In this case, I think this app can help you in some way: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraicsplus&hl=en
Let's give it a try and see!!!
maybe some app is slowing you down! check them!
I had exactly the same issue. I recomnd to change the camera application. Ucam is allegedly a good application.

My camera is working just fine. Maybe you have bad hardware?

Lagging here also. Btw people OP is asking about lag in the app when you move around the camera not the normal camera guys....

Exactly. It really starts to bog down when I'm in the dark.

Anyone ever find a resolution for this? I absolutely love this phone but I'm a hardcore user of Snapchat since everyone I talk to uses it for communication and this is ridiculous. Almost makes me want to switch phonese. Does it still work this way on CM/stock tons maybe?
i believe its just the hardware itself the sensor is trying to get more light in and it makes it lag i think (im no expert on cameras) as soon as i got a nexus 5 i noticed how much smoother everything seemed in the view finder and right now i just compared them it just seems to be the way the htc one is
Snapchat uses the camera app that comes with the phone now

Mine is occasional lag.
Same problem on mine, makes videos almost impossible with low light, my Alcatel pop s3 is extremely faster on snapshat. Is there a way to fix the problem ?

beware from the nexus 4 camera app

Okay this thread should be in all android phones forums... My brother have the htc sensation xl and he installed the nexus 4 camera app on it (without root and everything just install.. and it have the 4.3 camera interface) so today I was shooting some pics from the app and I Received a viber massage and when the viber popup showed up the camera closed and I entered the app again it says "can't connect to camera" just like the n4 tried to enter the stock sense camera and even not working until I restart the.phone please get another camera app because this stock app cause hardware problems to my n4 And the front camera is not working... Thank you for reading...
It was probably your phone's hardware problem, not the camera app, since it is just copied from s4 GE ROM.

works perfectly here, and the new 4.3 camera app has been working without a single issue. the htc sensation would need a camera app developed for it to work perfectly on it, the sensation and n4 do have different hardware. plus its not a hardware problem for you, its a software problem if a reboot fixes it.

I think he means that even after reboot the camera doesn't work. But I don't think this is a camera app's fault

It is working fine on my N4. I have been using it since it was leaked. It is not surprising to hear of issues with the Sensation due to the HTC framework. Remember, as it is, it was pulled from a Samsung rom.

i dont know, he said.. "and even not working until I restart the.phone", which is a typical way to fix a camera software glitch. deleting the data from the gallery app works if its a data corruption issue.

if it was a hardware problem the front camera should be not working from the day i bought it ... but it was working :cyclops:

What the hell, why are you on the phone to LG for a replacement? "Cannot connect to camera" means the camera is in use, be that from a anti-theft software, to malware, or just another camera app..

The interface for "4.3 camera" was first leaked on the N4 running 4.3, but when the GE devices came out, they had the "4.3 camera" preloaded
Did you try a factory reset before returning?

Same happened to me on AOKP latest nightly, but with stock camera.
On previous phones, and various ROMs also happened once or twice, so i guess it's just some litlle bug, and definitly not hardware issue, but maybe Android itself
The app crashed and it was still connected to the camera. If you'd gone into the recent apps list or the application settings menu and killed it, it would have fixed the problem. The Android OS only allows one app to connect to the camera at a time as outlined in the SDK Documentation. Even the stock camera apps do this from time to time with third party apps (like Instagram) that also use the camera. No big deal.
He's probably worried it's related to prism wanting his smurf pron, spying on him randomly.

Well I had too many of apps that use the camera and in the beginning the can't connect to cam it was not a big deal to me but when it started to show up every time I open the cam from the lock screen... And when I switch to f-cam it not working I tried fac reset
and another rom and it still ...but my question. Is when I get back the n4 which camera app do i use... I'm afraid from the stock ...

I'm talking about bringing it back to total stock. Make a nandroid back up first then use easy nexus toolkit and bring it all the way back to stock. It could be a driver issue or something like that or some kind of a conflict caused by an app or something.

The stock flashlight toggle or a separate app? Im thinking you may need to just let it cool for a while. Using the camera LED for long periods of time aren't a good idea as they can be damaged (from whatv I've read before)

Yes, but you should flash factory, and relock. Follow the guides in the sticky roll up thread in the general forum.
