Howdy all! I am having a lot of fun with the new Osmo Mobile 2!

I have been testing it with an extra phone I have here, LG G4, and was hoping it would work well with the Osmo.
When it comes to time lapse, no matter the duration - I always end up with a 1-2 second output.

I have the lastest version of the app, and have tested using .5 at my settings. In free form mode, I left it to record for 1 hour, ended up with a 1 second video.

When I use select .5 along with 10 minutes, or any time interval, I still end up with a 1 second video. The screen shows that it is recording, but the output files are always the same short duration.

Does anyone else have similar experience? Is my extra phone just too darn old to work with the new osmo?

Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!

Sorry that your smartphone is not in our compatible list, so the compatibility may not be fully guaranteed. But just to verify, does your phone have enough memory? Have you tried to re-install the APP? How about shooting Time Lapse with another phone? Will the issue persist? Thanks for your input in advance.

Thank you for the confirmation!

It’s happens to me 3times already spend hrs catching time lapse only to find them not there afterwards it sucksssss I’m using iPhone 8 plenty of storage already

I love the timelapse function in the OP - especially hyperlapse.

I have the same problem with my Note 8 using Android version 9.  It just won't save to my device.

Any update on this issue? I have spent several hours making time-lapse on sunsets and not a single on have been saved to my device. I'm getting frustrated!  Are the developers working on it or is it put on the shelf to be solved sometime next year or never?

Hi There

Same issue here, Note8 SM950F, Android Pie.  Videos and Pictures save fine, TimeLapse only about 1 out of 5 videos save.  this is on internal storage, as well as a class10 UHS3 microSD card.

Tried deleting app cache, and all folders with DJI name, and reinstalling the app from the google play store.

How can we submit logs or assist with troubleshooting/debugging to help resolve the issue?
Osmo Mobile2 FW 2.2.0.30
App 3.1.52

I just bought the Osmo Mobile 2 and I'm disappointed as my phone Note8 is on compatible list and still I can't save any hyper-lapse to my phone or card. I try to reinstall and clear cahe give the admin permissions and nothing. Currently the device is useless for me. I contact your support and no help at all they say we will contact you and nothing. When you planning to solve it as is not for what I paid?

Found any fixes yet? It's already been about six months since none of the motion lapse saves even though there's 30+gb of storage space left for both internal and external. It's especially frustrating to have a gimbal that cant save files after all the time spent waiting for the motionlapse to finish.

I'm currently using the note 8 and I think the whole problem started after upgrading from Android Oreo 8.0 to Android Pie 9.0 since it used to work fine before but not anymore

I have a feeling this issue is dead.

Typical. I bought the Gimbal and a Note 8 planning to do Time Lapse videos. Spent a month capturing different sunsets and cloud-motion. Ended up with only 5 clips that were hardly worth using. I'm glad I did the movie for myself and not a client.   I was also in contact with support and didn't get much out of them.  

I'm very unhappy with DJI at this point. Very very unhappy!

I have the same problem with Galaxy S8.

I`m experiencing the same problem with the OSMO Mobile 2 and Samsung S8 - it only save the lapses in 720p. It ruined some really cool lapses by not saving them. Battery optimization tip did not help. The support is useless too. Contacted the support and an half an year later - still no fix. At some point they have stopped answering the request.  Still regretting buying a product from DJI.

It's 2024 and this issue still exists. It's completely unacceptable. This post is from 2018. How has DJI not solved this yet? There's been many updates the past 6 years, how has the timelapse fix not been in one of the updates? Get your ... together DJI! I have tried taking many 1 hour timelapses, that looked absolutely beautiful as they were filming, but as soon as they stop, they don't save. Fix it!
