[REQUEST]Vibe Z2 Pro (K920) - 1080p/60fps

K920 has same camera sensor as Galaxy S5, but i can't record video in 1080p/60fps. In stock camera isn't setting frame rate. Do you know, how?
And slow motion (720p/120fps) is very sh*t.
Some update? Or mod? I try video record applications, but nothing run.
I have stock 4.4.2 with VibeUi (and clear android)
Thx

I just bought it. Will check and get back.

U11 video recording nitpicking

I've been using the Galaxy S8 Plus until I received my solar red U11 yesterday (glad I waited, it's very nice looking). Anyway, I am very impressed with the photo image quality of the phone (it is very comparable to the S8), but I have a few nitpicks about the video recording:
1) No 1080p/60 mode. I really don't understand why it doesn't have a 60fps mode when even phones from 2016 had it? It has 1080p/30 and 1080p/120 (for slow motion), so why no 1080/60? Is it overheating concern?
2) No way to turn of EIS in 1080p video recording mode? While 1080p is very stable due to its combined OIS and EIS, it also crops the view significantly when recording video in this mode (compare it to 4k, which is quite a bit wider but has no EIS). Anyway, the EIS is nice if you want that, but I think there needs to be a toggle or option to turn off EIS and have the wide recording mode in 1080p that is like the 4k mode. As it stands, there does not appear to be a way to change this.
3) 6 minute recording limit in 4k. I guess it's also due to overheating concerns, but why not just make it unlimited and have the phone's temperature monitoring stop recording automatically if it gets to a certain temp? Some people are reporting overheating stoppages even before the 6 minutes, but in cooler environments, we may be able to record indefinitely in 4k.
Things I DO like about the U11's camera though...
1) Photo app and quality are excellent. Nice Pro mode too.
2) Glad I can lock exposure and focus during video recording very easily.
3) Focusing pulling with the touch screen is very nice on the U11 (it doesn't rock back and forth when focusing like many other phone cameras).
4) Audio recording options are very nice (3d audio vs hi-res, and acoustic focus)

Thanks! It's good to see that they are working on adding 1080p/60, though it appears to be a ways off.
Another thing that bothers me (when compared to the S8 or iPhone 7) is that I can't seem to take a photo while recording in 4k. I'm not sure if that's a software or hardware limitation, but I used that all the time on those phones. I really like using the squeeze to open the camera, take a photo, and switch between front and rear cameras though!

Try Open Camera on XDA, it works shooting 1080P without EIS and no time length limitation on 4K.

I've also see the same issue on the HTC 10 in regards to the 4k and taking a photo while recording if you can call it an issue. I suppose no one had complained about it and they left it unchanged

It's a nice camera app, thanks. Tried various settings in the app for video recording. Looks like no matter what framerate you choose, it can't go above 30fps. I thought maybe it would let me shoot 1080p/60, but nope (even when setting it to 60fps, it still records at 30). Also doesn't seem to be a way to take a photo while shooting video in this app? Nice that you can shoot longer than 6 minutes in 4k though (I didn't try it yet, but I assume it works).

I call it an "issue" only because I have come to expect it when shooting video now. In fact, I used it quite frequently on my iPhone and Galaxy S8. Being able to take a photo without interrupting the video recording is a pretty important feature, in my opinion. I suppose one could load up the video in software and capture a frame manually, but it's a feature that other flagships have, so I miss it.

60fps will come with one of the next OTA updates.

Indeed, my old year 2012 HTC One S supported shooting FHD video and taking a real photo at the same time and I owned a Galaxy S6 support that feature too. However, I think during 4K recording that no phone could take a real photo, all they do is just capture a frame from video clip and pretend that is a photo.

Right, I understand it's not an actual "photo" at the highest resolution, but I would still like the convenience of capturing a frame during 4k video recording like I can on all of the other flagships phones.

Wow I'm glad I found this post, I thought I was going crazy with the issues you mentioned, especially the cropped 1080p video! I hope they can fix that with the 60fps update, because it is really annoying.

Hi, 60fps still not possible?

1080p60 is being introduced in stock ROMs with versions 1.26 and higher.

Do you know if EIS for 4k video is planned? Thinking about buying the U11 instead of the much too expensive Pixel 2, but the lack of EIS in this case is a bit of a bummer.

Software HDR decoding from Pixel XL

Has anyone looked into this already?

