Slow Camera Capture on Whatsapp - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I noticed that my Oneplus 3T camera is very slow at taking picture from Whatsapp. The camera doesn't capture instantly after I press shutter button. There is a noticeable delay after I hear the shutter sound, sometimes up to 2 or 3 seconds! I have tried same Whatsapp version on different phones and they seem to capture instantly after I hear the shutter sound.
However if I am taking picture using camera app there is no delay at all. I am experiencing this problem since the first time I am using this phone.
I am using OxygenOS, rooted, stock kernel/franco kernel (doesn't matter, happens on both kernel).
Is there anyone having this problem? Or is this a known Oxygen OS bug?

I have the same issue with an unrooted stock phone as well!

Same here with my config

So I've updated to OOS 4.1.6 few days ago, still not getting better.

Problem with using One and auto recorders like dailyroads voyager/autoguard blackbox

I just purchased the One and tried both dailyroads and autoguard black box. I notice that it gets REALLY choppy when it's dark out. This did not happen with my nexus 4.
I notice that when i'm in the htc camera app, the viewfinder is also choppy when it's dark out, but when i turn on video recording, it's smooth like butter.
It's almost like dailyvoyager and autoblackbox are recording from the camera viewfinder rather than going into the camera's recording mode to record video. Does anyone experience the same thing? Is there a fix?
Try VideoReg. I prefer it over the two you mentioned. I have noticed that often when it starts up the preview will not be automatically in focus for some reason, so go into the settings screen then back out and it works. The developer is getting a One and has a beta that makes the One's HDR video mode available. Should be some good stuff on the way in a month or two.

[Q] Clicking noise when using zoom on camera, poor sound on call

I get a clicking noise when using the zoom function on the camera, when I play back a video you can hear the click every time you zoom in or out, bloody annoying and really loud. I had a xperia mini pro that did the same and never even thought of trying the video mode on the Z3 till recently, ( had the phone 4 weeks). I also get very low sound when receiving a phone call, bit disappointing. has anyone else noticed these issues?

About the clicking noise, I think you're just hearing the focusing mechanism.

Yes I think you're right it could be the focusing mechanism, re when I had the xperia mini I'm fairly sure they released a patch or update which fixed it to some extent. Thanks for the advice :good:

[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.

very odd shutter sound bug

Hi,
I have really odd bug on my nokia 7 plus.
Whenever I press the shutter button under poor focus or low light conditions,
It sounds "Be-be-be-beep". and it's very annoying me.
I think this must be a software bug, because I can't hear this odd sound in beauty mode. (same condition)
I don't care shutter sound itself, but this shutter sound is really odd.
I already did factory reset and reset settings several times but nothing changed.
Of course, I'm also using google camera app, but I prefer to nokia camera's color and bokeh effect.
Does anyone have solution? Please give me some tips.
P.S. I can't make a link because I'm rookie here, you can find my video by searching "Nokia 7 plus bug" in youtube instead.

Whatsapp Camera issues following Oreo update

Hi Guys
Updated my Moto G5S Plus to Oreo 8.1 a few days ago using the commands on XDA. All is working great however I have an issues with WhatsApp, isolated with its Camera.
When I try to do Video on the Rear camera for video it seems to "zoom" in and I cannot zoom out. Its like jumping to max zoom and getting stuck.
With the front camera it seems to be VERY dark, the preview I see when recording video looks good, however when it plays back before sending its almost 100% dark, as if the light was never on?
Ive tried disabling the default camera, reinstall whatsapp all the usual stuff. I would assume if this was a widespread issue with the Whatsapp or Oreo update there would be more threads on it however I cant find anything.
Anyone else had this issue?

i have this problem too
The problem I have is that messages do not arrive unless I enter the application. The camera thing happened to me only in a couple of occasions where I recorded and it seemed that I had zoomed but it happened to me in the camera application not in wasap.
