[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
If you get a phone w/ics system dump before anything else please, if you need a hand lots of people here will help (or on irc) but since moto still has the d3 listed as "evaluating" for ics and haven't even started working on a build I would say the rep is more than likely mistaken. Hopefully not but if moto had an ics build for the d3 I imagine we would have heard about a soak or something. As for your question I would probably try the root for d4 and if that didn't work check out what they're using on the nexus etc
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
If you do get ICS please tweet Hash. We really could benefit from it.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
We would still have a locked bootloader and the same kernel issues though. I'd put money on the rep being wrong, but I'd like to be proven wrong.
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
so what version of android did you end up getting on the d3?
[Motorola Droid 3] y0himba:
You folks were right. He was wrong. It has 2.3.4.

It runs pretty fast, compares well to the DX2. I wanted CM ROM on it, but none are completely working. Camera has issues GSM FCs and so forth. I just wish my DX2 would work. Haven't used a physical keyboard in a while either.

What do you folks think of your Droid 3s?
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
I bought my D3 FOR the keyboard. I came from an enV touch and the thought of a touchscreen keyboard that wasn't 100% perfect made me shiver. Looking back, I would definitely have gone with a SGS II. I didn't know anything about the D3's bootloader being locked and the full touch screen is definitely worth the unlocked bootloader. That being said, I still love the keyboard. It's better than any I have ever used.

I don't hate my Droid 3. It runs my ICS roms rather smoothly and the only thing that I wished worked is Google Chrome. I use the camera but I found that I have not wanted to use the video recorder since switching; even if it DID work.

If you want a CM ROM that is pretty stable, I'd recommend 7.2 found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1308924

It's a bit more stable than CM9, though it still has some bugs. Stable enough for a daily driver in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
My d3 is alright but if I was sent one now with any option of sending back either for a different phone or terminate a contract(within 30 days or whatever and setup a new one) I would jump @ the chance, just because its a little old, 1g ram would be nice but imo it's like dual core phones, 1 core is wasted 90% of the time, upgradable to ics would be very nice too, custom kernel would be nicest though(htc,lg etc etc). I guess what I'm saying is its decent but I wouldn't buy one now.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I'd say droid 3 is all about the keyboard. Without the keyboard, there would be many better phones. Phones with 1GB ram, unlocked bootloader and a better screen.

However, I'd rather have a keyboard than have those ^ things without a keyboard :).
[Motorola Droid 3] y0himba:
It seems to run faster, and more smooth than my Droid X2. It's ugly though, and it will take some getting used to a physical keyboard again. I have it rooted, radiocom hacked. I want to tweak the camera, but the thread is confusing me a bit as to which zip to use, or which edits to make to build.pro and the XML file. I would prefer to edit rather than install a zip as I don't really want a bootstrap on the phone.

App Brain is making me frustrated though, since Fast Web Installer will not log in.

So far, I am loving this.
[Motorola Droid 3] trisonics1:
Another heartbreak. :( If D3 doesn't gets ICS by July, I'll let it go.

Well I just joined and can not contribute to any of the conversations I would like to contribute to because I do not have 10 posts yet so I guess you can count me as unsatisfied at the moment.. I can't even comment on stuff in the marketplace? So I'm forced to contribute BS to conversations I don't care about to get 10 posts so I can join the discussions I want to join. There seems like there has to be a better way.

Would have to agree with you kentu3. MOst of the questions have already been answered if you search.

Another thing that I do before posting a question about ROM "xyz" is to read the whole thread on that rom. You would be or not be suprised as to how many times the same question gets asked.

Thanks again kentu3 for this thread, and a big thanks to the DEV's and MOD's who make this site worth visiting

Hi! New here. I for one like the 10 post rule because it helps keeping it clean and when you surpass the limit you have proven yourself worthy.

Coming from a wide range of other communities, also as admin or moderator, I instantly knew XDA's rule was brilliant. Looking forward to contributing in any way I can.

