video recorder on the Maxx

[DJSD]

Every time I record a video, it saves it at a side view...any suggestions

[bruben7886]

I remember a thread awhile back about taking video in vertical position. This made the picture a mirror image of what it should be. I'll search......gimme some time.....

[DJSD]

I did in fact record in that position and had no luck. I also had a friend root my phone with super user and SQLite Editor. SU won't update to the latest version saying that root access failed. I no longer access to Hotspot for some reason and I'm not savvy enough to understand what can be done with a rooted phone. Is there any way to remove or un-root? Thank you in advance for your time and patients with this newbie!

Not a problem.....
First the video issue. Not sure if this is what you meant, but here's the link I mentioned

Movies I take all play back upside down

Now.....as for the rest....I'm sorry I'm not the guy to help as I seldom root or flash anymore; however, tismydroid or sydman or some other flashing/rooting authority will be by soon to hook you up. I wouldn't want to post guesses or misleading advice.
Be patient and continue to bump this thread about once every other day to keep it at the top. You do this by posting "bump". Word of warning....please don't bump every hour....not good form.
Welcome to the forum! You picked the right place to ask for help

Thank you very much!

There is a camera app called "Camera ICS" and it's much better than the stock camera app. It will record in vertical mode or horizontal ... but I'm pretty sure playback depends on what app you use to play the video. I have "Quickpic" installed in place of the stock "My Gallery" app for pics, and if I play a video and turn the phone it plays it correctly either way

Also, while videotaping, you can tap the screen while it's recording to take a still shot. I really like it better than the stock camera app.

Thank you very much!

Anytime!
Oh...MattyP, regardless of the raucous avatar, retains recognition as one of the resident rooting resources.
Sorry...just depleted my brain of words that start with r

[DJSD]

I will check out the cameras! Thanks a ton. Any advice on the rooting thing?

Droid rescue hero time

Please understand that I am recovering from surgery in the past few weeks....my brain is a tad fogged from pain meds.....
With that in mind (clear headed day!).....
Go to this thread

Droid RAZR Utility 1.8

and download the utility. Do option number 1. What it does is restore the phone to like-new. It will remove all traces of the crappy root attempt.
Things to remember:
1. Read the when dang thread first. You may then have the solution ahead of time for any prob that may come up.
2. Back up your pictures and music and texts and messages you wanna keep.
3. Read...... I already mentioned it......but you'd be surprised.
4. Follow the flash with a factory data reset. (Settings, privacy)
5. After reading and searching, if there are any problems you can't figure out (not anticipating any...this utility is fool-proof) please feel free to post. As I mentioned before....you picked a great forum to get started on.

Best of luck. Let us know how it turned out.
