I'm now on my fourth D3 (since August), so not really too happy.
[Motorola Droid 3] anonymous-x:
The D3 is OK w/me, love the keyboard,even tho a smaller screen than my other DX & DX2,no complaints, I like this better than my 'ol Inc2, only complaint is the 3G is way slower than with/fi.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

But I use the one click booster & that helps my 3G speed for a little bit. Bad reception area.

I'm happy with mine I had a extended battery but I had to send it back because it would only work half of the time. I got the profiles setup now with rom toolbox and it has been a huge asset. My next phone is going to be a htc phone miss having one though 90% of my phones have been Motorola
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Careful about the dropping. I thought mine was pretty tough, then one day I dropped about 1 foot while getting out of the car and cracked the screen real good.
[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
I always drop my phone carefully
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I have a case that is slightly bigger than the phone so I hopefully don't crack the screen. This phone has been good to me.
[Motorola Droid 3] bitz_dv:
Still love my D3. I've dropped it a ton since I decided to go caseless and aside from ugly chips on the corners (and some gouges in the screen) it has stood up well. I have a backup though just in case.

I won't make it the 2 years. I keep an eye out for busted up phones to fix, and the D4 just started popping up (and the parts to fix it) so I will be moving on as soon as I find a deal. Going to keep with the keyboard phones though.
[Motorola Droid 3] anonymous-x:
Droid 3 is solid

I started w/the D2,the X's,X2's,Inc2 now the D3. Love the KB. Ok slightly smaller screen but no problem. The D4 KB has other characters-no thanks & it's 4G,not ready for that here. I figure I'll let Red get it built first.

My D3 gives me no problems, the weight makes me feel like this cell is a solid phone, good sound,easy w/the root I've got 98 apps I use with still no problems. So I'd say I'm content & happy w/my Droid 3. No bugs I have to worry about w/my D3, I think Red shuold have carried it longer but 4G took it away.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
I still love my Droid 3! It's the device of my dreams. With all the tweaks (esp. Atrix Camera), and rooted, deodexed stock 5.7.894 it's perfect. I wouldn't switch to the Droid 4, not really Global, thicker, no replaceable battery. I really love the screen and its great outdoor performance.

Problem with Android OS (Kernel)

I very love Droid 3.

But now, i have a problem. Android OS drain battery so much.My droid standby overnight. After 7h, Battery is 30%. I checked and see that Android OS is 82%.

I use Badass Bettery monitor to check, Kernel is 70%.

I don't know what is running?

Help me, Please.

Thanks

Droid 3 - Verizon
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
What apps do you have installed? Words with Friends will do that for me, and so will fb. I use the v6 script and it seems to help tame it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I've had it randomly happen. Did a battery pull and ut was dine
[Motorola Droid 3] kratosmpl:
Thanks for reply.

I have installed basic apps: yahoo, root explore, facebook, battery defender, taskmanager, easy task killer, map, battery calibrate, titanium backup.

What is the v6 script? can you guide me?

Thanks do much.

Droid 3 - Verizon
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Try uninstalling fb. Also search for V6 Supercharger Script. Basically you install Busybox, Script Manager, then download the script, run as root, and pick a setting and it optimizes RAM.
[Motorola Droid 3] Fuzz1303:
I love my droid 3 still. Granted it's only around a year old, but I feel like it does what I need plus an infinite amount more without too much hassle. Maybe if they come out with something that is far and away the best phone on the market (I'm talking significant distinguishable differences) and it doesn't cost a trillion dollars I'd consider changing.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
If you use automatic task killers on certain tasks they will restart themselves. Such as facebook app. When they restart they use some cpu which drains the battery. Android is pretty good at memory management, you don't really need a task.killer
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Use autostarts
[Motorola Droid 3] CornholioGSM:
...i am waiting for droid 5...droid 4 is for me too much big :(
[Motorola Droid 3] kratosmpl:
Can you tell me more detail, please?

What can Autostarts control? i have readed about it on play google, but not detail.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
And you think Moto is going to make a smaller D5? All they have done is grow =P

Rocking with my M3 and XDA app
[Motorola Droid 3] CornholioGSM:
Smaller screen no, but the final size od droid 4 is too big - is has many of unused spaces :(

For me is better classic droid design as Droid 1/Droid 2/ Droid 3.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
It stops the apps from autpmatically starting in the first place. Apps actually have alot of triggers ghat cause them to start in the background. This can turn that off
[Motorola Droid 3] CornholioGSM:
...maybe this will be new droid 5 :)
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
i love my d3..its no OG but it to me it is a rock solid device..

