camera auto turn off while recording? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I plan to use the camera to record a few long session and I noticed it will turn off after a period of time. Is there anyway to keep recording continuously? Both the front and back camera behave like this which makes me think it's some kind of battery saving feature to prevent accidentally idling. Anyone else experience this?

You say long sessions, but how long? If your SD card is formatted as fat32, the max file size is 4 GB, I suppose the recording can stop when you reach that size.

Check settings and make sure it is not set to Limit size for MMS

Yes, this is exactly when it stops 4GB or ~34 min of roughly 1080p recording. Is there a way to bypass this? I have a 64g micro and was planning to use this to record 2+hrs of video of my dj session.

You can try one of these things :
- record the video on the internal phone memory (the file system is sdcardfs but I think it's backed by ext4)
- format your SD card as exfat then record on it. I think the stock kernel supports that.

I have also had this issue.. what i have observed is that the problem only began occurring when I inserted my 32gb micro sd card and had the camera app set to store on the said sd card instead of the internal memory. The problem would be that sometimes, upon opening the camera app, you would see a black screen for a few seconds and then the phone would reboot. I have also noted that the camera app takes a little while to start when it does work.
I have subsequently set the camera app to store on the internal memory and i have not had the problem since and the camera app opens noticeably faster. I believe this is a software issue. This is purely speculation on my part but i think it has to do with the speed of the memory card. If it is not of the highest class, it takes too long for the camera app to read and the app hangs and the phone reboots. It also think this is the reason why the camera takes so long to start when it does work.
Hope this helps
I have the same problem, with the camera app, I use an 32 GB Class 10 by SanDisk. Takes time to open Camera app.
I think it is a problem with the SD card, and have asked for replacement.
Also at times when using the camera, with the flash set to Auto, I get an message saying 'Device temperature too high, cannot use flash'. - This may be related or a completely separate issue..
I have also noticed the random restart, with other apps too. Is everyone getting this with only with the camera app?? Or are other apps also causing the problem.
I also have this problem tried latest mdk firmware and still hapens

After changing the location of the files the problem persists. I even removed the Class 10 32gb sd card and it still reboots then accesing the camera.
Hope is a sofrware bug they can fix soon. Cant believe I traded a Htc One for this alpha phone.
Thanks guys

Gallery and sd card issues

Hi guys and girls
I hope someone can help, I have just got a galaxy s4 and just purchased a 64gb sd card, ive converted the sd card to fat32 but whenever I put photos on the sd card they wont show, it just shows a white icon like a broken face and if I put music on the card it plays a 3 second snippet then moves to next song.
If I place the photos and music on the internal memory it works fine
Ive persisted for 3 days and ive given up, please help me
Many thanks in advance

Reformat your sd card through com0uter place it in the device, reformat it using the device. I believe this should do the tr8ck

Thanks for the replies, ive tried that and still no use it seems to be saving photos ive taken but anything I download to sd through apps doesnt work, ive tried putting a music album on through kies and that didn't work either, I just cant understand what is going on, never had this issue with the s1 or note so is it possibly an s4 issue?

I have a plane to upgrade my SD card from 16GB to 64GB. After few minutes working with Google I found out that so many peoples complain about problem of their s4 with SD card. S4 made SD card go to some places like hell. SanDisk is the most card name has a trouble.
Try downloading Media Scan from the playstore i think the images will appear on your gallery eventually.

As you increase the size of the sd card ...there are more memory issues popping up....I suggest you take the sd card and fix it to a different phone and see if the pics are readable....if they are not....its a problem with the sd card...so better check it out....if the pics are readable...try a different card on your s4...I myself use a 32gb Kingston sd card with life time warranty. ..just in case something like this would happen...so first isolate where the problem is...then it'll be easy to find a fix...good luck...hope this helps
Thanks for the advice, I will try a 32gb card that I have for a few days and try the 64gb in my archos tablet and see what results I get. Ill post my results asap, thanks again

Thank you for sharing! This is great news. Now I am just waiting for the update to arrive.

ExFAT, if im not mistaken is a memory card format that allows faster read write speeds and overall data quality improvement. Most higher capacity cards use it out of the box and consumers generally like the format better, not that you will see the difference.

It means easy acces from Windows machines (that do not read EXT), better free space allocation, but the most important features are that larger drive sizes are possible and there's no noticable file size restriction (FAT is limited to about 4GB max size per file, meaning you cannot copy a 6 or 8 GB movie to a FAT formatted drive).
One of the reasons I chose this tablet. Eagerly awaiting the update for the WIFI only version (SGP312)
I dont have the update, and I am using exfat

WiFi only models always had exFAT support. It was the LTE models that were missing exFAT support.
So does it support 64gb micro sd? I need to get one, however official sony pages write that SGP321 supports up to 32gb only.

I have the WI-FI only model and use a class 10, 64gb card with no problems.

That's the deal. As on wifi models sony states that max card is 64gb, while LTE version has 32gb. And I could not figure out what could be the reason for that. And as I don't have 64gb card around to try or on, it's kind of risky to get that without being 100% sure that it will work properly.

[Q] Note 3 force closing large games?!?!?!?!

Hi all,
For some reason my N900A Note 3 has been force closing large apps like Asphalt 8 and Real Racing 3. When this occurs, I don't even get into the game; it just rotates the orientation of the phone and quickly force closes and gives me an error message. My phone is running KNOXRAID 4.4.2. Could this be because I don't have an micro SD card? (I have more than enough internal storage though...)
Thanks in advance.

Sd card could be tye reason because large games download data files when you start them first time and I think its done in sd card.
