[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Cannot help you with battery or MMS stuff. My battery bites like everyone else except the members who "never have an issue" and I use Go SMS Pro. Never have an issue with it.

Dude, what is this issue you are having with the camera? My phone bites. Slow as a snail, tap and wait, tap and wait, tap and wait! Battery needs a charge before the end of the day. But the video camera takes great video. It has the same issue it always had. Touch pause and you are toast. The chances you have of resuming the recording is almost zero. Tap the tiny pause dot again to resume, camera crashes and goes to stop. Video recording lost. I did a 1 minute test of the cat, zoom in and out by pinching the screen, and paused. No way to resume, camera stopped, video lost. Tried it again, this time no pause, 1 minute video of my PC monitors, your post, Law & Order SVU on other monitor, and stopped. Just have to find it. In /ExdSDCard/DCIM/Camera. A perfect 1 minute, super high quality video at 108.35Mb. I would show you the video but I doubt you would want to download just to see someone's monitor. I could lower the video quality to make the files smaller. (The video will end up in my Dropbox anyway. Dropbox does auto camera upload, including video.)

But the camera always works, both of them. I was *****ing about this un-pause issue forever, but nothing got done about it. The problem is still here, the camera is fine. Great video. It never "stopped working", Brian. Build date is 08/20. Hmmm, 08/21 is out, might as well update. :D

You want to know how long the camera works, it always did. I can search back for my posts about the pause issue, but that was months ago. Okay, here:

We must have been having an argument or something, go down to where it says "Hughes is right". That is where I talk about the camera and how this bug annoys the crap out of me. ;)

There is no camera problem, at least for me, but the pause/un-pause issue. Does that help you? I guess so. If the camera was broken, I would have it too. Great video camera, just don't every pause it if you want to keep the video. How can you fix it? I don't know. Maybe uninstall the camera apk and restore it with a working one. If I can find it, I will give it to you. Where are all the installed apk files? System? Data? Have to find it again and it may have a weird name like robi something or other. /data/app/ Great. Huge list! OMG I will never find it. :(

Oh, this is installed stuff, not cm11 original files like the camera. Look man, if you know where on the device the apk for the original camera is, I will send it to you.

What is wrong with your camera? Low audio and then you cannot run it again. Hmmm, my audio was low, but there were no people talking or anything. Just the TV on low volume. It does run over and over again though. Let me try a quick record and narrate to check audio for you. Nope, audio is loud and clear. 50Mb MP4 test file. I will post it for you. I don't think mp4 streams, might have to DL the whole thing to see it. Here ya go.

Not sure if that will help, but we can try, okay? Camera works good, just the pause issue. Your stone hit the bottom of the hole, I hear ya buddy. But I don't have camera issues other than the pause one. :cowboy:

...you did the ALS Ice bucket challenge and blew the video? LOL! That really bites, man. :laugh:

The camera was fixed and has worked ever since we stopped having to install the moto cam and the WiFi patch on cm11. Stargo fixed the camera and gave us the PSA on it. No more patches and no more additional cameras.

Oh, I remember the camera bug for pause and the workaround I figured out for it!

Before you begin recording,

tap the screen on your subject to let the little rings achieve focus lock.

Turns red on video, green on camera. If I do that first, I can pause and resume with no crash or problems! Man, that was a long time ago. I forgot about that. Try and see if it stops your camera from crashing and not starting again. So far as the audio, how do you know you do not have a clogged microphone or something stupid like that? Test with that crappy Sound Recorder and make sure you actually CAN record loud audio, bra. :rolleyes:
