[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] jms.flynn:
I have also had this problem. The camera app is trash. The battery and screen are the only things going for this overpriced junk. Sony should deliver more for the price they are asking.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] iArvee:
Are you on the latest firmware? And are you saving to the Internal storage or sd card?

Camera app is fine. Sell it and move on if you're not happy.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] nirvananils:
Yes latest firmware. Device is great, also pictures if it works with camera
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] chesterr:
I am having the same issues. and I am on the latest firmware. And set to internal storage.

Camera app is trash, It's slowest app on the entire phone. I don't have any issues on other apps loading but Camera app takes seconds to load.

Like the OP said photos are being processed and it's not saved for a long time. Need a restart of the entire phone to get them to work.

Then again sometimes photos are saved as green, like complete useless.

And you shouldn't say like sell it and move on cause us/consumers bought this phone paying $1000 because we have a trust in the company, And I have been using Sony for the past decade, I always had problems with their camera app. It's so laggy.

From the start to transition of three cameras then video recording lag, no smoothness in zooming in during video etc. But why I buy Sony? cause I have a faith that in some point they will fix it, but they never do. Then you may ask why I still buy Sony cause I love the design and as a hardware product Sony has a very minimal failure rate. Like my XZP I have used for entire two years, never gave me a single issue except for laggyness of the camera.

So when someone comes and complains an issue in Q&A and when they are really pointing out a real issue don't say "Sell it and Move on if you're not happy." it's like you're making Sony Mobile extinct. Your attitude makes them wanna quit mobile developing. So think about it before say something like this before, Don't be that guy in the internet. :highfive:
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] iArvee:
Camera does load slow, but I can live with it. Photos do not take a long time to process. I don't need to restart my phone in order to get them to work. Photos never saved as green for me. But of course, my experience is different from others.

Never had recording lag. Smoothness well yeah it's not smooth. I bought Sony because I like Sony as well. Have been using Xperia since 2014.

Do a software repair, which usually fixes 99% of all problems. I'm just saying, if you're not happy, then sell and move on. Complaining won't get you anywhere, will only get you so far.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] chesterr:
No you can't live with that, It's a real bummer that it takes ages to load, I mean it's 2019 and take a look at other OEMs how much attention they pay to their cameras. This is why Sony is lagging behind. Look how much Sony's other divisions listen to consumer. I don't think I can accept the fact that it takes like 2 seconds to load the app. There was a time Camera app was really fast to open.

If you're saying it doesn't take a long time to process then clearly you've been using a different phone, cause my Xperia 1 is taking a long time to process some photos and it needs to be restarted as well.

Well Zooming in isn't really smooth if you hadn't used it, This proves how often do you use the camera app. It's like these things are new to you.

Have you used a compact camera? or a camcorder? It's like that. https://youtu.be/WHpo-Dl4yt4?t=465

Take a look at this and see cause he literally explains the smoothness on zooming in and the recording. Frames dropping when the phone gets heated up.

Then again I feel like this 960fps is fun to use when you get it first but how often do you use it. I'd rather have 1080p 120fps/240fps, 4K 24fps/30fps/60fps and a smooth transition in cameras which is totally can be done by software. Sony needs to focus on the camera app and be serious about it. I mean they headed in the right direction with this phone but they cut it off immediately by delivering a mediocre camera software. I wouldn't mind them contacting Google and asking them to use Gcam on this phone, like literally let google use Googles software cause it's that bad. I use it and I take photos and I do love the photos comes out of this phone, I genuinely do and I wanna use the camera a lot but I get bored and tired of using it cause the restrictions they have.

View attachment 4857189 Have a look at this photo, I mean people asked me if I did take it with my phone and they didn't believe, I did some colour adjustments to my liking with LR, but still it does take amazing photos but I feel like it can do more but holding back.

Bro why would I be doing software repairs for silly problems like this? This easily can be fixed with a software update. Plus If I keep doing software updates for each and every problem I have with the phone, I would be only doing that but not using the phone. SOFTWARE REPAIR IS NOT A FIX.

