[Q] Laggy JB camera? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody!
Is there any fix for the choppy and laggy JB/ICS camera?
Im getting so mad waiting it to open up. It takes sometimes like 15 seconds, and Many times I lose the opportunity to take the photo.
Even the video freezes the first seconds, and when I play it from the camera app, it goes choppy. But if I view the recorded video without opening the camera app it goes flawlessly.
Are there any alternatives ? Thanks!

[Q] Extreme stutter on front camera

Anyone else experiencing this?
Back camera is fine, but on Google camera, stock camera, camera apps like Snapchat- incredibly laggy front camera. Like 1-2 fps. Video and picture mode. Tried HDR on and off. Starting a video recording will kick it back into normalcy, but as soon as it ends recording, the preview goes back into stuttering. On Snapchat, the recording is stuttered.
Im having the same issue

My back camera is great. But when it comes to using the front-facing camera its absolutely awful. A few frames per second and relatively delayed. Very grainy as well. I got much better quality on my s4....
Exactly! But then sometimes it's perfectly fine. Can't find any specific reason for it. I did notice that the stuttering improved when I was in a bright environment...? I'm perplexed. Never had anything like this happen with the S3 I was using.

I've noticed the same thing. Front camera works fine with lots of light but the FPS drops to **** as soon as it gets a bit dark. Not even too dark to see, just not super bright. I think it should be able to get fixed in a software update. Wishful thinking at least.
Wait till 5.0 drops we will probably have to just deal with it till then
On my Moto Maxx XT1225 i had the same issue.
On kitkat and even now that I'm trying soak lollipop, very very laggy
Only happens on low light conditions.

[Q] HTC One M7 camcorder crashes after 2:09

This has happened multiple times now; I'll be filming a video, and it freezes right after 2 minutes. The app crashes, and the recorded video cannot be played in any apps. Is there a way to fix this problem?

Severe camera issues

I've had issues with the camera since day one. Using apps such as Instagram. The video in zoomed in cropped. The video is so choppy and stops towards end. Even now using just the camera app the videos are extremely slow and choppy and over contrasted. Filming at night is impossible. I'm guessing I will have to wait for an update but it's absurd that I have this great phone with a camera that's useless. I've tried factory resets and different camera apps. No luck. Please help.
Is no one else having issues with the camera?

most of times it works ok
it happens quietly without any errors
anyone had this issue?

Mi9 camera issues - 1080p 30fps stabilized video recording freezing.

Hello people, I have my mi9 since 3 days and I really love it. It's a great phone, but today I found wierd bug in camera app. I recorded with 1080p 30fps with stabilization on. After few seconds of recording phone freezes, but audio recording is still going, after a while it resumes. Video like that is kinda unusable. What's more when I'm in camera app on video tab sometimes it freezes just on viewport, without even recording. Does anyone have similar issues? Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a link to bugged videos (I'm new so I can not use link tags yet, sorry for inconvinience):

This may be too late, but I had similar problems with the camera app freezing when image stabilization was enabled at 30fps. In the end I discovered that some sensors were not functioning at all (gyro, magnetic, light and compass); My guess is that at least first two feed info to the stabilization algorythm.
I managed in the end to solve the problem by flashing a xiaomi eu rom from twrp.
