I got a Droid on launch day & overall I'm REALLY happy with the phone. The main problem I have is trying to use several barcode scanning apps (including ShopSavvy). It takes like 15-20 "attempts" to capture the barcode, if it ever does. I hear/see the focus changing & it appears to have it correctly in-focus, then it goes blurry & fails. This repeats continuously on some barcodes. Others I've been able to scan still take 4-5 attempts with the camera focusing in & out trying to capture it.
Is this part of the "autofocus issue" that's going to be adressed in a patch, or do I need to get my phone replaced?
I've used the Hero and the Eris and the barcoding works great and gets it usually the first pass... except on "curved" labels. It's prob one of the bugs listed to get patched.
use the Barcode Scanner v3.01 by ZXing Team. never had a problem with it
