Running Pure Nexus Project as my first custom rom from factory firmware. Wiped everything except internal storage as instructed. Camera has no issue taking pictures but this is the first time I've used the video cam. After about 10 minutes of taking videos, I could feel the phone heating up the top portion and it has a thin spigen case and I could still feel the heat through the case. After that screen just shuts off and recording stopped. This happens twice in succession as I thought I just press stopped accidentally the first time around. Does anybody have similar experience when taking videos? Could it be an issue with the custom rom or this is an issue with the phone's processor just like the first revision? Any suggestion/input from members who had the same experience is very much appreciated.
I was recording a video in 4K that was about 8 minutes long and the phone stopped recording but it never shut off. It just stopped at like 8:02 with a resulting video of about 2.4GB. I thought at first it might have run out of space (this was near the end of my vacation), but I had space. I don't recall the phone heating up at all. I was able to keep taking photos after that but didn't try more video.
That was the only time it ever stopped on me by itself, though.

My wife has a UK stock unbranded S, updated to GB via Kies. Things have generally been ok for the couple of months she's had the phone, but I think there's a pattern forming of wibbles after she's record a video.
On Froyo, shortly after recording a video the phone rebooted leaving both internal and external SD cards corrupted with stuff in lost.dir. Videos and most photos gone.
On GB, shortly after recorded videos the phone stuck with black screen (wouldn't wake up). Had to pull battery to reboot. Videos gone (but nothing in lost.dir this time).
I initially though it might be down to the external SD card, but the last occurence was using the internal for storage.
There were probobaly other similar glitches she didn't bother to 'report'. All seem to be shortly after/during taking videos. Photos seem to be ok though.
Does this sound like a hardware fault? I can't see anything similar in the forums so I'm assuming so?

Hi,
I tried to take a long HD video in a birthday party, and it got reboot and lost the video. I also reproduce the issue, and found out it happens every time. Samsung focus could only take few mins of HD video?
Is this a bug or just my phone's issue?
Appreciate your input!
I just updated to Mango for a couple of weeks.
What happens if not in a birthday party?
, Just kidding.
This is not a bug as it has never happened to me.
Try to see if you have free space available before shooting as HD recording takes a lot of space for every 10 minutes could take up to 500 MB.
space is not issue. I even tried factory reset/ format, and enlarge the reserved space in Zune. Nothing helped so far. I suspect it is because the phone is too hot after HD video taking. Not sure thou
Hi there.
My problem is this. When you restart my phone works with about 1400mb free RAM. A few days ago I had to do in a short time many photos 20-25 in HDR mode. After 20 picture the camera kick me out, and when I looked at how much RAM I have, I found that I had free only 150mb. I noticed that when taking pictures of RAM consumption increases progressively with each shot, not once. Another thing I noticed that this consumption occurs only when taking pictures in HDR mode. When off HDR shooting mode there is no problem. Separately in the Running Apps nowhere figuring out what is currently using as much memory. When I reboot the phone everything falls into place, but every 20 photos i restart it, and I do not think that is normal. I would like to use HDR. My friends with* Nexus 4 have the same problem, which means that the problem is not in my phone. Can any of you to try and convince you.Before the update I had no problem with the camera and I hope you do not have to go back to the old camera. My question is there a way to fix the problem. Thanks and sorry for my English.
Unfortunately, Your friend and you arent the only one. I have the same problem with pictures in HDR and I am also on a nexus 4... :/
Same problem here. Also in photoshere, after 8-10 photos photosphere kicks me out. havnt still found fix to this issue..
After I took 20+ photos in HDR, free RAM was only 261 MB, and N4 was totaly slow. There sure are problems with google camera.
this is an ongoing issue since sometime now with no fix in sight.
My N4 restarts automatically after taking few shots. the same happens at times in other applications as well. so I don't think it's Camera application itself, but camera drivers or something which is creating the problem.
Yes the infamous camera reboot was supposedly solved in 4.4.3 but it appears that many are still having the issue. It is camera driver related and affects all applications that utilize any of the devices cameras.

