[Q] General feedback from someone with a Droid 3.

I've been drooling over the Motorola Droid 3 for months now - then it arrived. I seen it got some mixed reviews - mostly because they say that "It's not THAT much difference from Droid 2...besides, Droid Bionic is coming out soon!!"
Well, for me, it is important with a physical QWERTY that works great, currently I have a x10 mini pro, which is crap.
Anyway, I basically want: Great physical QWERTY, and good specs. The 512RAM on Droid 3 concerns me abit..is it sufficient? Most phones now come with 1GBRAM.
But anyway, can some of you who own a Droid 3 tell me abit about your experience with it, and perhaps say something about what you used to have before you got it, if you are happy with it or if you wish you had waited for something better? Oh, and does anyone know if there are any Droid3-likes that have better specs?
Thanks in advance! =)

There's a topic about this..i think it's called do you still like your droid 3?
Look there. Anyway, i absolutely love the qwerty. 512mb ram hasn't bothered me yet. Screen isn't the best out there but good enough for me

D3 has a good keyboard, and a decent audio, end of the advantages.
Is nice to have it if you like to flash roms and you like to try to overcome is defects.
Other than that it's the usual Motorola. Poor sw, poor battery life, poor performances on GSM networks.
If you want a problem free phone get a Desire Z, or keep the x10 mini pro which is a nice phone too, although the battery is not in line with the SE tradition

Oh ye you'll find that The Solutor (while contributing a lot to this community) will be one of the few who's really negative ^^
I don't think the battery life is bad. I do 16 hours on normal usage which is enough for me. Most smartphones need a recharge at night.
For example even if my droid 3 would last 20 hours, I would still need to charge it over night or I'll have a dead phone the next day.
Yes the FW isn't great, but the default motorola apps contribute to this problem. Use good 3rdparty apps/roms I think the phone is fast enough

Motorola has a good support forum you should check out:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/google-android/droid3
I had the Original Droid (Motorola), the Droid X and now this phone. I didn't want an LTE phone because of the connection problems and battery life. Even the people I know with a Bionic have these problems.
I have been switching between my DX and D3 recently. I did a factory reset on the D3 yesterday and that seems to help. I really want to like the phone, if it had a bigger screen - like the Bionic with a keyboard, the hardware would be perfect. The keyboard is very good.
The problem is the phone needs another update. It is slower than my single core DX, much slower when both phones are side by side. After the factory reset it is better, but still slower. I find it isn't nearly as loud, the earpiece speaker for calls and the sounds aren't as loud as my DX. I work in noisy environments so this is pretty important for me; its works for me but barely.
The battery life is erratic. Occasionally I won't recharge at night, my battery will be at 70% by morning with no usage for 14 hours. Other times, I'm down to 30% in the same time.
Camera has problems but that isn't a big deal for me.
If I was looking for a new phone, keyboard is important for me, so this is really the only game in town. I'd probably get it and hope Motorola works out the kinks. Samsung just came out with a slider but I wasn't happy with a Galaxy phone I was trying before my DX.

I would suggest you try to install another ROM or use Autokiller and use the Strict preset. I am running Steel Droid now and using Autokiller on strict and so far my battery life has been consistant. I also froze a couple apps like Backup Assistant that weren't doing me any good. This phone actually can run pretty good once you get away from the stock software and get it more in a natural Android environment.

You shouldn't killers on android..

Not a task killer, it just tweaks Android's default killing and makes it more strict.

Root and the 5.6.890 update (or now current i suppose) is the main thing i recommend to improve battery life. After flashing ROMs my battery life hasn't really changed. Of course it's going to depend on your usage but my primary use for my phone is tweeting and texting, some web browsing/tapatalk/games, rarely gps...take my phone off the charger at 100% around 7am and i will go to bed at midnight with 40%. I use Juice Defender only to automatically enable wifi when i'm at home and disable when i leave. If I had (open) wifi available at work, i'd probably be able to go 2 days on a charge.
As for the phone, get it. The only people I see having serious issues are the ones overseas who haven't gotten an update for their version of the d3 yet. it's the best phone i've owned. no bootloops, freezes, random restarts or anything like that for me, which is great coming from a Touch Pro2.

