Ok, say I go into Camera. Take a few pics. Then I close it and want to go into sms. When I tap my sms client, it opens the camera. Open the app drawer, tap my sms client. Opens the camera. It does this for quite a few apps. The only way I have found to get it out of this hold is to reboot the sob. At first it was just happening with sms and mail, but now it's all over the place.
Anyone else seeing this?

Never had that happen, maybe it's time to perform a hard reset.
 
yeah, sounds like the SMS app called the camera app for some reason, maybe to send an MMS. You never "exited" the SMS app; for example, you pressed HOME instead of BACK. So the state of the SMS app is still in the camera app.

Now if you go back to the SMS app, it puts you where you were, in the camera app. Pressing back a few times gets you out. Or you can manually kill the SMS app. The back button is the preferred way :)
