    5. Bluetooth audio broke for me going from beta3 to beta4. Resynced with car, taking calls works, Ican have handsfree conversation. but playing audio music doesn't. Sometimes bt link will break and audio comes out of phone speaker so Iknow its a bt issue . Most of the time bt link works but no audio through car speakers. Subaru.

    6. After upgrading from a fresh and working install of the previous beta, I found the Market app was missing. Even worse, upon trying to install it again via the Market's website, it says my device is not compatible and refuses to download it.

      Anybody else getting this?

      1. Did you flash gapps after flashing Beta 4?

      2. No, I did not this time. I noticed it was the same 0429 version as I had installed for the past month before and declined another reinstall. But that makes a lot of sense now. I am an idiot. Hehe. Thanks.

    11. Just suffered my third reset where it loads to the main screen, and all the sudden back to the CM9 load screen loads back in a non stop loop. This happens not at booting up the device but after the device has ran for several hours.

    12. I'm noticing that my bluetooth range is degraded in beta 4. When I switch back to my beta 3 back I don't seem to have a range problem. Anyone else noticing that?
