Firmware 28.0.A.8.251 Update = MAJOR camera lag!! - Xperia Z4/Z3+ General

While it is undeniable that the new Firmware 28.0.A.8.251 upgrade boosted the overall performance of the Z4, I experienced a major camera lag after the update. The lag is especially noticeable when the camera is in AR mode. It lags so bad that it is almost impossible to take pictures with the special AR effects. This lag was not presented prior to the firmware update because I have been playing around with the AR mode.
Has anyone else experience this camera lag in the AR mode? I'm wondering if this is an isolated or an across the board problem.

If you mean in the initial startup of an AR app then yes but after that not so much here, tried wipind camera data? And was it a clean upgrade or just an update?

It was a clean update. I wiped everything then proceed with the update.
What do you mean by initial start up? for me it lagged throughout the whole time the camera was in AR mode. It lags so bad that the sound effect and the display are not in sync. I'm started to worry that it might just be an isolated event on my phone.

@projectseahorse Did you try this -> settings - apps - all - camera - clear data - clear cache?

I have to say I can't tell a difference in my camera app. It's still pretty slow. Hoping the 5.1.1 update will fix it

Cool App specific issues usually get solved this way. System wide ones are the painful ones and needs that magical 'repair'

@glovesave At least it did't become slower in your case like it did in OP's case Camera app opens up faster on the update. But post-processing & saving pictures are still slow. There's definitely room for improvement. You could speed up things a little bit for now by using manual mode as it bypasses Sony's 8mp auto mode down-sampling.

Oh cool I'll give that a try thanks

Slow camera n stuff.

Hi folks. I have put r2ba026 on my phone, first from the java root update, and now from an se repair install followed by the one touch root. Since running this firmware I've noticed that the camera is rubbish, the autofocus always results in blurry shots and the video is worse as it kind of wavers and looks odd. Also the phone seems to slow up sometimes and only a reboot gets it back. Could the one touch root have done this? I have the latest busybox, i have a root cache cleaner and a good task killer etc but dont know what else i can do to improve things... has anyone else noticed this and if so, could you fix it?

For the camera issues I'd suggest Vignette. Its already my default Camera app
No idea why your phone is sluggish... mine is blazing fast with R2BA026
I did got the same problem with my phone since i got 026 update. Images were blurry and any small movement from my hand during taking the picture makes it very blurry.
I didn't got this problem when i bought the phone( it was on 014 i guess ).
I didn't root mine so i guess it's not the rooting method that did this.
May not be related, but I had the same problem on ..24, but once I removed all my task killers the camera focus started working properly again. Also, I used to have a few dropped calls, and those stopped too.
It would not focus close up and most shots unless of a landscape were blurry.
I now use the standard camera mostly, and Vignette (purchased) for arty style photos, and the focus works fast and accurately.
I have System Panel (free version) as the only app installed for task management.
Hmmm. My task killer is system panel to. Paid version... I will remove it and also try the camera app you mention. Ta

Also uninstall any other camera apps you might have like Camera360
Unfortunately the video will still be crap and out of focus when shooting a close subject until the 2.1 update
I removed system and it does seem better though I might be imagining it. As for the camera, I tried vignette and didn't really like it. Then I realised that the 26 update had image stabilisation off by default. Turned it back on and its much better.... not fantastic, but better. Will do till our dev dudes allow me to tell SE to stick their android up their clackers.

Turn off the image stabilizers in setting if you don't want blurry pictures.As for the camera lag,it the SE software.

[SOLUTION] How to fix 4.4 camera (for non-root users)

Hi everyone,
After few days of playing with the 4.4 firmware, I found out that the camera takes very long time to boot, and sometimes it says "Camera not available". But fear not, here's the solution for it, don't need to root your phone or switch back to 4.3 Jellybean.
1. Go to Settings > Apps > All.
2. Look for Camera, Camera common and Camera extension
3. Force stop and clear all the data.
That's it! You're good to go. I hope this helps a lot of people

Then I don't know how to fix already. It works on mine tho. Maybe it's because of firmware update instead of clean install? Maybe clean install don't have the bugs lol.
Still no camera for me neither... Tried PCC, also tried complete wipe including boot and internal sdcard. No luck...

