If you look at your data detail on your My Verizon account, you will see one or more multi-megabyte downloads ~ 3:00 am in the past few days. We are defenitly getting OTA fixes, and camera autofocus was clearly one. I clean my lens every day, and today is the first day I can successfully focus, within a second, first time every time,. under all lighting conditions.

They can't have. Let me explain; I'm in Canada right now on business, and I have data roaming turned off, and there is no WiFi at the hotel I'm staying at. Which means there is no way for my phone to get an update. (I've up here since Saturday.)

Yet this fix actually worked!! I'm absolutely.. Flabbergasted.
They will still have to 'fix it', because if the auto-focus is fooled by just a little 'oily film' on the lens it's not good enough, but be that as it may; It's working for now! WOOHOO!

EDIT: I'm probably wrong, after all. I did go to the lobby yesterday and used the wifi there, and I got the infamous 'Loading data' icon everyone is talking about, that doesn't go away even after a reboot. I thought it was in connection with another program, but the picture is clearing now. (Pun intended.) I still have the icon, because I left the lobby before it had finished.
So yeah, silent update indeed.

Waiting on my verizon insider to confirm this, but there's just too much information out there to even call this silent patch speculation. I mean seriously, 1,000 people with serious problems as of yesterday magically have everything solved?

Sounds like a silent patch to me, but hey, maybe I'm wrong.

I am voting for the "Silent" Update, I never got green shots and now every one is green....

I am on the conspiracy. The other droid in my office we are using for testing apps was not cleaned off and is not spot on with pics. Barcodes, text, ocr is all perfect.

I know this fix happened late at night because I was at dinner last night giving someone a review of the phone. I showed them several pics that were fuzzy and out of focus. This was at about 9pm eastern.

In the end..I dont care what did it. I am stoked this fixes one of the major issues with the phone as far as reviews and the "general public" were concerned.

Just skimmed the thread so far, but I took an indoor shot this morning @ 5 am and red corners. Pic was ok, not great (stationary object not a person). Cleaned the lens just now and first try the corners were green. I've seen them maybe 2-3 times since 11/6 when I got mine.

Sweetness.

I just checked online and I have a download of 799.63kb @ 7:07pm on Mon. 11/16 that I have no idea what it is....since all my apps have been stuck in 'downloading' since Saturday.

i've tried the lens cleaning previously with limited results. i will say that having a clean lens is important for the best quality shots possible.

the silent patching idea sounds possible though. i've noticed a difference, with autofocus being consistent the majority of the time now. would definitely like to get as much info on this as possible. if silent patching is being done will it affect future os updates or only 'minor' patches like a camera issue?
