Camera refuses to take picture on 10 III (focus hangs)

weird as it may sound, this IS the same bug. its caused by the camera refusing to focus.
here is my almost-workaround:

1. use advanced-camera
2. select ‘manual focus’
3. modify advanced-camera to only focus if you long-press

4. when you open the camera, you can immediately snap a pic with default focus
5. point the camera at something the same distance away but NOT MOVING. long-press for focus, wait for green circle, then move the camera back to the moving target and snap away.
6. put the phone back in your pocket with the screen still on, so you can take more photos without having to refocus
7. buy a new phone with android and have a working fricken camera, because jolla’s approach to having a working camera is “our amazing community” will “develop a solution” (i am about 70% joking, but i am actually fairly annoyed at how bad the camera still is, two releases in)

Thanks for raising this @TMavica, and also for confirming that it’s the same bug below as suggested by @nephros.

To encourage all the discussion of this bug to happen in the same place I’m closing the topic here, but if anyone objects, please send me a direct message and I can open it again.
