[Q] Froyo EB13 - Video Recorder not working - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did the manual update to 2.2 on my Epic and am having issues with video recording. When I try to record video in normal mode I get a Recording Failed error. Has anyone seen this issue and help me out? I am on the stock ROM.

I was just dealing with this error. Went into the video settings, selected the wrench, reset, and it worked fine.

Thanks! I just did the reset and it is working fine.

Best Camera/Camcorder to Use.

I am rooted using Vaelpak rom, but this has happened on other roms too. But any time I record a video and I either play it back on my phone or any other device it just skips, freezes, pauses etc.
Is there a settings to fix this or any other rom that records smooth video? Without hiccups or skips?

I never had a problem with my playback of videos. What roms has this happened to you in? Some roms, especially newer one have problems with 720p video playback so that's why it may seem choppy or whatever!
Have you tried going into recovery, doing a complete wipe of everything and flashing sprint lovers rom......I know for a fact that everything works like a charm on that rom!

this video cannot be played (taken on nexus)

Anyone having intermittent problems with video ..... even videos recorded on the GN ......
Getting a message after a few seconds 'sorry this video cannot be played'.
This is using stock player. First few seconds play fine. Try again later and they work ....
Try to kill the app or make a reboot and test it again.

I have the same issue with the stock video player. Using Dice Player now as it plays pretty much everything I throw at it. Hopefully an update should fix.

Exactly the same problem here, if you wait for all the video thumbnail pictures to refresh they play fine. Must be a bug in the stock video app. Like has been mentioned here in a previous post, dice player works great. Hopefully a software update will fix it soon

My 1x is stock.
When i started video recording the phone just froze
Have u tried a factory reset.?
Otherwise when on stock i would return it....
Lagging and video recording not following may be ICS problem, but if it freeze, I don't think you can do anything about it. If custom ROm that would be the problem, but not on stock.
So try what the guy above me said, reset, if not working then return it to the store.

Do u have a secondary camera app installed?
Deleted it first
This is not a normal thing to happen on stock
I hope factory reset does the trick cause sending it in is never fun
not happened to me and ive used the vid a lot
stock here
Hi,
I had a similar problem (stock ROM + 1.28 patch from HTC fixing battery issue): trying to record any video made the camera app to stop after generating a 792K .mp4 movie file that couldn't be read (recording stopped immediately after being started).
At the same time the battery monitoring app was reporting that the 'multimedia server' was eating most of the energy of the battery while no particular 'multimedia' app was running (see code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6765 (as a noob here I can't write URL yet..)).
I deleted all .mp3/.jpg/.mp4 file on the flash memory (using a USB cable with a PC) but nothing changed. Then after deleting these files I rebooted the One X using the 'restart' feature of the on/off button.
Bingo: video recording now works, and the battery monitoring app does not report any more consumption about the 'multimedia server'. Obviously there is some link between failure to record video, a broken .mp4/.mp3/.jpg file and the mysterious 'multimedia server' service/app.
I should have tried to delete files one by one to figure exactly what file was troubling the multimedia server but I didn't since I had nearly no pictures worth something on the phone (bought it a few days ago).
All the .mp3 files were the stock files provided with the One X, the only .mp4 files were coming from failed attempts at using the video recording feature, I had 3x.jpg taken with the phone itself, plus a .jpg coming from an attachment from a email sent by wife's iPhone.

[Q] Video recorder and voice search problem for the Docomo Optimus G

After a few weeks of using my L-01E, I've come across a problem. I can take pictures, but not record videos. Also, whenever I want to use the voice search function, I always get "Audio problem". Do you think both are related? Anyone else come across this problem?

I am having the same problem.....have you figured anything out? I tried restarting my phone and nothing worked. I even restarted the software and nothing happened. Btw just saying its only the voice recording issue, because I tried recording without audio and I was able to record fine.
Hard reseted?
Could be a software problem for you
The cause of my problem was that I had installed an app called "Magicjack", and this app was not fully compatible with my phone. I uninstalled, and after that, everything was back to normal. Maybe you're running an app that isn't compatible with your phone?
It Worked!

