Does anybody else find the camera app a little buggy/laggy on occasion? Sometimes it works quick and flawlessly, but other times It stutters to take photos or takes a while to process them before the next photo can be captured and stutters even when I'm rotating from portrait to landscape.
exactly the same here...i'm disapointed.
someone else or is my unit faulty ?
I've yet to encounter any lag in the camera app and I have been using it very often. Even shooting multiple HDR shots I don't notice any lag in the camera app while the HDR is still processing for previous pictures.
I am usually not running other applications when using the camera though. Camera lag may be the result of having too many apps running at once.

That's what I'm assuming is going on, but I expected the phone to do a better job at killing apps to give priority to the Camera app. I came from using CyanogenMod so I'm not sure if memory management is handled much differently in stock Marshmallow. I also experience stutter loading Google Play Music, Facebook and activating Google Now on a few occasions. I'm a heavy multi-tasker and switch back and forth between dozens of apps in just a few minutes.
Could this also be 810 throttling?
I'm noticing this as well. After double-tapping the power button, the camera app sometimes takes a few seconds to launch. This happens even if you set the gesture to open up a third party camera app. It also sometimes pauses after capturing a picture and lags when you switch from portrait to landscape. I had a Moto X Pure Edition that I returned to buy this phone, and although it had other faults, I never experienced this issue on my MXPE.
I've had similar trouble, usually when switching to the gallery to view a video and rotating the screen. It's frozen up pretty bad a few times now, end up on a white screen for media player, swipe it away in recents along with gallery and camera and eventually it comes good. Early days still I guess
same here and sometimes stop working
I had it constantly force close yesterday, had to reboot to fix it.

I have the same problem. Camera freezes up when I move out around and it lags when u tried to take a picture. Music stutter on Google play when rotating screen. Any solutions?

I believe the music stutter when rotating the screen is caused by the L and R stereo channels switching speakers. On my N6 (probably true for 6P as well), the top speaker is L and bottom is R when phone is in portrait orientation.

I am having a gallery issue where I select a picture and and different picture loads. Sometimes from the same album or different album. Shutting down sometimes resolves the issue or a soft reset and sometimes it does not. Sometimes I have to go into USB mode and add or delete a picture for ot to work properly again. One time the images in my download album al appeared blurry. I downloaded a picture from my email and then they all appeared normal again. Anyone else have this gallery bug?

Another one of those mind boggling simple bugs in Gingerbread/Nexus S.
Yes, I've seen similar, in that if I take a picture, it often won't show in the gallery unless I open it via a file explorer app from the sdcard.
I haven't tried forcing a media scan manually (there are apps for that), to see if that addresses it.
The Nexus S feels much more like a BETA product (software wise) than I recall the Nexus 1 feeling.

I had this exact same problem. You have to delete all of the thumbnails for your photos so that they reload. The only thing is, the thumbnails are no longer stored in the DCIM folder like they were pre-Gingerbread. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where they're stored - I used root explorer to find them and delete them.
/Android/data/
You will see a folder called 'com.cooliris.media' delete it. The gallery app will regenerate your album thumbs.

This problem has been reported to Google. Please visit the link and star the report to bring more attention to it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13419 Thanks.
I mean wth do we have to go through all that to see our pics... they took forever to fix the text issue they said they have a fix for which we haven't received. The fix for blurry mms is fixed thank god. Now this? Yeah the N1 did feel like a better product but the updates helped that one too. These are stupid things that shouldn't be an issue though.

This issue happens on and off; it's quite absurd. My pictures are once again not opening to the correct photos. As I've said before, it's stuff like this (among a slew of other issues and glitches) which make Gingerbread, and to some degree Android, feel like a second rate experience.
Has anyone also experienced that sometimes pictures aren't clear in the gallery? Often, the picture will come up unclear, but after a second, will be clear as it's meant to be. But sometimes the clarity doesn't happen.
Does it have anything to do with the internal memory or something again (similar to the random ringtone change issue)?
Is this yet another glitch of Android?
Edit: I should mention this is not the MMS issue which is often mentioned. I'm talking about regular photos that are taken with the Camera. Those sometimes don't clear up either.
Yeah, I get this too.
I wait until all the pics are done downloading from the SD card... then I pick the picture.

It happens to me randomly even long after the SD card has loaded.
Why is the gallery reader like this anyway, where it is blurry at first, then clear?
Promise you its not androids fault. You will never EVER have a phone with HTC SENSE do that.

My gallery just freezes when trying to load. Sometimes the newest downloaded or pictures just taken won't show up, its random.

The low res fade into higher res gallery quirk is more of a feature and is how the gallery always has shown photos even back on the nexus one. It allows quick flipping enough photos without having to insanely cache everything in full from the start. It only should take a second to flick over though.
I'm loving the nexus s gallery performance. I'm sorry to hear some aren't as thrilled.
One if the posters spoke about this stuff not happening in htc - that's rubbish, the 3d gallery acts the same there too, only worse, because oh the lack of hyper fast inand. And the htc gallery is rubbish, it struggles to even show thumbnails if you have too many pics. I speak from experience owning the desire hd, which is the most powerful htc phone to date.
The wrong photo issue is completely fixed by clearing the photo cache and then restarting the device. It didn't clear up until the restart, for some reason.
I have some issues with the gallery as well. But I must say that it performs 10X better then it did on my N1, it was sooo slow and laggy on that thing!!!
Get JustPictures! from the market, way better that Gallery3d imo, plus you can access your picasa, flickr, facebook, smugmug, etc pics from there as well.
Android Gallery sucks ... It just sucks. It does not display in high quality, 16 bits instead of 24 bits. You will see terrible color banding on gradient colors.
Google just lied when they told us everything is 32 bits on Android 2.3.
Nah, that's not true.
I hate that because HTC Sense gallery is much better.
Skip that 3D animation transition, it is an image gallery. Without high quality output, that's no good.
JustPictures is the same, it still display terrible color banding.

