[Q] Phone's camera stops recording after 10 minutes.

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my xperia play when trying to record conferences.
My camera stops after 10 minutes of recording everytime, it even shows the timer backwards when it's the last minute, I was wondering if there is any way to lift this limitation.
I'm currently using the default camera application that comes with 2.3.4 North America generic ROM.
I got a 12GB memory card with around 3.2GB free and the video files take up to 400mb per 10 minutes, so the space shouldn't be a problem here.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Maybe your phones is going to sleep?
Have you tried disabling sleep timeout?

Hmm I wasn't aware that the phone had a sleep option, I can't seem to find it. Only time outs I could find if the screen display which is set to 30 seconds, so I guess that's not it.
Where can I find the options to disable the phone from sleeping?
Thanks.

Actually thats probably what I was thinking.
One thing you could try, when it gets close to 10 minutes, push a button on your phone, nothing to make it stop recording, maybe the settings button, just something to make sure it isn't a problem like this.

I did that and the phone responded perfectly, even changed some options while recording but it still stops at 10 minutes. The strange thing is when it gets to minute nine the counter changes backwards to count 1 minute in red numbers then it stops recording.

Maybe try a different phone app?

Thanks. It works, now just have to monitor on the battery life.
Btw, would like to ask on the notification icon, is it possible to set it to show only when the "smart stay function" is activated during looking at screen?

Nothing happens on my one!!!!

Haha. You have to stare really really hard at the front camera. I kid
What's your screen off time? If you set it to the lowest for the screen to turn off after 15 sec, it might not work since the free version of the app detects your face every 20sec by default.
Get the paid version and you can set face detect time and scan time
it works quite well I must say

As @samuelong87 mention buy Premium version so that you can customize the time. It works perfectly at my side.

Smart Stay would be a nice feature to have but I would like to think that the app would somehow drain lots of battery.. abusing the front camera every half a minute or so would somehow have an impact I'm sure.
I wonder if the S3 would have enhanced battery life if they disabled the Smart Stay option.

i am wonder the same thing.
but i just purchased it and i will test
this is not interfering in any way to the auto brightness settings in in display as far as i can see.
it would be more than interesting to have an option to auto power off display after no face detecting (with customizable timing of course)
regards

Oh got it..thnx

Well, first impression on this app is that it's not really battery friendly, but it does what it is supposed to do very well. Maybe next releases will be better from this point of view.

This app appears not working when device is on horizontal position

It works here when I'm switching to landscape mode, maybe you're blocking the front camera with your finger a little bit ?

ISeeYou Causing Issues On My HOX
I have the HOX International. I used this app, and though it's a great concept, I was left largely dissatisfied by it.
While it works as advertised, I'm peeved with a couple of issues:
1) It blocks BOTH the front and back cameras. Try accessing the camera app while the service is ON and you only get a black screen.
2) It seems to hog battery occasionally (although this happens rarely).
3) I had the service to autostart, and received the shock of my life when around 1 hour into my day, I found that the rear camera was heating up. This might be a direct consequence of point 1 above.
I am on Stock and have the latest firmware update.
I don't know if any of you are facing these issues, but I've uninstalled the app ever since I started facing it.
Just a friendly heads up!

The camera works well here! But, when I launched it from lock screen, it was blank. After unlocking properly with the secure path I use, both front and back cameras worked! (Newest wwe firmware.)
BUT: it DOES brake Face Unlock! I already sent a bug report e-mail to the dev

Used to work ok,then stoped without reason and I got blank screen with stock and other camera app(FV 5 and ics+).Unistalled it,but still had to reboot phone to get camera working properly.Installed it again,it works now,stock camera is working as well as FV5,with ics + , it gets FC sometimes...very nice idea,needs some polishing.

I had haven't any problem as you wrote.
And also battery brain is normal from the moment front camera open for checking every 20". But no something special.
Anyway I think we dont need so match this future. At smartphones screen is so small, so when you read anything you need to scroll down. It's meaning if you touch the screen will continue to stay wakeup. I would like to have something like that in my iPad.

I can't get this working

Why are youtube vids soo slow?

I am finding youtube videos so slow slow to start and continuously stopping to download the file, I never had issues like this with my desire HD or HD2. Although the screen is so superior on the one X it is completely spoiling the experience having to wait for 10-15 seconds to wait for the video to begin and the to have the video pausing every 5 secs. IS this an issue with the phone or the wifi connection I am using. I have unchecked the high quality on mobile in settings but to no avail. Any help appreciated

stock android 4.0.3

I have the exact same problem, latest officiall update: stock 4.0.4 with sense 4.1
Youtub constanstly keeps stopping and I have to wait for download
It is not related to my internetconnection
I had the same problem on previous SW version as well....
The phone is not rooted

Just checked, it's fine here, buffering at over double real time speed, on a hd video. 1.29.708.15.

