Had to replace my Droid twice within 14 weeks

[mkalka]

I had my Droid for 3 months and then it wouldn't come out of the startup screens. Verizon had a replacement overnighted to me, but now my replacement went crazy and applications started opening without my even touching the phone or would randomly switch between my 3 home screens and the applications bar. Anyone else experience this?

The one thing I did notice is the weather was extremely humid both times.

Hmm that is pretty odd. I recently used my Droid in extreme heat & humidity for the first time. I was video recording with my Droid in 95 degree heat for 8 minutes straight. After I was done recording, my phone was VERY hot! I just put it on my belt and let it cool off for a while. Never had problems.

Sorry to hear about your problems. I wonder if your replacement was a used phone? I thought replacement phones under insurance were NEW phones, not used or refurbs. Heck I can't imagine there would be any used/refurbs in stock. Who would return the Droid?

Moisture (condensation -- not uncommon if you leave a cold place for a warm, humid area suddenly) will affect the screen.

For clarification, the phone was plugged in overnight and I had just taken it off the charger. Restarted the phone 6 times and pulled out the battery to no avail.

And yes, the replacement phone is a new one, not refurbished. You transfer your current battery and SD card to the new phone.
