Camera shutting down/closing apps and slow (pixel 3 xl)

[dmxjago]

Since android Q beta 5 I'm running into the poor performance and slowness on the pixel 3 xl over all even navigating. One of the most noticeable issues is camera performance. I'll have the camera open ready to snap a shot or record a video and the camera just closed itself. Another thing it's always closing my other apps literally almost every time. Taking a picture the processing is super slow now and my wife's pixel 3a is way quicker when processing the pictures without even having a visual core. And the other thing I ran into was at lest 2 times I snapped a pic and it didn't save to my camera roll. So basically those issues from months and months ago seem to have come back.

Anyone else experiencing any of the above ? Want to confirm before wiping my device and see if it resolves the issue. Beta 4 and even 3 were way more stable for me.

Going to try clearing cache etc first and maybe even uninstall the camera app first see how it runs then go for the factory reset as needed.

So I might of fixed it noticing the camera acting great again. So I uninstalled and updated and boom. So I had an APK installed that moved night sight to the main screen when you opened the camera and panorama moved to the settings section. After uninstalling and updating it out the camera back to the one where panorama is in the main screen and I already see the processing being fast again.

Yeah the phone literally already feels snappy again and and the camera all is flying again. The camera hadn't closed itself not my google play music so far.

Yup a full day of taking pics in NYC and the phone hasn't slowed down or miss a beat. The camera no longer closes. Yup that apk I had was messing up my phone. Note to self don't install pre release apk's and wait for official app updates from the Google play store.

Glad it's working
