I'm just going to chalk this up to "language barrier" and leave this alone. Plus that link is only as current as August 28th. We're in September now.

To everyone else:

Besides my Plants vs Zombie problem (turns out its a known issue with the most current version of the game, looking at the PopCap forums), my battery life seems to have taken a hit. I keep two batteries now (the stock battery and the Anker 1800 (the second Anker died)) that I rotate when my phone gets low, so its not that big of a deal, but I was curious if this issue persists on 10.1.3 RC2. If so, I'll just stay on the official stable release. Other than that, no major problems.

The GPS thing seems to have been solved by downloading Metal Sniffer and running it before running Google Maps (thanks to the folks at the Relay 4G board for this suggestion). Sometimes the cursor is pointed in the correct direction, sometimes its takes a few seconds, but still that's better than it was before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VaderSS:
The nightly did not fix the OTA problem for me, but that may be due to my attempts to fix the problem using System Tuner Pro with RC1.

Thanks to the tip on the nature of the problem, I was able to disable the OTA process using STP and now have reasonable battery life. Once the stable comes out, I will do a clean install and see how that goes.

Still having the same Bluetooth issues as with all of the CM10.1 I understand that is a native Android problem, but was hoping for some relief there. Sucks that I can't use my OBD2 interface with my daily use phone. I feel like Google really dropped the ball on that one, to put it nicely...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I did a dirty flash from RC1 to RC2 yesterday (only clearing cache and Dalvik) and it really borked up my phone. App crashes and hangs among other problems. I restored my backup to RC1, just wondering if anyone else saw any funkyness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
My camera apk seems to have...disappeared. :confused: Seems to have begun today out of nowhere. Whenever I double click the camera app, it tries to open then closes, giving the error message "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped". I go into the system/app and its not there. :confused: I never deleted it, so what happened? Has anyone had this problem before?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Weird that you say that. This started happening to me yesterday. What's weirder? I'm running Slim Bean 8
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
Weird, usually when I get that message, I just clear the data for Gallery. I wonder why it's not there...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
How did you fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Lol, what gave you the idea I fixed it? Usually though (yes, I've had this happen a couple times since CM7) I simply download some other camera app, and that kick starts the stock app once I reboot and clear everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I didn't reboot and clear everything (what is "clear everything"? Going into CWMR and clearing something there? :confused: ), but I re-downloaded a camera app I had in Titanium Backup that I had deleted back in March to make room for other apps. Well, I only ran it once and that did the trick, got the stock camera back. :good: Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Yes, wipe cache and Dalvik. Something I do about as often as I poop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Ah ok. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Ever since I updated to rc2, Amazon appstore won't stay connected. I tried uninstalling and installing the newest version. I also tried deleting all of the entries of my device on Amazon, but nothing seems to have helped. Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nimbis:
I updated to RC2 and my texting and dialer apps are gone. I've been trying to figure out how to replace them but there is so much spam when searching for either of those apps. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? GAPPS didn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
I had this and many more problems. I went back to a nightly before rc2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1greek4u:
Is there a kernel that's available to overclock/undervolt? I'm 10.1.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] itek:
Anyone having problems with wifi? I tried installing the 09/15 nightly, and then RC2 on my wife's phone, and both connect with the router, the wifi indicator turns blue for a bit, then back to gray and no data, although it says connected. This is with a full wipe for each. I could go back farther to RC1, but it didn't run that great for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'm tired of hearing about her semi-functional phone. ;)

EDIT: CM is perfect. My router at home required a reset however. Some setting had gotten messed up and the IP addresses were not getting assigned right. It took me a while to track down, but I learned something new.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
I'll check when i get home, i'm at school right now and my phone is currently booting the 9/15 nightly. I'll have to remind myself to post results back here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itek:
Thanks for the offer. Turns out my router was being weird. Hard reset and reassigning all the IP addresses solved the problem. :eek: Live and learn.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xm1337:
Switching back to my Epic 4g since my S3 broke. My epic was still running some version of CM9 so I did a clean install of CM 10.1.3 RC2. Seems to be running smooth (I did just have an S3, so I guess this is considered 'smooth') with no FCs.

