I did. Was unable to restore or perform backups after I tried flashing a TW kernel on my stock rom. Luckily I still hadn't deleted the latest CM10 nightly so I just flashed that. Went straight to CWM touch after I booted up and got everything set up. I know it was probably a fluke but CWM has never let me down on my previous phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EeZeEpEe:
Like all the recoveries I've tried before, you are always presented with an "Are you sure?" Anyway, tapping wipe in TRWP shows you all the wipe (cache, factory, dalvik, etc.) options first.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

You can only restore TWRP backups with TRWP. Were you trying to restore a CWM backup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iforgot618:
Have you never heard of CWM Touch?

Yes, however, some people still use the non touch version. Anyways use whatever you like / whatever works for you. End of topic.

Sprint Galaxy S3

CM 10 Nightlies - Blazer Rom - TWRP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] splashattack:
Nope. I still don't know what caused it to spazz out on me like that. Maybe I'm just unlucky. But either way, didn't wanna risk being stuck with a partially working recovery when I needed it. Been staying away from TWRP and the agat kernel since then :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rottingroom:
What difference does it make what recovery you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] r.suchil2:
It doesn't make any difference whatsoever. People need to chill out and realize people don't want to read a few pages of people bickering about which recovery they use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rottingroom:
Yeah that's my point. Its like arguing over who has the biggest turds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] r.suchil2:
Uhh, that would be me hahaha but yea, I get what you mean.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I've never trusted CWM since the days when it wouldn't wipe properly. That's the reason people say to wipe 3 times to this day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lMonsterl:
One can add it to the updater-script quite easily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I'll just stick to TWRP. Like I said before Team Win is stacked

That's quite a strong statement. You mind posting any kind of proof that CWM is undeniably more reliable than TWRP any day of the week?

Back to business... if I'm running the M2, do I want to flash nightlies dirty?

Was running m2 for 3/4 days and got the infamous data bug of not being able to connect to 3g/4g at all despite reboots and airplane mode toggling.....any ideas??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
Is there a way to direct GoBackUP to save to SD1 or has anyone found a way to force the Galaxy S3 to move programs to SD1? I guess DropBox is an option. Does Dropbox on a phone always save to cloud and never to the SD? I am assuming this is the case because no DropBox Folder Exists on SD0.

Ultimate Backup might be a good free solution if only apps need to be backed up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alexnaoumi:
On m2 whenever I get out of airplane mode im unable to make calls. When I dial out it will immediately say call ended and it will exit the call and go to the dialer. Only way to fix is a reboot. Has this been addressed in newer nightlies?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
The only way I've been able to fix it is by wiping data. It usually happens when I'm ready to flash a new nightly, so I just go ahead and do that, so you may also have to reflash the ROM, but I'm pretty sure someone else said that just wiping data fixed it for him.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] paulg1981:
Thanks that is a huge bummer, I love CM10 and would be my daily driver but I don't have time to check and make sure my network is working :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goldiefish:
I flash nightlies regularly, not had any data problems. Later this week I will be travelling to a Sprint 4G LTE area (Baltimore). Should I expect any 4G issues? Thanks in advance!

:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremiah.rs:
Bbqlog says that we're going to get a new recovery in the next nightly, any ideas of it will overwrite the one I currently have installed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trekkie1701c:
Generally I can fix stuff like this by restoring my stock backup and doing a PRL update. I've not tried the data wipe suggestion - but I've never needed to wipe data to restore network connectivity.

Probably, unless you get a really strong 4G signal. The ROM has no problem with data - unless you're switching between 3G/4G, then you'll lose data completely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] algirnavi451:
Considering I'm running TWRP and have been flashing CM which has recoveries and I kept my TWRP I am going to say no.

Its a CWM recovery version you can download through rom manager and it might not even plug and play with our phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 117micc:
So I decided to flash the new M2 build and last night Goomanager told me an updated JB Gapps was available for jb 4.1.2 so I downloaded, but I didnt flash them until today... and Works great... got the new Gmail 4.2 and the new Play store :) I also flashed KT747 kernel and works great :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] silkassassain:
Is it safe to flash from one nightly to another without wiping everything? (memory, dalvik, ect)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] midnitecoupe:
Yes, I don't wipe anything when flashing new nightlies.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
It's a problem with the eHDRP implementation. No fix for it yet

So, if I lose data connection as a result of 3G/4G switching will a simple reboot restore? I'm a flashaholic but I just can't afford to be without reliable connectivity while away so I'm willing to forego my flashing hobby if necessary, at least temporarily! If I restore full stock can I assume I'll get stock 4G connectivity?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Yes, you should get stock-like 4G connectivity.

I believe stock has working eHDRP. Or you could switch your phone to CDMA/EvDo only and you'll be fine with only 3G
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] particleman:
saw this mentioned briefly earlier, but there's an updated gapps out that appears to make a significant difference:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

In addition, I just noticed that a different version has been posted which seems to indicate that picasa is working, but I'm waiting until the next nightly to try it out - If anyone else takes a shot, I'm sure there are many of us who would be interested in knowing if it works:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nate735:
I'm using the latest M2 build since it came out and haven't had any issues. Battery life and stability are great.

I still don't have Picassa Sync yet with the official Google apps. Is there a workaround ?

