Hi, i am having the strange issue with video stabilization on my note 9. It started after receiving one of the software updates. The issue is that on certain video resolutions (for me it started on 1920x1080 and 2224x1080 at 30fps) video is cropped and zoomed in as you would expect but the saved video is still shaky. Funny thing is - when i installed Android 10 the issue didn't go away but instead note stabilization doesn't work on 4k and works on 1080 now. I have no idea what's going on and the service center charged me $160 to fix it, but that's quite a lot.
Has anybody faced anything similar?
Can someone please check on your phones if shooting in different resolutions with stabilizer turned on results in different stabilization effect?

Hi,
I just got my brand new op3 2 days ago ... updated to OxygenOS 3.2.6 as soon as I configured. Restored my apps from google play, all normal.
So far is an awesome device, but at least mine has one annoying issue when recordin video in 1080 resolution not being smooth.
When recording in 1080 resolution , the result is a jittery video .. seems it has some kind of lag.
When recording on 4k or 720 .. then is fantastic, and this drives me crazy because I allways use to record in 1080 mode. Tried with stock camera and Open Camera with same results .... done this test a lot of times.
Does anyone have the same issue ?
Here a 2 sample videos where you can see it clearly:
1080 ... see especially on sec 0:20

4K .. same scene on sec 0:12
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPqE9IgepZk
Have done this test lots of times with many different videos ... allways 1080 is not smooth at all.
Could someone make a little test to see if also happen to you? record a video at 1080 and similar at 4K
I found these videos in youtube of someone testing 1080 recording with OxygenOS 3.2.6 ... and also seems not smooth:

Regardless what some people might say (because they don't see it), everybody has this issue with 1080p running OxygenOS 3.2.x.
This issue persists since the OP3 got released and there is nothing we can do to manually fix it.
In my opinion the OIS simply does not work at all when using 1080p
Some say that this got fixed with the recent community build 3.5.2 which also introduced 1080p 60 fps recording.
I can't comment on that because I never tested this build.
Same thing here, 720 and 4K are OK, but 1080 is jumpy.

Fixed, installed OxygenOS 3.5.2 Community Rom and problem is fixed !! ...
For some reason I get some kind of severe lag when recording video, especially noticable during camera movements but it's there all the time. You also hear the chops in the sound. The problem is worst in 1080p, it's a bit better in 4k. 1080 gets the choppy lags in all 3rd party apps I've tried as well as in the stock app, very frustrating. Changing the bitrate doesn't seem to affect this issue much, it's doesn't get less choppy at lower or higher bitrates (in Open Camera).
Video stabilization and noise reduction and stuff like that is turned off across the board as far as it's possible since I use a gimbal and do all processing in post. And yes the video is choppy with or without the gimbal, it makes no difference for that.
At first I thought it had to to with bad support for the 3rd party apps I use but then I realized the problem is just as bad or worse in the Huawei photo app, which of course produces bad video quality in the first place but that's another issue.
Recording in slow motion on the other hand works fine, cranking up the bitrate to the max and recording in 120fps in open camera with manual focus produces the best slo-mo quality 1080 footage I've seen a phone do so far. So I know for a fact that the phone can produce good quality 1080p footage, I just can't make it work with normal frame rates for some reason.
Anyone else had this problem? Is my phone simply malfunctioning or did I do something wrong? I'm on the 131 firmware version, firmware finder also lists the 131a as compatible, could that solve the issue?
Any help appreciated.

I have this issue in 60fps
When I revert back to full stock it's fluid and works as expected.
Once I've rooted and installed twrp etc plus a few apps it starts to get laggy, I don't use 4K so don't care..30fps 1080p is what I use most and it's perfect..just annoying that 60fps doesn't work as it should..really annoying.
At total stock it should be fine.
I also use a magisk module called swap torpedo which eliminates the use of a swap file, not sure if that matters or not.
Also I've seen this issue present on all firmwares
In which app do u have this issue?

