the battery jumping after a reboot is not a big deal, it jump up a bit but you will lose the difference after a while so it doesnt really effect battery life. it doesnt make your battery drain any faster. there are people working on a fix.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
You should try the #xoom channel on irc.freenode.net and if that doesn't work (ie nobody there will help you) then I recommend getting a big coke and carefully sifting through all the posts here. There are big warnings all over every one of these guides that says "proceed at your own risk".

Did you try to fastbook lock at the end of your procedures? You may very well need a factory mode cable.

thanks man .. it's solved ...it was silly really ,, the ROM file was corrupt !, so i downloaded it again ,, moved it to SD ,, flashed again, and it worked :)
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
I am seeing a lot of reviews on various blogs putting down the Pentile screen that the Droid 3 has. However I have also seen many comments stating that the claims of distortion and pixilation are over exaggerated and only visible under magnification.

Since I trust XDA more than some random blogs I would like to hear what owners are seeing with the screen. Is the screen good? Bad? Bad when put next to the current market but good for everyday use?

I am personally debating upgrading from the Droid 1 so I am curious as to how the two stack up next to each other.
[Motorola Droid 3] stkiswr:
I played w a friends D3 today. U should upgarde. U wont be disappointed in any way at all.
[Motorola Droid 3] chemical1der:
+1. i'm coming over from the DInc's Amoled screen and I am very happy with the D3's. it looks great.
[Motorola Droid 3] JKingDev:
It will be in Verizon stores and Bestbuy on thursday so you can see for yourself. One benefit you wont get to try is that it is outstanding in direct sunlight so you will have to take everyones word on that.

To those who have it, when you say it is great in direct sunlight, is that with the brightness all the way up or is it visible even at low brightness?
[Motorola Droid 3] straylight:
reviews.

I too am concerned about the droid 3s screen. From what Ive read the pentile screens here here and here, it has trouble aliasing text, certain pictures show off more of a grid-like pattern in the pentile and diagonal lines sometimes look "craggy". FYI I found the last link pretty illuminating regarding the limits of a pentile screen. There's also always wikipedia.

Whether or not these effects are as exaggerated as some people claim, I'm not sure. I'm eager to hold one of these in hands to judge for myself. Considering I use my droid to read a great deal, I'm most interested in the aliasing of text.

My assumption is that while some of these reports of effects have merit, they are extreme cases and not completely indicative of Pentiles performance the majority of the time.
[Motorola Droid 3] stkiswr:
Lol I'm not sure what other people are telling you but I am sure the screen is clearer than the Droid one. Lol don't be so picky. I understand u love your d1 but the D3 IS leaps and bounds better in every way. Its s shame no 4g and 512ram but very nice phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] DPilot:
I have the D3, and I upgraded from the D1.

I can say that under normal usage, the screen performs beautifully. I have mine set around 30% brightness (not automatic) and I can see pretty well in direct sunlight. Under some really bright sunlight, lighter colors do become a little more difficult to see.

I was skeptical of the pentile display originally as well, after seeing my girlfriend's AMOLED screen, but I am definitely happy about how it actually looks and performs.
[Motorola Droid 3] ocdtrekkie:
It might just be me, but I think the D3's screen looks better than the DX2's PenTile, which I didn't like when I saw it. Wondering if they might be slightly different models.

I upgraded from a Droid 1, very happy. NinjaBlur's also not bad, actually.
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
That is great info, thank you all :)

My other concerns are minor and mostly the usual crop of "Bootloader" and "No LTE". At this point I am fairly sure I can live without both.

The memory is not an issue to me as I can do a ton with the D1 and run into few issues. Give me double and I will be good for a few years to come.
[Motorola Droid 3] ocdtrekkie:
LTE kills your battery life though. Yeah, I want it, but 90% of the time I'm using my phone, I'm somewhere with Wi-Fi anyhow.
[Motorola Droid 3] straylight:
Are you saying you've handled the D3? Or have you done any research? Or are you simply stating that newer equals better?
[Motorola Droid 3] stkiswr:
Owned a heavily modded d1. Used a d3 today. It is a superior phone. I am not trying to sound arrogant. It just is. If u aren't concerned about 4g or unlocked bootloader then you may really like it. It was noce while I used it.
[Motorola Droid 3] RaptorMD:
I got my D3 last Friday, and the screen looks great to me. I have had the DInc, DX2, ThunderBolt and Droid Charge. I knew what a 4" pentile screen looked like before I got it since I checked out the Atrix.

Now sure if I take out my 10x magnifying lens you can see the pixels, but who the hell is reading the display with a 10x magnifying lens? A blogger looking for traffic.
[Motorola Droid 3] straylight:
Ha, honestly all I really wanted was some testimony from some people who've handled and or bought the D3. You guys have given me just that. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] J.Guido85:
I think the screen really nice. Better than the tbolt which I what I have until my d3 arrived. Take it from someone who works for vzw, its a very nice display.
[Motorola Droid 3] dancingcrab:
Had my D3 since yesterday (Monday) morning. IMO, quite honestly, the pentile screen is not a quality screen when it comes to visual fidelity. It is noticeably duller, and if you care about things such as pixelation, it may bug you. It does not bug me - as long as I hold it at 8" or beyond, it looks crisp to my eyes.

