I got this off of Droid Forum - Covering all Verizon Droid Phones & the Motorola Droid
Explains the 11th push for the update maybe?
So glad I left BB. If this was a RIM issue we'd be waiting for months : )
Nope. Google?s Dan Morrill explained that the camera issues have been pinned down to a date-related bug:
There?s a rounding-error bug in the camera driver?s autofocus routine (which uses a timestamp) that causes autofocus to behave poorly on a 24.5-day cycle. That is, it?ll work for 24.5 days, then have poor performance for 24.5 days, then work again.
The 17th is the start of a new ?works correctly? cycle, so the devices will be fine for a while. A permanent fix is in the works.
