Bad voice recording

Anyone noticed how bad the voice recording is on videos and just voice recording? Any ideas or thoughts on how this can be fixed?

Yep,
the voice-recording quality is really low...

For now there's no way to up the audio bitrate in recordings.
But there is an app in the market called "Tapemachine Lite" which records in really high quality. It shows that the Desire HD is capable or high quality recording, but why HTC doesn't implement it in the camcorder we'll never know.

Yes sound quality is really low and I wish it were higher. It could be to improve FPS while recording videos.

Is your voice bad or is the sound of the recorded bad ?

Lol the voice recording is bad. On videos its really bad doesn't pick up the sounds from poeple very well. Just bad noise.
These little little issues have really disheartened me with my DHD. I was expecting the best android phone on the market just to fond out that after installing a few apps /games the GPS takes ages to connect to the point you have to factory reset, a **** speaker that makes watching a movie without headphones hell. And now my browser is dog slow so here comes a other factory reset.

Mic records videos at 32kbps bit rate, mono and 8KHz sampling rate, but the mic can record in better quality outside video recording but for some reason it's like that while recording.
GPS takes ages to connect

I've got tons of apps installed and GPS is good, I don't know why it's like that for you.

What have you done with your phone?? Lol, it shouldn't be, I can assure you of that. Have you tried some custom roms?

No solution for you just letting you know I have had the same problem it stutters for a second then continued :-/
Sent from my LT15i using Tapatalk

Same here. It stops for a second or two. Then it continue recording.
But not all the time.

i have the same problem here

I was recording a clip about 3-4 mins into recording it hanged and continued then hanged again this time fatally as I had to force close the camera app. however i did not lose the footage ....

Same here but with no freeze. I have ever record for 12 minutes.

Is this unsolved promblem??

Could it be sdcard related maybe??
Sent from my X10a using XDA App

I had this issue to but it solved it by itself. what i think is ram related not SD i have a class6 SD card. now i kill often all apps and have no lag anymore. i think this is why HC put more ram in the phones and why nexus s doesn't record 720p.
ps: when it lagged the sound was off on the playback.

when i record, it has a momentary glitch after about 5 seconds, for about half a second then carries on recording, happens every time.

Yes I can also confirm that after recording a 720p film I get 2-3 short stutters on playback. Going to try again with auto focus and sound turned off.

I have similar problem too. 38s video recording seems fine, but I couldn't do playback. Then when I try to force-playback the video, it went silent after 10 seconds mark.

I have the same video recording glitch problem too..

Only got a slight pause when there was a lot of motion in the clip. If the subjects were stationary without much background movement, there's no stuttering while recording.

hi.. I am part of a uk test lab that SE have set up.. I have raised this issue with them and I'm awaiting a response.. might be a week or two though as it goes via their products director. commodoor - your point about memory makes sense..the app probably needs tweaking to reserve more memory when it starts, or when HD video recording is activated.

Woww it seems to work.. with image stablizer off in video mode, no glitch or any problem with video recording Thanks General Grant

Nope... even after turning off image stabilizer, still doesn't work.. What works is if I restart the phone. After using it for about half hour with some applications running, the problem comes on again. It's pretty consistent.

Tried to do 50s video with IS off. The problem gone
Tried it with 5min+ recording. No problem either.
I guess the problem is really the IS feature.

Yep still getting stutters in recording with IS off. Have tried changing focus settings but nothing seems to work. Have also updated to the latest. 184 build.

Lag, low quality video streaming, and video stutter.

I bought the Verizon g2 a couple days ago and have noticed some serious lag. This thing is a beast and I don't think it should be experiencing some of the things I'm experiencing. The first thing I noticed was that the screen is unbelievably sensitive so much so that I'll have my thumb hovered over the on screen buttons on the bottom and it will register that I've pressed them without touching the screen. It shouldn't bother as much a it does but it doesn't happen all the time which I find odd.
The second gripe I have is with the serious lag I've experienced. The home screen lags terribly, when opening apps it lags, and when using apps it lags. It randomly stops music playback after a song has finished. And knock on only works half the time, if that.
The last gripe is that video playback looks horrendous... I've used YouTube and Netflix with HD video and it looks like its playing 480p. It's such low quality and actually stutters when the camera is panning around. I have VERY fast Verizon FIOS internet that can handle 1080p video playback at all times. I know it is not the internet connection so it must be the phone. Are these problems that others have experienced or should I be looking to replace it with another phone? If this is to be expecting with this phone should I just return it for the HTC One? any discussion/ help/ advice is greatly appreciated!

