N70 Video Recording problem

[params7]

Video recording on high quality stutters and lags, the resulting video also has many pauses and lags.

What is causing this? I'm using ADATA 1GB memory card. Used Samsung 1GB memrocy card beofre and there was the same problem.

The problem is fixed on the immediate format, but after some time I get installing some programs, music etc, the video recording then again starts stuttering.


Anf fix for this????

I have the exactly same problem, with N90.
I tried using every single MMC uncorrupter on the internet, nothing works, just like he said, after a while installing programs in the MMC, the sluggishness starts when recording video.

I see this happens with Kingston too.

I was really hoping this could be fixed. I don't mind recording the video while the screen is slow, but when I watch the video I can't have any lags, come on.

Hi params7, IDoSI! Welcome to Nokia Developer Discussion Boards!!

Please note that this is Mobile Application Developer Discussion Boards, Nokia end user products support questions should be addressed at Nokia's online support sites http://www.nokia.com/support not here in Forum Nokia.
Also there are some localized product support forums and one that is monitored and where you can get attention and solutions http://discussions.nokia.co.uk/discussions/. If you post your concerns there you may get a response from there.

Thanks for the reply balagopalks, the fact is that I've been searching all over the internet for people with the same problem as me. Unfortunately I found many of them, and yet Nokia haven't done anything to calm us down. I already posted in the Discussion boards and sent them feedback, but I got no reply.

As I found params7's post in this forum through a search engine, I thought I should post and bump the subject to see if I got some reply from some experienced users and maybe some more attention from Nokia. All I wanted is to be pointed to a fully working MMC for my N90.

I understand this is not the correct forum for that, and I apologize.

Thanks for the attention

If you are still in trouble, may be you should check with a Nokia care center and try updating the firmware.

Okay, I contacted Nokia India Care via Email, researched a lot, and here's my understanding.

The problem is caused by the quality of the MMC, it has something to do with it being a 'fake'. Kingston has recently released a 2GB Rs DV mmc. I know guys who have bought this, box packed and Legit, 100% real and sealed, and guess what, butter smooth (full framerate) video recording for those guys on their N70's and '90's even with around 1gig already filled up.

Here is just a part of my 'research' :

^talks about places frm where you can supposedly get a legit MMC.


I am now almost 100% sure the problem is related to the MMC being not original. If you bought your MMC from Ebay (sellers like Flashman), off any regualr shop of the street, there is a GREAT chance you have not bought the original item.
I also tested the 64mb RS DV mmc which came with my N70, I filled it up to its brink, with around 20 applications, and 40mb of songs with only 4-5mb to spare. The recording yet went smoothly even on highest quality with sound on.


Though I can't confirm this, and would definitely like further input (from Nokia themselves if possbile). As to the thread being in the wrong section, I apologize, please shift the thread to its appropriate section.

Well fact is I already upgrded my phone to the latest firmware thanks to the new software released ny Nokia to help users upgrade their phones at home instead of going to a Care Center.

Please note, That they also sent a list of Official Nokia MMC's and their current price in Indian Rupees (Rs.), it was uptil 1GB. I don't think its much of importance, but if you want to know, please post here.
