Grainy slow motion video

Has any one else has an issue where the slow motion video quality drops of completely? I know it drops to 720 which is fine but it looks like a feature phone shot it.
Thoughts?

Slow motion video requires the phone to shoot at at least double the normal shutter speed. Consequently, the shutter is not open as long for each frame and less light can get to the sensor. It's still just a cell phone, not an expensive stand-alone slow motion camera so quality is going to take a hit, especially in lower lighting conditions and at slower speeds. That's my understanding/intuition at least.

I can understand that thought, though I've seen a ton of test footage on YouTube that is far and away better than what I'm getting. I'm thinking it could be software related on my end, I just don't want to reflash anything unless I have to.
