Yep. Been running with my exFAT Sandisk 64GB for last the few weeks, no problem reading/writing, saving camera photos, playing music, backups, installs, etc. I'm still on 9/15 nightly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asacado:
Something I noticed that was really weird was the compass during gps test toolbox app, it wouldn't set a direction and the compass was spinning constantly, despite locking onto a few satelites. Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallingup:
The compass in this device has always had problems, even on stock tw it is not accurate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asacado:
Well on any TW I see the compass point north, but here it is actually spinning 360 even when I am locked on, weird. I am not cap'n jack sparrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miketoasty:
Try getting the latest GApps that was an issue that happened when using the 4.2.2 GApps.

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

This happens to me as well. On stock Touchwiz if I stand still so does the compass but on CM it just spins around, kind of funny opening maps and seeing your arrow just spinning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toprunner2786:
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this with non-TW based roms, but I seem to not get as good coverage as I did with the TW based roms.

Seems like the CM and AOKP roms have a harder time falling back onto 3G and 1X data modes. go between good 4G coverage areas and poor 3G and 1X coverage areas. When running any version of CM or AOKP, I am without any data signal for a lot of the time, but once I am in town, I have a solid 4G connection. When running stock or CleanROM, I seem to grab 3G or 1X a lot more often.

Any ideas for a reason behind this? I have not ever really taken any signal strength dB data to prove this, it is just based off of me noticing the little 4G, 3G, and 1X signal icons. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Yes same here. Interestingly it doesn't seem to impact navigation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RKmd:
Completely agree with this finding - I think it has to deal with how our RIL was reverse engineered to work with AOSP-based ROMs. Anyone have additional thoughts regarding this? I go through extended periods without a signal (which negatively impacts my battery life) at my work places.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wildcat117:
Short answer is AOSP displays signal differently than TW. There's an anandtech article about it somewhere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] toprunner2786:
I would agree with you that it is just a display issues, however I do experience a significantly higher "dead zones" with no data coverage where I do have some coverage with stock or a TW rom.

Not the end of the world, but i just find myself gravitating back to TW roms because of the more reliable coverage. I am always hoping that I will get a 4g tower near work and eliminate the issue altogether, but no luck as of yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qman66:
4g was working the first day i flashed then i started getting random data drops now i cant even get 4g back. i've tried toggling between 3g 4g reboots and not more 4g. any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
Yeah i had to flash back to tw because of the random drops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asacado:
Got a fix on the compass in the 26 build, but strangely, I am getting calls that ring once and drop immediately out of every 2-3 calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Breezer23:
Wish SnapChat video worked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spiyder:
I also had ril issues: data drops, weak SIG, etc. I extracted the vzw ril files from the latest Clean ROM (it has the original Samsung ril files for vzw, tmo, att as its a multi carrier install) and placed them in system/lib to overwrite and changed permissions to rw-r-r, reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, reboot, let sit 5 min with no touchie touchie. All smooth for me now. (No get mad at me if you brick, this is what worked for ME).

Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
hmm...not a bad idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Flashed 9/27. No RIL/signal issues for me so far, but the signal graph is still scaled very conservatively. Only other thing i've noticed so far is that 1080p setting in the vid camera now works (it did not in 9/18). Still no resolution setting for FFC so i assume its still 640x480 :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ikithme:
It does, go in to settings and change your camera settings to rotate 180.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
Currently running 9/28 nightly, with stock kernel, clean install. On boot up, phone will not connect to 4g. Have to toggle airplane mode on/off to connect to 4g. This started about 9/22 nightly. Never had this happen previously.

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks

Edit1: just found out that phone calls are going straight to voice mail.