Hi guys, if you use nexus 4, I think you will be probably disappointed by the battery life of nexus 4. Things seems to changed this year.
Here's what Google says about nexus 5's battery life

It seems pretty good compare with nexus 4, based on the way how Google test the device and the result.
I can't wait to receive my new nexus 5 :laugh:
How you guys think? Are you satisfy with the battery life?
update:
according http://www.android.com/versions/kit-kat-4-4/ said, the nexus 5 maudio playback can up to 60 hrs, witch is really incredible!!!

did you notice by any chance that battery test has been don on airplane/no sim with wifi on?
Any cellural reception has significant impact on battery life therefore it is most likley goi9ng to be the same or worse due to size of the screen vs battery capacity

The same here. the specs even look better than iphone, lol

I think it might have something to do with the optimized OS. The phone can run the OS with a minimum of 512mb of the RAM. I was pretty disappointed with the Nexus 4 battery life but it was better than the Galaxy Nexus for sure.

Anyone know if the Nexus 5 also has G-RAM that's in the LG G2? supposedly helps improve battery life of display by about 20% if it's displaying static pages.

Hey guys, just joining the discussion for the upcoming news about the battery from all of you.
Personally, I am going to wait for a while until the typical problems of a "newborn phone" get solved.... IF THERE IS FOUND ANY, which I hope not. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I hope the battery life isn't too bad. I decided to skip getting the LG G2 and instead ordered the N5.

How do you think the battery life compares to the GS4?

Let's hope
Battery life shouldn't be that bad at all i suppose. From years now we are used to charge our phones one per day at least...this won't change for the n5. That said, i think this is a big failure of modern smartphones. Lg is tring to make a change, and it's a point to his favour i think.

Failure of a smartphone? What makes you say that? The software that is debuting with the phone is a huge push forward in mobile communications, that's at least a little win.

The thing that will probably greatly help the N5's battery life is that it's the Snapdragon 800... which has the same "bonus core" that the G2, Moto X, and other devices have that allows very little battery usage while the phone is asleep, while still being able to do stuff like play music.

whoops! My derp there. In that case yea, I'll agree. Google should have but in a bigger battery, but alas I think they're really trying to stick with the philosophy of it being a developer's phone and less of a general consumer's phone.
That said the battery thing is the only thing stopping me from placing my order this very second...

I mean a failure of a generation of phones. Before the advent of smartphones the recharge of a phone came, how much a week? Three times? Even twice on some phones. That said, we had a great progression on software and hardware, with a clear loss in term of duration per single charge.
The advancement in hardware and software were not matched by the advancement in battery tecnology.
Someone said that you can build the best car at all, but you will need good wheels to make it run faster..Or in our case, to make it "run" xD

Got to admit, I'm a little dissapointed they didn't throw a USB 3.0 port on this beast for multi-charge bonuses :/

Amazing Google designed 4.4 to run on devices with as low as 512mb of Ram but they are not updating the Galaxy Nexus to 4.4.

It's not because of the RAM, it's because of the processor. The manufacturer stopped supporting it.

A ROM to make the HTC One behave like the Evo 3D?

Hey Guys,
So I have been using the one for about 4 months now and battery has not been up to my exceptions...
I know, this thing has a quad and pushing more pixels but it has a 25% bigger battery too (1730 vs 2300). What I want to know is if there is a Rom that'll turn this phone into a 1.2GHZ DUAL core, thats right, just literally chop off 2 cores at ALL times to boost battery?
Haven't rooted the phone yet but this battery situation is wanting me to do that.
This is from experience but HTC EVO 3D got 18 hours after good amount of use and almost two years of battery use (rooted with a good kernel) vs HTC One with 10 hours with "fresh" battery (stock).
Thanks

Why would you want that??
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CXKF42O
That will fix the battery issue if you don't mind it being bulky

Yeah, why cripple the phone when you could cripply your wallet AND the aesthetic of the phone!? Haha.
All seriousness, what kind of battery life are you getting?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Would need kernel source to make a custom kernel to shut down 2 of the cores
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Root the One before trying to shut down cores. I had the 3D and this phone has much better battery. 10 hours is like 25% with decent use on the One. Something not right off that is what you are getting.
Sent from THE ONE using xda premium

Use cdma only in your mobile settings, This phone gets way better battery life than the 3d
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Just underclock to 1.1 ghz

The cores support hotplugging. They are off if not being used. If they are being used, then they are being used to do something that will finish faster with more than two cores, in which case having two cores would give you less battery.
What you want is similar to people who want like 56mhz low power states. It consumes the same or more battery. If the phone could get literally free battery at the cost of just disabling two cores permanent...don't you think they would do that?

So if what your saying it right, then why haven't phones increased DRAMATICALLY in battery life with these humongous batteries?
I will root the phone as soon as KitKat ROMs are released.

I've had the Evo 3d and i don't see how you got better battery on that thing. Don't bother with turning off cores, it won't help cause the other core will just be working harder. if you really want to try to save battery, underclock or use the power saver mode with "limit cpu" option. Either way, the biggest use of battery on this phone is not the processor, it's the screen.

