After last update any new EVO 720p camcorder recordings are dropping frames, freezing on frames and the audio is mismatched.
Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

I've always had this problem. It's not my SD card either, cuz it's pretty fast.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is this 720p camcorder??

oh....well that's a lot less exciting
The app is actually called camcorder. And its always been crappy for me.

Ditto for me, always been crappy it's a shame too because it looks good until a 5 min video is out of sync by 30 second's.

HTC EVO 4G Camcorder Dropping frames
I've had the problem for over a year. Been to the Sprint store 5 times had hard resets done wiping my phone and no fix. They replaced twice and both new phones do the same thing. Went to the store again today because i'm due an upgrade and they will not do anything but give me another same phone unless I want to get the NEW HTC LTE that would cost $200. They told me that is the only way to fix it. That sounds like crap that I have to pay and switch to another phone to fix the issue.
I can't remember where I read this, but it said to fix this or at least make it better you need to change your read/write speed for your sd card. Haven't tried this myself though, because I don't use the camcorder.

I am using nitrous 1.55 with ca1ne's nitrous kernel. I just ran a few test videos on my own phone. At 128kb r/w under 30 seconds no problem over 30 seconds a little jittery.
After changing r/w speed same thing. I'm sorry that this didn't help out. I was just relaying something I had read, and never tested b/c I don't use the camcorder on my evo. Hope you get this fixed.

Move the readahead speed to 512kb, if it still lags, use 1024kb.. also, it could be the CPU speeds and gov. that's slowing making the video lag.
applied the tweaks to camera and camcorder in registry, applied leo speed overclock.....result = this video, which is this video....can even choose HD!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stfjwW6qWsQ
BUT, took out SDHC Class 4 card, no leo speedoverclock, took away reg mods and got this.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQrgUntwFjQ
bit of a difference I reckon!
Matt
Can you still make captures longer then 5 minutes ?
What are the tweaks exactly ?
Was that a staffy?
oh my god! thats amazing >.<
can u tell us what tweaks exactly u did? really want this too :3
Yeh would love to know the tweaks you used, also did you overclock the phone or was it just with autoscaling off?
What settings you used?
Its hard to tell as the subject, lighting etc are different
The 2nd video is indoors and will always look inferior.
Oh, and do the gardening.
First video is just up-sampled and it's not a true high definition and it's still 4:3...

Here you go. In attachment you can find REG file created by me. It increase recorded video bitrate to 4500kbits. You need to have good memory card. I have Sandisk Ultra class @6 8GB
There is this movie on YouTube.

awsome, ty.
but i got only a class 4 SDHC card, u think it will work too? ill try it today, hope it works fine O.O
EDIT: searched by myself now in the leo tips and tricks thread. realized that my cleanex rom already has everything enabled xD... i just love this rom xD
never recoreded much, so never noticed xD but good to know xD
Try. There is not that much difference between class 4 and 6. If you experience any malfunctions or errors give a feedback. I experience ONCE some problem, when recorded video 30min's long can't be played in phone and PC, but overall it work gr8.
Is anyone else getting a recording failed error while taking HD video. Sometimes it happens after a few seconds or up to a few minutes or not at all. I am stock rooted with the latest update and drm removed. I don't think it has anything to do with this sine on the sprint forums complete stock users expierence the same thing. Does anyone know how t fix this?
Corrupt file system on the SD card? Try backing up all your files and then reformatting the card and try again.

Not a prob. Let me know how it works out for ya.
I have not modified my phone in any way, and I have had this happen a few times as well on highest resolution videos.
Starts camera just fine.. then about 15 seconds into recording it says, "Warning, recording failed."
I would say maybe 2-3 times has this happened to me so far, and I have recorded dozens of videos, so it is a once in awhile thing. Still a bit annoying though.

Actually yes, I filmed a ho-ho-rendous (yes from the sprint ad) christmas light display in my neighbor hood. Worked fine.
I used to have this happen to me only when I was on a custom rom.So I Formated my card which was a pain cause I had to backup 14gb but it has worked for me.No more record failed message.

Interesting, I may have to give that a try. I just tried four tests on stock Froyo (DK28), which I know isn't final, but I was hoping this issue would be fixed. On two of my tests, I recorded for longer than I ever have on the highest res (7 minutes and 8 minutes), I stopped both those recordings manually. My other two tests failed around 25 seconds and 35 seconds. So it's still hit-or-miss for me. I think backing up and reformatting the SD card is next.
I have this problem as well. I also tried reformatting my sd card in an attempt to cure my Epic of this disease to no avail. Anyone else have any suggestions? Or can it be the rom I'm using (Midnight 2.5)?
I tried reformatting as well. It seemed to work for a while but I'm getting the error again. Don't think it's the ROM, it's happening to me on stock Froyo the same as it happened on stock Eclair

Happens to me once in a while as well on stock 2.1
The problem is that the sd card isn't fast enough for reliable hd recording. If you lower quality it will work perfectly. If you reformat sd it will work in hd for a while. If you get a faster sdcard, you'll be set as well. Be sure to read speed test reviews and not just go by the speedclass claimed by the manufacturer. A lot are fast until they get some data then slow down significantly.

