[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
I am having that problem rarely, and often I get a glowy dim screen that only will go away after a battery pull. I no longer run my D3 with the rear case on, just using a plastic rear case instead to get it on and off easier. When the phone is theoretically OFF, but that dim screen glowing is going on, it eats battery pretty quick even though it is not responsive until powered down and re-started. By powered down, I mean battery pull.

Another problem is a lot scarier to me...about 7 out of 10 tries, when I power up the phone (after a battery pull, the only really reliable way to power down the Droid3 with CM10.1 on it) and select Recovery via Menu from SafeStrap 3.05's boot screen with the cute robot, most times it boots CM10.1 anyway, not going into recovery as selected. It usually takes MANY tries to actually get into TWRP v2.2.1 instead of booting CM10.1 and that worries me. Seems to be getting harder over time.

If I cannot get into Recovery from SafeStrap, I would find it difficult to get back to Stock if I needed to. Having to try over and over sort of defeats the purpose of SafeStrap making changes in system versions quickly and easily.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
If it's any consolation, I believe Hashcode is aware of this. Also, to get into recovery every time you can power on by holding power and the m key on your keyboard. Then use the volume down button to get to the bottom option (don't remember what it is right now) and press volume up to select it. Then it boots straight into recovery. Or if you enable developer options, you can enable the advanced reboot to allow an automated reboot into recovery as well. I don't use that too often, so I'm not 100% sure how well it works. But the option is there.
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
My phone, for the most part, runs problem-free; a bit choppy at times. A reboot or a task killer helps me in laggy situations.

Perhaps, those with extreme conditions should backup their apps and wipe their ROM slot and start from scratch.

[Motorola Droid 3] harryspar:
higgs_boson I'm curious about how you use task killers. I keep reading people declaring that they don't do anything because Android has a built in system for mem management, and task killers backfire because the system uses resources restarting services, yada yada. I'm sure you've seen them. What are you using and how does it affect performance?
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
I use the app called "Task Manager" by Omich, which can be found on the Play Store. It has a great interface which lets you see processes and services running and individually stop which ones you want, or do a batch stop. It also has whitelisting, on which I always put my overclocking and RAM apps, as well as other apps.

As for my thoughts on the subject matter, I am not educated enough to make a knowledgeable decision on whether or not they work. However, from experimenting with a few different ones, and a bit of trial and error, I believe they work.

In normal cases, I don't use one. On this due to just how everything is using ram for now, you kinda have to haha.

I'm hopeful that the updated kernel will address these issues so I wont have to use one.
[Motorola Droid 3] pgzerwer:
Moved on to Galaxy Note 2 about a month ago and frankly amazed. Just checked back to see what progress has been made here but really looks like nothing much has changed. Hash code and Dhacker have made valiant efforts but I could only live on hope for so long. Good luck to you all.

GSM Brazil

Hi. I have a XT860 (market name: Milestone 3) from Brazil.

The main problem is my GSM does not work.

I installed many roms

cm-10.1-20130514-NIGHTLY-solana.zip

cm-10.1-20130507-NIGHTLY-solana.zip

cm-10.1-20130507-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip

http://aokp.co/devices/solana

Etc.. The roms works fine but there is no GSM connection to the carrier.

The most curious is when I try to install some patch for the RADIO the boot becomes too slow (the Cyanogenmod animation) and never boot (I waited 50 minutes for 3 times)

Radio patches:

JB-XT860_FIX.zip ( http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1501237&d=1353540440 )

XT883radio.zip ( http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana/XT883radio.zip )

I dont know what is happening but maybe some change from Android 4.2.1 to Android 4.2.2 on CM10.1 that broken the gsm driver because I remember that the CM10 worked fine with the JB-XT860 patch.

I am using the safestrap 3.05 the CM9 works fine with the XT860_ics patch

KEXEC-cm-9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip ( http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/solana/cm9/KEXEC-cm-9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip )

Can I provide some extra information to help solve this?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Its not that.

I ran my Droid3 in Italy on CM10.1 a couple of weeks ago on GSM with both TIM and Wind chips and it worked fine.

I have not messed with the radio code, because I got it unlocked for International GSM use by Verizon and so as long as I don't use it under GSM in the USA I am fine and that works. Only radio hack I ever did was to allow tethering (TBH).

