[Q] Snapchat Video Recording Failed - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

There has been a snapchat issue for a long time.
The rear camera gives the toast "Video Reording Failed" whenever I attempt to take a video.
The front camera records video perfectly fine though...
I tested this on Gingerbread and ICS, it works on both.
I tested on jellybean (AOSP and TW) and it doesn't work
So I thought this may be an issue for just my device.
When I got my replacement phone, I immediately installed snapchat and saw that video recording failed on my new device as well (it was running stock TW JB)
But when I downgrade to ICS and GB, it works perfectly fine....
Does anyone have a clue about wtheck is going on? Does jellybean not have a certain patch for our device?
I'm not the only one experiencing this. There's many other reviews on Google Play for this device that say the same thing.
Thanks :laugh:

Not sure if you guys have figured out the problem yet but I have. I have found an older version of snap chat that works perfectly for our t989 phones, video recording works like a charm. Download the older version of the app here http://www.mediafire.com/?7py7jfbf809avey

I read somewhere that was a JB problem and the only way to solve this was to get back on ICS or put a older version of Snapchat! Your best bet is probably @iTz KeeFy link

Yea I'm currently running Kit Kat and the video recording still doesn't work for me, having to use the older version.

Ever since one of the Snapchat updates I have been unable to use the rear camera for video as well, since flashing CM 11 the front camera will record but only after a 10 second pause!

Thanks!
Downloading the older version of snapchat worked flawlessly. I can finally record videos!

Can someone on ICS or gingerbread give me a logcat of them recording rear camera video on Snapchat?

i found a fix and it works for me with liquid smooth rom. u just have to change the video camera quality from 720p to 480p by going to camera, video , video settings...

[Q] Just to Clear up about the whole Green Lens Whackadoo...

My sister (might) wanna install MIUI on her Motorola Defy. But if the camera doesn't work, it's a no-go. When we rooted her phone, suddenly the camera started acting weird, like it wouldn't show what the camera was pointed at (completely black screen, but it was capable of capturing the pictures anyway ) . And the video recording didn't work either. It didn't actually record video, but the audio was there. This was on the shipped, stock froyo rom.
If she installed MIUI on her phone, would the before-mentioned problems still be present? She doesn't care about not being able to capture 720p video,the only thing that matters to her is that it works.
A reply would be greatly appreciated.
Hiya christian iv got the green lens on standard froyo rom and my camera and video works great, have u tried wiping data and cache? Iv not tried miui rom but id like to no if people are having problems with camera or video on custom roms??
sent by my motorola defy xda app
Miui based ROM wajkiui has great camera. Video recording also works perfectly, at 848*480 CM7 recently has been giving me problems with video recording, so I've switched to wajkiui.
Last time I saw miui official thread, there seemed to be a few bugs in it. Read the thread if you want miui only and not wajkiui...

Just goto stock recovery n clear the cache...
Or use cust recovery to clear it...
Clearing the cache should fix it...

[Q] Camera FC's when attempting to recprd video

I am running Lupus v8 on a unlocked R80at. Was pretty happy with this kernel until I went to take some photos/videos for my 4 year old duaghters birthday. Taking photos was fine however soon as I attempted to record video it locked up and then force closed. If I recall ages ago I thought this was a common issue with this kernel, however I also was under the impression that this eas resolved. I am not using the stock camera app. I am running ICS+ camera app. I know camera related issues are or can be kernel related. I asked this question on the Lupus v8 thread but no reply and its been a couple days so I thought i would simply make a thread to keep the Lupus thread free of questions.
Any ideas? I have wiped the data on the camera+ app and again same results.
Edit - Noticed after wiping the data on the camera app and retesting it repeats itself however this time the phone locks up and I had to pull the battery.

Are you using 480p version of that kernel? If yes, problem is solved. You must just install 720p version. I had this problem too but after install 720p version everything was fine.
Sorry for my bad english

Yes I am running the 480p version as I wanted to keep as much ram as possible, but if you say the 720p doesnt have this issue then I guess I will flash the 720p and report back.
Just a side note, anyone have any idea why the 480p version would have this issue while 720p does not, and I am sure its been asked but why the dev has not resolved the issue in 480p....?
720p fixed the issue but it looks like it eats up a lot of ram, does anyone know how much ram difference there is between the 480p and 720p versions? It looks to me like 30mb.....
On 480 hd recording not working. You need to change to SD and should work fine.
Had similar problem. Forget obout it and tried to record my daughter school show. Got camera recording settings as hd. Phone freeze but quickly removed battery, turned on and changed to sd and manage to record few last seconds of her show

Just so I understand, you used the 480 kernel but set the video to standard video recording and it worked? If thats the case I will go back to 480p Lupus and see if it works as I prefer to have extra ram.
Also where did you go to change the HD settings I dont recall seeing it in the settings, of course I am on camera+ ics
Yes I'm using Lupus GB 480p. And camera recording working fine on low quality.
But unfortunate low quality is rubbish but I don't use recording very often so that's ok with me.

