Sluggish camera

[jeffrok]

Anyone else have slow camera startup and jerky viewfinder/snapping of photos? Any known fix for it? Picture quality is fine, one I actually I get to take it, and hopefully the moment hasn't passed!

I get that sometimes, and it's super annoying. I also keep my phone pretty clean, in terms of not having a bunch of crap apps. It usually fixes itself after restarting, but that takes 90 seconds, which isn't exactly convenient.

I know this isn't a fix, but I do love that it's possible to launch the camera by double tapping the power button. It saves a few seconds of using the phones screen interface. You can do this when the phone is locked.

And I take pictures by pressing a volume key, which makes single hand pics easier and less jittery.

I have a love hate relationship with the double tap power button shortcut. I accidentally turn my camera on at strange times, like when trying to pocket my phone..

Yeah I had to shut off the double tap power button after looking like a creep with it flashing one too many times

Camera for me is garbage on top of taking too long to load up, it takes forever to focus.

I have found disabling the battery optimization will speed things up. I have disable it completely for everything with battery issues and my nexus 6 runs fast.
