“The Motorola Droid launched in late 2009 to much fanfare. The
Droid was running Android 2.0 and was the first Android device that
captured the attention of users, but all was not well at launch.
Many users reported their cameras just wouldn’t focus.“Users across the internet dreamed up all sorts of fixes. Some
claimed that there was a plastic film that needed to be peeled off
the lens. Other were convinced that a good solid cleaning of the
glass with a lint-free cloth was the ticket. Still others said it
was a hardware flaw. It turns out none of them were right, but it
does illustrate the effect of confirmation bias for those
obsessively cleaning the lens.”
