Is anyone else is experiencing camera lag when opening the camera app. It's so annoying and I'm curious to find out if anyone else has this issue and if there's a fix for it? I'm with Verizon if that makes any difference.. Thanks everyone!
Pretty quick for me using Edge Sense.
Fixed with the latest update.

Fixed with the latest HK/TW update but I think that patch not yet available on Verizon carrier so you will need to wait a bit more time....

Okay. So I probably should keep this phone... I'm actually waiting on HTC to send me a return email so I can get a new phone. I wasn't sure if it's a common occurrence in other U 11's. Even with a new U 11 the camera would probably still lag..

I'm not having problem launching the camera app, it's when I'm already in the camera and I move it to take a picture but it lag on whatever is on the screen after I launch it.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Are you talking about squeezing to take pictures, or pressing the on-screen button to take pictures? The squeeze has a delay, someone said it's because they want to avoid the motion caused by the squeeze before taking the picture. For the on-screen button, I don't see much of a lag.

Same for me...
1.13.401.1 ROM and firmware
Me two but it's less with the newer update
1.13.401
The update supposedly fixing the problem is 1.16, as reported here and in the following posts, not 1.13. It's not available in many regions yet.
Is HDR on? That will cause lag. Google it for an explanation.

I'm on 1.16 with my HK U11 and after that patch the camera is now much faster but I've no idea why they push the OTA lately to the America regional.
EDIT: https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/htc-u11-updates-thread-t3618362/page13
#121 and #122 said US got 1.16 update now including Verizon carrier.
1.16 on my stock U11 has totally killed the lag.
I'll likely update my rooted one once the firmware is available from the US update. The camera app is the same build FWIW

I'm also experiencing lag in the viewfinder. It's not all of the time, but occasionally when I fire up the camera the viewfinder stutters so much I can't see what I'm taking a picture of. The photos take, but it is incredibly frustrating. I'm on Verizon and this didn't seem to get fixed with the last update (.16).

Hi there,
Recently i've updated my Nexus 5 to Android 4.4.3. (from stock 4.4.2 rooted)
Every time after updating to 4.4.3 my camera sound is horrible (like it's recording underwater).
I've used zip files (after wiping) to flash without any succes.
When i used my backup of 4.4.2 the problem was gone again. So the hardware isn't broken or anything.
Now i've sideloaded the official factory image (4.4.3) after a full wipe and still the problem exists.
How is this even possible? Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks for helping in advance
PS: i've contacted Google but their e-mail in bad translation didn't help me. They told me to do a factory reset lol

Thanks for your reply man! I really thought i screwed up my phone somehow without knowing it.
Do you know by any chance if there is a way to fix this? This topic was hard to google/search since I only got stuff about the previous camera bug. Or maybe my "tech English" isn't sufficient.
The issue is ongoing. We thought 4.4.3 was going to fix it but evidently not. There are no other real fixes

I never had this issue on previous android versions and I've had my Nexus shortly after the release. I honestly think this is a new bug but I could be wrong.
If there are no fixes I need a new phone or my money back.

The noise cancellation bug has been around since day 1, when I got my N5. Not everyone notices because it acts differently depending on the environment the videos are recording in. It also effects calls.
There's no fix right now. Try and get your money back if you like.

Yes, this is new bug, no discussion. I've made more than thousand vids with my N5 so I'm familiar with "old" sound bug, but this new one wich came with 4.4.3 is much worse than issue from previous one and make my Nexus completly useless as camera.. It sounds like underwater.

It's the same bug alright. I have no doubt. Perhaps it sounds different to you on your phone because they made it worse.
I can say with a strong degree of certainty that it is the same bug though, because the "old" bug you refer to was due to a poor noise cancellation issue. This bug went away for me when I fitted a slickwraps skin that covers my noise cancellation mic. ...and after upgrading to 4.4.3, I still don't have any issues whilst that secondary microphone is covered. My videos are as expected.

It's much worse that it was.. As I said, my Nexus is now useless as digital camera.. Or it was useless, because I've flashed 4.4.2 again.

I think it's a similar bug, but new.
Going to flash 4.4.2 again cause I need my camera.
I've sent another email to Google. I'll put the reply here.
Thanks for all the replies everyone! Hope someone finds a solution.

