camera-app goes black, won’t work until the phone is rebooted

[Olivier Tilloy]

The following scenario has happened to me a few times since I use the BQ aquaris e4.5 as my main phone:

 - opened the camera app, took a few pictures, viewed them in the photoroll, shared one via telegram (as a result the camera app goes into the background)
 - carried out other unrelated tasks (web browsing, …)
 - focused back the camera app, swiped to the right to close the photoroll
 - got a completely black screen and (IIRC) a deactivated shutter button

I was on the go when that happened, so no way to debug the issue, and as I really wanted to use the camera, what I did is I rebooted the phone. This "fixed" the issue.

Unfortunately whenever I have tried to reproduce the issue, I have not managed to do so. It seems to happen randomly.

Note that when that happens, closing all open applications and then launching the camera-app again didn’t result in an improvement.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This problem just happened to me after updating to
rc-proposed 129 on krillinn

And still happens on my wifes krillin with OTA6

What logs should i attach ?

Haven’t seen this issue in a long time, I wonder if it’s somehow been fixed?

Closing tentatively :) Reopen if needed
