Anyone else noticing that when they take a picture with the chase banking app (my particular one) or perhaps another banks app, that the check is always really grainy even if it looks good before you snap the photo?
This happens to me every single time and 90% of the time the bank wont accept the check.
I also notice the camera does the same thing if i try to take a picture of something off my computer monitor or tv (yes i know this isnt optimal use of the camera but its distinct and even my crappy ipad camera comes out better).

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

and if possible gather log info
Thanks
So I'm kind of concerned with this unusual sound the camera makes whenever I open the camera app (or any other app that uses it; Snapchat, VSCOcam, etc). I can physically hear the camera making a somewhat stronger focusing / refocusing sound as soon as the app opens, as well as physically feeling the vibration from the sound it makes throughout the phone. What I see on the screen is the picture regularly refocusing on the image, although every photo I take has been beautifully flawless. At the same time I feel like it's the camera dying on me, hopefully not.
Restarting & clearing cache/data on the camera app unfortunately does not fix the problem. Hope I'm not the only one out there with this problem.

You sure it's not the optical image stabilization? If you zoom in all the way and look at your camera , shake the phone and you can see it move...also close the camera app and hold your phone to your ear and shake it , you can hear it move.
Having seen the new advert for Nokia and their front and back cam simultaneous broadcasting. I've looked into this and it seems to be a hardware limitation on 3rd party apps being able to use both cameras at the same time.
Can pixel manage this?
has anyone else looked into it at all?
has anyone found any apps yet?
i've downloaded "Bothie" and "Frontback" - this gives a normal photo then it switching to selfie cam to take a shot then they both have half the screen.... close but not quite what would be asked for
Hi!...really need some help!
Had phone for 1 year. Generally no performance issues. Over the last month or so, the camera app has started to play up.
1. It takes ages to load
2. The picture stuters/freezes when moving phone in pictures or videos causing delays in snapping and/or jumps in recordings
3. It can no longer focus on things at near distance.
I did a factory restore and think it was okay right after (didn't test it properly). Have since reinstalled most of the same apps and went to use camera today and same issue.
I installed adobe camera app and it works phone so don't think it's a hardware issue. Seems more like something is interfering or maybe a bad update.
Don't want to have to use a seperate app for videos too. Saw some others mention similar issues in the forum though not exactly the same and no resolution (no pun intended). Anyone experienced this and fixed it?
Hello everybody. Im using this phone for about 2 weeks now and I have notice there are problems taking HDR photos. Almost every time taking photos while driving it looks like this:
Sometimes there are also same issues in portrait mode (look at water on right).
When HDR is turned off everything is ok.
Delete the data from the camera app in the app settings from the system.
If that doesn't help reset the phone to factory settings.
Is it still the phone exchange. Then it is a hardware defect that may come from the ISP that calculates the images.
It is possible that something has been damaged after puting phone into water for few seconds? (10 cm for 10-15 seconds). It is ip68 certified.
it has an IP certification that says it can be submerged in water up to 1m for 30 minutes.
If something broke, this is a warranty case.
Deleting app data doesnt help. Still same issue. Sometimes also sky is burned (all photos taken in same time and same direction).
So this is not only my unit fault. Another user send me photos he take while driving and he have same issue. Can you check yours phones?
You guy should understand how HDR works in real life. It takes multiple photos at the same scene and stacks them up together to get a better result compared to a single shot. Therefore, while you are driving at hight speed, the phone cannot take multiple photos at the same scene anymore, and the result when stacking up those photos is what you got with your pics above.
I know how HDR works. I have been using many phones and this one is my first that make crap with HDR on while driving. I have take plenty photos when driving with other phones and never have almost every photo with that issues. Maybe 1/50 was with bugs but not every one.
This is the worst i can find fron OP 7T
Portrait mode
(Yes i know first is not focus correctly)
These were not dynamic (fast moving) shots but still.
Another one with HDR problem. Static photo, not in move. I takie photos. One on normal mode and secondein night mode. Night mode is ok but normal have bugs.
