Motorola Droid X2 :: 2.3.4 Camera Performance Is Really Slow
Oct 17, 2011
so when the soak of 2.3.4 was out it seemed to me like a mostly 'under the hood' fix, and addressed a few bugs.After having lived with it for a while, some of the shine is wearing off.While they made some progress having the phone be a worthwhile mp3 player, now the camera app has suffered.The camera is really slow.It took me 9 tries this afternoon to get a shot with flash.The camera is so slow that the flash would pop before the shot was taken!

Last night I used Skype for the first time on my turbo. Today I see that the front facing camera is slow/shaky for a lack of a better word. I have to be super still to take a pic.

I was looking for opinions from the GSM users on the latest GB version. Is it better/worse/different than previous versions?
I briefly used the .606 version in the UK last week. My impressions:
1) I got more bars than I saw under Froyo. These were very unreliable under Froyo, it was perfectly possible to make calls with 1 or zero bars, so this might have been fixed.
2) I saw the new data icons, H, 3G, E and G. For my eyes, the new icons with the background were harder to see, I had to look closer to see if that was an H or a G!
3) Battery was used more quickly than under CDMA. I don't think this was GB change as I had seen it before, and I wasn't sure if it really due to the difference in protocol or merely because I am in a strong CDMA area here and a weaker GSM one in the UK.

My Bionic has been wonderful since I got it in September. Starting (I think) yesterday, it is very slow.As an example, after I enter my 4 digit code, it sits for a second or two before I shows me the home screen.I also noticed that when I come back in, it's always on the main screen. It used to be one the screen that was showing when I turned it off.I was thinking it is probably some app update I got, but the homescreen thing makes me think not.Short of a master reset, does anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening, or how to trace it?

One of the reasons I wound up returning my D2 G during the trial period was iffy Bluetooth performance. I could not get phone to download the address book to my car's (BMW 328i) on board system, it constantly broke the connect, and generally did not work well. The situation seems to be night and day with the D3. Whatever Motorola has changed, is definitely for the better. It syncs ot my system instantly, offers a strong and crystal clear connection, and has been very stable overall.

I used to get pretty good life out of my stock bionic battery. I updated the OTA update early today and since then the battery level has been going down at almost 10% every 30 - 40 mins. Following is the list in my battery usage queue. This is after I did a system reset and left my phone without any new apps (except for facebook).
Display 30%
Android System 17%
com.motorola.contacts 12%
Android OS 9%
com.motorola.home 8% ....
I am planning to charge it to 100% and then see how it behaves. Will keep this thread posted with stats from my phone.

So, I had horrible battery performance after the update. I figured I would do a cache wipe. Normally this erased battery history, but not this time. The gap is during the wipe. Notice the average slope before and after
I wish they could push an update that doesn't require this crap, but its never happened.

I have heard many conflicting versions of the optimal way to maximize the battery's life. It would be great to get some clarity from the experts.
1. Can you charge the phone at any time or should the battery be drawn all of the way down?
2. Once the battery is fully charged, should it be immediately disconnected from the charger, or is it OK to leave the charger attached?
3. if you are using the device, and it is below full charge, is it OK to have it charging while you are using it?

this is really more of a question for sprint than for apple. but i'm asking here to see if others have the same issue.is it just me, or are others on sprint service experiencing slow video performance (from Internet, facebook, or any video streaming app)? both with and without wi-fi. after resetting network connection, it was better for rest of the day, then right back to slow and resetting
info:
iphone 4s, ios 5.1, sprint service

I upgraded to Belle on Saturday and ever since then I'm suffering from long delays any time I send or receive a message or the phone connects to the internet.
When I send a message I have to wait 10-20 seconds before the phone becomes usable again, and it takes about 10 seconds to open a new message too.

Anyway, if it was, that would make it a pretty nice low-light performer, at least on paper. Low-light performance is really important to me (and I hate how flash ruins shots), but I can't seem to find any info on this. Does anyone know?

Anything to do with dialing, I'll touch the contact I want to dial and it will take up to 20 seconds for the phone to resond. Other times, I'll end up touching the contact twice and by the time it connects, the phone is asking me to merge calls..I'm running 2.2.1 OTA, I'm rooted, but have not made any changes, no ROM's, pretty straight forward. I just took the phone in to a VZW store a few weeks back and they did a full reset on it. Can the dialer cache get full?