But how come it wasn't there on my 4.4.2 or as you described it, wasn't hearable?
I am a music producer. I always use my phone to film my latest creations to send them to friends via whatsapp. Never had any issues. First was good, now it's absolutely useless. I film exactly from the same spot in my studio. There should be a way around to get the sound back from 4.4.2 right? Some custom rom or whatever?
Thanks for all your answers man!
Hey guys, I currently have an S6 and want to make the switch to the Z5 but was wondering about the lag while in camera.
I was at the store today and noticed when you're using the camera it lags moving it around. Do you guys experience this or was the store demo just not updated?
Any additional thoughts from anyone who has switched from the S6 to Z5?
I just tried right now, definitely no lag here

Yeah the camera lags or skips, more so in low light. Just the interface though and pics come out fine, albeit they take a bit to save sometimes.
If you're talking about framerate, yeah occasionally it seems like the framerate in Superior Auto mode is a bit low and choppy.
What version of the camera apk are you experiencing lag with, v2?

I have version 1.0. Any way to update?

Yes, xevious was on the ball. I was meaning to say framerate. It seemed to drop when in camera just moving the phone around.
Is this and image preview lag the same?
Such a long stretch from Z1 which had a 60fps preview.
Anyone else noticed considerable shutter lag? It always pauses and captures what happens a split second after the screen pauses....

It s Software Issue but it can be in application layer or maybe lower level.
When Camera Detect the light it needs process to show Preview
this can be lag in that process.
try another Firmware

Hi all,
With the release of the newest update to OOS, I am wondering how peoples real like experiences are with the new version.
Reading patch notes gives only a certain amount of information.
Apart from camera improvements, has there been any significant affect on things like system performance, battery life, etc?
Is it worth updating if currently your phone is working well?
Thanks!
I haven't gotten the update yet. Tried VPN with location Germany but will have to wait I guess
everything works well for me, no big difference to be honest. no battery drain, good performance. i couldnt notice the camera improvements yet, but i didnt do a real analysis
if you want to have the update earlier, you can use the app "oxygen updater".

Some people are complaining, but people complain about every update.
It adds Google Lens if that matters to you. Camera seems about the same to me but I don't take a lot of pics with my phone.
Most important is that this one contains the 7/2018 security patch. That's enough of a reason.

Lol ok I know people want the security patches, but c'mon man, how many of you ever got hacked on you phone from some obscure exploit? I would stay on a slightly older security patch if it meant better battery, better camera and overall a better performing firmware. The security updates are good to have, but most of the time they aren't really doing a lot.
I updated. No major changes to be honest. I think the camera performed fine for me today. Not enough time to assess battery life but that will take a few days.

Hi,
Decided to check for updates manually today and was surprised to find that the new update was finally available for this phone that includes the camera update!
I installed it but haven't noticed much of a difference. I'm not complaining, as I liked the camera from the start.
However, one thing I did notice with this phone is that when you take a pic at full 48mp, if you zoom in, there are artifacts in the image. The problem is that it seems this new update made 48mp pics significantly worse! Have you guys noticed this? The same aluminum/bar-like artifacts are there but the images themselves are significantly degraded in quality.
Let me know if guys experience the same or if maybe I'm doing something wrong when taking full, uncompressed 48mp pics in pro mode.
Thanks!

I had to get a new OP7Pro due to the back glass cracking on my first one. Since receiving the new one, I haven't installed the TMobile 9.5.6GM31CB update seeing as it does nothing for our device. If someone else confirms that this latest update messes up the photo quality, I will continue to hold off on updating until it is resolved.
Thanks for reply. The other strange thing is that when checking for updates, it still shows the same security update from April and not this latest update, even though I got confirmation it installed successfully. Very strange.

So the 48MP mode that you are referring to is the Pro mode, and 48MP JPEG, correct? If that's the only thing that takes a hit, I may update from 9.54. I never navigate to that mode to take a photo so this may not be a bad thing for me personally.

Currently downloading the new software update on UK Exynos with April Security Patch. Hopefully this fix's alot of issues we are having! 1.3gb download.
At least the GPS issues, the audio sync issues and my wifi issues seem to be fixed
Let's see how this firmware holds
Yes babyyyyyyy
AVCJ - 1400MB almost - HUGE!
Same update here in Slovakia. Have to find any difference yet. I hope that Android Auto got fixed, gonna try tomorrow.

Today i've get on Romania update for S22 Ultra Exynos model and after this update settings button from camera app doesn't work (camera force close without error). I've tried to delete cache for camera app (problem was still there) and after that i go to fastboot menu (poweroff, connect cablu to my laptop, power on + volume up) and there i reset the cache partition and then accessed the last option "fix applications". Now settings button on camera work again. Before was ok!
PS: second problem was with S-pen... in middle of the screen doesn't receive any input (aprox. 10x10mm was disable but with finger work without any issue). This problem disappeared after I restarted the phone.
