Toilet won't flush

Our toilet will not flush all the way. We tried shortening and lengthening the chain and that did not help. It looks like the flapper is closing too soon. How can I fix this? or Do you think this is even the problem?

The flush cuts off too short. If we hold the handle down we can get it to flush all the way-- but I would prefer to just push it down and let go

Solids will be left behind if I do not hold the handle down long enough.

This is not a new toilet.

This is not a new toilet and it's not even flushing enough to get the waste out of the toilet.
