Added needs info label, not because of information in the ticket but because without a device with this hardware feature it'll be tricky for us debug and fix

We may be able to create some test builds if users with the similar devices are happy to help test

I think the problem is that element requires the front camera (or a sensor that controls phone brightness) to be visible. At least for me, when i cover my sensor that auto adjusts brightness on my phone during a call (with a finger for example), the whole screen goes black, and nothing works, even if i press the power button. But if i let go of the finger, making the sensor see light (or whatever), the screen turns on again. Any help would be well apreaciated!

Couldn't reproduce on Xioami device with the motorized front camera. @CodeCubeNeo could you confirm if this is fixed?

I was writing this in relation to this issue: https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/5431. I just thought that might have something to do with that.
