This made me laugh, it still reboots and freezes like crazy. Thankfully not as bad as froyo did though.

Good to know.. i was just about to make a post about this too lol.. is this related to the GB update? I couldnt remember if my phone had done that or not before the update

I assume that it happened after because I have only recently been getting annoyed with it... could be that it was before the install but I would guess it is after. Ill start a thread over in the D2G section and we can see if we can get help. I dont know what there would be to help with. We are probably both stock and to change anything (fix) we would prob have to root to get control over the culprit.

EDIT: There exists a thread already http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-global/178802-keyboard-lights.html
