Camera stays black - possible to restart (via terminal)?
-
I am using Waydroid and Waydroid Freezr quite a lot. I just got aware that a hint on the Waydroid Freezr store page says:
"UT camera may not work when Waydroid is freezed".
I'll observe that on my device and come back then.
Maybe this is also a hint for others having this issue. -
@jojumaxx Not in my case, since I don't use Waydroid Freezer at all.

Hi
Before OTA-8 I had the same problem with a totally black screen, but now it doesn't happen anymore after I updated to OTA-8.
I'm on 20.04 Pixel 3A. -
Hmm
There was an update too to the camera app, version 4.0.7, this could be the solution to the black screen too
-
@Rondarius Alas, I have that version and it still crashes just as hard.

@Moem
I started the camera app on 3 of my 4 pixel 3a in the household and they all works. I thought that maybe my phone is working differently because I'm using the latest drivers. -

Would you be so kind to try taking a photo directly from Teleports and sending it? That seems to be one certain way to crash my camera app. It reliably crashes for me every day or two days. But never instantly after startup.
It seems that using the content hub in certain ways is the problem.

@Moem
I was able to take a picture through Teleports and send it to myself without the camera app crashes. -
@Moem
I have now sent six pictures to myself without any problems. -
@Rondarius Thank you for testing! I would like to do the same but my camera has crashed so I'll need 2 restarts.
