camera not working on sfos 4.3

[smatkovi]

i patched my mother's x compact and updated it to the newest version of sailfish os and now she says that the camera isn't working. i will look into it on Tuesday, but maybe someone has an idea or to warn you from upgrading. i will try the answer to the last issue regarding sfos 4.1

[henning-schild]

did it work before? I am on Verla (4.2) which was patched/flashed and did not go through any OTA yet. Now i am kind of shy to try that OTA ;).

[henning-schild]

Please drop logs and possible debug info here when you get access to the device. Not sure what would count, maybe lsmod, ls -al /dev and whatever the/a camera using app spits out on cmdline launch.

[smatkovi]

she was on 3.4 and yes it worked before

Do you have aliendalvik installed? And, if so, does the camera work there?

It looks like that droidmedia is not actually getting loaded... could you:

1) Run advanced camera (or jolla-camera as well) through strace and post the output there 3) Ensure that the repositories are pointing to the correct sailfish version:

ssu re 4.3.0.12
pkcon refresh

3) Post the output of ssu lr 4) Post the output of pkcon search name droid-system-f5121

[smatkovi]

lol in telegram x for android it really works

i wanted to patch sfos 4.2 but then i decided to install her open camera the android app and this is working

[g7]

You said it was on 3.4 before, did you upgrade to 4.3 (including the eventual stop releases) or did you patch a new image and then reflashed the devie?

Camera apps in aliendalvik work since they use the android camera hal directly rather than going through droidmedia

[smatkovi]

i upgraded through stop releases in settings

[g7]

Could you run

HYBRIS_TRACE=1 HYBRIS_TRACE_UNHOOKED=1 HYBRIS_TRACE_HOOKED=1 jolla-camera

and post the output here?

Damn, I think that Jolla-provided images do not have hybris tracing enabled :(

Anyways, I asked someone I know to check on their spare X Compact that got recently updated to 4.3 if the camera is working, will let you know...

According to the strace above libdroidmedia exists and gets loaded, it fails later when trying to load a symbol, perhaps there is either mismatch somewhere between the loader in the glibc side and what's it's actually in the android HAL parts. It's curious since this stuff is not touched at all by the compatibility layer

[smatkovi]

i was stupid, i tried downgrading with ssu. now the browser isn't working. but i should be able to remove it and install it again with zypper. it downloaded the "downgrade" but didn't install anything

[smatkovi]

okay it was just the network connection, not the browser

[henning-schild]

the way i read this seems to suggest that i should probably not yet update my device, because it is my daily driver and it seems likely i would break the native camera support as well. Is that assumption correct?

Ok, got a reply, stock jolla-camera works fine on their device so perhaps the upgrade went wrong somehow ?! Did you upgrade via UI or via zypper/version/sfos-upgrade?

[smatkovi]

oh good news then. if i remember correctly via ui

Same problem here. Camera worked fine with 2.x, 3.x, but with latest Suomenlinna it fails to start.

Not a "10 Compact"? If the "real" supported device is affected by that as well, upstream will be the right place to report the problem.

[henning-schild]

btw i never had that camera problem on the most recent version, but had to re-install at a point where i installed the latest android via sony emma

[henning-schild]

Now i am on a "10 II" ... size sucks, but performance and official support plus more recent android seem worth it

[smatkovi]

I've also got a 10 ii now. i Love the oled screen and Android support and An official port

[henning-schild]

Yes, but let us stick to the topic. The "X compact" was a great device and i am happy to hang around and pledge for it and this repo.

[smatkovi]

jolla admitted that it was a bug that the camera wasn't working and effected more devices upgrading to 4.x. there was a workaround from them reinstalling some programs. if i get the time i will post it here
