We were quite surprised to get a user report that our app was getting a force-close on startup in 2.3.3. After upgrading our Nexus One to 2.3.3 we can finally confirm that something incredibly odd and blatant has happened with the way the camera works.
Odd because there isn't a single change to the camera API listed in the 2.3.3 API differences report. Blatant because doing things like setting and then getting camera parameters will result in parameters being null even though they were just set. I've heard a lot of users reporting oddities in google goggles along with the stock camera app in 2.3.3. The majority are seeing a black screen instead of a live camera preview. We have been able to reproduce this behavior on our Nexus One. I filed bug 15112 <http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15112>but believe that I was far too narrow in scope as I first thought the behavior was limited to what was called in onPreviewFrame. The actual problem appears to be global in scope. We really need details on what has changed that is affecting the camera API in 2.3.3 so that we can work-around these changes with minimal market updates.