Sony should serious about smart phone cameras as they're with mirrorless and RX-100 series. Don't say sell it and move on to a guy who's been using Sony phones from 2005 when Sony was with Ericsson, when Sony was having some of the best camera phones.: highfive:
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] iArvee:
I can live with it. Because I'm patient. I'm not sure how you can dictate if I can live with how things are or not. Again, the photos process fast for me without any problems. Regardless if I save on the SD card or internal storage.

Software repair is a fix for some issues. Hence "repair". It solves a lot of software problems. You've been using phones since 2005? Congrats! AFAIK, there's internal struggles with their Alpha cameras and mobile, hence the bad connection between the two. The current (new) president of Sony mobile was the first to "unite" them in a way.

But anyways, you have your opinions, I have mine. Don't try to force your way on me, especially from someone who has been "using Sony phones from 2005".

I suggested a fix via Software Repair. If it doesn't work, complain on the proper forum; or sell and move on.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] blegs:
Ok i have this problem too... And its really annoying because when i want to find it in my album last pic that i took its not there
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Efe64:
Had this problem to.

Hard reset fixed it for me. (Hold volume up + power until 3 times vibration)

I have to agree with you chesterr...

This isnt the way Sony handled us. Btw Using Sony (ericsson) since the phones with the first color screens.

Cmon, its a flagship phone. How can your phone/app be laggy?

Look at the sections of sony phones, its just empty.

Why?

Because of the "I am sony, I am high class" logic.

I know they are busy with the new android but atleast fix those minor bugs.. Its really frustating. It has nothing to do with patience. What if you need to take a picture of a fast moving object? Shoot out with "hey wait I have patience! Im gonna take a picture"!?

Be realistic. No offence of course.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] BloodEdge:
in gallory app, there is a troubleshooting option in in-app settings, it can solve ur problem.

or, you can disable sony's gallory app, use other gallory app like Google Photos instead.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] doungmli:
Oddly I do not have this problem with the launch of the camera. It does not even take a half-second to open the application, taking photos longer is quite logical because there is an intermediate (the dram). Moreover, the xperia 5, which does not have dram, taking photos is faster. For unregistered photos I wonder if this is not a material design defect related to the dram since there are only some people who are concerned and not all of the users.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Efe64:
The problem is launching from the lockscreen with the camera button. Camera icon works flawlessly.

So the dram chip is a complete failure then?

https://www.sonymobile.com/be/legal/testresults/xperia-xz1/#gref

Its supposed to be 5 times faster?
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] doungmli:
the dram is actually much faster but acts like a cache. So in practice, the data is stored on the dram then the internal memory or the microsd and a delay is mandatory. The advantage of the dram is to be able to offer a better bursts or an idle 960 fps. A good example for the transfer delay is in a reflex camera where you can see the buffer empty during a burst. But for unregistered photos a problem of dram is not an exclude it is only flash memory and in this area it's pretty recurrent I had several defective ssd or ram to the purchase . Obviously this is only an assumption I would prefer that it is purely software for those concerned by the problem

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Even from the lockscren I do not have that, after the camera is torn down in the android battery optimization, and I activated the smart launch as well as the immediate take. That may be the difference.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Efe64:
"it is purely software for those concerned by the problem"

^ This

Its like the newest BMW M5 got gearproblems but you dont recall it.

So i guess i need to reset my phone then.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] doungmli:
I hope it's software but weird that not all models are affected in this case, maybe a poorly done update. Always tried a repair / reset, if it still may be a hardware defect, I had once had a problem recording 960 fps on the premium xz and that was the dram the problem

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Also try to uncheck the camera in android optimization to launch the application from the lockscreen, it has tandence to be quite aggressive

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

Yes, tried I hope your problem will be solved. Have a good day
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Efe64:
Android optimization? How?
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] SnazIsSnaz:
I made an account just to reply here for whoever may one day face this issue - I just purchased an xperia XZ [I know its 2021 and its from 2016] anyway, I love xperia phones and am replacing my xperia z3+

Anyway!

TO FIX THIS =============================

First test to verify --- REMOVE YOUR SD CARD [Can you see your photos?]

