Weird problem with HW Video Deconding or Camera APK - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just some problem I'm having with mine LT15a and would like to share:
When playing a hardware accelerated video or using the camera apk to shot a photo, i got that issue from attached image. It looks like vsync is disabled for HW decoding, because it is normal in home screen, games and software decoding videos.
I got my LT15a display repaired last month because of cracked display (No problems with HW videos so far!), it back to me with this "vsync" problem, so I sent it again to repair last week. The technical said they already switched the display again and the camera lens(lol) and the problem still persists.
I use dimiu rom with jasonstein kernel, I tried flashing back to stock and many others roms but no use, same issue, so I think it is not software related.
Anyone have a clue of what the problem can be?
Attached image is a "gimped" example of the issue.
Imagine this is as a HARDWARE VIDEO DECODING of a image scrolling down!!

[Q] media link banding on tv

Hi guys
has anyone else experianced a flickering every now and then when using the media link accessory. It occurs every few seconds and caused the picture to bounce, with a usually green band on the bottom part of the screen. Ive started to use zoom to get rid of the banding on my tv - not ideal and the boucing is still there.
this is occuring on all my videos, using both mobo and gallery.
Ive got samsung plasma 50 inch tv, it also occurs on my 23inch led sammy and my 40inch sammy lcd (older tv). ive fiddled with my networks and cannot get rid of the problem, i think there maybe an issue with the firmware on the device but need other people to say they are also having this issue before i go to htc.
thanks guys

Strange line when recording in Slow Motion

Whenever I record using Slow Motion I get a very thin line down the centre of the video. I can see it whilst recording and playing back. I do not see the line when recording in any other mode which suggests to me it's a software fault (hopefully fixed with an update) not a hardware fault.
Was just wondering if any one else is experiencing something similar, and if anyone knows what's causing this.
UPDATE: I've just tried this in better lighting conditions and the line disappears! It only seems to occur in low-light conditions.

No problems on my end.

Clicking noise when playing back a video

I am having an issue with videos recorded on my LGG4. During playback on the phone or uploaded to Facebook, there is a constant clicking noise that can be heard over any recorded sound on every video. I have tested several different recordings and all are the same. Here is a short sample that you can listen too...

Bad phone or is there a easy fix?
Hi. I have the same playback issue on my G4. I tried recording with Google Camera and I had no problem, no weird sounds or whatever. I guess this happens only when using the stock camera app. Mine is updated to MM v20a.
Hi, same problem here. That's the second exchange with amazon, the first one had display issues (random white noise on the right half of the display) this one has the clicking noise during video recording on the left channel. Seems like it's related with the wifi module: disabling it the clickning noise disappears, but the audio recording is still bad compared to the previous g4 i returned to amazon.

I have the same issue. Strange that everything is fine when using different app. Looks like firmware problem ? Did you sort it out ? I have just updated my phone to Android 6.0 v20c .
guys, can you try turn off wifi then record video , do you still have clicking sound ?
if u use a case, try record without the case.
Hi. I have switched my wifi off and I did not notice any changes. Still I can hear clicking noise. I do not use any cases. Strange that everything is fine when I using google camera open app... I found out that lots of people noticed the same issue. It cannot be hardware problem...
I have the same problem, but ONLY and ONLY if wifi is on, i get clicking sound in stock camera WITH wifi on, in other apps i dont have it, but when i turn it OFF , clicking sound is gone... even when i record video and during recording i turn of wifi, sound instantly dissapears, for me it's the wifi problem, i can upload video if you dont belive me
I have the same clicking noise with or without wifi on. I did not notice any issues when using open google camera app. Looks like it is stock camera app fault ?

clicking sound comes near earpiece.what default camera does is that it records audio from secondary mic which is near earpiece.whereas 3rd party camera womt use secondary mic.that too clicking sound will come more when wifi/bluetooth is ON.
Same here, and clicking goes away with WiFi off.
Wanted to ask, did anybody return and got a replacement device based on this? Or even had it fixed by service?
I mean, are there devices that don't have this problem? Cause if there are, then it's a valid warranty/service request.
I have got my mother board replaced.