Hi everyone.
I'm new here and the reason I have actually joined this community is because I am experiencing some really frustrating stuff with my new SGS6E+ 64 GB.
First of all, it lags even if I have no apps running or any useless temporary data. I don't understand why, but there are days when the screen won't wake up if I press the lock button without rebooting!! It also freezes when I'm scrolling pages on the web or so...Apart from that, I almost never get a smooth experience while using this phone.
Second of all, I don't know if this is something that the camera should or should not do, but sometimes when I take selfies, the image gets distorted before I click the shot button, moving closer and farther from the screen.
I've tried wiping the cache partition, reseting it (three times now...), I even sent it in a Samsung authorised service where they said it's a software issue so they "changed" it and absolutely nothing. Not a single change in the way it is behaving. Now, having reseted it three times, it only has like four basic apps downloaded from play store, no pictures, no music, no reason at all to lag...and it still does. Very often. Please help me! I don't wanna root it, 'cause I got warranty for 2 years and I hope the phone company will eventually replace it, but I bet they will always say "There's nothing wrong with this phone", just like they did with my Note4, even though its motherboard was defectuous, which I found out later, much later, when the warranty got expired.
Hey I just got my Z4. Upgraded from a Z2 Play. I bought direct from Motorola off their website. I'm having really strange 2D performance issues, and was wondering if anyone else is having similar issues because they seem outright stupid for a phone as beefy as this one is to be doing this.
OK, so, this is going to sound super vague because I did try to nail it down with a ctrace, but wasn't able to come up with anything conclusive.
Sometimes, when drawing 2D only, my phone will drop to 30fps or lower. This happens in both in the launcher/normal apps and games (Fire Emblem Heroes)
However, when the phone is drawing in 3D (Dragalia Lost) the phone never drops below 60fps, ever, for any reason.
I have tried the developer option to force 2D Drawing on the GPU. This does not change the behavior at all.
This happens regardless of what MotoMod I have attached (None, Car Dock, Projector, 360 Camera)
This seems really weird to me. The phone isn't getting hot. It happens both plugged in and unplugged. Fresh reboots and not. What's interesting about this is it's exactly the opposite of my Z2 Play, which Dragalia F***ing hated (It would run fine for anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, and then it would crash) but FEH would run fine on, and never ever have issues, ever, even if the phone hadn't been rebooted in like, 3 months. And the Z2 Play is just generally a weaker, crappier device in every way (Except Ram, I had the 64gb/4gb model of the Z2 Play) than the Z4, I kind of "expect" the Z4 to just do everything the Z2 did but better.
I'm not a particularly heavy user (I upgraded from my Z2 Play because the battery was expanding, not because it was insufficient) and both of the games mentioned are the only things I do on my phone that could be considered to "Push" the phone in any way (Push in quotes because Dragalia and FEH are both REALLY light games.)
Has anyone else noticed any strangeness like this?
I have the same issue, and yes, it's really hard to describe and difficult to determine what causes it.
What it actually looks like to me is that the digitizer randomly goes into a powersaving mode and samples input at a lower frequency. When scrolling through any app, if you hold your finger down, it'll make it look like it's running at 30fps or less. But if you fling a page that can scroll, for the most part the scrolling animation will be full 60fps.
I know for certain that if you reboot the phone, you're more likely to trigger it soon after boot. But, if you suffer through the agonizing experience, the phone will eventually fix itself for the next week or so before it happens again.
Here's the weird part, not everyone is affected by the weird performance. My theory is most people can't detect it or don't care, or there's a particular app that is prompting the digitizer to behave badly. No idea what it is though.

It's definitely not the digitizer though! I have some data! Fire Emblem Heroes has an autobattle mode, This is as likely to happen during an autobattle when I am providing no input (Phone sitting on desk/just watching while holding) as it is when I'm scrolling through my list of apps.
Same problem here, pretty sluggish experience compared to my girlfriend's G7 Plus.
I've noticed that since the latest update, this issue has gone away for me. Anyone else confirm?
I don't think it was the update, but certain apps seem to exaggerate performance issues. I fixed mine by marking Pokemon Go (the only 3d game I play), as "Restricted" under battery usage settings.
I've been testing this configuration for about 2 days now and it looks like that solved it.
Just to set the record straight, the Android 10 update fixed the random performance problems that have plagued the device so far. There is some hitching right after a reboot, but if you let the phone settle, it's fine until the next reboot.
