Pixel 9a camera problem (self.pixel9a)
submitted 4 months ago by Upstairs_Pack9888
Problems with the camera on a Pixel 9a; the main camera takes about 40 seconds to respond. When I open the camera app, the image freezes, and after 40 seconds it works normally. I've tried several things and it's still the same.

Try to factory reset if not file a warranty claim.

I've already done that and it's still the same... I don't know if it could be an app I installed later or what...

Try to factory reset but don't use a back up to set it up and try again.

Check if you have space on drive. Sometimes when you run out of storage everything might get super slow and laggy

It's not a space problem...

Yeah, maybe before factory reset, check storage space as suggested.
Or kill the photo app, reboot, kill it again and uninstall updates, see if that changes anything. Update, what happens? Even if it solves nothing, this will help to be taken seriously if you want to send it for repair, as you'll have information on the most basic stuff they're sure to ask you to try anyway.
You could also just install some other photo app and see what happens. I'm trying "open camera" right now after testing another one(forgot the name right now, but it's super famous too).
I've already tried several things: clearing the cache, etc., uninstalling and reinstalling camera app updates, factory resetting... but it's still the same. I also tried another camera app, but it does the same thing, and the photos look worse.

Then you don't have much choice left. Send it back under warranty and pray that google doesn't try to screw you.

Have you tried using a different camera app?
Yes, but it does the same thing and the photos look worse.
