The whole reason for me to get a droid x2 is the for the camera. It sounds nice on the paper, but it takes a whole 3 seconds to start the camera. I mean, click the icon, count "1 Mississippi, ... ", sometimes even longer, like 5-8 seconds. My wife's DINC2 takes only a second to open the camera app.
I am still running stock rom, CM7 did not work well on my unit either. So, is there any other cure to this issue?
TIA

I always had this issue with my camera so I am sorry that I can't offer any guidance here...I was unsatisfied with the camera as a whole maybe try HDR or Pudding camera they are way better alternatives to the stock camera anyway, in my opinion

Maybe try the sd speed increase app from the app store? Might help. Just a thought...
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA
Out of the box, my camera wasn't all that fast either. But on my X2 with CM7, the camera is almost instant. It's a world's difference. Even taking pics or switching from the album and back to the camera is no problem at all. I do have the SD Speed increase to 2048, but that's all. Not extra scripts or anything else other than CM7.
Clear out everything, flash back CM7 beta and download the SD speed increase. It's gotta be better than where you are at now.

I'm making the jump to the x2 from the fascinate this week & am looking for some general advice about the phone. Most of the other active flashaholics have gone another direction but I've had positive experience with Motorola in the past. I actually wanted the original x last year, rather than the fascinate, but it was soldout so long I couldn't wait. So here I am full circle and looking forward to a phone that can receive calls regularly. So...
1. What's the word on the bootloader unlock?
2. What's safe to do on the phone?
3. Is it easy to brick?
4. What do I use to flash roms/themes? Anything like Odin?
5. What file structure is used?
6. Is it a solid phone, barring bells & whistles?
Don't mean to run on, but any advice is greatly appreciated.

Answers:
1. Don't hold your breath.
2. Not sure what you mean by safe.
3. Only if you don't know what you're doing.
4. bootstrap/recovery, the current release is a modified version of the Atrix CWM
5. No idea what you're asking here.
6. In my opinion, out of the box this phone is sub par. However with the proper mods it easily becomes the best phone in Verizons line up.

Do You Think Te DX2 wll still have data issues?
Well I just took delivery on my dx2 & look forward to being a part of this community. So far setting up has been pretty flawless & I already get better signal than my fascinate did. For any of you that switched over, did they let you keep your fascinates sd card?

Been three days now with my x2 from the fascinate and I love it..been 28 hrs of normal usage and battery is at 30%. My fascinate would be at 30% after 18 hrs tops. I havent made any major changes either, just rooted and removed some bloat that i dont use and installed the recovery. It seems to be a great time to get on the x2 bandwagon, we already have one rom and team BAMF (who made some roms for the fascinate) has been shipped an x2 to create a rom for us. Check out rootzwiki for more info on that.
I would love to know how you get 20+ hrs from the x2. Just in standby I get 20 hrs. Any use puts me at 10 hrs to 20%.
Note: rooted, debloated, launcherpro, widget locker, minimalist text widget and screen brightness lowest.

Do not return your sd card... They will not give it back. Keep everything but the actual phone..
Dont really know what to tell you, unplugged it yesterday before I went to work and when i posted that message, it was still on and at 30%. Might be due to the fact that I run Juice Defender, but even with that on my fasciante i got crap battery life

For me it is love hate,
the phone seems solid, light and very fast
i have rooted, supercharged, sd speed increase, debloated, frozen apps, using ADW, installed system recovery and cache cleaners
that being said, the phone seems *mostly* stable
- moto blur blows…
- the video does skip or drop a frame here and there, pretty regularly...frustrating
- I have been having trouble with audio, not necessarily popping or skipping all that much since the mods, but it is randomly rebooting during playback for some reason...frustrating
but when it does work...it sounds awesome,… I think. (Mixzing with eq)
- I use Wi-Fi tether, I am having issues with it rebooting ALOT, like every 10 minutes or so. Tried the cache cleaners and other version of the app, no help....really frustrating
- I uploaded video to Face book from a concert, it looked like total crap, and there was no audio...frustrating
- I tried to take video of several more sets at the concert only to have the recordings fail at the very end, losing them entirely, ...very frustrating - seeing that I had a better camera that would have worked flawlessly.
- calls are very clear, with a great signal
- internet is super fast and easy with this phone/large screen
- the screen is pixilated though, you need to mess around with the brightness/density…it does help
- does take a decent picture (in the right conditions)
- all the rest of my apps seem to run quickly and flawlessly, except for what was previously mentioned.
- My battery life is great
so I’d say it's a mixed bag, coming from an og droid, the phone is vastly superior speed wise, but it is not nearly as stable or customizable…yet
I think many of us here are pinning our hopes that it is mostly software related and that roms, or ota gingerbread will fix the majority of the issues
if software doesn’t help considerably, I’m dumping this phone for something else
I can’t have a phone that is re-booting 10 times a day, this is getting ridiculous.

i've had my droid x2 since the june 28. i haven't had 1 single random reboot. in fact, i haven't had any of the issues such as studdering video, skipping music or random reboots.
i guess i'm lucky.
I haven't applied it yet, but I want to, just to see if it will fix the massive issues I've had with this phone. I know it supposedly breaks root, but I don't care about that. I know it also should fix the missing phone icon on the lockscreen (broken in 1.13.651.7).
Any issues?
It suck. Gps doesn't work when I really need it to, home page goes blank after hitting home from texting (sometimes), Gps symbol stays crossed out after turning off and back on, and worst of all front facing camera doesn't work...instead I get the rear image fliped upside down. I'm not rooted, nor do I need or want to. I'm going to try to take it 2 a store in the morning. I'll try to do a update when i find out more.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Im loving it. It feels smoother than 2.3.3 IMO. Also, GPS locks faster than usual. Overall, I feel its an a great upgrade to the guts of the OS.
I'm running Synergy Nightly BTW so my results are skewed.
Why don't u just backup and flash the stock ROM with the update built in and see. U can test it out without losing root
That's what i ran before my current ROM and it ran good. Weather fix and screenshot was really nice

