Maybe figured out the freezing camera - need testers for workaround

Ok, I think I might have figured out under what conditions the camera is freezing.
When the camera is started in portrait mode, the first shot will freeze, at least on my camera. That means when you use the camera icon on the unlock screen, it will freeze.
I tried these different scenarios, followed by a reboot each time (not temp-rooted on any of these):
Device portrait, used camera icon to on lockscreen unlock - camera freezes first picture
Device landscape, used camera icon on lockscreen to unlock - 5 quick pictures in a row no problem
Device portrait, used camera button to start camera - camera freezes first picture
Device landscape, used camera button to start camera - 5 quick pictures in a row no problem
Note that even though the lockscreen doesn't have a landscape orientation, the sensor knows the difference and it seems to affect the camera.
I have no idea why the starting orientation would affect the camera, but being careful to put your phone sideways before starting it up seems to prevent the freezing.
Anyone else with freezing camera issues want to give this a shot and report back?
I too had the camera freeze problem, formatted the card and issue went away. Not sure if this will help you or not.

Wow. I'm having this issue too. It's freezing pretty often over here.
Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? I'm willing to exchange it (again) if it's the latter.

[Q] camera shut lag?

The only thing I dont like of my phone is the camera shut lag, that is the lag between when I tap on the red button and the picture the camera takes. I have stock 2.3.3 Eur rom. Do you have experienced the same problem and any possible fix?
Thanks

Time to take picture (camera launch speed)

There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the HTC U11 Life can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I'm on a completely stock 8.0 (2.15.531.11). it's very slow and buggy.
If you use edge sense to activate the camera and take the photo its very quick because you dont need to turn the screen on you dont need to unlock the device, just a short squezze to activate display and camera and a second squezze to take the picture. Running android one this takes about 2-3 seconds and you have the picutre.

For me the camera is still slow even when i use the edge sense. it takes about 2-4 seconds after i squezze it for the camera to turn on. The app opens but the lense doesn't wake up and the it takes even longer for the squezze to take the picture.

I dont know why but with latest update it does not even work anymore to wake the device with squezze. With the update before there was no problem to wake the device and start the camera app. Btw. i dont use the stock HTC camera app, i use Google Camera with HDR+ from here https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-cstark27/
You are right the stock camera app needs a few seconds to start but google camera is just about 1,5 seconds and its ready.

Question Camera App Grey Out

Hi, I recently bought a tripod and tried to use my pixel 6 with an external shutter. However I noticed that the camera app became greyed out after I took a photo with the external shutter.
After I force close and reopen the camera app the screen became normal again. When I take a photo with the 'normal' button in the camera app everything is fine, so I think the grey screen only happens when photos are snapped with the external shutter.
The whole screen became white washed in a sense, may I know what might be causing this issue and how do I fix it? Thanks!