I've seen none of these issues whatsoever except the home screen "lag." I've got the Verizon version. the home screen lag i describe is launcher redraw. search youtube for my video "LG g2 launcher redraw" and I'm sure you'll find it. the remedy? I use nova launcher prime now and don't even bother with the stock g2 launcher. works much better and looks just like KitKat.
my video playback looks great. YouTube is known for only showing 720p and never 1080. there are modded youtube apps for 1080, though.

Yeah I thought the home screen lag wasn't a big deal and was pretty normal but the video truly is terrible. My brother has an iphone 4 and it looks MUCH better than what I get on the G2. I'm pretty convinced I just got a bad unit because I'm also experiencing an annoying buzzing sound during phone calls. It's like a high pitched, low volume hissing that is on for a few seconds, cuts out, then comes back on for another few seconds. I've researched quite a bit on this phone and the HTC One and this seems to be a pretty common bug for the G2. I'm going to return this unit for another one and hope that most (if not all) of these bugs are gone, but if they aren't I'm going to have to go with the HTC One or the S4. Thanks for the reply though.

Quick follow up after returning my phone and getting another. So far it's working perfectly. Tested the call quality and no high pitched tone so that's good. Absolutely no lag so far. This phone's awesome!

XCam by xdabbeb (originally for G3 works for the Stylo)

Hi everyone.
Thanks to an user from Android forums find out that this particular app works nicely with our LG Stylo , i have notice pictures are better than the Native cam app installed on this device.
You can download the LOLLIPOP ..APK from this Thread and thank you @xdabbeb for this amazing camera software.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/app-xcam-lg-v5-1-0-t2873604
You guys can give it a shot and tell us here what you thing about it if is Better than the native lg cam app or non at all.

some LOW-light and Night Picture test using XCam

Thanks you for posting this. I love the phone, but I really hate the camera. This app makes the pictures come out so much more clear.
Edit:
I just noticed the front camera only goes to 2m. I thought It was supposed to be a 5m camera?

have you tried to see if the phone can record on the 1080p 60 fps option

Slow camera while recording

I have the XT1640 variant of the G4 Plus. Im noticing a problem in the camera app. It affects every camera app that I tested.
When I try to record a video, the image is very slow and choppy. The video itself looks fine, but while recording the image I see on the phone looks very slow. It distracts me a lot when trying to record anything.
Anyone know why is that and how can I fix it?
Thanks a lot

Im running LineageOS 14.1, unlocked bootloader and Magisk rooted (core only mode).
I've tried using Motorola Stock camera app (flashed) and the default LineageOS camera app. Oh, and I had the same problem when I was using stock ROM.
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using XDA Labs

I had similar issue with all custom roms. Camera became too laggy while recording videos, works fine in sock naugat.
I tried moto camera, snap camera, Google camera, cameringo. But all failed.
Only Footej seems to work. But it had slow transitions between switching mods.
The only solution I found for this is HTC camera. It works perfect for me.
Check and reply if it works.?

I think it's a design failure (or limitation) of the device, because it happened on every rom that i used. I notice tons of heat when the lag occurs, usually it's noticeable when i record in 1080p quality, by at least 10 minits (if i use the dual led's to record it occurs much sooner).
I do not know if it's the msm_thermal throttling the cpu, or if the eMMc chip gets really hot and cant manage all the data that the camera (actually the cpu) tries to store there.
It's a high-end camera managed by a mid-range CPU, SD617.
Anyway, if you record in 720p quality this issue surely wont exist, in my case, i have not any kind of lag when i record in 720p.

.the delay you are experiencing is because of stabilization. In default moto camera app, at the top left corner, hand icon. Turn it off, problem solved
