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?

I have been running the Petes nightly rom for a couple months now and have been loving it. However last night something really strange happened. I was watching tv and turned my screen on to unlock the phone and when I did I noticed about 3 force close messages and I never get fc. I tried to open other apps and almost all of them force closed. I rebooted the phone and same thing. I rebooted into recovery and chose the fix permissions option and when I rebooted it seemed better at first besides a few apps still fc. Then I noticed that all my homescreens were deleted except my default one which still had my app folders on it. I am running francos kernel with the updater. I have been on milestone 2 for about a week now and hadnt had any issues. It's almost like I did a wipe data on the phone because I had to sign back in to certain apps as well. Any idea for what could have happened? The only changes I made to the phone yesterday was updating 3 apps and I used the settings in francos updater to drop all the voltages down 25mv but I don't see how either could have done anything.
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?
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
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.

I was running the SGH-i747M with CWM 6.0.4.7 and testing out some 4.4.2 ROMs, I got another phone to play with now and I gave this one to my girlfriend but she doesn't like nightlies so I was trying to install a 4.2.2 or 4.3.1 stable ROM and they won't work. I read online that it might be due to the CWM being too new because it's support is for Android 4.4.x. So I downgraded CWM and that didn't work either. I ended up convincing her that nightlies aren't that bad and shes currently running Carbon but she hates flashing the new nightlies so I do it for her every few days or so. I've noticed though that this phone is acting up really weird since I tried to downgrade CWM and then install the current one again. Sometimes it reboots at random, I gave the phone to her with BAM 2.0 RC2 (I know, shame on me), and that was horrid, so I tried CyanogenMod and that was "okay" but she said it's boring and she wants more features, so I switched it to Carbon because that's what I'm running on my SGH-i317M and she seems to like that, but it's still acting really weird.
When I was using the SGH-i747M while I was waiting for the new display to come in the mail for my SGH-i317M, I was running BAM and the only thing was it was a battery hog, and ocasionally I would get a "blame tyler" error for some things but it was never repeatable, I switched to Carbon and I was running completely stable on the nightlies, I used it for my day to day and not one problem, after switching over to my SGH-i317M now running CarbonROM, still flawless, not a single problem, fast, good battery life, signal strength is always good, but the phone I was on, running the same ROM, is now glitchy as hell and she's talking about getting an iPhone 5S now.. guys you gotta help me here, I just got her to give up her iPhone 4 for this S3 I gave her, I need this phone working, it is a critical situation lol.
The camera app will take one picture, then the screen will freeze and when I close the app, it opens right back up with the same picture, when I completely close the app, it opens up saying can not conect to camera and the only solution is to reboot the phone. It randomly reboots on it's own some times, the battery doesn't last more then a few hours (between 2 to 3 hours depending on use and when I was using it on Carbon, I got 30 hours off of a single charge once, but the average was around 20 hours of use before it would die) and she was telling me while she's on high brightness but never full brightness, the phone gets really hot so there's something wrong from when I flashed an old CWM using Odin, and then flashed it back to the current one.
So how can I do some kind of full wipe everything and make everything better procedure? Does this exist yet? Is it a real thing?
I'm thinking some kind of recovery wipe, completely wipe everything except the boot loader so I can install a fresh copy of CWM using Odin, and then some kind of AOSP ROM that's stable but I think she likes Carbon now so we might just stick with the nightlies as long as these random force closes and random reboots stop, and the camera works, I mean, you can't instagram without a camera, so that makes this phone nearly useless for her. One picture, freezes, reboot the phone, opens picture from gallery, then hipsters it out, then shares it.. not exactly the seamless method she was looking for lol
Please help guys, I really don't want to see another iPhone laying around the house.. ugh..
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!
