Any prospects for bug fixes to latest push of Gingerbread to Droid 2?

Droid 2 Global, Gingerbread pushed last Friday night

Feel fortunate because most functions are working better than as reported on the Community pages.  Somewhat different look and feel as should be expected.  Without advance communication, though, or helpful hints, or other notifications, it is unfortunate users are left to their own to figure out what is going on and how to cope.

Here are a few problems I have seen and would appreciate any recommendations on fixes.

1. Stock music player - restore the album art.  It is embedded in the files, displays correctly in third party apps, but not in stock music player or downloadable (free) Google music.  Clearly a bug in the new version of the application.  Don't like all of the ads associated with the free third party players and not quite ready to buy one if the stock player is going to be fixed soon.

2. Battery life/display - battery seems to last shorter than before but  it was never great.  I use Advanced Task Killer, darken the display as a habit as soon as I don't need to see something on the screen, run JuiceDefender in background - all as recommended by Verizon in-store clerk when I first purchased the phone last Christmas.  Using Juice Plotter, I can see that it drops in a couple of hours largely attributable to display power consumption.  Keeping it dark and only using intermittently it can last for most of a work day.  Would like to have the settings>battery & data manager show remaining capacity again.

3. For first couple of days, some apps would disappear from their Home pages.  Re-added them a couple of times, tried different home pages, experienced same problem.  Did reboot, battery removal, etc.  Seems to be holding stable for now.

4. Would like to see a help widget or on phone app to help orient to Gingerbread UI features, techniques.  Maybe it is there but I can't find it.

5. Occasionally I lose the lighting behind the four permanent icons at the bottom of the phone (etched in glass), even when the phone display is on.  I don't recall this ever happening before.  Is there a setting that needs to tweaked or just a bug or an intentional feature?

6. I use the camera a lot since it is often with me and my DSLR isn't.  I miss the adjustable ISO on the stock camera app which marginally helps with the terrible graininess associated with the physical sensor built into the Droid 2 Global.  Hopefully future models will correct this shortcoming (hint to Motorola).

Thanks for listening.
