Revision history [back]

In the last few days I used camera a lot and sometimes the viewfinder became black. Already tried : killall jolla-camera systemctl-user restart booster-silica-qt5.service restart of lipstik.service

Nothing helps to restore camera to work again except reboot Anybody know which process we can restart to get camera back without reboot ? Thanks

P.S. Same question asked on TMO: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92987

I started to get black viewfinder on my jolla C...
I don't really know when it started, now I'm on snowboard vacation and when wanted to take some pictures, I noticed about black viewfinder on main camera. On front camera it sometimes work and sometimes also black.
I didn't install any new things, but I did 2 new things:
1. I changed battery, that work perfect.
2. I now in French alpes with with roaming from my Israeli sim card. The connection dropped many times 2-3-4G, sometimes lost connection and reconnect again. Sometimes I feel a hot spot around the camera lens.
That all..

Already tried:
1. killall -KILL mm-qcamera-daemon = not help
2. Reinstalling camera app = not help
3. Removing camera app + reboot + reinstalling camera app = not help
4. Disabling all patches = not help
5. Lipstick restart = not help
6. Reboot/shutdown - sometimes it started to work, but after some minutes I get the black viewfinder again. Today even reboot/shutdown get the same result from the beginning (black viewfinder) = not help
7. Tried to play with dconf commands related to jolla-camera, but didn't find something that I can change for fixing this problem.
8. CSD tools camera tests - sometimes pass for both cameras, sometimes only for front camera..

Any other ideas for fix ?
Thanks.
