Is Samsung/Google working on video issues

Newbie
Like many others, Im waiting for VZW to release the Nexus but the video issue would be a deal breaker for me. Any info on an upcoming fix for this issue?
 
If they came out and said that this was the problem they were working on (I wish), and that they were doing their best to fix it, I would understand and give Verizon/Google/Samsung props for not releasing a nerfed product. With that being said, it's probably been delayed over something pity like the whole Google Wallet thing.
 
As many of you know, there are video issues with the Galaxy Nexus, where there is some sort of wavy/distortion effect while recording video. I'm curious if this is just the case with the LTE variation of the phone, or is the problem present in the GSM version as well.

The distortion appears in shots filmed from the GSM versions. Perhaps your question should be flipped: is there a possibility this won't be a problem in the LTE version?

But either way, it *ought* to be the same hardware spec and the same code making the magic happen, so there *ought* to be no difference. Who knows for sure, though -- stranger things have happened!

This wavy distortion, was what I assumed was a bad implantation of some video stabilization. It appears on my GSM SGN.

It is software. It happened on my Moto Atrix (@720p) w/different hardware as well. If I don't have much running on the phone (low demand) the videos look fine, if there is higher demand I start to get the waviness, then the choppiness as demand increases...
memory management issue?
 
This is the first I've heard of this. I hope someone who was lucky enough to get the LTE version already can chime in.
 
Yea the wavy distortion issue is annoying... As well, trying to open the video after recording crashes the camera/media app so I could only view files on the computer
 
Definately an attempt at live stabilisation by software, GSM GN here and yeah it's an issue, but i would hardly ever move it from 720p personally anywho.

Doesn't crash my camera app either way.
 
Hmm, so they ARE employing some sort of software stabilization AND perhaps anti-Jello processing that's not quite tweaked right. The good news, I suppose, is that this appears at least partially software correctable.
 
This borderlines on deal breaker for me as well. I'm not dropping $300 on a device that can't take a proper video.

Ditto. This would be a deal breaker for me if the VZ version has the same problem unless they can correct it soon. I hope that VZ Nexus owners can chime in on this soon after the phones arrive.

Deal breaker for me as well. Especially when the SGSII apparantly does NOT have the issue.

Really is amazing that this is an issue that went unoticed after how they pimped this camera as the next greatest thing durring the launch.

Unacceptable.
 
Furthermore, I don't know whether the problem is hardware or software. I remember when the BB Tour was released on VZ, VZ tried to convice people that trackball problems were completely software problems and encouraged people to wait until the software fix. It turned out that the problem was hardware related. A lot of people were screwed over because of relying on the problem being software instead of hardware. Sometimes, the only way you can know for certain is to wait until the later batches of phones are shipped.

I can deal with some issues if I am confident they are software related. But hardware issues like this are a dealbreaker on release day even if I am not 100% certain that hardware is the problem.
 
Its definitely software. The same guy that made the video posted above, made another with different software and still recorded in 1080p and it did not have the waviness to it.

Thank god it's software related and you can just use another program to record videos!!!

This is excellent news. Now the only thing I am possibly worried about is the battery.
