[Q] Problem with Video Camera (2.3.4 UK) - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all
Am quite new to the xperia play at rooting etc.
I currently have version 2.3.4 android on my phone. Bootloader is unlocked and im using Doomkernal Version 4 which has just recently come out.
Everything is working fine, except i dont see any option with my video camera to select HD fro recording?
All i have is:
High (30m)
Low (30m)
MMS (low 20s)
Youtube (High , 10m)
This is the same as when i bought my phone. Anyone have an idea where im going wrong at all?
Cheers, Kris

on 2.3.4 high(30m) is 720hd! if you take a video and check the formats I believe its MPEG 1280x720!

[Q] Poor video playback with GB ROMs

Hi folks,
I have been using Leedroid 2.2.3 till now and vidoe playback has been superb. I now tried a few GB roms - a stock rooted one, and Leedroid 3.03, and both play back video poorly (I'm talking about downloaded tv shows etc). Sound goes out of sync, and the picture gets jerky.
Is anyone else finding this? Are all GB roms like this? Its a shame because audio quality is alot better with GB than Froyo.
Gary.
Just gonna give this a little bump. No one else having video playback issues with GB ROMs?

Yes, it is possible to have 720p video on your XPlay. Just make sure it's in .mp4 video format and it should play with no issues. I currently have Spartacus: Gods of the Arena in 1280x720 .mp4 videos on my SD card and I can watch them just fine!
I use moboplayer for playing 720p (mainly .mkv or .mp4) see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080194 kenshindono tested and provided a list of players.
I think he means in the camera! I think the Play has the same camera as the arc, which I think supports 720p. Hopefully someone can mod our camera to support it, not all too sure though!
it should definitely be possible, just needs to be enabled with custom software. would probably require a SD card with class 4 or higher, root and/or unlocked bootloader (which is not yet possible on the R800x, the one i have. :lame:

Indeed lol now that you mention it. Well shouldn't his question have been "Hey guys is it possible to record 720 p video on the play the hardware support so I think it wouldn't be hard to do"
i pretty sure it dosent need to be enabled, its just not availible in the stock camera app, try lg camera pro, i used to use that to record 720p on my desire before it had 720p officially
Unfortunately mine cannot play HD anime episodes smoothly (.mp4)
Any solution ?
Wrong section?

This thread was about 720p video recording not playback. The play does not have a screen capable of displaying HD video, so you might as well convert any video to the native res of the screen.

Flash cyanogenmod 9.1 or cyanogenmod 10. im pritty sure it enabled there. as long as you dont use Turbo Kernel as cosmicdan has disabled it in hes kernel to gain extra speed if im not too wrong

[Q] Skype 2.0 with Video calling

skype recently released a new version of skype for video calling on android phones (Nexus S, Desire S, Xperia Neo and Xperia Pro). is there any way we could make the video feature work on our xperia arc's back cam? i installed it but currently theres no option to do video.
no replies yet.
anyway : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708
download skype from here. install on xperia arc. and start with an audio call and then enable video. never start with a video call or the fone will be stuck in landscape.
p.s the video call quality is very goood
Arc does not have a secondary cam maybe Skype software might look for it. That's why it doesn't load the video.
it works. after the video call starts, click the camera button and select back cam.

Defy+ improvements

Hi, i've a "stock" defy+ 2.3.4 (only rooted)
I don't want to put a custom rom, but I want to improve the stock with some addons like 720p recording and if possibile battery percentage. Any hint ?
Hi, the same here (only root, not custom ROM - the stock is pretty fine)... I made 720p recording according this thread. Working fine ...
Hi guys!
The Motorola Defy + is a great phone. I bought mine on Ebay, came from UK.
I´m prety happy with stock rom too, but I wonder if it is possible to have support for the Portuguese language.The Morelocale2 don´t work with Gingerbread 2.3.4
I've installed the patch to record in 720p and it works great!!!
I've done root and I like to know how I do overclock?
Setvsel not work with Defy+ i think... any ideas?
Regards and sorry my bad english
Some questions from me too...
1. Since I rooted and installed recovery, when I check for system update the phone hangs on checking for ever without any response - is it because of rooting or what...
2. It shoots 720p, but in 3gp. LG camera sucks. Is there a way to shoot with another app 720p .mp4
3. Is there any way to put something like power widget in the notification bar - I'm used to it and I miss it a lot. Tried with power widget pro, as it has this option, but it's not working right(tried this with a couple of launchers).

[Q] CM7 video record issue

howdy,
i flashed the latest FW 2.3.4 + CM7 FXP47.
i tried to record a video HD\HIGH\Low, my phone stopped working until i pull'd the battery out.
what can be the problem?
is there an open issue with the camera + cm7?
Yeah, it seems to be broken, along with autorotate. Hopefully the next release will sort it.
i hope so too. thank you very much for your answer.
having this issue too with my ArcS. CM 7.2.0 FXP047 with DoomKernel.
Video recording solved
Try igCamera - it works! - At last I can use CM7.2 without limitations
I'm om Arc S and igCamera records (and captures photos) nicely. Here are my settings:
video: 1270x720 MPEG4 h.264 @ 30fps 8Mbit
audio: 32khz in 128kbps AAC mono
I'm buying it RIGHT away
