Im a huge video taker and was very excited when i was getting the wing. I new it had a 2mp camera. But was dissapointed that its resolution only goes up to 176x128 (or somethin like that.) does any one know what i can do to take videos in better resolution??
Im new to this site and just got the wing
I know there is a HTC camera for the tilt but when i tried to download it, it installed wrong. Is there a different one?
Maybe theres even an update. idk im not good with this stuff. HELP PlEaSe
I agree- the Wing's video recorder is very disappointing.
It's weird because I actually think that the camera is surprisingly good! People are impressed all the time with the photos I take with my wing. Best out of any camera phone that I've ever owned or used.
As far as the video- I'm not sure why it's so bad, but I'm guessing it's a limitation of the processor. I tried Ateksoft's Coolcamera, and that actually did let me record video that was higher resolution. The frame rate suffered some (got a little blurry), but the main problem was that the colors get all distorted. Reds turn blue and things like that. That seems like a software issue so I hold out some hope that with the software bugs zapped, and maybe the processor OC'ed (I keep mine at 286), that there may be an improvement in the future.....
Ya i downloaded that camera and it didnt work very well. So does any one no of annother
Even if u just leave me a list of cameras i can try i mean it cant hurt to try.
I read an article from engadget saying that someone managed to tweak the camera via the OS on the Nexus One to record 720p videos. Since they both have 5mp sensors, would it be possible to do the same? The only difference is the OS, so the way we would have to accomplish this would be much more difficult I assume. It would be awesome if it could be done.

the hd2 camera can record 720p videos the problem is in the windows os it hardly supports wvga mp4
Not going to happen. I'm guessing drivers will need to be written, and such in order to even get decent playback on the FPS. I wonder if there are any SD-card requirements for the N1 modification such that it needs to be Class 6 to ensure fast-write speeds.
doesnt look great even though its 720p though, probably due to bad light. I wonder if we can tweak the HD2 to at least record 720p to play back on another device such as a PC.
yeah i've been wondering the same
Same here, used the "Search" before starting a new Thread and found this one
just saw this, id be willing to donate to anyone able to get 720p on the hd2.
it would be nice, but i would honestly never use it. but for bragging purposes, i think it would be great.. haha
That would be awesome if someone could figure out how to make Windows shoot 720p, they would be my hero.
My roommate is about to get the 4th Gen iPhone, and I want to make sure that mine is in every way equal to or better than his, so I don't have to hear continuous Apple Elitism.

Honestly, why do people feel the need to compare phones? They're for different people with different tastes. If he feels the need to completely tell you how your purchase was horrible or that your phone is inferior to his, tell him to grow up and get a life or something.
And you my friend, shouldn't be bothered with trying to "prove" your phone to him. That's just downright silly.
What would we need to get this project started? We do need to know where the drivers are located at and their corresponding registry entries, as well as any registry strings that could be useful in accomplishing this.
Do you really need extra video resolution?!
At the end of the day, 720p doesn't really mean better quality, it means a larger video res. Its almost like the megapixel myth everyone believes...
Hmmm, we can still try.

impossible on wm6.5 sad to say that ,windows doesnot support this resolution
Oh well lol.
the current camera app doesn't, in as much as it sits on top of winmo and isn't setup to do so. If windows can handle larger resolution pics then why not video?. has anyone tried hacking the camcorder app and the windows registry to see if it can be bastardized to do so?.
Note, video is about frame resolution and speed, if you increase the frame resolution you increase the quality.(if the cpu can handle it) The camcorder app is effectively taking still photos at 640x480 and sticking them together nothing more, theoretically if we manage to increase the resolution before stitching it should work. However there is the matter of codecs / compression, not only would winmo need to be adjusted but the codec / compression algorithum too. I am sure it could be done but it might be a mammoth task.
Well the HD2 has no HDMI output & its screen is only 800x480 so the only point of 1280x??? playback is for bragging rights
Similar issue with the iphone4, like whats the point of HD if the screen is so small you wont see the detail. Is it a higher resolution but smaller in size to HD2
Ive tried play 720 on my HD2 with a few different codecs/players & the best I got was stuttery playback.
Well if anyone has tried play 720p on a desktop PC with anything less than 1.6ghz then it will stutter. Although is a PC a whole different ballgame?
I think what would be nice for the HD2 would be 800x480 video recording with a few different codecs/bit-rates to choose from

Huh, because people then take the video and play it back on their computer, or put it online, like with any camcorder?

