XL2 Overheating when using the camera to record video? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Got a notification on the phone while I was recording some video around the 10 minute marker. I did not have any signal barely one bar (thanks Verizon!) and was recording some video and the phone started getting hot, very hot! Then I got a notification that some features would be turned off until it cooled down. I stopped recording and let it cool down, but yet another issue with this phone?

Do you have mobile video backup enabled for Photos?

This is very typical. Once you go about 10 minutes recording a video most phones and even some point-shoot cameras will stop with an overheating message.
You can lower your recording quality to extend the time but typically, if there is a lot going on in the video and the phone has to compress and stabilize you might not get further than 30 min.

[Q] 1080p video recording inconsistencies

Hola everyone.
So got my HOX last Friday, and been loving my phone. However, I decided to test the video recording capabilities.
I went to a nearby starbucks and just randomly recorded people passing by and I do notice slight jittering sometimes. So I decided to check the framerate with MX Player.
To my surprise, it says 1920x1080 @ 60fps! (well 59.xxxxx). Granted, it was a really well lit starbucks but even then.. I remember the camera only being able to record at 30fps?
Then I came back, and I'm in my room now and it's 7.30pm. So I decided to try again. I pointed my camera at my room light and started recording. I focused on the light so everything surrounding the light is just pitch black. This way I can get higher fps (light is way bright, hence faster shutter speed, theoretically more fps).
Then I checked and it shows @ 30fps? @[email protected]
I recorded another video, this time at a pitch black pc monitor. Fps dropped to an expected 14.xx fps.
Is the HOX camera really capable of recording [email protected] if it's bright enough? I don't know but that's what the file properties is telling me. Anyone experience the inconsistent to sometimes record at 30fps and sometimes at 60fps?
No one has experienced this? >.<
nope
i see min 6mbps, max10mbps and fps between 19 (yes, even in daylight!) and 29
in the evening (lowlight outside) i get 14 fps
the quality is really good though (lighting and noise wise) but the bitrate sucks.
fps is a tradeoff with exposure though in lowlight.
Hmm, then I'm not sure why I see some of my recorded videos showing at 60fps. Will record more in daylight tomorrow and will do more analysis.
That's maybe a tegra3 issue. Tegra2 has the same issue. Let's see AT&T version with Krait processor...
I can vouch for this, I also saw it on a couple of videos and I was just as surprised, I assumed it was a software glitch.
Will try to take a picture of it if stumble upon it again.
I've never been able to reproduce 60fps again after I created this thread... >.<

Do you still have a 60 fps video? Can you upload one?
Could it be possible that you accidentally recorded a slowmo 60 fps video instead of a normal one?
i think only the htc video player will play these in slowmo and others might call it 60 fps vids,
also bs player showed me two movies at a ridiculous frame rate of 1800+ fps hence why it could not use the svp plugin on it to double the frame rate...
of course that mp classic showed it as 24 fps and was capable of using the svp on it.
could be a video analasys glitch by mx player.
and yet video is jittery on the hox. on aosp too.
the overall video is smooth but with little stutters.

[Q] autofocus problem on one x

Hi all, had my one x now for about a week, coming from the iphone 4...
the problem i have is that when im recording video in either 720p or 1080p it is sharp for a couple of seconds then the autofocus keeps cutting in and it goes blurry for a second or 2 till it refocusess then it goes back to normal... really anoying, its killing my videos !!!
so does anyone else have this problem or is my phone knackered ?
My does it only in 1080p so i stay in 720. Hope the update Will fix the problem.

Only if you have many things in the video that are at different focus lengths. If you're recording a face it should stay at the same focus length.

I have the same issue, realy annoying! Makes useless videos that way...
Mine is doing it on both 1080 and 720 resolutions. Initially i thought it was too much going on in a picture, however this doesnt seem to be the case. Focusing on an object a metre away is causing it issues. Camera focusing however is fine. Definitely a software bug. Lets hope 1.27 when it comes out is magical
Despite its "quirks" I bloody love this phone!
I think ive found a temp fix... well untill we get a software update that fixes it for good...
any way launch the camera app then go to settings and scroll down to video options and disable video stabilization... seems alot better for me after i did this !!!
hope this helps people...thanks

