Is it possible to have the defy recording videos while the screen is off? I would like to document longer hikes and such and the screen is the biggest energy-consumer while doing so.
There are apps which can turn the screen black but i havent found any which let you disable the screen completely.
Whats the matter? Can it be hacked ?
Also is itpossible to record the sound through a headset-microphone while recording videos?
I would prefer using a dedicated mic as wind-noise is pretty strong while riding a bike and i think a headset-mic could work way better.

This is really bugging me. I watch a lot of video commuting to work and it sucks to have the buttons stay lit up while I´m watching video in full screen. Is there a way to disable this during playback?
I always place my S3 in my windshield dock. It lets my phone have clear video recording view of the road in front of me.
Am wondering if there are any apps that I can use which will record video and recycle the data storage. I mean, if I start recording and never stop it, it will eventually fill up my storage. So I'm looking for something that can be set to a maximum of say, 30 minutes and then start recording over the old footage.
I'd then use something like Tasker to set my phone to automatically start video recording every time I put my phone in the dock. So if I ever got into a car accident, my video recording can show authorities who was at fault.
Anything like that out there?
the technology you are referring to is a "blackbox" recorder. Simply go to the play store and search apps for "blackbox" which yields tons of apps that do what you are looking for.

Hey Guys,
I have a question, me being lame tried to record a live set from a dj without the video (I did not want to separate the two) but the built in audio recorder records only in mono....
Is there any recording software which :
- Stereo
- uses the full capability of the Microphone(s)
Thanks in advance!
I bought this phone to record stereo audio, but am having the same problems.
Does it record stereo video?
Then why not stereo audio!?
It really bothers me that no one has ever found a way how to bypass the camcorder lock on the stereo microphones.
I tried ALL RECORDING APPS on the market. And with every possible setting!
Everything is always mono. Using just the bottom Mic.
I Even tried nTrack and Fruity Loops, Field Recorder, etc.
Only way to record HDR Stereo Sound is by using the original HTC Camcorder app in 720p (to save storage space) and then to copy the audio out using
a converter. (I always set saturation to black and white, Exposure down to -2 and fixate the focus on a bright light to keep the overall video black to just save more space)
I then use Media Coder on Windows, or the MP3 Video Converter app that comes with TubeMate. No need to convert the audio, it just takes the audio track out of video without doing any alterations.
But still a big Problem. The Camera app always turns up the Background Light to 100% by default (and you can't even manually turn it down) so it eats up your battery.
(Any other camera app on the market doesn't do stereo either)
And the MP4 Video Files are huge compared to the AAC audio files, so no possible way to record stuff that's longer than 4 hours (unless you have several SD Cards and a Power Outlet at hand.
PLEASE!! If Any Of You Pros Are Reading This! Help Us!!!
I think it shouldn't be too hard to tear down the pre installed HTC Camera app programming, to find the key for unlocking the ways of Stereo Recording of Audio Only.
If I only had any programming knowledge I would try it myself.
But I can't even write a Pong game...

My LG G3 has part of the touchscreen not working. I want to use it to record 4k video, but the camera settings icon is on part of the screen that doesn't respond to touch. Rotating the phone does not rotate the camera icons. All I'm mainly trying to do is switch the video recording to 4k. It's currently on 1080p.
I've tried 5 or so camera apps, and a few of them will put camera settings in the middle of the screen, but as far as I can tell, most 3rd-party camera apps can't record 4k video. Their settings menu comes up in the middle of the screen, and I can choose 1080p and lower but not higher. If those apps are supposed to be able to record 4k, then I guess there's something else wrong with my phone, because they don't give a 4k option. I've never tried 4k on it before at all.
I've read CameraMX can record 4k video, but it uses the same camera buttons as the stock app, so I still can't press the settings icon button.
Is there some other way to switch the recording to 4k mode? Edit a file somewhere or something? Or another camera app that can do 4k and also puts the settings menu somewhere besides the upper-left of the screen?

...Of course! I forgot all about that kind of thing. And now at midnight I dug around in my boxes of random computer parts knowing there's an OTG cable in there somewhere I bought years ago "because you never know when you'll need an OTG cable."
BOOM. Changed to 4k.
4k video recording was going to be the main use for the phone now, and I was getting ready to sell it because it was stuck on 1080p.
I was focused on this specific camera problem and didn't think to try a more generic search of how to access a dead screen. That might have made this thread unnecessary. Oh well.
Now to look up how to increase the recording bitrate. Thank you.
I have a Galaxy S9 Duos (Exynos) and I have an issue when viewing an HDR clip (ex YouTube) on a very dark environment - like at night, in a room with no lights.
When playing the video, the screen keeps changing brightness depending on the light coming from the clip. I suspect the brightness sensor reads some of the brightness from the screen and, as the images change in brightness, the screen brightness changes too. It happens only with HDR videos and I have no issues if I watch the video in normal or dim light, only in complete darkness.
I am wondering if any of you have experienced this?
I have the same in certain scenarios on my Exynos model.
i have the same issue - but i dont think is to do with the light in the room but with youtube app
i aslo have HDR on netflix and Amazon - and i can confirm both work OK
on you tube however it changes - flickers id say - based on whatever is displayed on the video -
so am guessing is a youtube issue
It's good to hear that I'm not the only one having this issue (so my phone is not defective) and it's even better to find that it's only on YouTube (I don't have any other HDR streaming services to test it with). That means it will probably be fixed pretty soon.

Hi,
I have a similar issue with the YouTube app on the S9+ exynos version (UK) but after the March update it didn't happen again for the same video. Although, when I compared YouTube playback with the S8. It didn't seem that HDR was enabled for the same video.
Also the native video player is also not playing back HDR video with it enabled although 'HDR' is bold in the title, identifying that it is a HDR clip. The same clip plays on the S8 with HDR enabled. I wonder why it's inactivated out of the box.
I contacted Samsung on Friday 9th March and they took my serial number and IMEI. They said they'd get back to me this week.
I'm getting this with the S9+ Snapdragon version. Doesn't seem to happen every time though. I killed the youtube app and when I watched the same HDR video again it didn't happen this time while HDR was definitely on.
Doesn't do it when watching in normal light conditions but constantly does in low light .
Same issue here...
S9 plus-US
I also have the same problem in YouTube I'm using s9 plus snapdragon version US , I usually keep the brightness about like 10 to 20% and when I enter into a HDR video and tilt my screen the brightness just goes up drastically and sometimes flickers.
The fix is placing it in cinema mode and turning off adaptive display mode whenever you watch hdr on YouTube on the s9 or s9 plus. Adaptive mode changes the brightness especially in low light when watching hdr. Also keep video enhancer on........
