Here's something I've never seen before, I'm getting a message while trying to sign in: "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
EDIT: I did find a way to bypass it. I bypassed the sign in and dialed up *228 option 2 to update roaming capability, etc. Came back, signed in, good to go. So...yeah.

Yankee, I've lost 3G many times when flashing a new ROM and not being able to sign into my Google account (I assume this is what happened to you). Usually just a reboot brings it back.

Yeah, that's what I think it was, but it's never happened to me before. Found it kinda strange. But there's def some quirks to this ROM that I've gotta try to iron out. Will let everyone know my opinion.
Had a problem with bluetooth today. I connected to bluetooth an talked for an hour or so on a couple different calls, when it stopped working. I was connected to the phone, an i could hear sounds as i pressed buttons dialing, but once the call started ringing, the sound went silent. I could not hear them or they hear me. I rebooted an reconnected the bluetooth, and the problem went away.

None of those problems here. Flashed it right over top CM7 RC2. Feels very similar. Go figure...
That's what everyone has been telling me since the first GB Alphas were released. "No problems here!" So, I'm starting to think that either my phone must hate me or I just happen to have the worst luck EVER!!!!!!
I just wish I could figure it out. I love this phone because of how open it is. It doesn't have a locked bootloader and can handle everything I throw at it (up until GB at least).
Eh, I don't think my Droid likes this ROM. For some reason, every once in a while, I'll hit the home key and it'll take me to Launcher instead of LauncherPro (which is what it's set for). Sometimes hitting home again brings it up, other times I have to use HomeSmack. And everytime this happens, I have to reload all my widgets again.
Also, it seems like the touch is a bit laggy. If I'm scrolling, it tends to be hypersensitive. If I'm trying to say launch an app or click a link, I need to do it two or three times.
Also, my Weather Widget Donate seems to be very hit or miss with this.
The ROM is quite fluid and smooth, and the battery life appears to be decent, but there's just too many quirks here for me to enjoy.

I'm not saying this is advisable, but I replaced the LatinIME.apk (in /system/app) with the one from UD 3.0.1 and it appears to work fine - including the dictionary. I used ES File Explorer (in root mode) to do this.
I'm guessing that the lack of dictionaries is single biggest contributor to the claimed "10MB gain in system space for D1 and others".
EDIT: According to this thread, there's an interim fix here.

With my Google / Exchange / Facebook / Twitter syncing habits, it seems I just can't be happy with a Gingerbread ROM. Random portions of the phone decide to sync intermittently, and I suspect it's just the phone running out of RAM and things being shut down, even with maxed compcache.
Sucks though, cause otherwise UD and CM7 have been absolutely *sweet.* I'm pretty sure if this thing had 512MB of memory instead of 256MB, I'd have been good to go any any of these ROMs pretty much indefinitely.

Ud 3.1.1
From BD's facebook page:
"Also decided to release last nights nightly as an official build for all phones as well. UD 3.1.1. Has a few small fixes an can be flashed over 3.1.0 (no wipe necessary). Phones - The Ultimate Droid - Forums Flash in good health!"

It would be nice to be able to upgrade memory on these phones like you can a PC.
My only problem i get is when i open the web browser, and do some surfing, i can't get the web browser to close an it wants to lock up the phone. So i have to reboot. I got so tired of it today, i reloaded a nandroid of cyan7 without backing up UD3.1
So after a few days of use now, I have to say that while I like the rom and the many features available it just doesn't seem to like my phone. I run into quite a bit of random FCs and after about 2 to 3 hours of daily type use the phone becomes really sluggish. I have tried a couple of different kernels and speeds with the same results so for now I'm giving SS 5.1 a whirl.
Just want to start off by saying so far my experience with UD 3.1.1 has been flawless. This is awesome, especially after upgrading from my Ally running Velocity 1.0 to a D1 a few days ago. I can tell a HUGE difference with Ultimate Droid.
I did want to ask something about overclocking the D1. I'm not new to the rooting/rom scene, I've had experience with several phones (friend's phones), but the D1 scene is new to me. So any help on getting my phone to OC higher than 800 would be awesome.
I know there are kernels out there, but I don't know where they are, and if they would work with the latest version of U.D...
Hopefully someone here will be able to help me out and point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance, and thanks to the creators of U.D. for making my experience with the D1 great so far.

