Update: the problem of updating Android was solved by switching from a desktop to a laptop.
Same OS (Ubuntu 16.04), same USB cable. The only diff is the kernel version, 4.15 vs 4.4, and a slightly newer h/w.
Funny, isn't it?

@schouk I don't use anbox. Hopefully someone with more experience will reply. But for now, based on my search, can you run anbox-tool disable
then try the camera and anbox-tool status
, and then re-enable it?
Could there be a dependence on the Android firmware? I have the latest of their 5.1.1, because once I tried the last of the 6.?? and it took longer to boot. What's yours?
@schouk In my experience it freezes the 1st time after a reboot, then works fine. No change with OTA-10.
Could the behaviour be different with Android firmware? I have the latest of their 5.1.1s. What's yours?
@kugiigi The on-screen keyboard is just as big as before the update. But IMO it can be shortened to show more screen area, especially may be useful in terminal. (my gsettings fix for the position is a separate item)
I installed the update, and now on-screen keyboard seems larger, for example covering the bottom controls in terminal, covering parts of the password screen. Would it be a good idea to reinstall the apps?
EDIT: I found a workaround:
gsettings set com.canonical.keyboard.maliit disable-height false
Still, the keyboard height seems too large for Nexus 5's screen.

This better be fixed asap, because it may be applicable to MS skype for business (dozens of millions of corporate users) and who knows what other systems.
[...] it is not customary to use language like '[t]his better be fixed asap', unless you are willing to put in the work yourself. And sorry, lack of skills is no excuse in this instance.
I though that the purpose of this open source project was to expand horizons, offer a viable alternative and attract people. However, your attitude doesn't seem in sync with those.
All I wanted is to try to contribute by sharing my observations to raise awareness of a potential bug. Do you at least have enough skills to find out if the issue is known?
@Lakotaubp Sorry I didn't get your point. My Skype calls are to fixed and mobile phone numbers, and they work fine in any desktop system that I've been using in the past ~10 years. It's about UT phone app that is not accepting calls from Skype.
@Lakotaubp As official as it gets on Ubuntu desktop (https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main). Please read my posts, I'm talking about incoming cellphone calls from Skype desktop to UT.

which should be renamed to "Beware: No incoming calls from Skype". Known issue?
Oh hell! I've just found out that the incoming calls fail from Skype!
This better be fixed asap, because it may be applicable to MS skype for business (dozens of millions of corporate users) and who knows what other systems.
Until fixed, I regretfully will have to go back to the Monster on this phone, I can't afford "sorry I missed your call because I prefer Linux".