Yeah I also had a 3d for a long damn time and I have no idea how you're getting worse battery life. My one gets around 3 hours screen on time. Lucky if I got an hour and a half with the 3d

im with the others i have no idea how with the same use the 3d is lasting longer than the one, i use to have to charge my 3d by 1pm cause it was dead, the one can go all day and still have 15-25% when i got to bed.

Will definitely be rooting as soon as a good KitKat ROM shows up, what is SWG?
To give people a reference to the awesome EVO 3D battery I had, one night (8 hrs no use) I lost only 3% battery! Compared to the HTC ONE I have lost 46% on standby over time
So obviously my next question is about screen res, any options to decrease screen res in certain ROMs or kernels?

You must have a rouge app or something. I recommend either finding what it is or doing a factory reset. The screen takes a lot of battery, but not that much. Also screen doesn't matter in stand by time.
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 4

I agree. You need to see why yours is not sleeping well. Just as an example, I didn't use my phone for 9 hours while at work today, and my battery was at 91% when I got out. It seems as if yours isn't going into deep sleep when your not using it.
Also, I don't believe the display drain has to do with the res but more the screen backlight brightness setting. I have noticed that if I turn down the backlight when I can, it saves a little on the battery also. I've also noticed on mine that the WiFi being turned on is a big battery drain. I have my WiFi "sleep" during long periods of inactivity.
Good luck, YMMV
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I see what you guys are saying. Let me factory reset the phone first, since rooting is such a pain these days. I will report back.
I might have a battery issue, so rooting can be problematic if I wanted a warranty repair.

I decreased my screen resolution and my battery life is amazing

My 3D had about the worse battery life of any phone I've had to be honest... If your One is getting worse than the 3D you likely have something set up wrong or poorly that is draining it.... Check your wakelock times on apps.

HTC M9 disassembled

After one week?
Well it's been 1 week now, and boy it's been great so far. Day 1 - set up. Day 2 - unlocked - rooted. Day 3 - wishing for s-off and Xposed. I kept my M8 as my phone while I was preparing my M9. Days 4 thru 7 - putting it through some strenuous testing.
I have almost 400 apps installed with many running in the background all the time. The M9 breezes through all of my apps with little hesitation. My M8 did well with all of my apps, but the M9 just seems to pop through them a split second faster.
I'm not a fan of benchmark tests; I believe they are flawed. You run a test, and then run one 5 mins later, and get 2 completely different results. Plus the tests seem to favor certain brands over others, as well as different architectures. I prefer real world testing. How a device performs using it daily in a real life enviroment.
That being said I did do some benchmark tests. My M9 performed incredibly well with both AnTuTu and Velamo. With Velamo the Metal score was 2302, Multicore 1981, and Chrome Browser 3516. All very good scores. With AnTuTu my score was 54728. Also very good, but these are subjective. I am fairly new to the Android phone modding world, but I have been building custom computers for 20 years. Android phones are just a computer, and as it is with all computers performance will vary depending on applications installed, and many other elements including environmental conditions.
Getting to the quality of the M9. HTC has created another masterpiece. In the tradition of the M7 and M8 the build quality is superb. it's easy to tell that you're holding a well built piece of equipment.
It looks and feels very much like the M8: however, with some nice subtle differences. The power button is now on the side, but it should have been placed above the volume buttons in my opinion.
Well that's all for now. I have to get some sleep, but I will try to update this in another week.

I'm not sure how well it will be under normal use. It appears to be about the same as my M8 was while extreme power using. I'll know more about normal use battery life after I've calmed down a bit. Also I plan on tweaking the battery performance after I can figure out how to decompile the SystemUI apk. I'm getting about 8 hours the way I'm using it now.

That would be the way to solve the problem, but I'm sure that most people use their phones in a way that the batteries the manufacturers put in them are sufficient. Look at Samsung reducing the size of their flagships battery. I don't think they will try to accommodate us power users anytime soon.

Problem is that if you have a bad launch then you stay in that area as far as the market is predicted.. The camera is superb now., But No one will give it a chance since the reviews of the m9 has past .

Well it's been 1 week now, and boy it's been great so far. Day 1 - set up. Day 2 - unlocked - rooted. Day 3 - wishing for s-off and Xposed.
sorry if I sound noob but I would like to know how did you unlock the bootloader?. I check htc dev website everyday but there has been no update at all.

There are many guides out there. I don't know why you couldn't find any, but here's a link to one. Follow everything closely. Make sure that you back up your phone via the HTC option in settings, because you will lose all of your data.
Good luck.

I wouldn't mind if it were a tad larger (I loved the One max and my Moto X Pure) but I do consider this phone to be near perfection.

