Well, I am and I'm not crazy. Turns out that while yes, a true mac address is a hardware ID (even on our phones) thats associated with a network adapter- apparently in our phones kernel there is a certain method used to randomly appropriate a MAC address to our adapters. Can't seem to find any legitimate reason why- but it certainly seems as though there must be a reason. It is strange to note, though, that while on the stock CM kernel this comes into effect (radom MACs) on francos kernel it does not- as a previous poster stated. There also seems to be some sort of correlation between what the MAC address string starts with (i.e. 00:90:4C...). Not sure if this is just the default start of an address that the end is randomized to or not. I'm deeply curious now, though- because yes to someone who uses MAC filtering as an additional method of security (and it is a pretty good LAYER of security) this would be very inconvenient. I don't think, however, that this could have just been a "bug" that for this long has gone unfixed. I'll report back anything that I find for anyone else curious...

*edit*

Ok- for those seriously interested look here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1519761 This issue has been around since 2011 when a support ticket was opened with Google for it. Post 1 explains the problem pretty in depth and goes on to say basically that if for whatever reason the hardware ID (MAC) isnt sent to the kernel when its starting up then a random MAC is assigned (because it's absolutely necessary in order to use the adapter) beginning with 00:90:4C and the last octets randomized. This is a failsafe to make sure that if something goes wrong at least your wireless adapter will still work. The reason francos kernel isn't affected (as such) is more of a workaround than a fix. Apparently his kernel calls for this same randomization (you can tell because the MAC will still start with 00:90:4C but instead of randomizing the last octets on each reboot it just randomized it once and keeps it. Not sure if it keeps it across new flashes of his kernel or not- I haven't checked and honestly don't care. Post #8 goes on to explain how to actually fix the problem and write in your REAL MAC address which can be found in /factory/wifi/.mac.info on your phone. It's there- it's legit- it just for some unknown reason isn't being sent to your kernel when it calls for it so your kernel is improvising. Pretty neat when you think about it- anyway acutally fixing this problem involves editing your bootloaders "param" partition in a hex editor and it's highly likely that if done wrong you could brick your phone (as in dead dead- brick brick) so please exercise caution if you end up doing it. Francos kernel workaround should be more than sufficient unless you're just a perfectionist who not only wants a static MAC but THE CORRECT MAC. Personally- I don't even use MAC filtering- I just was very intrigued as to why this would happen the way it did. And I'm not CRAZY! :)

Anyone else thinking that DSP Manager isn't working? I can't discern any noticeable difference when any of its settings are activated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ammontj:
Awesome find. Makes sense this way
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sickopsycho:
It seems to be working on my phone. I dont really use it- but when I opened a track using apollo and adjusted dsp settings on the hardware speaker I definitely got sound adjustment. Didnt try headphones...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sickopsycho:
UPDATE- regarding my previous post (which in turn was regarding this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1519761)- I followed Wyzard256s directions (post#8 in above thread) to the T and success! My MAC address is now what I edited in which is what I found in my /factory/wifi/.mac.info file. Couldnt have been easier, albeit a little unnerving knowing I'm playing deep in brick territory. =) There is the fix- a true fix. Thought I'd update. Thanks Wyzard256!

Anybody know how to get the google profile to sync with cm profile. I tried clearing clock data to get google sync to work but no luck there. On my nexus 7 that's stock the sync was automatic so I guess it's a cm 10 issue or user error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stories:
The poor battery issue is also present in 1/1/13
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
I agree.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jimmah555:
Yeah I've noticed that the battery life has been getting worse with each build since 12/21 nightly. I do a clean flash and manually download every application after installation and never restore data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sickopsycho:
wow. You do this with every nightly? I don't have the patience for that- even with titanium backup... kudos my friend. you are hardcore. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CouttsPhotog:
i've got a bootloop issue now after auto-updating to the latest nightly. anyone else experience this? gonna try flashing the latest nightly manually
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jimmah555:
Haha. I'm just anal about clean flashing so I can't really blame lag or any problems on the installation. I only have a few apps installed anyway. Less than 20 total.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bose301s:
I disagree about poor battery life, i got just under 9.5 hours today with 2 hours screen on time, pretty damn good for this phone on any ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swyecso:
Had I not been following cm on google+ I would have freaked out when I saw this at 3am lol I cant believe they actually merged it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
Wow, I'd only get that on Wi-Fi. On 4G don't even think about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jediman:
Second this.

I am on the December 21'st nighltly and battery life is suckier compared to normal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
I agree, have been getting the best battery life over the last 3 nightlies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Battery life is as terrible as it has always been on this phone. Nothing new. Get a second battery.

