Attachment: first logcat

Video of the first logcat is coming up.

(fwiw, at the end of the experiment, there is still at least 1GB of space available, so running out of space is unlikely to be the issue)

There will then be a notification that "Camera & Mic are ON" which only goes away when I close the Camera app.

I think Wilson is likely to know more about what's going on here than djf. I'll take a look as well.

This does happen on v2.2:

The error is reported in the log on lines 12366..12377:

Unfortunately this is NS_ERROR_FAILURE, the most generic case.

Filtered version of attachment 8559342 [details].

It looks like the Camera app is calling StartRecording() three times in a row; the second and third calls are failing, and triggering the error message.

I don't have time this week to look into this I'm afraid. Flagging dmarcos and justindarc to see if they have free cycles.

Mike's analysis indicates this would be fixed by the patches in bug 1152500.
