CM10.2 - nothing but problems - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I've been using nothing but CyanogenMod ROMs on my phones since my Epic, and have always liked the CM roms.
I was running CM10.1.3 until CM10.2 was released. Never had any problems with 10.1.3. In the past, even the RC's have been pretty much daily driver material, but with 10.2, when i flashed the RC, I had nothing but trouble. FC's all over the place. I figured it was probably because I 'dirty flashed' 10.2RC over 10.1.3, but since at the time, i didn't feel like wiping and reloading everything, i reverted to my backup of 10.1.3 until 10.2 Stable was released. When Stable came out, I wiped the phone, cache and davlik 5 times each before flashing 10.2, then re-installed all apps from play. I only restored my sms/mms and call logs.
Since going to 10.2, I have had nothing but FC's and reboots. It has spontaneously forgotten all of my email accounts, lost all my text messages and sometimes takes several tries to get it to boot (hangs on boot). There isn't an app that hasn't FC'd - dialer, messaging, gosms pro, e-mail, to highlight a few, have all had problems crashing, and when they start crashing, I have to reboot the phone for anything to work. If i use the built in torch function, i generally have to pull the battery to get the phone to work again.
BLE also doesn't seem to work, and with the overall problems, I don't know if its because it's just not working in CM in general or if it's related to the rest of the problems I'm having.
Is anyone else having similar problems, and/or does anyone have any thoughts as to why I'm having so many problems? How close to 'Daily Driver' material are the CM11 nightlies?

Just curious, you are flashing the correct gapps right? That gave me issues before.

The one I used is 'GApps_Core_4.3.zip'

Camera Freezing

Whenever I load up any app that involves the camera about 3-8 seconds in the application my phone freezes, cannot go to homescreen, menu and back button vibrations stop.
I am currently on 10/21 AOKP and it's been happening ever since I can remember like 9/14 or 8/14 of CM10 Preview.

Have you returned to stock to verify it isn't hardware related?
I have had a few small glitches on AOKP, but they have all been resolved by doing a FULL wipe. I use CWM and have found that multiple wipes tend to be more effective along with formatting /system and /data.
Bump .

Flashed 10/28 task ROM today. Camera didn't work. Searched. Saw that some had suggested simply rebooting. Worked for me.
I too have this issue with my camera app.
Tried a different one from the play store as well.
Tried not restoring apps from TB.
After I do a fresh rom flash, the camera seems to work flawlessly for around a day with some reboots in between.
Then after said time, I go to try it and it locks the phone up which I then have to do a hard reboot.
I've noticed this since the October AOKP releases, Paranoid and just tried the latest SLIM BEAN rom which are all built off of AOKP and CM so I wonder if its an AOKP issue for select (unlucky) users.
I've been trying to narrow it down as to when it happens or what changes, but so far its hard to pinpoint.
I suppose my next try would be to see if CM does it then perhaps that would indicate that its a AOKP issue

[Q] Camera keeps freezing

How do I thaw it without damaging the device?
Wild guess here, go to apps management and clear data?
Did you try any free camera app from market n check if that too is freezing?

Random rebooting?

I've had a 2013 Nexus 7 since it came out, and I never really had any issues with random reboots for the longest time. I had even rooted and was running a custom ROM/ kernel, and I had no issues.
It seemed to start once I had installed a different ROM/ kernel, while I was trying new stuff out just for kicks. I started getting random reboots, and I thought it was just the particular ROM/ kernel combination. Figured it was a bug that would get fixed in future updates, so I just tolerated it for a while. But, it persisted through the ROM and kernel updates.
So eventually, I switched ROM and kernel for something brand new, thinking I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Nope, still got random reboots. I've jumped around to some other ROM/ kernel setups over the last couple weeks, and no matter what I'm on, I still get random reboots.
It seems to mainly happen while I'm using Chrome (though, in fairness, a majority of what I do is browsing the Internet, so...), but it's also happened once while in the camera app, and also once while the tablet was "asleep" while casting a video to my Chromecast.
It's just getting kind of annoying, at this point. Last night, it rebooted four times in the span of about 45 minutes. Is this a known issue? Are there any fixes for this?
I'm having a similar issue. I run default 4.4.4 and have found no pattern to why its rebooting.
I found a possible solution of switching to ART (instead of dalvik) in developer options. Not sure why this should work, but the tablet hasn't rebooted last day using this. Along with a factory reset (which hasn't helped), I have no real solutions. Next step for me is to reflash the default ROM again to see if this makes a difference.
Any extra tips would be appreciated.

Anyone using CM12 Nightly 2015-01-21?

I have never really installed any of the nightly's because I hated setting everything up and reinstalling everything.
I just finished setting up my phone after about an hour and a half (yeah I know I got a lot of customizations I like to do on Apex launch etc)
So far it's not as buggy as it seems (unlike my Note 4 unofficial builds) anyone else using this version? I know they come out every few days, do some of you just flash over it without wiping anything except dalvik and cache?

CM v11 M12 vs XNG3CAO1L7 vs NIGHTLY

Is anyone besides me still using this phone? I'm impatiently waiting for a 2015 Nexus or carrier neutral/Project Fi capable Motorola.
For the most part my phone works fine and does what I need it to do. I've been running v11 M12 since its release without any serious issues EXCEPT...
Lately I've noticed after a few days the phone will slow to a crawl. I'll open Running Apps and see a bunch of apps restarting at one time. Only a reboot will resolve the issue. I'm not running any obscure or obviously misbehaving apps and everything works fine for a few days. It doesn't appear to be 4G/WiMax related (turning it off doesn't resolve the issue).
I flashed the last milestone build, XNG3CAO1L7, without a factory reset and it seemed really buggy right away. I'm trying the latest NIGHTLY right now and it also seems a little buggy. I'd rather not factory reset, but I will if that is what it takes to resolve my issue.
Just curious about the status of anyone else running these builds. Thanks!
