Im planning on getting the desire, and im REALLY interested in the 720p recording, but from the videos ive seen in youtube they look like like upscaled videos whats the bitrate ? 19-20 fps? also the audio is craptastic
What about the pictures? i HATE the pics taken by my milestone, are the desire pics any better?
EDIT: i just realized this is the wrong forum x.x please close this, im gonna open a new post in general discussion
The 720p are pretty good for me actually. When transferred to my PC, i can view it in fullscreen with HD quality.
Pictures taken without flash is great, but with flash...zzzz its terrible. Not sure bout others but it does suck for me.
720p video is still in progress and for Desire/ Nexus
with the new radio that came yesterday HTC have more
improve the quality of recording, Cyanogen and his team
working on raising the fps and video at autofocus ..
also be expected to improve the quality and the options
I can record it fine, with 20 fps, but I don't see much point in it, cause the lens doesn't give very high quality video that is really worth recording in HD

Yep,You should buy a new clas6 or clas10 card & install new radio
first instal new radio file from hire ,camacoder workin so smooth now
I used to think the video was garbage too, which is is from stock rom with stock radio. But upgraded everything, radio, modaco r8 and just tried it now (never thought it would make it better) and its fine.
Yeah, not on par with iPhone 4 HD recording, but still quite good. Its only going to get better with the modifications that are coming.

How good is it?
Anyone has a sample 720p video file that was created using HTC Desire?
Thanks.
I am curious too... anyone got a sample?

It sucs, upscaled video, low fps
Not impressed by it at all. Seems worse than my previous N95.

The image is crisp, but the fps is too low. I'm hoping it will get better when we get the official 2.2 update, but for now 480p is what you want to use
well, i don't know. i took one a few days ago (i forget which rom now) and the 720p one was relatively ok (low fps - 20 ish according to mpc-hc), but no tearing.
old vids i took on stock 480p was a tear fest on movement and unusable. as i've mentioned before though, i'd rather have a higher fps recorded with 480p. would make for a far smoother playback experience
ehh not impressed
I don't know, for my part I'm surely very impressed and happy with it.

This wasn't even in perfect light conditions and with the leaked rom from some weeks ago...

Here is an example of the 720p video.... You will have to change the youtube setting to 720p to see the full quallity. Notice how jumpy it is.. like someone else said my old N95 was better.

Yes, all 720p recorded looks CRAP. I'm just hoping the official 2.2 is improved or optimized. No offense to the chefs, but I have seen some aspects of pre release roms not living up to the official versions. i.e. seen some slow sluggish unstable hero 2.1 roms. the offical one is 100% perfect.
we know the hardware of the Desire whould easily be able to handle 720 recording so lets wait and see.
glad its not just me.
yes sharp picture when not moving but what use is that
no one has released a video of official 720p recording, leaked roms mean nothing so we're just going to have to wait.
I previously had recorded choppy videos. Installed mcr, replaced my sd card with my new class 6 one and it went away.

Video recording on the Desire suffers drastically due to the lack of any stabilization. Extremely shaky unless you have it mounted perfectly still. I hope the final Desire release has some improvements over the leaked in this regard.
YouTube re-encoded vids are kinda pointless to judge quality from. Here's an original someone had shot a while back before they had higher bitrate recording available: http://db.tt/v7oVpw