I dont know why your camera does not work because mine and about 8-13 other evo 3d's my friends own all work after the ota. Our gps locks on hella lot faster also. I have literally NO issues so far. plus, my battery life, increased by a whole day with heavy texting, bluetoothing music to my headphone for 6+ hours a day, and 3g pandora.
My only Quirk that bugs me is when unlocking the screen sometimes it goes into the camera but that is it.
I dont notice much difference other than that

Same here + the camera looks better.
Initially, I was disappointed by the performance of the ROM, but I later found that my tweaking I did to build.prop (increase dalvik vm, gui forced to run hardware acceleration) was actually causing this version to perform poorly compared to the 1.13.651.7 ROM. After not using those tweaks anymore, the 2.08.651.2 update is running smoothly. Only complaint I have is with the new CIQ spyware that is on this version However, it is easily removed with custom kernel and uninstalling the proper apks.
Love it. Camera green hue is gone for me. Built in screen caputure (power+home button). Adjusting volume no longer cause stutter when viewing videos. Everything just runs smoother. I say upgrade away.
Thanks for all your responses.

A couple of these problems I've had before upgrading anything (GPS went out once when I was outside in the middle of LA, GPS icon stays on/off after switching it off/on). Hopefully I won't get your other issues, but everything else is going wrong with this phone, so I'll probably try the custom-rom-upgrade first.

Haven't rooted yet because if it's this buggy when I'm using it like it supposed to be used, I fear it will be twice as bad and maybe bricked when I actually try to get tricky with it.

I am really looking forward to the screen capture.
I have to say...Stock roms being buggy does not equate to custom roms being twice as buggy. I would highly recommend you root before taking the OTA and checking out some custom roms. You might be quite surprised with the performance. Just my 2 cents though. Good luck either way!

Sent from the Speed Demon known as the Rezound
This would be amazing on our phones! I too am more excited about this mod than any other. I use my camera a lot!
If it corrects for the pops and squeaks during video recording, then that would be icing on the cake. True 30fps recording would great too. I've had pretty severe frame-rate drops during recording.
I went ahead and installed the program and it appears to work. I get larger JPG images and 1080 video at higher bitrates. A few things though. The icons at the bottom are physically lower on the screen so the text on the bottom gets cut off. The button to the gallery doesn't work from video mode but appears ok from camera mode. The effects appear to work too. This is just my preliminary findings.
I'm on CleanRom 4.1 without any of the mods.
Edit: xsnapshot, I haven't noticed the pops and squeaks since the radio update in January. I didn't notice any on the test video I took, but it was only for 10 secs so I'm not sure. I'll take a longer video later and see if I can hear the pops and squeaks.
Edit2: Not sure why you linked to an Engadget post when the original post is in XDA. Here it is so you can get the app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238
I installed this yesterday and haven't had any issues with it. I have not used my Rezound camera enough to really notice a difference. I guess I should have taken a before and after pick to see if the file size changed much.
I didn't flash it. Opened the zip up and pushed each item to my phone.
I did take a picture of some clouds yesterday evening. File size was 2.62MB
Installed this tonight, my photo file sizes are huge now, though I've not seen a huge difference in 1080p video quality. I'll do some outdoor testing tomorrow, to see if there is a difference.
I'll try to post some results if I get around to it

Out of curiosity... can this be undone

this doesn't do anything for video, btw guys..in joels rom it didn't, anyway. still recorded at around 8mbps, wouldn't ever hit above that to get even near 20...photo's seemed to work uncompressed though; they're bigger in size
Anyone having issues with Instagram on the ICS leak(DaGr8's)? When ever i choose a pic from the gallery and it takes me to apply the filter the phone just becomes unusable. There is nothing that i can do and i have to pull the battery. Is anyone else having this issue or is there something that i did wrong?
it's not just you, and I'm on the stock leak.
Its not just us, its on the problem section on the app on google play
I don't have to pull the battery. I dunno if you guys ever knew this, but if you hold the power button down for around 15 seconds the phone will hard reboot (same as pulling the battery). You will feel the phone vibrate, then reboot like normal Save your battery cover , just hold the power button down.

You guys do realize the Instagram team most likely only had the latest GB to test their app out on, right? ICS is a very small percentage of Android right now.

No, the Google team themselves had access to Instagram before launch. Hugo Barra is a good example of who had it beforehand. I'm pretty sure if not positive all the Android devices that Instagram took a photo of were seeded by Google.

Its more of a social media app. you have followers and you follow people. Kind of like twitter but for pictures. Even though Instagram doesn't work, MyTubo works fine on ICS. If you dont know what MyTubo is, its pretty much the same as Instagram but only for Android users.
Ahh, that explains why I have no idea what it is as I don't use social media systems
Yeah locks up after applying filter on Note however on Gnex it works fine.

Hi everybody.
I don't think photos taken by razr are good...
I had a Galaxy 3 with 3MP camera and I used to took photos with 1,5MB. But, with RAZR, photo's size is around 2MB. Isnt it wrong?
How can i take photos with better quality?
Thanks
I originally thought my razr took bad pictures.. Turns out it was me.. Let the camera fully focus before snapping the picture and you will be amazed how well they turn out. If your on stock Gingerbread still the main box in the middle of your screen will turn green when its focus'ed, If you on Ice Cream Sandwish then in the upper left hand corner there will be a little box with a dot in the center that will turn green when its focused. Happy shooting
Maybe this will help
