Droid Bionic not so bionic

[peche2000]

My screen keeps shutting off after only a few seconds. It's set to turn off after 1 minute, but now shuts off if idle for a few seconds. There's plenty of battery life. Anyone else having this issue. Also, when I try to upload my picture to my computer, it says their corrupted. The phone is less than 2 months old, and I'm highly underwhelmed...

Have you tried a reboot?

Do you have a screen protector on the phone? Some screen protectors can fool the proximity sensor and cause the screen to turn off. This will be worse if you have pocket detection turned on.

And just how does the pocket detection work? Does it see lint?

Thanks to all that replied... I have actually rebooted my phone a couple of times for various problems that come and go with this phone since I've had it. Today no problem with the screen time out, but randomly the bluetooth kept disconnecting on it's own...until hours later where it wasn't a problem anymore. No screen protector btw. The phone is very temperamental. Sorely disappointed in this phone. Better luck next time.

As far as the pictures being corrupted, do you have data Encryption turned on your phone? If so then that is the reason. Unlock your phone, connect it to the USB and try mounting your phone as Windows Media Sync in the USB connection. Then go into My Computer (or Computer on Windows 7) and open the pics. The phone will only decrypt the files for you this way.