the d4 is crud and from what i understand moto is doing away with keyboarded phones so my d3 is here to stay..unlike big red who i will be ditching just like my friends and family will be doing as soon as our contracts are up..tier/share that b*tches lol

you cant tell me thats not sexy!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Haha you are running Eclipse I can tell. I love how well the phone runs especially on Eclipse (I finally figured out how to get it to run right since it wasn't at first) and now I am happy. I hated how the phone didn't feel smooth at all on Gingerbread but did on ICS but I hate how ICS will never be finished but then I ran this ROM and spent some time figuring some things out and now it is so smooth. It feels like a new phone all over again.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
i sure am..i love this rom...but i kinda cant wait to see how mavrom will be with the overclock integrated
[Motorola Droid 3] Nschneider7:
I'm still in love with my DROID 3. Even more so now that I got a tablet. I know that sounds odd but now I can use ICS the way it was meant on my tf300 and put the fastest rom on my phone without worrying about losing 4.0. Plus ICS just makes more sense on a tablet. While yes I would hope that one day we can see a full working rom of aokp/cm9 or whatever someone makes. But having a fully functional phone is awesome.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
OVELAYER

After you test mavrom overclocked do yu mind telln me which you prefer. That eclipse theme you have looks awesome, i have yet to try eclipse
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
currently i dont believe they have released the oc'd mav but you can bet im inline lol

and sure ill let ya know..mav is a really good rom so i am anxious to see how it is on steroids lol
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Oh i was just going to follow ricks thred to overclock it myself aha
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
OVELAYER, can you please share more details about all those info on your screen?

i mean the 1st and 3d icons under the weather widget (from left to right.)

thank you.
[Motorola Droid 3] LaTropa64:
I'm happy with mine. I would be happier though if:

1) LTE

2) 1GB RAM

3) Unencrypted Bootloader

I won't switch to the Droid 4 because the battery isn't easily removable and it's not a Global phone. I travel overseas fairly often and it's great being able to take my everyday phone with me.

Hopefully by the time I outgrow this phone the latest Droid will have went back to a removable battery and a global version.
[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
Its so cool. When ICS is coming out, it will be the best phone available.

Cant wait. Cooool.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
ICS will not be available for D3, unless hashcode makes it happen.
[Motorola Droid 3] MacNews:
I wouldn't be surprised if there is no Droid 5. But hardly any other manufacturers make a keyboard-phone so I don't know where else we'd go. :(
[Motorola Droid 3] anonymous-x:
Droid 3

Well the time has come, someone found my CC # & broke into my account, so now I'm starting to think better security. I love my Droid 3 but I'm thinking of going to the IPhone. I'll wait & see what the next one is like & I understand this next one will be the last of SJ, then they're going to have to build something new.
[Motorola Droid 3] kratosmpl:
Nobody help me. :(

My problem so terrible. Android OS is draining battery so much.

:(
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
What ROM are you on and what all have you done? There are plenty of threads to tweak Android battery life.
[Motorola Droid 3] kratosmpl:
I have read many threat, but i still can't find answer for droid 3.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
That doesn't give me much info. What rom are you on and what apps do you have installed?
[Motorola Droid 3] cappysw10:
No motofail

Sent from my totally awesome D3
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
My Droid 3 is officially listed on ebay this morning lol.

I am now on the Nexus!
[Motorola Droid 3] AStinkyBumb:
had mine for about 10 months now. rooted it after 3 noticed durring those 3 months and after that it would get bogged down about once a week. just freeze the apps i dont plan on using and shut them down and it runs crisply. havent done any major damage to it yet. its my baby doesnt leave my side and i rarely ever drop it. so far im very happy with it!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Kexec may be coming. There is hope.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
If this does happen, then my answer will chance from "absolutely not," to "not reslly."
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I'm pretty mad we won't be getting ICS officially, especially when the Bionic with nearly the same hardware but 1GB of RAM is getting it.

There really isn't much choice if you want QWERTY and Verizon, as I refuse to buy another Motorola after getting screwed out of ICS. I would love to see the Samsung Captivate Glide on Verizon, as its better in specs than the Verizon Samsung Android slider. I may have to just go keyboardless but I don't want something with a huge screen like most new Android devices. If they made a 4" Nexus on Verizon I'd buy it even without a keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Hashcode has stated the RAM is exactly why we aren't getting ics
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
That is why Motorola isn't giving us ICS, because all of that bloat on 512MB of RAM would be hard to do. Even GB manages to hog all of the RAM loading up bloatwarePure non bloated ICS like CM9 does fine on 512MB of RAM, look at the Nexus S which got ICS and is getting JB.

Hopefully the rumors are true and we see 5 Nexus devices this November. If Google does a QWERTY Nexus then I would definitely buy it or even a non keyboard phone as long as the screen isn't huge.

