[Q] Audio quality when recording video

Nexus 5, 4.4.3, google play camera app, 2.2.024.
I've recorded a couple of videos recently and although I was really impressed with the video quality, the sound is a bit rubbish. It has a slightly underwater, washy edge to it which must be due to a high compression rate (a bit like a 64kbps mp3). I can't seem to find an option to change the bit rate, and can't seem to find any alternative video apps (camera zoom fx doesn't record video).
Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!
Loads of threads about this.. There is no real answer.

It looks really cool man. Will consider to buy one.
How well do you think the 360 cam would work as a dash cam?
Probably overkill
I'm also considering it for a possible dashcam, but what are the practicalities like? Can you just plug it into a USB charger and have it record continuously (1 hr+) to a sd card, or are there some limits?
From memory it's 4gb video size max.
New beta software has arrived play store after some time they take back 5.2.2 to 5.1.1
software says for new features (3d audio for example) need to update firmware but when checks no new firmware found(also check with bridge
). Do u know anything about that?
Old thread, but i dig him out...
Got the camera yesterday for small money. Less money = less risk i thought.
The first impression: Video & photo quality are lower than expected.:crying:
Tried some apps from play store to handle the camera. THan i had made a firmware update because the camera doesn’t support life monitoring with the old firmware. (LGbridge) Now it seems to work alright.
The camera uses BT connection to control the hardware and uses the w-lan to transfer picture data to smartphone.
You can change between full automatic and manual mode. I tried the auto mode at first.
After a few experiences, the results are a little bit disappointing. Under low light, the results are noisy and a little bit unsharp.
The visible quality is lower than expected.:crying: BTW: Between the front and rear pictures, there is a small visible cutting edge.
I hope, this will be fixed in next release!
I think, i will give the project a last chance with daylight now. Thinking about to return the camera to dealer....

Edit:
ok, got better results using "daylight" ! Of curse not the same quality as the LG5 camera will do, but acceptable for me.
tried to make some records like GOOGLE does. Driving along the street with G360 on top of the car. That was amazing!
tried to edit 360 video with AndroVid and it worked for me! (cutting and adding sound, no color effects or titles!) Hope i will find more apps to handle my videos.
tried to edit a 360° picture with "snapseed" and "photo editor" and it work!
see my pic in attachment. I have cut me out!
BTW: after uploading my pic, it is only 5% of size as the original one. (4,5MB>245kb)
The quality is very reduced now compared to the original!
There is a new firmware available for 360 cam. Version "L"! Can’t see any differences until now. Was described as a camera optimization only. No new features.
max. record time ~20min / ~2.3Gb. - nothing changed!
no new fw until now.

Instagram Picture/ Video Poor Rear Camera Quality

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

Low Audio in Recorded Videos

Dear All Pixel 2 Users,
I bought my pixel 2 yesterday and I have observed that recorded video has very low audio volume I feel that this is because of the fact that Mike is not able to properly capture the audio while recording.
I tried to check the forums but did not get any help in this regard . Therefore I'm making a new thread and and hope that if you have come across this issue where the recorded video has low audio.
Same issue has been seen while recording videos in Instagram, Snapchat & other XYZ applications .
Pl can help me out so as to how to fix this issue or if this issue has already been addressed by Google you can let me know I'll be more than glad for your help in this regard looking forward for some constructive information.
I'm attaching a recorded file from the camera application of pixel 2 & after the recording I played the file & found that the audio level was low despite keeping my media volume at the top.
Hope it helps.
Also I'm uploading two videos recorded simultaneously on Instagram:
1. Pixel 2 (little warmer video)
2. One Plus 5 (more of highlighted)
Thanks in advance.
I just realized that I'm unable to upload the files so I'll provide the link to the same.

To be quite honest with yo, I believe that the sound quality is better on the pixel 2. Also, apparently the February update fixes some mic issues

Hello,
I don't have any issue with the sound quality. It's amazing. Just when you record something, the output file video has very low audio.

Pixel 3 + Android 10 + 1080p Autofps mode = FAIL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgY5ADPvwiM
Why Google ? Tottally unusable videomode, tons of dropframes and lags. Maybe you need fix libcam drivers for imx363 chip on Android 10 ?
Btw. On PIE 9.0 1080p autofps mode looks good:good: im using latest stock Google Camera ver 6.3.26
October update DONT fixed that problem Hey google whats wrong ? Flagship phone cant record normally video 1080p ....
VIDEO nr 2
Has anyone noticed a similar problem with your pixel 3 ? I have this problem with Gcam 6.3.20, 6.3.26, 7.1.15 on Android 10.

Nope everything is recording fine here, smooth like water!
frame loss and lag only appears when the camera wants to return from 60fps to 30fps. if the conditions are poor and the camera does not reach 60 FPS then there are no lags and the video is as smooth as water, yes. even my wife noticed that this is losing frames and that's something on PX camera 1.1 60fps works great for me, autofps tragedy I can't look at it
I returned to Android 9 PIE and finally the problem was solved. Autofps works great. Google has to do something about it, Pixel 4 has in addition to 3 modes of autofps / 30fps / 60fps, maybe Google will graciously do the same with Pixel 3. At the moment Android 10 for video recording in autofps mode is broken. Perhaps it is the fault of the underdeveloped drivers or bad clocks that manage the cpu speed.
