The camera and clock are malfunctioning

los-tioz

Hello.

I'm using the Sony Xperia X (F5121).
UT 24.04-1.3

I haven't been here in a while, and I notice the forum has changed a bit. I hope this is the right thread.
I'd like to report the following issues since installing OTA 24.04-1. (These issues are still present in the current version 24.04-1.3.)

Incorrect time zone when starting the device.
The time is displayed incorrectly after booting up, regardless of whether the “automatic” or “manual” setting is enabled.
It constantly displays UTC 0. However, my saved location is Berlin, which is UTC+1 and UTC+2 during daylight saving time.
All I have to do is open “System Settings” and click on “Time and Date.” The time then corrects itself automatically.
The camera app only works when I first launch it.
When I launch the camera, everything works correctly at first. If I close the app and try to use it a second time later in the day, the screen remains black on the main camera.
If I switch to the selfie camera, it works correctly. I can then switch back to the main camera, but the screen remains black. I have to restart the device for the main camera to work again.

Thank you very much and best regards.

@los-tioz

your first issue has been reported several times already. I don't know if it's fixed in unstable (it's device specific, I don't see it on my Fairphone 5).

I have not yet seen the second issue on this forum, but it's definitely not the case on my phone running the same version as your device.

@los-tioz cannot confirm the issues on my sony xperia, running 24.04-1.3.
Uodate channel is rc, maybe thats the dufference?
Camera and Timezone both working as expected.

@messayisto The update channel. I was using “stable,” but I switched to “release candidate.” At least that solved the time zone issue. Thank you.
However, the problem with the camera still persists.
I’ve been experimenting. If I only use the selfie camera, everything works fine. I can close the app and reopen it, and everything works. But if I take just a single photo with the main camera, the screen stays black after restarting the app. I can switch to the selfie camera, and it continues to work. But I can’t switch back to the main camera. Now the image from the selfie camera is still displayed, it’s just upside down.

@gpatel-fr Okay. Thank you.

are you sure about that ? this issue was reported by @djac and others for 24.04-1.2, so it's rather unlikely that it could be fixed for 24.04-1.3RC and reappear for 24-04-1.3 stable. It's more likely that it is a random problem that don't appear with every restart of the phone.

For the camera, i aldo note (but more rarely) au critical bug, that probably break my first camera : the focus stars to "vibrate" until i shut down the phone (shut the app isn't enough).
This bug doen't reproduce regularly... @los-tioz Did you meet this too ?

los-tioz

@gpatel-fr Yes, I'm absolutely certain. I was using version 24.04-1.3 (stable) and had exactly that problem every time I booted up.
This morning I switched to the rc channel, and the problem no longer occurs. I've shut down and restarted my phone five times. I'll keep an eye on it over the next few days, though.

@DJac No. My Focus hasn't vibrated yet.
I rarely use my camera