After 1 month with Desire HD, I think i like it but there are these 3 things that are really annoying:
1. Camera:
Very limited functionality/adjustment.
Small sensor (my guess) -> can't get a good picture of moving subject (I am not talking about lighting fast moving subject, just for example baby movement).
2. Video:
Very limited file formats can be played back.
Third party players (rockplayer, vplayer) can play some but still not all, especially mkv...very very very laggy.....
Lagging can also occasionally occur during playback of some avi/divx too?
3. Sound/speaker:
This is the worst.
I am comparing the above with the Samsung Galaxy S........quite disappointed.
so here is my 2 cents question:
Does anyone know whether a firmware upgrade can fix the above issues or it's more like a hardware things?
Is it possible that we can use/port the Samsung Galaxy S Camera/Video/Sound firmware/apk on the Desire HD to improve it??????
Many Thanks in advance
There are quite a few threads round here regarding the camera. Have you tried adjusting the ISO? Having it set on "Auto" is a recipe for disaster, the same goes for the white balance.
Check to see if there are any OTA updates available.
You are right. The Desire HD is the biggest piece of crap I've ever used. Unfortunately Telus gave it to me as a replacement while my Galaxy S is being repaired.
Sound is godawful. I hooked up my quality headphones to the Desire HD and can't get any real volume. The sound is completely garbled and half the lyrics are not understandable. I've tried stock settings, using the Dolby and using SRS as well as playing with the equalizer. The sound just plain sucks. It is totally unusable. I'm not an audiophile so I'm perplexed that nobody else has mentioned these issues. Or perhaps there is a solution I'm not aware of.
Second really annoying problem is that I can't delete hotmail emails... they just pop back on the next sync. What gives?
I seriously don't understand how HTC expects to thrive when they put out crap like this. Doesn't anybody believe in quality anymore? Maybe my expectations are just too high, the iphone JUST WORKS and Samsung's Galaxy was a beautiful implementation of Android. Guess I'll just have to wait for my Galaxy to get back or buy the new SGSII. Having an original HTC Diamond and now the problems with the Desire HD, I swear this company should be bankrupt. I'll never pay for one of their phones again.
I agree with seamus24. My friend has Samsung galaxy S II and checked the sound quality. It really better then Desire HD. Is HTC listening ????

Sorry to admit as an avid user of HTCs...the DHD camera is not as good as the Desire, just remember that megapixels is not everything...noise control on the Desire is excellent, overall producing better photo than DHD. I jumped the ship after playing with the SGS2...camera is very low noise, super sharp...also offered 1080 recording as well...
The video player is limited by copyrights and licenses for format playbacks etc and obviously hardware of the DHD. Not to blame, in most cases it can play converted 720 videos without too much issues with the exclusion of MPEG formats IIRC.
Speakers, well that was **** a bit ****, I still firmly believe that the Desure was a better phone, the audio quality on it I believe was better, in comparison again to the SGS2, well there is no competition...DHD<Desire<SGS2
@OP, even if porting was possible, I fear that the archilles heels is based on the actual hardware of the camera, processor (CPU and GPU) and speaker. All of which cannot be changed or upgraded. There is only so much firmware updates can enable slight improvements. Whilst CPU can be OCed, I believe I read from fellow DHD DEV LordClockan that the GPU on the DHD cannot be OCed. Speakers, even with the enhancement from BEATS, very little can be done through software equalisers...trust me, there are people *****ing and moaning about how bad the SGS2 sound quality in comparison to SGS at the SGS2 XDA Forum...they dont actually know how bad DHD is then...but still...borrowing a DHD at the moment...missed SenseUI hahaha...

I'm assuming that's a blu-ray rip you're trying to play on your device? or just another .mkv file (for the quality of picture you get on it)
I tried playing 'Avatar' 2.26GB - blu-ray ripped to a mkv file. Had to take the battery out to restart the phone. I work for a telco, so I tried it on several other DHDs - same result.
Worked like a charm on the SGSII though. I'm assuming, the DHD can only do so much.
Fellow Evomates,
I know there are a couple of related threads, but they are quite old and do not have the info i m looking at.
I have a couple of ocassions in my locality for new year and i cannot afford to miss them and my evo 4g is the only camcorder that i have.
So i want to know which is the rom that has the best video recording capabilities.
I m currently on stock(unrooted) 2.2 (yes i know i m a generation behind but i never felt the need of rooting my phone until today)
The audio quality on the stock is horrible. The video is good but i know my evo is capable of doing better.
So i need a rom that can :
1. Record in 1080p (i saw a rom a couple of months back that had this, not sure if it actually did and how usable it was) I m sure evo can do 1080p because 1080p is nothing but 2mp and evo has an 8mp camera, correct me if i m wront. Also, if it can do 1080p will i need to upgrade to a class 6 or class 10 sd card ?
2. If not 1080p then 720p with excellent audio quality.
Please suggest me the best rom, current user experience will be greatly appreciated. I m okay with any rom(sense, aosp etc) , video recording is the only priority, i dont need any other feature.
All replies will be appreciated. Thank you. Cheers !
P.S The ocassion is on 2nd jan, so please reply quickly as it will take me atleast a day to root and test.
Re: Evo Video
Recently switched from Tmobile to Sprint. I have flashed them all. Energy Rom for 1080p. Its very stable, daily use however no 4g. Currently using Warm Two Point Two. Good Luck and a warning ....Flashing is very addictive...
Using RadianceHD Revamped for one of my 5 Roms and it has 1080p camcorder capabilities and now has Beats audio capabilities as of last night thanks to Chad kernel.
Also USB Host Mode so you can add/connect USB peripherals to your phone.