However, my Home and Search button do not work now. I'm certain those buttons were working before. Even if I slide the keyboard open and press the keyboards Home / Search button nothing happens.

Is there possibly something specific with this device I'm forgetting? Its been at least a year since I've powered this device up and I'm getting that feeling that I forgot something important.

Edit: I'd prefer a stable over a nightly if possible. Which is why I grabbed RC2
[Epic 4G Android Development] SaintZ93:
If you're looking for stability and what not, I'd recommend using SuperNexus AOSP by Unjustified Dev, been on it for a few days now and haven't came upon any problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danipoak:
I've been running the latest stable of this with zero problems. Even Bluetooth works just fine. Battery lasts all day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] audioblivious:
Imagine that...... maybe it's my battery but I get maybe maybe 4 hours on 4.3 now it's getting about the same
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Thanks I might update it :p

Edit oops, wrong thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaytay:
Looks like the 10.1.3 stable just dropped. I've got it applied and running successfully so far!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bypod:
It seems like dirty flashing never works for me anymore (just clearing cache and dalvik). The last few times I've attempted it, all my apps force close, wifi doesn't want to connect and etc. After so much customization of my phone, I hate to wipe and do a clean install... :)

But I love, love, love this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaytay:
Looks like I spoke too soon - I'm seeing one weird issue. The physical arrow keys move the cursor the wrong directions. For example, the up/down arrow keys move the cursor to the left and right, and the left/right arrow keys move the cursor up and down. This affects multiple applications. I see this behavior using Google Calendar, TextSecure and Memo Pad. I've uninstalled/reinstalled TextSecure to verify that it wasn't the app.

I did not notice this behavior in the RC1 or RC2 releases (that I can recall). I did dirty flash CM10.1.3 stable over the top of RC2.

Edit #1: I'm reinstalling the ROM after doing a factory reset, and formatting /system. I'll update the status of the mixed up arrow keys when done.

Edit #2: Completely reinstalled CM10.1.3 stable after factory reset and formatting /system, and the arrow keys are still acting incorrectly - the up/down keys moves cursor left and right, and the left/right keys move the cursor up and down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
Looking into this ASAP. FYI, the 9/15 nightly works correctly. I suspect a patch that got merged on 9/20 is the cause of the problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sterist:
i'm having a problem with 10.1.3

google services do not work at all. wifi/internet works perfectly fine but the wifi icon won't turn blue and it constantly says No Connection

worked perfectly fine with all previous versions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
I'm attaching a cwm zip to fix this. It is just replacing s3c-keypad.kl to remap the arrow keys. A different solution might come around, but this will work for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaytay:
I flashed this zip, and the keyboard arrow keys are now behaving normally. Thanks very much for your quick fix! :good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I had the same problem and this fix worked for me as well.

Though when I flashed it, it reminded me of something I noticed the last time I was in CWMR to flash the September stable CM10.

When CWMR starts up, at the bottom, it says:

"Warning: No file_contexts"

:eek:

What is "file_contexts" and why is it gone or missing? This error wasn't there when I installed the last stable release back in July. Or is this a CWMR issue? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbelos:
"file_contexts" is a file included with the CM10.2 boot.img that tells the system what permissions to give to every file. That's nothing to worry about. It's related to SELinux, which is only used on CM10.2 right now. I'm not sure why that shows up in the CM10.1 recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Alright just trying to figure out what's eating my battery life. I'm guessing its the screen timeout? But I always manually shut it off when I'm not using it. I also have the brightness set to zero. I'm not even sure why that option is there, even at zero the screen seems too bright to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnseeking:
That sudden drop seems suspicious. Battery health? Have you tried a battery recalibration app or resetting your battery stats in CWM when fully charged? How old IS your battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I did not even know battery recalibration apps existed. :eek: Though I'll give "resetting battery stats in CWM when fully charged" a try.

