Edit in Jolla Phone OS version 2.0.0.10/Saimaa (note that in the previous OS version 1.1.9. the video recording format was changed from H.263 to H264/AVC): 1) Audio is out of sync. 2) When filming rather quickly moving objects (e.g. sporting humans) the camera cannot capture enough all the time. So, it makes the video contain annoyingly many random flaws, like lost frames or distorted flashes, in the moving objects.

Edit Edit#2: The device's driver firmware was just downgraded as it was 1.0.0.30 in 1.1.9.28/Eineheminlampi but it is now 1.0.0.11 in 2.0.0.10/Saimaa. Could it be related?

Edit#2: The device's driver firmware was just downgraded as Jolla Phone (JP-1301):

1. Audio is out of sync. Codec/driver/firmware problem?

Jolla Phone (JP-1301):

1. Audio Affects Jolla Phone, Jolla C, Intex Aqua Fish – and also Nokia N900 already (with or without extracodecs, can't remember).

   Severe. About half a second misalignment.

   How to reproduce: For example, take a pencil and start filming as you tap your desk with the pencil repetitively, with slow and fast variable patterns. Watch the recording and you can see that sound and video does not come together. If needed, verify by using VLC Player's slow motion and synchronisation adjustmentment features. It happens both when phone memory as well as memory card works as a storage.

   Interesting, related topics to be up-voted:

   • ambient noise cancellation theory

   • MSameer comments about the camera cannot capture enough all the time. So, it makes the codecs in use

   • stuttering video contain annoyingly many random flaws, like lost frames or distorted flashes, in the moving objects. Will get better by new, more powerful devices?
