I am curious which package fixed it. Or which hybris patch.

Changes in droidmedia and droid-system-s19mps packages.

Great to see the surprise update and even greater that the video recording now works!

P.S. For the next-gen Jolla phone, please make sure this sort of functionality works out of the gate :pray:

Greetings to everyone. After updating version, my camera doesn’t work as expected. Well it’s rolling when taping on the red button but no video has been recorded on my C2. I couldn’t find any evidence of it in any folder. Please could you tell me what I should do? Or did I do something wrong? Thx.

Sometimes the Tracker3-Media-Indexer takes some time to retrigger, so your Video or Image is there but you can’t see it in the Gallery or just a grey placeholder unless Tracker3 had created the Preview-Icon.

As you suugest I used Sailfish Utilities to restat database; I also have some audios missing. Then I run command tracker3 reset -s. But that did nothing different. As you said again, then I will wait for next triggering (maybe in version 5.1?).

Tracker3 is triggered by event handling, such as creating new file(s) inside a tracked directory. This could include audio, video, or document files. I’m not sure if there is a timer-based triggering at set intervals. There could be many reasons why you don’t see files in the Gallery or File Manager. Some possible issues include incompatible file formats, problems with file permissions, or a poorly configured Tracker3 setup. Normally, you shouldn’t need to touch or alter the configuration.

A reboot may fix your problem if you haven’t already done so.

After resetting Tracker3 via the command line or rebooting, it takes some time until it is ready with the indexing, so patience is required.

Typically, you would use the Sailfish Utilities or the command line.

Camera app does not start anymore after the upgrade.

From my experience there is no optimization observable on that issue :frowning_face:

Do other apps start? Maybe try rebooting and see if the issue still remains.

In app settings, choosing option “save to SD Card” solve the issue. Now I’m relieved. Thank for your help.

Yes. And reboot did not help. Will have time next days for debugging.

Yeah. The mobile data bug for AAS is still there. I also have the problem after rebooting the decryption sometimes fails and is stuck in a cycle. I need to really shut the phone down and wait for some time before I reboot. Also touch is sometimes not working after reboot. Its super snnoying because I do not see a pattern and how to avoid it. Sometimes I need to reboot up to three or more times until the decryption actually work.
Camera video works fine now. Yey!

Update was smooth, except for the usual “minimal display brightness on boot into update” issue.

Video recording now works, but with some artefacts, according to my smoke test.
