So recently I've noticed that when my wife and I exchange video messages via stock, chomp, handsent, or gosms messengers, no matter what the mms configuration is. They alway show up grainy and in one occasion with handsent as a GIF.
So I'v noticed that when I choose to shoot video from within gosms the video settings in the video app are set to mms mode making the video resolution the lowest it can possibly be, so no matter what I set gosms to the initial video is still very low res.
My question is.
Is there a mod or a way to change this so that the video can be taken at a higher resolution.
assuming there are no problems with the phones and you are just annoyed at the lower quality of videos sent between phones, then you are probably stuck. Video takes up a lot of memory and bandwidth. You are better off uploading a better quality video to youtube and then sending her the private link to view it on her phone. There are other cloud options/websites as well for videos
It will still hog the data though.
Perhaps somebody else can chime in with a better solution

No theres nothing wrong with the phone. Its annoying because the video is unwatchable, you can't even make out faces.
the worst part is my iphone 4 did a better job. so far though thats the only thing the iphone was better at.
Im not worried about the bandwidth, I'm on the rogers 6gb promotional plan.
currently the best way i can come up with to share a video is with dropbox. specially considering they just rewarded me with an extra 50gb of storage for free.
heres a pick of the cam app when im taking a video for mms. Im not looking for 720p or anything but a step up from this would make a world of difference.
thats 176x144

It would be nice if I could just edit a file somewhere that would set the mms video size to at least double what it is now.

I have noticed when I am in the video recorder and switch to 1920x1080 resolution I notice the video zooms in to around 2x and says "zooming is not allowed in full HD" when I try to zoom out. This causes the recorded video to look like crap and noticeably lower quality than the 720p videos I record, especially on a pc..
Does anyone know why this is, if anyone else is having the same problem and if there is any way to fix it?
I can confirm I see the same thing.

Same here!
I got some good results with my videos, but only when i wasn't trying to shoot something up close.
I am really disappointed 1080p was one of the big things I was looking forward to with the GS2 and now I find that it's a lower quality video than the 720p... Hopefully someone has a fix or this is an issue Samsung is working on.
On my old iphone, HD videos recorded with the phone would be automatically compressed to be sent via text message.
On my Note 2 I can't seem to send ANY videos with the messaging app. I always get a size warning when attaching a video.
Does anyone know of a way to compress videos to send over mms? I do not want to record the videos in a lower quality resolution as this ruins the video for myself.
Does nobody send videos over mms?!
Maybe handcent or gosms would do this.

Try Vidcon from the play store. It's sort of like Handbrake for android, but much easier to use. Vidcon not only allows you to compress a previously recorded Hd vid but you can also change the format, among other things.
I also didn't want to record low quality vids on the chance that I might at some future point want to send it as mms. It is not free but the demo allows full functionally for 4 to 5 days. So you can see if it meets your needs. Hope this helps, and welcome to the android club.. ..

I think for now I will upload my videos to YouTube and send links to friends and family. Honestly it is a bummer to see that auto compression of mms videos isn't on my Note II.
My SGH-M919 is really odd when it comes to recording videos.
Pictures are okay, but video quality is a bit terrible.
When I record a video, it takes a while for it to begin recording...normal, I've seen this happen on other Android devices.
As I'm recording, the video looks okay, no choppiness, yet.
When the recording stops and the playback starts.. the video looks pixelated.
The only time the video looks high quality is when the camera is still.. as soon as the camera moves.. it becomes pixelated.. but, then as the camera is settled.. it forms back into a high quality video.. move it again.. pixelated.
I have the video settings set on 'Standard,' as opposed to 'Low' on Snapchat, but that does not help.
Does anyone know what's going on? Should I enable/disable anything in the developer options? I've noticed this on Snapchats received by other Android users in my contact list, but iOS 4.x.x+ devices are all clear.
Any help/troubleshoot is appreciated!
If y'all need a video, lemme know and I'll try to send one.
Same here, iOS users are always clear, Android is the same as your issue and the same with me.. I would like to have this fixed as well!!

That's what I had thought lol, I hope snapchat improves in quality for Android devices

When you make a slow-mo video, the google software lets you choose which part of the video plays in slow motion.
When the same edited video gets uploaded or shared, the entire video is in slow motion, not just the part you choose.
How do you export the video as edited?
I'm also seeing the same issue here.. It's quite annoying as Google Photos Web doesn't include a tool to edit slow-mo video at all.

Hey guys, same here.
I've tested powerdirector in which you can set different speed for your videos and that seem to do the trick. The videos imported will be all slow motion but if you speed it up to 4X, it'll be at actual speed. You can then set different point on your video to modify speed at will.

+1 thanks for pointing out Powerdirector. Works pretty well and worth the $4.95 price for full version (HD and no watermark)

I've just realized i can't have the whole video when adding a slow mo video to the timeline, it don't put the full length. Other videos work fine.
Does it work for you ?
Not sure what you mean. Can you explain in more detail?
Hihi yes.
When you start a project, you add videos from your phone to the timeline of the app.
When I chose a regular video, no problem, it displays in its whole length on the timeline but when I chose a slo mo video that should last like 60s, I only see the first 20s.
And so I can only edit those 20s and export.
Bump
What is the point of the editing if there's no way to save it?

You can export it. I think there's just a bug and it's not fully compatible yet with the slo mo vids.
Might be just me not knowing how to use properly the app too
Hey guys. I am taking pictures and video at 60FPS with this camera and they are awesome but I've noticed sending them through text destroys the quality and was wondering if anyone else was having this problem? Also Facebook as well I upload a video in HD and it the quality comes out horrible (yes I have the setting on in Facebook to upload in HD). Is there a known issue with this and does anyone know a work around, if so? Thanks in advance!
Texting videos always makes it very low quality. Facebook is only a little better even when HD is checked. You can post to youtube in 4k and share the link in facebook.
Edit: And it supports 60fps.

See that's what's weird, I know it supports it but I tried uploading the video I took in 1080p 60FPS and if comes out in crap quality. I just don't get it... Used to take 4k videos with my Samsung and never had this issue

Here is a sample I just recorded on my XL. Sent it unedited straight to youtube. How does it compare?

Seems ok to me.
oops. Just noticed it is only showing in 720p in you tube but the video manager in youtube plays it in 1080p.

That looks grainy to me... When I watch the video I upload on my device it plays great... The quality others see is not what I take...

It is in lowish light quality. Like I said completely unedited. It shows at 1080p after reloading the player. I guess it takes time for youtube to process. In what way is your video bad?

I think I understand what you are saying. Unfortunately I was shooting on a very grainy textured wall. Try saving the video to a computer first and then upload it. Just in case the built in uploader is processing it before sending. Will have to check and see what is doing it. You can also try copying a good 4k video and sending it to see if it knows where it is coming from and trying to convert it. I did notice the quality improved over time as youtube seems to do some background conversion. As far as the difference from your samsung device you can compare by sending a video from the pixel that you shot on your samsung.
Interesting to see if something changes. I use to use a special app for sending HD pivtures and videos to Facebook that worked very well. Check the Play Store

I found a article saying the max upload size on mobile is 2 gigs while using a browser it is 20 gigs. Try uploading from a computer.

Your welcome. I understand about Facebook. Was never happy with the picture or video quality. I think they are being to cheap on server space to host them. I recommend uploading somewhere else and just sharing the link. Facebook's link support is pretty good anyways. Since you have a Pixel phone you have unlimited picture and video backup at full quality anyways.