Edit2: Reinstalled 09/19 nightly and everything is working correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwinger79:
Anyone else seeing massive battery spikes for Google Play Services? Running the 9/27 build and didnt see any issues prior to updating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Me too...I had to uncheck use WiFi and mobile networks in location services
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Very strange. I've taken several phone calls today with no issue and still no signal issues. I'm on 9/27. Regardless there's obviously some inconsistencies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jwadejr9:
Yeah. I'm on 9/27. Everything has been great. Phone calls, WiFi, data, texts. All flawless so far. Battery was great today...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] termleech:
Android OS seems to be back up again for me. Play services seems a little higher than normal but not huge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
The sound is so quiet even with DSP manager on. Is there a way to increase the volume more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spiyder:
Google says dont worry about data spikes in play services. Its just new NSA code commits needing to ping government servers to relay your location, sms and call data ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] srzero88:
Is or has anyone addressed the issues of some phones not sending messages but all other data works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qwerty017:
I just found out something and wanted to know if this is new or has been around for awhile and I just never noticed it. I found out that pressing the home button 4 times in a row causes the colors to invert.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rippedwarrior69:
Data and messages work good for me. And never noticed the color invert.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ikithme:
Looks like its new, I'm running an older build and it doesn't work :\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miketoasty:
Interestingly enough, I was trying the CM 10.1 stable release and didn't have this issue. I wander if it was something with 4.3 that is causing this or maybe something wrong with the CM 10.2 code?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asacado:
The issue for what I've seen has resolved itself, but I am still getting call drops on the latest nightlies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaPoets:
Just jumped over here from CleanRom and I am very impressed with how stable this 4.3 release is on these nightlies. I installed 9/28 nightly and so far so good. Very smooth and fluid. No errors or hickups after the 1st few hours of use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
Anyone else having issues connecting to the android market? Updated to 9/28 nightly, felt like apps were missing, and I can't reach the market.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chachi:
Maybe run titanium backup market doctor purge and then market doctor repopulate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
Data drops. I was experiencing it too. Cycle airplane mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nathan_barstow14:
I'm on the latest nightly and am unable to do this. When I updated I even wiped the system partition and then flashed the 10/1/13 nightly. Maybe I'll have to do a full wipe of data and all in order to make it work? Can't find a setting for it either... ideas?

I think this is a great idea. I really miss on CM7, on my dInc, the built-in feature (with widget) to turn the entire screen a different shade of color. The red tint was very nice for night-use. I also really miss the ability to have a real "Dark theme" for the Messaging app. I wish I could make it black with white writing again... this options to press the home button 4 times to invert colors is about as close as it's going to get it seems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] qwerty017:
Looks like I was mistaken and this is a feature of Devil Kernel not CM. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilila:
I'm using my i605 on T-mobile. For the most recent nightly build, I've to dial *#*#4636#*#* to enable GSM mode, also cell signal strength is not dispayed properly.

Well, changed a few items in build.prop and everything is fine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KnightCrusader:
I am using 10/1, and everything has been pretty smooth so far. Was on the 9/23 build and had horrible problems with data cutting out. So far, so good. :)

The only complaint I have with CM 10.2 is the loss of the power widgets. The Quick Access Ribbon is just not the same. That and I like toggling the brightness level from the toggle between 100% and dim, and not dealing with auto or the slider at all. Just nitpicks and personal preference issues at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thebopshoobop:
You may want to try the ThrusHolo Black theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.template.theme.ThyrusHoloBlack

It provides excellent dark themes for lots of apps, including messaging, gmail, keep, Swype, and Google now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] interceptor_1972:
Hmm. Noticed the battery drop issue today. On the 9/28 build and battery life seemed great yesterday, even with the phone restoring all the apps and such. But today, unplugged the charger at 7am and haven't done much with it other than just some email and Facebook browsing, and around 2:55, it's already down to 40%. Typically, with more use of the phone (some games, browsing, reading books, etc.) it doesn't get this low this fast. Google Services and Android System have both spiked up to 28% followed by the Screen at 17%. Could this be from the GPS not getting a lock causing a spike in battery use? Also, just a few minutes back, the phone wouldn't wake up from sleep and rebooted itself. Anyone else notice this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] audiophizile:
I 2nd this. This theme rocks. I used travp's inverted messaging on 4.2.2 as well. dont know if it works on 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dieselhomey:
The nightly that are on the setup - - > cyanogen nightly update. Can they be flashed over top of the current version or new install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwinger79:
Running 10/1 nightly and cannot copy between internal and external storage. Always says insufficient space on external, which has roughly 16GB free. Seemed to work fine on 9/27 build. Anyone else seeing this and possibly figure out root cause?...or am I just losing my mind???

Worth noting...I have tried using both CM File Manager and Root Explorer. Removed SU rights for both, re-added, still issues.