Thank you guys for the inputs. I m rooting my phone right away.
I have a couple of questions :
1. How stable is 1080p on evo. Does it lag ? how many fps can i get ?
2. Do i need to upgrade my class 2 sd card for 1080p to work properly.
Please note, i need to record for 2 hrs continuous, so how much of space will 1080p need ? Will an 8gig card be sufficient ??
Thanks
I remember reading somewhere that 16GB will get you 2.5hrs (empty), so by time you add Rom, apps and data you would be pushing it. 32GB, imo would be way to go. Might be wrong, but as far as class of card, heard mixed things on class 10, but good on 4 or 8. Brand name and reputation seems to play a part as well. Personally, I would never try and push a phone to do what you are trying to do.. but when its all you have.. you can make it do, just dont expect perfection.
I will say my EVO has never failed me yet :knocks on wood
Thanks. So i think 32gig class 6 is the way to go out.

I know i just cannot expect my phone to replace a camcorder completely and i know the limitations, but at the end of it i want most of its capabilities.
If it can do 1080p without any lag and without any prob, i would love 1080p from it but if it can do 720p with better fps then i guess i will stick to 720p.
What would be your final take? I m sure custom roms will do better 720p then the stock one, correct me if i m wrong.
So i guess i need to root it anyways.
Can you also post a video of 1080p so i can see how it looks, i would really appreciate if you can upload a sample. Thanks
Do you know anyother website or link to download the RadianceHD Revamped 3.5 sense with beats, Please try Every sites but all Links r broken, even the link you gave not letting download, it says smth about 10 Posts, Would really really appreciate if anyone can help me to download this ROM for my EVO 4G :/

Not sure if this needs to be in Q&A or here, it's my first post so be nice haha!
Just a couple questions that I wanted answering, as I'm planning to get the One X next week.
I've heard a few bits and bobs about the camera - both pictures and video, and just wanted to ask:
1) In general, are the photos a good quality?
2) Is there still a framerate issue with video recording? Does it make much difference?
Thank you!
I know they update the firmware etc, so didn't know if they'd fixed anything at all?

1) The one x takes superb pictures, the best of any phone I've used, and there was a comparison showing that it also out performs the s3 camera noticeably. There are a few threads with pictures people have taken.
2) I haven't noticed any framerate issues, but I haven't recorded much video. If there are any framerate issues it can be fixed with updates.

i doubt htc one x out perform sgs3.. i had gs2 before and what i can say.. sgs2 give a better performance in still photo and video. sgs2 had much more detail and give a higher bitrate in video. and now it's far behind sgs3.. just go check comparison article by gsmarena. also there is thread in here talking about HOX video quality.. just search for it..
guys..there are SuperCameraMod for the Sensation..talk to the dev and see him if he will work on it for hox or not

Thanks for the replies guys, all really helpful Just like making sure in my head all the little answers are answered before I take the plunge!
Thanks again!
The HOX takes excellent photos. From what I read lately as well, it is better then the GS3. The features of the HOX camera are excellent as well. For instant, the panoramic feature is flawless, compared to other phones with this feature, and to all of the panoramic apps I have tried from the market/playstore.
My only let down is playback of video after you use SlowMo ( yes it has a slomo feature ) stutters some times. It could be better, but nothing I think an update will not fix down the track.
Hello
i have a problem
when i record a movie with the standard camera app, the audio is veeeeeeeeeeery bad, and the movie is also nothing special.
Is there a way to make it better?
Do you think its better to root the phone?
All other things look ok in my opinion, but im really disappointed with the camera/mic

Yes Rooting is GOD...oh wait..misread something here
Rooting is good if you need access to system functions. I dont know if it will improve your camera sound/picture. Are you recording videos at the highest quality (720p or 1080p use higher bitrate for sound)?
No in your case, since you are clueless what is root.
If you are clueless of what is root, it may do more harm than good.
thx for the answer
i try to record a movie in 1080p, hoping sound also becomes better...
thank u
You certainly can't expect wonders from that tiny mic on gnexus or any other phone...
