Motorola Droid Camera Fix Release Confirmed Droid Autofocus Fix Pending, Assumed to Hit Next Month as an Over-the-Air Update

If you ve been experiencing autofocus issues with your Motorola Droid
the good news that Motorola have now confirmed that that they are to
offer an over-the-air update that will serve to fix the Droid s
autofocus issues which is expected to become available soon (various
reports hint at next month, but there s no official word from Motorola
at this juncture concerning the actual date of availability).
Motorola spokesperson Juli Burda told Phone Scoop (credited below) With
Droid, and with the rest of our growing portfolio of Android-based
devices, we will continue to evolve and improve the overall consumer
experience with periodic software updates. The feedback we've been
hearing on the Droid camera is one of those items that will be addressed
permanently with an upcoming OTA software update. The advanced
technology of the Droid means customers will only have to accept the
download to their phones for continued use and enjoyment of this feature
packed Android phone.
It was thought that the autofocus fix had already been releases and that
Droids have been updated without user knowledge via a somewhat sneaky
update but it now transpires that this is not the case. In fact it now
transpires that the autofocus issues are the result of a date related
bug which leads to periods where the autofocus works flawlessly, and
periods where it struggles to play ball (this cycle reportedly being
24.5 days in length). This being the case, you should find that your
Droid will not display autofocus issues now prior to the fix being made
available (if it is indeed released on 11 December).