Basically, it still looks *good*, just not mind-blowingly amazing. For example, for straight up clean edges and colours, I would choose my wife's WVGA DInc2.

However, the pentile has some pretty profound positives. One is that it is far less battery intensive than other techs, which is a good thing when you consider the D3 has fairly meaty hardware. Another plus is the visibility - it has something close to a 175 degree viewing angle and seems to suck in sunlight instead of bouncing it back at you. That has got to be worth something.

My two pennies.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
Here's some side-by-side photos of my Droid 1 and Droid 3.

The screen is plenty fine.

(sorry for the poor pictures...they were snapped with an iPhone 3)
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
I owned a Droid X2 for a while and the PenTile screen was bad enough to notice regularly and be bothersome.

I now own the Droid 3 (pre-ordered 7/7 overnight and got it 7/8). The smaller screen makes the PenTile pixels much smaller than I'd hoped and it's barely noticeable. As picky as I am, I thought it still might bother me (but I just couldn't live without a keyboard) but it really doesn't at all. If I'm not looking for it, I forget it even has the PenTile screen.

[Motorola Droid 3] Xyzodiac:
My Droid X2 has a pentile screen, and i love it.
[Motorola Droid 3] strawbearlyjamm:
I have no qualms with the screen. I'm not necessarily the pickiest person, but I'm coming from a samoled and cannot really tell the difference.

I AM however thrilled with he fact that even on the dimmest setting the screen is still detectable in BRIGHT sunlight. I upped it to the brightest setting and could easily play a basic game (maybe not read small text) with sunglasses or without. Very happy with that. I had no trouble searching and downloading my campus bus app from the market, and navigating the app to find the route, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
The second picture that tcrews posted was very interesting to me. Both screens under similar light and the Droid 3 screen was much clearer overall.

I think I am going to take the plunge. The wife cleared me for the purchase so now I just have to talk myself into the cost ;).
[Motorola Droid 3] straylight:
Sonova....

Are they keys the same size as the Droid OG? I was under the assumption they would be bigger...
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
They're about the same size. They added a tab key (and others) that really screws with me because I'm so used to the OG Droid, but the actual size of them are the same.
[Motorola Droid 3] rushless:
I owned the D1 and disliked the KB due to stiff keys, no spacing, and no space above the top row. The D3 KB is much better. No comparison.

More room

No space wasted by worthless pad

Space on top row from bezel

Better key action-not stiff

Number row

Space between keys

To each their own, but the D1 kb is a lower league to the D3.

The D3 kb is a work of art in design.

BTW, I do not own one, but did test the heck out of it at a local VZW.

Might get one tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid 3] Eulises86:
The pentile screen is quite amazing. Super crisp and clear lettering.
[Motorola Droid 3] Immolate:
The Droid was my first Android phone, followed by the DX, Thunderbolt and now the D3. I received the D3 last Friday.

I've been looking at that pentile screen a lot over the past week. What I can tell you is that you can find the checkerboard if you look closely enough. Sometimes you see it under some circumstances when you aren't looking for it. It doesn't obscure anything, but it can sometimes be noticeable.

But what do you get in return for this minor visual oddity? First, you get a screen that is quite visible in outdoor light -- much more than other phones I've owned. That's a significant feature I think. I can remember multiple occasions trying to hold my DX and Tbolt every which way to try to see the screen at all in the bright Florida sun.

The second benefit is that pentile sips power where others gulp it. You screen power consumption percentage will generally be quite a bit lower than other components. On all of my other Android phones, screen was always #1. On days when it sits on my desk while I work and only handle a dozen or so texts, a few phone calls and a few emails, it comes out as low as 2% of power consumed. That's astounding.

I genuinely believe that, for some people, the properties of the screen will be a constant irritant. I also believe that those people will be in the minority. I suggest anyone who is concerned drop by Verizon or Best Buy and look at it themselves. Turn the screen up to its ideal brightness for your taste and take a look. I expect you'll know very quickly whether pentile is a problem for you.
[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
Coming from the samsung droid charge, I still think this screen is awesome
[Motorola Droid 3] qipengart:
This is a killer phone. It makes my Droid 2 a pretty piece of ****.
[Motorola Droid 3] J.Guido85:
I really think the pentile screen is unique and like others say, if you hold it from a good distance its really a great screen. I like it better than the tbolts screen. Plus the battery life is really good
[Motorola Droid 3] TheMuffStuff:
Coming from a Samoled, I think the pentile screen is definitely more crisp. Its brighter and more crisp, you def do notice the pentile-ness of it, mostly on status bar or bright colors, besides that it is fine and should not be a con.
[Motorola Droid 3] straylight:
The greens look a little washed out compared to my OG droid, but other than that I am quite happy with the droid 3. It also seems a bit large, but I think I just have to get used to that after having the OG for so long.