I'm very happy with the Gallery performance, and as has been said the low res image fading to high res is a feature of the Android gallery, it's always done that on every handset I've owned.
The gallery has it's share of quirks/bug in the NS version of it, but agreed with others, the fading is a design feature, not a bug.
Has anyone encountered the situation wherein even the application images are in your gallery?
we're supposed to have the top of the line google phone, yet my gallery takes foreever to open and lags all the time. its so damn frustrating to have to wait for like 20 seconds just to view a picture i just took. it worked just fine before the 3.2.2 update. it seems like the phone is getting worse with each update instead of better. GOOGLE fix the **** that we need to work instead of other stupid things that no one can use right now
i switched to quickpic https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder and never looked back. superfast and displays the picture with more detail whenyou zoom in.
I agree with quickpic. I made the mistake of removing gallery, only to find out later other programs needed it for some function other than displaying pictures.
yeah the 3d gallery is a fail imo. luckily there is quickpic. havent had any problems yet w/o gallery3d.apk

I think I had some error when trying to send a pic or video or sound recording with stock messaging. I'm guessing it uses it to convert SMS to mms.
I don't know if it can be done but it would be nice to have a setting to change file associations with. More than what can be done now.
Has anyone noticed how the front facing camera on snapchat is zoomed in?
Same on Beta

This is happening on the Beta as well (v 10.6.6.0). I also noticed that the send button is mostly covered when choosing more than one person.

I'm having the same issues here but I was feeling the same way when I use the default camera. Seems like the angle is wider on my S7 than on my S8
I don't think its technically "zoomed" in. If you compare what you see in Snapchat to default camera, you will notice that you still see the same amount of vertical image. But because of the 18.5:9 screen ratio and the way Snapchat works, it crops off a lot of the side image. Same goes for the back camera. And yes, S7 and S6 have much wider front facing camera, it was probably reduced to fit in the focusing mechanisms.
I've noticed if you view Snaps with a 16:9, the top and bottom will be letter boxed. Where as my friends who have also an S8, will fill the full screen.
Hopefully Snapchat will include a way for you to pick a screen ratio, but i doubt it.

Damn, I would take the wider aperture over the auto focus any day.

yea you can definitely tell the difference. i usually just take a normal photo and then use snapchat and select from gallery
I've also noticed this. I hope they fix it. It really annoys me?
Yeah the option to opt out of full screen crop mode is greyed out! I hate the S8 cropping out my pictures and other peoples pictures
I'm having this same problem and it's driving me NUTS. It makes me not want to use snapchat anymore. Grrrrrr.
Horrible hope they fix this!! I don't need close ups of every pore showing up on my face in Snapchat.
Its also pretty annoying where sometimes you can't swipe out of a story (swipe up to get the soft keys to show and then back) as swipe up from the bottom is also "chat" within Snapchat.
My instagram does this too!!! So frustrating. I have to use my normal camera on my s8 and then use the gallery option to edit it on Instagram . I hope it gets sorted!
This is awful, I've had the phone a few weeks and as soon as I used snapchat I noticed how close it seemed to my face, every single pore! What the hell is that about!
Its November now and you guys noticed it earlier in the year.. I'm guessing there is no fix
Since after an update (b184) my front camera is super laggy and not smooth like before. This happens only with the stock app and not always, with google camera it is smooth. Clear data and cache of the app doesnt help, I haven't tried factory reset. Any other idea that might solve it ?
I haven't tried other camera apps. But the lag you say is the common problem BUT it is not that big issue. When you record video, it becomes 30 fps. However to take a picture, you need to keep phone steady as possible as you can
I have the same issue, just use google camera
Yeah but stock apps are always better than 3rd party. I need the integrations it has, swipe from lock screen, double tap volume down, direct link with gallery and I don't want to use another gallery app for that.
Hello!
I've updated to the current OOS10 open beta and now if I take photos or record videos, they are not rotated anymore when viewing them in the Google Photos app. Usually after taking a photo by holding the phone horizontally, the image rotated when viewing the photo holding the phone vertically.
Please help!

Install stable rom instead of the beta. Beta has ended. I hope that will probably fix it.

Here is the link for the stable A10 OOS in case you interested in updating your phone

I can concur with exactly the same problem. After googling I appened the reddit user post with same issue.
Nothing fixes it to me (In reddit there was a reboot and other suggestions). Nothing worked for me at all and like you it's extremely irritating that all videos and photos in landscape are wrongly oriented. Everything else I can sort of grumpily cope with.
If you upload photos to google photos then shift+R allows for rotation but that's hardly a solution is it and doesn't work for videos obviously.
So yes, its a nightmare, and every day I press the update button in the forlorn hope that there is a new beta to fix this
My config is Oneplus 6T with OP6T_O2_BETA_30

You mean rotation doesn't working at all?...
I don't understand exactly the issue...
Also on beta android 10.. everything works great..
Any foto or video working properly on google photos
i had few issues with rotation in the beginning right after updating to android 10...
I've made a clean flash from this beta..and all bugs or glitches are fixed...
I recommend to wipe data on recovery and start from scratch
Yes. To be clear no rotation works.
Except an explicit button say on YouTube
That would perform.
To debug further I loaded cpu-z and noticed that
If you goto sensors tab it's completely blank
Also from phone
*#808#
Device debugging
Sensor self test
Also gives totally blank.
So the tilt ska autorotate and perhaps more is
Busted.

If you get it, you'll realise how flippin annoying
It is