I'd say your best bet, is to keep the kernel that came with UD, and use the Milestone Overclock app to set it to the appropriate frequency/voltage.
It's very simple to use, lets you avoid flashing a new kernel, and is fully compatible with SetCPU. It's worked well for my GB kernel needs, as you can set it for your phones sweet spot. Give it a try.
Thanks for the help!
That did it, I was finally able to overclock it to about 1000mhz so far.
Trying to gauge it properly, so it doesn't get too hot.
I had tried the Milestone Overclock before, but I guess it wasn't modified, because it wouldn't even load the module for me. But thanks to that link you shared with me I have it overclocked. Yes!
Awesomesauce.

Flashed today on a clean install and im gettin horrific battery life on light to medium usage on a raod trip today. Are yall using the stock kernel or is UD still gettin bad battery life for everyone?
Every kernel I've tried with the ROM has sent me into a boot loop, so I'm sticking with the stock kernel. Battery life has been comparable to CM7 and UD 2.5. I've been using the navigation a lot without a car charger though, so it's hard to gauge good/bad battery life when using an app like that.

Thanks for the info. Where did you find some compatible GB kernels?

ChevyNo1 released some kernels (available through ROM manager, and I assume his page as well) that are supposed to be specific to GB somehow. I've tried those, my old go-to slayher kernels (1.0 and 1.1 ghz LV), as well as lower frequency (900 mhz) slayher and chevy kernels. Every single one of them resulted in a boot loop. I don't know what it is with UD 3.1, but it's not interested in playing nice with any other kernels besides the stock. I've learned to deal with that though. The ROM itself works perfectly in every other way, and my only complaint is the built-in GB copy/paste function thinking I'm trying to copy or paste when I double-tap a word in a text that I actually intend to use swype's menu to change to a different word.

I also just noticed that most of my music tracks have an unknown artist and the track number is in the title. Didnt have this when i was running crom, any ideas?
I'm having a similar problem.
Some tracks or albums are lumped together (i.e. one album has 17 tracks, but shows 38 due to several other albums being dumped into the same folder).
All of my tags are correct too, I use Foobar2000 on my PC to tag everything, the music shows up fine everywhere else...
Plus my album art is wrong for almost every album, so I'm seeing lots of White Pony album covers overwriting my other album covers...
I'm running PlayerPro, the default music player, and DoubleTwist, no luck getting things right.
Clearing the cache and Dalvik cache doesn't help either.
Well, I guess no one has encountered the issue above that I've run into...
Anyway, I think that I'm going to take my D1 completely back to stock and start over with rooting and adding UD 3.1.1. My battery life with this particular ROM for lack of a better word sucks! I'm lucky if I can get between 3 and 8 hours out of my phone, with moderate or heavy use. I'm thinking maybe the rooting or the rom didn't take, or something screwed up along the way from stock to what it is now. Unless you guys have any suggestions that would work, could someone please direct me to a link or thread here that explains how to completely wipe my D1, back to stock, so I can start all over again?
Or would that do any good whatsoever?
I thank anyone in advance for a reply or any help. It is appreciated. I've recently upgraded from an LG Ally running Velocity 1.0, to this D1 my friend gifted to me. For what it's worth.
I would certainly not go back to stock and re root, just try a different kernal. All droids are different and respond differently. Currently I'm on gpa 14 with 1.2 kernal and battery life is awsome but I do miss the options available in ud or pe.

dont mean to derail the thread, but how are all droids different? arent they all manufactured by machines and computers? i just always see people say that and always wondered why, haha

Just like pc chips from the same die and batch, one can be overclocked to a different extreme than another, one Droid plays well with a certain rom and kernal combo while another droid hates the same combo.

What most people mean by that statement is that the individual components vary within their allowances.
Think about Xbox 360's. They are all the same in that they are all made from the same parts. However, each individual part is slightly different because manufacturing allows for slight variances within certain limits. These variances can make or break an individual device. Think about the Xbox 360's. Within a few months of the devices release, thousands of them RRoD'd, while thousands others never overheated once. I had mine for more than 3 years before I had problems with it and the problem was with the video card. Mine only RRoD'd after I left it running, stuck on the frozen boot screen. It ended up overheating and thats when it RRoD'd.
So, in other words, the devices are the same, but the components used in each device can be slightly different which can make them either really like or really hate a certain kernel.