I dont do a lot of video recording myself, noticed that on Camera ICS+ there is no options to adjust recording video quality, perrhaps I will have to decide between using 720p kernel and Camera ICS+ or stock camera app with 420p...... hmmm....I know I already asked this but does anyone know what the ram difference is between 420p and 720p kernels of Lupus? Or if not is there a way I can look for myself? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Snapchat Video Recording/Playback Error

I'm using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 on CM11 with TWRP. I cannot seem to get video recording or playback (although I am not very sure about video playback, I've only received pictures in the past while) to work. With an older version of Snapchat, video recording appears to work but then right before I am about to send the video, a message pops up and says that it cannot play the video. Is this related to "Camcorder does not actually record to storage" in the TeamChopsticks "Known Issues That Will Be Fixed"? If not, is there a way that I can fix this?

I've been having this problem with all jellybean ROMs, including stock.
I'm with ya, most likely a Jellybean problem. So if you absolutely need it, maybe revert to an ICS rom or go to stock.

I can record at 1080p, I can watch what i filmed, and my gallery dosent FC and reboot phone. I am on UB4.0final, but that camera had issues so I did some research and tested stuff out and now I have what I have...LOL.

the only fix I've found is to use an older version of snapchat , but you unfortunately lose many of the newer features
You wouldn't happen to have an older version would you
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
working version
I have had these problems too, I find that the version that works is SnapChat 3.07, lets you use front and rear cam for pics and video with no issues.
I just googled for the APK
Im running CM 11 nightlies. I think it's something to do with video framework. I have similar problems with the Tiny Chat app.
I tried googling but couldn't find it could you pm me a link

4.4 Camera Issues *HELP*

Hello and thanks for your time! I have the SGH-I317 and I am having problems with my camera when I flash a AOSP ROM. The 4.4 KitKat camera is not working for me, but when I flash back to a TouchWiz ROM everything is fine. Here are the apps and the problems associated with them:
-SnapChat: Taking pictures works fine, but when recording video it will only record a second or two
-Instagram: Pictures are fine, but the video is distorted and zoomed in
-Vine: The app doesn't even recognize that i have a video camera
-When trying to take a video to attach to a mms message it give me this: (SEE ATTACHED) (I've tried Hangouts and the stock messaging)
And the crazy thing is, when i open the video camera through the camera app, it works fine.
ALSO, When any app that needs access to the camera/video camera is open, there is a horrible screeching sound that comes out of the headset speaker, I will record a video so you can hear what I am talking about. Also notice how the video is fine besides the screeching when opening through the camera app.

@bbasketballer75
Wrong section sir.
You need to delete this and post in questions and answers thread. This section is for developers to post roms..NOT for questions
Thanks
Also..its a known bug for those apps for 4.4 roms. No fix right now.

Yes, the sure, simple solution is to use a stock rom. 100% compatible with those time bandit apps.
THis is exactly why I am on a 4.3 ROM (Ditto Note) most of the time. The stock camera in the kitkat roms doesn't work smoothly for me.

If only that were a solution for me. (using an older custom rom)
I seem to have this issue on any rom BESIDES the stock rom. Its buggy across the mentioned apps, and it never works on the MMS "capture video" setting. This isn't a big deal as it only aggravates my OCD, but my bank recently installed some photo detection software on their mobile app and I can no longer deposit checks due to the buggy nature of the camera.
If you, or anyone else here knows of a rom that is FULLY compatible with the GN2 camera, can you please post it here? Im willing to go back in time.
I wish that developers would fully work out the bugs in X.3 before moving on to X.4, but i appreciate their hard work.

Snapchat back camera

I did a fair amount of research but couldnt find any answers for this phone specifically, ( tmobile hercules )
Installed latest nightly of cyanogenmod
I've changed my codecs / video quality only, in all combinations
The back camera and GPS are the only thing not working on my phone.
I want to solve the camera problem first.
Any more information needed? Ask. Thanks.
It's a known issue with this phone. You have to install an older version of snap chat in order to use the rear camera recording feature. You can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590031
