I had several crashes on Alpha 1 in the gallery and Quickpic when opening a folder that contained videos. It seemed to only be certain videos because I would delete the new one I put in (TV shows), and the crashes would stop. Other videos would not crash it. It was pretty random. None on 8/30 so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Anyone else having NLP Google services wakelock with the 8/30 10.2 nightly? Device is deep sleeping but only about half the time that it should be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jadwv2210:
Just flashed the 8-30 nightly and as a few others have reported I'm having an odd issue with audio being played. It seems to only happen with music so it might be an issue with Apollo since I haven't tried any other players. There's a lot of crackling and static in any of the songs I play though. I haven't installed any mods and have only installed four apps, twitter Facebook, XDA, and snap chat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epapsiou:
Having issues with gallery too. So switched to quickpic and all is well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] apbarros:
Same thing with me, phone crashed while browsing the gallery.

I was having trouble with NowPlaying music player. My phone was acting really weird, would randomly stop playing music or randomly pause a song, I think one time I had to take the battery out and put it back in because everything was unresponsive.

Also, on a totally separate note, has anyone's softkeys just stopped working about 2 or 3 times a day, and the only way to fix it was with a reboot. I'm not sure if this is a CM bug or a Dynamic Notifications bug.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unteagle:
I've been having problems with the power widget toggles not turning off when they're supposed to be off. For instance, if I turn the GPS on to navigate somewhere and then use the pull down menu to turn it off it will just stay on. It will normally do this until I turn off the phone. This has also happened to me on 10.1 as well. I just downloaded the 9/1 nightly and my wi-fi won't turn off at all.

Also, my lockscreen will only appear the first 10-15 times after each boot, every other time after that it goes straight to the homescreen when I press the power button.

Got error message during nightly flash. I have the first 10.2 ROM and was trying to flash the 3rd one without wiping system data so that I can preserve all my settings and apps but it keeps on giving error. Could it be because in the first flash I used ClockworkMod Recovery ( as was originally suggested) and now I am using TWRP 2.6.1.0 touch recovery. Or must I wipe everything off in order for it work. If that's the case, will it be as so only for this rom update or for all subsequent nightly updates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mauix:
There shouldn't be any problems installing the current nightlies. I'm guessing you have a bad download. Check the MD5 number after downloading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
I've enabled USB mass storage mode by entering the following via terminal emulator:

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

reboot

Now I can install files via ADB from my computer. No problem.

What I'd REALLY like is to have the PC assign

drive

letters

to the SR so that I can transfer files without the need for application intervention (Airdroid, WiFi File Transfer, etc.).

Possible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
That mode was deemed unreliable and could corrupt files.

MTP is the new method. On Mac it is easy. PC, I have no clue...

New catlog of my bluetooth problem on 9/1 nightly: http://pastebin.com/X0MTPa3H

Same symptoms as before. When connecting with Media Audio (and Phone Audio) profile enabled, phone becomes sluggish, screen won't turn on, eventually crashes. With only Phone Audio enabled, no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
I think Bluetooth has been unstable for a while now... I don't use BT but others report issues daily .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
I haven't had the issue mentioned above with BT, but I still pretty much daily have the bluetooth service crash shortly after a second device connects, and you can't start it again, you have to reboot. If you don't reboot, it will hold a 'bluesleep' wakelock and drain the battery a lot quicker. It was pretty good for awhile on 10.1, the alpha 10.2 was great, but the nightlies are back to around June-ish BT behaviour, I'd say.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] holeindalip:
My Bluetooth won't turn on at all even after a reboot??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
Yeah, read that before. It's just a lot more convenient, and faster, for me to manipulate files via DOS commands rather than using a mouse. Drive letters make that possible. Spoiled by Embryo USB capabilities, but Embryo has its own issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
I got the exact same issues as rpr69.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pubcat:
I'm a little confused now...

I am using the custom recovery at the beginning of this thread, the one used for the alpha build.

Should I still be using this one or could I go back to CWM?

