Using the 4/4 build now. I cannot send out emails using the Gmail apk. So, I went into TB Pro and froze it. Now I am using the stock email app, which looks and feels just like the Gmail apk, and which works.

Google Play store FCd once only.

Stock browser jumps a bit, as if it were downloading and populating my screen. Maybe it is doing that. I dunno.

Still can't get 4G. I have flashed all of the radios that are listed in the sticky roll up thread.

Guess I better reread the "how to do a lot cat thread", huh? :o

03/31/2013 is the last stable one for me, no real issues. I've loaded each of the April nightlies and have slow and multi-button unlock, flicker, apps FC'ing out of the blue, not worth messing with.

Somehow I don't think TC reads this forum. I wish there was a better way than filing a bug report to get their attention.

BTW, last bug report I filed I tried to use alogcat to generate a log but it doesn't seem to work anymore. What is the method of capturing a log nowadays?

I didn't bother to go through 1700+ replies and a gazillion pages so don't bash me if this has been covered already. I really like this ROM first and foremost. It is fast and has great battery life. The call quality might be a little weak but it is better than some other ROMS I have tried. I am having two issues - not really big ones as I have found ways around them but here is what's going on...

First, if I am listening to music with my headphones using Power Amp and I pull the headphones out of the jack my phone won't ring if someone calls. It will vibrate and light up, but it won't ring. I have to reboot the phone and all is well with the world again. I don't know if it happens with all music players or not...Also, Power Amp is one of a very few programs that will play WAV files off of the SD card - or even see them. I didn't have that issue with JMT when I was rocking ICS. Dunno if it is JB or the ROM itself?

Second, I am having a lot of trouble copying anything to the SD from my PC while it is in the phone. The computer sees it - no problem. I can access the stuff on it (16G) but if I try to copy something it freezes up. I have to pull the battery and restart the phone to get it to "unfreeze". The SD card works perfectly fine if I pull it out of the phone and put it into my card reader. That is the work around I have found. Again, wasn't an issue on ICS so I don't know if it is the ROM or just JB itself and the way it works? Maybe? I got nothin'...

Again, I like the ROM and they aren't BIG issues, but they can be an annoyance. Thanks for the hard work and time you put into these releases. Peace.

there is still a problem with "closing". I play the chess game, and after every move it would stop, and back up until I touched the screen again. Really weird.

I'm speaking from testing the nightly dated "cm-10.1-20130330-NIGHTLY-hercules" and "gapps-jb-20130301-signed".

An excellent rom and vast improvement over the latest official 4.0.4, but Bluetooth AVRCP was not fully functional when paired with a vehicle's head unit. While commands to change tracks back and forth was successful, no track metadeta was sent to the bluetooth receiver (i.e.: Artist, Album, Title, Album Art, etc.). This was fully functional in the official rom. Wasn't sure if anyone else has this problem, or if it's even reported so thought I'd make mention of it here.

Only issue I observed, though I admittedly didn't run it long as this is my daily driver device.

Additionally, there was no syncing of facebook contacts. I understand this, however, to be a problem with Facebook and Jellybean roms and not related to the rom itself.

If I turn off the tracking feature then Google Map is no longer able to fix my position and will not navigate. I guess it is a trade off, right? On 4.1.2 rom, i never have this issue even though i keep all location feature on.

I agree. I was afraid to try since M2 was working so well, and I had nothing but trouble with all the April nightlies, but 4/5 is so super smooth. I tried all the apps that were FCing on me, and they all work as they should now. Did some test calls to, and quality is awesome. I flashed right over M2, but did wipe cache, dalvik cache, and fixed perms. Then I let it sit for about 20 minutes after first boot, then rebooted, let sit for another 10 minutes, and then started to use it. I'm staying here until the stable is out.

Trying to install 10.0 on my Telus SGH-T989D but it seems to be stuck on the load screen unless it takes an incredibly long time to load the first time you start up. I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_hercules. The only issue I could see is perhaps installing the driver using Heimdall to the wrong location as there were two SAMSUNG_Android devices listed initially, when I checked again after installing the driver to the first option there was only the one though.

Yeah I think the best thing we can do for now is just take the SD card out of the phone, and put it directly into the PC. That's what I do when I have to transfer files. It's not that big of a deal for me as I only do that maybe once a month.

hdmi

I've searched this thread and found only 2 references to hdmi. My question is, does the HDMI work? I bought a MHL adapter so I am not sure if the cheap adapter from HK doesn't work or if the rom is the problem. I prefer not to go through the trouble of reinstalling the stock rom to test the adapter. Is there a setting somewhere I might be overlooking?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chefp:
You can leave the Location service on in System -> Settings. The trick is to change Google Maps' settings. Turn off location history (which is creepy to begin with), Location sharing, and other similar options. Google Now has a location setting buried in there somewhere that drastically reduces battery life.

And of course disable GPS and use WiFi & Mobile to determine location.

So, disable all if the location sharing features, that many applications consume for full functionality because the ROM isn't fully vetted out yet?

I use many apps that require these features, and thus it's not a fix, it's a workaround to a legitimate problem.

Turning all of that off to maintain an reasonable level of battery is not acceptable.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chefp:
Google Maps' location settings affect Google Maps, not necessarily other apps. Since you feel so strongly about it, maybe you could contribute to the open-source project.

Find another ROM that runs 30+ hrs with all the battery-sucking location options enabled. It's not rocket science or magic. All that stuff takes CPU cycles which consumes battery. We all want the battery to last forever but until you find an infinite power source that ain't happening.

so I just had a really weird thing happen in 4/7. Installed 4/7 rebooted after wiping cache/davlik with TWRP. Worked fine minus my chess game still having hiccups. Decided I would deal with it. Rebooted to install acid audio mod. Installed wiped cache/davlik. When I ran fix permissions in TWRP it crashed. Showed me the teamwin logo, and went to main menu. I'm on 3/31. Considering doing a full wipe to 4/5 to see if that might fix the chess thing.

Did a Darkside wipe,installed 4/5 and the chess game to see if it would still hiccup; it does. The rom itself hiccups sometimes as well.

First make sure you have libmtp installed. Connect your phone and type adb devices; it should have your phone show up if it works properly. If it doesn't get detected at all something is very amiss, but if you get a set of question marks as a result, it's a permission problem. I had the permission problem with my nexus, and now use it in PTP mode for it to work. I run Slackware, so I don't know exactly what to do in your case. Ubuntu has a much larger community, so I'm sure someone else has had this problem.

Just a note. I got my adb directly from the sdk kit, so again I don't know what ubuntu does when you download their stuff.