EDIT:

I went back and read Hash Codes explanation and it sounds like an OMAP4 issue. I would really like to see CM 7.2 then and it sound like it will be developed someday.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It really is more TI's fault and Moto for not releasing source code for ducati.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
weve also been pressuring moto for the unlocked bootlaoder, should have just asked for ducati source code. i just asked them about it, i know ofcourse it wont get me anywhere but i feel better knowing they have knowledge of an option to keep bootloader locked while still serving their dev needs.
[Motorola Droid 3] cappysw10:
Wouldn't it be in Moto and VZ best interest to unlock the bootloader? Bricks galore, on to 4G *cough* and no more unlimited data.
[Motorola Droid 3] adamskub:
I'm overall happy with my phone hardware wise, not really software wise. I was looking at a DROID 4, but I gotta tell ya, that thing looks ugly as sin. I was browsing The Verge forums yesterday and came upon a post for designing your perfect phone and I thought I would create the phone I would want. My post is further down but this is basically what I came up with (attached below) and I'm wondering....would you buy this phone? Let's say spec wise, it's on par with the Galaxy S3. From my post:

Just wanted to see what your thoughts were :laugh:
[Motorola Droid 3] Savior057:
I love the phone. Had it for 7 months or so and still love it. I went from the original Motorola RAZR way back in 2005 (lost it at a rave in Seattle) to a Motorola SLVR, then to Samsung BlackJack II in 2008 (first real "smart phone"), then on to an HTC Pure in 2010 (fricking piece of low-quality crap), then to an HTC Tilt 2 (AKA HTC Touch Pro 2) and fell in love with QUERTY slider phone style. I was intent on getting a Droid 2, then read about the brand-new Droid 3, and subsequently paid $600 for an unlocked brand-new XT860 from Canada (with 2-year full warranty) so I could keep my unlimited AT&T data plan that I'd been grandfathered into.

So far it's by far the best phone I've ever owned; rarely a problem with it at all (except the occasional sticky space-bar and "A" key), and the thing is physically tough enough to beat a cat to death with it (not that I've done that... recently...).

But seriously, the phone is pretty much awesome.

At first I bought the slightly-extended MOTO 1880mAh battery, which was pretty good, but just a few days ago I upgraded to the Mugen Power 3600mAh battery, which is just insane. See my thread here: Mugen Power 3600mAh: Awesome

I know it has a few shortcomings, but all the apps I need are available for it, it still has a fairly competitive processor/GPU, and that great QWERTY keyboard that so few other phones can claim, plus Gorilla Glass. I mean come on; NO phone will ever stay at the top of the line for more than a few months before they release a new one with a bigger screen and faster specs and support for Android version 8.4: Buffalo Wing or version 9.7: Mongolian Bar-B-Q or what-the-hell-ever. As far as picking a sturdy piece of hardware with lots of functionality, the Droid 3 is keeping me pretty content.
[Motorola Droid 3] javitogomezzzz:
Yes i am, i mean, when i bought the phone it costed me the same than a Droid 2 in another carrier. So there wasn't much to think.

Anyway, if i could have chosen i would have probably bought an Atrix.
[Motorola Droid 3] cobravnm13:
I love my Droid 3. I'm bummed that it's pretty much dead in Moto and VZW's eyes, but development is still going strong and that makes me happy. I can't wait for Kexec to be fully functional so we can have more functionality. Especially since we might have a more complete ICS on our devices after Kexec is implemented.
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
I can honestly say that I am 100% dissatisfied with my D3. When they released Blur for the D2, it was abysmal. It destroyed the phone, it interfered with normal google functions and it made the experience terrible. Then, Moto delivered a release that actually made the phone snappy and a joy to use. I actually liked my phone more than my D1. The interface was attractive and worked. I could root it and get rid of what I didn't need.

Then I got roped into a D3. My wife's phone was literally falling apart, we were due for an upgrade and a deal popped up. I was able to sell my D1 and D2 for basically the price of two D3s. It was meant to be.

But the phone was slow from the start. Blur was terrible, like it originally was on the D2. But I waited, as usual, in hopes that Moto would deliver. Then... they discontinued the line. No more major updates would be delivered, so then I started to lean against the custom ROMs. It was everything I hated about owning a Windows phone back in the day. I thought that the time had come, where I finally found a phone that I could actually use (D1). But I was back where I left off. Back trying to make up for a terrible implementation of something that could have otherwise been better.

Now I'm committed. I can't move off onto another phone. Subsidized phones are now out of my vocabulary as the newest data tier pricing plans would amount to nearly $60 more /mo than what I'm currently paying.

