I'm on Syn-r50 as well.. You're using a hard wire not bluetooth correct? (as they had some problems previously with bluetooth that should be fixed now)
Does your Headphone mic not pick up (aka using mic in phone) or is any mic not working when you plug them in?
Cheers.

its been a big issue I've seen everywhere, a lot of headphones with controltalk don't work for calls and all. I've been going through headphones trying to find some that do. I'm now using the iBeats by Dre that come with the HTC Rezound and can confirm they work 100%. I'm running Synergy 1.7

It's hard wire I believe it can pick up and it pauses music but the call go to the phone

Yeah may be a question for the more technical savvy ROM people, there could be some drivers that never got included needed for the whole headohone thing.
Cheers.

Oh and also, did you do a dirty flash? I would do a full wipe/cache/dalv and reflash ROM. Normally helps a ton.
Cheers again.

I have this issue with my stock rom and its annoying as hell. Don't want to dish out the $$ for a BT piece and I love my handsfree bose wired headphones w/mic. It worked fine on my other phones but not on the S3, which seems to be a common issue. I wonder if anyone has gone to Verizon about this? I might swing by their store tomorrow.

I am on stock non rooted (yet) and I can tell you that my Skull Candy 50/50 can't be used for calls. Music listening only. But the headphones provided with the GSIII work. So based on what I'm reading, only certain headphones are compatible for calls.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Please

Crackle

FYI, watched a movie on crackle last night (Step Brothers). I hooked my phone up to my TV via HDMI, and it worked fine. the only issue was that I got no audio, so I had to connect the headphone jack to my Home Theatre System, and all was good from there.
had to sit through a commercial or two a few times, but that was it. streamed fine.

There is some noise in the recording but considering the scarcity of recorder apps, it can be used.

The thing is it records from speaker and not from line....
To simply put it, it records your voice only through the mic and the other person voice that is heard from the ear piece to the our Mic (you know how low it is)..and it modifies it somehow...
[It won't work if you stand in heavy traffic and speak]
So... other person voice is low... and it doesn't record actually from the line...
To prove my point, just plug in ear(head) phones while speaking and reduce your call volume, so that nothing can be heard outside except through the ear(head)phones..and try to record.
cm9 htc a310e

Sorry...I forgot...I used to record after plugging in the earphones.
with earphones plugged in, the recording is quite satisfactory.
without them the sound is very low.

i have same question :good:

Well I think we dont need to record each and every call. So we can just plug in the headphones for the calls which we want to record and use app. It works well with headphones.

We can't carry headphones everywhere we go.. especially in the work place

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).

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

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

Yes I sent MMS successfully. When flashing a beta ROM, that is one of the first things I test. Are you using stock messaging? Maybe try with Hangouts or another app.
