. I'm not on Stamina Mode so I don't know what's causing it. I'm on the latest version of Nougat btw.

Yes I also have the same problem. Is there any fix for this problem as it is very annoying.

I have this also on latest Nougat :/

Same here both USA and Japan version

Same here. Anyone tried factory reset?

Is it like severe stuttering or like a lower framerate viewfinder than it should be? Like it's not smooth motion? Because if it's the second one, I see it as well, but mostly when Object tracking is enabled. I usually shoot in 60 FPS so it's less noticable. That being said, while shooting, there is some stuttering in both 30 and 60 FPS, but when I watch the videos they are fine and as they should be, it's only the viewfinder that stutters sometimes a bit, I guess because of the processing. Disabling Auto scene mode might help as well.
It might be that Sony lowered viewfinder framerate to reduce cpu usage and battery drain while recording.
Do your videos also come out stuttering or are they fine when watching them?
Same is in recording 4K, there is some stutter while recording, but the video comes out smooth and fine.
This issue seems similar to stuttering issue when watching some movie rips, for some reason some lower resolution lower bitrate movies stutter, but watching FullHD and 4K works fine without stuttering, but while doing that all cpu cores throttles up and get utilized properly. In the movies where it stutters, only two cores get bumped up clock speed, while the other two mostly stay at lowest clocks. It could be a codec issue, where it doesn't use all he cores as it should when it should. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz/help/platinum-xz-rev-2-0-video-playback-t3576686
In general, lately, Sony has been heavily optimizing their OS in favor of preserving battery life, but in some cases they went too restrictive and conservative to a point that the chipset isn't working at its full power when you need it to.

I noticed it too, first few seconds of taking a video then it becomes smooth again...

Right. Upon further testing, I noticed it happens more ofthen in lower light conditions or when switching from low light to good light when it changes exposure and brigthness. It's mostly OK when in good light.
So it seems like the processing of the video recording, the auto adjustments of the scene and object tracking is causing some framerate drops in the viewfinder, but it really doesn't concern me as long as the final video turns out smooth as it should.

Weirdly my videos turn out laggy, i took 2 videos last week on the beach (excellent light), both of them lag when played back just the first few seconds exactly as it showed on the viewfinder while taking them.

I have this as well on my stock XZ Dual (F8332)
Hoping to find a fix
on my current firmware (41.2.A.7.65) the issue is less prominent. But I still get a little stuttering at the beginning of video's

Hold your hand still, no issues here.

This is not a constructive comment and is not at all helpful.
There is a bug in the current Nougat build causing stutter/lag when recording video. I am experiencing it on my Xperia X Performance as well.

Has anybody done a factory reset to see if the problem goes away?
Clearing the cache did not help

It's not. Unfortunately.

Upgrade to 41.2.A.7.53 solved it for me.

I am on 41.2.A.7.53 and I still have the issue (in fact I started noticing it only since the last update)
F8332 - CDA:1305-2218 Customized HK
Stock software, no root, no BL unlock, etc.

I have the phone for more than 6 months and I had no problem with videos until recently when I went to vacation and my vacation video got ruined with lag

I'm on the latest update and still experiencing this stuttering.
Turning off steady shot did seem to help

If video is on SD try to record on phone memory. Recordind on SD is slower than on phone memory.

Does anybody still suffer from this? It seems to hit only a limited amount of users
(after several updates I still have this issue)

GTA 3 stutter

I'm running GTA 3 v1.3 on my Note and I'm noticing some stutter. Not stutter as in low framerate, but some micro-hangs when driving around. Framerate is very good, but this stutter is not normal. My Galaxy S, while running at a much lower framerate and no audio doesn't exhibit this. It's like read speeds from the internal SD aren't high enough to stream data to the RAM, and this leads to lag. Anyone else having this?
I'm running stock LA4, stock CPU,very few apps installed. Could this be ROM related? I didn't notice this in videos of GTA3 on the Note on YouTube.
Any ideas?
Galaxy S: 800x480
Galaxy Note: 1280x800
The Note has to push A LOT more pixels than the S. GTA doesn't stutter here, but i'm running custom kernel, Franco #7 on LB1 deodexed w/ few stock apps ++.
I'm not talking about framerates. Framerates are high. This is the kind of stutter like there isn't enough RAM.
The only explanation I can give is that SD-card read rates are not high enough.
Hasn't anyone else experienced this on stock ROMs?
Please, can anyone check this on their Note? I'm running LB1 with franco-7 kernel and this is still present. Framerate is even higher now (with frame limiter off, ofcourse) due to the 400 Mhz GPU clock, but it still stutters. This didn't happen on GTA 3 v1.0 when I first tried it when it came out. It could be GTA's fault and not the phone's.
It does this no matter the graphics settings. Even on lowest resolution and view distance and everything else off...
Thanks for the help.
I haven't been playing all that much, but I definitely have had some hangups too, about 0.3-0.5 seconds long.
I assume this is GTA related problems, some caching might be done in the main thread only when certain models/textures are needed, causing the lags. I played several HD games, and others seem to be better at smooth performance.
I had the same problem initially. It would pause for a split second every once in awhile.
Inadvertently because I had just got my phone and was just testing - I had to reinstall and it seemed to run perfectly. I don't know if it's a different version/update (how do you tell?) but I believe it was GTA Anniversary Edition 1.03
Yeah mines the same hangs for a split second maybe once every half hour or something. Not a major issue, its never really bothered me with it not happening very often.
Moved To Themes and Apps​
you need to uncheck something from graphic setting mate. if i remember well was lowering viewing distance or something like that... it worked for me after.give it a shot.
I have a problem where it vibrates randomly... Any ideas
No one encountered this?
Yeah, vibrates randomly for me too.
I don't know about the stutter. Don't think this is the phone. It used to run nice and now, despite the good framerate it stutters like mad. Really annoying. Or maybe the borked something in the latest update (v1.3).

