Your anecdotal sdcard failure has nothing to do with why many phone manufacturers are no longer including cheap sd slots. It has more to do with internal capacities being more than enough for most people, making the device ever so slightly thinner & cheaper, and helping the carriers charge more for cloud storage data overages.

Image it in a sdreader first, and use a data recovery util (like photorec from testdisk) if necessary (a fsck fails). (You really should've had backups for your most important stuff anyway; if you lose your phone, your stuff is just as hosed)

FWIW, none of the nightlies have given me any GPS trouble. Not sure why it creeps up for some while not others.

I really doubted that this would work, but it did! Now we'll see if I lose GPS when I flash the next nightly.

Well. I did a totally clean install with 428. Still reboots now and then...oy...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cusa:
I've never gotten reboots with the new kernel and I always do a clean install. I thought they fixed the reboots in the two previous nightlies.

Latest nightly has been great. Idk why all the other ROMs based off 10.1 have so many issues

Can you guys check if you have speaker phone call echo? The person on the other end said they heard a terrible echo of themselves. Flashed a different ROM and the problem was gone.Curious if it was an isolated incident or not.

I'm sad to report that a full wipe did not fix my BT stuttering issue. To be specific, each initial audio streaming connection with a Ford Edge Sync, any streaming audio seems to 'pause' about every 1-3 seconds for about .5 seconds. After one minute, audio resumes normally.

Also, Sync no longer sees that I have AVRCP controls, so I'm unable to pause or skip, and only sees "Bluetooth Streaming" as an audio source.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vvelvetelvis:
yep, echo when using the speaker phone. i also cannot turn the volume down when on the speaker. the slider goes down but the volume stays the same.

edit: im on 4.28 nightly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
Thanks for checking, wanted to rule out it was just me. I use speaker phone often so i'll be checking back for a fix on newer releases.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Not sure why I'm having GPS issues, but it's not fixed on 4/29 nightly with clean flash. I restored to a previous nightly (4/23), verified GPS worked on it, then dirty flashed 4/29 and GPS still doesn't lock. 4/29 does not have the screen flickering issue, however, so it's kind of a trade-off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DeathKoil:
4/29 - Clean install, stock kernel

Some things are incredibly slow / choppy. I use Android Pro widgets for RSS, Facebook, and Twitter. Scrolling in the widgets is very very choppy. In addition, Words with Friends is slow to start, and the animation of dragging and dropping tiles is very choppy. OS transitions like swiping between screens are fine (edit: usually transitions are fine, occasionally they are choppy). Scrolling in "Settings" for example though, is very choppy. Chrome is also laggy / choppy / slow to respond to my actions.

I too cannot get a GPS lock. I haven't flashed back to an older nightly to get a lock then reboot with the lock.

There seems to be a fair amount of "home button lag". When I press the home button it takes ~1 second for the phone to bring me to the homescreen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlbertoM:
I wish. Just got my first reboot on 429 while reading this. I had hoped...

Alberto
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
FWIW: one of the biggest changes in the long list of changes for the 4/29 nightly is a revert of AOSP's heapsize increase from 64MB in 4.1 to 96MB in 4.2. Supposedly this small tweak is enough to make the device feel "less laggy" in certain heavy use situations such as updating tons of apps in Google Play, TiBu backups, Google Chrome, etc. Personally, I don't really notice any difference (and didn't expect to).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cusa:

It's called nightly for a reason. All the builds have their quirks and the most stable would be the M builds. However, the last few nightlies have been solid for me. I haven't experienced any major issues and they're good enough for daily drivers. You should wait for the 4/30 build if you're concerned about the GPS problem, which I haven't experienced.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] swtnix:
Besides the GPS work around, the Bluetooth audio seems a little wonky, but 4/28 has been solid

I've been on 4/20 for 10 days and it's been great for me besides the flickering from time to time. 4/30 is sounding good though so I'll probably give that a flash tonight after work and see how it does.

I've experienced the same a lot, but I haven't had a lot of time to do troubleshooting on it. This started around 3/5-3/7 for me.. I kept going back to my 3/4 flash over and over until I discovered the kt747 kernel got rid of most of the random reboots.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phjnky:
I confirmed the same. May be related to 4/29 change.

Can not mark the same content of browser page after copy

Marking a text on the web page and then press copy works,

but trying to mark the same text again does not work.