For the past several weeks, my D3 (got it the day they came out) has become intermittently slow. Sometimes it takes several seconds to respond to a screen touch - most often when placing a phone call. There have been times that it takes 20 or more seconds (sometimes more than a minute) to change to the phone app. Where the request to make a call used to happen instantaneously, it now never happens in less than several seconds.Yes, other apps show slowness on occasion, but none as slow as the phone app.I don't recall adding a particular app and then noticing the slowness.I've gone through the running programs and killed some - no effect on the slowness.I've rebooted and seen improvement - and not, usually not.I've removed several apps that I was not using - no change.It is a stock phone with stock apps and a few common/popular downloaded apps that mainly deal with weather, flying, and tasks/notes.

the wifi on my X has become increasingly slow but only on the down stream connection. speed is about 500kbs where upstream is 5.5mbs. vie tested other devises on wifi and they all get in the 12-20mbs range, and prior to noticing this i had tested my x with 8-12mbs down. nothing has changed on the router since this has occurred. after struggling to try and fix it, i reset my droid to factory and it still its a wall at 500kbs. i used speed test for both the old numbers and new numbers. both the app and the website agree on speeds the device is getting over a wifi connection. after this i also tried changing the settings to an open network that did not advertise its ssid, this did not change the results. the tests that had the 8-12 range were done from july last year to december, i switched routers in october so i was testing frequently for awhile. both routers had roughly the same speed for the droid but were faster for 5ghz range N devices.I first noticed the slower speed in late january and started testing then router is a netgear wndr3700?

My email application is very slow when selecting/unselecting/opening emails... I believe the reason is because i have over 4000 emails in the phone system but I cannot find a way to limit the # of emails stored, OR the # of days back to keep emails. Any suggestions? Do you know how to limit the # of emails? or store back to a maximum # of days... 7, 10 or 14 days?

Does Motorola intentionally make their new products inferior at release?I've been using a Droid and a Droid 2 for about 18 months.I shoot a lot of pictures outdoors, some macro, lots of nature and concerts.I also shoot indoors under challenging conditions (concert lighting.) They have both prtovided a passable point-and-shoot camera.The Droid 3 camera is dissapointing in that several important features have vanished:
-There is auto white balance, only a manual and difficult-to-use control.
-The user can no longer set ISO
-The user can no longer set EV
-Focus is iffy under a variety of conditions
-Photos have a bluish cast under most conditions, with and without flash
So instead of getting pretty good shots with a convenient camera, I'm getting washed-out, bluish garbage.(Issues with the video vs. Droid 2 also, in a separate post.)I want to know if Motorola intends to make the experience of this camera catch up with the spec soon, or if i should return my phone while I can still get something else from Verizon.

After playing a game, or using Gmail app, or using the stock texting s/w, etc. when I go back to the home screen there is this bothersome latency with repopulating the screen with my icons and the "basic icons" (such as phone, texting, apps, etc.) at the bottom. Is there something I can try with the app manager, or some other utility that will tell me what's causing this latency?

I've been having issues with my phone taking up to 5 seconds for my phone to load my widgets and applications on my home screen when I press the home key. I'm constantly killing apps and it seems that when I "fast reboot" my phone and restart the core processes the phone is back to normal again.

I have noticed that my phone is very slow connecting to the Internet when it first turns on or after it has been sitting for awhile. It takes about a minute or so for it to finally get going it just hangs there at first. Some sites take longer than others but they all do it. Once it grabs its good until you set it down again

I have noticed that the latest update has caused the auto brightness feature to really lag. It seems to take 3-5 seconds after I wake the phone for the brightness to adjust properly and at times it won't adjust at all-too dim in bright light, too bright in dim light. Before it was almost instant. Tried all the usual things, safe mode, reseting, etc.

When connecting my Droid Bionic to my laptop via USB cable for charging purposes, the phone will charge very slowly. I have left the Bionic on the cable for 3 1/2 to 4 hours and only see an increase in the charge of the phone of about 10%. I have installed the Motorola mobile drivers, and still no better performance. I have used multiple cables, and tried different USB ports to see if ther was any change. I have attempted while the laptop is conneced to power, and when it is running off battery, no difference.

Having a new problem finding and connecting to wifi hotspots / routers. When phone was new it used to find a list of available networks very quickly and connect to previously used networks without a problem.Now (only a few weeks old) the phone takes 2-3 minutes to "scan" for networks, then takes another 30sec or a minute to connect.Can't think of any settings I've changed which might have caused this. Have not installed any 3rd party wifi apps either.

Every since the jellybean update I've had nothing but problems. The device is always running slow, it is not smooth like butter there is a lag. And when I'm listening to music its cuts in and out as if it were a scratched cd. I've tried doing a factory restore and it didn't help. That's what Verizon suggested and it didn't work. Also Verizon's fix to everything is to send out a certified refurbished phone and I don't want that. I bought my phone brand new and I know nothings happened to my phone I don't want to a phone I know nothing about. Also I've noticed that not one of all the call recording apps work on the droid razr hd.

I used my Droid Turbo a month ago to shoot some outdoor pictures and the camera worked great. Today, however I attempted to use the camera and the app froze and the phone rebooted. I uninstalled the built-in camera updates and reinstalled them and the result was the same - load the app and the phone reboots. I tried installing another camera app and the result was the same as the built-in camera app.

I have a Samsung s4 active and all of a sudden the sound stopped working on my phone. Someone suggested a factory reset so I done that and it made my phone worse (froze all the time and took ages to start up) then someone suggested to wipe the cache partition? So I done that and it worked for less than 20 mins and went back to the same issue. Sometimes the start up sound works but barely ever. Can't even hear sound on phone calls.
