Well, I tested it again. This time had even less success. Recorded the first video and went to play it back. Got a "There was an error with the video file" message and it didn't even show a thumbnail in the list. So I tried to record again, but this time it didn't save the file at all. So I switched from HD to SD in the settings to try. Once again, would not save the file I recorded. Uninstalled and reinstalled, trying all previous efforts again only to wind up with the same results.
*edit* I did update before the initial retrys.
With Samsung Galaxy SII It should automatically switch to lower resolution now and record just fine. This is best I can do without having physical device on my desk for testing, I hope it helps for now
thanks, you helped me quite a bit as otherwise I would't even know for sure thee was a problem with sII's.
