[Q] CM6 camera app...Maximum 30 minutes recording? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone encounter a FC when recording for long periods of time?
I have a clean 16gb Class 10 card in it, so space and transfer shouldn't have been an issue.
Did some quick searching on this forum, didn't find anything relevant. Feel free to school me with proper search terms if it's been asked/commented elsewhere.
Edit:
It's 30 minutes not seconds (title updated).

I guess I was caught off guard at the fact that it FC'd at 30 minutes; there are settings that I didn't see before that limit you to a maximum of 30 minutes. Really wish it would go longer though.

Wow, you actually recorded for 30 constant minutes!? I'm not sure why you need to record that long with an evo. If you are recording a play or dance recital you should be using a real camera with a tripod.
A lot of still camera video will cap out at an hour or 4GB whatever comes first. Usually the 4GB comes first. The FAT32 file system is limited to 4GB files.

Only hitting 1.4 gig at 30 minutes.
Was recording a work meeting for my boss whom couldn't attend.

how much video playback on medium light settings?

Anyone watched any videos on their phone. I have uploaded a few seasons but have not watched any yet. Im due to take some flights soon and wondering will the phone last for a few hours of video playback on med light/sound settings?
I think I read 7 hours video playback somewhere. Cannot find that anywhere now though. thanks.
i doubt that it can play videos for 7 hours. i assure you though that i used mine to watch 2 full movies around 1.30hours each with full brightness and it still got 10-15% remaining. i don't think though that the medium brightness will double the play time
thanks for that lambo. 3 hours ain't too bad I guess.
I do it all the time while travelling... keeping 3 SD cards for this reason (Desire corrupt my 16GB card after 2 weeks in). Just came back in a few mins ago after a test with these results;
Vid: H.264, MP4, 15FPS, 480*360, 1.2Mbps
Aud: AAC, MP3,128Kbps
Start: 7.45pm, fullscreen, 25% screen brightness, 5 synchronized widgets running, airplane mode, movie running using the built-in HTC Flash light through the Photo app, battery 83%
End: 11.00pm, battery 42%
Right now (12.06am): After non-stop WiFi web browsing since I came back and incessant XDA app browsing, enabling GSM mode, synchronizing 23 NewsRoom feeds, 7 emails, weather, stocks and calendar - battery is at 35%.
Close to 7 hours playback should be a breeze on my handset with the vids I'm playing.

well it seems that the brightness actually DOES Matter...i'll make a test myself now that i am home and tell you tonight.
great stuff. I think the low brightness might be enough on a plane. Certainly the medium would be enough. If I got 3 hours playback I'd be happy enough with that. very happy.

Time Lapse Wish

I tried out the time lapse feature today and used the 2s interval, but for in-car recording 2s is way too slow resulting in video that is way too fast. I will try 1s but from what I saw at 2s I don't think 1s will be anywhere near what you'd want for in-car video. I think it would be nice if there were other, faster options, so that the video could be slower.
The problem with the slower option with in-car video is that it makes the video so fast that you get kind of sea-sick watching it and it's hard to see things of interest when driving at even slow speeds. What would be nice is we had other interval option such as: 0.67s, 0.5s, 0.33s, 0.2s and 0.1s. Since normal video in the USA is 30 frames/second (0.033s/frame) even 0.1s would still be 3X normal during playback. If I record a video of a trip lasting 60 minutes at 1s interval the video would be played back at 30X speed and last 2 minutes, but if you could select 0.33s interval the video would be 10X and last 6 minutes.
So, are there any ways some devs can look into adding additional intervals?

[Q] Record more than 30 minutes at a time.

Running CM7.1 and only get 30 minutes of record before it automatically stops. Anyone know of a program that can record longer? fyi, it isn't sdcard space, I have a 32 GB card with > 15 GB free.
thanks,
brad
It has that limit probably to protect the sensor from overheating... if you want to use your phone as a security camera, there are apps that will only start recording if motion is detected!
The other reason for the limit might be international regulations; i.e. if it can record for more than 30 minutes you have to call it a video camcorder, and there are other taxes/regulations/restrictions around that. If that's the case then you shouldn't have an issue finding a dev who has already worked around it.
As far as I know it's not to overheat the sensor but to avoid paying taxes for it as a camcorder as you said. It would be a illegal to avoid this restrinction I think

[Q] Time-lapse issue [stops recording on its own]

Hy fella's,
I have a problem recording time lapses, the video recording will stop recording on it's own as if I pressed the stop button, I've tried all types of recording, and it will still stop, sometimes after a couple of minutes and sometimes after 8 minutes or 9, seems pretty random.. thoughts?
Up....
Similar Problem
Hello!
I have the same problem, but with my Google (LG) Nexus 4: The time lapse recording just stops. However, it records up to about three hours and then just stops without me touching the stop button or the battery running low (I had the phone plugged).
Would appreciate any explanation.
Best regards,

Lapse It Pro random stopping !!
Good Evening Fellow Lapsers,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ & a Huawei P20 both with Lapse It Pro. I have turned off all apps & other possible interfering programs / services like notifications, data , wifi etc etc.
I have set the Lapse It Pro to Fully enabled in settings, I have selected the external micro sd 256 Gb storage on my Samsung which is just for photos & videos , the Huawei does not have the option but it is 128Gb & is bought just for time lapse & does not even have a sim card so cannot receive calls , texts etc.. They are both plugged into their respective charges so no flat battery issues & yet they both stop time lapsing around 6hrs in no matter how frequent the pictures are taken, 1 phone set to take a snap every 30 seconds & the other set to 1 minute & both on full sensor..
The objective I am trying to achieve is take a time lapse of 24 hours of our back garden..
Frustrating to say the least so if anybody has any ideas they would be muchly appreciated..
One thing I will try is set the quality to 1080 & see if this changes things..
Regards
Jimbo

Hung/Extremely slow music upload-walkman app

Hey guys.
I have read multiple times that i should'nt be expecting anything but slow transfer speeds of music from phone running walkman app to the SW3...but mine is rediculous. Even with the battery above 70% im getting around 1 song every 20 minutes and thats if it works at all. Most of the time it just gets stuck after 3-4 songs go over.
Ive been trying to put a play list of 165 songs over since 7pm last night and it is now 10am.
Is there i can do to fix this?
cheers,
nedmmo
Use "Wear Media" from the Playstore transfers are fast....One song takes about 1 or 2 minutes. Make sure your wifi on you phone is turned off
