Droid camera fix - what we know now

Interesting.... I found the cleaning the lens thread very funny.... lol

 

I have to admit I did laugh out loud when I read that cleaning thread. Odd bug to have.

 

What about the way too long reload time after taking a picture will that be fkxed ota?!

 

Great.. The Droid has periods like my girlfriend.. . .

phone technology has finally reached puberty.

go droid!

 

well all I can say is hopefully it will be in the dec. 11th update cause dec 11th is 24 days from the 17th.. lol.. and hopefully the OTA update doesn't get delayed.. with my luck it will probably be delayed till the 18th or something giving me a week of hell just like a girlfriend.. lol.. ahh ****, I just realized it would be on the same week... damn.. Its alright though, Im pretty sure we will have root by then and can fix it ourselves.. I know on my G1 my roms usually already a better rom then what was being pushed out.. So as long as some genius finds root and I'm sure it will be fixed in less time then it will takes go get OTA updates..

 

Wow, just read this. Decided to pick up my phone and what do you know? It workd perfectly, flawlessly, auto focusing everytime... Wow!!! Keep in mind before today I was never able to get the good green corners on mine....

 

Others have mentioned it is the time it takes to write the file to the card that causes the delay. Changing the default from 5 MP down to 3 MP reduces the time needed between pictures. Someone even mentioned putting in a faster card heled as well.

 

For me, the autofocus locks in now. But it still isn't as in focus as it could be.

At least it takes a picture now, just not a very good one. I'm sure the OTA patch will address it.

 

I knew there was no way that cleaning the lense was what fixed the problem. I had cleaned mine many times before yesterday and still got red bars 90% of the time. I was convinced that an update had been pushed out that just did away with the red bars and made green bars come up every time without actually addressing the focusing issue. Either way, I'm happy that this should last us until a real update comes out.