Wow! Thank you! You just made my day! I checked this after such a long time struggling with the problem. I too, had Majicjack. The thing is I need majicjack to call for free. I need to call places like canada. Anywho, thanks so much! However, why won't the video recording or mic not work just because of a app? I don't understand that?

Btw you can have the app installed on your phone but whenever you record a video or record in general just make sure to forcestop majicjack. Now this way you can have the app installed and record. I am so happy!
e977, no magicjack
I having the same problem on my e977 running cyanogenmod 10.1 (e975 build), but I've never installed magicjack on my phone.
I managed to solve part of the problem by uninstalling soundhound (I can record video using the camera app), but it still not recording video using Vine or Instagram (Vine crashes, Instagram don't save video).
Any ideas?

Camera crashes when zooming

I got this issue lately when I try to zoom while recording video the camera app crashes and the recorded video is not saved (is corrupted and not playable). This used to work in the first week I got the phone, I remember using it at least once. I tried clearing data and cache for the app, but no joy.
Anybody else has this issue ?
For me it works just fine on Full Hd - 1080p and UHD - 2160p
This problem appears to be specific to the T-Mobile version. I asked around on Reddit to verify. I too have this same issue. Has anybody found a fix? I'm using the Google camera for right now as I don't need 4k video recording. Maybe a software reimage would help? It's possible they were shipped with a bad image on the device.
I had the same crash in my att device the first time I used it. Exactly the same . video and zoomed and I noticed it didn't refocus then it locked up.

Does it still happen? Were you able to fix it without using another camera app?

I find it hard to believe this phone was even QA'd. Such a basic, useful function was broken out of the factory for almost everyone.
Mine works fine - I will admit I didn't try zoom when I first got it, and now I have updated the media xml files with the ones in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778570
Not sure if that is making it work or not but works perfect for me.
If I get this same issue will just return my phone...this is crazy!
What I forgot to mention is that I have switched to ART. Could this be the cause ? Anyone with ART enabled on their G3 has this problem ?
Just to answer my own question, I switched back to davlik and still have this problem
I'm having the same issue. Mine is an AT&T LG G3 D850 not rooted and using ART. I was thinking about switching back to DAVLIK but seeing as you tried that and it didn't work for you.... I even restated the phone.
Unfortunately the v10e update doesn't fix this problem we're having
Have you reported it to LG yet ?

Solved
My G3 international version D855 had this problem ... i applied a hard reset and it works ... now it's fine with zooming while recording
I hope that may help
Its a bug in the LG Camera App. I just tried it on the LG camera app = crash, downloaded Google Camera = No crash on zoom while recording.
Edit: LG D850
Just got my G3 on Verizon about a week ago, same problem. Zooming in camera works fine but not with video. It did a few days ago, just noticed today that it doesn't work.
Edit: Tried the files that nest75068 suggested, didn't work for me and ended up making the Camera app crash even when trying to start a video. Google camera worked initially with video, crashed when I tried to switch to the front camera and now crashes on start. Focal also crashes when starting a video.
I'm having this on my unlocked UK (2GB) D855 variant. I've only noticed crashes while zooming while taking 4K video however.
Yesterday got a phone call from LG support. He said he was second line support, but I had to spend 5 minutes explaining to him what ART and Dalvik are and another 5 minutes trying to convince him that sending the phone to LG won't help. Disappointed, but no different from Samsung or HTC support in that respect.
If you have this problem please report it to LG, maybe if they have few more reports they will pull their finger out of their ass and do something about it.
I've called them and they couldn't help me either. I also asked them about there wireless charging stand that they announced along side the G3 announcement and where I could buy it... the person I talked to didn't know what I was talking about... they didn't even understand what PMA and Qi wireless charging was! I asked if they could connect me to someone who knew about there products and they said I had to call back to talk to someone else.... ?WHAT!?!?
I wasn't even aware you COULD zoom while doing video, but tried this at all resolutions except the slowmo and reproduced the bug.
