Hi, this appens to me too, during autofocusing AND auto exposure adjustment together.
[Galaxy S II General] garanixx:
Who is sav? :)
[Galaxy S II General] garanixx:
It happens to you even when you set exposure to -2.0? as was suggested? :(
[Galaxy S II General] djase:
"S.A.V" i'm sorry is a french word for contact support lol !

another thing, what is your Camera Firmware ?

do *#34971539# and check your Phone/Cam Fw version.

mine:

Cam FW : SCEE07

Phone FW: TBEC28
[Galaxy S II General] Locster126:
I've got all my sluts in check, thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] garanixx:
So just to clarify: Does that mean you don't suffer from this problem? :P
[Galaxy S II General] OccasionalDroid:
Lollollol,

Did the op mean to say stutter, never heard of slutter except for the old bicycle that we all used to ride, lol

[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
No it doesn't happen anymore if i set the exposure to -2.0
[Galaxy S II General] garanixx:
Haha, that's funny! I just googled around and it seems it really isn't officially even a word, though most people seem to know what it means regardless! I don't know where it came from or how it became synonimous to "lag" XD

Maybe I should just get a mod to rename my thread, just to be sure people don't start getting the wrong idea about what I do with my phones :P

[Galaxy S II General] djase:
any news ?

cheers
[Galaxy S II General] garanixx:
Not yet, no. For the time being I'm using your suggestion of -2.0 exposure.

I'm most likely going to get it fixed/replaced when the first hardware revision is out. Since I assume(or at least hope) that will fix most of the technical problems and defects plaguing the SGS2 right now.

Sending it in for repairs now is too risky as I could end up waiting 2-3 weeks only to get it back with the same flaw or something even worse. Seems that happens to a lot of people who get replacement SGS2 right now :\
[Galaxy S II General] djase:
did u try to update camera firmware ?

when i record in 720x480 no more drop fps only in 720p & 1080i

very strange !!!
[Galaxy S II General] garanixx:
I never had FPS drops at a resolution below 720p. Only at 720p and 1080p. And yes I did try to update. It didn't help :\
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
I've taken some out door videos, in sunny condition, and the stuttering did not appeared. Seems like the stuttering appears when strong light variation occours during autofocus. Someone can confirm that?

[Galaxy S II General] LightspeedGalaxy:
It actually doesn´t look so abnormal for me.

After all we are still talking about a phone with a camera attached, and not a real camera.

There are some limitations of what you can expect from this tiny things, and a low-light indoor-scene is virtually the worst nightmare for such small cameras.

There is not much you can do with such tiny sensors, which of course have a pretty bad light-sensitivity.

To get a correct exposure with low light you can only do 2 things. Aperture is fixed, so there is no way to get more light through the lens. So you can only use either a longer shutterspeed or increase the ISO-sensitivity. But if the shutter-speed gets longer than the framerate, this will effectively decrease the real framerate. And if you set the sensitivity too high you end up with a noisy mess pretty quickly with this tiny sensors. This is especially true for 1080p, which uses an even smaller part of the sensor.

The third option would be to limit shutter-speed and ISO, but then you will end up with an underexposed picture.

To me it doesn´t seem like an error, but rather a design-choice.

It looks like the phone uses some Auto-ISO-algorithm based on the movement in the frame. So when there is not much movement it allows slow shutter-speeds, as you won´t notice it that much anyway, to keep the ISO down.

When it notices movement, it will increase ISO to allow faster shutter-speeds, but of course it needs a few frames to actually detect the movement, therefore the delay after the camera is moved until the footage is reasonably smooth.

Finally even my Panasonic LX5, which is a real camera will have some trouble to get a good video-quality in such low-light-conditions, and this camera has a 3x-4x bigger sensor and a F2,0 lens.
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Hi, all that you wrote is interesting and correct, anywhay i have some doubts about two concerns:

1) why some people has this "defect" and some other no?

2) I've noticed that in such low light conditions it's impossible to raise the light sensibility to any value higher than zero (i can move the slide but nothing changes), but if i rise to +2, during autofocus, i notice stuttering and a brighter image (it's like a flash). Could you explain this??

I've already mailed samsung support, and i didn't receive any response.

I've uploaded a video on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml7op61gM4g
[Galaxy S II General] LightspeedGalaxy:
People don´t use reproducible situations. There seems to be a consensus, that there is no problem. Then there are some who say they get this problem in low light, others may not. But nobody has ever defined what low light actually is.

And "typical indoor lighting" can vary by several factors, and humans won´t notice even quite big differences, as we adapt to the surrounding light and will always notice the "same" brightness.

So I would say in some situations the light was low enough to show this effects, while in other situations there was still enough light. All comparisons are worthless if we don´t have any measurements how much light in the scene really is.

