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.
Hey!
During last few weeks I've tested more than 20 different versions of modded Google Camera.
I'm sharing the version which is the best in overall as a non-stock Camera app for G6+ (I'm using european variant - XT1926-3).
What is working:
Night Sight (comparison to Moto Camera below)
Panorama
Portrait
Camera (standard mode)
Video (4K, 1080p, 720p)
Photo Sphere
Photobooth
Lens
Slow Motion
Bugs:
You tell me!
DOWNLOAD Google Camera 1.3 for Moto G6 Plus: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TzuNPCXoxsi0dRHa8FQLlNm19WMkmKja
Comparison 1: CLICK
Comparison 2: CLICK
Comparison 3: CLICK
It works really really, thank you! It hurts that slow motion and zoom does not work well ... then everything is great, especially night mode[emoji106][emoji106]

How is your experience with Android 9.0, still working without any problems?
Any update?
Works like a charm in Android 9, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Now i'm using this: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e.apk
Works too much better than the suggested here.

Nice! Thaks for sharing! Working fine on Pie.
Which options do you see working better? Are you using default settings?
I have just installed, and despite al developer options, I can't see any improvements (yet!).
Every Google Camera 6 I've tried had the same problems in my G6+:
- Every version's video recording doesn't work well at 60fps (tested the frames with MediaInfo, gets average of 10~20 fps for some reason), 30fps works stable. Moto cam outputs 60fps perfectly.
- Slow Motion crashing in some versions but it was fixed changing "240FPS" to "120FPS" because I think this phone can't output 240
- Night pictures (without using night mode) look weird, the GCAM tries to light it up too much and it ends up looking bad and reddish. Night mode pics look better but again makes the pic like it's day and not night. Default cam at night has less detail but pictures don't look bad, I guess this is a matter of preference. It's probably the phone and I know night pictures look better in other phones but I have zero knowledge of photography to play with the options.
Also tried the last Google Camera 5 version and the video recording at 60fps works properly, no night mode though.
Still, Gcam pics have more detail and look (generally) better than the default Moto cam pics so I will keep testing if I have time.
Right now I have these versions installed that "work":
From celsoazevedo's site:
Google Camera 6
- MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V2e
- MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v7.1_san1ty
- Version that OP posted. Haven't had much time to test but it still has the 60fps problem and doesn't come with the extended developer options.
Google Camera 5
- Arnova's v7beta9
Would also like to know if you have these problems too.
Why GCaM, forgot to include SD support ?? Even the stock Moto Camera have built it...

What is missing in current version? What's your need?
Camera normal não funciona!
Olá amigo. Acabei de baixar e instalar o app e quando vou fotografar da erro e fecha o app. As outras funções funcionam muito bem.
Is "portrait" mode here meant to provide bokeh? I can't see any difference between that and the normal camera mode. Also, I think my original camera app on the G6+ had a slider to change the bokeh intensity. I can't seem to find that here?
AFAICT portrait just zooms in a bit more, but both seem to use the same camera on the back.
Hi to everyone.
To tell you that this version: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_6.2.030_RN7_V1a_FINAL.apk works great on my G6 Pie stock with security patch on May 1st.
Every option works 100% (again, on my XT1926-6). So, test on your phone and tell us, this is a mod from BSG for Redmi Note 7. Enjoy!

Bokeh doesn't seem to work with this apk either.
I'm getting this device soon, I wonder if anyone has tried using Google Cam ? Does it even work?
A working GoogleCam port will give the excellent image processing software from the pixel 4. Maybe this can boost camera quality even further.
You find different versions to try from here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Update: GCam Go seems to be working
bugs : no HDR, no video recording

Why have you linked to that particular dev? Does his version work best for Huawei devices namely P30 series? Or if you know from personal testing is there a better variant for P30 series?
Thanks.
Hi,
For those with the POCO X3 Pro, what is the best GCam that is currently available to use - most stable, with better quality, etc....
I have tested some GCams from X3 NFC, but is a shot in the dark - some work, but i think is room to improve in the quality (could be some settings/configs too).
Maybe someone here found a specific one that works better
EDIT: This is my opinion after a few months: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gcam-for-x3-pro.4256287/page-12#post-86486777
I also hope to have a good GCam soon. While Stock Cam seems good for video, I'm not happy with the photo quality: there seem to be some aggressive "beautify" settings and filters I could not deactivate yet. At least with my Redmi Note 7 on crDroid and GCam 7.4 I'm able to make much more satisfying photos.

