I am currently running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 on my Sprint GS3. I am running into a few issues, of which I have had over many builds. For one, my phone will random reboot when using it, while it happens rarely, it seems to do it at the most inconvenient times and I am left waiting for it to reboot for no reason. The next, and definitely most annoying glitch, is the "disconnect reconnect" issue with PCs. When connected to a PC, it repeatedly disconnects and reconnects and never stops this loop. I hear the disconnect/connect sound over and over until I actually disconnect the phone. Because of this, I am unable to add new music, photos, etc. At first I thought it was just the current build, but after updating to 10.2.1 from 10.2.0, and so on, nothing has really changed. I'm not sure what to do at this point other than just go back to the factory ROM. If any of you have any idea why this may be happening, let me know. Thanks in advanced.

That's an interesting experience, which I haven't had so far.

  • Did you dirty flash the rom or completely wiped your phone before installing?
  • Which modem version are you on?

I don't format the phone between cyanogenmod updates, but I do when installing a completely different ROM (factory -> Cyanogenmod). As far as the modem version goes, as of now, I am running LJ7. I believe that was on there by default, although I may be wrong. I did try others before (If I remember right) installing the original. I tend to have horrible reception in KC (everywhere actually), so I was hoping to fix it that way.

You're right, there's no need for completely formatting the phone between nightlies. However, your modem seems to be an older version. I believe the CM 10 based on MD4 and the CM 11 is based on MK3. You can verify this in their respective forums though.
My suggestion would be to download the latest modem and the CM 11 onto an external card. Format your phone completely. Install the modem then install the CM 11 + KK Gapps.
Let us know how it went if you go through it.