Now I'm gonna try and find out how to find this Thanks-button in XDA app :)

[About XDA developers] AdMire:
I'm kind of new here too and I've notice this site takes a long time to load. Does anyone have that problem?
[About XDA developers] juzz86:
It is quite an ad-heavy site unless you use a blocker of some description. There's also a mammoth amount of content. I've seen a lot of people mention load times as a downfall, but to be honest I don't notice it taking any longer than some of the other tech sites I frequent :)

Load times are such a subjective thing though, everyone will differ. What browser do you use? Firefox seems to pop up a lot re: slow load times.
[About XDA developers] AdMire:
Well I typically do most of my surfing at work, which I use IE right now. Don't have much of a choice. I downloaded Firefox a while back but it never worked right. Not sure if it's because of the firewall or whatever here, (I have no idea how that all works) but Firefox was terrible. I tried to get Chrome but it's blocked too.

The slowness to me isn't really a huge deal, just curious why as other forums I frequent load pretty fast. But the more I surf around here, there is a TON of info.
[About XDA developers] juzz86:
I use IE (6) at work too Ed, and it's noticeably (horribly) slower than Chrome at home. Likewise, all other options are restriced here for me.

For personal use at home, the latest Chrome with Ad Blocker Pro (free) works extremely well at speeding up the genera;l browsing experience here at XDA. It is a resource-heavy forum so it still takes a little longer to load, but that's the price I pay for the wealth of information here, to me personally anyway :)

Could be worse, I was on 56k at home until last year when they upgraded our RIM (out in woop-woop) :p

Because I can't find the Thanks button...

I'm not totally computer stupid, but there's no way on earth I could do what you guys do.

This is my first post and God knows I will contribute very little to this site, though I have already gained a great deal. I would, however, like to say Thank You to those who have put in a lot of time and effort to help those less fortunate than themselves.

I have searched and searched and searched again, but have yet to see a Thank You button on a post. Granted, I'm not as young as I used to be, so I could very well have missed it, but if so, missed it I have.

If I have to wait until I get 10 posts to see it, I will never see it, so Thank you for the KFU, the help getting SuperUser and android market installed when KFU didn't do it for me, and for the Intro to Rooting, etc., your Kindle. I love you xdadevelopers!

After posting this I was able to see the Thank You button, so I guess you have to post at least one post to see it. Going to catch up on my Thank You's now!)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SaneQ:
Hey! Is there a way of getting push notification email on this phone? Gmail has push but does the email app have it somehow? SGSII Had push with the email so its pretty ridiculous if this hasnt got it... Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nunosm:
Try k9 email. It has push capabilities.

Regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Barracuda77777:
I am using the email client that came with the note, if you configure your email using imap, or lucky enough to have exchange then push will work, if you do pop3 then push won't work. I bought Kaiten which is the paid version of K9 pop3 is still timed and not pushed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] almostinsane:
If you have Exchange then it will push...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
Yes the native client supports servers that will do push (ie exchange).

Incidentally the mail client "Touchdown" ****s all over the native client (yes is does cost approx $20, I reckon its worth it.)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chelseafcfan:
the build in email client works fine for me. just try to set it correctly and it will push ur email regularly..but watch out 4 battery consumption
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zen0s:
I have Exchange setup but push works for only few days and it stops for some reason :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Just install the official Microsoft: Hotmail + Seven from the Play Store, free and configure it to push.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
I always thought Gmail was push :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
it is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
Push on the native email client works but has this flaw: it will disable push when it is unable to connect to server. You need to manually load the app again to re-enable push.