Would be nice to have HD recording for playback on a pc
Doubt the quality would be brilliant, but its a phone heh heh
hehe, the whole point of tinkering IS just b/c u can do it.
y put android on the TP2, just b/c
hehe
why give the nexus one 720p
just b/c it can handle it
I have taken 3 videos of duration between 1 to 3 minutes. I kept the setting at 720p recording in my DHD stock Rom. The thing i realized after transfering them to my laptop is that all 3 videos have a very minute pause of recording in between. It occurs like 3-4 times in a video of 1.30 minute. Are you people facing this problem? I checked my memory card of 8GB is still 30% free and there are not more apps running in background.
Is there any solution to get smooth video recordings or is it a bug in DHD ?
Normally your SD card need formatting
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Not exactly sure what you mean...
But there is an issue with 1.32, where video randomly skips a few seconds, which was supposed to be fixed in 1.72 firmware.
I did see suggestions about reformating for SD card or using a task killer before you shoot. Check if you're still on 1.32.
I don't have much experience as I didn't do much recording before updating to 1.72. Your best bet is to install a custom ROM if you don't have a update avalible yet. Or wait for the gingerbread update, which should be coming in a few weeks, sound and video recording is improved alot in gingerbread.
If you are talking about software number,it is 1.83 .
I dont know where exactly i can find the firmware no.
I got this s/w no in settings>about phone>software information.
Is it the correct place to look for the firmware?
About formatting my memory card, is there any software to backup and restore the image of memory card?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yes, the video randomly skips a few seconds.... thats the true explanation. My brother took the same video with his experia ACE, and the video quality was better than DHD. There was much light and the video was brighter as well, compared with my DHD's video.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yes you're looking at the right place.
You don't need any backup software, just copy everything for the SD card to a folder on your PC, format it, and copy back, easy .
Note that HTC phones aren't exactly known for their cameras. And it's not a suprise that the video on the SE may be higher quality.
There is a great thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875230&highlight=camera+guide
that explains the DHD camera and fixes alot of the issues. It's worth a read.
The main point is to set sharpness to -2 (helps the quality), and adjust the exposure if video lags (low light).
If you were recording outside, maybe setting the exposure higher might help brightness (The problems is that setting too high will resoult in lag if there is not enough light availible.
Funny enough, I tried recording a video now and saw skipping (with 1.82). Exiting the Camera app and using a task killer to kill everything running in the background solved the issue. Search the android market for a "task killer" and download it, and use it before recording.
I hope that will solve your issue.

