i just bought GS I9000, its with 2.3.3, i see the camera has lag, when i click it takes around 2 seconds to capture, it annoying and the picture quality is not good at all, its so bad than my 2MP iphone 2g camera
its okay to have a screen collapse like iphone 2g, but the lag looks horrible
could some one tell if we can fix using a custom ROM, will the vodoo lag fix help on this, or if older firmware was better, so that i can switch back to that
i really need to use this for taking many pics and mail them, (child pics) so everytime i take a pic either its distorted or lagged
please help with your suggestions

So which version of Camera is best and includes the ability Auto Focus, i know there is Low FPS problems and thats a hardware thing, but i just want to know the best version of camera available, Thanks
I will respond since no one else seems interested...
Ironically, I am using the default camera app right now (4.x I believe). I tried Nadavi's 5.0.4 for several months, and it seemed faster than 4.x, but I eventually realized that auto-focus was really crippled in that version as well (half-press of the button to focus, but full press causes a re-focus before the picture is taken, which always causes me to lose the shot).
Long story short, 4.x doesn't seem to have the problem, so I decided to stick with it for now. Plus it takes pictures at a decent speed when the lighting is adequate.
Short answer... you cannot expect a Hyundai to win a Nascar race. Sure it will drive around the track, and if you want to do 500 laps with it, no problem, but it ain't ever gonna be the right tool you need to win.
The camera on this phone sucks, it has serious limitations. If you want to take a picture of a significant event, bring a stand alone camera.
I agree with the previous poster, the default camera software is about as good as you can do.
I am with you about the half press and full press problem , but i get over it by making the option of taking the photo is press half press only and it work so well.. its auto focus then take a pic with no blur at all.. i am using this ver attached. so well in TYTN II .
also now i can take photos using the front camera with it .

I quite agree, but I need to mention that the camera on EVERY phone sucks. If you're buying a phone because of the camera, that's waste of money. You can't expect this tiny bit of lens (more than ten times smaller than the ones used in real cameras and of dubious quality) to produce anything but lousy images. The problem is not with the software, but with the CCD and the lens.
I have this phone for about 6 months and I haven't taken a single picture with it - I prefer my Pentax

thank u man for you'r help
Hi guys. Recently I've noticed a bad camera problem with my IncS. You see when I open the camera app ( on MIUI's ROM ) it lags pretty badly. When I point the camera at one direction, and move to another, it lags. But if I repeatedly click my menu softkey button while moving my camera around, it doesnt lag at all. Does anyone know a fix to this? Thanks in advance!
oh and I restored back to the original ROM I had running which was the official htc's latest rom for the IncS and the camera works fine. no lag issues. Seems like when I flash AOSP roms, the camera lags. help?
I find any AOSP rom has laggy camera in low light
When I take it to better lighting conditions the lag goes away
You're not alone mate
I think it has something to do with trying to take in as much light as possible when there is not enough
@markj338 yeah I actually thought that that might be a possible reason to its horrible lag, so I took it outside this afternoon at around 12pm. It was bright but still the lag was there. And just to be clear, its no ordinary lag. It's like if i point at one place, it shows that place, but when I move my camera away, it waits for around 10 seconds before it shows that place. If you get what I'm trying to say here.. Sorry for the horrible english. But yeah.. that's the problem :/ thanks anyway appreciate it.
Oh mine only lags a bit
When I move, the image will be slow and distorted and will take its time to focus
But not 10 secs, mine is like less than 1, its just choppy and distorted
I'm on CM 7.2
Mine could probably be classified as 'ordinary lag'
Like if you were using a crappy low range phone
What rom are you using, and does this happen in all lighting conditions?
@markj338 well right now im back on my sense rom. the official one. I restored. But I tried miui's rom, cm7.2 and the camera's the same. When I click the menu button repeatedly, then it's ok. but if i dont click anything, it lags a lot....... so yea
Strange.
But I do find the sense camera to be the best
hi guys i know this question is bit annoying but i would like to know if this is possible to make our camera when taking picture to continuously focus on a object and when i change the camera position it automatically focus on object, i notice that when im taking picture using o2x it took almost 3seconds sometimes 5-6 seconds to focus and that's really annoying, specially when im taking a picture of me together with my friends our smile is fading before the camera focus itself perfectly and i believe if this feature include on our camera it can take photos much faster
i saw a youtube video o4xHD vs o2x i dont know if thats the video but from what i saw o2x camera taking some time to focus but the o4x it continuously taking picture quickly when touch the capture button on screen
so is there a possibility to make this mod in our camera so it can enhance the capturing time
are you on v28 ics?
v30 ICS camera is 2x/3X faster with everything you do with camera app
and v30 does have better flash photo's (not overexposed by flash)

