URGENT. Phone rings people and they can hear me but i cannot hear them - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey every body.
I'm having a nightmare with my s3.
Back at the start of April I changed my from from stock to cyanogen mod 9.1.
It was rooted prior to this and never gave any issues.
Cyanogen 9.1 worked perfect until today. I'm not sure if its an issue with the ROM or the phone
Symptoms are if I call somebody there us no dial tone but I can tell when they answer because the timer starts timing the call but I hear nothing.
They can hear me alright but that's it.
I tried flashing back my stock from but the phone won't recognize the next SD card.
Can anyone help please. I need this phone working
Thanks

Looks like the issue sorted itself out on its own accord.
Can anyone shed some light on what to do if it does it again?

I have got the same issue. I don't know why is it happening, but I have the solution.
###
Turn ON the screen lock sound in the audio settings. Restart your S3. Thats it. Keep it on.

[Q] Official ICS Notification Issue

I'm not sure why but my notification sounds will stop working at a random times. I have to restart my phone to get them working again. I'll have text messages and email without a peep from my phone. Notification volume is at Max and will even play the default tone when adjusted but will not play a notification sound or vibrate for any event until I restart.
I can also now confirm that both my at&t GSIIs with ICS do this but mine seems to be more frequent.
Anyone having this issue?

have ya done a factory reset? Pulled battery for a few? checked the water things inside the phone?
all **** at&t will ask you to do.
Factory reset will most likely fix, or its just the fact that your running a stock at&t build.
I've done all of the above and no a factory reset didn't fix it.
Also my phone is not the only phone this issue is affecting. Both of my GSIIs are doing it plus the other folks if you look at the other forum posts.

I wonder the same thing. Why do people think this place is the help desk? Especially for phones running stock. Boggles the mind it does.

no sound 4.2.

Hi everyone!
I am experiencing some strange problems and I am hoping that someone could help me as I have tried everything i knew so far.
I experience this problem on every 4.2 ROM such as Supernexus, Temasek Cyanogenmod etc.
Every time I restart my phone (GT-i9300) no one can hear me during a call and I can't hear nothing either. The call is placed but there is no sound.
I have tried deleting everything(internal memory, cache, dalvik..) reflashing several times still the same, flashing other basebands, still not working.
This does not happen on ROMs based on Samsung offical firmware.
Thank you!
This is a known issue, use search.

[Q] Slim PAC_4.2 In-call Microphone Muted

EDIT: The thread topic should have been "Microphone/Audio" since I haven't checked if the other side can hear me or not.
I remember that I have seen this problem before but I have been reading whole rom development threads and haven't found where I have seen it before. So, here it goes.
I'm using 4.2 based Slim PAC rom.
Whenever I'm on a call and I receive another call and when the second call disconnects, the audio gets muted.
I am unable to hear anything from the on-going call.
Also, sometimes, there is no audio when I receive a call. This happens rarely and randomly.
I was wondering if there is a fix for this problem available, possibly as a flashable zip?
Thanks.

I guess this problem is on all custom roms. I had reported it for PA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44776025&postcount=35
But I guess its not a serious issue for others

I tried this ROM. Its really nice and I want to have it on my device but my problem still remains there. I m only able to use till android 4.1.2 versions. Anything beyond that causes this Bluetooth call waiting issue. I m really missing upgrades . it's strange not to get only call waiting notification over Bluetooth. All the rest of the sounds are OK.

I am having the same problem. Tried many ROMs (Cyanogenmod, Jellybam, Omnirom, Revolt,...) but anything above 4.1.2 leads to this strange issue. At first i thought it was the Bluetooth device thats why I tried several of those as well (Plantronics, LG, Samsung, Bose,...) and its the same every time.
I really can't get behind this and never found anypne with a simillar issue. I have pretty much resigned myself to always having 4.1.2 until i've seen this thread. Now i have hope, please don't crush it.
Is there anybody out there who has any idea how to solve this?
Anything? I hate to be stuck on JB.

Make sure when you are switching from Speaker mode, you switch into "Handset Earpiece", and not something else like a connected Bluetooth. Also, be sure you didn't accidentally press "Mute" to mute the microphone.

Funny I had the same problem with my old phone (Z3v), one reason I got a new one before the warranty expired, never figured out why or how to fix it, new phone works fine in that respect.
Sorry not much help.

advance calling? but how? can u please tell me
Can you go into the service menu and test this out? Look in the section on here "Tips and Tricks" for how to access the service menu.
*#*#7378423#*#* as if you are dialing that number.
ya.. tried... they are working well... the problem with switching them while in a call...
I've flashed this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-call-recording-mod-t3102277 to activate call recording.... may be this is infecting....
Can we undo flashing?
That thread doesn't even list the z3V. You must be carefulwhat you flash.

Why do you need this? There are probably plenty of other alternatives, but this is most likely not going to be helpful for you. If you want to revert the issue, flash back the stock Lollipop.
ya .... I've done it. but restore didn't help. anyway successful!