I just put in a Brand New,unused 1 GB memory card, and took a video. I realized that the Video was normal, and there was no skipping, so now i plan to FORMAT my 8GB memory card and then going to take a video and post the result here.
As you all know by now, today HTC and Sprint announced the release date for the HTC EVO 4G LTE.
I am excited as anyone about this phone. However, there is one area that I am VERY disapointed about: video recording quality.
In my opinion, HTC has so far been un-able to make a cell phone that can record good quality HD video. It's even more puzzling since apparently both HTC and Sprint were really promoting the camera on the phone at the press event today.
I have no issue with the quality of the still photos - my original EVO takes pretty good stills.
I saw a sample of video shot with the European version of One X, and it suffers from the same issue as my EVO - jerky video!
Shot in 1080p outdoors, at the highest quality setting, the video looks as if it were shot at around 20fps rather than 30fps. Pans and objects moving across the screen were jerky.
My EVO has always had this issue, which has prevented me from shooting much video with it. The camera is great, but I want to be able to carry a camcorder with me always. My mom's two year old Epic Galaxy S has been able to shoot smooth HD video from day one, and I've always envied it.
There is no video I can shoot with my EVO that I would want to burn to DVD or shoot important events with, like birthdays, holidays, etc.
Some bigwig from HTC was quoted comparing the One X's camera with that of the iPhone 4S. But I know the 4S shoots smooth HD video as well.
I'll probably at least go into Sprint and check it out myself, but I don't expect to have different results then that fromthe reviewer.
Have any of you (who can review video quality with a critical eye) noticed what I'm talking about?
I don't understand why HTC can't get video recording right!
Didn't notice the recording problem on my EVO, but could be the ROM I'm using. Also on the new One X, the videos I've seen look amazing. Don't know which one you saw, but I thought it looked great. Perhaps issues uploading or the video stabilization was turned on in the video you saw? It's not going to be like a 60 fps camcorder, but if that's what you are expecting out of a tiny phone camera, your expectations may be too high.
What other phone has better video? Looks the same as iphone 4S video and no one complains about that. A small sensor has limitations and it isn't going to get better when you post it to youtube and they compress it. No phone is going to make quality DVDs for your events. What's wrong with getting a camcorder with a sensor twice the size or a triple sensor if you have the funds? Seems they are getting video recording done just as well as any other phone to me. These are phones.
Well, maybe I'm a bit more critical than most. I work in video and perhaps my eye is more sensitive to the various aspects of video.
I'm not talking about sharpness, contrast, color saturation, etc.
As I mentioned, both the iPhone 4/4S and Samsung's Galaxy line of phones do not have this issue.
Try this: film 20 seconds of either relatively close fast moving objects like car traffic, or else pan in a circle at a somewhat faster than pleasing speed.
If you look closely, you will see very slight jumping in the video. It's not going to jump out at you (excuse the pun).
It's not a compression issue, that would result in a more blurry or pixelated image.
I realize we're talking cell phones. But both Apple and Samsung do not have this issue. I REALLY want to love the EVO LTE, I'm eligible for an upgrade in June!
Video recording on my evo was horrible as well ...like unusable horrible ..super choppy and laggy all the time. My brothers was exactly the same. My phone was rooted flashed multiple roms, video was always choppy... brothers phone never rooted...video was always choppy
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
No I gotcha, I'm critical as well. That's why I wouldn't use ANY phone for capturing video for an important event. A camcorder is the only thing that will do.
However the samples I've seen look every bit as good as the iphone 4s or samsung videos. Of course the One X does seem more geared towards photos and have to say it definitely beats the others there. Also if you pause the One X videos you can still clearly see everything and even grab a frame as a picture. The Samsung videos get blurry so I wouldn't try it with the Nexus. Can't say I notice any change in fluidity from iphone 4S videos to One X videos, but again I don't know which video you are talking about. If there is any difference it is slight. All phones have this issue as they are just not going to match the smoothness of a quality camcorder and definitely not professional camcorders. Even then I notice the difference with motion interpolation on high refresh 120 hz and 240 hz TV's so I know what you are saying.
Perhaps best to withhold judgment about video on phone that isn't out yet. Once it's on youtube it just isn't going to look as good.
EDIT: I did find a One X video that looked horrible, it was a close up and the exposure was constantly changing, but did notice jumpiness when panning. Can't tell if it was due to being uploaded on youtube, but if it did happen on the phone it looks like it is having trouble with quickly writing to memory. It doesn't do it constantly so that may be the issue. When you have trouble with your EVO 4G are you directly shooting video to the SD Card? That may be your problem. The lag causes a frame to be skipped here or there. A larger buffer would correct this issue (well until it fills) or higher memory bandwidth. This also happens when uploading videos or converting the file format. Perhaps a result of poor conversion from RAW to 3gp. Still I wouldn't worry about it as there is a way to go until June and the hardware version may change. If there is an issue I'm sure they are aware of it.

