Camera provides not existing lense and freezes if selecting it

  • /e/OS version: e-3.1.1-a15-20250829521751-community-bangkk
  • Device model(s): Motorola moto g84 5G (bangkk)
  • Impacted Application: /e/OS Camera

The problem

The moto g84 has got 3 cameras: 2 rear and 1 front

But the Camera App provides 4:

  • [0] Main camera
  • [1] Front camera
  • [2] Main camera, ultra wide
  • [3] Main camera !!!Not existing!!!

When choosing the not existing camera [3] the camera preview freezes with the error message "Error on starting camera preview". Then it is not more possible to get the Camera App back working by switching to any existing lense: The error message always appears and the preview image keeps freezing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start the Camera App
  2. Either long-press on the "lenses" button and select the not existing lense [3] or step through the lenses by short-pressing the "lenses" button until the not existing lense [3] is selected
  3. Now the camera preview freezes!
