You don't need to, but it hides network mode (to swap to GSM) so either you're stuck in Global mode (which using GSM wastes battery by having the CDMA radio on) or you have to change it via *#*#INFO#*#* in the dialer. It also hides the system select for CDMA roaming (which if you're using a verizon MVNO, would be good to have to disable roaming).

In general, it'd be best to enable world phone settings to change to GSM/WCDMA only to turn off the CDMA radio. ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I thought that's what the =3 is for. But noticed mine is set to GSM/WCDMA auto.. Guess it should be GSM only?

But it's weird.. If you then uncheck world phone settings, the settings get reset. Also, if you change to GSM only, then go back, and then back into Mobile Network, suddenly "only use 2G networks" is checked - where it wasn't before. If you then go out of the settings, it changes back to GSM/WCDMA auto. I guess WCDMA = UMTS?
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
Even with setting mode to =3 (that ensures it remains there on reboot) it can set itself to global (especially if you reflash the radio like I do when testing). GSM/WCDMA auto is what you want, GSM only would be 2g networks only (GSM/GPRS/EDGE). WCDMA is actually the UMTS/3g network. WCDMA only would make it connect to 3g only (UMTS, HSD(U)PA, HSPA, HSPA+, etc etc).

GSM/WCDMA Auto chooses 2g/3g networks based on the roaming list built into the SIM card (kinda like CDMA PRLs), so this would be your best option, unless you wanted to force either 2g or 3g (depending on network service/signal in your area) Or if you use, say, T-Mobile, which the D3 only supports the 2g band. So forcing GSM/2g would be best here to save battery.

I was trying all these roms from the beginning of Custom JB for D3. But I was unable to post in development threat because of the rules(Not complaining).

Usually, I get error in these roms "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly". Plz fix this.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
this is a known issue and being worked on...please be patient hash and crew develop for many devices not just one.. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Been running cm10 for three week and didn't have any FC..

The only problems that I come across are:

Occasional random reboot (~6 in 3 weeks)

Occasionally phone goes dead and needs battery pull, looks like its off (~2 in 3 weeks)

One time in call; no sound and no mic, was listening to radio (maybe can't switch audiosources properly?)

Wrong battery indication after reboot (happens almost every time)

Buggy rotation with qwertykeyboard opened before wake

Slow video playback (software rendering worse than in GB)

@ key not working, some apps (browser) other keys not working like capslock

Occasional drain or overheating, but most of the time its OK

USB transfer slow

GPS in google navigation (haven't tested myself, but it works in Sygic)

Some developer options don't stick after reboot

Data toggle in dropdown notifications is buggy

Sometimes auto brightness needs re-toggle

[*]I also noticed that using STRICT rom toolbox memory management really helps prevent slowdowns

If these bugs are fixed for me only proximity, HW codecs and camera remain (and bluetooth issues, but never use BT) :good:
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
sdk for android 4.2 was released yesterday..ooohh its nice..

hopefully next build is updated to it
[Motorola Droid 3] deviousmrtaco:
Great job Hash, really appreciate your work, keeping my d3 fresh. I've been running 11/04 AOKP since it came out. I've noticed a few things over the previous Kexec ROMS

1.) Poweramp no longer hangs or crashes randomly like previous ROMS.

2.) Much more free RAM (somewhat due to no more hw codecs, but also do to better memory management)

3.) I think I had 2 hangs and maybe one random reboot, again alot better then before.

4.) Very snapy, dare I say buttery smooth :D

However is it just me or does anyone else get very low signal, around my entire area I get full bars on stock but on CM10 I only get 1-2 bars at max not a problem since data and voice works fine but is there anything I can do to fix it?

Battery life has been much improved for me, but yet again my battery is a year old now so it could be in part that.

Keyboard works great for me and responds 100% of the time, much appreciated.

Thanks again for the hard work Hash, keeps my phone alive and kicking

This is my second post here, been following the threads for a while but just decided to get involved now so i'm sorry if I did anything wrong lol.
[Motorola Droid 3] hilokilo:
About the software encoding...

Try turning off the Hardware Overlays in Development settings. That really makes things smoother. Also, I would recommend running up to 2 processes, that doesn't slow up my phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
In fact it was smoother for me when I disabled the option in dev. settings. (video playback that is).

But it's still not as smooth as in GB (720p MKV)
[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
I am very patient guy when it is about my phone. It was my first post since I have become member of this community.