The reason for this is that the selection never gets

cleared in webkit.

The fix, calling cleaSelection in the onDestroyActionMode.

Also added clearSelection when getting an

onConfigurationChange.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheCynick:
Daily restarts for no apparent reason

I'm on the M3 build of CM10.1. Generally it's great, but for some reason the phone reboots at random intervals approximately once a day. Once that happens it gets stuck in a restart loop (in that it completes the boot process and is ready to use but then will once again restart) unless I go into recovery and clear Dalvik and Cache. After that it behaves well until the next time it happens several hours later, and then I have to go through the whole cycle again.

I ran alogrec (log attached) and put it through a couple of restart cycles, but nothing jumped out to my admittedly untrained eye. Could it be something as simple as a bad flash? I did a full wipe (cache, dalvik and data) in TWRP before installing. I went from the latest stock ROM directly to the M3 build.

Important note, which may be significant: I have device encryption enabled.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] naturefreak85:
There isn't a way to fix it right now. You can check the settings to see if the option to convert is there, but SMS->MMS isn't a default in any Stock Software, by doing SMS->MMS you actually break 3rd party app compatibility. 3rd party apps don't do the conversion. Down the road it won't convert it to an MMS but will still join them all together, what you will see is it send it all as one, but on the network it gets split up (and tagged appropriately) and rejoined on receipt.

I can confirm this as well. Anything above 60%ish volume results in some sound distortion. I hear "cracks" in notification and ring tone sounds or anything that is produced by the UI, even Google now.

However, music and YouTube is perfectly fine at 100% volume. Weird. Seems that only app-generated sounds are unaffected.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] naturefreak85:
So it gave you back the SMS->MMS or it gave Concatated SMS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:

Weird, I wiped and re-flashed the ROM, and I appear to be missing the network type menu again. *#*#4636#*#* works on a temporary basis to enable LTE, but upon a reboot, LTE is lost again (set back to WCDMA preferred). The odd thing is, the first time I flashed the 7-25 build, LTE worked fine and that network types menu was there.

Anybody else observe this?

Try going back to a Nandroid from March if you have any. Check GPS on that Nandroid. If not, then clear AGPS and check again. If working then switch to the latest nightly and see you have any luck. It has worked for me.

Just had my first random reboot in almost 1-1/2 weeks on 5/1 nightly while streaming Spotify over bluetooth in my truck, very strange. That's been my daily routine for months, and since 4/20 didn't have any reboots...

On the plus side, on 5/1, GPS still locks almost instantly, screen flicker is gone, etc. Basically, all the recent issues seem to be ironed out. The only thing I'm seeing that's new, and I failed to mention before, is gallery will force close if I try to share a pic/vid to FB, G+, Gmail, text, etc. My workaround has been to go into the respective app and use the add image/video from within the app itself. I've tried clearing cache/data on gallery and I always wipe cache/dalvik when flashing nightlies and then flash gapps after that, so I'm not sure what else it could be...

Random Reboots

There appear to be conflicting reports of whether recent builds suffer from random reboots or not. I think it would be helpful if folks could post more reliable data on this so that we can all judge for ourselves whether we want to try a particular nightly.

TWO CAVEATS:

(1) Steve Kondik has already warned us (via G+ post below) of likely instability if we are using other kernels in recent builds. So, please don't report instability if you're using some other kernel. Report that in the thread for that kernel.

https://plus.google.com/100275307499530023476/posts/S1c2HQJPhJU

(2) Because most of us have our phones off much of the day, we may not notice these reboots. If you think your phone hasn't suffered from random reboots, please confirm it before posting. Easiest way is to go to "About Phone" then "Status", then check your uptime to see if that really matches the last time you intentionally rebooted.

If you think your phone has been suffering from random reboots, and you notice any patterns (last_kmsg), consider reporting on http://jira.cyanogenmod.org/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
5/1 is EXTREMELY laggy here for about 5 minutes after bootup -- flashed back to 4/30 and it's smooth as butter again. (I'm willing to trade the fixed random reboots (in 5/1) for butter). If "it's just me", then I'll be doing clean install tomorrow to see if makes a difference.

(edit: after every reboot on 5/1 my phone's slow as sludge upon bootup for a couple minutes before smoothing out, but logcat doesn't reveal why, and the same apps starting up at boot on 4/30 don't affect it similarly. weird.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
