Running a totally stock OGP (for now). Whenever I go into video mode and shoot a video and stop it, then a few seconds/minutes later shoot a second video (such as at one of the kids sports games), the second video is automatically attached to the first video, as one long run-on video. I'd like to be able to shoot and possibly delete separate videos but it comes out as one long file.
I've looked throughout the setting but cannot find any settings that allow distinct, separate videos. Am I missing something? How do I get the phone to make separate files for each time I ask it to video?
I think you are hitting pause and not stop. Pause is 2 bars. Stop is the square... This question also goes in q&a...

I hate to admit this is writing, but I am a dumbass!!! Duh, you are correct. I was hitting pause, not stop. I thought the lower button was for taking stills while videoing. I was mistaken on that as well. The lower one is stop and the upper one is for taking stills.
Now, how about this...when I "stop" shooting a video, it comes out of video mode and leaves me back in still photography mode. Is there some way to make it stay in video mode, when I stop shooting a video? Also, does "auto review" do anything in video mode? It works as expected in photo mode...

Is there any known way to disable autofocus in 'camcorder' mode & force it to focus to 'infinity' instead?
I was chasing a funnel cloud that was developing into a real tornado on Friday evening, but the moment I got off the freeway & was in traffic, the autofocus went berserk due to brake lights, and the best part of the video ended up being almost unwatchable because the autofocus kept screwing it up.
Also, are all the video modes 30fps, or is there any way to force 720p60, 540p60, or 480p60? I'm 99% sure the hardware is physically *capable* of it, even if the stupid camera app itself was dumbed down.
Finally, is there any camcorder app that can keep running in the background, so I can pull up a radar app like PYKL3 without terminating the video recording?

good question. i am actually looking for a solution to my problem. i can't manually focus the camera. it seems like the autofocus is stuck and wouldn't want to focus on close up objects. i'm running this rom by the way
Hello
i need your help. I don't have any idea any more what could cause for this problem. Everytime that someone send from his iphone via whatsapp, a video or a photo that was taken from the iphone, the device turn upside down the picture or the video! I don't know why it keep happans! I have tried omega and ARHD - 4.1.2 and 4.1.1 and the both have the problem! but the problem happans only when i get a video or a picture from the iphone. If sgs3 or nexus send me a video or a picture, i get it correctly. If you have an iphone, try to take a video in a vertical position and send it to your phone via whats up. Take a look at the picture. This video used to be vertical on the iphone, but when i recieved that, the device turned it.

Any ideas?
Thaks!

I can't tell whether the screen shot you have provided is the right way up or not.
But is it completely upside down as in 180degrees or just 90degrees rotated?
Maybe because video players treat the longest side as the top. And with portrait mode videos, the video would have its longest side on the vertical, so our phones think that's the up side up.

When it is taken in vertical mode i get it 90degrees rotated, but when the video is taken in horizontal mode, i get it correctly with no problem.
I have tried to take a video i vertical & horizontal in the HTC desire and send to me, and there was no problem.
I have tried to install stock 4.1.1 without root or something and there is still the problem.
It seems the problem is between iOS and Android...
Update:
It was fixed in the new whats app version of iphone(as usual iphone problems)
Is anyone haveing the problem where you open the camera app and it lags big time? It lags in both camera and video. Then when i do take a video it's choppy and bad quality. Also, if you hit the video button is it stopped to start recording right away or should it flip over to video like other Samsung devices do? Mine starts recording right away.

Yes, I too see the lag.

I only notice the lag on the phone, but also sometime in Chrome when I'm on this site. Is your lag bad enough where you can't even take a good video?
yes, it lags to the point that I think my phone locks-up.
I read somewhere where someone said that if you disable your SD card, the issue goes away. Try it, unmount your SD card.

I don't know it just started working again. But if it happens again I'll try to unmount the SD card. Do you know how to get to the video settings? Does the video automatically record in 4K? That will take up a lot of space.
yes, i think by default it is at 4k video. 16 megs when you click on setting while under camera.

Yes, I've noticed that as well on mine. To a point, where the phone almost stop responding when camera is on. I don't think it's hardware related at all, I could be wrong, I'm thinking more like a bug in the software. One easy way to get out the lag for me is to press the power button to turn of screen then turn back on, while on lock screen, swipe up the camera widget. That got rid of the overall lag and lockup for me. I know it will come back soon or later, just don't know what trigger it.
Do you guys get lag from the front camera? When you move, it's not in perfect sync. It also seems to give you a Jay Leno chin.
So I made a cool discovery. If you want the stock youtube app to play with screen off, answering a phone call with the popup panel while youtube is playing, then letting the screen turn off by auto sensor (not by manual turn off but by putting the phone to your face), then letting the other party end the call, will resume youtube with the sound playing in the background with screen off when the call ends. screen off youtube is something long coveted by youtubers, but will now get your 3rd party app pulled from the market. so to find this trick to do it on the stock youtube app was pretty funny imo. AUCU2COC6 is the firmware version I'm running. not rooted, stock everything, so SHOULD work for you.
there's possibly better ways to trigger it without calling yourself from a second phone lol, but yeah if you ever wanted to listen to youtube without figuring out a way to pocket your phone without the screen messing up, now ya know.
Or download ogtube. Version 0.9 seems the best.
Hi All,
1st time on here. Puzzled to this problem, struggling for a solution.
When recording video under water (under 1m) and its great, however when the phone exits the water, the video automatically stops recording.
Is there a way round this? I'm stumped on this.
Any help would be great, thank you
The phone doesn't have this functionality built in, it shouldn't happen.
Have you tried rebooting it?

Hi. Its a common problem when your using a phone in water. The touchscreen goes crazy due to the water. There are a few solutions to this.
1. The method i use. I have turned on volume buttons for clicking pics or video recording in camera settings. after doing that i installed touch lock. it basically locks your touch screen so that the water does not make certain parts of your screen get pressed and stop the recording. so start recording using volume buttons and then lock the touchscreen. ur recording wont stop.
2. download a spycam software like scos that can record videos when screen is off or make it take pics in interval. turn it oon and turn of screen.
3. Thr are apps made for underwater recording. but the good ones have only picture taking ability. some of the others arent that great while taking pics.
i had this issue with my a7. it would be fine for first 10 mins. but after that when i start recording n go underwater it would stop. i tried all 3 and im most comfortable with 1st one as i prefer using the stock camera app.
