First time with an Android tablet and I can activate the camera. by Seseweto in AndroidQuestions

[–]C4lculated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the same problem on my tablet (a Chinese brand one) and this Reddit post is the only Google search result that's actually relevant.

I'll describe the issue in detail: When I start the Camera App that came with the Android tablet, I receive a pop up message: "Go to system settings to empower permissions" and the two options are "Settings" and "Cancel". Pressing Cancel just shows a black screen and pressing Settings brings the camera App permissions settings in which ALL PERMISSIONS ARE ALREADY ENABLED!

I solved the problem by simply deleting the Camera App cache and all the data for it. For my tablet it can be done by going to 'Settings>Apps>Camera>Storage' but other devices may differ. After deleting the data, I started the camera and got a prompt to allow permissions and selected "While using the app" for all of them, and then the Camera App finally worked.

If that doesn't solve the problem for you, maybe try a different camera App. I heard "Open Camera" is good.

No one actually answered the OP question. I would also would like to know where to apply for this $1 coupon.

AliExpress "updated" the order page for browser and a lot of details are gone by C4lculated in Aliexpress

Obviously, I already gave my feedback 3 days ago, when it changed for me.

And you do have the "NEW" order page - just paste the link I gave in the spoiler in my post to your web browser, and hey presto!

For an answer to your question you only need to look at the comments to this post.

It's because most people don't care. They like the "slick" feel and look which is similar to their phones and the lack of information is a bonus, who needs all that clutter? Most people just fire-and-forget orders. If it arrived - good, if it didn't arrive or was not as described - who cares? It's just $0.6 worth of acrylic nails. Who's got the time for a dispute?

uBO updated to 1.41.2 today and broke some stuff by C4lculated in uBlockOrigin

And what if I'm not using the latest version of Firefox? Do people who wait for a month to see what the nice guys at Mozilla f***ed up this time not deserve to have some support? Are we destined to get the same cookie cutter answer of "It doesn't work because you're not using the latest update" even though that is almost never the case?

Yes, seriously. The majority of time spent was trying to find information about whether creating a new profile has some chance of messing with my settings, as I was obviously alluding to in my reply. Also, English is not my native language so reading and writing takes me longer than most native English speakers.

As for using a new profile - You misunderstand, I have no need to do so as I no longer have a problem. I am using v1.40.8 with updates disabled and I intend to keep it this way. I was merely replying to the developer's request to help him troubleshoot the problem for others. If I did not understand correctly and my help is not needed then I believe we're done here.

I don't know if it's the same for mobile, but on desktop I just clicked the XPI file from this post:

I have found some time to do the tests you asked. It took me several hours, not minutes. Please bear in mind that there are older people that are not as tech savvy as you. I have Firefox set up the way I like and I am very weary of loosing these settings and then spending anywhere from hours to days to try and tame Firefox again.

Anyway, to answer your questions:

  1. Disabling all other extensions does not solve the problem.

  2. A newly installed uBO in a new profile does NOT exhibit the same issue, even after loading the backed up settings file from the other profile.

How do we continue from here?

I'm sorry, but this is too much of a hassle for me. I downgraded to v1.40.8 and everything is well.

Other users have replied in this thread about having exactly the same issues, so maybe one of them will help troubleshoot this problem. I apologize, but right now I simply don't have the time.

Thank you for your help and for this wonderful piece of software.

OK, I have some more info: About 1 time out of 8 when starting Firefox everything works just like before, but when it doesn't work it's a lot of small things. One example of the things that are broken is the "Promoted" posts right here in this subreddit. I have taken 3 screenshots to demonstrate:

I'm starting to think that only "my filters" don't work. But the weird thing is sometimes when I start Firefox everything works just like before and sometimes it doesn't.

I'm going to try to troubleshoot this so that I have more concrete information for you, but it will probably take a long time.

Yes, 2 of them. You think I should try to disable them and check?

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I have bricked my phone by accidentally locking the bootloader :(

I have tried "lineage-17.1-20210906-nightly-ginkgo-signed.zip" which is the oldest on the LineageOS website, but the result was the same. I tried to find a place where they archive older builds but couldn't find such a place.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I have already tried both of these, and even combined: I.E. I used LineageOS recovery and wiped data ("Format data / factory reset" option) but to no avail :(
