Motorola says update will fix Droid camera issues


Motorola today confirmed it will soon fix the problems with its Droid phone's camera by releasing an automatic over-the-air update to the handset. The Android handset's 5-megapixel camera has been said to have trouble focusing and producing red corners in images when photos are being taken. The intermittent problem has been blamed on an unusual timing bug where particular states of the clock create problems with the autofocusing system. Users can simply change the date on the phone to resolve the issue, although a permanent fix is apparently due soon.

Recently, leaked documents from Verizon also pointed to a software update that would resolve the Droid camera's focusing problems with an OTA update due for release on December 11th. While Motorola itself hasn't named a date for its update, it's likely to be available on December 11th. [via PhoneScoop]