Was that the only problem it had? And is the problem gone now?
We purchased one of these in December and there was no issue with the phone. We had to return the phone for another reason and when we got it back it was updated to the latest version of Android Marshmellow (It was on Lollipop when it left) and the clicking was there. We also noticed a minor reduction in photo quality, not something I can put a finger on it, but when we first got it the photos were awesome, now they are not so clear, colourful, sharp.
Edit:
We sent it back for repair again due to the clicking and when we got it back (last night) nothing changed, it still makes the same noise.
I can stop the clicking but I have to turn off Wifi, Data and bluetooth and then it seems to go away.
As I'm new to Android I'm hesitant to see if I can take it back to Lollipop and see if it stops the problem.
What version of software are you on?
Does turning off Wifi, Data, Bluetooth help? Or does it just reduce the sound?
Do the pictures seem less then what a camera with these specs should have?
Marshmallow v20d. Yes turning off things makes the clicking go totally away. Can't comment on picture quality change, as I updated to marshmallow as soon as I got it.
Had mine sent two times in less than a month, on its way to the third this week.
First time was sent with this audio problem and battery swelling. They replaced the battery and the charging connectors, but said they could not reproduce the earpiece clicking noise during their tests, despite the fact that I had included in the phone a video example showing the problem, clear instructions on how to replicate the problem and the shop lady confirming - in writing - that she had tested and confirmed that there was a clicking noise problem. Problem was, when I received the phone from the first repair I was unable to test whether the audio problem was gone or not because they changed the last account associated to the phone, completely blocking me from accessing it and verify if the audio problem as still present.
Sent back a second time on the same day, with even more clear details on how to reproduce the audio problem - since they failed to reproduce the first time, I assumed it was still there - returned after a simple software upgrade and I was able to finally enter the phone. Came home, tested with WiFi (store's wifi was down) and the audio problem was still there, completely unchanged.
Tested without SIM (in case LTE/GSM etc. could be causing interference with WiFi), tested without SDCARD (at this point I was just trying to see what they did to NOT replicate the problem) and tested with 5GHz wifi, in case the problem was only with 2.4GHz bands. No change, the audio problem was always there.
After reading this thread, and other threads in different forums, I am certain that this is a hardware problem and I will demand that the store tech writes in the warranty sheet that he confirmed the problem, along with a very detailed step-by-step instruction guide to replicate the problem, video example included inside the phone and a link to video example hosted only for them to hear clearly what the problem is, just in case they fail to understand the obvious (https://youtu.be/oZOb8tIl5lw). Finally, I'm going to contact LG directly to report this situation and to take action if the incompetent brand techs fail to replicate and fix the problem yet again.
The only good part about all this is that they have been really fast, no more than week and a half (weekends included) for both "repairs".
NFC was the issue on my android Nokia 3
I have a brand new Nokia 3 running android 7.1.1
It also has the problem of audio clicks on video recordings. THE PROBLEM IS NFC. When NFC is disabled the clicks go away. Not impressed with a 2017 smartphone model having thus issue. Though Nokia probably have the Microsoft bug curse
I have the same problem with my 2016 LG G4. I sent my phone to LG Service and they replaced my speaker obviously not resolving the problem... now I'm sending it back again.

Camera rotation issues

So, I've had this issue for a while now and have just dealt with it for the past year. I've searched to see if others have experienced the same issue, but haven't found any posts...so here it goes.
In 3rd party apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, when the camera first opens (front and back camera) everything looks normal. Once I take the picture however, the pic turns 45° and stretches the picture. I actually first experienced the rotation issue in Periscope. Everything is rotated a whole 180°, not usable at all for live streaming.
Has anyone else experienced this at all and a perhaps knows of a fix?
I have factory reset my tablet twice to see if it was caused from an app I previously installed; yet still happening.
Samsung Tab S 10.5
SM-T800
Running 6.0.1
I've had this same exact problem with sending screenshots to people.

Slow motion video lagging

Whenever I record a video using the slow motion mode, the video is kind of lagging and missing frames. I have tried cleaning the camera cache and data, but no success. I also changed the resolution, changed the storage location to the internal one, but again no success.
I am using a Snapdragon S20 Ultra.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I have attached one example.
I have the same problem with the Exynos version. The service replaced my motherboard and other components several times and it did not help. I finally got a completely new phone and the problem still exists. What's worse, I saw that there is also this problem in the S21 Ultra. I lost hope that Samsung would solve this problem.

Yeah my exynos s20 ultra is the same...but wasn't always like this...I've recorded videos in slow mode from my gallery that plays fine,so hopefully its only software related
I have this problem from the beginning. I would expect it to be solved with new updates, but it's worse now than it was at the beginning. I know that this is not a function that so many people use, but it is unbelievable that Samsung will not be able to eliminate it ...