Off topic how much faster would the new LG nexus be then the GS3 running CM10. I still have a week to return my phone so i'm just curious

I am stock rooted and have no issues with 4G data in the Baltimore area. Quick handoffs without reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sunwest:
I take it that this is compatible with our phones, and will work with the current nightlies? Even if not, I'm still gonna flash it. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nikolkang:

If you need complete 3g/4g hand off stability while on your trip then I would suggest using a TW rom.

4g is strong in my area but I often lose it completely over time. Sometimes it lasts over the course of a week if I'm lucky and other times it only works for a day at best.... The only way to bring back 4g is to do another clean flash once it's permanently GONE. Certain Nightlies have been better than others but couldn't tell you which.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
From the description at your link:

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it seems like the second zip is just an additional zip to flash alongside normal Gapps; it's not the actual Gapps zip plus Picasa support. The download size is also a lot smaller than the first link.

I know that doesn't answer your question, but I figured it was worth mentioning that before someone tried flashing the Picasa zip by itself and got angry because Google apps didn't work properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:

then you'll be fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Catching up on the threads today and was going to say this as well. The ROM I was running where the handoff was good was aokp. I flashed jellybro over the weekend and the handoff went to sh**. I'm going to flash back to aokp and see if I get the same good hand off. I will report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lMonsterl:
is the weather widget in the notification menu fixed yet in aokp?

You may not be referring to weather on the lock screen but on 10/10 I had problems with it, on 10/11 is working at the moment. It may have been Yahoo problem, who knows.

I wonder if we will ever be able to access the phone as USB storage?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaosb0x:
Never had that problem

What do you mean? I havent had a problem connecting to internal or external sd card... works great/sorta fast I may add, although, when do ya think we could see support for SAMSUNG UHS 1 micro sd cards :D i got a 64GB one it runs fast as hell, but man it wont let me use it in cm10, keeps asking me to format it, i click format and nothing happens, if anyone has any ideas please send me a private message, GREAT WORK CM!! FTW!:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
I mean connecting to a PC with USB and accessing the SD storage as mass storage from the PC. If you are successfully doing that I will be all ears.

By the way, I keep getting "Apollo has stopped working" ... any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DerIdiot:
^ Clear the cache/data for Apollo.

Home screen - Settings - Manage apps - Find apollo and tap it - clear cache and data. Should fix the issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Duper00:
Please notes in screen shot in regards to what is included in latest Gapps update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Specialksg1:
I believe USB mass storage would allow a computer to see your phone like it's a flash drive instead of as a phone requiring drivers and whatnot for the computer to see it ... for the time being, I just use a flash drive and my otg cable if I need something from my phone on someone's computer. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Circaflex:
hmm i know ive plugged my phone into my friends/works computer without actually installing any drivers, matter of fact i just clean installed my desktop and i plugged it in and it just found it as if it were a flash drive
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
Dang, mine shows "unknown device" in the USB dialog in Windows. I don't think it ever worked with a CM10 nightly but I did not try USB access early on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DerIdiot:
I can't tell if my volume is un-changing during a call received (though I did have headphones plugged in when it started ringing, and unplugged after accepting the call). I tried using the rockers to 100% then scale down, but it didn't change the volume noticeably.

Another issue I have is Handcent SMS seems to "flicker" when loading the keyboard. So far this issue doesn't seem to be affecting other apps, but it might be more prevalent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fidju:
I've been running M2 since it came out and it has been amazing. The only problems still are no split sms and gps doesn't work half the time. That's the big one for me. Gps is on in my settings, but when i open navigation there is no gps icon in the status bar and it says "searching for gps". Anyone else having this issue?

Audio Problem again

Is anyone experiencing the speakerphone blaster problem again in 10/14? Am I the only one? Was the a workaround that I missed? I tried to adjust the sound in-call but it didn't fix the issue. The caller on the other end is reporting that my microphone is muffling the audio for them. If anyone has some insight into this it would really help me out. Everything else is great, but this would be a deal breaker if I can't fix it.

I am using the 10/14 nightly and it works fine. It defaults to scrolling from right to left in marque style. It would be nice if we could define the layout at least as entered in the info block.

Another thing that I noticed is that the Owner Info does not show up if you have the phone plugged into the charger and battery charging status on lockscreen enabled. Seems to be one or the other when plugged in.

My GPS kept repeating itself too. I uninstalled Google maps, reinstalled and then reflashed Gapps and it seems to be working now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DerIdiot:
I tried flashing back to an older backup without flashing, but it seems Handcent SMS has an issue with flicker, at least for me. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the application but it flickers without end. Scrolling left/right or loading the keyboard causes it to flicker an image of the keyboard (and sometimes parts of the messages overlap) on the top half of the screen, nothing on the keyboard itself flickers. This only happens when loading the keyboard or switching between windows (left/right motion on screen) or intermittently typing on the keyboard it will flicker on everything above the keyboard. The black theme is worse, the white theme doesn't do the keyboard flicker but does between screens.

Uninstall and clear data/cache of app didn't fix it. Ugh, app issues. Stumped :-/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trekkie1701c:
Turn off bluetooth. For some reason I think the ROM looks for a Bluetooth device even after you've told it to use internal GPS; or at least, turning off bluetooth allowed me to reliably get a fix with it, whereas with bluetooth on I'd have to keep toggling GPS.
