I take a picture, and then select the photo at the bottom of the camera screen.. it opens the gallery, then is VERY slow.. often I can't pinch & zoom, or select a sharing icon.. then suddenly the multi screen sometimes turns on. I though maybe it's because the tv icon at the top of the photo is showing 9+ meaning that's it's found 9 devices to share my photo too.. I thought maybe that is slowing it down. I tried turning off allshare cast, but can't seem to keep it off. I don't even know if that is even what it is. Frustrating. Not sure if that even made sense?
Anyone else having a gallery bog down like this?
thanks.

What is the Android version that you're using? 4.1.1? I'm using 4.1.2 and I have the same issue, but it feels more like a bug than an actual issue. I hope Samsung fixes this in the next 4.1.2 release.
I noticed the gallery lags terribly if I have photos that sync to it (Dropbox or FB sync to gallery) so I turned those off and it was lagless.
Other than that, I have no idea what could be the issue.

I know this is an old thread, but I was suddenly having the same issue. Turning off Dropbox sync seems to have solved it. Thanks for the tip.

Not sure if this is a common problem. I couldn't find anything on the interwebs indicating that others are having this issue frequently.
It seems like my Camera application will almost never allow me to see the pictures that I've taken. When I tap on the picture preview it just goes to a blank screen. If I hit slideshow, it momentarily tries to take me to the slideshow and then bounces me right back.
Sometimes after force closing it with the system monitor app a few times will eventually let me see previews.
It's pretty infuriating that it does this and I have no idea what would cause it. I'm thinking about buying Vignette, but in my opinion the stock camera should work.
Any ideas?
You know what I just noticed - it appears to be the gallery app and not the camera app. Anyone else have this problem with Gallery?
It is most likely a media scan issue with the gallery (sometimes my pictures take a long time to show up on their own as well).
You can either reboot the phone or use an app to rescan media. There are a bunch out there (search market for rescan or scan media). Or if you are running CM6, you can choose the function in the built-in Dev Tools app. Tasker also has this function built in if you wanted to set up something like forcing a rescan every time you exit the Camera app.
Hello,
Yesterday I purchased the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch for Virgin Mobile (SP-D710VMUB). I am incredibly happy with the phone so far, however when I downloaded Instagram, I discovered that recording video caused the phone to freeze, and eventually restart on its own.
After searching for the problem, I saw that some LG users had a problem where only the front facing camera would record. I thought I'd give it a shot, and the front facing camera works perfectly. No freezing or crashes. I also so the post about the Epic 4G Touch where users had to disable 'Use Instagram's Advanced Camera'. After disabling the option, I am unable to select video, and am only able to take photos.
Nothing else seems to cause freezing or crashing in Instagram, only taking video with my rear camera.
I am running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I am not rooted, and the phone is completely stock as of right now.
If anyone has any information, or any idea as to what may be causing this problem; any advice would be much appreciated.

Here is a link to an Instagram apk. I would try it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332178
Just delete the instagram app you have installed...download the instagram apk. from the link and install with a file manager..( es xplorer/astro )..to just list a couple...any file manager/browser will work. No need to be rooted..so don't worry about that.
That being said..I do not use Instagram..So this is just a guess on my part...Read through the whole thread..( I just skimmed )..Could be other users having this issue as well and might have a fix..But from what I saw..it looked to be working.
Thanks for the reply! I tried the apk you linked (v4.1.0). Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. However, I did discover that it isn't freezing and crashing immediately when pressing the record button anymore, but instead when I finish recording a video.
If you are using the 4G Epic Touch, could you please install Instagram and attempt to record video to see if you have the same problem? I'm not sure as to whether this might be a problem with my phone or with the Instagram app.
Thanks again for your reply.
EDIT: I noticed that the phone's buttons remained responsive for a short time after Instagram froze. I was able to hit the home button after it locked up following the recording of a video. After making it to the home screen, I was able to go back into Instagram only to find a still frame of the video I just took, and black bars in place of the Instagram UI. Android soon reported that Instagram wasn't responding and allowed me to force close it via the prompt.
I don't know if this information is relevant or helpful to anyone, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
@Auze
ill try it later..as of now im downloading 4.3 gapps for a new rom on my gtab 10.1...
But to me it sounds like an app problem...
Thanks, if you don't get around to it, it's no big deal. I appreciate your help. I agree that it sounds like an app problem, although I am curious if it happens to all 4G Epic Touches.
For anyone that has this problem, I worked around it by filming a video with the stock Camera app, and then going into Instagram and uploading that video from the Gallery. It will go right into the Instagram video editor, and you can proceed as normal.
For me, it takes absolutely forever to focus, and will usually only focus if I move my phone up and down/left and right (basically don't hold it still). As a result, I inevitably get blur.
I've tried using LG's camera app, and it focuses absolutely fine with no issue. Anybody else with the same issue?
Same problem here... I can't figure out how to improve this issue.
No one else is having this problem?

