On Droid number 2 already...soon to be 3

[berry_buster]

Well I am on Droid number 2 already. Got Droid 1 on release day and Droid 2 the next day as an exchange. My camera was whacked out. I thought it was normal and just really sucky till I played with my wife's camera and hers was fine! Mine left a rainbow effect on everything, even before taking the picture, it was useless. Anyway I have Droid number 2 and I am already unhappy with it. Droid 1 was very solid, but Droid 2 when I hit the bottom left corner of the screen, or the back button, the screen wobbles and taps into the keyboard part of the device. It is very annoying, especially while using the portrait soft keyboard. Once again, my wife's does not do this, it is solid. Anyone else having the wobble issue? I remember one of the reviewers said theirs was wobbly. Also Droid 2 seems to exhibit the talked about lag, where Droid 1 was nothing but smooth in all the transitions and sms popups etc. Man I wish Droid 1 didn't have a faulty camera. Also can anyone recommend a way to backup the whole phone, apps and all. When I took Droid 1 back I had to re download all my apps and it took forever, it would be nice to not have to do that when I go for Droid 3.

Thanks everyone

try Astro File Manager, it will let you back up your apps to the SD card

Boy Genius made reference to a cam issue rite before the phone came out and I believe he said something about a fix for it. I would suggest checking his site (Boy Genius Report) or email him. Im sorry you got 2 bad ones. Hope you get it worked out

Sorry to hear about your luck. Another option is a pay route called My Backup Pro. Never used it so I am not sure how it goes.

RerWare MyBackup Pro: The #1 Backup Utility for Android&#8482 Phones (backup Android&#8482,backup G1,backup Hero,backup MyTouch)

MyBackup Pro Android application backs up your data onto your SD card or securely online.
The data can then be restored at anytime on your phone.
Data that is backed up includes: Contacts, Bookmarks,
SMS, MMS(attachments), AK Notepad, Settings, Shortcuts and applications. Other features include being able to
preview the backup data prior to restoring to see what will be restored. Scheduling of backups is another feature
that comes in handy so that the user can schedule his backups periodically and not have to worry about the hassle
of performing backups manually.

I too worry about the slider becoming loose. Right now its tighter than a nuns nasty. Lets hope it stays that way.
