FPS Dropping in low-light - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Loving this phone so far except for one thing. When recording in low-light, there is a significant decrease of fps.
I realize that the 28mm f/2.0 lens is the best out there so why would HTC pair it with such a crippling software feature???
I'd rather have the software crank up the ISO or lose a little exposure to keep the video at a steady 30 or 24 fps instead of the stuttering/lag effect.
Some of my videos uploaded in low-light areas are averaging 20/fps.
Do any of you know if HTC usually updates the camera software or if an outside dev would come out with a camera hack allowing us to lock the framerate?

I'm pretty sure this is a known issue and will be fixed in an upcoming update

full VGA recording @30fps? pls read it.

Guys i just want to know that is there any app or patch by which we can get full vga recording @25 or 30 fps.
OR
Is there any experts who can make or is working for the camera patch to get full VGA @25 or 30fps recording.
OR
anyother way to get it itself in diamond.
Pls reply and let me know if there is anything related to increase camera efficiency cause i am too much stressed because of the recording is not perfect in such a high priced phone and many of my friends got less priced phone and they are more than 2mp camera and takes good photos and good recording as camera is faster, no spooky effect, etc even though resolution is not so good still its fast fps recording and i didn't know that diamond will not be able to record and battery drainer and spooky camera recording at only 15fps.
But there is one thing the camera is totally light dependent cause in very good light or sunlight it gives no spooky effect and i recorded clips in 24.0 fps even though in half vga resolution but still good pics and vids.
So why diamond dont have camera like nokia which is better even thought the resolution is low?
Pls can somebody help or can somebody assure me that in future maybe after 5 to 6 months there will def an app or patch for it?
Sorry mods but i am replying my own thread so it goes up and some expert will read it and help out.
Nobody is interested to even read or reply in this topic.
Pls read as i know for many diamond users are suffering little like me and the phone is amazing and even camera is good but only full vga with good fps will be much better so that all buyers of diamond become by seeing app or patch to improve recording
You will most likely have to wait until someone ports the Diamond2's camera app, since the new phone supports VGA recording. However, you may still have an issue if the Diamond itself doesn't support VGA recording.
I've always wanted to see better video recording on the Diamond. I thought the reason it was limited was because the phone simply wasn't fast enough to be able to sustain a decent frame rate for VGA recording (due to the fact that on my old Touch, a rapidly changing view seemed to significantly reduce the frame rate), but the Diamond2's hardware is similar, so perhaps it's a limitation related to the camera.
in my old p3600 it can record video 15 fps in dark
but my diamond only 4 , 6 fps in dark ?!
also my friend touch daul only 4 to 6 fps
the recording in all touch series is just crap in dark

Video Recording Performance

Is there a way of getting good performance from the video on the TyTN II, when there is "low light"?
For example, if I am outdoors during the day, video records brilliantly... very smooth. If I record in the house at night with the lights on, video recording is very very jittery (but sound is perfect).
I have found that if I gradually aim the camera towards the lights the video recording gets gradually better the more light that gets in to the camera.
Thats a pretty funny question.
shutter speed ?
I would imagine the camera is combining frames due to the lack of data from the low light, effectively reducing the frames per second but providing at least a viewable picture. This is probably by design and the alternative would be a great frames per second in low light but entirely useless dark video.
Adjusting the contrast in image properties allowed me to see more in a dark room, but the motion is still awful compared to daylight video. I don't believe there is any way around it, other than turn on a light. Maybe someone does know a way to just slightly tweak it to accomplish a better a compromise, though. Anyone?
daaaayyyuuumm dude...search!!!

Camera problem.

Outside (the house), cameras works great, quality is good and about 12mbps bit-rate and 30 fps, inside however cameras lag like hell, record at 10 fps 4mbps (bit-rate drop of course related to fps drop). I think it has do do with lighting, inside a room it records at 10fps but if I point camera at a light bulb it goes to 30 fps and records smoothly.
So seems like a lot of video noise is generated when filming in dark and hardware can't keep up. Are you tablets the same? is there anything that can fix this? It's on FireOS 5.1.1.
edit: Ok, I see from this video that this is expected from this tablet. But not sure about the reason, maybe it has to do with not enough light reaching the sensor for 30fps? I have no idea what I'm talking about though. Is there any software way to increase FPS in the dark?
P.S the camera app is so bad without any options.

Every device with a camera I have ever owned works like this, including film cameras since they were invented. Less light = longer exposure, everything else being equal.

Purple-green line when recording selfie FHD+

Hi everyone,
I just reinstalled the Android 9 update on my dual sim p20 pro. When I tried to film in selfie mode with the highest resolution setting FHD+, I noticed a big horizontal line. Does anyone else experience the same glitch?
Hmm, no i dont have this but i guess this is why its called a beta update Have you tried to clear the camera cache and data?
Hi, I cleared it now but it seems to be the same. I did not have the beta update, I actually received the official 9.0.0.106 update. However, it seems to work just fine in open camera. So it seems to be a software issue for me...
Very interesting though. I just found out that if I activate stabilization in open camera, I get a similar effect but on the edges.
Wow, this phone has such garbage software. I hope this is the last thing I post about it but I just found out multpile things. First of all, all three lenses from the back are OIS capable but none of them use it except the telephoto lens, this means when zooming 3x (http://www.mobilenewsmag.com/huawei-lies-about-the-optical-image-stabilization-on-huawei-p20-pro/), but only in certain conditions. The green lines that appear on my selfie footage are from the digital stabilization algoryhtms badly applied. Also, when recording FULL HD, with 60 FPS, the telephoto lens does not work no matter how much you zoom. If, however, you select FULL HD with 30 FPS, digital stabilization kicks in for the wide lens, it crops my footage in order to compensate for the jittery movement instead of applying true OIS which it can do, and only then does the telephoto lens kick in at 3x zoom. Another "great" thing is that when filimg 4k, the crappy software also kicks in and crops my image making it much smaller than in live view, and it applies blurry digital stabilization... Worst decision to spend my money... never again buying chinese phones.

Why is video recording so much zoomed in on 1x?

I made new account just for be able to ask this. I don't know if its annoying to you but why is video recording so much zoomed in 1x, so much more compared to 1x on photo? I tried samsung, iphone even regular p30 and only only p30 pro is so much zoomed in.On other phone you can even turn off and video recording on 1x is same as taking photo on 1x. I can use wide when video recording but the quality just isn't the same as on 1x. Its really really annoying to the point i actually wanna sell my phone. Everytime i have to video something in front of me i have to step back few meters but most of the time well i just can't. I don't know if this problem is some kind of bug, error of whatnot. I thought maybe update 10 would fix this but nothing..
It's due to Huawei's implementation of image stabilisation. The camera is recording a slightly wider field of view than you actually see, but to compensate for hand movements the camera crops the frame and adjusts its position in real time relative to any movements. Each phone will do this in slightly different ways and it seems Huawei's implementation is heavier on the cropping.

Its too heavy, its too much crop. You can't even record something in front you. Its so terrible. I wish we could turn off video stabilization like on other phones
I mean, an alternative is to zoom out to 0.9x and utilise the wide angle lens, then you can video at pretty much the same frame as 1x photography - just not ideal in low light situations as the wide angle lens (understandably) can't let in as much light per pixel.
I have same issue on huawei mate 10 pro. I downloaded other camera app (named open camera ) and it works normal. I use it mostly for videos to record something in front of myself.