Autofocus works with contrast-detection. If the light is too low there is hardly any contrast to detect. So the AF-system boosts the signal-amplifier to rise the ISO-sensitivity to get enough contrast for the system to work.

This is a pretty common way to make an AF-system still working in low light. Also contrast-detection won´t work if motion-blur has already blurred the whole image, so it must use a reasonable fast shutter-speed for the AF-system.

I´m not saying the system works perfect the way it does, for example I would disable the autofocus in low-light-movies at all. DoF with tiny sensors is so high, that it is better to set the focus at hyperfocal distance before starting the movie, instead of moving the focus-distance during the movie.

But you all shouldn´t try so hard to turn a very crappy image into a still crappy image, because this is the best you will ever get with phone-cameras.

They are good enough for emergency-use in daylight, but in low light they are simply not usable.

If you plan to take photos or videos, then use a tool that is designed for this.

Finally you wouldn´t use a swiss knife to cut down a tree, would you?
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Any news about this problem?

I wached several night videos on you tube taken with the sgs2 and they don't have this problem:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fw7bMxt5qY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmMh4OZj1kA&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsgkl-Hg9TU&NR=1

In these videos framerate is much more stable and the "flashing" effect during autofocus is absent.
[Galaxy S II General] blasiusx:
i have the same problem or issue, too.

The problem is since i take the camera Firmware Upgrade vom Samsung App Store.

Before there was'nt problems with the camera.

The Video Recording (and Playback) in 720p or 1080p lags and stutters all the time. Outside (with natural lights) the stuttering or lags (looks like frame drops) are'nt so strong as inside my house, with synthetic lights. Since i flash the new camera firmware from the samsung app marekt, the problem exists.

The Autofocus works very slowly, i think this error is the basic for the problems.

My Camera Firmware is SCEF09 and Phone TBEC28.

I phone to Samsung Support. An Hardware Reset or any other ROM don't solve this issue. It's the Camera Fimware Update Problem. Samsung said, i should send the phone to samsung support. But i know of someone, who get a replacement or a new galaxy s2 with the same firmware and same problems. i think only a new Camera Firmware Upgrade solve this.

You can't get back older Camera Firmwares, it's not possible to install these, because the newer FW has priority.

Please, all Users with this problem call or write to samsung and describe the problem. The last camera firmware upgrades from the Samsung App Market (Store) causes or bring this big issue.
[Galaxy S II General] hank00k:
My S2 been suffering from this stuttering since I bought it. Before and after that camera firmware update.

I tried the suggested fix of lowering the exposure level and it worked great. So if fixing a simple value fix the problem does that mean the issue is software or faulty hardware?

[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
I don't know if this is a hw or sw related problem, and maybe well'never know. Samsung support say that i should bring my phone to a samsung center for an "inpection".
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:

[Galaxy S II General] blasiusx:
I'll be interested, where is the different between the customers of the camera. How can i check which camera is in my galaxy s2 integrated ? I can only check the firmwares, but don't know which camera....
[Galaxy S II General] abhiwltya:
Seriously Man, Sammy reaaly gotta do something about this.

Why is some of the devices have this problem....watching youtube videos taken by sgs2 in complete darkness and without any stuttering just burns me in....why does my device goes down to 10-12 fps...somebody please help :(
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
You can help yourself bringing your phone to a samsung repair center. I will do after my holidays becouse i WANT to use the product for the wich i paid to take some pictures and full hd videos, and then watch them on the best display of the world (samsung's words on the italian site...).

After enjoing the best videos of the world on the best phone of the world with the best display of the world, payed the best price of the world, i'll go to the best customer care of the world, searching for the best anus of the world, were to put it in all, with the best wishes of the world! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Returning serious:

lowering the exposure value you can obtain better framerates. I've noticed that even at -1, -1,5 it's possible to obtain acceptable results. I've olso noticed that filming in pitch black the frame rate is more stable than filming in semi-low light conditions (for example in-door with artificial light).

P.s. wachout the samsung gorilla's glass: seems like the glass was obtained from a sensitive area of the gorilla, becouse it's quite simple to scrape.

P.p.s. my model suffers from yellow tint and banding on the left of the screen, camera pink spot, camera low light lags, eternal gps fix without data connection, overheat when used too much (internet, 3D games).
[Galaxy S II General] blasiusx:
Take in the camera adjustings the exposure value the level to -2. In my case it still stutters with -1 to - 1,5. Then the video is a bit darkly, but okay. But, please call to samsung, that the problem will be solved through a camera firmware update.
[Galaxy S II General] fire_fist:
Mine is working perfectly. Phew.
[Galaxy S II General] DrSlump76:
Hi, my phone has exactly the same problem. If the support says that's an hardware problem, i think that all the phone with the same defetct have the same hardware problem. I'll wait your report before to bring my phone to a samsung support center, i hope that they will solve your (and our) problem.

