None at the moment. But this feature will be on the Pie Update.

Any custom ROM at present solves this problem bro??

try gsi roms. They have working notch on my experience.

For videos, you can use MI Video player (MIUI).
For games, wait for Pie update which MAY fix the issue.

Htc hd2 Video distorted.

Hi im really hoping to find some help here. just yesterday i came back from a trip to disney world with the family. i took a 5 minute video of the fireworks show and when i look at the video now on my phone it wont show up. i hooked it up to my computer and transfered the video over but when i play it on my computer it will show up but its all distorted with green boxes dissaperaing a reappearing. the only way i can watch the video on my phone is with tcpmp and even then it still shows distorted, the sound is perfect but the video isnt. funny enough i had shot a 2 min video before that one seconds before on my phone and it came out perfect. any ideas as to why this happened. and ideas on how i can get the video i shot to look normal again? maybe repair it? any help would be well appreciated.
just a lil bump.. no help at all?
I have this issue also. It only does this when I do videos longer than 2 or 3 minutes back to back. I would love a solution as I am losing really good material due to it. Like you said, the sound is perfect but the green tint distorts the video. I did notice the phone gets hot while taking the video so may be that has something to do with the issue.
I'm starting to think now this phone is a POS and completely waste of money when it comes to multimedia. I mean let's be honest here name of the phone is HD2 (high definition) yet it can't even play HD video let it be OS related, as we at it let's be real we all know its also limited to 65k colors. Far as video goes by now all know the audio sync issue, along with the original pink aurora BS. I wonder if Evo has this problem.
PS: This is not a rant so all you fanboys take it easy.

Ummm no. I play HD movies all the time. Most of my videos come out fine. This isn't an everyday issue.
Hello guys and gals. This is my first post and sadly it's in regard with a problem. I have the same issue with the recorded movie files. If it's bigger then 5 minutes sometimes it ends up unusable. This only happens after i changed the sd card with a new 8gb one. I wonder ...

Addicus I suggest you look in to this thread: Major flaw in the HTC HD2: 250ms Audio Delay
Even with extended detailed test if you still say you have no audio sync issue in video and time time hickups as it freeze then post what you are doing in that thread. Most of us has to encode the video and use filter to compensate for it.

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

Yes, I have figured it out a while ago. Even so, thank you very much, it was really annoying

Full screen mode + games

Is there a way to force apps / games to open in a 16:9 portrait / 16:9 landscape mode with black bars so that the image isn't cropped? I switched to the Pixel 2 XL from the Galaxy S8+ and it did this unless you opted into playing it fullscreen.
Right now the Pixel 2 XL just automatically opens games in fullscreen mode which crops out some of the edges and thus making some games unplayable. Is there a display setting I'm missing? Anyone else having the same issue?
Same issue
The screen for it popped up so fast when I opened it for the first time. I am considering deleting the game and downloading it again

Are you on 8.0 or 8.1? When I was on 8.1, playing golf clash, it was zoomed in a bit and cropped out on the sides. Since I reverted back to 8.0, golf clash is not zoomed in anymore. They may have fixed the issue on their end.
What game you trying play?

I'm on 8.1. I'm playing walking dead road to survival. How do I revert to 8.0 if this seems to be the case?

You can go to Google Android development to unenroll in the beta. You will get software update to revert back to 8.0. This will wipe your device.

Looks like it comes down to the developer. I opted out and reverted back to 8.0 public release and the game is still stuck in fullscreens mode.

Bad microphone quality on instagram.

Hey guys, I'm having some troubles after updating from stock 8.1 to custom 8 or 9 roms.
Video recording is awesome on Gcam, but on apps like Instagram and snapchat, the sound of recording seems to be supressed and extremely low.
I actually did some searching for fixing, but i didn't found anything that worked.
Does anyone is having this problem too?
There is a fix for that?

I already have checked about cleaning, but it's already clean.
If i boot on stock, the microphone works very well.
As i mentioned, looks like that there is something on software that is supressing the audio, cause on Gcam, it works nicely, but on apps, it's supressed.
Another reason to stick on stock then.

Same here. I didn't find any solutions, so all I do is record 15 second video on my gcam and post that on instagram. ?
Its a known issue on custom roms for our device (and others actually).
The workaround could be like carastroren1991 said, record using gcam and upload to IG.

Yeah, i'm doing it, but sometimes you don't have time to... I belive that is a problem on audio software that makes the noise reduction...

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.