[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
Can you provide it to me? I always to try it but wasn't able to find working link. Thank you!
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Finally tried SS3 out and I have to say its really great to be able to run CM10 on my Droid 3 while keeping stock for daily use. Performance is just about as good as stock GB, with even more free RAM than GB. Radios work great, inside I get somewhat poor reception and I was still getting about the same -dB signal readings as stock. FM Radio works great using Spirit FM. USB host using my modded Atrix lapdock worked.

I was getting some FCs when making calls, and of course the camera doesn't work, but this thing is nearly daily driver status. I don't do a whole lot of gaming on my phone, or at least nothing intense, so I would rather have this extra free RAM for mulittasking than the 3D/HW performance.
[Motorola Droid 3] battila:
Hey,

I tried the aokp, but sometimes it just hang (the cpu's are on 100% for a while). The cm10 is much better.

Really fast, but the battery is discharging really fast.

Sometimes the phone slows down during task switch. Maybe the data syncing, downloading, ...

I was able to freeze the phone once with the xda premium app (lol).

I flashed the rom this very morning, so more feedback later.
[Motorola Droid 3] lecomiquelin:
with me using xt860, the CM10 jb rom runs well, but has the problem reported in the post, I can not use gsm connection, even with the xt860 patch, or 3G connection, after restarting the phone it tries to connect millions of times and all of them disconnects. about the battery, it appears good, the wifi was normal, and others have also occurred as well, only thing I noticed was that sometimes gives some lags ...
[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
Hey Hash, Thanks for keep developing JB for D3.

I have tried your latest build CM 10.1, It is smooth and better then old ones but I am having network issue.

I am not getting network signal on gsm or 3g services. In old builds you provided gsm signal strength fix option in network settings which help me to use it for daily purpose.

Can you fix this issue & provide patch for it? So again i will be able to make it my daily rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
Currently using CM10.0 because I do not get network signal on CM10.1.

Few Bugs which I found in CM:

1) com.android.phone stops anytime and freeze my phone.

2) Google Search Do not work after update, It always crashes.

3) Play Store isn't working smoothly.

4) CM 10.1 have GSM signal problem.

5) USSD Codes not working.

Known bugs ( Which everybody knows)-

1) Bluetooth

2) No camera.

3) Cannot play video.

Edit: I tried to add AOKP toggles ( On/Off Toggles) in CM10.1 but when I installed it, it did not boot properly went to restart loop. Can someone tell me how to add it?
[Motorola Droid 3] Own Demon:
Yes JB is working good even when it is alpha stage. :)

I could use newer version in my daily use, if I can get some signals on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Kelex24:
I have been using the 4.0.3 Hash D3 rom, and everything on there has been running great.

After switching to this ROM, the only thing I am really missing is the camera, but I know that is a work in progress. I have noticed that the performance is not very good at first, but I think the Play Store was restoring all the apps and settings. Does anyone know what CPU setting I should use on a daily basis? On-Demand seems to never clock the CPU up when needed, especially after coming out from sleep.

I also just want to say thanks for a great rom and your continued work on the D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
How would you know that?
[Motorola Droid 3] jarveson:
For performance, use performance, it just keeps the CPU's at max though, and might cost you some battery.

I use hotplug, performance seems fine for me personally, and its the only governor that turns off the second core when not in use currently, so gives the most battery until idle issues are fixed.

If idle issues are fixed, it might make interactive governor not be buggy (maybe) which is the recommended one for ics/jb (i think)
[Motorola Droid 3] Thiago AmP:
It seems that even with recent modifications, user's of the XT860 still can't connect to 3g.

When I tested the latest Hashcode CM9/CM10/CM10.1 Kexec builds, I found that the dock sensor did not work -- it appeared that my phone was unable to detect when docked, and the cameras did not work. These may be known bugs with the kexec builds, but I do not see them on the bug list...

That said, I was unable to get *wireless* working with the non-kexec cm9 I found, but the other two worked...

These roms are amazing, and I am looking forward to trying out some new things -- I am looking at setting up an automated build system for solana non-kexec nightlies.

After Sleep - Screen stays black

I searched the thread for "black screen" and didn't get any hits on this, so I'll post the problem I'm getting.

I've recently installed the 01/23 build of solana, and for the most part it all appears to work well. The one issue I'm seeing is that when I tried to wake up my phone by pushing the power button, the home row buttons light up, but the screen doesn't. It stays black.