My camera works, but the start up time is too long, also focusing is not as fast as it used to be. I updated via pcc but in reality such problems are unacceptable for sony, with things not working for some, and working for others after updates.
Funny thing is I had the camera bug and after clearing data and etc it was Ok but I start getting the sound bug right after that weird...now I went back to 4.3 til the next update

My problem is that the phone overheats too frequently after taking a couple of pics in the day. I never had this issue before the update. Pissed off. For the first time ever, I'm considering downgrading.

Ah, yet another pointless reply from eclyptos
I think i dont have the Bug becouse i wiped everything SD Card, Data, System and Cache/Dalvik Cache and i didnt restore a Backup i installed everything manually again on 4.4 so i guess thats why i dont have any bug at all. I saw someone writing about false Structure on SD Card and if you restore Backups, so this might be the tricky Part where Users get the bugs from.

True. This is how have to be done.
some issues, not so major ones though
white balance is messed up, getting a strange white light from nowhere on right side of image when in landscape.
Also, AR effect was hanging up when I clicked a photo before saving it. After the steps in this thread, that one issue is gone, but the main camera is too messed up. 4.2 was better.
till now I was against putting custom roms in my z1, but now, if a rom includes the z2 camera app in a stable config, then I am going for it.
I used the repair option, so far the camera opens normally now and no lag yet. I really don't want to reset my phone each time a new firmware comes out.

Love it. Seems a little buggy occasionally, slows down or apps crash. I may do a backup and factory reset/restore and see if that's better.
When it's not slowing down it's very snappy. Notifications are awesome.
I wish lockscreen notifications were a little more customizable. Only options available are:
Show all content
Hide Sensitive Content
Do not show notifications
What's missing is one that should say, "Do not show persistent notifications" For instance, I use copy bubble and sprint direct connect which are always in my notification panel. I had to turn that off or it will always show up on my lock screen.
I can't attest to touchwiz, I looked at it for a moment and then went back to Nova.

I like that it's smoother, but for a second i thought my update had reverted. I was hoping it had a more lollipop look, but i guess i can't complain.
As for the recents app, it's not as instant as i would like it to be , but that's fine too. I wish xposed worked because this DPI is driving me crazy, it's so ****ing big!.
overall i like it more than kitkat, just because it's lollipop and buttery smooth. Customization should come soon, so I will just to wait patiently.
Battery life is horrible! I hope I can go back to kk without issues. Did this update radio?

Mine seems pretty good. I've been using it checking it out all day.
Have you cleared the cache and restarted afterwards?
The update/upgrade was not running smooth. Jerky screen, some apps crashing. Then I did factory reset and reinstalled my apps fresh. Now it is very responsive.
The only thing I can't figure out is why my pictures in /storage/extSdCard/DCIM/Camera/ are not visible in the Gallery app. New pictures taken with the camera are saved in that same directory and are visible, but not the old ones. They are visible however in a file explorer.
In fact none of the media files on my extSdCard are visible in Gallery or Video. They are only visible in a file explorer.
Otherwise I like it....even the weird colors.
To get the Gallery to see the old photos and videos, I created new empty folders using a file manager then copied the photo/video contents of the old folders into the new empty folders.
so far so good on my end... I did a hard reset after the update and have yet to experience any bugs, lags, or force closes. I use the Google Now Launcher and the new animations look great. Can't speak for battery life yet as I just updated this morning but I'm not too worried as the Note 4 has always been great.
I did notice when I was initially on TouchWiz the status bar had a gradient tint to it... anyone else seeing this? It had always been fully transparent before
My battery life seems better with lollipop. I love the new colors in messaging. And i can't remember but the keyboard seems different. I like it a lot more the letters seem spaced out a little further and makes it easier to type.