Well, yes. the EVO has so little internal storage, and video file sizes are large compared to other file types.
But then, my mom's Samsung also wrote directly to the SD card, and it's still very smooth.
I will try to find that example I was speaking about and post a link. It was shot outdoors in daylight, near a flower stand if I remember correctly.
And for sure I will definitely check it out myself before writing the phone off.
As far as the phone not having the same quality as a "real" camcorder, sure. but you know the old saying, "The best camera is the one you have with you". My phone is ALWAYS with me. And I do think the quality is getting to the point where I can shoot casual everyday stuff that I may want to archive for the future, even edit.
Here is a link to the sample I was referring to.
This is from the HTC One X, which I believe has the same camera as todays announced EVO LTE. Pay particular attention to the panning at about the 1:10 mark.
And this phone has no SD card, so it was recorded to the internal memory.
Also, while you may wish to blame YouTube, this is how video recorded on my two year old EVO looks.
http://youtu.be/xOv4tjB7HMQ
Better than the one I found, but SD Card or not that is still the issue. I know that the version of the One X used for this does not have an SD Card. The Sprint one will. Either way, uploading it to youtube can cause this problem as well. And if you record to your SD Card on your 2 year old EVO and use a slow card you will see this as well. That may be your issue though it isn't for the One X. If it's internal then another phone might be your best option.
These are frames that get skipped either due to trouble encoding, small buffer, or memory speed problems. The iphones never seem to have this issue like Androids do (probably due to all the stuff running in the background and iOS's control over apps). Can tell when it happens in the video and it starts skipping. It's the same as when you are video conferencing and frames get dropped due to bandwidth. This isn't normal and guessing they would be on that. As far as the rest, still looks as jagged as any other phone with motion. If you use post processing it can help.
Here's on I saw that looked about as decent as other phone videos
One X 1080p sample
with cars going by like you mentioned. Have to say it looks clear when you pause on passing cars. Fast pans aren't going to impress on any phone (or many camcorders in my experience) and I don't know what else to say about it. Hopefully they fix what is bothering you and if not I guess you gotta go with another phone.
OK, you got me motivated to check out several youtube videos. I will give you the YouTube effect. Even though I have seen Galaxy and iPhone 4S clips Played back on the phones without the jumping, the YouTube samples did exhibit the issue.
While I wait for the EVO LTE to arrive at Sprint, I will change the video recording folder on my EVO and see if that makes any difference. I will also test the new EVO and cross my fingers. Everything else looks great and I'm hoping the video recording will pass my stringent tests!!!
So I checked, and I can not find any setting on my EVO to have the camera record video files directly to internal storage. In fact, there is no setting at all as far as location of recorded video and photos. Apparently the EVO is designed to record directly to the SD card and there is no other option.
However, in thinking about this studdering or "jumping" issue, it doesn't make sense that it would be related to the SD card anyway.
The phone would buffer recorded video before it writes it to the card. If the buffer ran out, perhaps video would jump or skip, but it would be at random times. The issue I'm talking about happens consistently during the video, like I said, it looks like video shot at about 20 fps.
Besides, I've used the same SD card in my mom's Samsung Galaxy, and video is very smooth.
So it's not the SD cards fault.
OP I'm with you. Camcorder on my Evo or better yet HTC phone if pure crap. Low light shooting is the worst I've seen on a phone. My Xoom, wife's ipad and daughter's Epic all take great low light and non jerky videos. People need to compare on hand with different devices before saying the Evo is okay, because it's not. That's my only peeve with htc phone and my next phone I'm going to make sure the video department is almost as good as the iphone 4s if not better, because iphone 4s take stunning video especailly low light.
I have been scouring the web looking for a fix for my Evo 4G video quality.
If anyone finds a fix please post it here.
Phone is rooted with CM7.1.0
here are the list of things that i found that bothered me , and i think will bother others as well,
1) They advertised the camera way too much with saying 2x zoom and all but the truth is you won't find that much difference in both the lenses , the second lens only works in very good lighting conditions so when there is low light(not that low ) the main camera zooms in (by cropping) , there is no way to force the camera to use the second lens.
2) the os is neat and good but it does not come with any equalizer such as audiofx which came with the previous versions nor there is any music player (except for that sh** google play music)
3) no cache is made for fast access for what i have experienced so far , having so much ram as well as processing when i try to open my music folder with 800+ files it takes a lot of time and if i go into another folder inside the music folder and press back it gets stuck there.( i have used miui and they had really great file manager which used to make cache of those files for fast access , i had the same amount of files and was on opo)
4) ram management is pathetic for what i have experienced as after the whole day i end up having 33% ram free when no apps are running in background.
5) the high end game that i have played for now is injustice 2 and it has crashed multiple times , don't know if it's op5 or the game .
6) there are no live filters in the camera app.
7)no stability in 4k as well as 1080p 60 fps ( i know they are saying that the update will fix it )
8) images have a lot of noise but pro mode fix that and hdr too fixes it but makes the image a little soft,and the pro mode and portrait mode can't be used simultaneously.
so reply the things that bothered you as well.
p.s. is it just me or everyone is not having the double tap the power button to open camera option
LoL well you don't understand ram. The os always wants to use ram. That's called ram management. Just because you close all the apps you were running doesn't mean the os is going to give it all back and that's normal.
And you are incorrect about the stability in the 1080p become recording. There is EIS in 1080p, they are going to add EIS for 4k.
Ok so what I gather is this:
1) Camera is disappointing
2) You don't know how to use Viper4Android or download a music player. Who uses the crap stock music player on ANY phone?
3) Download a real file manager
4) My average RAM use is 57%. Hardly seems bad.
5) You don't know why your game is crashing but you feel like it's the phone's fault. Ok.
6) Camera is disappointing
7) See above
8) See above
ps: Double clicking the power button opens the camera just fine.
What you really identified is the fact that the camera is pretty average, albeit probably fine for most people. I find it ok, but it doesn't blow me away.