Or does it not matter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
CWM

I don't think there is anything "wrong" with using the first modified CWM. (The non-touch version...)

I got away from it as fast as possible as you are really putting wear and tear on your hardware buttons... (power, vol + and -) etc...

I think you would want to be on the latest greatest that is proven to work... I use TWRP but CWM is just fine to use...

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

I do not have Windows so I can't confirm this but I did a quick search on Google Play and found DavDrive. Seems like that is what you might want to try...

It is NOT USB Mass Mode... if the program works as it indicates, it might be an alternative for you... :)

Again, not sure if it works in DOS but will mount an IP address as a drive letter under Windows so in theory... it should work...

Google Play Download

Let me know if it works so I can let some other users know that were asking... Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Need a favor ...

Can someone (one person, one post) please summarize the list of outstanding issues with 10.2? I've been really out of touch for about a week now and we could really use a summary so we can open up tickets in our jira to start working defects.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack45:
Well, my friend, you've opened a new world for me (and others, I'm sure). DavDrive does work via mapping a network drive, giving me the ability to perform file transfers via DOS. Slower, but a viable alternative to WiFi and a mouse for file manipulation. There are other WebDAV solutions out there. If I find one more elegant, I'll post an update.

In any event, I found this as the reason USB has been vacated in favor of MTP for those interested in the details:

"It is a terrible interface, but the only reason they used it is because newer Android tablets/phones joined the Data and SD card partitions thus your apps and stuff are on the SD card, no more "16GB internal memory for files, 1GB ROM for apps" (Why people called it ROM, which stands for Read Only Memory, is beyond me but that's a different subject...) now you have 16 (or 32)GB of memory for apps, those multi-GB sized games, your music collection, and so on all together so you can uninstall apps for more picture/music/etc space or delete pictures/music/etc for more app space. Why this required the use of MTP instead of Mass Storage is because Android can't use FAT/exFAT/NTFS and that's all Windows reads, MTP is like a translator it takes Windows files and "translates" them for Android and visa versa, while as Mass Storage just disconnected the drive from the phone and handed it to the computer, requiring the computer to figure out the rest."

I was sure there were better alternatives but wanted to point you in the right direction...

CVD- is there a Linux open source library that we might be able to cherry pick in to give people the option above? I have not found anything within Android that would lead me to believe it is native... Sure would be nice as it is SUPER EASY to setup with the right software...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rpr69:
The main issue I've personally experienced are bluetooth related, but here is what I can glean from this thread, with either a quote from the post, or a paraphrase, and the poster(s):

1) the bluetooth service crashes, and then all bluetooth related apps will stop working, and it will hold a bluesleep wakelock until you reboot, which (for me) fixes it (rpr69 and others)

2) When connecting with Media Audio (and Phone Audio) profile enabled, phone becomes sluggish, screen won't turn on, eventually crashes. With only Phone Audio enabled, no issues. (irishpadres)

3) battery drain from Google services (solved since 08/31 nightly I believe) (many people)

4) quite a few complaints about gallery crashing, but seems to be related to corrupt media files (many people)

5) I've been having problems with the power widget toggles not turning off when they're supposed to be off. For instance, if I turn the GPS on to navigate somewhere and then use the pull down menu to turn it off it will just stay on. It will normally do this until I turn off the phone. This has also happened to me on 10.1 as well. I just downloaded the 9/1 nightly and my wi-fi won't turn off at all. (unteagle)

6) my lockscreen will only appear the first 10-15 times after each boot, every other time after that it goes straight to the homescreen when I press the power button. (unteagle)

7) Just flashed the 8-30 nightly and as a few others have reported I'm having an odd issue with audio being played. It seems to only happen with music so it might be an issue with Apollo since I haven't tried any other players. There's a lot of crackling and static in any of the songs I play though. I haven't installed any mods and have only installed four apps, twitter Facebook, XDA, and snap chat. (jadwv2210 and TheDiddler)

8) Focal images saved are rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise (many)

Edit:forgot one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] merlen:
I am on the 09/01 nightly. Bluetooth is also giving me some trouble. I haven't been able to use my bluetooth keyboard since cm 10. The phone detects the keyboard but is unable to stay paired or use as an input device. Let me know if that is the correct logcat.