Hello,

I have two galaxy s2 phones, the white one works good, but the black has this issue.

CAM FW ver. SCEF02

Phone FW ver. TBEC28

official android 4.0.3

It was lagging in older 2.3.5 too.

I read here about changing exposure to -2, but seriously this doesn't fix the problem, only minimize a fps drop.

Is there any solution ? I guess maybe replacing the cam fw version can fix the problem. But I don't have much understandings about this.

I am really very disapointed with this crappy samsung phones (first comed with bad display), gorilla glass seems to be easy to scretch, etc. I hate samsung and I'll never buy this piece of **** again. (I also had 2 another android phones before galaxy s2). In general the phone is good (if you don't buy one, which has some bug, but it's really diffucult because half of units contains some stupid bug). My old HTC was like dream. I think I'll buy some HTC again and sell this crappy phone with the best display ever. :mad:

sorry for my english ehm :rolleyes:

I've changed the white balance from auto to incandescent and its ok for me now.
[Galaxy S II General] yusufjee:
Not being rude or anything but thats one of the worst tips. You really dont want your videos to look like they were recorded in water :)

Anyway bringing exposure down to -2 seems to fix the problem or minimize it but this is something i believe can be fixed through software tweaking i cannot believe no CHEFS have worked on correcting this yet.

its a software problem and they have tried to solve it, here is all the information:

Hi,

I have laid my hands on a HTC Trophy and I would like to chevron7 unlock so I make make some registry changes.

However, I am currently on the the latest ROM which is 7392

From what I have read, I need to downgrade to 7004 and then I can do the chevron cert unlock.

Unfortunately I haven't managed to find any tutorials or guide for this and dont want to end up with a brick.

Can anyone assist me or point me in the right direction?

Phone Details:

Carrier : Vodafone NZ

OS Version: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware revision number: 2250.09.12000.179

Hardware revision number: 0003

Radio software version: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Radio Hardware version:A.102.0.D4

Bootloader version: 1.20.2250.0(117833)

Thanks in advance.

WP:confused:
[Trophy General] DominikZ:
When you upgraded your phone to 7392 you automatically created a Backup with Zune.

The Backup can be found somewhere at:

C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\2cb49707 - da54f4ef - ab0d6f87 - 9d2bc573\RestorePoint.

So to restore your backup - connect your phone - open Zune - click "settings" - phone - Updates - there you should find the restore option.

HTH
[Trophy General] wickedpenguin:
Thanks for that. However, i ended up just flashing a custom rom and it did the same thing. Now all unlocked.

Cheers
[Trophy General] imd:
Trophy Rom

hwere did you find the custom ROM can you please give me link
[Trophy General] deeshay:
I managed to downgrade my Trophy from 7392 using the following method:

1. Download the relevant ROM, I used the oldest Vodafone one listed in the development section of the Trophy forum.

2. Disconnect from the PC if it is then turn the device off.

3. Hold the volume down button and then hold the power button unitl the boot loader screen appears. You'll know what it is as it's multi coloured.

4. Now connect it to your PC and Windows should detect it as an HTC USB Sync device.

5. Run the ROM package you downloaded earlier and follow the instructions. You will be erasing all data on the phone.

6. Updater should run!

These are only the steps that worked for me so I can't guarrentee it will work for anyone else.

Hope this helps some people.

Looking for a video editor that can edit the 3d video from the evo 3d and keep it in a format that can be uploaded to YouTube.

?
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
you need any editor that can edit h264 with aac audio within mp4 container

then export as the same, when uploading to youtube just put in the right yt3d keywords

I use Adobe Premiere for mine
[HTC EVO 3D] ssdave:
The trim software that came with the 3d phone is a great addition. I've used it a lot since shooting with my EVO 3d. It helps to shrink the video's to fit on youtube without needing a wifi connection.
[HTC EVO 3D] fhernandez1030:
How exactly did you use premier to edit the video? I tried premier it always messed up the format. I think tried the new vegas with 3d support. That would mess up the file as well. tried a few other editing programs with 3d support and none of them even recognize the video as being 3d and try to make it 3d and thus why they all dont do it right.

It always shows up with two views when i try to look at it again on the device, sometimes with four.

I just want to edit together simple clips nothing too crazy.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
you don't need 3D editing software, the actual video is 1 file with them side by side, load it in to a 720p project, the video will fit in to that fine, edit as you would normally, then export as 720p too

nothing else to do, it's that simple

What export setting are you using besides 720p? Are you able to watch the video on your evo 3d?