Exactly what I was going to say. The concepts of RAM management and cache the OP talks about are absurd. Ofcourse loading 800+ files is going to take time.
And Google play music is a damn fine player. I have a supscription and am entirely satisfied with it.
There is an OOTB equalizer. I prefer using AudioFX, which I could find on the OnePlus forum and it works on OOS 4.5.
Image quality is debatable, but is better than anything I've owned. Yes, it was hyped a little too much, but for a it's a good camera for a layman. The low light performance is bad though.
Also, 1080p video recording is just fine. EIS does well in the stabilization department. Expecting an EIS update for 4K video recording too.
To add, battery life is suggestive. I use the **** out of my phone and can get >48 hours of it with >9hours SOT. This phone has many positives, of which I don't see listed.

Honestly, I don't own or plan to buy a 4k TV. Don't own anything with a 4k display. So 4k recording isn't a big deal for me. 1080p is more then fine. Plus file size of 4k files have to be insane. I'll probably check it out once they add the EIS to 4k but I'm good either way.
Was really necessary to start another thread? There are already tons of threads like yours.

The only things you need to know before you buy are :
1- you could be a victim of the jello screen effect , just like u could not be ...
2- the camera isn't as great as they advertise it , specially in low ligh
**there is no EIS for 1080p 60 fps , it is only available for 1080p 30fps "FOR NOW" , waiting for updates**
also : there's a new camera problem showing up , talking about a kind of pink tint on some cameras , but the thread is deleted !
apart from that , you are buying a great phone :good:

LoL well you don't understand ram. The os always wants to use ram. That's called ram management. Just because you close all the apps you were running doesn't mean the os is going to give it all back and that's normal.
And you are incorrect about the stability in the 1080p become recording. There is EIS in 1080p, they are going to add EIS for 4k.

ya i don't understand ram management but i know from my past experiences that 50 to 75 % ram remains free all the time when i close all the application,
did you hear me say that 100 ram is not free , no you don't , i know os uses ram but the background apps are using way too much ram.
as for the stability either you have very steady hands or your eyesight is weak coz i don't see a great amount of stability here .

Ok so what I gather is this:
1) Camera is disappointing
2) You don't know how to use Viper4Android or download a music player. Who uses the crap stock music player on ANY phone?
3) Download a real file manager
4) My average RAM use is 57%. Hardly seems bad.
5) You don't know why your game is crashing but you feel like it's the phone's fault. Ok.
6) Camera is disappointing
7) See above
8) See above
ps: Double clicking the power button opens the camera just fine.
What you really identified is the fact that the camera is pretty average, albeit probably fine for most people. I find it ok, but it doesn't blow me away.

2) not everybody roots their phone as soon as the get it like you.
3) why should i when i am paying money they should have given me a decent one
3) it is bad.
5)not bashing the phone just alerting people , can't you read i didn't said it was phone's fault.
for others yes camera disappointed me as it was one of the primary reason to buy this phone.