I don't know how to explain it, I don't necessarily want it to be larger per se, but I maybe they way HTC designed the phone around the screen. My Nextbit Robin is said to have a 5.2" screen as well, but it's easier to type on my Nextbit Robin than my HTC 10. I think I like the look of the HTC 10 curved/chamfered edges, but I feel like the curviness of the phone makes it harder to type. I don't know if that makes sense, but yeah... Something about it makes it harder or not feel as great in hand to type and what not.

I think overall I love the HTC 10 though. I love the HTC Boom Sound and Dolby Audio, USB-C, Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 (though I see many phones with this technology get and claim 0-50% in 30 minutes than 0-80% in 35 minutes like Qualcomm originally promised, which honestly is slower than Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 which I think claimed 0-60% in 30 minutes), the camera, clean and simple user-experience, micro sd card slot (w/ Adoptable storage), and Wi-Fi calling directly out-the-box.

I find that my 10 charges faster than my QC 2.0 phones with a smaller battery. Have you tried comparing yourself?

Yes, and no. I charge my Nextbit Robin & HTC 10 everyday, but haven't necessarily paid attention to which one is faster. But from what I can gather, it's not any faster. But I'd have to test it out.
However, I have paid attention to the speeds from 0% on up, and the HTC 10 does 0-30% in 35 minutes. Though that is what HTC claimed, I was looking forward to Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 and Qualcomm's claim of 0-80% in 35 minutes. So to me, it just defeated the whole purpose. @richii0207

I am extremely happy with the phone. Got it June 30th and still learning. I have been able to get some great pictures and videos of my new puppy. A GSD/Husky. I use it almost every day for texting. Didn't do much before, but reasons did not present themselves. Now it is mostly with my dog walking partners. I am totally amazed at how long the battery lasts -and- how quick it charges. This is only my 2nd Smartphone so all I have to compare it to is my almost 5 yr old ReZound.

HTC 10? More like HTC 10/10)

Qualcomm never said that the 10 charged that fast, or any phone in particular for that matter. As you can imagine, a phone with 3000mah charges significantly faster than a phone with 5000 mah and a phone that is streaming while charging will charge slower than an idle phone. As Qualcomm and HTCs word for the 10, it charges up to 50% in just 30 minutes.

Best HTC device ever

just switched from iphone to htc!

In my opinion the HTC 10 is one of the best phone HTC has produced since the One M7, i skipped the One M9, which was terrible, im using HTC phones since the G1(or HTC Dream), i always loved HTC phones, they are just different, something special, like me haha.
I love my HTC 10, especially in that black color, its just perfect. I wouldn't mind if the screen was a tad bigger, like 5.5inch, but its OK as it is.
So i think that the 10 is really underrated, i think it's because HTC gain a bad reputation since the disappointing M9, and steep prices of their phones, which is true in my opinion, as you can get a flagship phone like OnePlus 3, in half the price.
HTC 10 is the best, love it. :good:

I'd write a long reviews but when I hit submit, the lovely xda forum say that need to be logged to submit a reviews, and reset the form. I love you random programmer guy!
Anyway, long story short, I love my htc, I resisted a lot of drops, and is working like the first day. I just miss the sony flashtool from my z2, being able to install updates without wipe (since my phones are rooted and android 6 wont install updates on modified system partition's phones).

I won't be going back to Samsung any time soon. For me the 10 is the perfect size and the build quality is excellent. I paid cash up front for a US unlocked directly from HTC US. It came with no bloatware and was easy to root and install a custom rom. Best phone I have ever had.
I ran custom roms on Samsung devices for years, but there always seemed to be something that didn't work. I would get a phone call and the screen would go black, or WiFi would keep dropping, it was always something. I haven't had any of those problems with the 10 on Sense-based custom roms.

HTC 10 deserves 10 out of 10. I got mine straight from HTC (unlocked) and converted to work on Verizon ( we have some really good devs like Santod, LeeDroid and MANY other who make this a dream device for a flashaholic like me). Camera is good, battery life is very good ( I get about 5 hours of screen on time) sound is very good for sure I can't recall a thing I don't like about this phone to be honest.

Screen could have been better as well as internal storage could have been 64Gb default.

HTC's own apps ruin this phone. They substituted their good apps (Gallery and Music) with Google's and left the obscure garbage apps.

Thrillingly beautiful, breathtaking performance!! I wouldn't mind buying another HTC 10 if i needed it.

The speakers are fantastic, it charges really quickly and it looks amazing. Only slight complaint would be the camera, it's not bad but coming from a Note 7 the difference is noticeable. Overall 9.5/10.

It's a great phone and am happy to be back to owning an HTC phone.
