i did though, and pasted a link to it Camera refuses to take picture on 10 III (focus hangs)
saying you likely have a firmware bug on hardware+firmware that we both share isn’t telepathy, especially when you said you mostly use the camera2 api, and triggering this bug while testing the camera app can be difficult.
now…as for android13 fixing this firmware bug, its possible that upgrading to a particular version of android will fix this issue, but upgrading to android 13 did not fix it for me. it also didn’t seem to improve my low-brightness screen color though, so who knows.