This disabling might happen when travelling in train when you loose network momentarily, or when leaving one WLAN and connecting with another after a few minutes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] saumil@xda:
Ah...i use to wonder why sometime push is working and sometime not...i thought somewhere related to data connection but couldn't get the exact pattern. Thanks, This will surely help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zen0s:
Any idea why I'm not able to see embedded images on native email client with exchange setup? It's showing only as attached files and image itself on email has little blue question mark :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] almostinsane:
what kind of images? png,jpg,gif?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zen0s:
it was jpg... Some emails shows and some don't not sure why... Confused~
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SaneQ:
Ok thanks guys. Can you post me the steps to set up and hotmail account with push? I remember that i had my hotmail with push on SGS somehow. I just can't find the tutorial anymore.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] almostinsane:
I think you need to set the hotmail server to m.hotmail.com to get push to work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomeGrownHeroz:
I have recently installed cyanogen on my desire and have found the mod to be an absolute joy to use. The one irritation however has been the automatic screen dimming. Every 6 or 7 seconds or so the screen dims itself. This can become very annoying when reading long messages or any other text. I have looked on lots of threads but have found no answer to my question. Surely there must be a simple solution to turn off this automatic dimming setting?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android311:
I think....(not exactly sure) but that may be apart of the actual rom, if there is no setting under display then its probaly built in that way. Under settings/display you can change the screen time out if that help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomeGrownHeroz:
reply

I've played around with all the settings myself and have so far been unsuccessful. Its not a problem really, just a bit annoying. I just find it hard to believe such an awesome mod doesn't have a simple off switch.

If anyone knows of a way to extend the screen dimming then that will help too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
I think what you're looking for is the Sleep setting. Go under Settings -> Display -> Sleep, and select a longer time interval if needed. Your current setting might be set to sleep after 15 seconds, causing the screen to dim at 6-7 seconds. Change it to maybe 1-2 minutes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexander7567:
yes you can. Put the widget 'Power Control" on the home screen and you can do it easily from there. Thats how i do it.

[HTC Sensation] cpdeepak:
ROM developers have been doing a great job over the years to provide newer ROM's for older phones that have been left SOL by carriers/manufacturers/google and for a great price. $0. And I want to thank them for that.

I have personally rooted all sorts of devices from the original iphone/mytouch/gtablet/nook etc. But, I have noticed that once I root them, I could never use them as my daily driver and even though they provide great performance and speed. Stability remains the holy grail for rooted device and understandably so, since developers have a day job and a busy life to provide complete support for all devices.

So am I wrong in saying devices with stock ROM's have greater stability than rooted ones?
[HTC Sensation] JustinRawr:
Well if your the type needing stability over anything else, then yes stay with stock. Out of my personal experience, ARHD is the most stable ROM I've ever had. I can't remember a time it had a random reboot or something didn't work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XepA:
Hi everyone,

Does anyone knows how to put the symbol key (on the bottom right) to work on custom roms like it works on stock?

I use a lot of letters like "á, é, ã".

So on the original ROM I needed to press the Sym key + the "A" key to get the "Á".

On Custom Roms (MiniCM7 in this case) The Sym key works just like the blue key.

Is there any workaround or app to fix this?

Best Regards.

I have also los connection to my Microsoft Exchange, thus not being able to receive any emails on my phone

Can anyone help in how I could downgrade to a version previous than 4.0.3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonOsterman:
I have the same problem, I've had a bit of a google and it seems the only way is to do something called 'root' your phone. Which is just like getting a higher password so you can have more control over your phone.

Before you can do this though you must first 'S-off' your phone, which disables some of the security measures your phone has to stop you removing proprietary software or messing with things you shouldn't. To do this you should go here: [edit] won't let me post link so search revolutionary'dot'io

Apparently for these purposes the Sensation and the Sensation XE are the same thing.

This is the nearest tutorial I could find: [edit] youtube /watch?v=kvg0i8in96M

Unfortunately it won't work for me as my hboot number isn't in the drop down box for Sensation on the revolutionary website.

It looks like my only remaining option is this.. [edit] search 'juopunutbear' which frankly I don't feel happy doing.

There are more steps to carry out which I haven't listed here as I've not investigated them too much as I got stuck on the hboot thing, also I'm a massive n00b at all this, so if there is any1 else out there that could point us in the right direction I would be hugely grateful.
