      Hi Everyone,
      I'm new here. Thanks for making Linux possible on my phone.
      I have a Fairphone 4 and am running Ubuntu Touch 20.04 (OTA-7).
      The Camera was working fine, but then a 2 days ago, I started getting the error message "Capture failed: Restarting your device might fix the problem" when I made pictures. Video still works. Oddly, I can take pictures with Telegram, which seems to use the Camera App too. I tried rebooting several times to no avail. I also erased my config file and rebooted.
      Please help me squash this bug.
      Rob

        @Robipo I am having the same problem with my device. it happens when shifting from camera to video mode, it gives the same message and device's vibration gets affected. I did several reboot to my device to return both camera mode and vibration to normal.

        As I remember, I did not face camera issue when running OTA-6. After the update I faced this issue.

            @aimar Thanks for your reference, this issue should be solved with the new upcoming OS version 24.04.

              @Salah "should" as in, you hope it will be, or "should" as in, you have tested it on 24.04 and confirmed that it works?

                  @kristatos If that is the case, I am afraid they will be sorely disappointed...

                      @arubislander Let us be optimistic then and encourage who are putting their efforts and sweats to make this OS more and more functional my friend.

                      Thumbs Up....
