The video recording on the Fairphone 2 is atrocious.

@opolork Sorry for you, and it's true that it's very frustrating not being able to perform an action that seems basic. But the fairphone 2 being almost outdated, you will need a miracle for this bug to be resolved. Miracles happen but it will be better to think about investing in a more recent maintained model. And there is everything to gain from being able to follow the wave (of innovations).

It is not about how long a device has had a UT port, it is how active it is being maintained.
Hi. That's a fair point!

@domubpkm Hi. I rarely record videos, so will stick with the FP2 for a while longer. The camera photos function works fine. I'm not a big user of smartphones - much prefer a Desktop PC with a keyboard & mouse.

Why the strong words in the post title then?
-
@arubislander Strong words? The video recording is indeed atrocious. I'm just telling the truth.

Hello @opolork
For info on my FP2 (with OTA-22), the video recording is working well, quality is good. -
@aloys Hi. You may have the better camera module. There's 2 types. BTW, does the torch/flash work on your FP2?
-
@opolork, yes I have the last camera module (the one with 12MPix). And the torch/flash does not work.
-
@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? -

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.https://github.com/Intrinsically-Sublime/UT-Backup-Restore-Scripts

@redxxiii Thank you.