Installing the Chinese radio is only to allow the Droid3 to be used with US GSM carriers, like T-mobile or ATT (bleh). I've never tried that, as I don't want to mess up the tethering in my hacked stock radio.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
AFAIK the 883 radio is NOT compatible with the 860 and also AFAIK data does not work on the 860 atm
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
What's happened to Hashcode, dhacker, and all the guys working on D3?? :(

So much time has passed since the last update on the works... is this device left to dying already? :(
[Motorola Droid 3] Twistit:
Guess most people moved on and got a new Phone by now.. I'm just checking in once a month to see if someone had a magic breakthrough so i can give my droid tot my mother in semi working condition..
[Motorola Droid 3] gadgetrants:
I wouldn't buy a new phone just yet. ;) Last tweet was a week ago:

https://twitter.com/Hashcode0f/status/332563795643867136

Let's hang in there, and try avoiding the "I just got the latest-and-greatest phone and wanted to rub everyone's nose in it" type messages. :p I don't know if the people who post those realize how discouraging they are (or how oversensitive I am LOL).

-Matt
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
Awwww....i missed that tweet :S even if i usually scan Hashcode s' answers! (yeah i'm a creeper :D )

Anyway, this put some hope in me :) thanks!

The people pimping around with nice phones can shout out their "new phone pride" as much as they want, because i think that the best Global QWERTY-slide phone is still the D3 :D :D :D but maybe in 1/2 years i'll get an GS4 with a slide qwerty cover...if Motorola doesnt'came out with an uberqwertyphone! ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Anyone experiencing any problems with widgets/icons disappearing from the home screen? It seems like some sort of graphics glitch. Just wondering if I'm the only one. I know that they are still there, because if I long press on the home screen they will appear for me to move or remove them from the home screen. They just aren't visible sometimes.
[Motorola Droid 3] gadgetrants:
Yeah I might secretly have my eye on a new phone or two. Just trying to show a brave face, keep the spirit up!

-Matt
[Motorola Droid 3] ricky12:
I've had them disappear due to memory constraints but nothing like you described when I was on JB.
[Motorola Droid 3] porks:
You said that with a ROM like this http://www.get.cm/?device=solana you can use the GSM Carrier.

What do you mean with 'unlocked for Internation GSM'? Are you referring to the code that we can buy? Like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Yes, it worked fine under GSM with the current (at the time) Solana CM10.1 ROMs I tried. Data, voice, & txt. WIND and TIM sims. Italy, 2 weeks.

About getting it unlocked...I had the phone under Verizon Wireless here in the USA. I called them, got their International support people, told them I wanted the phone unlocked for use in Italy. They said, "Sure, use this code." It was free and it unlocked the phone for international use. I have heard that it would not help with non-Verizon use in the USA - that you would need to replace the radio code with the Chinese version in order to do that, PLUS still you would need a valid unlock code.

I have also heard that buying an unlock code for this phone is not always going to work. I have no information on that.

With Verizon, every 4 months of regular contract payments entitles the customer to one unlock code from Verizon, which will work with that one phone. If you want to use the phone in the USA on TMobile or ATT, you will also need to replace the radio code, which will keep you from being able to use it on Verizon as a CDMA 3G phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I wonder if that has changed? When I called them last year, it was one unlock code for any phone in your account in a ten month period. Of course, you need only one unlock code for any one phone; they don't expire or anything. But, if you have a family plan with two droid 3 phones, you'll want to plan ahead if you want them both unlocked for free from Verizon.
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Could have been every 10 months. I may remember that wrong !

I only did it once, when I was upgraded last summer to my Verizon Galaxy Nexus to get me onto their 4G network.

Since the VGNexus is never going to be useful outside the USA, I wanted my old Droid3 unlocked for international use.

I like my Nexus4 better, but it won't do CDMA and I go through a lot of data a month. My Verizon account is still unlimited 4G (Grandfathered).

T-Mobile won't even do Edge a lot of places I go.

I have no T-Mobile data at all just east of Charlottesville, VA, even near I-64 !

Verizon is 4G there, usually, with solid 3G,

Has anyone tryed Maps with newer nightlys?. The phone reboots inmediatly as soon as my location appears on the map.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I have the same experience. This also happens with Ingress... but I can use Navigation.

FYI, this doesn't happen on AOKP, but it just doesn't feel the same as CM.
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Yes. I experienced the same issue when I tested a nightly build recently. As such, I reverted back to build 4/20.
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
This is great news. I reported that Ingress was no longer working under CM10.1, but now I know its just a problem with CM10.1.

