Nexus 4 video recording problems - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My nexus 4 has started to develop some issues. The most annoying one is the frequent failure of the camera to record video. I press red record button which registers the touch but no recording starts. It will work for a while after a reboot but always happens again.
When i try to use an alternative camera app to record video i get a message saying "oops video recording is not currently working on your device" so its not just the camera app playing up.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it. Running stock and unrooted.
Edit: so playing about with this a bit more and ive discovered it only happens after i try to watch a video from the gallery. So i boot up my phone, record a video and its works ok. I can record videos fine. However if i go into the gallery and try to watch one of the videos playback fails. If i then go back to the camera and try and record a new video i get the issue as described above. BUT if i do the same thing but view the video outside of gallery (i used mx player) the video plays fine and the camera recording continues to work.
So it seems its an issue with gallery playback of the video. I have forced stopped the gallery, cleared data and cache but that didn't help.

Camcorder problems

Has anybody had a problem with their videos recorded on their camcorders not playing back? It records the video but when I stop it, it stops responding and then I press the home button to exit it and try to play the video and it doesn't open.
I tried sending the video to my brothers n900 through bluetooth and it works but it stutters towards the end.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? The camcorder was working fine when I got the phone.
I tried to do a hard reset which seemed to fix it until I installed the hotfix from HTCs website. It is again not working. When I'm recording I notice that the picture stutters randomly and when I stop the camcorder settings stop responding and videos cannot be played back.
Can someone please let me know if there is a fix for this?
I just found out the cause to my problem. I'm on T-Mobile and as you may know that they don't have the youtube app pre-installed on the device. I manually installed the app myself and it turns out that this was causing my camcorder to not work properly.
This was probably the reason why T-Mobile took the youtube app off the phone. Has anybody else had this problem? It annoying now that I cannot use youtube.
Hello
I have the exact same problem, it seems that the youtube client is the culprit indeed.
Here is a somewhat of a solution, when you want to playback your videos use coreplayer.
That is really useless.... rather than fix the problem T-Mobile just strip out YouTube... one of the key apps...
I also have had problems with video but had not realised that the Youtube client was the cause. Recording seems fine but as has been mention playback is necessary using for example Coreplayer... not ideal but at least it is an option.

Audio keeps playing but the video stops and the image is frozen in recorded videos

Didnt notice that every video I record after my last update , can only record audio and video the first minute or less and then for some reason playback stops but you can still listen to audio. This has happened to all my recorded videos.
Read somewhere on the internet that you have to delete DATA and clear CACHE on the Camera app, same results. ANyone else has run in the same problem??Any fix?

YouTube app freezing when trying to play 60fps video?

So, the YouTube app finally supports 60fps video, and it defaults to it whenever I'm on Wi-Fi, however, whenever it tries to display any video at 60fps, it just freezes on the first frame it buffers and all I get is the audio playing over that frozen frame. I have to switch it to 480p/30 to start properly watching the video again.
Is anyone else having this issue? Is this can be fixed, how do I go about doing that?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 rooted.
Thanks!

Blank camera video playback in every app.

No matter what app I use, I cannot get videos to play properly that I've recorded with the Camera. I can hear audio, but video remains black/blank. I've tried Photos (the stock choice), VLC, Focus, and MiXplorer. None of them can do it. Focus at least shows the first frame of the video but nothing else except audio.
Has anyone else run into this?

Video recording freezes in app, audio keeps going (Harry's Laptimer)

Hello,
I have recently switched from a GoPro to this app to gather more data on track but im experiencing some problems with recording. After emailing with the app developer we came to the conclusion that this seems to be a problem with the device and not the app itself.
Whenever i start recording the camera always seems to freeze at or around the 4min11 mark.
After watching the recording i noticed that the audio does keep going.
I have tried;
- changing the resolution (4K, 1080, 720 and SD)
- close all apps running in background
- exporting the videos to pc to play them with VLC (could have been a playback issue but nope)
Using the camera outside the app oddly enough does not give any problems.
Any chance there is way to solve this issue?
Phone is rooted, running stock oxygen software and had a factory reset 2 weeks ago.
Thanks