EDIT: Just updated to 10/2 and not having any issues with internal to external storage copies. Looks like its fixed, or Im just a dip**** and was doing something wrong on the 10/1 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
It's not you. I had the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kisypher:
The "black screen" graphical issue and Netflix not working seem to be the only problems that I have found. Of course everyone uses their phone differently so I'm sure experiences may vary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
same here.... just clean installed, and now it's updating all my apps. once it's done I'm going to shut it off, and turn it back on. praying that it works. Otherwise I'll be using my iPhone all weekend and just ignore the Note for a bit.

edit............

Yup still doesn't work. Fresh install. Boots up the first time. shut it down before it does anything, turn back on, hangs at samsung screen.

What was the last day of updates that was 10.1? I'll have to roll back to 10.1 or stock because this is a no go at all. I was hoping this issue has been resolved and honestly wonder why it's affecting some of us, but not all of us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wildstang83:
Peculiar. Sorry my advice didn't work for you.

Before you go back to 10.1, maybe you could get a logcat from your device as it tries to boot up from a reboot. Pass it along to sbrissen. Surely there might be some useful information there to help fix the issue in later versions.

Also, here is the link to the last 10.1 build: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/37910/cm-10.1-20130813-NIGHTLY-i605.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
unfortunately, I don't have time right now. I should have been on the road from DC to Boston almost three hours ago, but have been doing other stuff and messing with my phone.

Just tossing the final build of 4.2.2 on my phone and leaving it alone, until this gets better. Just downloaded Slacker Radio to my iPhone, so at least I'll have something working that'll keep the jams going, even if it's not Google Music.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Do remember that the first reboot after the initial setup takes a good 20 mins...seems as if it is stuck at Samsung screen...but be patient
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
Have you tried wiping the internal sd card during the wipe before installing the rom and gapps. if not, give that a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Came from 8/12 nightly and no issues upgrading. Netflix seems fine too. Black screens once in awhile, bit pretty rare. Audio still not as loud as stock.. Guess that will never get fixed.

Process for me:

-downloaded cm 10.2 nightly

-downloaded 8/13 gapps

-rebooted into twrp 2.6.0.1

-wiped system, cache, dalvik

-installed cm 10.2 nightly

-installed gapps

-rebooted, all ran fine with data intact
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kisypher:
Did you have to do anything at all special to get Netflix streaming? I did a complete clean install and can't for the life of me get Netflix working correctly. And by that I mean the Netflix app installs and opens but when I click on a movie it just sits and endlessly tries to buffer. Hulu and YouTube work perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
OK.. I lied. I had been using it with chromecast which worked fine, but streaming on phone itself doesn't. Now that I think about it, I don't believe it was working on 10.1 either, I just never cared BC I was only using chromecast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] strikeir13:
Google the Xposed framework and Netflix module, that is how I get it to work. There is a new version out for 4.3 if you're on that, make sure you get the right one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
Is it out yet? I thought that just a patch was out for xposed for 4.3 and new real version was coming next week or something..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danaff37:
Do you change the io scheduler on your phone? The last time I had problems like this, this fixed it. Noop and deadline are the ones that gave me problems like what you are describing. Now I just stick with device default (row on this device )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kisypher:
I ended up just using the same xposed framework apk and Netflix module I use for CM10.1. To get it to work I installed SU from the play store and updated the binaries and now Netflix works perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Does anyone know if there are any kernels working for 4.3? Something to use to bump up the volume a bit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Did you try using stweaks to do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
Plasma kernel and STweaks? Or is STweaks compatible with the baked in kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vondis:
Still no navbar? Any plans of ever implementing it? Curious why only note doesn't have it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lodingi:
The installation instructions on the first page tell you not to restore your data from Titanium Backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miketoasty:
Because we have physical nav buttons? Seriously though, any reason why you would want it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vondis:
I like them. Its a option on the s2,s3,s4 but not the note. Options are nice. Just curious why this phone gets left out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nathan_barstow14:
Thanks! This is almost exactly what I was looking for. I don't care for the blue accents (I'd prefer stock green or red), but the rest is great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
How are the nightlies here compared to AOKP 9/28? In your guys' opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bL33d:
This seems better then the latest release 10.1 thanks for this rom :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dieselhomey:
Update to the 10/3 nightly and everything has been working smoothly