Try turning vibration feedback off. Its in options>audio>vibration feedback.
I made it much smoother by unselecting the Max frame rate option I believe, I also installed chainfires 3d app so that may have also contributed.

720p recording is jumpy. Select 480 and your results will be much better.

This is the most well known bug of ICS and jb ROMs...it has nothing to do with the camera app itself...its something with the drivers/memory
So there is nothing you can do...except going back to GB :/

So the infuse needs a new camera driver? Or possibly better memory allocation?
I might have this slightly wrong because I'm not able to access my notes at the moment but the problem is this:
Our camera (and most others) works by generating, dumping, then starting a preview again. When it records (after the restarted preview), it should enqueue "empty" buffers that should then be written to (as it records). That written data is released through the codec, allowing the buffer to be released from the queue so it can then be enqueued again to be written to (it's the circle of life, camera-style!). This has to happen quickly enough for "clean" buffers to reenter the queue, but for some reason that doesn't happen. Instead, the function that should be removing buffers from the queue is failing. Finding out why this is happening is extremely difficult because there are so many places that could be failing. Samsung have given us bum code (or none in the case of the camera hal) - or, to be precise, they've given us generic Linux drivers, that don't always reflect customizations they've made. I suspect that the problem is partly in the codecs and partly in the construction of the camera hal.
Anyone who knows about this, when I was looking over the manufacturer's sheet for what I think is our camera, it looked like the problem might be in the implementation of fimc_v4l2_reqbufs in the camera hal. According to that sheet, there is a relation between that and fimc_v4l2_dqbuf that, if improperly implemented, would cause fimc_v4l2_dqbuf to fail.
THANKS! for the in depth analysis. I think I can help narrow this problem down. After reading this I think that problem may lie with the initial buffering portion. But I think that i'm assuming this prematurely. First i'm assuming that recording only applies to video and not snapshots (Camera doesn't seem to flicker when only taking pictures, even at high resolution). Second i'm assuming that camera features and filters will require an extra amount of buffering to work correctly (not only is 720p a problem, but different snapshot scenery effects don't work at all).
Another thing i noticed is that 720p recording flickering is proportion to the amount of light you have. A dim room records video at 720p with little to no flickering while a very bright lit room flickers like crazy. Snapping pictures in any light works fine with the exception of camera features.
Light sensors are part of the recording apparatus (part of the camera) and 720p requires higher light sensitivity so...
Increasing the buffers doesn't really make a difference. I made some experimental builds to test. The prob is in the flow of data. Somewhere there's a blockage.

[email protected] lag and no focus ?

Using that setting to record video causes lag in app and sometimes crashes. The image on screen lags, is behind the hand movement during recording. The autofocus is very slow and at times just not working. When I press the stop button lags about 2 seconds before stopping.
Normal 1080p, qhd and uhd are OK, didn't try the lower ones.
I changed between SD card and device storage, same issue.
I cleaned the data and cache for the app, same issue.
Wiped the cache partition, same issue.
Only thing that remains to try is a factory reset.
I have an 32gb exynos s7, with Sony front camera. Made in Vietnam.
Anyone else has this problem ? Is this a known bug ?

also, yeah, i've noticed VERY slow focusing on certain video modes including this one. so this isnt a processor issue for once, it's just a samsung issue lol
Thanks for the input. I'm trying to find out if it's a bug for all or just a few bad devices. Until now I know we are 4 with this issue. I'm afraid to go again to all the stores in my area to check the on display units, they probably think I'm up to something

Here is a video where you can see the behavior at this particular settings:

not mine, just found it on yt; last half is where is the most obvious.
I've noticed the focus issue on mine with the latest update. I've also noticed in the settings Tracking AF is not used on FHD 60 and up. (snapdragon, VZW)
Samsung response to focus problems of the S7 video in 60fps
I've asked Samsung (NL) for a response. First they've told me they will look into it, because the problem should not have been present on all devices.
Later they've added it's a hardware issue and can not be solved by a software update. So no solution: S7 has crappy 60 fps video so live with it.
Very dissapointing. 60fps is one of the features I've needed for recording. A big let down from Samsung.