Not seeing this with mine. Seems to focus just fine, nice and snappy. Bell model, unrooted, Dalvik.

I'm on 100% stock Sprint. :/
I have a similar problem with CamScanner which I use to scan receipts....I think it has something to do with the fact the LG G3 has a UHD display and the app doesn't support that resolution yet. I'm on AT&T D850
No problems here. The picture is super-crisp at any distance. Then I press shutter and it takes maybe a second to take photo, then additional time to process/upload.
Google Drive 2.0.222.39
Running the same version here. I've noticed that if I tape the shutter once, a ring appears around the button. If I tap it again, it disappears. Sometimes that second tap takes the picture, but 9 times out of 10, I have to pan the camera around, pull it away or zoom in, and it snaps the shot, most of the time blurry because I'm moving.
Same issue.
Used to have the same issue as well. I just tried it now and Drive crashes after opening the camera to scan.
Google Drive 2.0.222.40, stock V10G-EUR-XX, Dalvik.
Completely unusable now

Dang, I tried refreshing my store and no update.
same problem here !
any solutions ?
You guys have the HDR on ? Tried turning it off ?
I tried disabling the HDR (was set to auto,) in the native camera app. I don't think that influences Google Drive though. Had no effect.
HDR off no effect here either
I just installed the latest Google Drive 2.0.222.51 and application started working. It still takes some time to focus on some shots, but is much better than before.
If you don't want to wait your turn to update Google Drive from the Play store you can grab it from here:

I have the G3 D855 10g version (with Root) and focus takes 1 second so works fine !!

this seems to work a tad better, thanks!
Just got the official update. Camera scan issue seems thoroughly fixed, capture is now just about instant.

mine is having the same old issue even with the latest drive app
I've seen threads about performance issues when charging etc and I have them myself!
One thing that completely destroys me is the performance when trying to take a quick picture or use an app that uses the camera.
E.g. barcode scanners move the complete opposite direction
Snapchat is also practically unusable. When I open it, it completely s**ts itself every time and is unusual!
I guess my question is..... Do you think custom ROMs and recoveries will solve the issues?
Thanks

I definitely think we should see some optimizations in the next weeks. Snapchat would crap out on me and eventually cause the camera module to crash. It got to the point that the camera would turn black within Snapchat and even within the camera app itself. Only fix was to reboot the phone to get the camera working again. Yesterday I received a snapchat update, not sure if it was meant to address performance issues, but it now works more smoothly and doesn't crash as often. There is definitely room for improvement!
It's really doing my head in and glad I'm not on my own in seeing this!! I don't know anyone else with the 5x to compare so been searching online.
I timed it today, I rebooted the phone and left it 5 minutes without opening anything. I fired up the camera app and it took 124 seconds (just over 2min) until the app was ready to take a photo (the blue circle showing around the shutter button). Then tapping the button to take a photo took a further minute to take the actual photo. Then the phone was that sluggish it needed a reboot.
Not sure if it's the hardware, the os or the app but I've tried Open Camera too and that seems to be really really slow. And, as the OP says, Snapchat totally craps out as do other apps that use the camera.

I just tried the same test. The camera app opened and was ready to shoot (blue circle showing) in about 2 seconds. Double pressing the power button to open the camera app had the blue circle around the shutter button showing right away
Every now and then it does work perfectly. But more times than not there is a massive lag. Usually after the phone has been on for half a day, but like this morning sometimes when it's just turned on.
I've experienced the same issues mentioned by you guys, especially in the OP.
Snapchat has practically been completely unusable until the most recent update, and that only marginally improved things. The root cause seems to be the camera itself, as I'm only seeing this type of lag in apps that access the camera. I can't help but imagine Google is working on a fix for this in the very near future, just one of those 'early adopter' issues I guess. It has caused me to do daily reboots just about, which is very aggravating because that defeats the purpose of a good camera if you miss the moment you're trying to capture. As I'm sure you guys have noticed, when the camera app actually works properly, the pictures are pretty impressive, which makes it all the more aggravating that it can't be used as fluently as designed.
Hoping for all of our sake that Google fixes this soon.
I'm in the same boat.

could u please test camera functionality with this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geekstools.cameraW
and if possible gather log info
Thanks
I'm very curious if the camera is behaving really strange for anyone else? What I have observed:
- the Camera app takes a long time to open sometimes (for example during Google Maps navigation)
- the camera button doesn't react to presses sometimes, lags and freezes the app for like 5 seconds
- sometimes instead of snaping a picture it captures multiple pictures at once and gives me like 10 similar images (I forgot the name of that function but I have it disabled)
- camera in apps like Messengers opens up really slow sometimes but that could be the case of ****ty FB app
Is anyone having a problem with camera and it's performance? Please let me know, I did a factory reset and it does not help.
