Incredible- Camera Lag (and lag in general)

hi there... i just got a "refurbished" incredible in replacement of my older one (speaker blew for the 3rd time)... anyway, in the transition, i lost 30 pictures....

BUT... the camera on this phone is taking over 30 seconds to even start after i push the camera option.... once it's on and we press the button to TAKE the actual photo- it takes about 30 seconds to shoot the picture. it's way too long... i don't know **bleep** to do to fix it.. make it faster.. i've messed with all the options, nothing makes the actual picture taking process quicker. it's awful.

also- the phone itself seems to be lagging in general with almost every operation.. ideas? anyone else having these sorts of issues?!

thanks! jennster

it seems to be working better now.... after i turned it off and then back on.

not sure why- but currently there is no lag... camera is super fast (back to normal)...

will see if it eventually starts to lag again as time passes?

Is the self timer set?? If not, you may want to try booting up in safe mode and see if there is still a delay. If so, you then may have to do a master reset.

How long had it been since you shut off the device???? I power cycle mine once a day, just to keep the 0's and 1's in their correct order.
