camera became super slow

Hello guys,

I'm writing here because I've been running some frustrating problems with the htc camera application on my M8.

I run stock firmware, stock rom. never did any kind of flashing-modding or whatsoever, although I am not completely sure since it is a second hand phone. When i got it, it came on kitkat. I then upgraded directly to marshmallow.

Here are my actual software information: Android 6.0 / Software number: 6.16.708.1 / Kernel Version: 3.4.0 -perf-ga6393e1and@AABM #1 SMP PREEMPT. Build number: 6.16.708.1 CL683910 release-keys.

I used the phone for one month without a problem. Then, for roughly two weeks my phone run minor random crashes with a very weird soft reset of certain application setting after the reboot. I.E: I had to log back again on all my app which required log in: spotify, wechat, even whastapp once, etc. Every time the home screen would show me the "how-to-use" tips as if it was the very first time I run the phone.
The camera became unusable: once opened, every button on screen was unusable. It didn't take photo, it didn't go to settings. nothing of nothing. It couldn't even show the bottom buttons for returning back to the home screen or managing the multi task. The whole interface seemed to be completely unresponsive.

Two days ago, I decided to factory reset through the recovery and reinstall everything.
Everything seemed fine.... but the camera.

It takes litteraly ages (7s more) to save photos. The interface is super laggy, I have to wait sensible seconds to go to settings or switch the camera mode. It is not as bad as it was before the reset, but it still unusable.

I have to mention that I have an sd card formatted as internal storage. However, since the problem persists, I formatted as portable and eventually I removed it completely. Despite this, the camera still does not work properly.

I tried to wipe the cache of the phone from the recovery. Nothing changed.
I also tried to run the phone in safe mode to see whether it was due to some application conflict. Problem still persists.


I am so frustrated, I really want my camera to work back again. I mean, I need it because I love taking picture with this phone ( I often go for photo shooting at night) and the htc camera application gives you a great Manual Mode which I cannot find in other 3d party applications.

Do you have any idea of what it might be?

Many thanks for having spent time reading this post.

I hope you can give some good feedback on this.

Cheers!
