I got my droid2 as a replacement for my droid from verizon after the droid crapped out with 2.2...

Now, when I turn on the flash, it's yellow instead of white.. wtf?

Also, when I go into contacts and click on someone, most of the time the number doesn't show. Also sometimes when press the call button next to someones name in the phonebook, it will call someone else. Ex: tried to call my friend Dave and it called Scott.. Not even close to each other in the list...

The camera only works half of the time. When I try open up camera by either pressing the app icon or the hard button, it wont open.

There are also times that when I open an app, another app will open. Like I tried to open maps and Dominoes game opens.. wtf?

Other times I tried to answer a call and I try to swipe over and it doesnt slide.

There have been a few other problems but these are the biggest problems..

anyone else having these problems.

I would call Verizon and have them send you out another D2. I had a problem with my first D2 refurb and they just sent out another one. Definitely sounds defective.

It all yellow. Just my assumption, but the white LED is was so bright it would wash out pale skinned people. It make pictures come out like the old days when they had flash bulbs and powder. The yellow, being less blinding and probably lessen that effect. The camera uses auto white balance so being yellow wouldn't matter, the software automatically corrects the color temperature from the yellow flash.

I know the #s not showing up is a bug in the app, which is fixed on the release for the R2D2, so that should be fixed whenever we get an OTA update. Yeah Ive had that happen with the calling someone else too. Probably the buggy blur contacts. I use DialerOne.

The rest I don't know about.

I would also go into setting>applications>double tap home launch
and change it from Voice Command to something else.
That voice command would freeze up my phone and give me problems. I would double tap home acciedently or something pretty often actually so that would just freeze up my phone from 15-45secs, sometimes Id have to battery pull. I changed it to open music.
