[Q] Weird Camera Problem? - Droid 2 General

I just bought a "seller refurbed" droid 2 off ebay. It was $35 so I said what the heck. When I got it, everything seemed fine.. except for the camera. When I take pictures, they come out like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can assure there is no filter on. This was taken with what came with it, 2.3.3, the OTA update 2.3.4, and cyanogen mod 2.3.7. I've thought I could buy a replacement camera on ebay for like $10 (mostly all I could find) and replace it.
Also is anybody else's battery life like real bad just browsing web? On 3g 20 mins of browsing brings the battery down by like 20%.
Thanks.

Replacement Camera

I was at our local air show this weekend taking a video of an F-16 with my 8525 and about ten minutes later I noticed that my camera's sensor had been burned by the the intense light. Well after a couple of days of wallowing in my stupidity I decided that I would just replace the camera. Does any one know where I can find a camera to replace the one in my 8525?

Issue w/ MMS...help please.

Okay, I was having a problem where whenever I would send a picture via MMS out to my wife (we have matching phones, btw), it would give me and her this instead of the picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So...I searched around and found a thread where someone mentioned that HTC Audio Manager can sometimes interfere with the MMS program. So I uninstalled HTCAM from my phone (she didn't have it on hers), and tried again. Now, on my phone all looks kosher. The pic looks right and the objects are all where they should be. However when she recieves it on her end it still looks the same as the attached photo.
Any ideas, guys? This has been driving me a little crazy. Thanks in advance.

***Show the best part of your WP7 Home Screen***

Folks, For a change, lets have some fun.
I know we would luv our DVP's and our friends would envy it, if it was not for the Wifi and freeze issues.
So, for a moment lets presume that we do have a bug-free DVP. Now come show the best part of your home screen!!!
Here is mine ( a bit photoshopped for the luv). And this will be my profile pic for sometime.

If it makes you feel any better I was on the phone with dell customer support earlier today and according to the they are supposed to be releasing a new firmware update this week or next that should resolve the wifi issue and freezing. Take that with a grain of salt though as it seems dell has said this to customers before.

Vibrant Screen Replaced.

I went to T-Mobile today because I was eligible for an upgrade.
I hated all the phones that are out now. I didn't want the Galaxy S 4g.
I had a cracked Vibrant. (It works fine, the screen was just cracked.)
I had another Vibrant lying around that was hard bricked.
I was always too lazy to just replace it, I also didn't really know how to do it.
I didn't want to search around and what not.
But, today.. I wanted to keep my Vibrant so.. I think I did it. ;D

Advice on what's hogging my battery and zapping it at 50ish %

Hi. I'm on the B03 build of Oreo non rooted. Had to manually find the download as bought phone from Italy and imported to UK.
Really like Oreo but since getting it, my battery has been cutting out at around 50% sometimes lower. There is something in the battery life that is hogging it but it doesn't say what, just the android symbol at 86%.
Would a new battery fix this or is it time for a new phone? I've only had this 2 years and most phones I've got 4 years out of. Love the hardware but it's been a bugger for lack of support and no OTA updates.