The main camera is good, but of course GCam is always better
I have tested some Gcam versions and they seem to work - most only for photos and there still tweaks to be done... For vídeo yeah, don't use GCam at all.
But maybe someone found a config/version that works best
Since X3 Pro has the IMX582 main sensor I looked which other devices (from Xiaomi) have the same - see on deviceranks.com:
POCO M3 - xda GCam thread (Nikita 7.4.104 and Wichaya 1.8.3 mod dicussed)
XIAOMI MI 9T / XIAOMI REDMI K20 - xda GCam thread (URNYX) - GCam MIUI thread (Urnyx, Parrot with config hidynamic v12)
XIAOMI REDMI K40
Will try later.
I'm trying this:
NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_eng.apk
drive.google.com
And it is working properly, thanks @ChriMo

This works like a charm!
Is even possible activate the extra sensors in the "Advance" setting. We can use the deph sensor, macro, wide and (of course) main sensor
Nice. I installed NGCam_7.4.104-v2.0_cam.apk (com.ngcam.camera) which should allow to try other GCams alongside. Here is the Nikita folder @ celsoazevedo - he already works on the 8.1 version.
The 7.4.104 version so far seems to work fine also for me. Unfortunately in the Config directory I could not find any model with the same main sensor, as I would expect some optimization might be possible.
I plan to compare to the Redmi Note 7 GCam pictures in the same conditions to have a comparison. I was strongly hoping the 48 MP IMX582 Exmor RS would provide at least the same experience as the 48 MP ISOCELL GM1 in the RN7, at least deviceranks.com lists it slightly better (#32 vs. #39). So far I'm not sure but still hope the combination with the powerful CPU allows a good experience. With my RN7 beside Night Pictures I'm pretty happy.
Some quick test NGCam 7.4.104 v2.0 VS Stock cam app.
This is just a quick test, no config, just shots after install.

Of course, night mode is still the best using NGCam.
But i actually prefer the Stock camera for regular photos - more saturated colors, but NGCam have more natural tones.
I downloaded the Gcam below and it works out of the box!
BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix
Download MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com
In the Telegram Poco X3 Photography group
a) member Park Q claims Marco's 7.3_GCam_MJL_v4.3_Minilux.apk (2020-08-31, oneplus 6/6t) is optimized for 582 and 586 sensor. He has also posted two configuration XML files (Flat & Zoom)
b) member Team XKlaus claims MGC_8.1.101_A9 (BSG, 2021-03/04) allows 4k @ 60fps
Searching for "IMX582 celsoazevedo" I found the following:
UltraCVM_v4.apk (UltraM8, 2020-05-10, configs)
UltraCam_3.2.3.apk (UltraM8, 2020-02-19, configs)
UltraM8 bases off Urnyx05 or Arnova8G2 versions with additions and tunings ... with main focus on the IMX586 sensor (primary device Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro).
In Config Files for burial's GCam 7.2.x there is Xiaomi Mi A3 » mi-a3-x.j.b.-ver.1.xml which contains the string: Main Sensor: IMX582 (same as IMX586 without 4K and Stab
(Xiaomi Mi A3 has Sony IMX586 Exmor RS)
I need to look into this but share so we may find some basic optimization based on existing IMX582(586) configs what GCams might be good.
Just to clarify my focus:
a) good natural daylight main cam pictures (no oversharpening, no oversaturation, etc.)
b) 1080p 24fps EIS ExtraSmooth (Steady) Videos (no refocus, no pumping, no artefacts) possibly with UltraWide for less crop
c) Special Features like 1) Time Lapse 2) Slow motion 3) Night etc.
d) 4k 24fps EIS as good as possible like 1080p
I made a GSheet comparison: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...kpsmnix1jUWCr2SMdPl_wprc8/edit#gid=1775206814

