Camera Lag

Is there a way to remove the "lag" time when taking photos?? it just sucks cause when i use my friends android or iphone.. the camera instantly takes the photo.. whereas my "HD2" with a crapdragon processor takes like 5 seconds... its a little embarrasing...
and is there a way to get my old album back?? i hate how there is just random ass facebook pictures and other crap in my album... is there a reg edit or something which will ultimately prevent that??

i gotta agree, my camera is soo laggy after taking a pic
i am trying to remember if it was like that since i got it...
annoying as hell though.

You can port android to your phone then your camera will be smooth

Photo gallery question here.

Hey guys I just picked up my Xoom about an hour ago. I'm a photographer and been wanting a nice tab for some time now to add my work, and use it as a nice portfolio. My issue is this.... I,ve dropped in a few photos into my xoom, all high res but when I go to view the images in the gallery they all look a bit pixelated. I would need to stretch the image out a bit to make them look right.
In the end if I had to do this for each image I wish to show it would just become a real pain in the ass. Anything in settings to fix this, or maybe an app that would help with this problem?
If anyone has any ideas please let me know? If there is no fix, than sadly I would need to return my new Xoom that I love very much.
Thanks.

Try QuickPic.

Yup a buddy of mine just told me about that app. Works freaking great! Looks like I'll be keeping my XOOM after all.
Thanks.

I am a photographer too..hobbylist at least (http://www.photographybykevin.net)
Anyhow, I host my pictures on mainly Zenfolio and sometime upload misc stuff to Flickr.
I find both of these apps are AWESOME on the XOOM
zFolio and FlickFolio...
Both of them will sync / download your entire gallery to your Xoom when you are on a WIFI connection, not 3G to save you bandwidth. It works pretty smooth and does a good job.
Otherwise the other option is manually copy the picture to the Xoom and use the Gallery 3D native to the Xoom.
The maker of zFolio and FlickFolio also make one for SmugSmug too I believe. The app is only $2.99, a good price for the app.

thanks for the suggestion

Default Dialer, Contact Pictures Look Like Crap

i have had an evo for over a year, and this is the thing that i hate the most about the phone, ignore my signature because i recently had to return my phone and am now on fully stock, unrooted, android 2.3 from Sprint.
so, what can I or we do about the terrible quality of the contact pictures in the dialer? im talking about whenever I take a picture of somebody, and assign the picture to their contact in android, then when they call the picture that comes up is the same image, but probably the most pixelated, grainy and washed out version of the original ever.

There are a few current open threads about this now so maybe look at those threads for other suggestions. Try uploading your picture thru gmail and associating your pic there and see what it looks like... Just a thought

Google+ Auto Awesome feature very slow or crashes

Just wondering if anybody is using this feature on a N4?
A friend is trying to stich together some photos and videos into a montage similar to what Google did, and the app is taking hours to complete the montage and will often crash during or at the end of the process.
OTOH I have tried a few on my N5 and they seem to work okay. The N5 is faster but we are talking about minutes versus hours! It's not that mch faster!
Thanks

Phone created animated video all by itself, now I can't replicate it.. Any tips..?

So I have quite a few videos and pictures from a recent trip to Aruba and after I inserted the SD card into my phone, about 15 minutes later I had a notification in the dropdown menu that was a video my phone somehow created all by itself and now I can't seem to replicate it to show it to my fiance lol..
Anyone have any idea why my phone did that and how else do I find that video it made, because I can't locate it anywhere..
Thank you!

Do you have Google Photos installed? That's the app that tends to edit photos and make videos on it's own for me. Made a video from a series of photos I took of the kids at halloween.

Dude you rock!!! That was exactly it..!! I kept looking in Gallery and didn't see it anywhere and my fiance was looking at me like I was crazy and making up a story about this awesome little movie with music and everything lol.. Google Photos def hooked me up and I didn't even ask for it haha..
Thanks again!

Yes, it likes to proactively edit photos on you, you'll get a message totally at random about how made a photo better.

Haha that's awesome..! Luckily I was alone while I just got this figured out because Google magically produced two pics of a nice booty I used to know a few years back that somehow ended up in my google photos lmao.. It said the year so I'd have been safe, but still not a battle I was ready to partake in haha..
