I like my nexus 6 camera's quality of photos but am a bit frustrated with the time it takes to start up, especially from the lock screen. Part of the problem for me is that sliding left from the kick screen often doesn't work. It offers to unlock instead. Sometimes after trying and failing to go straight to camera a couple of times, when I eventually unlock and then try to start the camera it informs me that the camera has crashed. I use Chroma now but had the issue while on stock. I predominantly use HDR+ mode (I leave it on all the time) Any solutions anyone?

I just got the sprint version of the HTC DIAMOND Sunday, and this is my first WM device. Warranty is still good as well.
My problems:
1)
When trying to take photos or videos, the zoom constantly moves in and out regardless of me not pressing a thing (For example, when i open the camera, the zoom constantly moves from 1.0-2.0x all on its on). I don't know if it suppose to do this or not, but i don't think so. The same thing goes for viewing pics and Opera as well, it zooms back and forth without me touching a thing.
2)
Sometimes it seems as if the "end" button or buttons on the right of the center button,doesn't respond well. I try to hold it down to lock my phone, but it takes several tries in order to this. Maybe its just me
3)
Iv'e read that the center button susppose to act like a scrolling mechanism, but i dont think mine does. Has this feature been disabled or something?
Its a nice phone, but i think mine has a couple of bugs. The zoom problem really annoys me, because i cant take pictures with the camera zooming in and out constantly. Please help..
When using opera Or the camera rotate your finger around the center button(stay on the outside of where it raises)
With the end button try to press it on the far bottom right(as far from the center as possible.
I think the center as a scrolling thing has to be enabled

Make sure when you are in the album or camera, your palm isn't covering the scrolling "ring" around the centre button, as this could be causing the zooming problem. If all else fails, hard reset.
Also, for the buttons to the right, make sure you are almost at or close to the edge of the diamond. if you are close to the center button, it may be acting as a "right click" (as the area to the right of the center "scrolling ring" is a "right" button).

thanks for the info, but when i say it zooms without me touching it, i meant that literally. For example, right now im looking at a pic in my phone. The phone is literally just laying on its back while I'm typing this message. Its constantly zooming in and out of the pic in real rapid movements. Could it be the screen protector that came with the phone? (But then again, it only happens when I load the camera/camcorder,search the web, or view pics) I have it on, but i didn't think that would be the cause. Anyone else encounter this problem? Maybe I should just do a hard reset, or maybe return it. IDK
Sorry to hear...
I have the screen protector on that came with the device, and mine is working fine. Try a hard reset, let me know if it works

I had GPS problem since a member posted a fix for GPS fast detection. I tried, and ended up being not working at all.
Second the problem is worse. After taking a video.. randomly this problem popped up.
I can take pictures, but it only shows previews before taking picture when it starts up, then freezes once camera loads.
Screen doesn't show what picture I am taking, but only the frozen picture at the start up of the camera. (IDK how to explain better)
But when you take the picture, it actually takes the photo of what you are trying to take.
On the video on other hand, I can start it. It stays on 0:00 and I cannot press pause nor stop. Only way to get out was pressing home button, but no videos are recorded.
What rom are you using?

I had the same problem with the camera and came here to see if I could fix it. While the page was loading on my pc, I rebooted the phone and it took care of the camera freezes
It has been a few months now and I have dropped my phone a few times since then, although no noticeable damage. Few things that occur:
-Sometimes auto-screen rotate does not work and I will have to restart my phone.
-When I take pictures, the result of the photo is turned a different way and I would have to manually rotate the photo back.
-Sometimes when I take a picture in superior auto mode, it gives me a 1 shot burst. I'm not holding it either. Restarting phone solved this problem.
Two issues that have been around since I first got my phone:
-I have more wi-fi issues with my Z1 than my Z. It often drops signal.
-Camera button sometimes does not work while phone display is off.... however I believe the kitkat update fixed it as I no longer have issues.
When in auto mode the phone anyways made the pictures as burst shot for me, it didn't matter when it was only just one picture.
And about the rotation issues, don't you disable rotation (if not, try enabling and dialing it next time it won't rotate) ?
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore
I also have the rotation issue, sometimes when I play a game that relies on tilt, it doesn't work until I restart the phone.
Also my compass and magnetic field sensor do not work, is anyone else getting the same problems?

for the wifi issue, make sure u uncheck the "avoid poor connections" option in wifi->advance settings
Its annoying seeing the focusing disk appear every 2-5 secs when it tries to auto focus. How do i turn it off? Can't find options in camera settings. I want it to only focus when i touch the screen. Thanks.
this was annoying me a lot too this morning, when i was trying to take pictures of my Note 3 to sell it. on top of the constant "focusing", it was damn hard to manage to get an in-focus picture of the phone! hopefully we can find a way..
It's a known problem. Maybe an update from Samsung will address it.

If you friendly with a Dev they can mod the apk for you.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
I am not sure if anyone has encountered these problems too but the Android 10 updates have ruined the phone for me.
Bugs I encountered and that I haven't found a fix for:
The keyboard annoys me to hell and back because of the gesture controls. I have been using gestures before Android 10 and I had no problems with the keyboard, but now the whole bottom area of the screen is like a mine field. It happens at least 3-4 times everyday to write something and when i hit space it would bring me to home screen and/or writing next letter in google search.
Not only I can't properly use the keyboard, but I can't long press the emoji in FB Messenger when the keyboard is not opened, it would just bring me back to last screen (it sees it as a back gesture). Basically can't interact with bottom buttons in most apps that use portrait mode because the phone sees them as gestures and it's driving me nuts
Since the update I had to restart my phone about once a week because of different bugs regarding Bluetooth (it would turn off and refuse to turn back on without a restart), sometimes the camera refuses to take more than one photo before the shutter button becomes unresponsive and I have to restart the app (to be able to take only one more photo) or restart the phone to fix the problem
The phone sometimes freezes and becomes unresponsive, requiring a forced restart or a normal restart if i wait 1 minute to open that option menu for turning the phone off. Also, it won't turn back on automatically and won't turn on for the next minute even if i manually hold the power button.
All these only occurred after updating to Android 10. It was a dream phone like my S7 edge was before updating to Android 10.
I wanted to switch to iPhone but I was amazed by the fact that my S7 edge had no problems during the 3 years I've used it and I decided to continue buying Samsung phones, but now I am seriously considering switching to another brand that uses Android (that I can't think of, keeping the same performance and build quality besides Huawei which is in a weird spot now) or permanently switching to iPhone.
I'd appreciate it if you knew any fixes to the bugs I listed above, I found nothing. If not, what can be done about these?

Samsung doesn't update own system apps from 2 months, and bugs listed by you are the inevitable result of this lack.
When Samsung will release a more heavy update (400MB or so, and not only 100MB of Google security patches) all these problems will vanishing, and anti-rollback protection will be restored.
P.S = Yesterday I've encounter a bug on Reminder app, that generate a Force Close (two times) when I tried to set a pre-suggested date.
