New Droid 3 Update (Version 5.6.890) Rolling Out Now; Google Talk With Video & More

do you know if you have to be stock and unrooted? in order for this to work? i tried it last night and it failed after rebooting to the software install page (page with the box and the android guy) it just went away and than booted up all the way and said that the upgrade failed.

Thanks.

 

Thanks for the heads-up! REALLY looking forward to better battery life

 

I was able to download the new Ota with root and keptroot after the update

 

Weird...I've had mine for 2 weeks, and had Google Talk with video for at least 1 of those 2 weeks. Could mine have shipped with the update? (It's not rooted yet, btw). I can say for sure I never woke up to find it announcing an update. I'm pretty sure one didn't get installed while I've had it.

Oh, I checked and yep the version number is 5.6.890. FWIW it's worth I get AMAZING battery life. Some days I go home and still have 80% left.

Doesn't fix...

This "update" doesn't fix the camcorder. Rack focus still occurs, flickering is WORSE then before. At any brightness level. Moto NOW has it on their radar but it may have been "deferred" to a later update. Pretty lame tbh.

Yes, I've seen one or more other people saying that some new phones already have the update on them.

 

I was able to update just fine with a rooted, stocke rom D3. The update did bnreak my root however. Going to re-root shortly.

 

The droid 3 is already global

Sent from my Droid 3 directly to YOU!

 

Thats confusing since the Droid3 is already a global phone...... :blink:

 

You are a BIG, FAT TEASE!!! Yeah, sure, just leave us in double-suspense.

So hey I'm almost 14 days into my Radio Shack 30-day return period. Can you at least PM me the thing, and I'll SWEAR not to share it???