Has anyone else observed this or seen a fix?

--McBean
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It's just CPU lag because it's doing other stuff. Try using ROM Toolbox and setting the governor to performance and see if that helps.
[Motorola Droid 3] McBeanTIO:
OK. I'll give that a whirl. I read through the other 9 pages of posts and finally saw someone else had commented on their phone "acting dead". Same issue.

So if anyone is looking for how to fix a black screen/dead phone type issue - check MrObvious's post.

I'll give ROM Toolbox a try and see how it goes.

I believe dock is broken, its becuase Javersons lib sensors weren't merged into the more recent builds yet

[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
It's in rom toolbox under memory manager.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:

ROM Toolbox and Autokiller are a much better way to edit these, though. ;)

Seems my internal SD card is not accessible either. Need to go back and read the fine print if I missed something on how to properly mount my SD card. Tried taking some screen shots, and got errors back that it couldn't store the file.

I can't "Mount SD Card" under the storage settings, but I can navigate with File Manager to my heart's content. I looked through SS3 and didn't see any settings out of whack either.

Hi!

I´m new at Cyanogen Mod. I flashed my phone several times with GB roms but it´s my first time with cyanogen.

I´m from Argentina, I have a XT860 from Personal. I´ve installed the rom correctly, also the gsm fix (I have signal, I can call and recieve also send sms). I been following the thread so I know the issues of this beta version (camera, HD codecs, etc).

My problem is that I can´t import/sincronize contacts from google account. It could be a problem of ignorance from me or a bug. ¿help please?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Just to ask the question, did you also flash google apps after flashing the ROM? I assume so, if you have access to the play store, but the Cyanogen ROM zips almost always require a secondary flash of google apps, to get Google account access, the play store, etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
generally the fix to not being able to sync is

menu>system settings>wireless networksr>mobile networks>data delivery

check 'data enabled'

but that usually effects texts also

you were able to sign in and add your google account?

You need to find a package called 'gapps-something.zip' and install it the same way you did your new ROM. This installs all the google applications, like Google Play, and Gmail, etc.

Question on the camera...

What's the particular hang up on the camera? Just curious if any of the work the folks in the HP TouchPad section have done would be of use. Apparently they had to build the driver from the ground up. Didn't know if that would be of assistance, or if the camera has a known fix that just needs to be developed?

To be clear, I'm not asking for any ETA; just trying to get a better understanding of why it is hosed, and if anyone other than Hash has traction on getting it working.

cm10.1 2/26 ROM on droid 3 XT862 in Europe

Until yesterday, I was using Hash's build cm-10.1-20130123-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. It worked fine enough on my XT862, except I wasn't getting any data (voice & sms were fine). This is with Orange France.

After some fiddling with the build.prop (setting both persist.sys.moto_oem_telephony and persist.sys.moto_imsi_fix to false), I managed to get a data connection.

Today, I flashed cm-10.1-20130226-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip, and there is no need to change anything in build.prop anymore : I get data/voice/sms working without any further manual intervention.

Basically the only thing that's not functional right now (besides known problems like the camera thing) is the GSM signal (it sticks to the left, no matter what the actual signal strength is).

So, thanks a *lot* to Hash for his hard work on this ROM :)

[Motorola Droid 3] Befour07:
I should also have mentioned that the battery life is *significantly* better with cm-10.1-20130226 than it was with cm-10.1-20130123; that alone is a good reason to upgrade...

Added that to my build.prop, and now my phone bootloops... Since this simple change can't possibly be the cause of the bootlooping, I restored the stock build.prop that came from Hash's latest cm10.1 ROM, through adb, and rebooted again : same thing.

I realized I had not rebooted once since I flashed that new ROM, so something else is definitely off :( I will try re-flashing from scratch, attempting a reboot after it comes up once, and *then* I'll try again adding that new property to my build.prod.

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

So, flashing cm10.1-20130226 after a full wipe makes my device bootloop :(

The only difference is that this morning I got lazy and didn't wipe anything before flashing that new ROM (basically I flashed it over the previous 20130123).

I'm now restoring the backup I made this morning, and will try your build.prop edit on that, since 20130226 doesn't seem to be too stable afer all, at least on my device ;)

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

All right, so your setting works fine for getting an actual signal strength on 20130123. I guess I'll stick to that for now,and wait for Hash's next ROM ;)

Thanks a lot MrObvious !
