yup. it focus locks much, much faster.

previously i missed several shots where it focused 4-5 seconds after the subjects left the viewfinder thinking it took the shot! LOL.

Faster focus lock is an improvement and worth the cab. The title of the thread may be a tad overdone but I'm grateful for the generosity and community spirit. Thanked!

Mine only takes a count of not even "1-2" before the picture is taken.
Perhaps my phone came with the upgrade? (Version 6.28 build 1918.3024).

But of course, I bought this camera (oops, I mean phone) expressly because it didn't have a flash (snide comment here!)

Interesting that you indeed seem to have this version already on your device. That's the version I show after upgrading. I wonder when they started shipping that. Can anyone confirm the version before upgrading it that has the 4-5 second AF time?

My device has this version already as well, no upgrades have been done.

I hard reset today because of some issues (playing around too much) and the camera by default has this same version but it does take 4-5 seconds to AF and take the pic, so perhaps the version in the about screen does not get changed with this update. It clearly improves the AF/pic time as stated by many so I'm not sure why the version numbers are identical. Interesting.

Also noticed great improvements -- well worth the time to install. Thx.

AF seems quicker and app seems a little more responsive, thought that could always be mem load at the time. Won't have a good test until I am home and try to get a pic of the kids, then I'll know if there is any real improvement in AF. Typically objects not in motion AF in 1-2 anyway and only things moving cause a problem.
Thanks for the link.