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

BTW to answer my own question and hopefully answers other who didn't know.... You can flash nightly builds over top of you existing cyanogen nightly build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Just needed some help. I wiped dalvik/cache. I installed ROM and gapps (both the correct ones) when I got to the welcome screen I kept getting "unfortunately UI has stopped over and over. I'm coming from a tw ROM. One more thing, when I went to reload my back up from titanium it showed zero apps backed up. I reloaded a fresh tw ROM and it showed 104 apps ready to be restored. Is there a way I can load my apps? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr_acula:
My guess would be you dirty flashed TW to aosp. You have to wipe data. I actually wipe internal sd as well, just to ensure no issues. After backing everything up to my external sd of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwinger79:
Check the MD5 on your CM download. Boot to recovery and do the following:

Factory Reset/Wipe

Install CM

Install GApps

Factory Reset/Wipe

Reboot

Once phone comes up, download Titanium. Go into Settings->Preferences->Backup Folder Location. Hit Detect and it should find your previous backup. The path to your current backup actually changes when upgrading to Android 4.3, so this should fix it. Just restore your Apps, without app data, to ensure you dont have issues moving forward.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
I don't dirty flash anything and I have all necessary back ups

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

Thank you very much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr_acula:
You said you wiped dalvik/cache.....that's a dirty flash. You said nothing about wiping/formatting data so that's what I assumed and that's what could easily cause your issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
I should have been clearer then. My mistake. I have everything resolved now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Good lord the 10/3 nightly is fantastic. CM has come a long way since I had my s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miketoasty:
So sbrissen, is there anything you can extract from the latest leaks that may help with performance/aesthetics with CM 10.2? Just wandering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dr12volt1338:
What is everyone doing about WiFi tether?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cam30era:
You need to be more specific about your question. The native WiFi tether built into the ROM works perfectly for me.

Anyone experiencing a fast draining battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tophaholic:
Battery life is the best for me compared to any other ROM...that too on stock kernel. Try diagnosing what's draining ur battery...maybe a rogue app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
OK cool. I'm coming from a two ROM . it just feels like my battery is draining quickly. I'm using greenify and wakelock detector and nothing looks out of place. I just loaded 10/3 nightly this morning so maybe it needs to settle.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

One more thing, I can't get my videos and music to play that are on my memory card. I used es file and they are all there. Is there a way to repair the path to get to them thru a player app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
What's the more stable nightly in your guys opinion 10/03 or 10/04
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
I'm coming from touchwiz ROM so I'm not to familiar with aosp but this morning I was running 10/4 and I was having issues. I dirty flashed 10/3 and its been stable all day. The only issues I'm having is my volume.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thatdudebutch:
Yeah with all due respect best not to comment on things with generalized statements like that if not really familiar. 10/4 had a few translation updates and minor tweaks to settings and works fine.. nothing in it would make it inherently "unstable" in comparison to 10/3. Have experienced no issues on either of them..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] whoot:
Yeah, that's been happening with me as well. Hopefully it gets fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dooku77:
Was just giving my opinion was all. On some roms , older builds are sometimes more stable than newer ones. If one isn't allowed to give their input here, then there is no point to responding to people. I understand what you are saying but it seems that there are a lot of new people who don't know anything about flashing ROMs let alone what nightly builds are. When I use to flash cm ROMs on my s3 last year older nightlies were sometimes more stable than the newer one. I don't believe I mentioned that 10/4 was "unstable", I merely mentioned the fact that I personally had an issue with it. Each device reacts in its own way to certain ROMs and that was my experience. I was on a tw ROM that I used from b14 all the way up to b22. Some guys preferred b18 or 19, some stayed at b14 and some went right to the newest b22. I don't mean to fire off a lengthy reply, but I was merely answering a members question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
I asked for "opinions" so he gave exactly what I "asked" for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thatdudebutch:
No problem, rereading it that may have come out wrong. Didn't mean to sound abrasive certainly meant no disrespect and your input is appreciated. Glad you're enjoying AOSP!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickhex89:
Flashed and using 10/3 nightly and loving it; super smooth and stable, sound quality and picture quality is great, won't know how battery life is until tomorrow it's currently charging but... so far, all in all, fantastic.
