It needs to be said again,

Droid work fine only on their first call. If you store the droid and then call it the addtional radial functions do not work.

Repair, Power, Crafting, Medical, Item and Data Storage, and combat modules work just fine.

Auto-repair, Trapping, Harvesting, Barker, Effects, Playback, Stimpack, Structure and Demo module do not work after the first call, because they use a seperate radial option.

on newer droids only, OLD droids work on every call just dandy.

Seems there is a random occurrence of different results. After retesting all my freshly built droids with prepatch 21 components do not work. No options on radical. My merchant barker I built around 6-8 months ago does work great. I also have a ranger toon and his trapper and harvestor that is around 2 months old does not work. These were purchased so I have no idea when they were built. I had used them many times before the patch but now radical is gone. Also havea smuggler toon and she had 2 det. droids in data pad that didn't work on first call. I had one in inventory that showed when readied but not after saving and calling again.

I have had to back up and erase about 5 different things on this paragraph and I am trying to hold my tongue. I won't promise my one working barker will though. I think I can keep him from getting too mean. All I know is $15 a month is $15 a month and there is no humanity in it. We are just $$$. Nothing more and nothing less.

I may change my shop sign to "GO AWAY, THEY DON'T WORK, BLAME SOE AND LA"

My barker is old, as in from when they came into game, I also had a couple Ent effects droids deeds, aged the same as my dog.

When my performer friend mentioned about her droids not working I offered her to try my old deed..it worked..all calls.
her own oldest droid works...her collection {2 toons 10 droids} only has two working performance droids..the oldest 2

I have biult an R3 that had a harvister modual and auto repair, and I have biult an LE that has a barker modual, both today, and both work fine nomater how many timesI call them, store them, log off, log back on, etc. Is this a random bug, something to do with old parts in new droids, or is it a realy bad bug that is effecting everyone but me and im just the luckiest S.O......E? alive?

Im trying to figure out how to get the bug to work so I can avoid it when I biuld a droid for customers. Im new, and most of my parts are hand made unless I apsolutly have to factory biuld them like the two advanced droid brains for R3 units and such. Mabey its just the factory biult parts? I dont know. Anyway, im confused. I told my brother about this bug, and that it was prety bad. He posted a bug report without even buying a droid and before I could test it myself. He felt realy stupid when my currently less than 24 hours old harvesting/auto repair R3 (biult last night around 7PM)kept working after being stored and re called 5 times, me logging out, and doing the same thing again. Just to see if I got lucky, I biult the Advanced LE droid a while ago and stored and recalled him several times, then logged off then logged back on and he works fine too (this one has a repair modual, Barker modual, and a storage modual). Anyway, Mabey I just missed it, but what am I doing....I geuss right? Or is it just random bad luck that causes it?

hehe .. not the only one .. so far I have tested and retested Barker, Repair, Harvest and they work repeatedly .. so far the only problems I have are traps. Gonna bug it in game after testing and making sure that I physically can trap on my own .. which I should. And another common link between us is that I hand craft my droids too. I think the only ones I factory craft are bounty hunter ones ) guess I may have to start making those by hand too )

Can you try testing traps and see if your luck holds out ?

So, what we have so far is :

Some peopleCANNOTgetNEW droids to work.

Some people CAN get NEW droids to work.

Some people CANNOT get OLD droids to work.

Some people CAN get OLD droids to work.

Hmm .. can't find any other options there )

I had 2 prepublish droids in my datapad both with the Auto-repair Modules, the pure combat one did not have the radial to use the autorepair even thoughit said it in the Datapad Options.

The second droid called and stored and had the Autorepair radial show up and work both times.

Also had a customer call and store a newly created droid and he said the radial appeared both times.

Its looking like its gonna be a difficult bug to find, IMHO.
