OTA is out!

[DeadDroid3]

I believe the fix for swype was as mentioned and then clearing the app data in manage applications.

Yes. I told the guy who posted to make a new thread. Fixed me right up.

found it

I know it's probably on here somewhere but i'm having the hardest time finding it. I just got the ota update, I already unfroze all the bloatware, and I want to know if I should unroot before the install. I read somewhere that you don't need to unroot, but I wasn't sure if that was for the leaked update only.

Nvm, I found it.

Has anyone else have any reboots after update?

My phone does seem faster now than before. I have not added any launcher to this phone.

Your keys on your hard keyboard shouldn't get "stuck" anymore and when you open Google Talk you should have a camera next to your instead of a green dot.

You should be able to find a complete changelog with Google Search.

I wouldn't be so sure about your keys not getting "stuck" on your keyboard anymore. Mine seemed to go away but ended up coming back

I'm new to the Android world so I'm not entirely sure how this stuff usually works. I'm reading that the newest version for the Droid 3 just became available in the last day or two - and indeed, my wife's phone just offered to update today. I bought two Droid 3's two and a half weeks ago (received them on 9/12); one of them (my wife's) came with 5.5.959, but the other (mine) shipped with 5.6.890. I'm a little surprised that mine shipped with 890, but what do you guys think?

will the 1 click root work on the new update?

In a word, yes. My Droid 3 shipped with 5.6.890 and I had already rooted it using Pete's Motorola Root Tools. I also just applied the OTA to my wife's phone (which shipped with 5.5.959), and re-rooted it with the same tool kit. No problems at all, couldn't be simpler.

Has anyone extracted the .zip update file?

Just got my OTA and the video chat is awesome! Fixed the swype Spanish issue.
Weird thing happened though, when my phone first rebooted after OTA download, it made a strange sound while turned off for about 60 seconds.For a minute there I thought my D3 was bricked LOL.

Blue tint in camera is gone now thank God.

Same here with the weird sound. I can't find the voice chat.

You mean "video" chat, right? Google Talk has the video chat. It uses your front facing camera by default, and if you tap the image of your video it will switch to the main 1080P camera.

My buddy tested it with me using his tablet computer and was VERY JEALOUS that his camera can't do this (he's with T-Mobile LOL).

Hello,
I lost root after applying the OTA update on my Verizon Droid 3. The only error I get is "link failed File exists" from the below code. When I go into terminal and do a "su", I get permission denied. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

adb shell ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
