My camera starts only very slow since I have rooted my device. Only root with Lollipo 5.1 no custom rom.
When I click to open the camera, a black screen pops up and I have to wait for 5 seconds until I can use the camera.
Same when I want to use the flashlight in the dark. It takes 5 seconds for it to start and 5 seconds to turn off. When shooting a picture after the camera has started, the flash works normally.
Another problem I have is, when shooting a picture, I have to hold the camera very calm because I found a setting to change the picture quality to "High quality, slow shoot" and this affects the speed when taking a picture. Unfortunally this setting seems to have gonne. I upgraded to Android 5.1 and since than I cant find it anymore.
Has anyone a idea what could cause these problems?

The autofocus in the camera is annoying as hell. It keeps readjusting itself and when it reaches the point of sharpness it goes back to blurry. Now my question is - is there a way to make it hold the proper focus, or set it manually? Or is there an alternative camera app with these functions?

In recent weeks i've also searched a solution to the problem but nowadays i think's it's not possible, it's an Android limitation.

Just got my red N5 and ive noticed the same thing more or less. its like if i click the shutter button it will focus then unfocus at the last second before taking the picture. other times it just doesnt like to focus lol. id say that probably half of my photos come out burry. I know when the N5 first launched it had camera issuesbut i was under the impression that those were fixed for the most part.

Press and hold the shutter button should cause it to hold the focus. You can then release it to take a picture.
How to old a "proper" focus however, I have no idea.
You can tap to set your target focus. It will continue to auto adjust as it sees fit, however.
I've always had issues getting cell phone cameras to focus because of how easily they can shake but the OIS seems to help me get a good focus for 2/3 HDR+ pictures.
If you're using HDR+ it needs to stay still for a longer period of time.
EVERY time I take a photo running the stock camera app, if flash is enabled (auto or manual), the phone saves a picture file a split second after the flash is back off-resulting in a dark photo saved. I have turned on an off HDR with no change (thinking it would be affecting the timing somehow).
The only way the flash is of any use is if I start to record a motion video file (with flash on the whole time) then touch the screen to capture still photos. Then the photos are lit up perfectly.
Has anyone seen this before? Any tips to fix?
I have had this issue on two Droid Maxx phones now. one unlocked bootloader downgraded to 4.2.2, the other with rooted on 4.2.2 (shipped with camera update firmware, disabled firmware upgrades on purpose to prevent 4.4)
Same thing often happens to me. It isn't every time I use the flash, but probably 75%. Once it does this crazy flash thing, then the camera no longer zooms properly until I close out of the program and reopen. It happens with the stock camera and 3rd party (camera360).
My phone freezes while trying to take a photo. Focus is also not working. The only way to wake it up is to switch off and on the screen by on/off button. Any ideas what is this about? No root, updated to last version...
While recording a video focus is also not wotking.
P.S. Front camera works perfect.
Damn you, I can't post link to video that shows how does it look because I am not a flooder...
OK, phone was returned and received back with camera changed. It was hardware problem. Not at all.

Hello
I have bought a new OP7 Pro and I updated immediately to Android 10 beta 2.. no my smartest move apparently.
When I'm trying to focus in the dark with the main camera app just by tapping the flash does not turn on at all.. and if I try to take the picture the flash turns on and stays on like a torch not by flashing for a fraction of the second like a normal camera on any smartphone.
First I thought it is a hardware based problem and I should return the phone / I still have 10 days to do so.
Then I've installed a different camera app called LG camera and surprise! Tap to focus in dark environment turns on the flash and the camera manages to focus also when I tap to take the picture the LED only turns on to .1 seconds and works normal.
Tried a version on Gcam and it doesn't work either..
I tried the following:
- cleared data and forced stop the main camera app
- factory reset
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
