I have an issue where the Camera app just won't open XA2. It does start, shows a black screen and then goes to the background. I've had this issue since 3.0.3.9 and its still present in 3.0.3.10.

Had anyone else come across this bug?

Did you happen to update your vendor binary from v16 to v17b?

Happened to me yesterday as well (XA2+, 3.0.3.10) when I tried to take a picture from WhatsApp. Same effect with native app. Reboot helped.

@teemu, no I have not changed the vendor binaries on the phone. I'm pretty sure I am on the v16

Sounds like it could be the same as this bug: https://together.jolla.com/question/205405/bug-segmentation-fault-in-the-camera-app/

Something is blocking the access to the camera device.

Usually, closing Android Apps (or even completely shutting down aliendalvik - and of course restarting it if the app you want to take a picture with is an Android one, not the native Camera) usually helps.

In my case very often, just closing WhatsApp is enough.

Any update on this?

On my XA2 this issue drives me crazy. Any other simpler W/A? Only Android Support restart helps, but sometimes it is not an option (and annoying).