Since the Axon 7 has exactly the same panel as the Pixel XL it'd be nice to see HDR support on it, even though it might look worse

Thanks, I didn't know about that mod.
After installing it, I managed to enable HDR options for the videos, but we lose the 1440p resolution, the videos don't play smooth anymore and the image quality is even worse. Using either S8 or Pixel XL manufacturers/models.
At least I have black theme and background playback.

YouTube locks HDR videos to 1080p for anything that is not a pc or chromecast ultra. Normal videos should be unchanged and still have 1440p

I'm using an adaptation from another user ( @raystef66 i think?). Would this work even then?
I'll try anyways and report back

No, do not use unofficial versions only use the official one

@KevinX8,
Hi, as far as I can see, there is no 1440P for video, so what is the issue with your phone, can you make itmore clear? Thanks!

Google has limited HDR on android to 1080p, if you want a higher res HDR you must use a chromecast ultra or supported pc

What are the model/manufacturers you have to use? I used 'google' and 'Pixel XL' but it seemingly wasn't right xd

@Choose an username..., @aLexzkter ,
Have you fixed your phone's problem? Which model are you apply when this issue happen on your phone? Usually, there is no 1440 for video, are you sure?

This was not a problem at all. The thing is that enabling HDR for Youtube limits the quality to 1080p hdr. This is basically a technical limitation and is not a problem of the phones.

It's a limitation put in place by Google themselves to sell more chromecast ultras, only them and pcs are allowed to stream 4k HDR from youtube

Laggy 4k 60fps video recording

Hi there all,
I received my 6T 8/256 last week. I'm still in official ver 0.7. I've checked that all my videos recorded in 4k 60fps are laggy. They skip frames and do not reproduce accordingly. I thought it may be a buffer problem in the phone itself, and moved them to the computer. They are laggy per se, they're recorded with this failures. Let's say they lag every 2 o 3 seconds (only video, not audio), giving the impression of a low quality, under resources smartphone.
Can you double check this? Can anybody confirm this problem is fixed in next updates? Otherwise I will have to switch to 30fps, which is a real pity in the quality standard.
Thx guys.

Does not lag on mine, but I have McLaren edition

Me too
Lags on my OP6 too. Even the 4k30 results are choppy. It's been like this for months now, videos come out like crap all the time.

Video is running fine on my OP6T at 4K60. I also have the 8/256 variant. I am currently on OB17. Maybe update your phone to the latest OOS as I know they made a few camera updates between what you're running and the latest OOS (9.0.17). Or you could download a newer APK for the camera from another source. I believe the newer camera versions from the 7/7 Pro work on the 6T but have issues in some modes (Pro mode, I believe}.

Same. Faulty unit?

Same here. I think this is because of crapy camera app that needs to be rebuilt because it has bad algorithms botch video and photo

I honestly prefer GCam on this device. I haven't noticed any issues with it on the device. Even with recording at the specifications that you noted above. Pictures are also of much better quality.

I use the GCam Tool from the Play Store. I use it mainly to stop the multiple subfolders created when taking portrait photos but it can also be used to flip/mirror the front camera images if the camera app you use doesn't offer the option (some combinations of GCam and Custom ROMs need to have the flip option enabled to correct the images).

I am quite certain GCam doesn't support 4K60 on the OP6T, only 4K30 max. I may be wrong, so apologies if I am.

Hmm...I set the settings and it showed the 60fps icon in the corner so I assumed it was recording at that frame rate.

These are just what I have set with the config file for the beta. Seems to record and playback fine.

Best Google Camera port and settings?

Hi, is there a Google Camera port out there that is generally considered as the best for Max Pro M1 (3GB) right now? I've been watching videos on Youtube, and they usually use different settings. Most videos are in Hindi as well, so I don't fully understand, I mean, why do they use just HDR instead of HDR+? Why Full HD 1080p for videos instead of 4K UHD 30fps? How do you determine the right port and settings, do you just try them out one by one? Right now I'm using the latest port by marlin-ku, which is GCam_7.0.009_A_011.

It's trial and error for the version, the one which works works simple, I use hdr+ it's good for me and video quality personal preference.

Thanks for the reply! I tested many versions though and all of them seems to work well, so I'm not really sure what to pick. I guess people don't use 4k that much because it can be laggy?

Does the night mode works well with this cam? With my gcam version I get greenish tint in all the photos with night mode.
