I saw other postings about problems with videos not saving correctly but after seeing "Iphone is better.. blah bla bla" I'm not in the mood for those so here goes. I am having the same issue with my droid x. I love the phone and the OS but the camcorder is pissing me off to no end. Whether it records and saves a video file that can be played back seems to be more a matter of luck than anything else. I can have 600mb free on my card and the camcorder may or may not save the footage. And we're not talking about footage that will be 250-300 megs, just footage that may at the most be around 100mb. The message always says "ERROR: file cannot be displayed or played." Also the still camera sometimes has it's own version of the same issue only it may have a delay of about 7 secs before releasing the shutter.
Last night I tried warm booting twice by cycling power and it did not help. So I tried removing the battery and on the second attempt it worked. Having to remove the battery is really annoying but it is a computer so I understand >>sometimes<< having to but not this often.
Any suggestions? I have disabled the task killer that came with the phone in favor of letting the OS take care of that function.
I really hate to take the phone back since I have really customized it and since I got it in December I'm sure they'd give me a refurb and certainly not a new one.
FWiW I had a BB Tour prior to this phone and it had no video issues.
Am I expecting too much from the Droid X?