All apps including Huaweis own.
I've contacted support and they say they'll try to find out what the problem is with my choppy 1080 video.
Obviously that doesn't adress the absurdly low bitrate limits and lack of support for advanced functions in 3rd party apps, which are simply limitations of the p20 pro for now, they said they are aware of those issues as well and looking to fix them.

Ok so may have a fix for this.
I'd previously changed device resolution to HD from FHD changing this back fixes 60fps video, it makes sense that it would offer the same for the other issues you've been having.
Check it out its under Display.
About the laggy video, I just looked into this issue and found something really interesting. When choosing full HD resolution and shooting a video, I find it laggy. But when choosing FHD+ 2160 x 1080 p, the video is amazingly smooth. I suspect that when you choose FHD, the phone is doing some downsampling which causes a huge load on the CPU and makes it laggy while FHD+ does not cause such a big downsampling, because of the 2160 width, which is the native 4k height. Maybe someone who knows more can confirm if what I'm saying is actually true. The kirin 970 does not seem capable of proper processing power like it is advertised.
I have te same issue. FHD 30fps is horribly stuttering, while FHD 60fps or 4K are ok. Do someone found a solution to this? It's incredible that the most powerful and advanced camera phone at the moment have this flaw!

Hey, did anyone find another fix for this? I changed my screen resolution and it makes no difference, still getting laggy and choppy video.
Hi guys,
I have just recorded wedding speeches and the video is choppy as hell at 60fps. The audio is fine but video isn't. Any way I can salvage the clips?
Thanks in advance
Hello people, I have my mi9 since 3 days and I really love it. It's a great phone, but today I found wierd bug in camera app. I recorded with 1080p 30fps with stabilization on. After few seconds of recording phone freezes, but audio recording is still going, after a while it resumes. Video like that is kinda unusable. What's more when I'm in camera app on video tab sometimes it freezes just on viewport, without even recording. Does anyone have similar issues? Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a link to bugged videos (I'm new so I can not use link tags yet, sorry for inconvinience):

This may be too late, but I had similar problems with the camera app freezing when image stabilization was enabled at 30fps. In the end I discovered that some sensors were not functioning at all (gyro, magnetic, light and compass); My guess is that at least first two feed info to the stabilization algorythm.
I managed in the end to solve the problem by flashing a xiaomi eu rom from twrp.
Strange enough, I've found only one person (below) other than me complaining about jarring ultrawide 4k videos recorded on S20 FE. I wonder if this is a hardware issue or a glitchy image stabilization that can be fixed via software update. Is anyone else having the same problem? Because of this, ultrawide 4k recording on my phone is pretty much useless.

I played with a demo unit at Best Buy. Although I was not able to move it freely, it didn't seem to have the issue. Mine may be just defective.

Are you recording to device or SD card?
To device. I noticed later that "video stabilization" was on in the settings when I recorded ultrawide 4k videos . I don't have the issue after turning it off, so I suppose the hardware is fine. EIS may not be optimized yet. Hopefully the upcoming One UI 3.0 update includes better EIS.
With my previous phones (S7 and S9+), I found video stabilisation did more harm than good. With the S21 Ultra, it actually does a very good job stabilising video when moving.
However, I've disabled video stabilisation by default even on the S21 Ultra now. I rarely record video while moving, so there isn't much benefit in my context, and there can actually be a lot of "harm". One example of this is when recording video with the 10x zoom lens - I've noticed significant "wobble" effect when switching to this lens. It's hard to describe, but it's as if the whole picture/video is "wobbling" and distorting when using this lens. This only occurs when video stabilisation is enabled and only with the 10x Zoom lens (I think I may have noticed it on the 3x Zoom lens a few months ago too). When disabled, this issue goes away.
Can anyone else reproduce this? You may need to test in different lighting conditions - I find it's most noticeable with outdoor lighting. A separate issue is what I would describe as "micro-jitters" appearing when video stabilisation is enabled.
Same here, I don't recall having this issue when first purchased.
This was always present for me. And I always thought it is normal...
