Hi,
I've got the Samsung Galaxy S21+ since release day, Exynos, UK unlocked.
I am noticing that when I open the camera app on the normal settings, auto setting and on the standard lense it takes a good 10-15 seconds to actually focus.
I've tried clearing cache for the camera app, clearing all data for the camera app and I am on the latest available software update for the phone.
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar? Has anyone found a fix?
Thanks,
Dan
Same, even changing portrait to landscape takes a solid 3s, it really sucks
Same here. Camera takes a while to focus, upward of 10 seconds and shutter lag is obvious.

Hi folks, it seems to be a rare issue but it is drving me crazy every time I use the camera.
I am on stock not rooted kitkat 4.4.2, the issue is only seen after update the google camera to the latest version with the new ui change.
Now every time I launch the camera app, the phone could hang up for 1 to 3 seconds without doing anything (low possibility). There is a guarantee (100%) that the phone will lag for more than 2 seconds when I take the first two photos in normal mode (the screen just freeze at the time when the photo swiping animation takes place after hit the capture button). Also, it is very often to see the similar lag when I browse the recent photos in the camera app.
I tried to reinstall the latest update; clear the app data + cache, but neither works for me. Now I just go back to the old camera, all the freezes/lags are gone!
Please can anyone suggest some possible solutions? I really like the new camera ui. Thanks!

My new camera app is pretty buggy too actually, random freezes, etc...
I think it'll get better with time.

For some God forsaken reason, the camera in my N5 is a pile of crap. Let me list the issues:
(Note I'm using the stock Google Camera app and have tried CM Focal with identical results).
Switching from Rear to Front camera takes a stupid amount of time, usually winds up crashing the Camera app altogether.
Switching from Camera to Video results in a grey bar, 1/10th the width of the screen, spanning the entire length of the right side of the screen. The app usually crashes after this.
Videos usually can't record, the screen freezes, forcing me to hit the back or home button.
When videos do record, they're corrupt and cant be played on any windows machine or in any program.
Sound quality is laughable. (wasn't when I first bought the phone with 4.4.2 on it)
Snapchat usually can't even launch the camera and asks to restart the app. Usually results in me having to reboot the phone.
When the camera does work in Snapchat, pictures come out fine, but switching cameras usually reproduces the issue mentioned above. Videos, however record only 50% of the time. The times they dont, the screen freezes, resulting me having to restart the app.
When videos do actually record in Snapchat they have about a 50/50 of being unable to be played back, resulting in the error message: "Can't play this video".
On rare occasions, using the camera in Snapchat results in the screen flickering rapidly for a few seconds and then the phone reboots... The last time this occured it wiped all the data to Facebook, Snapchat, and EvolveSMS.
These symptoms exist in both Vanilla KitKat 4.4.4 and CM11 (Snapshot M8). Yes, I have reinstalled Snapchat. I've also tried toggling on/off HDR+ to no avail.
My Camera is basically useless and it's extremely annoying. It has even caused crashes that have wiped data from my phone. Hardware related? Software related? I'm really at a loss here... Any help is appreciated.
Well first try a complete fresh install to see if it's just software related

Factory reset, wiped case and dalvik, freshly installed CM11 last night before bed. Same symptoms exist as they did before.
The stock camera crashes when I:
-enable RAW
-select slow shutter
-select a shutter speed of 2, 4 or 8s in camera settings
The annoying part is that I have to reboot every time to fix the camera as it seems to be unable to connect again after crashing. Is there any way to fix this without rebooting? There is a play store app but it doesn't work.

Is this with the new update that came out today?

Question:
Stock?
Bootloader unlocked?
Rooted?
Custom Rom?
Custom Kernel?
Any tweaks to the device other than stock?
I'm just curious...if stock users are having trouble, or is it just the tweakers?
Have you tried a factory reset? And as above, any mods or running 100% stock?
Rooted with stock rom and stock kernel. Clearing the camera cache doesn't help.
I'll try a factory reset as some users don't seem to have the bug.
I've noticed that too. I've also noticed two more things:
- 4k UHD + RAW = bad time. As soon as I hit record it gives me a black screen, I stop the recording and it freezes. I have to force close the camera app to be able to do anything with it again. Oddly enough, 4k DCI works fine.
- Slow-mo video + RAW = choppy. The video seems to be playing back at a super low frame rate. Everything seems to have a lot more motion blur too.
Using raw any time there is low light results in camera crash as well

rooted, with stock everything. after taking 8 sec slow shutter, when saving it lags, then black screen then crash. then when i reopen all the menu still there but black screen. anything i do from there it will just crash.
I have the same problem as the poster above.
Any clue?
The other problems described here were correct with the latest update.
Anyone with anything on this?
Same issue here. Will it be fixed ever?
Yep, this has been a known bug from day 1 bro.
Just to put my 10 cents, same problem here even in Auto mode.
This is the only issue I have with my phone now. Hoping CM12 fixes it.
Hello, in CM12, as says Spectre, camera works well, but is there way, to fix this problem in latest official CM13.1, or Lineage14? Thanks much
edit: well, sorry, in CM12.1 problem still here, seems aka HW problem... overheating?
No working solutions? ((
Hello I was wondering if anyone has any help with issue I started having with camera, it started closing it self after 2 seconds of opening. I tried clearing cache, restarting phone, and clearing apps permission and can't seem to fix the issue! I noticed that if I turn off Bluetooth the camera doesn't closes and works with no issue, any help would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to factory reset phone. Thanks
Did you recently update your phone?
On my N8 and Galaxy Tab S4, the camera app would crash, so I installed Open Camera. Really enjoyed using Open Camera on both devices, so I also installed it on the N20U.
I always use open camera because a couple of things, record video while on call and flashlight while picture because spammy doesn't know how to do either, way too complicated for spams ham. yet open can can't quite focus as good as spam, well I can only guess it's because spam hoarded stuff away from other cam apps, sounds like something spam would do anyway.
never seen the stock cam close after couple seconds those, does alternate can app work?
Anyone else having terrible problems with their Find X2 Pro since installing ColorOS12?
The camera works maybe 1 time in 5, the others it loads and the horizon line moves, but the picture doesn't update and I can't take photos.
Other apps are regularly hanging or crashing back to launcher and the phone has rebooted itself twice
It's it possible to downgrade from 12 to 11? My phone was perfect before and now it's unreliable as hell.
Turning off the extra 3GB of RAM in storage (Developer options) appears to have fixed it!
I have experienced random freezing for a little while now, maybe since the last system update but possibly already since before that.
Another thing that happens is that swiping my home screen left or right does something completely different, and swiping from the top edge down to bring that quick menu also fails sometimes. These things were rare though, mostly it was random freezes that was bugging me.
Today it got so bad that I found this post.
I tried the 3GB option, the jury is still out. So far so good.
Also, I have a different Oppo than you: I have the Oppo Reno 5 5G.
I'll try to report back in a few days.
I have a problem with the autofocus in 4k30 video mode (and live HDR). It is cleary slower than on 4k60 mode and doesn't focus well.
Plus sometimes when i shoot 48MP mode with ultrawide lens i got this result :
