[Q] Problem with camcorder on my Defy?

I'm having a constant problem with video errors when using the camcorder on my Defy. It's like white lines coming from the top right of the screen, appearing during fast movement or with a lot of light. I did a quick search but didn't find anything so I'm kinda worried my Defy may be defective. I've embedded a sample video. Watch the top right corner.
After a few more tests I've noticed the problem occurs on the majority of videos but light makes it stands out more (white lines instead of dark lines). This is using the standard VGA mode on the camcorder. The problem is also visible while recording, it isn't something that appears only when playing back.

If it helps, my System version is Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.GB. Build number is JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated, need to find out ASAP so I can figure out if I need to exchange it.

Look at mine...
look at this. And I cannot help it, dont know what to do.

I have the same problem while recording at VGA if something black appears in the corner. But there is no problem while recording at CIF. Using the Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE rom

I'm not finding a problem with CIF either, just VGA. For example using QIK there is no problem at all and that appears to use CIF.

Hi,
Anyone use this app as main camera?
I am trying it but sometimes i get force closes and to take a photo it takes to long.
What do you think about this app?

Erm and why would u like to use it cam?? :S

I really like it. No FC at all, on both photo and video side (tested on CM7 and MIUI). Ok, it's not the best graphically, but it has a lot of options.
The only problem i do have is that vertical photos show up rotated left

I'm using it with no problems on 2.3.5 xxki3, great app, as you can turn off the stupid autofocus while video recording!
It's the only unofficial camera app I've found that supports 1080p video recording smoothly. AND it lets you set the audio bitrate in-app!

[Q] Sense 3.5 ROM with stable camera functionality?

I've been trying out a few Sense 3.5 ROMs, and something important for me to have rather soon is a working camera. So far, it's either not recording every frame (so it appears low framerate), crashes while recording, doesn't have audio, records a white video, crashes when I press the record button, or doesn't record at all. With photos, for the most part it's fine, but I've noticed some weird artifacts in the bottom left corner on some images, or the camera app will crash when I take a photo/enough photos.
If this isn't yet available, what would you say about as far as Sense 3.0 goes?
Thank you!

[Q] Youtube playback grainy/pixelated after flashing IncrediblyParanoid?

Hey guys,
Forgive my ignorance, as I have searched high and low for any information on this, but I was running TazzSense 3.6 for quite a while with no major issues other than some lag that may have been more due to the apps I had installed, and on that ROM the video playback, including youtube in HQ, was clear and great. I tend to watch a lot of youtube videos. Yesterday, because I wanted to try it out, I flashed the latest Incredibly Paranoid after doing the super duper wipe and everything seems to be working great and I love the interface.
However videos on youtube seem pixelated and grainy even on HQ, compared to the old ROM. This seems to be isolated to Youtube or perhaps flash videos because other videos seem to be fine, but playing youtube videos through the app or a browser looks a bit off. I tried turning HQ off (looks worse obviously) and back on again. I also tried messing with all the combinations of Paranoid settings, which changed the look of the UI but not the video playback. I seem to notice a few rows of black pixels to the top and bottom of the video; it's my understanding that these videos are 480p in HQ, so in my mind should fill the screen, could something be scaling vertically slightly and causing the degradation in quality? Are there any other things I could check on? Any input greatly appreciated; if this belongs somewhere else please forgive me.

Yeah that's a bug in older job kernel. Wait for either new cm10.1 or pa jb4.2 or flash evervolv with new 3.0 kernel.

CM11 Front Facing Camera Aspect Ratio

I searched and couldn't find mind help with this. I also searched the cyanogenmod bug system. It has been mentioned in the bug system but it was basically brushed off.
Anyhow, in the stock camera app the front facing camera is fine. But in some third party apps, for example: snapchat, it's distorted. Only with the front facing camera. (took a picture of a coin which is a perfect circle and it comes out as an oval.)
This is on the most current cm11 snapshot and was also in the previous snapshot. Any known fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Really? No one has a clue about this???

I installed the latest snapshot awhile ago and recently i noticed that HDR was taking really dark pics no matter what in the stock app, and then I noticed that the front facing camera doesn't work in 3rd party apps, and hdr doesnt work at all in 3rd party apps. They either take blank pics or crash the app I've been searching for days and i cant find a single fix nothing. I'm sorry i can't be of help, just wanted to let you know I've been looking and can't find anything

I have the exact problem OP is describing for a while now. I would love if someone had an answer.