IF YES

THEN

FORMAT YOUR SD CARD AS EXTERNAL / INTERNAL STORAGE [whichever option you are allowed I chose external]

Your problem will then be fixed.

I tried transferring my sd card from previous xperia directly to my new one and thats what caused this problem.

I hope this helps you, don't be upset, its a wonderful device.... <3

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripee:
If your current build is one of enes's old zero builds that you managed to boot on your phone after flashing additional zip fixes in twrp, you can try dirty flashing my build because my zenlte sources are adapted from enes's zero sources. Do not flash any other zip fixes with my builds, and make sure to wipe cache and dalvik after flashing all the files and before rebooting into system.

There is no (zenltejv) in your Google drive :(

Proper install method explained

Hello!

Please, [MENTION=6569827]Nik001[/MENTION], update the OP with the install method that I'm going to describe next, ok?

It's just to avoid future complications (lost of Wi-Fi, sound, etc...) for "not that experienced users".

Your bootloader must be unlocked. If it's not, then follow step 1 of the instructions provided HERE.

Download TWRP zip file and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)

Download TWRP img file and and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC

Open a cmd line and execute these commands (being on that folder, of course):

adb devices (to make sure your device is detected)

adb reboot bootloader (to reboot into fastboot mode)

fastboot getvar current-slot (to check what's your current active slot)

fastboot set_active b (if your active slot was a, if it was b then change it to a)

fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-2-unofficial-laurel_sprout.img

fastboot reboot (

NOTE

: Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System)​

When TWRP recovery boots, if you have a stock boot.img that matches the build on this "currently active" slot, flash it into boot partition. If you don't have, then just ignore this step...(it's not mandatory)

Install the TWRP zip (always install the latest build available)

Change slot to the one that was active on the beginning of these steps and reboot to Recovery (just to make sure that the slot, in fact, was changed)

Reboot to System

Why do I suggest this?

By doing this method (which seems more complicated but, trust me, it's how it should be done) we will flash TWRP img into the "inactive" slot, thus, not breaking anything on the "currently active" slot. When TWRP boots, it will patch both slots boot ramdisks. But the thing is, on the "currently active" slot (the one inactive on the beginning) it will patch the TWRP img but, on the "currently inactive" slot (the one that was active on the beginning), it will patch the stock boot.img, thus, no bug will happen that usually appears when a user accidentally flashes the wrong boot.img into boot partition.

On the other hand, if we have a stock boot.img, that matches the build on the "inactive" slot, we could flash it into boot partition before installing the zip that patches ramdisk. By doing this we will patch both stock boot.img present on both slots (instead of patching TWRP img and boot.img).

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Typhus_:
So, in other words, your method is this (correct me if I'm wrong):

Download TWRP zip file and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)

Download TWRP img file and and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC

Open a cmd line and execute these commands (beeing on that folder, of course):

adb devices (to make sure your device is detected)

adb reboot bootloader (to reboot into fastboot mode)

fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-2-unofficial-laurel_sprout.img

fastboot reboot (

NOTE

: Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System)​

Flash stock boot.img that matches your current build using TWRP install Image feature, into boot partition

Install the TWRP zip (always install the latest build available)

Reboot to System

Is that it?

If it is, the only downside I see is that, when a new version comes out (through OTA for example), you'll first need to get your hands on a stock boot.img that matches the new build.

Right?

Cheers!

What about flashing this on an already rooted phone with Magisk modules and the previously available TWRP by mauronofrio? Any complicated procedures? Is slot changing etc still necessary?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Typhus_:
In that case, obviously, simply flash the new TWRP zip.

The install method I've explained is for everyone who never had TWRP, or Magisk patched boot, installed on the device.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] garylawwd:
Just flash the zip in twrp that you have.

That's what I did and it worked no problem on pe ROM
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Makishima:
I did as you said but it says 'NOTE: You are now unrooted!'. Do I need to flash Magisk again?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Typhus_:
Yes, that's right.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Typhus_:
Oh, and I forgot... if you're still on Android 10 the TWRP I recommend, where everything works as it should, is the one built by @mauronofrio.
