on the other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172981 it is discussed what works in Europe - I am in Czech republic where we have 900/1800, which is different from negri specs, where they say 850/1900 - is it going to work?
I am not an expert on this. I have the XT860 Bell version

why did you go for 862 instead of 860? Supposedly 860 should be better...

1) XT862 is cheaper and has better 'support'
2) XT860 bell has only recently been available at negrielectronics, the OEM version is still not available.

what exactly do you mean by "better support"? rooting etc. should work on all of them, as discussed elsewhere...or is it not so?

Well... ROMs? I don't know whether droid 3 ROMs will work on the XT860. (Does steeldroid work on XT860?)
Yes Bell's version is close to OEM, however it's more expensive. Also, you will probably receive motorola updates faster on the OEM version.
yeap, the reasons are the ones mentioned by DoubleYouPee.
but until a CUSTOM ROM appears, the Verizon programs are there to annoy me ))
and some minor advertising appears when opening email for the first time...nothing very disturbing.
well...strange is that if you select GLOBAL mode in the phone, the phone does not find network (or mine did not find, for the first couple of minutes), but if you select GSM/UMTS, the phones works perfect.
Hello
Im from Poland so we are practically neighbors ;D
I bought my D3 from this seller
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130563324545?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
nick - inroy2000
Good contact, fast delivery, Droid3 i got unlocked, in box with phone i found
notice with unlocking codes aslo.
So I did not have to spend extra money on phone unlocking codes or purchase
To phone price you must add ~48usd for delivery and ~tax (here in Poland tax was 75 eur)
best regards
Thanks guys for all the info.
Please, correctme, if I am wrong with this:
XT860 could be rooted via psouza tools
then I can freeze motoblur apps (unless somebody changs the script to work for bell I will have to do it one by one manually)
then I am fine

That is correct if you mean Bell apps. I have not done extensive freezing so far, so I am not sure yet what exactly you can freeze and what not.
We are stuck with Motoblur unless the bootloader gets unlocked one way or another.
EDIT:
Sorry, I misunderstood that.
Yes you are probably right

Do you have the Camera blue-tint bug? On my Droid 3 this bug was fixed, but on the XT860?
Thanks for a quick reply.

from other posts I understood that fixing this is just a matter of some settings in text configuration files, so this should be possible to fix on XT860 as well - or am I wrong?
I don't know, maybe someone can answer this.
Ok, I am not sure but I own a Droid 3 and use it in Germany. The signal quality is definitely not as good as it has been on my Milestone 2.
Do both XT860 and Droid 3 use exactly the same Hardware GSM Module? I believe I saw somewhere that the XT860 has 14.4 mbits and Droid 3 "only" 10.2 mbits.
What do you think?

[Q] Apps safe to freeze?

I've been looking now for the past hour for a list of apps on our 4.4.2 Moto X that are safe to freeze. Me not finding the list tells me that it's probably right under my nose in a sticky or something but for the life of me I am not seeing it. I realize I am probably blind, but if somebody can link me to the thread (if there is one), I would greatly appreciate it.

You can use the full screen incoming call screen option from Gravitybox, it looks same like the picture on the left I think.

You NEVER flash anything made for other devices. Good way to destroy your phone.

Course I'm Indian.
Rooting has nothing to do with overheat, we have a great dev like Paul, thus a great kernel like Faux. In fact if there's a problem with stock kernel then rooting should fix it.
Besides, this is one of the coldest phone I've used, absolutely no overheat, I actually use Performance governor, and sometimes I even play some games while the phone's being charged, still the heat is absolutely moderate. When I'm with standard Interactive governor the phone stays cold as hell. That's why I always find it surprising when people say X is overheating!
So then I'll root my device as you said...can you give me the root process and roms kernels you use.......

Unlocking your bootloader and rooting an unlocked phone are in this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358
Most stay with stock rom, but there are stock based roms as well as aosp in the development sections. Kernels too. Just be sure whatever you think of flashing are for your device. ?
Yeah that guide is more than enough, however I unlocked the bootloader and rooted mine by just seeing this video thoroughly, as I had no idea about ADB before rooting that guide was not making any sense to me, I mean those commands

any news on root?

Hey guys. Anyone have any updates on how close we are to getting root access yet? Will happily donate to who ever is doing it for there hard work ?
I hope someone will do... I'll never buy this phone until I'm sure I can root it..

Almost certain we will get root eventually, just no idea when or if there trying yet.
I'm from Europe, but I would like the snapdragon version...
As I read here, the snap version could be difficult to un-lock. I hope not..
Exynos all the way s10e

+ Radio FM, better cpu temp, more battery autonomy, Gcam porting, MAYBE dual frequency GNSS...
Dont see any dual frequency in my findings.

You cannot root the snapdragon variant phones. Sorry, I take that back. You can root them but it breaks Knox, Samsung Pay, and a bunch of other stuff. It trips some sort of fuse.

Isn't that the same as exynos? None of that works and knox is tripped when rooted in exynos too.

Buy the Razer Phone 2. Right now it's cheaper than any of its competition and it has root. The Galaxy S10 is a pretty good phone now that I've had an opportunity to use it for games that won't run on rooted and unlocked devices (like Fate/GO)
Someone already got TWRP to boot on Exynos S10, this phone is too popular to not get root(Exynos bootloader unlocked models). It is a matter of time, I'd say within next few weeks one of the smart devs here will have root and within a month or two Magisk support as well.

I haven't tried because I haven't received my phone yet... And I'm waiting for an S10+, not S10. But it looks like the steps would be exactly the same. HELL YEAH! I was hoping really bad people would be working on the Chinese SD version! I wanna know if someone has tried it, too!

The dev behind Magisk got an S10 already so I'd guess it shouldn't be long for Magisk to support the phones. And if TWRP is already sort of available I'd imagine we'll have root im worse case scenario at the end of April.

Thanks I'll check it out. I've been rooting androids since the OG nexus but it's been a few years. I even built a few ROMs and themes back in the day. I loved flashing the newest and best ROMs but all my breeding of crested geckos, isopods, giant millipedes and roaches take up to much time now.
