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 (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.
I have no idea if this could be helpful or not, but the Google Pixel phones were having major issues with purple screens obstructing images due to poor connection speeds. It turned out that with geo tagging "On", the service issues caused the screen to turn purple. With geo tagging "Off", there was no issues with the photos.