You can use the 3 sensors, but only found in settings the main one havng specifc support.
I'm not sure what's the benefit though...
As I said, I'm a kind of newbie here So I tried to configure things to what made sense to me, like enabling pixel bining, but some might prefer to disable it to have pics with better definition...
Happy to hear feedback and suggestions, if we get a good xml file we could post it on Nikita folder @ celsoazevedo
In the Telegram Poco X3 Photography group there are a lot of XML files now mainly for
MGC by BSG (preferred by most it seems)
NGCam by Nikita
User P.A. likes CamStellar
Another user (can't find the post) stated Arnova is working on X3P optimization.
Preview of pics might only work after you change gallery settings in options.
Member Park Q, Suresh Dreamer and others stated that the basic color balance / white balance setup in the Xiaomi Firmware is bad and can not be fixed with GCam+XML or even with RAW. I also noticed a slight magenta shift/tint in pics (less in videos), which seems less "natural" then on my other smartphone cams. So with vidoes I'm happy, with Pics I have not found yet a "natural" outcome.
I have this version: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1500/
It is optimized for IMX582 sensor: Everything works perfectly. The best config is: (damm10-best-mi-9t-v4.xml)
You can find it under the link to Xiaomi Mi 9T / Redmi K20, which have the same sensor as Poco X3 Pro.

According to guys on Telegram, this is not on par with other ports.
NGCAM is still seen as best overall (especially in low light), MGC being a bit more natural in colors in good light conditions.
If some people are not on Telegram and want to get the XML files for NGCAM and MGC, they can be shared here too.

I tried different versions, including NGcam, and in each of them something didn't work and the application crashed. I'm really happy with this version, because it works without any problems and is very stable, including video. There are not unnecessarily many settings as in the new versions, which the average person does not understand anyway and was directly optimized for Redmi K 20 (40) and Mi 9T, which have the same sensor as Poco. Night mode also works great and the quality of the photos is much better than with stock cam. Just a minor edit: After trying different settings, I think, the most universal config I have the best experience with under different conditions, is this: AIO-Mevcetin-Urnyx05.xml
If someone wants to have the latest version, it's ok, but unfortunately at the cost of lower stability.

No issue if you prefer that build of course, was just trying to brdige discussions between Telegram and XDA
One clarification as well, I've not seen anyone trying to race for latest version, all comments are around functionalities and picture qualitiy.
Btw, MGC now has new XML with EIS enabled.
I like the "steady video" function in the Stock Cam v4.3 because it is very smooth even if with substantial crop.
GCam MGC 8.1.101 lets select from four video stabilisation modes: Standard, Locked (2xZoom), Active, Cinematic Pan (1/2 Speed muted) but none seems similar to Stock steady.
So I am seeking for a GCam which has similar smooth steady EIS as Stock.
For Photography because the lack of serious and comprehensive comparisons I'm still undecided what I prefer: Stock. MGC or another GCam. MGC at least seems to be the more "natural". NGC (haven't tried myself) seems to be better in low light but does color boost/saturation.

That's the GCam version I prefer to use anyway, thanks for the update. I would like to try out the XML, but it's not available on the MGC's download page.
Hi, I wanna report here what i think is a HUGE problem of poco x3 pro (but i think poco f3 too), the stock camera...... the stock camera of poco have is very bad, even worst of xiaomi cam...... on Black shark 4 for example we have a better Dynamic range, Better details and more options (like 4k/60fps) with the same camera sensor...... so why this probelm? and ALSO the videplayer software is limited too! if i rec a 4k/60fps video with Gcam (it works fine) i can't play it properly, i need to use VLC or another Video player app....... so... i ask to you.....is it possible to change Stock camera or to update it?

To update the stock camera is a big NO,to change the stock camera is easy use Gcam or AMX camera(has a similar interface to stock camera ).