Video freezing/stutter

So, bought a mineral black Xperia XZ, and I'm mostly pleased.
There is however a very annoying "bug".
Video is literally unwatchable. I think it's something to do with the HW decoder (video stutters madly when launched from the Album app), because when I first discovered the bug, I installed MX Player pro.
Nothing changed. Stutters and freezes only when played via HW decoder, but if I switch to SW/HW+, the stutter is gone.
Anyone else experienced this?
Bump
Are you talking about the videos made by the phone? If not, maybe the video that you're trying to watch is too much for the phone?
What are the video parameters of the clip?

Videos from my phone (those taken with the camera too) work fine.
Never had trouble with playing those videos on my Z1c, Z3c, Z5c and LG G4, so it's kind of weird.
Did you put them on the internal memory or the SD card?
Maybe SD card is the culprit.

There are some that are on the SD card (Samsung 32GB, UHS1), but it happens to those that I download to the internal storage too.
Happens only when using HW decoder (I believe Sony's default video player uses HW by default) in Album/Video and MX Player.
Try using VLC media player, in built video player is very good but unfortunately lacks AC3 and DTS support.
If your video won't play smoothly with VLC I don't know what could be wrong with the file or with your device.

You know what, ure one of the rare ones that experienced same problem as me. But in my case, switching too hw+ or sw didnt help at all.
All possible video decoding opttions didnt help. I still had same stutter. I sended the device too servis demanding replacement do to the factory error. (if it was software issue , people would complaining about it, and they dont)

While I'm surprised that playing the video in HW+/SW mode didn't help you, the only thing I know is that it most definitelly isn't a software issue, since I flashed different versions of the original firmware (full reset) yet the issue continued to persist each time.
Even though I managed to bypass the problem with said steps, it still bugs the crap out of me to the point of constant thinking about replacing the device with a different OEM's flagship.

Just because you tried different software versions doesn't mean it's not a SW issue. If the issue is in the kernel or driver and Sony isn't aware of the issue, they'l never fix it even when they update the software (they migh by accident if they change something for other purposes and it fixes this issue as well). Not to mention different region softwares, they share the same kernels.
From what we "researched" in the other thread Dreadish started here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz/help/platinum-xz-rev-2-0-video-playback-t3576686 , to me it looks like a SW issue, because if it was a HW issue, I doubt the phone would be perfectly fine with playing 4k and [email protected] Specially because switching from sw to hw decoding makes no difference, it's like the chip is being held back at the kernel level, not allowing it to throttle up and process certain videos as it should.
If it was a hw issue, wouldn't switching to sw decoding help?
Just thinking out loud here, I'm not sure.
As I said in the other thread, if this was an issue with all of the videos, it would be a different story, but the only video I noticed that in was the one Dreadish uploaded.
Btw, how does Youtube playback behave? Do videos stutter there as well? Is there any difference in switching resolutions in YT? Like for example 480p vs 1080p and such? You guys should test that.

Thanks for the reply, and your insight into this problem.
I'm not really 'that' tech savy when it comes to kernels and stuff, so your input is largely appreciated.
And yes, tried YT at pretty much every resolution, no issues.
Im leaning towards to the Kernel issue and software. Its 50% chance sony will repair this in next big update. 50% beacose after stock marshmallow, next three or so updates (incl Nougat versions) didnt solved that potencial throttling or any other issue that XZ has when playing encoded videos.
Xperia X (f5121) had the perfect Kernel imo-they just did something in XZ Kernel then , that fuk...ed things up in video rendering. I own X phone before Xz, and EVERYTHING was working flawlesly. Sound, video, performance. im kinda sorry that i ever let go that phone. SD650 handled pretty much everything.

Honestly, I'm past caring about the issue. After having 5 Sony flagships, I'll be ditching this one in favor of the S7 (mostly due to it's size).