Can anyone provide a link to either CM10.1 from 4/20 or an AOKP version that works ?

As things stand, I have not been using this phone anymore. This will help a lot !

I still look forward to the new kernel, whenever hash and his friends have time to work on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
I'm looking forward to the new kernel too.

I know maps works on this build, but I did not test Ingress... AOKP 05-20-2013
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Reuploaded. Here is the link for the 4/20 build of CM10.1

http://www.filedropper.com/cm-101-20130420-nightly-solana

Although, I'll confess that I like AOKP more, anyhow, and will be switching over in the near future.
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Thank you for trying to upload that 4/20 build but when I tried to download a copy from FileDropper, it gave me trouble. It turns out that the file there is:

File Details:

Filename: cm-10.1-20130420-NIGHTLY-solana.zip

Size: 0 KB, Type: zip

So maybe the upload failed ?

Ingress DOES work on the AOKP build referenced above, which is nice, but I hope Cyanogenmod 10.1 can get the problem sorted out as well, since it is sort of a bad bug in the build.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ozguitar67:
Well, I did some digging and found a CM 10.1 build from 4/18 ...hopefully that will work for you.

CM 10.1 04-18-2013 Nightly
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
http://www68.zippyshare.com/v/92652727/file.html

Try this. I am pretty sure I got it this time.
[Motorola Droid 3] harryspar:
Oddly, I can't get ANY CM10 rom to boot at all except the 2/26 nightly. The 4/18 and 4/20 just bootloop.

:confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Have you tried wiping the entire ROM Slot 1 and starting from scratch?
[Motorola Droid 3] harryspar:
No, but maybe I should. I was hoping I could just flash it over the existing ROM like other nightlies, but if redoing the slot helps, I'll try it. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] harryspar:
Higgs Boson, thanks for the advice! I finally got AOKP to boot in Slot 2 after wiping and remaking it. It had never worked before.

But then the screen refused to wake anytime the screen went off.

Anyone else get this?
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Sounds like the Sleep of Death (SOD). I still haven't gotten around to checking out AOKP yet, so I'm not sure. But, are you sure the ROM is compatible with slot 2? Just my thoughts.

[Motorola Droid 3] lzy0702:
I suggest to make a new build in these days. For the CM has been no update fo 20 days.
[Motorola Droid 3] gadgetrants:
As the saying goes, "I wouldn't hold my breath."

This is as close to an update as I could find on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/Hashcode0f/status/343025885596766208

That's the OMAP4 and the Razr, which I assume means the D3 is even farther back on the priority list. I'm still hoping for an update on the elusive new kernel, but I have to guess the odds are diminishing.

(Personal note to self: I was browsing some old device threads that I used to visit. One in particular was this one at slatedroid.com for the Viewsonic gTablet -- anyone remember that? After working through the nostalgia what I recognized is that every device hits its EOL, and the lucky ones continue to live on for a bit through a dedicated developer. Case in point: my 2010 Asus Transformer is still kicking and screaming, thanks to Team EOS. Anyway, they -- the devices, not the devs -- all eventually go to a better place...it's just a matter of when, not if. What's important is how the community acknowledges and appreciates the devs for that bit of extra time. Who knows how much longer the D3 really has?)

-Matt
[Motorola Droid 3] nokiabolt:
Honestly, I'm happy with the 20130522 build. It works extremely well.
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
Ok, now the camera works on XT926... i can't figure a thing in all this stuff... is it good for D3? i mean, those are both omap4 devices, right? They shouldn't have some similarities between the kernels? my D3 feels like the outcast kid at the prom, while everyone else is having fun :(
[Motorola Droid 3] nokiabolt:
XT926 uses a Qualcomm. The OG RAZR, Bionic, Droid 3, and Droid 4 use the TI OMAP4
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
Awww, thanks for the heads-up, i got confused with all those XT9001 model number stuff...ok, then it's NO good for D3...or at least, not directly..
[Motorola Droid 3] krasoski:
Does MAPS work? Or it still reboots the phone when you open it?
[Motorola Droid 3] pmafdahl:
Maps reboots my phone also.
[Motorola Droid 3] krasoski:
With 5/22 nightly?
[Motorola Droid 3] pmafdahl:
Yes.
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
Maps and Ingress.

