I'm having some trouble with 4k video on the N5X specifically slow launch and responsiveness as well as videos being corrupt or failing to save correctly. The phone slows to a crawl after shooting video and camera then fails to launch either with the stock camera app or any third party eg snapchat.
Anyone else having similar issues or does anyone have any suggestions?
Many Thanks

I just noticed that when try recording 720p video on my SRF 1.1.0 Epic, it FCs at around 10 seconds. I seem to recall reading on here it could be an SD card issue, but before I go and reformat my card, I wanted to know if anyone had found an alternative solution to fix the problem.
Rarely use the video camera, so it's not the end of the world having this issue, but it'd still be nice to get it fixed for when I do need it.
Also, it seems to work on lower resolutions, just not 720p.
Almost like my SD card can't keep up with the data rate of 720p video.
EDIT: just occurred to me I didn't mean FC, it just says recording failed.
Hello,
Yesterday I purchased the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch for Virgin Mobile (SP-D710VMUB). I am incredibly happy with the phone so far, however when I downloaded Instagram, I discovered that recording video caused the phone to freeze, and eventually restart on its own.
After searching for the problem, I saw that some LG users had a problem where only the front facing camera would record. I thought I'd give it a shot, and the front facing camera works perfectly. No freezing or crashes. I also so the post about the Epic 4G Touch where users had to disable 'Use Instagram's Advanced Camera'. After disabling the option, I am unable to select video, and am only able to take photos.
Nothing else seems to cause freezing or crashing in Instagram, only taking video with my rear camera.
I am running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I am not rooted, and the phone is completely stock as of right now.
If anyone has any information, or any idea as to what may be causing this problem; any advice would be much appreciated.

Here is a link to an Instagram apk. I would try it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332178
Just delete the instagram app you have installed...download the instagram apk. from the link and install with a file manager..( es xplorer/astro )..to just list a couple...any file manager/browser will work. No need to be rooted..so don't worry about that.
That being said..I do not use Instagram..So this is just a guess on my part...Read through the whole thread..( I just skimmed )..Could be other users having this issue as well and might have a fix..But from what I saw..it looked to be working.
Thanks for the reply! I tried the apk you linked (v4.1.0). Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. However, I did discover that it isn't freezing and crashing immediately when pressing the record button anymore, but instead when I finish recording a video.
If you are using the 4G Epic Touch, could you please install Instagram and attempt to record video to see if you have the same problem? I'm not sure as to whether this might be a problem with my phone or with the Instagram app.
Thanks again for your reply.
EDIT: I noticed that the phone's buttons remained responsive for a short time after Instagram froze. I was able to hit the home button after it locked up following the recording of a video. After making it to the home screen, I was able to go back into Instagram only to find a still frame of the video I just took, and black bars in place of the Instagram UI. Android soon reported that Instagram wasn't responding and allowed me to force close it via the prompt.
I don't know if this information is relevant or helpful to anyone, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

ill try it later..as of now im downloading 4.3 gapps for a new rom on my gtab 10.1...
But to me it sounds like an app problem...
Thanks, if you don't get around to it, it's no big deal. I appreciate your help. I agree that it sounds like an app problem, although I am curious if it happens to all 4G Epic Touches.
For anyone that has this problem, I worked around it by filming a video with the stock Camera app, and then going into Instagram and uploading that video from the Gallery. It will go right into the Instagram video editor, and you can proceed as normal.
So, I've had this issue for a while now and have just dealt with it for the past year. I've searched to see if others have experienced the same issue, but haven't found any posts...so here it goes.
In 3rd party apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, when the camera first opens (front and back camera) everything looks normal. Once I take the picture however, the pic turns 45° and stretches the picture. I actually first experienced the rotation issue in Periscope. Everything is rotated a whole 180°, not usable at all for live streaming.
Has anyone else experienced this at all and a perhaps knows of a fix?
I have factory reset my tablet twice to see if it was caused from an app I previously installed; yet still happening.
Samsung Tab S 10.5
SM-T800
Running 6.0.1
I've had this same exact problem with sending screenshots to people.

nobody seem to care! :'3
anyone? any opinions? :'3 no?
Are you referring to the issue of having to manually select the video quality every time you play a video on YouTube? I've been experiencing the same before I have OnePlus 3.
There are several ways I've tried to fix the issue:
- Switching accounts
- Using a different phone with the same resolution
- Switching to a faster network
- Upgrading / downgrading the app
- Wiping app cache / data
Even though some of the above did fixed the issue for quite a while, it then reverts back to selecting 480p as the default quality. I found that faster network tends to cause YouTube to select 1080p as default, but this behaviour is very unpredictable and can happen even on a slow network.
Hi!...really need some help!
Had phone for 1 year. Generally no performance issues. Over the last month or so, the camera app has started to play up.
1. It takes ages to load
2. The picture stuters/freezes when moving phone in pictures or videos causing delays in snapping and/or jumps in recordings
3. It can no longer focus on things at near distance.
I did a factory restore and think it was okay right after (didn't test it properly). Have since reinstalled most of the same apps and went to use camera today and same issue.
I installed adobe camera app and it works phone so don't think it's a hardware issue. Seems more like something is interfering or maybe a bad update.
Don't want to have to use a seperate app for videos too. Saw some others mention similar issues in the forum though not exactly the same and no resolution (no pun intended). Anyone experienced this and fixed it?