I'm really curious how the XZs will behave, I have a hunch it'll be the same thing.
If I get the chance, I'll test it.
I have the same hunch .... Ill do the same if i have chance too get it. also ill test XZ with Nougat 7.1.2 when its comes out.
I just found out, that XZs isnt gonna be available in our Market. So i guess thats that lol. Im considering if its gonna be a miracle and Sony DOES repair this in 7.11/7.12 Nougat , im maybe gonna buy the handset again . Cause u gotta be honest, XZ is a beast when it comes too grafic performance, especialy Benchmarks in GFX are on top , even against newest flagships. Wich reminds me, how mad i still am, beacose of this encoded videos bug. Damn you Sony

Laggy videos at 1080p 30fps

I have some serious lag when shooting at 1080p 30fps. My device simply cannot make smooth videos, each of them is laggy. At least 1 frame always drops after some seconds. When I started using it 1 month ago, it wasn't the same, but now I just can't record videos with this phone. Anyone else experiencing that?
This phone has just stopped being capable of making videos - again. The situation is even worse than it was in the beginnings. The Miui 12 update brought back all the laggy stuttering, i just simply cannot shoot useful videos with the phone now, again. As it was mentioned before, it was usable in the last months - as much as i can remember, the problem was solved by the A10 update. But now, this phone is a crap when it comes to creating videos. (Both 1080p and 4k 30 fps.)
I've really had enough, f*ck xiaomi and this crap phone, they sell it as a cameraphone, and still, in 2020 this device is unable of making real motion picture. Their update policy is shocking, how can an upgrade ruin a basic function like that? It is ridicolous that xiaomi is unable to build phones that are capable of shooting smooth videos. I'm really tired of it, time to say this company ciao, and evade their phones - whatever they promise in their ads.
yes her same lag on 1080p 30fps im on miui 11.0.5 china stable

Am on 11.0.12.0 and 30fps is fine, no frame drop, i hope what you mean by laggy is not the stabilizing motion in effect when recording. (The counter movement by the image stabilization to prevent shake, it sometimes looks like if the video is delayed in movement)

No, it is simply laggy. Maybe I should upload a sample somewhere.
I tried to play these videos on different PC-s using different media player programs, but still, most of them are laggy. And my Mi Note 10 simply can't play its own videos without lag/framedrop, no matter which resolution/fps I record at. Is it playing its own videos smoothly for you?
(In some videos, it is just a playback error (which is not OK at all), because when I play them on my PC, they're OK. But in most of the videos, there is lag, framedrops at the same time, no matter, which program I use.)
Here are some short samples recorded at 1080p 30 fps. No matter, in which media player program/app I play them, no matter on which PC or which smartphone, there are lags (or framedrops) at the same moments of the videos. 9 out of 10 videos are like these or worse when I shoot with Xiaomi Mi Note 10 unfortunately. Is it just me, or does anyone else experience these problems?

It can be clearly seen in the first part of the video, it's like if it stopped for some moments.

Wait until the 2nd half of the video, when it turns back, there are some major lags.
I also have the same issues
I also have the same issues in particular in 4K photography - really disappointing I bought the phone because of the camera and it was a bad choice. And most YouTube reviewers have hidden the problem because they are profiting from sales - shame !!

Exactly, same here. Now I regret buying it, I should sell it.
In 4K and 1080p 60 fps it's even worse, much much worse. These functions are simply useless.
i just hope i can replicate your issue. but i can't. recording went just fine. probably something buggy in rom,kernel,app, not sure.
I always use 60fps so it's not a problem for me but it's just the 4k which is not smooth at all but I don't have noticable stutter issues or frame drops. Hopefully we can see a stable 4K soon. This is a sample of my device.

Forgot to mention that 4K/30fps works great on ULTRACAM!

I see. And do you have any advise, what to do, how to solve it?
And this is a 4k video sample by ultracam totally fine.

How about factory reset ? Or reflash ROM ?

I've done factory reset, it didn't help. I have never done Rom flash before, not sure how to, I will search for it.
FIXED
I installed the latest version of HyperCam and it fixed all my problems - - Please note the app is not in the store and need to be installed externally
Look for - mediafire.com/file/wlm7b78gjfi08fv/HyperCam_S_v1.2-rZ-End_API2-Level3.apk/file
Still?

I have some serious lag when shooting at 1080p 30fps. My device simply cannot make smooth videos, each of them is laggy. At least 1 frame always drops after some seconds. When I started using it 1 month ago, it wasn't the same, but now I just can't record videos with this phone. Anyone else experiencing that?

Are you still experiencing the same laggy video?

I understand you have the Mi Note 10? Do you recommend it?
Video is not laggy? Other bugs?
I have the same issue since i got the phone, it lags in video recording while panning whoever it feels like, i have experienced lag in 1080p 30fps and 60fps and in 4k is worse, i hope xiaomi updates this, btw using the Gcam mod from Urnyx i can record without lags but using only the main camera.