Mines decent
It's like having a new phone. It's just that smooth. Samsung should be proud of their work.
OTOH, I love the new colors during the day, but at night it would be awesome to have a blacked out color scheme.
Agree with someone else's comment that it feels like an entirely new phone (even though Kitkat wasn't that bad).
Havent had it long enough to test battery life. Do wish there was the ability to swipe between tabs like the dialer and the ability to remove persistent notifications.
Lollipop FTW

I would suggest the data reset option. I was having similar crash/slowness
So I uberwiped the phone in TWRP, then ODIN back to NK2 KK, upgraded OTA to L, did another factory data reset, then set up phone/rooted/installed TWRP. Phone is wayyyy faster and more responsive and zero crashes now
I scored a 52408 on ANTUTU benchmark with a stock rom and kernel.
Can not wait for custom LP roms, this phone will be killer at that point

You have to remember, the OTA update was over 1GB (compressed) and it completely rewrote the phones memory AND changed the run time to ART. You should probably expect some issues

Axon 7 improvements on Nougat?

Can anyone who has downloaded the update comment on the improvements?
Also, is the camera any better (especially in low light)?
I've only used it for a little while but seems almost the same to me, just different notifications... Maybe things load faster?
On my end, it was horrendously slow, looked the same and camera lagged. Went back to LOS.
Collective Dolby Atmos Port Thread OP checking in. Any noticeable changes to Dolby Atmos for this device?
Inc Axon 7 Atmos Update if so.
Stock music player randomly stops. Flashlight from pull down bar doesn't always work. Dolby kills the battery faster than on MM. No problems with the camera so far. My Voice has some issues still.
My thoughts on the update so far:
1) Camera is MUCH improved. Focuses much faster and more accurately in low light (which was awful before). Much better low light pix.
2) Notifications are different. I don't like them (yet). Seem harder to read.
3) Tapping the fingerprint sensor to load up camera doesn't work
4) A fee misc bugs here and there but overall speedy and much faster
5) Can't tell battery life yet as its been less than 24 hrs.
6) Signal ? seems stronger
7) Everything else seems the same.

I can only compare LOS 14.1 to Marshmallow but the focus is MUCH improved on LOS 14.1 Nougat. Low light shots are pretty freaking great on LOS 14.1. I don't know a lot of what is going on but all I can say is that it seems much improved on LOS. Maybe UDev included some proprietary camera stuff in LOS?
EDIT: I've only been on LOS for one day and have taken all of 12 or so shots so definitely not a for sure thing. Just giving you my 2 cents.

No noticeable changes to Dolby Atmos, but the over-all sound seems slightly louder...But it may just be a placebo since there's other new stuff.
But as far as actual sound, it's all the same.

As for Nougat vs Marshmallow....
It's mostly "cosmetic" up to this point IMO.
I like the notifications a little better.
I haven't messed with the camera much (none in low light, yet)
Battery will take a few days to level out, so it's hard to tell yet on that
For the most part, it does feel about the same - but maybe a little smoother, but that may be some of the animation tweaks (like swiping away notifications).
Notifications expand a little different, I like that.
Double tap to wake seems to fade in, rather than instantly turn on the screen.
Over-all system seems louder... I've had to turn down my keyboard "sounds" on the apps I switch between (depending on the day)
I *still* wish there was a dark theme
Gonna update now, and then do a factory reset and start fresh with the phone. Did they update the music app? Can i finally play music in album order and not alphabetical? I really hope GPS speed is improved as well
Dolby EQ still won't let you customize the EQ and the sound is definitely louder, i only have to use 50% volume now with my ath-50 now before I'd have to use 80-90%.
With Dolby turned off the sound profile is the same but with Dolby enabled it's sounding different to me especially on YT, idk if i like it yet.

You can customize the EQ.... Open the Dolby Atmos app, choose the profile you want to change (Movie, Music, Game, Voice, ect...), click on it again and it will take you to the next screen where you can adjust the EQ (5 band EQ) and turn on or off: Volume Leveler, Dialogue Enhancer, Surround Virtualizer, ect.. .You also have 4 preset EQ's to pick from. Once you set it, you just back out and it saves it. It's always been this way.

Still MiFavor.... But, with some subtle changes. For the most part, it's still the same... The settings is now JUST the normal Android settings menu, not the "quick list" that nobody used (ok, I didn't use). But with Nova Launcher, it's pretty stock looking... Just the pull-down notification hasn't changed any.

