My N95 8GB outperforms the Desire in video recording. What's the point in a high res video camera if it records at 15fps?
[Desire General] th3:
I get 12fps indoors... haven't seen higher in over 50 recordings. Colour reproduction is also off. N95 sure does beat the pants off it in this area.

How do you tell what frames per second you're getting? Can't seem to find anything in the phone that will tell me.
[Desire General] Bart1981:
Well now there is root acces. So this means we can put custom roms on our decvice and/or we can adjust the build.prop so we can also adjust the camera settings...

Personally I think there is no need to worry. Just have patience :)
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Cheers Bart. Patience it is.

Meson1 I use a codec analyser like 'gspot' to look at the details and properties of the video files. If you use Windows 7 you can also just click on the file in explorer and it displays the frame rate and associated details at the bottom of screen.
[Desire General] Zackarydoo:
Its easier to just long press the video and select details to see the frame rate and other info.

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Nice Zackarydoo, didn't know that shortcut.

Guys I emailed HTC last week just out of interest to ask if there would be an update to the 15fps video recording rate as I had expected the phone to record at close to 30fps.

I got this helpful reply.

Dear Customer Thank you for contacting HTC Europe. At this time we don’t have any specific information regarding this matter. If you have any further questions please contact us again. Regards Adiam HTC
[Desire General] meson1:
Ah. Good. Okay. I experimented with recording a vid with default settings (640x480). Dull day, but outside. It says 26 fps on mine. Looks pretty good to me.
[Desire General] Zackarydoo:
I managed to get 26fps on one video too, in decent daylight only though.
[Desire General] meson1:
I wonder if the speed of the SD card might make a difference? I am using an 8GB class 6 MicroSDHC jobbie. All the faster for streaming video to; in theory.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Well the device ships with a class 2 card so I would be surprised if a higher class meant higher frame rate recording. Maybe u can put the original card in and make a video and check frame rate. Then do the same video scene in the class 6 and let us know if there is a frame rate difference.
[Desire General] Zackarydoo:
It can't be to do with the speed of the memory card because that wouldn't explain why the framerate varies with different amounts of light. I've had upto 26fps in good light and down to 9fps in low light.
[Desire General] PaulW21781:
Can't say I've had issues myself with the framerate when recording stuff... This is a video I shot a few weeks back, and needless to say I was actually impressed with the quality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQGbev6IXxE
[Desire General] zlivan:
Framerate reduces in low light situations to reduce noise in the video. Some phones maintain fixed framerate but there's more noise when light levels drop. Also, those phones usually have some kind of "night mode" for such situations.

HTC obviously opted for automatic mode where fps vary but noise levels stay lower.
[Desire General] abc27:
I'd rather have stable FPS than noiseless video.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Good explanation zlivan. thanks. It makes sense now. I took a nice bright daytime clip now and it hit 26fps which is not bad. close enough to nokias 29/30fps. I checked some of my old N82 videos and some of them are as low as 26fps but no lower. I think things will be much better once HTC update the recording software, if they do so.
[Desire General] zlivan:
I'd be very happy with 24 (film) or 25 (PAL) constant frames per second. The hardware is obviously more than capable of producing such frame rates, even at 720p, and we are all hoping to get it in future updates. The best option would be to leave a choice wheather a user wants constant fps or auto exposure with variable fps.

My guess is if that happens we'll start hearing complaints about high noise videos (in low light, of course), so making everyone happy is not easy :)
[Desire General] Eugene's Mac:
The problem seems to be with the software config from Samsung for the lens. The specs from Samsung for the lens states capability only 15FPS. Very sad news indeed. Perhaps this will be unlocked to update to 30FPS as I have read, but alas, not in the next update.

My question to HTC was about an update to improve the FPS for video recording, and the answer is in the column below.

"Thank you for contacting us. In regards to FPS, I can help you with that. The update when released will update mainly be to enable the device to use the camera apps on the market, so no direct impact on FPS. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC.":confused:
[Desire General] paulruk:
I checked all my videos and outdoors theyre all above 24fps. My indoor videos are 21fps or more.

