I ordered the i9505G directly from the Google Play store. Since day one I noticed that the frame rate during 1080p video recording is pretty choppy. It doesn't seem to be 30fps. So I returned it and got another one. The second i9505G also seems to have the same issue.
I am quite surprised and disappointed because on my GS3 I was able to record in 1080p quite smoothly... and yet on the GS4 it seems choppy. Anyone else have this experience?

A bit more info. I dug a bit more into the issue and it appears that the video recording frame rate is capped at about 16fps on the i9505G. That's visibly very choppy. Anyone else experience this problem?
I have a I337M (Canadian version) on which I installed a GPE ROM and I'm experiencing this same frame rate issue. A real bummer since I love the AOSP mojo. I use the S4's camera alot so this is a show stopper for me. I guess it's back to stock since there doesn't appear a fix or even an acknowledge of the issue by either Google or Samsung.
You guys do know that there is a modded aosp camera that can record smooth 30 fps/60 fps right? Downside is HDR doesn't work ^_^

Could you tell us the app name?
Thank you
I can't believe that i can't find a way to record 1080p 60fps video with this phone. I tried open camera but veifying it in vlc showed that it was still 1080p 30fps. It's pretty disappointed that my every phone i've had since g2 from 2 years ago could do it but i can't get my brand new phone to record in silky smooth 60fps. Is there a mod or an app out that can actually do this?
Has anyone else noticed this? While watching a 1440p video on youtube, after a minute or two, it will start dropping frames like crazy. Sometimes the video will stop entirely (audio still plays). I've noticed this on MKBHD and Linus Tech Tips channels. If I set the quality to 1080p (or anything lower) manually, it plays just fine. It's not a buffering issue, because the audio still plays. It seems like the phone is trying to reduce the cpu and youtube isn't capable of playing 1440p video with the reduced cpu. It never happens at the beginning of a video. I didn't have this problem on my V10, ever.
Can you give links to exact videos? I just tested on this on
https://youtu.be/hddwAIXbKZo
Looked amazing. Ran in 1440 with zero issues.
This was happening to me as well. SD820 variant. On WiFi. A restart seems to have fixed the problem...for now...hopefully.
Exynos will breeze through this. SD fail.

Okay I can see what you're talking about now. I just watch this video. Its default was like 720. I changed it to 1440 and it froze. Sound continues video stops. I minimize the video and closed it then reopened it it stayed 1440 and ran fine.

Not sure what's causing it but I can definitely see the problem. I don't want to have to close and reopen a video to get it to play properly.
These are two of the ones I remember it happening on:

That video may not be long enough... it happens after a minute or two on my phone, and that video is only 1:45 long.
This 1440p issue happens on my LG G4 as well. I'm getting my Exynos S7 Edge on Friday

Just watched both of those on 1440p, no glitches at all. YouTube 1440 vids have been smooth as butter since my restart.

Happens on my V10... there are multiple threads in the V10 forums about the issue.
Are you guy's by any chance using T-Mobile? I know with their Binge On feature, they try to reduce and limit overall quality of any video feed not set up with the Binge On program. YouTube is not set up with it.
I get extremely choppy and dropped frames on 1440p. Also no 60fps option at all something is definitely wrong. My s6 edge was able to play 1440p 60fps with no issues at all.

I'm on T-Mobile, but in my case, it is not related to BingeOn. I have BingeOn disabled, and this was on WiFi. As I said in the original post, it isn't a buffering issue because the audio keeps going. Also, as others have noticed, if you minimize it and come back, the video will go for a little bit and then stop again.

Tested this ^^ and worked fine for me..I don't have any 60fps option though but it seems it plays the 60fps on the highest setting any way, just don't mention it .
Anyone try uninstalling YouTube updates and going back to the version that shipped with the phone? Since it's happening with other phones it could just be an app bug introduced with the latest update.
All videos play perfectly on my Exynos gs7 edge at 1440p

Definitely a Youtube issue as it's happening on too many different devices. I noticed it on my wife s6 edge + but not yet on my s7 edge.
All 1440p fine on exynos
useless reply, but I followed the link for the "2K" video sample (couple minutes long) and that played without issue via the YouTube app.
After that there was a link for a 4K Video Beauty of Nature video (about 31 minutes long) and THAT locked up after a few minutes of playback. (addendum: I'm a sucker for good Nature, but holy crap is that a pretty video.)
AT&T GS7E, all current updates, playing over mobile data. SpeedTest.net reports > 50Mb/s downstream at my location so bandwidth is probably not a factor.
Firefox plays the video without issue it seems, 13 minutes in without issue. Of course I can't be sure it's playing a 1440p stream, but it looks the same to my old eyes. :^(
I've played all Youtube videos linked and have no issues. Tried many thers via the Youtube app a7 1080p and 1440p and found no issues on my Exynos S7E
I can't play video on HD on my axon 7 using the youtube app only max 480p. Anyone whit the same problem?
Edit: after some test i've discovered that using youtube app i can't watch video on 720p60 neither 1080p60 but only "standard" HD video. Is that normal?
Nope I don't have that issue
I noticed that too. It was there before. Now it's gone.

I found out the problem. The latest YouTube update screwed up the video quality options. HTC M10 users are having the same problem.
Not got that issue, got the sound sync issue though.
This is a YouTube issue. I looked up other devices that had this issue and it turns out that the Samsung Galaxy S7 had the problem just after launch. It took two months to fix it.
Looks like the video quality issue is a YouTube problem. I used Dailymotion and I can change between 720p60fps and 1080p60fps.
I have this issue. It's really annoying. The image freezes and the audio carries on. Only happens with hd content.
Is this still affecting anyone else?
I have had my ZTE Axon 7 for 10 days and experiencing the same problem. The visuals on YouTube videos are stuttering or freezing completely when playing 4K videos at 1440p at 30fps or 60fps. I have also experienced it on 1080p 60fps. This causes the audio to fall out of sync. I have compared it to my Samsung Note 4 and S7 Edge and have no problem playing same video. I have even factory reset phone to no avail. Emailed Gearbest (supplier) and ZTE (No help) and offered me an exchange or refund but have no stock. Really like the phone so don't want a refund on something for an problem I believe can be fixed as seems like a software issue. Great Value phone!

Getting this problem too, only happens when i watch 1440p videos. 1080p videos run fine without stutters
First of all, i already had the 60fps option ONCE, when i was in AICP 6.0, so i know that it works in our phone, but i went to test all the other roms, there were no 60fps anymore, just 480p max.
720p and 1080p are available, but when it's a 60fps video, not regular 30fps, they dissapear. Am I the only one having this issue? Im good watching 480p, but when i know that my phone can easily handle 1080p60, it really bothers me. Can someone test this, please?