8 Pro significant video recording lag and stutter

Hi,
I have been using my Oneplus 8 Pro Black 8GB RAM version and noticed that when recording videos it stutters for 2-4 seconds on all settings both when recording and in the finished processed result.
Its overall sluggish and reacts very slow when moving the phone around both with video and photos.
This is a pretty big issue for me, actually a deal breaker. I had a few complaints about some other, mainly software problems and I got over it because it's the best phone I thought. But with this lag it's a no go.
It's not always there, but it's there.
Is it fixable? Because am I am loving the phone and would like to keep it but with this problem I would definitely have to return it.
Anybody having this issue? Any suggestion?
PS: I wanted to post a video but I am not allowed.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Could you post a sample of this issue? Are you on the latest update? Are you using the stock app? Have you tried doing a cache wipe?
I am on the latest update, using stock app. I didnt try Cash wipe.
Here is one video. The stutter is at the beginning in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fK72ha1TXU
Yes, I can see the stutter. I suggest go ahead with the cache wipe in the stock recovery to see if that helps, try clearing the cache of the camera app too.
If that doesn't solve the issue, I advise you to contact customer support and explain this to them.
Also you might want to create a thread on the official forums, they're following that better.
This is definitely a software issue most likely fixable via an update. If this only happens at the start then I'd just start recording a couple of seconds earlier to be able to cut the part out of the finished video.
One more thing. Does this happen on every setting? 4k60, 4k30, 1080p60, 1080p30? What about the rest of the video modes?

One more thing. Does this happen on every setting? 4k60, 4k30, 1080p60, 1080p30? What about the rest of the video modes?

Where can I do the cache wipe in the stock recovery. I did the cache wipe in the camera app, didnt help.
I posted it on the offical forum, only few people had this problem. Which makes me wonder, when its a common problem, then its beeing reported by more people not few.
It seems that it only appears on 4K 30 AND 60 FPS, not on 1080p but I have to test that in the morning.
When I cant solve this problme, I will return the phone. I had the dilemma, which phone to keep (S10 +, S20 + or this one), i decided OnePlus but with this no chance.
Ok, I cleared camera apps cache and phones cache. After it didnt help at all, I did factory reset, it didnt help too. So I am out of options.

Is playback choppy? Or just recording.
FHD screen or QHD?
What OS? 5.4, 5.5, 5.6?
What video Size? 4K 1080, 60fps or 30
But more info mate
Both are choppy, recording and playback. It occurs in 4K 30, 60 FPS in QHD+, 120Hz, with the newest OS 10.5.6 from yesterday.
Hmmm, just tested the video and I don't seem to have this although I do get phone slow down and input lag. Perhaps they're related? Maybe I need to wait for the input lag and slow down for the video to go funny.

Yeah I got these stutters too sometimes idk what the cause is
It seems that either not many people have this problem or its not recognized from many of them.
I saw only few complaints on the net.

Ditto - Same here - no problem. Just setting up my phone, and have not messed with camera settings at all.
I am hoping for some solutions soon, I contacted the support too. Otherwise I have to return the phone. Which is pity, because I love it.

I think I notice it with HDR on, HDR off seems to improve it?

When you have this problem, you would have already noticed it. It is very distinctive. HDR doesn't make any difference by me. However the lag seems to be more present with 4K 60FPS then with 30 FPS.
I been having this issue since day one. Sometimes framses drop to 10 and is very annoying. I contacted one plus and they suggested a replacement. They didn't have too many cases of the frame drop at the time but it seems they are all out of stock so a replacement will take awhile. Shame cause I think the phone is awesome.

My solution has been to use the latest gcam version. It supports 4k 60p now. It maxes out at 100mbps so you lose a little data rate. But I've been hearing about this black crush issue so may need to send it back
Are the people with stutter using the 12 or 8gb version?

I have 8GB version, but I saw in forums people having this problem with the 12GB version too.
On the site from OnePlus they are out of stock, but on Amazon you can order any version of the phone. I don't get it.
I will try gcam
Me too on 8gb, 10.5.6. Oneplus support advised to wait for a future software update. Tried hard reset, cache wipe, app cache clear, to no success......