Is anyone able to get the Chronus to work on lock screen? I can't seem to get the clock or weather with pattern lock. I'm on 1/1 nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] un4givn85:
its not that bad, i will admit the nexus isnt near as sexy with it tho:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ammontj:
I had to go under settings>system >clock widget and enable the weather and calendar

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
CM Updater looks so official.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dah328:
I've tried that, but I can't get anything other than date and time to display on either the home screen or the lock screen. Tried clearing data for both Chronos and Clock but no change.

On the other hand, my battery life, is looking to be at least as good as CM10 if not a little better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b.huss2:
Just curious, have you tried dragging the lock screen widget down to expand it, or long pressing the home screen widget to resize so you can see the rest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] midnightdevil66:
I just noticed that it doesn't display it on the home lock screen. I had to swipe right to show the weather/calendar widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dah328:
Arg, that fixed it. I had been moving around and resizing all my other widgets, but for some reason, it never occurred to me to try resizing the Chronos widget.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrotherG:
This is the worst thing about most android phones compared to the competition. I guess the rumors about 4.2 using the battery more efficient were just rumors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] un4givn85:
yea no kidding huh?

i was lucky to make it from 7am to noon if i used my screen at all on the old battery.

with this one i have to purposefully try to kill it before the end of the day.

Does anyone know where the proper place to suggest/request a new feature to the CyanogenMod team is?

I feel like just commenting on one of their Google+ posts is not gonna do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iviustang50h:
The rumors were concerning project roadrunner, and unfortunately that particular project isn't part of Android 4.2. Maybe 4.3 or 5.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarrellRaines:
I have to say the battery life is terrible from the 30th on. Granted my signal sacked but after turning off lte the drain was still bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] un4givn85:
no i havent tried that one, this one i have is the only thing other than stock i have tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chris157:
I just installed the latest 10.1 nightly on my and I noticed there's no burst mode or anything for the camera. *Does the camera not support it or did I do something wrong?

Also is there a seperate thread for 10.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andino:
It just hasn't been added yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chris157:
Ok thanks. It must be devices specific because the options show up on my TF101
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
Maybe the battery will be addressed in the 1/3 nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Actionx1:
I don't own this phone, and I've gone through a lot of threads in the Q&A and also read the past 5 pages of this thread so sorry if this has been answered before.

I installed CM10.1 on my friends Verizon Nexus and his Photosphere isn't working. I've reflashed 3X properly, all clean.

Does PHOTOSPHERE not work or is it a problem on my end.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b.huss2:
I just tried it and it seems to be working fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Yes it does. Pretty much has since cm 10 started.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] little man:
Not happening for me so far.

My sound also is working

Im using CM10-8-24
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefatalepic:
It's an app your using. I've had a Galaxy Nexus since launch and have never seen this aside from when using certain apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Yes it does
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stillthisguy:
I have only had one random reboot and that was on a nightly from a couple days ago. Are you using a different kernel instead of stock?

I also have not run into any sound issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] URPREY:
Same here. Specifically after using the wireless hotspot. Once I turn it off, within a few minutes it usually reboots. This is on a fresh install with a total wipe (including SD card), no apps or data restored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefatalepic:
That's definitely interesting. I clean wiped before 8/22, dirty flashed 8/24 and have tried turning on and off WiFi, and turning on and off the wireless hotspot. Toggled the wireless hotspot with Quicker, and then also directly from system settings.

No reboots so far...

However, when I am viewing a flash video on the stock browser, and I hit recent apps to switch to another app, I sometimes get a reboot. I wonder if it has something to do with high CPU usage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
In my experience with my specific Galaxy Nexus, ROM irrelevant, CPU heat seems to play a role in reboots. If I'm in a hot environment, I'll get an abnormal amount of reboots. If I'm at home or someplace cool, they're basically non-existent. Maybe it's just my particular device, but in my case it seems to be a hardware thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayer621:
I also experience this. At my work (a factory that's generally a *nice* 88 F) I will experience reboots and sluggish use. However once I get home to the AC, it's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze3131:
thank you alot for help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RashAPu:
So I've searched the thread and haven't seen this reported. After installing CM10 and using Titanium Backup, all backups are gone. Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarrellRaines:
Fresh install of the new nightly and having slight issues with data. Will have to wait and see about battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atrophis:
Flashed the latest nightly. 25th. The weather on the lock screen is screwing me up. Seems it can't connect to get the weather, so it hangs the device and I can't turn the screen on until it times out. Then I can either disable data and wifi or the lock screen weather widget. Seems like maybe its single threaded or something. I had to pull the battery a couple times until I figured out what it was.

ETA: I am seeing this same issue on my HP touch pad with CM 9, also. So its at least a CM bug back in CM9 as well.

