Confirmed cases are documented from direct observation. Pattern-documented cases have third-party evidence of the vulnerability class — specific culprit apps not yet named. Inference is flagged. Speculation is not listed.
CAT S61 / FLIR Lepton thermal Confirmed
Bullitt Group · Android 9 · Snapdragon 630 · Building inspection, electrical fault-finding, search and rescue
Panasonic Toughpad FZ-A / FZ-N / FZ-T Pattern documented
Utilities, emergency services, government · Android 6–9
Panasonic's own support documentation confirms the Toughpad API Service — proprietary button-handler SDK used by field apps — stops functioning when apps targeting API level 26 or later are installed on the device. The API level mismatch is documented; the apps triggering it in deployment are not individually named.
Blackview BV4900s / BV5900 Pattern documented
Field operations, security, rugged outdoor · Android 10–11 · MediaTek chipset
Discussed in Microsoft's Intune community: devices working flawlessly for 18+ months lost camera functionality after software interactions involving enterprise management tooling. Root cause traced to the non-standard MediaTek camera driver (com.mediatek.camera) not being handled correctly by third-party software. The same class of driver conflict that affects thermal and depth-sensor HALs on other rugged devices.
MUNBYN Rugged Tablet Pattern documented
Retail POS, inventory management, logistics · Android
Documented in the Flutter framework issue tracker: opening the camera via a third-party camera library, then closing it, leaves the device's built-in barcode scanner unresponsive. Requires full app restart to restore. Exact mechanism as the CAT S61 — camera-accessing code conflicts with a proprietary scanner HAL the app did not know existed.
