I can relate to all of these troubles! VZ solution after they're sorry about my problem is to send me a refurbished droid x, someone else's problems! Ill let you know how that works out for me! I'll be the one writing in all caps and bold letters!

I left one out, so once again, what GB has done to my phone:
Display: Sometimes does not time out. Stays on until I shut it off. Not often. About three times a week. Not a good thing for obvious battery concerns.
Display: After being off for at least 30 minutes, when I press the Power button and turn the display on, the Homescreen appears, by-passing the slide-lock and PIN number lock, i.e., the phone didn't lock. I keep it on a two minute lockout. This happens, also intermittently.
Browser: Crashes. Has to be restarted.
Camera: 9 times out of 10, pressing the Camera icon does nothing. I have to reboot the phone, then the Camera will work.
Video recorded with Camcorder: About 1 out of 5 videos, when I try to open them, say "Corrupted File" and they won't open. These files also sometimes lock up the Gallery until they are deleted.
Video recorded with Camcorder: Sometimes, after recording a video, I go to open the file and there is not a file there. Gone. Missing.
Homescreen transitions: Are very choppy now, weren't before GB, but I do use a live wallpaper. Blame it on the wallpaper? No, I blame it on GB and I'm keeping the bleeping live wallpaper.
Homescreen transitions: I keep the center of my Homescreens free of icons and use that area to swipe the screens left or right with my finger. So, how can that make the Voice Command, Voice Mail, even Text Messaging apps open when I am switching left or right between Homescreens?
Keyboard/Swype: Totally and completely erratic after the update. Cursor has a mind of it's own.
Battery: Before GB, I rarely ever charged my phone during the day. Now, I am often at 60%, or less, by 11A.M. and into the 40's by 1 P.M. if I don't charge it. Nothing changed, only GB.
Astro File Manager: Yes, this is an app, but it never did this before GB. It takes Astro 15-20 seconds to open now and when opening folders, another 15-20 seconds.
Folder Organizer: Another app. Sometimes takes three or four presses to open folders. Again, never an issue before GB.
Reboots: A few after the update. Before that, not one after replacing my router in Dec.
Lock-ups: At least a dozen the past month. Battery pull required.
3G: Loses 3G and phone calling capabilities. I have to reboot the phone. Can't even try *228 until I reboot. Also, only about twice a week.
Difficult to go into a Verizon Store and demonstrate "intermittant" issues.
I've done a reset, without restore, formatted my SD card and installed fresh apps after GB. Did NOT, have NOT tried the Safe Mode method because a lot of these are nuisance issues and intermittent.
Have not tried the reset without installing ANY apps.
These are just nuisance issues that make me an unpleasant Community Member, but I was never the life of the party before. As I've written before, I'm tired of troubleshooting. Seriously.
If anyone has any ideas, I will read them, might not act on them. Not really looking for suggestions, anymore. Just wanted to list my issues caused by GB
