*UPDATE* *camera works now*
i decided to take the phone back to see if Sprint would swap it out...
-first, i unrooted..
-second, i tried to run the latest RUU (exe). that did not work, so i flashed the PJ75IMG.zip from HBOOT.
-before taking it in, i tested out the camera one last time, but it worked fine. no focus issues. went from macro for far to macro to far... tested it indoors and out doors, and in different lighting...
something in that RUU fixed it..