Also the amount of crapware is #$$^ing amazing, but Ill stop trying to hijack the thread. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] elcapitaine:
its noticeable if youre looking for it, for sure. but it isnt bad, and definitely not the doom and gloom that lots of blogs have made it out to be.

but thats only with very small text or stuff like the battery icon up top. other things, like photos for example, look beautiful
[Motorola Droid 3] xformulax:
personally i think the keys are quite a bit bigger.
[Motorola Droid 3] calash:
I got my D3 yesterday. I have to say I love the new keyboard. It makes my OG droid feel stiff and almost unusable.

The screen is much brighter than my OG Droid. The only distortion I saw was on a zoomed out web page, and that was only the images with text.

Wonderful phone!
[Motorola Droid 3] petard:
You guys all must have super weak eyes. All PenTile screens look like crap to me. I'd take an 800x480 RGB screen over a 960x540 PenTile screen any day. Unfortunately there are no alternatives to the D3 on Verizon, so the PenTile screen will have to do.

All I know is I won't be upgrading from my Desire Z to an AT&T compatible Milestone 3 because of that screen and locked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid 3] Immolate:
I agree that eyesight matters. I'm 48 and I've always been near-sighted. The pentile doesn't bother me at all. With the screen's power and visibility benefits, I consider it a big step up from a standard screen.
[Motorola Droid 3] bsweetness:
I have 20/15 vision, and the PenTile screen doesn't bother me at all when I'm using the phone at a normal distance.

It has nothing to do with weak eye sight. Even if you took two people with perfect vision, they'd have different experiences looking at the same things. The fact is that it's the sort of thing that everyone needs to go try out for themselves before they make a determination on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] darkmatter34:
I can see the pentile stuff, don't get me wrong. But it looks fine. At the end of the day, this is a phone. I'll take the greatly increased battery life and sunlight visibility...it works for a phone.

When I want to be concerned about a screen, I'll be looking at a tablet. (though I'm perfectly happy with my nook color so far)
[Motorola Droid 3] DJ_Evil:
I have been checking out some reviews on the droid 3, can anyone comment on if the screen has a blue tint and also if the camera has a blue tint in photos/video?

Thanks! :)
[Motorola Droid 3] darkmatter34:
The colors are many times more accurate than samsungs grossly oversaturated screens.

I haven't really noticed a blue tint. I have noticed that the white seems whiter when compared to my nook color. But then that could be some blue talking. When you want something to look really white, you add a hint of blue...
[Motorola Droid 3] lilmoney30:
Im coming from a iphone4 and I like the screen a lot! The phone is a power house, I got it yesterday and im not looking back!
[Motorola Droid 3] rushless:
I got the D3 on Thursday, after returning the firmware challenged DX2. The D3 display seems much better, but probably due to the more dense pixels, for the smaller display. IMO, the display rocks (nice to be able to see fine outside too).

As far as stability, I am semi-stunned that after 1.3gb of apps installed (215), I have had no lag issues that required a reboot, no spontaneous reboots and zero sign of audio pops- all issues I had with the DX2 from day one (and after a reset to stock).

Icing on the cake is N64 and PSX games play even smoother than the Tegra 2 devices (including the DX2) that I have used or own now. For all the issues the DX2 had, it did play games on those emulators well, but the D3 plays even smoother and nice to have the great keyboard for emulators :)
[Motorola Droid 3] CLB-NL:
A little bit offtopic, but how much space do you have for installing apps / games?

And I mean without using Apps2SD, but only internal.. More than 1,3GB then? Cool!
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
I just got my DROID 3. The pentile screen is fine. The only place I notice it is the battery icon. Text is as sharp or sharper than my slcd incredible. I have no complaints with the screen whatsoever.
[Motorola Droid 3] bsweetness:
It seems that there is about 2gb dedicated for apps out of the total 16gb of internal memory. The remaining portion of the internal memory that's available to the user clocks in at just over 11gb and shows up as either "Media Storage" or "Internal Storage" (it depends on where you're looking at it, but the Media Storage seems to come up more often in the settings). You can choose to move apps to this allotment of storage just like you're moving them to the SD card, which is really nice.
[Motorola Droid 3] CLB-NL:
Thanks for checking! 2GB is nice!

I really want this phone (or a version of it that works well in Europe)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunole:
I'm currently using the new 2.3.4 leaked moto rom from Kenneth Penn's post. I also use Barnacle quite regularly for tethering. When attempting to connect directly from the phone to our PPTP VPN, I successfully connect, but a bunch of protocols are rejected and the connection is pretty much useless.

However, when I tether and connect to the VPN via wifi, I'm not even able to connect. Is this a known issue with Barnacle/Android or the Atrix specifically? Are there other apps that people have found that circumvent these issues?

I've seen some posts that explain you can modify the ppp0 routing tables and some people are using the Android Tether app. But before I dig too deep into those ventures, I'm curious if someone else has already found a decent solution.

Thanks!!
