Hacked?

Hi, something strange happened to me. I updated my phone and put in my pocket. When I took it up a few hours later it had restarted again.. Later that day I checked the battery usage and it showed that the camera had been used less than 1 minute on screen and 3 minutes in the background. My phone has the camera disabled and I do not use it. I have the latest update installed on my p10p.

Could I have been hacked?

most likely no

under battery usage it lists the app,
under privacy dashboard it lists if something like camera / microphone was really used. check that one to see if it really was used (resets if restarted tho)

just from a logical standpoint it is rather unlikely that someone infected you with some very advanced exploit, that for some reason tho needs to use your camera app. that does not really make sense

If you dont have some actual reason to think someone hacked you (downloaded apk, downloaded anything sus, got a weird message, have target on your back),

then it does sound more like you just did this yourself by accident somehow

(you can check the boot hash https://grapheneos.org/install/cli#verifying-installation )

Double press power enable the camera, so maybe, in you pocket .. Who knows

I use appmanager a open source app (fdroid) that as i understand intercept if something is opening your cam and don't let it open the cam until you click. As well as a lot of many interesting features.

However, disclaimer, I am not an expert so I don't know if intercept all or there are ways of use the camera without you noticing.

This sounds like false security. Don't give any apps accessibility access or device admin permission, and GrapheneOS already lets you block access to the camera from the lock screen unauthenticated, requiring you to authenticate and unlock in order to open the camera. Regarding apps' use of the camera, there's two things: the Camera permission, and OS updates. Allow the Camera permission to only the apps you trust, and keep up-to-date with GrapheneOS updates to patch vulnerabilities that might allow apps to bypass the permission.
