      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! πŸ‘πŸ»

      How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

        @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. πŸ™‚

          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.

                          @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. πŸ€”

                                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. πŸ™‚

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

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

                                      @opolork Sure πŸ˜ƒ 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.
