I am using e/os/ 3.3-a15 with a Fairphone 6 and the side switch is set to enable / disable camera and mic.
The feature works perfectly well, if an app wants to use any of them a modal will appear asking to unblock those components.
The issue I encounter several times a day is that sometimes on the launcher while not yet actively in any application I can see the notification “Camera & mic enabled”. The switch has not been touched and I have no idea what application managed to suddenly forced-enabled those components.
Is their anyway for me to know what happens and which application managed that while in the background ?
It is not only sonce couple days, that message comes since the switch exists. I guess there is some logic which checks in the background the position of the switch. Then the message appears, the same as if you would have switched it…Not really a bug but also not neatly implemented…
But I get the message as if the switch was in the opposite state.
The switch is currently in “disabled mode“ but the notification and the state is suddenly in the “enabled mode“. The goal of the switch is to block any app from accessing those components but something seems to workaround the limitation (I can confirm that all app have access to the component).
Ohh, I see (sorry did not read your issue unti the end ). I have so far used it to put it into flight mode. Since 3.4 and the addition of Moments, I switched to that option and it never has worked wrongly. But I also usually have it in the top position.
Oh I don’t think the issue is with the Switch itself.
I’m afraid that the issue is with the feature that keeps the mic and camera disabled until an app request them and then ask if I want to unblock it.
Something seems to unblock in the background, which I don’t like.