I havent done any night/low light before but did a test this morning in a dark area of my kitchen and it was down at 15fps. I took a photo too and it automatically used the flash.

To be honest I didnt expect much in low light, you cant expect a phone camera with a 2mm wide lens to be any good in low light.
[Desire General] mornixuur:
First let me say that variable framerates suck. How are you supposed to edit this and make it into something standard. I rather have them capturing at 24 frames constantly even if that means the screen will be black. Second if we get 24+ frames in bright daylight it is not the hardware but some software limitation which should be easy to alter. As it seems a lot of processing bandwidth is used to denoise stuff.

On the positive side i think the image quality of both video and still is very acceptable for a phone.
[Desire General] th3:
Sadly, all those vids are better when downloaded onto the phone and then played back for me.

One thing I noticed is the 1.6Mbps rate of the stock Desire vid compared to the 40-50Kbps of your uploads. That's way too little for any codec to keep good quality. You need around 180-280Kbps even using H.264.

i haven't done much vids... but i hate the fact its uses the .3gp format :( should have been atleast .mp4 grrrrr
[Desire General] Degurney:
I thought

I thought it does mp4 ? as well as 3gp
[Desire General] th3:
It does record in a MPEG-4 format but not in the .MP4 container which is the norm by now and speaking for myself, by far the one I use most. Definitely was a huge negative for me.

How is this on other newer phone like HTC Incredible and HTC EVO 4G?

If I am not mistaken, they are using "similar" (if not the same) 1GHz processor.

Is it possible to get their video recording "software" and install it in HTC Desire?

Well, might need root ... but if possible :)
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
What about using any other app for video recording? Is there such an app? QIK is the closest I know of.

audio recording

i'm surprised you are all talking about video recording quality and none's talking about the audio quality of the recordings... has anyone tried recording a video with sound from a live concert for example ? the audio distortion is amazing... one of the most terrible audio recordings ever....
[Desire General] milance86:
hi

i had problem with 720p recording on my HTC Desire with 4gb microSD class2..

every 5sec the video freez for half second,audio also...

so i bought new memory card 8gb class6 and video recording/playback is ok, but AUDIO is still freezing...

and i dont even want to talk about framerate.. it is total disappointing

outside 21-24fps

inside only 10-14 :(

i also restored my phone to factory default but no changes...

my phone info: HTC Desire

Android 2.2

Baseband: 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20

Software Nr.: 2.09.405.8

is there some solution to fix that?
[Desire General] andycted:
No, but you can get a bit less skipping and probably a couple more fps with cyanogen/opendesire implementation of the camera. Autofocus is still not working very well though.

However I can reach 30fps with 480 recording outside, even on stock rom.
[Desire General] infazz:
Stock rom, outside in day time :)

on 480p 25 - 30 fps

on 720p 20 - 24 fps
[Desire General] kman3d:
sTOrM41 that actually works!!!

but I think from the tests i done indoor it only works if you set the encoding to use H.264 which is Max - 800x480. (MPEG4 - 720P, 480P, 640x480 are not working)...

Thanks for your find!!!
[Desire General] sTOrM41:
for me it works in all modes,

720p with 22-28fps (before 14-18)
[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
this does actually work
[Desire General] chichoko:
That was a well known DIY "hack" and has been mentioned in countless posts but non the less.. im glad more people noticed it now ;) As for the audio container.. yes it sucks unfortunately and I cannot really tell why HTC chose that one over something better like even mp3 encoding? I dont think the Snapdragon would have any issues compressing it on the fly (although the 720p video could be quite demanding...) Lets hope with the advent of the new HTC Sense.. we'll see better video recording with brilliant sound :cool:

Hello,

i have the same prop like many other Leo Owners. I set Audio over Bluetooth, first time it works, after shut down the sound comes via the Phonespeaker no more chance anymore to change it. Except after hardreset but than the same, it works so long you dont shut down the phone.

