The video recording on the Fairphone 2 is atrocious.

@opolork, yes I have the last camera module (the one with 12MPix). And the torch/flash does not work.

Opolork

@aloys Hmm. That's the same module as mine. I recall that the video recording was not as bad years ago.

@aloys same for me and don't remember problems with video recording.

Hi. I wonder why my video recording is so hit and miss then.

@opolork not an expert but maybe an hardware problem? Or... did you tried to re-install UT doing "wipe-data"? (don't forget to backup before!

Hi.

I did a reinstall. See here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6897/issue-installing-ut-stable-over-old-ut-dev-installation-solved

Yes, perhaps that's the cause.

@opolork OK great. That was not easy but you succeeded How is your video recording now?

Hi. No, I meant I did a reinstall a while back. I've not changed anything. I will just use the video recording feature rarely. I don't want to reinstall everything just to fix that.

@opolork OK, I understand… But maybe there is nothing more that could help. Maybe the next time the reinstallation should be easier

Possibly. But I don't fancy having to reinstall loads of apps and tweak settings again.

@opolork Sure You should have a look at these scripts, they are very promising. I already use them when needed, and they are very useful. I hope that could be useful to you also.