To be honest, the phone doesnt make that much different to the speed of a loading video.
Make sure its using WiFi and not data to load the video.
Also make sure a computer/laptop doesnt do it.
If it does then your WiFi needs to be quicker

if you do do this test, do it on wifi, in the same place you would normally do it on your phone. don't cheat by plugging in the cable.

Yes...
I didn't mean put your laptop by your router, and run down the road with your phone?
Haha

Stock 1.29 and YouTube works perfect when I am on 3.2mbps speed WiFi and it buffers when I am slow net. It is depends on WiFi .

lol, not to say that this applies to the OP, but some people do need very very very specific instructions, i bet you 98% of people would do just the above lol.

I believe yours is an isolated problem. My friends' and mine are perfect; plays INSTANTLY, videos are crisp, and continue to be so all the way. This is over WiFi, and I play mostly 1080p or 720p when available.
So, check your hotspot...maybe you have a free-loader in your hood

Mine plays totally fine 8Mbps down, with ARHD 9.3.1.
Only thing i've found with it since i got my HOX, was the constant stuttering on sound. Stopped using it now as its annoying,

It depends on the video IME. Even on my hardwired desktop with a 60meg connection, youtube often pauses to buffer.

Do you have any of these problems on your OP3?

Hello, everyone. I got my OnePlus 3 2 weeks ago. I've been having a couple of problems with it and I wanna know if any of you has the same problems. First of all, the phone is a good phone and I like it but these problems are bothering me greatly and that's why I asked for a replacement instead of a return.
The first problem was when I went on this great trip. I took like 30 pictures. My brother asked me to send him the pictures of the trip. I used Android beam to do so. While the pics were being sent, I cancelled the process because I had to leave. Guess what happened? I lost all the pictures that were being beamed. At first, I thought this was a problem with Android beam itself, but I tried Android beam with other phones, and the pictures didn't get deleted. I tried it again on my OP3, and the pics just disappeared. They disappear if you cancel the process of beaming. Can you please verify if you have this problem?
The second problem is navigation. It's very inaccurate and it got me lost multiple times. Do you have this problem?
The third problem is in YouTube. Some vids on YouTube only play in 480p even though they play up to 2k on other phones. (I know op3 only supports 1080p but I still don't get this option. My internet connection isn't the problem because it's super fast)
The phone is super fast but it's kinda stuttery and not smooth sometimes.
Also, battery life after the latest update, 3.2.1, has been really bad. It drains so fast.
Do you have any of these problems?
Thank you.

Guys, please try Android beam. Please tell me if you have the same problem or not.

Well for starters, have you messed with the phone? As in unlocked, rooted, flashed anything etc?
I'm on 3.2.1 also and my YouTube app allows me to view videos at 1080p, though it won't let me access the higher FPS videos like my OnePlus One would.
Battery life is actually pretty good considering the specs and the 3000mah battery.
No stuttering to report... The thought of it never even crossed my since I bought the OP3, it's so fast!
Yes, the GPS performance actually sucks, I don't know of OnePlus is aware are trying to fix it, but it does suck, I've had issues using Uber, Lyft, and Pokémon Go, haven't driven around or used Google Maps much yet.
I always do a fresh install of the OS whenever a new update is available, or just fresh install the updated factory image, because I root, flash other things, and change things, and I want to avoid issue, so avoid dirty flashing.

I use GPS a lot for riding my bike and Pokemon Go running, but I had no issues. But I use a custom Rom and kernel.

I use stock rom (3.2.1 with unlock bootloader and root) and use Waze every day to work. Not a single issue. Fix in 2/3 sec and never lost position. Battery life is normal, not brilliant. 04.30h SOT. Not bad. Android Bean didnt ever used. Dont need it. Youtube able to view videos in 1080 with no porblem. And the smartphone is fast and smooth. Try a factory reset to see if problem are solved

I'm not rooted and I've never missed with the phone. The YouTube problem appears with some videos only, not all of them. Battery life used to be pretty good before the latest update but the latest update made it worse. The performance problem appears clearly on Snapchat. It's very laggy on Snapchat and when recording Snapchat videos, the videos kinda stutter.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

Hello, the problem arrived when you watching 60 fps movies ..
1080p/60 fps -> 480p on OP3
No problem with 30 fps movies
1080p/30 fps -> 1080p on OP3
I have same issue and I'm boring !

Had the problem with do not disturb being turned on .I had not touched the Alert Slider.Also sometimes gestures would work while my phone was in pocket(double swipe to turn on music for example.) .

A few questions about the user experience

Just got this monster today and am confused by a few things
1. Why does the screen randomly flicker in brightness even when auto/adaptive is off. Also unchecked the enhance in sun light mode. Anyone else have this??
2. The option to shoot 40mp photos randomly disappears and I'm left with 10 as my max resolution.
3. Is there a way to have hdr remain as a constant?
4. I have EVR-L29 and both YouTube and Netflix appear to be only working on a very low resolution. Any ideas? I even confired widevine was L1.
