Mic not working after unplugging wired handsfree

I have the following problem quite frequently. I would like to know if this is common and if there is a known workaround/solution:
1. Phone works normally
2. Plug in wired hands-free to make a few calls
3. Unplug wired hands-free
4. Mic does not work on subsequent calls (both incoming and outgoing calls)
5. A reboot resolves the issue
I performed the above sequence once before posting and I could not reproduce the problem. So, it seems to be an intermittent one.
I am using the stock hands-free that comes along with the Galaxy R retail box
Thanks

This is a problem on all Galaxy R. The headset jack is faulty. Plug the headset in and out once or twice and that should fix it. Hope it helped.

You mean this is a hardware problem on Galaxy R? Can't this be fixed with some firmware upgrade in future?

Oh yeah, that makes sense, I sometimes have to unplug and replug my headphones to make the play/pause button work. Just takes a bit of getting used to.

From what I had read, it is a hardware problem. But who knows. A majority of problems can be sorted out through software. Lets wait for ICS to make sure.

Buddy the headset jack is NOT faulty.
It is a bug in the GB version.

Buddy, the user who started this thread, was having the problem with the Device's/Handset's mic and NOT WITH the headset's/hands-free's mic.
So if you have a problem with your headset's mic...there is a good chance that it is a hardware related problem.
Please try another with different headset before going to SSC.
Btw, if you need to buy new headset, I'd recommend Samsung EHS64AVFWE (with 3 buttons & mic).
It comes with Galaxy Note but it works perfectly with our device too I'm using it!

Skype?

Ok some of us use it on our Android devices but who actually thinks they (Skype) are keeping up their end of the deal with Android as they do with say an iPhone, I for one on a HTC One S so not find that the app itself is very good mainly they audio and I've had no issues with it on my old iPhone and yes I know why use Skype on an iPhone when they have FaceTime but I did so anyway who actually likes it or do you think that Skype needs a few ANGRY Android users in their ears to give them some imput?

ok
You can use other app, don't bother your self with skype
you can use tango , viber & yahoo messenger...............ect
there bis so many alternatives to skype

And whats wrong with gtalk? lol.

Personally I feel like Skype just works really bad on the HOS for some reason.. cause when I use Skype on my Nexus7, the audio quality is a lot better even though I'm on the same network connection and everything..

I have exactly the same issue with my HOS. Skype doesnt work well on this phone. Audio quality is quite poor. I have used skype on my other devices (on same network), and didnt have any issue with audio quality. Only with this phone skype seem to have some issue.
I had galaxy ace 2 before this phone and skype worked well on that device. The audio quality was great.
Seem HOS has some software issue, hope it will be resolved in next software updates.
However Viber works very well on this phone, i tried it, audio quality was excellent (on wifi).

[Q] GT-P6810 JB 4.1.2 Stock Rooted MD3 USB Host problem

Just a minor bug I have noticed in this otherwise excellent ROM. It seems that the USB host isn't working correctly on my tab. It constantly disconnects and reconnects both with a USB drive and a mouse. I am using an el cheapo ebay adapter btw. This works fine on stock ICS and PAC. Incidentally, the Samsung keyboard works perfectly but the problem is duplicated when the adapter is plugged in to the keyboard. Another minor bug, (I am sorry of this has been asked before), but 5ghz wifi doesn't seem to work.
Anyone else flashed this and noticed these little bugs? Otherwise, this ROM is cracking, really smooth and even smart stay works!!
Cheers guys,
ATB,
Karlsbug

Still away and not yet able to flash.
What can say is that there are posts regarding 5GHz Wi-Fi band with the P6800 4.1.2 JB. This "bug" is probably related to the firmware itself or modem/region incompatibility. Some have been lucky to fix it with a simple factory reset, others not.
The USB dis/re-connect may be kernel and or mount point related. I don't know for sure until I can test and replicate.

After a busy week tonight was the only free night I had. I tried all of your suggestions, thanks for those, I couldn't get it to work. I think I followed all the steps correctly, no joy. So I just thought flash the deodex version, bingo! 5ghz appeared straight away. No problems with connection at all. I have just to test the usb host issue now, will update asap. All seems to working ok on the new version, multiwindow is good. Nice white background on settings, and no mini apps, excellent.

[Q] Volume mods for bluetooth, etc

Hello everyone, forgive me if this has been asked before, I searched and found nothing similar so here goes.... Just got new Verizon HTC ONE M8 on Saturday and love the phone but would love to know how to increase volume for bluetooth specifically but all volumes would be handy to boost if possible. Anyone know what system file(s) dictate volume levels? Thanks!

I just hooked up my Bluetooth to my ear and its pretty loud.

Had an HTC evo 4g lte on Sprint before this phone and it was much louder when connected to an in car Bluetooth system. That's why I'm asking how to make it louder.

You may consider using the "HTC car" app if it is available with the M8. It worked for me with the One (M7). See M7 post:

Screen brightness
The screen brightness seems to be rather low even when on 100%. Not sure if i just think it is or what.

I flashed an unofficial version of the Mahdi rom. It worked mostly OK but I lost root access for all root apps. It was still rooted because I then flashed an unofficial version of Cyanogen Mod. Again I lost root access for all root apps. I am on my third flash of Cm, all with the same problem. Apparently many people have had the same problem but I have yet to read of any real solution. Can anyone help me with this?

Im not sure if im thr only one that has noticed but, the volume from the loudspeaker seems to be a bit lower than that of the stock rom when it is set up to max volume. Anyone else has noticed it?
By the way, awesome work here, i really love this rom and ive been using it since the new kernel patch, flawless!

I've noticed that the vibration feedback is way low. And adjusting in in the sounds setting doesn't really help. Only have a few problems.
1. Phone can not charge while turned off; turns right back on
2. Can not send MMS messages; it sends but the person receiving them does not receive them lol.
3. Bluetooth apparently doesn't work for calls; you can however use it as speakers for media and such.
Thank you