Same Prop with Voice Command, Cyberon, Vito the sound goes over the Systemspeaker, i had read all Threads no solution works.

I have the origin newest Vodafone German Rom 1.66 are there any knowing reghacks to fix it.

Thank's a lot Ingo
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Have you tried going to the settings > Bluetooth and activate stereo audio there?

When you first link your bluetooth headset and your phone, it automatically connects both, but after you power down either bluetooth connection or the headset, you have to manually connect the stereo autio.

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me.

I have read up on how to unroot the phone by flashing the phone to the Sprint's 1.56 version and thought I found the software download to do that. I flashed my phone using fresh-cdma rom that said it was Sprint's factory rom; well when the phone starts up is says fresh and the home screen don't even look like what it had before I flashed it. I have to return the phone to sprint b/c it does not hook up USB on any computer or even ask to hook up that way. It just automatically charges the phone. I hope someone has the link to the factory software I need to flash the phone that way. I cannot use anything that would require me to hook it up USB. Please help as soon as possible.

[HD2 General] azahoth:
Hi people, thought I would share a new application I found using "Omarket", for those who don't know what it is, its like windows market place but most of the cabs are free ware and actually made by some guys round here. Its pretty cool. The music identification application is called "Midomi"

I was using MusicID but this linked in with Shazam and so eventually it expired and wanted cash- aye right. Anyway I found this this app and I`m very happy with it. Basically, "hum a tune" or let it listen (grab) a tune for 10 secs, it then tells you what it is but ALSO gives you a preview of the song just so you are sure. Really am quite impressed with this and want you guys to get the benefit too. You may have heard of gracenote - similar thing.

Have tested it using TV and radio songs so far 100%, however it will never get my weird 60's psych stuff ;) or my bad singing voice :/

does ambient noise affect the results significantly?
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Did you sing or play it? :D
[HD2 General] azahoth:
Ambient noise may interfere but bear in mind what it is actually doing; its cross referencing the results with like a million formants or "peaks" of millions of songs it can give strange results sometimes. Sing "yellow submarine" by the beatles, that's a good example of how it does work with general tracks. Not sure how it would stand in a club but better the microphone, better the results imo

If you have a 64bit system and you've reinstalled your device drivers countless times and still no progress, I have a solution! In order to be able to root with your Behold 2 on your 64bit system you need to do the following:

-Restart your PC

-F8

-Disable Driver Signing

Now if the drivers for the Behold 2 were already installed previously before doing that, you should be able to goto the Device Manager now and see that everything is working properly for this device. If not, just reinstall the drivers once more.

If this has been posted already, please close this thread.

when i call back the person mentions that my side was choppy as well ...

this phone replaced a magic that i did not have any call issues with.

Curious to see what you guys think about the best way to manage rotation on the HD2. Looks like Gyrator has the smaller footprint of the two I list. Wondering how you guys manage rotation on screens that are not natively supported like the Today screen, and so on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
By far the best solution is imo changeScreen! Works similar as Gyrator but it is more light weighted and it is also very reliable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BillTheCat:
Interesting. Didn't work for me, but Gyrator is spot on. Guess I'll stick with that. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Have you set up your changeScreen-configuration? E.g. the Manila home screen is by default on the exception list because it does not work with ANY program to rotate Manila 2.5 correctly (in later Manila versions the rotation support comes natively). But just try it e.g. within the startmenu or within any filemanager - everything works brilliantly because lots programs support rotation natively - HTC just didn't implement a proper use of the g-sensor... don't ask me why... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BillTheCat:
Ok, just tried it again and it's working with pretty much everything I want it to rotate, but it seems that eWallet doesn't play nice with either ChangeScreen or Gyrator.

One thing I noticed is that Gyrator seems to be faster in responding to changes. Not a deal-breaker, but just wondering why.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] radon222:
Bump this up to the top. Did either ChangeScreen or Gyrator allow for 180* rotation in Portrait?