I just sent my third D3 back, this time for warranty. The one that they sent me last Thursday has some sort of touch issue and I feel the need to go to the VZW store to show them first hand. I'm not happy with this situation. As much as I love my keyboard, I would gladly give it all up for a Nexus right now. Terrible battery life or not, this has got to go.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
640k: I'm sorry it hasn't worked out. But at least we got some good development activity with kexec. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
I really miss my D1. Not because of the hardware, but because of the experience. It did everything it was supposed to do, when it was suppsed to do it and I never had an issue. I went days if not weeks without ever rebooting.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
I can't share your oppinion. I think it's like with the old games "Oh that game was great, i loved it" ... and then, years later you see it and think "wft?!". :D

I love my Droid 3 ... and I already had 7 Android devices.
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Yet, Hashcode has gotten 4.04 ICS running on the Kindle Fire with pretty much the same hardware: 512mg ram and the OMap 4430 1ghz dual core. This is because on the Fire he was able to replace the stock Kernel with a custom replacement that enables hardware acceleration. He can't do that on the Droid3, but ONLY because Verizon and Motorola have stubbornly and foolishly maintained the locked encrypted kernel on the Droid3.

The Kindle Fire, running Hashcode's unofficial nightly ICS kernel&ROM release is slick and responsive and makes the stock Droid3 look like an old model-T auto in comparison. And JellyBean (4.1) is on the way...

My phone for daily use remains my Droid3, which works and is great for like geocaching and streaming music and video out its micro-HDMI port. In some respects it is (even stunted by Gingerbread and the locked kernel) a better phone for what I want it for than a GNexus would be (MHL ???). If I ever receive my new GNexus I might change my mind.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Motorola also has some proprietary drivers on the D3 that are a problem. However with kexec it seems like these are no longer an issue.

As a side note, official CM9 only requires 512 ram, again, locked bootloader causing problems
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Regarding kexec...I had followed the initial thread back in April and concluded that the kexec technique would not really result in a functioning locked-kernel bypass on the cdma D3. The thread died more or less fruitless at the end of April and I didn't check on it after that. Until today, based on your comment.

Someone (jon???) managed to start making some progress with it at the first of July, and over the last couple of weeks the work has progressed to the point where Hashcode has gotten involved. I wondered where Hashcode had gone since the 6th of July, when he got scarce in the Kindle Fire dev-threads...seems he was working again on the Droid3 !!!

We might actually get a usable ICS kernel and ROM out of this work. That would be awesome. Good thing Hashcode has a Droid3.

Of course, things come up, but they are looking better.

The proper thing to happen is still for Motorola to release a method of unlocking the Droid3 kernel, like they said they would do last year. It would also help if the source for the device's hardware drivers was also released, from TI, I guess ? That might still be an real hard problem for further development, those drivers, but it is amazing what has been accomplished over the last week and few days !

Its like a pent-up dam broke.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Sorry to dig up this ancient thread, but I came across this article today, and thought it was interesting as to what specs this system has, yet is able to boot and run ICS...

http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/raspberry-pi-android-port-debuts-on-video-2012081/

If you don't feel like reading, they built an AOSP 4.0.3 build that runs on a 700MHz ARM chip with 256MB of RAM. And that RAM is shared with the GPU. There's a video of it running in that link.

[Motorola Droid 3] Kanly1:
I really like this phone. Not sure if I will switch when my contract is up. Any news on a droid 5 in the works?
[Motorola Droid 3] enigmaco:
Not sure but this will be my last motorola phone
[Motorola Droid 3] Kanly1:
Didn't moto say they would start unlocking the bootloader in their new phones? Did anything ever come of that?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
They are introducing the Photon Q 4G on Sprint with an unlockable bootloader. Source from Motorola: http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/07/26/unlock-the-bootloader-on-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte/

You could consider this phone to be the Droid 5, too bad Verizon isn't getting it. But even if they did get it the Verizon version would likely have a locked bootloader.

I am going to likely leave Motorola after this phone, I could live with the locked bootloader since I knew that going in. But the lack of an ICS upgrade really made me mad. Hopefully hashcode can get CM9/10 with kexec working enough to be a daily driver someday.

Somehow when I slide to switch screens or just slide to unlock, sometimes I lose icons in the lower "sticky" part of the screen. Recently, the phone dialer, messaging, and the app icon disappeared.

I've had this happen on GB and various ICS. Right now I'm using Apex on Dark Side Evolution from May 9th.

I have finally made a backup and fortunately was able to restore. But it's frustrating to need to use the dialer and it's gone!

What am I donig wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] techfanatic9:
Make sure that you are using darkside superwipe before installing any new custom rom.

If that method doesn't work try going into settings any restore it.