To add onto the Focal problems, for me pretty much nothing works, and it's always crashing. PicSphere doesn't work because I can't take a picture to initiate the PicSphere, Video usually crashes, and whenever I double tap to take a pic, it crashes.

so... is cwm permanent or will we be able to flash with twrp in the near future?

cause i personally cant stand cwm, got soo used to twrp and going to be hard to go back, i had some bad experiences with it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
Well, that's it for now - we technically don't maintain the recoveries, so you'll have to talk to the folks that support them directly. This particular one is the stock CM recovery that we added external_sd support to and it is build with the proper SELinux capability to prevent the reboot of doom seen with the CM10.1 based recoveries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idtheftvictim:
Ohhh yeah, just saw this drop on g+. Downloading now, thanks for the hard work. Will report back once up and running
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
so flash it using the provided recovery then... Switch back to twrp. UNDERSTOOD SIR
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
If you do that, you are on your own. The 10.1 recoveries do not know how to deal with the SELinux capable file system properly. You can run into some major snags that way.

This recovery, although it's very basic, works just fine for flashing zips and taking backups. Plus, it is the only one right now for the Hercules and Skyrocket that correctly works with the new filesystem for 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
Oh alright. Guess no twrp then Lol. Thanks for the work! Appreciate it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] car vs driver:
No sweat man, I"m sure it's only a matter of time before the appropriate changes are made to TWRP and CWMR Touch. Our device is a bit of an oddball in how the storage volumes are setup, so this issue was really unique to us with 4.3

The only bug I've been able to spot so far is that there is still a reboot issue when accessing the external SD card from a gallery app. I can use quickpic just fine, but once I hit the SD card folder, the phone locks up and inevitably reboots.

Other than that, this is a very good alpha build of Android 4.3! Great work TeamChopsticks!

Man, I feel so late joining the 4.3 party. :p

Anyway, just flashing the CWM for CM10.2 now. Its not TWRP but as long as I can still revert back to my nandroid backup made with TWRP in case things go wonky, I'll be fine.

So far, CM10.2 alpha builds for Hercules runs great: feels a bit smoother than 4.2 and faster.

they removed fix permissions from cwm. Koush said it didn't really do anything . I think there is a zip you can flash to bring it back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
I think I was wrong. I was doing some testing with videos labeled mp4 that played on the phone, but if I uploaded to PC they weren't mp4. I downloaded some directly from web, and now I get FC with the gallery. I deleted them, and now things are back to normal, so I guess that is it. We can't have mp4 videos on this ROM. Sorry for the confusion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I flashed the latest nightly last night and focal worked at first but then ran into issues with it. I got error messages saying "unable to connect to camera" so it sort of works but its not 100%. At least in my findings.

TWRP has a Fix Permissions but I tend to agree with Koush, I think it's snake oil.

for those people who are reporting that mp4 doesnt work have you tried using mx video player or something to that nature one of those should work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
It was originally developed to fix a problem cause by moving apps to the SD card before it was natively supported by Android. Since then, there has been no need for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
Lol...Slim bean doesn't cause a reboot but you still can't play the videos with the gallery app..have to use MX player. Probably has something to do with focal because focal isn't included in Slim bean, but its included in every ROM that has the reboot issues.

Its funny cause every time I mention this bug, people quote my post like "wtf is this guy talking about". I have a bunch of videos downloaded off my dropbox from my iPad and those are what was causing the reboots. Once I took them off my phone everything was great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Now I'm really confused. I have a ton of files. The ones that gave me issues were recent adds. I went through all my files, and found some legit mp4 videos that play fine, and don't cause FCs. I have no idea what is the cause now. I even tried several gallery apps, and they all do the same. New adds FC, but files that have been on my SD card for months are fine.
