First You have to turn On Yi camera and use usb cable from phone lets say because that one that you got with camera I think can't transfer data.

Yeah, that is exactly what I did, but the
computer cannot see it. It says "unknown
USB device" in the list of mobile devices.
 
If you have try some other usb cable...

Yes, I tried that, too. I switched three cables, one
from Samsung, one from Sony and a third from
an unknown brand.

Weird.

That's the point. My card is fast enough to support 35mbits. And moreover I've always used custom firmware and never ever had this issues. That's why I posted the issue.

At the beginning I also had this "issue" but as already said is solved using another usb cable, cause embedded one is only for charching..

The problem is, I used three different USB cables,
one from Samsung, one from Sony and an unknown
one.

Also, I tried it with two different computers: one
workstation with Windows 10 and one laptop with
Windows 7. On both I do not get a connection to
the camera with microSD inserted, when connecting
with any USB cable.
 
Did you try to connect YI OFF to PC (so it start change) and then switch ON? It worked with stock firmware?

I can try this now, but I think I tested this, already.

I went straight to your custom firmware without ever using the stock one.

Btw, charging works normally. I will test now with turning it on.
 
Alright, turning on after connecting does not work, too.
 
I'm starting to think is microsd port the problem, try to flash stock if it doesn't work either, and you tried several usb cables and different PC is microsd port on xiaomi the problem, you could buy a cheap card reader for couple of euros...

Alright, I bought one on eBay for 4 € and later on today or tomorrow I will flash the current untouched firmware and test again.

But if the microSD is failing/dead, shouldn't I worry about more problems coming up later? I mean, I received this Yi just days ago and I guess, I can have a refund or switch devices.

I bought it on eBay, luckily from a company in my country, not China.

But yeah, I wrote them first about the faulty USB port and asked, if they
can send another Yi until August, 30th (because vacation) or what they
can offer me otherwise.

If they offer me some money back, I will probably take it and use the
microSD externally. If they offer me another device, then I will take it,
as long as it arrives before my trip. 🙂
 
I have number Z221xxxxxxxxxxx, what build I have to flash?
 
I have a general question regarding the video length:

I did a 12 minutes video and realized, that it was cut at
7 minutes and 59 seconds to be precise.

Is that a standard setting and can I change that somewhere?

My SD card is a fast one, I think:

* solved by using Ximode 2.1

Hi guys my second yi came with z25l s/n number and 1.3.0 firmware there is no that kind of version and firmware on the official site I aks them for more information here is the answer
"Hi there,
Sorry for our late reply due to time difference. There is only one firmware version that comes with the camera for model Z25L. It doesn’t support other model’s firmware.
Best regards
Yi support"

Do you guys have more information about this model and firmware and is there a way to use 35mbps also I need this firmware for the XIMODE scripts right now I cant use any script
 
I think my last timelapse video with the Yi made some improvements thanks to the update. But cant see how

 
Guys, I am back from my first holidays with this
cam and I would like to know from you, which
programme are you using to cut your videos
together now.

I will cut them down to a small 30 seconds film with
some music, at least I thought that. Any good
hint for a programme to do that?
 
Hi sYCO, welcome back! but damn man, why clutter up a firmware thread with video editor requests? Dude. I started a conversation with you with some links, but if you'd like more feedback, maybe post (and read) in the Managing / Editing Videos subforum?