I agree. May be not quite 2-3 times faster in my experience, but definitely faster. And yes, flash also works well. It may not be a very typical usage of a phone camera, but today I had to make a couple of photos of printed pages (very small font, about 6pt) with a flash in a poorly lit room, and the quality was well beyond my expectations. Perfectly readable text, nice contrast and minimal noise, with no editing at all.
yes im on v28, good to hear but is there any possibility to mod our camera to take photos much faster without focusing 2-3 seconds everytime i took pictures? i know our camera hardware is not design like that but it is possible?

a camera that is not focusing make blurry pix.
however tap the screen to focus manual and then take a picture reduces the time.
first thing you might do is install v30 ICS because it has a faster cam

There seems to be issues with focusing on objects on the 13MP camera of this new X.
I was trying to take some snaps in really good lighting of my old Moto X so I could throw it on eBay but I just couldn't get it to focus at all. In the end, I had to enable the object mode.
I agree. I have the same problem takes forever to focus. That is really the one big let down of this phone. The camera sucks. My friends new Iphone 6 which is only 8 mega pixel takes way better photos..

it is sad, because the LG G2 has the same problem, after a while with an update to kitkat they improved focusing speeds, but still not close to being fast.
ANd new motoX uses the same camera chip that is in the G2.... allthough with some modification to camera software through custom roms and camera firmware, it gets better.
When and if someone will mod this camera is a question... so sad to hear this as I was planning on getting new motox, as i own the old one now and its an amazing smooth phone with bad camera...
It really is a shame other than the camera I love the phone. Switched from nexus 5 cause I wanted an amoled display
I'll download the Google camera app to see if it's any better.
If not, I might get in contact with Motorola about it being a defect to see if they help.
Y'all know there's a setting to manually focus right? It puts out a crosshair that you drag around to adjust focus wherever you want in the viewfinder. Very handy, the entire experience makes more sense now.

Yes this is the only way to get any focus. The normal camera mode doesn't really focus properly which is more my concern.
Camera Zoom FX
So first thing I did upon getting this phone was tried take a bunch of pictures. I am a heavy phone camera user (I have cats), but I realize the drawbacks of using a camera on a phone. The stock camera is just terrible, even with the focus cross hairs. It just takes pictures whenever you tap the screen and I am not cool with that, especially when I am trying to take a close up shot. I messed with lighting etc. no luck.
I tried google camera. Still eh. Google camera is better though.
I decided to try Camera Zoom FX and it works really well. Pictures are amazing in comparison to stock camera.
Overall, If you are just taking landscape/scenery shots then stock camera is good. For anything close up, try Camera Zoom FX.
With focus control activated it works good for me.
Hi, when I'm using the stock camera software on my up-to-date, non-rooted A2, with the front facing camera, many times, it's impossible to click on the "taking a picture" button right after taking a picture, it's like frozen for half a minute or so.
It's very annoying since my gf is obsessive with taking different angles of the same photo, and it keeps us smiling like stupid for a long time without being able to take pictures...
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Edit: I think that a viable workaround may be an app that can take high quality picture with the front camera, and is able to take a few pictures in a row (I downloaded some, but some of them shows me the picture after taking it, instead of going back to the camera screen, and some seems to lower the quality of the photos compare to the stock app).
Many thanks!
