Hello, I am really starting to find it annoying how slow the camera is to open, I am not sure whether it is a problem with just me or whether it is a problem with the Sony software.
However, when I open the camera, it sticks on a black screen for a good 4 seconds before actually showing the camera, then when moving the camera around it is really laggy and blurry - with other phones such as any HTC the camera seems really smooth when moving it around.
Does anyone else experience this problem? And does anyone know a fix for it?
I was wondering whether downloading Vignette or something might help?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just tried the Vignette demo and it seems it does not lag, however it does not have a video option and seems a bit over complicated for my simple needs, anyone know any other good camera programs on that market?
I found the camera to be slow as well. I did a lot of tweaking on my phone (root, uninstall timescape, bloatware, enabled JIT) and now the camera and the phone in general is faster.
yes!!! camera is very laggy .... plus my camera button shuts down the camera.apk ....now i can only get a picture using "on screen" clicking option....
[Q]Now why have a camera LED and it does nothing for the camera?...so silly I find
I have done everything rbenz suggested apart from remove TimeScape as I am worried this will conflict when using other apps.
Does anyone know of a decent 3rd party camera application please?
Surely someone has found a decent app, please let me know if you have
me too....when you move the camera while video recording it lags so much and this lag is also seen during playback of the same video,also opening takes years

Unfortunately, to help me you have to download the vid. I don't have an acct on youtube to upload it or set it up there (The file isn't huge anyway) any help would be appreciated!
If you watch the recording, on the top left of the video there's this little white spot.. and I believe it's a software issue. First of all taking pictures - That dot is NOT there. It's only there when I use it to record.
Second, I tried a diff camera app (this one is really weird) such as "lg camera" and if I record using that app, it's there. The WEIRD part is IF I record once, stop it, change to camera mode and then back to camcorder mode, the spot will go away.. I'm assuming it isn't dust or anything under the lense (I hope!) and if anyone knows anything about this.. I'd really appreciate the help! I won't die if it's there, I use the camera a lot more than recording, but the quality is surprisingly pretty decent for the atrix and I'd like to start using it if I can get rid of this dot!
Thanks
I have noticed that, when filming in 720p and 1080p, that the video camera has a tendency to lag when panning to the side after it has focused --> After the camera focuses, and I turn the camera to the sides or up/down, it lags for a second, creating a chopping effect (lagging).
I have stock Gingerbread installed on it (it came on it when purchasing the phone), and have not updated to stock ICS yet.
Does anyone else have this, or have noticed this problem? I'd really like to solve this mystery as soon as possible.
Thank you,

Just a suggestion:
Have you already tried to install the S2 Camera update from Samsungs Apps?
This was an update for the camera firmware of the SGS2.
If you have already installed the update, this app will show it right after the installation.
Good luck !
I just updated Samsung Apps, and am now in the program.
I guess this is a known program then, since they have put out an update for the camera...
How do I find the S2 Camera Update?
Thank you for your reply,

you can google for the same r try with Sammobile.com
Lag as you described is not firmware related as I never had it, but you can try.
Also what you can do I'd you are using micro sdcard as storage, change it to internal and check.
Unless issue is frame rates, blur when panning.
I'm one of those "flash everything and give it a try" kind of guy. I like to try everything out and see what works for me.
The one thing that I've been longing for in every ROM I try is the perfect camera app. I h8 the stock Sammy one. (can't map volume rockers as shutter). Any other camera app that I like doesn't do video. (I usually use Pro Capture). I do like Camera ICS+, but I don't like the fact that it records video in 3gp. I know, I know...I can use a converter app to change to mp4 after the fact, but what can I say? I'm a *****. I want it the way I want it.
The best cam app for me so far is the one running on the CM9 ROMs.
I extracted the apk and tried installing it. It runs fine, BUT......it doesn't save the video. It makes like it's recording, but after I stop recording, it's not saved anywhere.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a million!
PS: before anyone says "Just stick with one of the CM9 ROMs then!"....the reason is that I've found a particular ROM that I keep coming back to that I really dig the battery life on.
stock camera stinks, so what is best camera app to try with it?
Haven't tried it much since our camera sucks anyway, but Open Camera has lots of settings to play with.
I like Snap Camera HDR on play store
I am more put off by the slow opening speed and focusing of the stock camera app. Stock Google camera is basic but solves the problem.
I use Camera MX. I like the Live Shot option. However it takes a lot of sd card space and only you can see it. (You cannot share a Live Shot, except in the form of a video or GIF. I don't think the GIF option even works. )
As the title says, I've got some really bad lag when using the Lenses in Snapchat. The camera works fine when there is no lens on screen, but as soon as one starts tracking my face it turns into a slideshow. It even plays back this way when I view a recorded snap. The filters in Facebook Messenger work fine without lag. Does any other Tribute HD users have this problem? I've tried hard resetting and also reinstalling Snapchat but nothing helps. Surely the phone isn't under powered enough to be causing this is it? Even i check Snapchats memory usage it's never used more than 350mb, and I've always got at least 800mb of ram free when starting Snapchat.
No one? I've emailed Snapchat about this issue but have yet to hear anything back from them. I've even installed an older version to see if that changed anything but it didn't help.
