[Q] Blur makes things slow. - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I've noticed that any kind of blur in my phone makes it very laggy and slow. I tried for example having notification area blurred with one of those big xposed mods, don't remember the name now, and it was super slow.Going into the camera and changing modes, where there is blur, makes everything too not very nice.
Could you guys check if it's also slow for you in the camera or is it just my phone?

Yeah, happened to me when I blurred the notifications area with an xposed mod. When I swiped down to open it, it was very laggy and the frame rate was very low.

Just reboot the phone after you apply it. It should be alright after that.

And how about camera guys? Does blur give you low framerate?
EDIT: And offtopic question about camera. When you tap to focus, do you hear a sound and the sights turn blue? They only do for me after I touch to focus and click on screen camera button to take a shot or when I click the hardware camera button halfway.

[Q] Xperia S Camera(Photo) choppy

Hi Guys,
Just got an Xperia S. I have an issue with the camera. The video is very choppy when taking a picture. Its like I'm shooting the picture in night mode(And I'm not). All settings are default.
Now when i record video its perfect.
Its kind of hard to explain so I've made a video of it which is attached.
Just like to mention that in the camera settings my "Focus mode" setting is greyed out when in the photo mode.(Don't know if this is significant.
My exposure is set to 0. If i bring it all the way down to -2 image isn't choppy anymore but it becomes way too dark.
Anyone else having this issue? Any idea if this is an issue or is the camera like this?
Would it be possible to delete the camera app and reinstall it?
Thanks in advance

Did you try changing the capturing mode to scene recognition if it exhibits the same?

Yeah tried that still same issue.
Update: When I'm in sunlight its fine. Its only when I'm indoors/low light that this happens even though the setting is set to manual and not automatic.
Can you post some pictures taken with the phone showing your problem?
Edit: nvm, I thought he meant photo quality since the thread title implies this, but he means video.
mines the same :S also when i press down the camera button during standby it'll take a pic, but when i do it with the home screen on, it doesnt take one...anyone got the same problem?

No i mean the photo quality. When I'm in the camera app its very choppy. Ive returned the phone and waiting on a new unit so i don't have any pictures i took indoors on me but heres 1 which were taken outside. Even in daylight theres a sort of haze.

Are you using a transparent casing? I have a transparent casing on mine and the flash reflects off it into the lens. Just remove the casing and it will be ok, or shoot without flash.

When it is dark, the phone automatically slows shutter speed to increase light to the sensor. This causes the choppiness. This is the disadvantage of a camera phone vs normal camera where you can control the shutter speed.
On the night mode taking shot is always slow. But the pics can be great.
But the above pic shows it may be a problem with the hardware.
I had the same problem but I solved it, by wiping it!! I just had some smoo on the lense is all make sure it's clean

[Q] Camera laggy? + UI lag?

Hi!
I'm running Hyperdrive 8.1 and I've noticed that the camera drops about 10 frames when I show my camera around my closet... Whereas when i slide my camera over to my monitor, it is extremely smooth. Could it be the cluttered ness? Or...
Also there is a slight UI lag... Is there any possible way for me to fix it?
Syncs: Facebook, Google, Samsung Account, Skype, Twitter and Vine. I made sure many of them aren't synced automatically.
I think it has to do with the lighting. When theres quite a bit of light my camera is smooth but when moving to darker conditions it gets a bit choppy when moving the camera around. I.remember stock being similar so i dont think its a rom issue and it doesnt seem to affect picture quality. As for ui lag I always disable the animations and it makes the phone super snappy. The option is under developer options, near the bottom.

Thank you sir.

Shutter button sensitivity

Just trying to work out if I have a duff or not. The shutter button seems extremely sensitive when pressed halfway, only need to barely touch it when focusing. Not generally an issue but when in gallery, the slightest touch will open the camera which is very annoying.
Is this normal?
They do it as well as me. Try another galleries, QuicPic example, there do not do it

Swift 2+ photos really soft

Got both my wife and mum this phone for xmas, but we are really disappointed with photos taken by it. Even when taken in reasonable lighting conditions, photos tend to look really soft and blurry, despite the preview shown on screen looking nice and sharp. It isn't finger trouble (moving whilst shooting), it appears to either be poor auto-focus kicking in when hitting the soft-shutter button, or it is really badly compressing the images (although it is set to 100% quality). Any tips gratefully received!

Hello,
Try disabling the zero shutter lag in the camera app's settings, that improves a lot for me.
Have you tried changing the mode of the camera (swipe down/up in camera app), or maybe a third party camera app from the play store (if nothing else works) ? Also if possible use flash, trust me it improves your photo a lot.

Thanks for the tips - I'll give them a try when the wife surfaces and let you know how I get on.
Haven't had much joy - perhaps just expecting too much from the phone. It really does look like it is just making a mess of the compression.
Stock camera app is a trash (as most stock apps).
What problem with installing external camera app? Apps like "Camera FV-5" have a LOT of options.

Camera - Need more burst shots

So I got my LG V30 about a week ago and have been playing with it and i'm very happy with this phone.
However i have been playing with animated photos for years and my S7 use to take 100 burst shots at a time. The LG V30 stops at 30. Is there any way to increase the amount of shots it takes in burst mode?
There are zero options for adjusting burst shooting in any camera app I have. Which is a shame as I would love to turn it off in the LG app. Twice I've triggered it accidentally and it keeps going after I remove my finger from the shutter button. Pretty certain I've seen one group of 41 photos at one point. I thought maybe there would be something in time lapse but I don't understand the one setting they have in there at all. I even looked at the Motion Stills app and there's no settings in there either.

See i don't want to turn the function off, i want to increase the number of shots it does take. I like using it to make animated gifs and 30 shots isn't enough.

What I'm saying is that I see zero options for making any adjustments of any kind to burst mode in any app I have.