Did you flash the latest gapps for android 4.2 from goo.im? In this case, it looks like it's 20121212

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enzymaticracer:
I just did photosphere in the 1/03 nightly with the 12/12/12 gapps and it worked as well.

This is my first 10.1 nightly (came from the 10.0 Stable, formatted system/factory reset before installing.) Running TWRP 2.3.1.0 currently

Everything is looking good so far! Definitely like the new look, the lockscreen is definitely pretty slick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iviustang50h:
Switch to Latest Franco nightly kernel for 4.2x and check that a rogue app isn't the culprit. On 4G my battery drains fast, but not that fast. I can get over 2 hours of screen on time and make it about 16 hours. On WiFi or 3G I can get three hours of screen on time and make it 16 hours. This is using Franco kernel and the extended 2100 battery, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwjr82:
I recently flashed CM10.1 everything looks good except my Bluetooth isn't working. It turns on but cannot find/pair to my cars stereo Bluetooth. Any ideas or fix I may have missed?

Edit: I determined that cm10.1 is running an older version of Bluetooth. I had to remove my device from my car and repair it. Buglessbeast was better. Not impressed with cm.

Wow. I can't even pray for 16 hours on my 2100mAh battery. I get like... 12 max with maybe an 1.5 hours of screen time. Recently since flashing the new nightlies, I can't even get like 8 hours of mostly standby time...

Anyone having issues with their phones showing the storage break down? Mine will just show free space/used space but none of the amounts for apps, media, etc are shown. Its just stuck on calculating even after 15+ mins. I'm on the 1/6 nightly but this has been happening for a few builds now.

I'm on the 1/07 nightly, and it calculates the storage after a few seconds. I have been doing dirty flashes since cm9. I just wipe cache and dalvik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andino:
I have been doing dirty flashes since the start of the 10.1 nightlies. Guess I will try a clean flash at some point and see if it fixes it. Its really the only thing negative about this rom other than the battery life in the latest nightlies.

Just flashed the 1/7 nightly with cm updater, then flashed Lk and leantweaks.

Now when I go to open terminal emulator it force closes. Anyone know what's up?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] midnightdevil66:

My phone is extremely slow and laggy, no matter which kernel I use, and I've tried several (including stock, lean, Franco, Tiny, and Trinity), which leads me to believe that one of my apps may be causing this. How do I determine which one?

Clean install and add your apps back one at a time.

Check whats running the background (Settings --> Apps --> Running) may help to limit which apps to uninstall and see if lag goes away..

So like I said I go back on 20130105 and everything was great until I try to make a call with skype. On the first few seconds the call was ok and then I could not hear other person - skype start pop up messages "headset attached" and "headset detach" and then I totally loose other person. Then the phone become weird - the keyboard start "jumping" again (show and hide) when I try to write something. Then I try to call a friend and I could not heard the dialing tone and when he pick up he could not heard me either. Then I uninstalled skype but the phone continued to be weird - no dialing tone and jumping keyboard. Then I decide to flash the latest nightly, after the installation the phone has same problem even without the skype. So I go back on 20130105 without skype and for now I can make calls and write texts. I am thinking to flash CM 10.0 and try to make a skype call because I used to make a lot a skype calls on this version with no problem. So that way I can find out is it a software or hardware problem. Any suggestions what is going on with my gnex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markcyst:
Do a nandroid, then do a full wipe and fresh flash. See if you still have the problem. At least you'll know if a clean flash could be a solution. Won't take more than 5 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
Weird issue using the 1/09 nightly:

Playing music through Google Music, when a new track begins to play, the volume jumps to max. One press of the down volume rocker goes back to the original position.

Also, I have the option to pin music over 3G disabled, but when I pin an album and the popup displays that the app will wait for WiFi, pressing OK makes the volume jump to max too.

Can someone else confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superkeest:
i listened to google music all day at work yesterday, did not experience that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] un4givn85:

havent tested it yet on this mornings
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snaprp:
I did nandroid then full wipe and fresh flash and the result is: on the latest nightly 20130110 i have problem right from the beginning when it ask you about your gmail account, I can not type anything because the keyboard is "jumping". So I am skipping this steps and my next step is to try is the headset working (because obviously when I have jumping keyboard I have no dialing tone) and of course there is no dialing tone on the headset only on loud speaker. Then I decide to go back on CM 10.0 So i did full wipe and fresh flash and guess what happened - the phone is extremely laggy and there is no keyboard like not at all. When you try to type something it shows "unfortunately, android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped." Then I try to call someone and of course there is no dial tone or any sound coming from the headset but from loudspeaker option. Then I did restore on CM 10.0 and everything work properly. I have no idea what is going on with this device. Any ideas?