Exactly what I was going to say. The concepts of RAM management and cache the OP talks about are absurd. Ofcourse loading 800+ files is going to take time.
And Google play music is a damn fine player. I have a supscription and am entirely satisfied with it.
There is an OOTB equalizer. I prefer using AudioFX, which I could find on the OnePlus forum and it works on OOS 4.5.
Image quality is debatable, but is better than anything I've owned. Yes, it was hyped a little too much, but for a it's a good camera for a layman. The low light performance is bad though.
Also, 1080p video recording is just fine. EIS does well in the stabilization department. Expecting an EIS update for 4K video recording too.

use miui to find out how a proper file manager should work,
who in the world uses google play music and takes it's subscription as well , i havn't seen a single person using that s**t.
link for the audiofx that you are talking about because the one 3t had didn't work for me.
comparing to my very old opo i don't see i great camera improvement, quality wise

Honestly, I don't own or plan to buy a 4k TV. Don't own anything with a 4k display. So 4k recording isn't a big deal for me. 1080p is more then fine. Plus file size of 4k files have to be insane. I'll probably check it out once they add the EIS to 4k but I'm good either way.

I've not rooted my OP5, yet I'm running AudioFX. Yes it works. Go look for it. I started a thread for an Equalizer.
You do not want to download another file manager because you paid money?! Do you want them to make you coffee in the morning as well?
I use GPM, it's allows me to use my local music and stream music all in the same place. Don't like it? Deal with it.
The camera is decent, not the spectacle they teased it to be, but nothing to whine about.
And yes, EIS works for 1080p, I do not have stable hands, my hands in fact tremor.
Here's proof that EIS works at 1080p.

please just buy an iPhone and be done with it, so tired of these bash posts. if you don't like it then sell it.
I assume your allready going to do that since there are just Cons in your first post without any Pros

you said you were using viper first now you are saying audiofx , 2) stock is what should be decent one right (why do they give any apps right , they should provide play store and user just have to download the apps he likes) well the first few things you see when you go to the op5 page is how good oxygenos is , if i paid money for some s**t i should get my coffee in my bed when i wake up first thing in the morning.
i neeever said that EiS doesn't work with 1080p 30 fps your video clip doesn't prove anything , go to google and see for your self , in the next update they'll be releasing EIS for 60 fps 1080p.
now what did i write above 60 fps ,
say it with me 60 fps 1080p

did you see anything in the post that even remotely directed you towards thinking that i want an iphone , yes i am bashing because i paid money for that ****, check out the live event and see how there is not a single grain when they zoom in the camera that is not the case in real life , false advertisement is what they are doing . It is written in the title things you should know before you buy and i think it is clear that i am considering the bad stuff right ?

Never mentioned viper, genius.
Brother, no one pays for a file manager. They haven't charged you for a file manager. They've provided you a file manager, one which if you're unhappy with, you can go ahead and download another. If you're too high and mighty to do that, there's nothing any OEM can do to satisfy you.
If you can't wait for an update can't really help you with that either.
Some people just need an excuse to crib.

if your not happy, sell it? Next time create a proper Pro/Con for example RAM management is bad? guess you don't really know how RAM managment works then .. the only valid complaint i see in your OP is the camera, the rest is just complete BS.
Might wanna change the title to: OP5 complaints (false advertising)

I use GPM too. Not for anything other than streaming my own stuff though. The desktop manager/ mobile sync and downloadable to local ability make it pretty unique. I've even looked for better alternatives and there is nothing better. I do only use up to version 6.16 though, before they totally messed up the home screen. I really miss the xposed module that let you customize GPM though. I hope someone makes a mod for it eventually. Every time I flash an OTA update it overwrites though, very annoying.
I do agree with you on the camera. My Moto x Pure was better than this thing, even though it got a lower DXOmark score. To me though, it was very solid.

Wait, are you saying that lower RAM usage is better? I mean WHAT? Isn't the whole point of RAM to keep recent stuff in there as much as possible? For faster usage?
That free RAM ain't doing **** for you bruh.
Also there seems to be equalizer on my OP5, just saying, it is there. You seem a bit clueless about technical stuff.