As for age? I alternate between using the ORIGINAL battery, and an Anker 1800 battery. I had two Anker 1800s (I bought two Ankers that came with a charger off eBay for about $25 total), but one of them died fairly quickly. Won't hold a charge at all. So basically when one battery is in the phone, the other is charging. And when I go somewhere, I keep the charged battery in my pocket so I can swap it out when the one in the phone dies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnseeking:
Whether you reset in CWM or use a recalibration app, I think they do the same thing, which is delete some battery stats file on your phone. My battery stats freaked out when I first flashed to CM 10.2 from stock, and doing a recalibration "fixed" it. Also helped me figure out that one of the three batteries that came in the eBay auction with my phone was pretty useless. Good luck!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Well apparently the ability to recalibrate from CWM has been taken out. So I'll have to use an app. Do you have one you recommend?
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnseeking:
The one I use is just called "Battery Recalibration.". Free and easy. :laugh:
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
:confused: Near as I can tell there is no such thing as "Battery Recalibration" as far as apps go, but rather plenty of "Battery Calibration" apps without the "re-".

I downloaded one called "Easy Battery Calibration" and everything seems to be going the same. I'll post some screen shots.

Right now I'm downloading something called Mugen Power App to see how it goes. Its supposed to save different profiles for different batteries, and since I alternate between two that are different capacities I may need that.

Thing is, battery life seems to get worse per stable release (I only do stable releases, probably going to stay away from RCs), and I'm wondering if its a coincidence or connected or if I'm doing something.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sterist:
bumpppp
[Epic 4G Android Development] UPdownLoAD:
What version of GApps have you flashed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
What corrective measures have you taken thus far to correct the problem? Factory reset, wipe everything, and fresh flash of a NEW download of the same ROM, AFTER having checked the MD5?

Oh yeah, and what the guy above me just asked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itek:
Did you see my post from a little while ago? I had a similar problem. It turned out to be settings in the router, which was solved by resetting the router. If you want to make sure, go into wifi settings on your phone and confirm the MAC address and your assigned ip address. (Settings > wifi > menu > Advanced and scroll to bottom.) Then go to your router settings and check for the same MAC address and see what ip address is being assigned. For me, they didn't match, because the router remembers the MAC address and doesn't assign a new ip address, but the one already assigned. Something like that anyway. :p Check those settings, if they don't match, reset your router and you should be good. Hope it helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dfrhodes:
yeah, these new gapps are trouble. including the one for 10.2. Never could get the AOSP to work, so disabled and using google keyboard. play, services also crashing until i replaced or disabled.

otherwise things are pretty smooth.

oh and did the sneak 'battery hog' G+ into gapps now? had to disable that too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sterist:
1. 8/14 I believe

2. the latest nightly worked perfectly fine. update to stable 10.1.3 = google play sees no connection.

all other internet access wheels perfectly fine (not a router problem..)

tried wiping cache's and re-flashing gapps + cache wipe. since it worked fine before and cm update killed, it I'm assuming data wipe is a big waste of time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itek:
Does the Play Store go out as it is restoring your apps? Besides the router issue I mentioned, I have also had issue with Play Store while reinstalling my apps. Too many late night flashes. :eek: I just kept retrying. I don't know if it helped, but I got into a habit of not touching the device getting the update for a good 20 minutes as apps download. That seemed to help, but at this point ymmv. Good luck. :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaytay:
I started having an excessive battery drain issue (10%+ per hour) at some point using the CM10.1.x ROM. I used BetterBatteryStats and Greenify to start hibernating apps that seemed to have a high number of wake locks. Eventually, I was able to eliminate the issue, and now only see a drain of about 0.8% per hour when my phone is not being used.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarsh10:
What radio / modem should I be using with this? I have been running CM 10.1.2 for awhile, but always wondered what modem / radio works the best. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
It really depends on your area, some people get the best reception with older radios, others get better reception with FC09 and then there's always the option of using Nexus S 4G radios
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sterist:
no

put your phone in airplane mode + turn off Wi-Fi, then open Google Play. you are now experiencing what's happening to me while my phone IS connected to the internet.

per update 10.1.3 (and 10.1.3.1)
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshag:
Just did a complete wipe/install of cm-10.1.3.1.epicmtd.zip from a factory reset, format system and I'm getting the phantom voicemail icon glitch. I haven't updated in 6 months or so and can't seem to find a fix. Any help would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Even when I dirty flash, I always go back into CWM and flash the Epic 4G carrier fix before doing anything else. As such I have not had any of these problems, just battery usage problems. Do you two flash that fix as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshag:
I've been using a copy of services.apk to gain root whenever i upgrade roms (probably a better way to do it).