That's why I switched my D3 over to AOKP nightlies. They work.:cyclops:
[Motorola Droid 3] Higgs_Boson:
Maps force closes on PACman, as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
To be honest, I'm almost happy my D3 has died. For almost a month after my D3 died I was still clicking on my D3 android development tab out of habit. Every day I would hope for a JB with camera, or even CM7 100% finished or whatever... I now see some people still waiting and pity you :(.

I now have a Xperia ZL with JB and 2GB ram and oh my it's so fast and smooth compared to D3.

Bootloader is unlockable also.

I guess the guy who many here flamed because of what he said was actually right (October 2012):

Bye
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Of course he was right, but no one wants to hear it. I can't wait to ditch this phone.

There has never been a fully functional cm based rom for d3 on any version of Android.
[Motorola Droid 3] gadgetrants:
Sorry to hear about the dead Droid. I'm also sorry to see you go -- you made a lot of good contributions to the forum.

FWIW I'll never become a dev because I'm very, very, very anal, and I wouldn't go down that road unless I was prepared to:

(a) answer the same questions from eager users over and over again

(b) completely neglect my family, work, personal life and personal well-being

(c) update the changelog any time I even BREATHED on the code,

and most importantly,

(d) provide a reliable, long-term series of announcements about current/planned work.

OK, OK...my list is a little bit exaggerated, but the point I'm trying to make is it always seems to end on this note. :( It's a difficult role to fill, and my feet are definitely not big enough!

-Matt

PS To be 100% clear: reading over my posts I see how preachy they sound and I definitely don't mean them that way. I'm just getting nostalgic and all mushy inside as the D3 chapter closes. Honestly, I have one hand on a credit card, and the other one is trying to decide whether to "buy the S4" or "buy the One." Any of us who has the same phone more than 2 years has gotta be an outlier.
[Motorola Droid 3] lzy0702:
I met a problem. In the stock system, the USB works fine, but in the CM system, it becomes unstable and slow on my XT862.

Anyone else have this problem? How to solve it?
[Motorola Droid 3] harryspar:
My 2 cents:

I know that there are other wonderful devices out there.

I still like my D3, bugs and all.

I like Safestrap.

I like having a smartphone on AT&T without paying them $20 a month for data I don't need because I'm always on WiFi. (AT&T's system has no idea what a XT862 is.)

I like having a nice full keyboard.

If not for Hashcode & friends I would have spent a ton of money I can now use for better things.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] lzy0702:
How is the project? Will developers continue to work on D3?

It seems that Hashcode has finished first-step development of the new kernel. http://t.co/3CsvtC6t1R
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
Development is still going on, just remember its quite a bit of work and it takes time.

That kernel you linked is for the newer Motorola devices like the Razr HD which utilize Snapdragon CPU's so that kernel is not meant for our OMAP phones
[Motorola Droid 3] joefuf:
Instead of scrolling through tens of pages and because it's been four months, I just want to ask directly, has there been any progress with the camera, third-party or not?

Has this issue been addressed at all either? Do people still get a significant battery drain?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
1) No.

2) No idea since I don't have a D3 now.
[Motorola Droid 3] lzy0702:
In the CM10.1 20130522 build, sometimes, when I reboot and the wifi is on, the phone can not turn on wifi after reboot. I need to reboot to safestrap, and using the fix permission function, then reboot to make the wifi available.
[Motorola Droid 3] Adm.Wiggin:
Try using shutdown / cold start instead of reboot and it will probably help, especially with issues like that.
[Motorola Droid 3] lzy0702:
I suggest to make a new CM build to repair Bug 8219321 and CVE-2013-2094, for CM10.1.1 has published and repair these bugs.

[Motorola Droid 3] krasoski:
Any news or updates?.
[Motorola Droid 3] cobravnm13:
Nope. Time to think about getting a new device. Something not locked down.
[Motorola Droid 3] glennj99:
My Droid3 is a very useful device still, particularly unlocked as a World Phone able to take TIM and Wind Sims with no problems.

Hash did a great job and I can afford a camera.

I will never buy another Motorola cell phone, and that includes the Moto X. Sometimes bridges are burned when lies are told.

Love my Nexus4 on T-Mobile, and seriously considering the LTE Nexus7 when it comes out, if not too expensive.

(2) Derp. I've never seen a whole South Park episode either (go figure). By my kids use "derp" all the time...basically means "wow I just did something pretty stupid." :) So a "Fixed derp" must mean "I fixed a stupid error/bug"!