Another thing i notice is that with 2.1, the epic records in 3gp and with 2.2.1, it records in mp4, i believe. Can anyone confirm this?
I agree with the card too slow opinion. I did a side by side at the same time and resolution with the evo and epic. The epic always choked and the file wad corrupt. If I did short tests, it worked mostly. During playback and looking at the specifics with videospec, the evo compressed more and it's quality showed it, but it never stopped recording. Changing to a different brand card did not really fix anything.
This is also another reason why I dislike the epic. A second reason, kind of loosely relating to this topic, I don't like the epic with high quality audio recording problems. It studders and skips. The evo was amazing sounding and zero problems.
I'm giving the evo shift some SERIOUS thought right now. I am VERY tempted to go get one tomorrow morning before work.
The 16GB card that comes with the Samsung is only a class 2. It's not capable of keeping up with the recording. Get a class 4 or higher. The video will fail at random times due to varying bit rates of the scene that is being recorded. I bought a class 4, and so far haven't had any issues with the "recording failed". Although, I haven't used it enough since I got the card to be 100% sure.
What is the highest class our epics can use. I saw a class 10 but I read somewhere that the epic can run up to a class 6. Anybody know? Thanks

I've been getting a lag in my video's filmed at 720p quality from my Desire HD
Youtube video of test footage watch?v=x_OLIbLkUWk
Just as it hits 0:13 there is lag which is native on the phone video aswell.
I've filmed quite a bit since them and do get these laggy intervals when filming at 720p quality.
Am I seriously just going to have to accept defeat and film at 800x480?
Any known fixes?

I hope not. I recently got myself a brand new DHD, and can confirm i am experiencing the same issues when recording video -LAG.
I have no idea what the issue could be, I’m thinking maybe the mmc card could be the issue if its only 2x, i'd imagine 720p recoding will require higher speed mmc cards – im using the one which came with the mobile.
lower class of micro sd card perhaps?
With 1.5 GB of RAM, you'd think the DHD would be able to cache a whole lot more than 13 seconds of 720p 3GP video...
I don't remember where, but this has been discussed before, and they didn't think it was the memorycard that was the root of the problem.
To be honest i havent experience lag of any kind when videoing at 720p! Maybe a background task took some resources at the same time! Just a thought.
Have you enabled USB Debugging in the settings?

Have you installed Visionary? I experienced the same thing and when I removed it, the lag was gone. Now I have 'USB debugging' disabled and no lag.
I have a class 10 32gb card which probably isn't causing the problem. My phones not rooted, haven't installed visionary. Plus this occurred when my DHD was vanilla.

My Desire Z sometimes lag in 720p recording too.
I noticed that refocusing when recording cause the lag, but it still lags sometimes even I didn't touch anything.
are you running a live wallpaper, cause in tests i have done running a live wallpaper in the background have made my desire hd lag a lot.

I disabled Live Wallpaper but still the same.
it's like 10~20second per lag.
running stock ROM, Asia-HK
will try to flash another ROM this weekend to see if there is any difference
Um.. 1.5GB of internal storage, not RAM. The phone only(!) has 768MB RAM.

Not completely sure this will help, but what about formatting the SD card in 32 kb sectorsize?
It helped me, when my video recording was "stuttering"
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm using the one that come with the phone, it's already 32KB
Hi, I experienced the same thing : Yahoo mail was runnning background
I also experience lag. Someone needs to inform HTC imo.
i have a working fix besides the 32k cluster format, which simply improves the sd card performance
i simply go to free advanced and i hit end all tasks (the quick version) before launching the camera
it works everytime and if i dont't apply it my film lags, its clearly a multi tasking issue something running in the background causing it
but try my method it works
i tried your solution hamdir and it actually does work! I'l test it some more tomorrow because right now its too cloudy and dark outside which isnt optimal conditions for recording with this phone.
edit: the sun came out so i took another clip. no lag
i think its a certain app that may be causing this. is there a way we can pinpoint exactly which one?
i doubt its one app, i don't know if maybe its htc sense and its sync settings or any app that runs in the background like messengers, either way i can't be bothered looking for it the solution is working and very easy
hopefully gingerbread will eventually solve it, since it has a feature that cleans applications footprint
i just noticed my solution was added to the compilation of DHD issues thread i will also mention it in the camera guide i'm currently preparing

Thanks for the review, however I can't watch the video because my workplace has blocked youtube. What is the overall verdict? Good or Bad? Also, is it waterproof?
I love the look of this watch.
thank you very much for the review, the truth that I like, you know any way I can upgrade to 4.3 to work with smarthpone.

Well its gotten wet in the rain so far withou any adverse effect... Not going to submerge in water tho lol..
Its lacking tru call handling and notifications support at the moment. Doesnt quite 'integrate' with my note 2 just yet (running 4.3)... But i can seemlessly send pictures, apps, video via Bluetooth consistently without any issues. Wifi works 110% perfect.
As a watch its great... Just added GO locker for more variety. Its def for those gadget geeks who are really good with this kind of stuff

Can you tether it to a phone so you can use the phone's internet connection? This is something most smartwatches seem to be lacking, even though it should be included if the manufacturer doesn't mess with the software (i.e. removing that option intentionally)

I meant that it is lacking phone pair connectivity. Such as ; if you get a text the phone cannot notify you, or if you have a call coming in the watch will not notify you... this software doesn't exist yet. I have tried numerous apps on play store but no luck as of yet.

It's a 2 mega pixel camera... the quality isn't too bad overall... video quality is actually Very Good... i sent a video from the watch to my galaxy note 2 and the resolution was very surprising..... it was good. not too much distortion - The only thing is that the frame rate is less so you will noticing a little skipping vs a high quality galaxy note or s4 camera would take.. this is expected though.

Does it vibrate when you get a call or a sms/email?

I can't tell you about the call as I have not put a sim card in it yet, but It does have vibration capabilities as it vibrates when you turn off the watch. The vibration is nice and strong.