anyway, this normally works with no problems but i recently did a complete wipe/reload with cm-10.1.3.1-epicmtd.zip and everything works well (and i have root). only problem is when i go into settings/sounds and try to adjust volumes.. services crashes. not a huge issue but im trying to fix it.

so.. does anyone have a services.apk that will give me root (and not crash when adjusting volumes) or a easy way to root.. please post a link to a file or instructions. :) id greatly appreciate it.

also.. still trying to figure out this phantom voicemail notification.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itek:
I was asking at what point does the Play Store stop working. I had the same issue, on clean installs, multiple times, and watched the Wi-Fi change from blue to grey as the apps restored, after which all the app installs to restore system from Google failed. It was annoying to diagnose and repair, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
1) What are the changes applied to 10.1.3.1?

2) If I want to change launchers permanently, I would just find the apk of the browser I want, change the permissions, and put it in the same folder as Trebuchet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffreyjicha:
1) 10.1.3.1 fixed the physical arrow keys on the keyboard, because before, the up arrow moved the cursor left and down moved it right while the left and right keys did absolutely nothing.

2) I would just put the launcher in the zip before I flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
2) If you want to install the launcher to /system IMMEDIATELY instead of after a reboot, move the apk to /system first (in order to modify permissions, as /sdcard doesn't allow permission change), change permission to rw-r--r-- and then move it to /system/app. Wait a few seconds, press HOME and your launcher should be available.

Sent from Samsung Captivate Glide @ CM10.1.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
Ah. Yeah the thread starter (I think?) created a zip to flash to fix that. If that's the ONLY thing different in 10.1.3.1, I think I'll wait till the next release. I'm looking for an update to fix/help with battery life.

Cool, thanks. I like Trebuchet, but ADW out of all of them seems like a better version of Trebuchet. Really thinking about doing this. I have the Root Explorer app, so this should be fairly easy. Just wondering if I'd "break" anything. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
probably the same thing... in the options for bean flinger in Daydream, you can change jellybeans to CiDs
[Epic 4G Android Development] bstevens23:
Bean flinger was in stock 4.1 I believe and I know I stumbled upon the CiD flinger on CM10. I'm not sure if there are any new easter eggs for 4.2. They're fun for a few minutes, then I get bored, haha. Does the daydream just let you fling them? I've never used daydream but I thought they worked similarly to screen savers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BloatedDuck404:
Yes you can fling them in daydream

I still have the same tethering problem i've had in 10.0

im connected to 4g on my phone, but the computer is only getting 3g speeds

this is via USB

i ran speedtest on my phone and was getting 8mbps but on the pc was getting ping of 99 with .28 mbps...

am i the only one who has this problem? i doubt it since this is across 2 epics...just got my refurb yesterday and decided to tether today..

[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Any update on the tethering issue? Not really annoying but I figure you'd want as few hiccups as possible :3

Also, when cm 10.1 gets nightlies, will the say 10.1 nightly or cm10nightly?

Btw, I know this is an experimental build, but this build runs smoother than the last cm10 nightly I ran before I broke my phone which was 11-22 I think. The battery lasts longer and I haven't rebooted or overheated yet!!

I do miss the developer options...why was this taken out?? Is it missing from vanilla 4.2?

NOVA LAUNCHER ftw!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
+1

or Apex
[Epic 4G Android Development] RodimusConvoy:
I've given both a try and it just seems like ADW is the best. I'm already familiar with and like Trebuchet, I just think its missing some features I enjoyed when I had plain old Gingerbread, whatever its default launcher is called. ADW seems the most similar to Trebuchet while adding back in the pinch preview screen and continuous scroll on the home screen. Plus the cube effect with lines is cool (Nova has the cube effect just no lines, Apex doesn't have a cube effect at all, and neither has the pinch preview). Now its entirely possible these things are available in the paid versions of Apex and Nova, but they're already there in the free version of ADW. Hence my question that AndyYan was nice enough to answer. ADW, to me, feels like Super Trebuchet/Trebuchet Prime/Trebuchet EX/Trebuchet Pro. :D