[Q] Stutter, lag, choppy 4k video recording on LG G3

One of the reasons why I bought this phone was for the 4K recording. I have severe stuttering when recording 4k clips with the 5 min cap. This is very annoying. Furthermore, the phone heats up like a bastard, so much so that it almost feels too hot to touch, like it may explode or just melt.
I have the international unlocked version and I am in the UK. In the past 2 months, I have received 2 software updates for power management but that has not helped at all, battery is terrible. When you record 4k, it drops like a ***** almost 10 percent every minute and continues to go down while the phone tries to come back to normal temps.
I have changed the runtime to ART and back to give it a try and its no better. Also did this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365/page31
With the hidden menus but its not really giving me a boost in processing power and better temperatures. I have searched for a few days now and cannot find anyone with similar issues and I have seen a lot of issues, so starting a thread here.
Please help!
I think the heating while recording a 4k video is a common issue. On my G3,the CPU reachs 67-70°C,hotter than when playing Asphalt 8 and this causes a big battery drain.
For the first question,in poor words the 4k-recorded videos have some lags?
Inviato dal mio Lg G3 con tapataaalk
Thanks for replying. The issue is not recorded video, it's pretty choppy "while" recording 4k. It's choppy playing back the same videos too and consistent to the stutters experienced while recording. The playback stutters at the same place where recording stuttered if that makes sense. I don't think there is an issue with playback but recording.
I am not sure why this happens as it didn't seem to happen when I bought the phone, can it be the software updates for power optimization to blame?
yup i've seen the stutter on playback but only when i play the 4k videos on my laptop.
but on default player in g3 phone, there is none.
in my experience, choppiness when recording vids was due to slow microsd.
i always try to set the recorded vids to internal sd after that.
When my class-10 micro sd arrives,i'll try 4k recording and see if there's struttering...and compare the videos with the other ones made with a class-4 micro sd
Inviato dal mio Lg G3 con tapataaalk
Yeah.. They didn't add the 5 minute cap for the beauty of it. The phone will heat the crap up with 4K.
I don't have issues with stuttering, though I use a class 10 sdcard
------------------
Hey, small add here. I took the phone off the wireless charger (had 100%) and started recording a 4K video. Phone got lukewarm (like browsing on facebook for a long time on 4G). Battery went from 100% to.. well, 100%. But 100% is a bit tough to break, but it when it shows 99%, it's a straight drop from there. No stuttering at all too.
Class 4 is not enough. Class 10 may not be enough either. If you want to record 4k directly to MicroSD, you better buy those "extreme" memorycards. They cost more but trust me, even Class 10 may not be enough.
Oh and by the way, rebooting the device every once and a while is highly recommended.

Highly recommend Samsung Class10 64Gb Pro UHS-I MB-MG64DA/AM, they easily can write up to 80Mb/sec on USB 3.0 cardreader, trust me I checked myself

yeah, truly so, there may be tons of zombie processes, doing stuff in background and messing with SoC, distracting it from encoding process thus causing stutters
Oh trust me guys u have tried rebooting every 5 mins to see if there were no issues. Did factory reset too and it was slightly better. Maybe there were indeed some zombie processes to blame here and I think the sd cards are also n issue. I have now gotten rid of the phone. Too buggy and not optimised. I am now waiting my nexus 6. I hope the camera is at least as good as LG. On my previous nexus devices the camera has been pants.
Nexus 6 and 4k movie
Nexus 6 just can not handle it. I posted a 4K to Facebook and it ended up as junk. I then immediately deleted it. Set Nexus 6 to HD 1080p and forget about the future of 4k in Nexus 6 for now.
GTMoraes: Hi, saw your comment about wishing your G3 had a lower 1080p resolution. Wish I could remember exactly where on these forums, but someone had a couple of lines you can enter in terminal to specify the resolution you prefer for the screen. He said it made the screen faster and the power draw less than the 1440p it's on now. I knew I should have written it down.

You are thinking of the wm command.
I just saw it on xda TV

Examples of some videos on OP7T

I got this phone hoping that the quality of my concert recordings would look better than the aging nexus 5x I had. I did a couple recordings last night. Ill update it later as soon as the other two videos update. Couple things happened. During the first show it was brighter in the room and it looked better. I accidentally swiped on the phone and it ended the recording. That was frustrating when it happened and the first bands recording got cut in half. I tried using the shake free mode or whatever it was called on the first band to try to save battery. The second band got on stage and I switched it to the 4k mode. I paid no attention to the warning that popped up when i started recording. The video ended after five minutes and I wondered what the heck happened. I started recording again and noticed the warning that 4k only records 5 minutes at a time. After that I switched over to the hd stable mode. The show was quite a bit darker and the video quality was not the best. Audio was fine on all the recordings though.
So I went home and uploaded the videos... first thing I noticed was the 4k video was sideways... I held the phone the way I was supposed to... I have no idea why it recorded sideways. Thats a little annoying because i dont have the tools to fix it.

Pixel 2XL video audio

Hey,
Today I've noticed my Pixel 2 XL has a TERRIBLE white noise when recording videos. It fades away at 8 seconds, but comes back if you speak.
Is there any chance to fix that or just faulty mic? Tried safemode, same results.
I have a video example, but cannot post it yet.
