Those are your light fixtures. Similar to recording LEDs with slowmotion, you will see them flicker on and off.
Your lights are turning on and off multiple times a second, you cannot see it.

You are totally right. This problem was on the s7 as well.
Hope Samsung solves this problem in future updates which well never happen ?

This isn't a "problem" it's part of how light bulbs work, and how slow motion works. In your house, your lights flicker like that, just fast enough that we can't detect it with the human eye. Slow motion slows this down, which you can then see.

Yours isn't doing what theirs was. Theirs STUTTERS, literally loses frames, yours is doing what it's supposed too. Never losing frames. Just capturing the lights flicking on and off. Again, I know what I am talking about.

Okay my bad i am not trying to proof anything. But what i see and read it's seems to be a common issue .
Edited.
Sorry I was driving and i replied to you i wasn't clear. So you are saying that the light bulbs are flashing at a similar speed to the camera shutter which is making it flash the Low frequency HZ cause the problem am i right?

That is correct.
The video you linked is not losing/dropping frames.
If you want it not to flash, use incandescent bulbs. (They do not switch on and off repeatedly.)

My S8+ has stutter / lag on slow motion mode since upgrade to Oreo. It had too much OTA Upgrade but that has not been fixed.
Is there any idea?

[Q] Autofocus

So im thinking about getting a nexus 5 but I want to know if the autofocus issue was ever fixed?? I love taking photos and videos but if the autofocus makes the camera not really useable in a lot of circumstances then I probably wont get it. Tried to find another thread to see if this problem was corrected by developers via a rom or a flash or if it is hardware related.
I have never had an issue. And I take plenty of photos.

+1 for photos. Not for video though. The autofocus is terrible in videos. It's constantly focusing every 2-3 seconds and it makes the video look really odd.
To OP: No, it hasn't been fixed.
The videos I have taken look just fine. I have a puppy and took videos of her running in the snow and they all came out good.

Not my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFxHkuAfj48
Notice the "pulsing" every 2-3 seconds? That's what I mean. If yours doesn't have that, that's good, but most of us have that problem. I guess it's only noticeable when you don't move the camera.
So based that it is feburary, I'm assuming this is a hardware issue. The video breathing problem is ridiculous and also happens on the Nexus 5. That's my concern. If it has been solved in a rom, then perfect, but if this problem is unfixable then thats a dealbreaker for me. I do alot of videos with my phone and I dont want to pay for a $600 phone if I cant do something basic as record videos on it.

If you are that interested in videos, you should consider in investing an actual video camera. Phones aren't really meant to meet the standards of camcorders and other video capture devices, rather than to just catch an interesting moment of someones live with a casual photo/video. I know it sounds rather inconvenient and superficial, but thats just my two cents on the subject.
Edit: I've never had trouble with the breathing video. But then again I don't really use that option that much.
I can't reproduce the refocus whilst holding it still / panning left or right. I can only reproduce it if I move the lens further or nearer to the object. Not a tiny amount that's analogous with a slight wobble or the human conditions rather feeble attempt at stillness - no. I have to almost exaggerate the movement to trigger autofocus
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
for me it refocuses evety time i move the phone, left/right, up/down, or further/closer. but it doesnt refocus at all when im moving.
not to be graphic but I filmed a video of some dirty deeds and quality was awesome. phone was not moving. I believe some roms have more issues then others. some roms the video is extremely dark and some roms when I take a camera picture with flash is snaps the photo to fast and just captures the flash.

Nexus 5 Mic issue

So I have this issue on my Nexus 5 where when I record something, it makes this HORRIBLE background noise, extremely bad, and I was just wondering if any of you guys have this as well? Because I just got my first RMA on Wednesday, and I don't want to have to get another one, was wondering if you guys know what it's about, and how to fix it and if not so that I can get another RMA.

Did you read all the other mic issue / noise cancellation posts?

I did actually, most of them just gave descriptions of a small hissing sound in the background, and the only page that i've found a post similar to mine, is a article, in which people can only comment, and they describe their issue to be a bit more like hissing and not this almost rain pouring down kind of noise.
I wouldn't make another thread for something I know is already out there.
Can you make an example recording?
Edit.. sorry maybe that's what your link is

It's there on the google drive link.
By the way I'm on Purity ROM with r35 from franco, on ART and with Viper4android, that's about it, issue began today, in my house while I was recording a video of my dog.
That's about all there is to it. I haven't done anything else to my Nexus 5 other than that
EDIT: now I'm almost sure it's not a software issue, i tried other cameras such as Snap Camera and the Instagram camera and snapchat camera, and they all have the same noise. Unless the noise cancellation is the issue, and all these apps use the Nexus 5 noise cancellation feature.

That's really loud but is it always like that? Perhaps its a result of your environment. What if you cover over the noise canc mic?
Its not so much hissing that's the issue. The sound is cancelled when it shouldn't be

Thanks, I just tried that, and it's not the environment, the room during the recordings is dead quiet. I tried covering both mics. but the issue is still there. and no, it wasn't always this loud, from what I remember, it was working fine at the beginning of the video with my dog, and then suddenly that weird noise began
Not sure if you're rooted or not but to rule out software, do a full wipe. Still a problem? RMA. There's definitely a bigger issue there than the standard issue as shown in my video

Anyone experience flickering?

I've played with all Note5's and Edge + phones on display and all of them had screen "flickering" present on high brightness and a white background, like the YouTube search feed or browser home page. It kinda seemed annoying, and I was wondering if you guys see it too. Everyone that I pointed it out to, saw the flickering. It's not bothersome, but I am wondering if it can get annoying under lower brightness conditions, during the night for example. It did seem more prominent on the edge+, but its visible on the note too. All the display model note 4's and s6's did not have such an issue.

No flickering here, but my brightness is set on half or a little higher than that.
Mine flickers when going out of flipboard to the homescreen
None here friend. All brightness levels.

It's the damn overheat protect on the display. It only happens when screen is cranked up. It happened on note 3, custom kernel can get rid of it.

No flickering on mine, just played with it for about an hour on full brightness. My retinas hurt now.

No flickering but half my display has a pink gradient to it....

Does the iris scanner work for you?

I had high hopes for the iris scanner after watching some of the videos on YouTube but for me it's crap! Seems to only work 1 in 20 attempts. I've even reregistered my eyes a few times in different conditions to no avail. I don't wear glasses or contact lenses.
What's everyone elses experience?

Works for me flawlessly.
I registered without glasses and it unlocks with my glasses on. Faster unlocking than the fingerprint
Worked well for Me, but I didn't like having to see my eyes every time I wanted to unlock my phone, fingerprint scanner works great and my finger seems to land on the button when I pull the phone out of my pocket
I've only played with it briefly, and thus far, it seems to work fine. More testing to come.

Same here, works for me with and without glasses.
Mines works 95% of the time. I set up in good lighting. And it works in dark areas. Very good too. I hit just the power button and it unlocks right away.
My wife's is a hit and miss but she is never aiming the phone correctly. Once she does that it works.

Night light messes with Adaptive display

Anyone notice that the display goes bright to dim and vise versa too often when using night light? Thanks.

I noticed this too the first couple days but I think it has settled down over time. What software version are you on?
