[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gue22:
Before release I read that one would have to buy the MDR-NC31EM (a fourth contact on the 3.5 mm jack for the second mic) as an extra, but I guess competitive pressure made them appear out of the box! <g>

Don´t know of any other special headset like that.

Think Sony spilled the marketing beans on this feature. Almost no reviews mentioned this unique feature, and when they did, then practically only in passing.

Anyone who has a commute on public transport should check out active noise cancelling headphones! I love ´em. Filter out ambient noise and loud people with idiotic conversations. <yippih!>
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gue22:
I´ve been owning the QC3 for almost two years and they are great.

I was a bit p*ssed when the cable developed a problem after a little more than half a year, but when I hit the right guy at the local Saturn / Mediamarkt here they swapped it without a tone. (The incompetent one before told me we´d need to return the whole gadget set and my answer was: "No, you will have to pry the QC3 from my cold, dead fingers. I rather buy a cable at whatever Bose price!" And you know that´s quite a statement! <rofl>)

For this summer I bought QC20i and was awed that the in-ears cancel out more than the on-ears!!!!! I only hope the cabling lasts longer than that of the IE2 I owned before!

So Sony lost out for now, but I may "need" another Android gadget soon. Who knows... <g>
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gue22:
Actually - as said above - the Bose QC20i in-ears cancel out a lot more than the QC3 on-ear ones with the passive dampening advantage. And the QC3 sound a bit murky while the QC20i got brilliant heights even WITH active noise cancelling -- which is said to hamper quality.

And they QC20i work w/o NC with a dead battery. Well, they oughta, cuz you can´t swap the battery. The teeny tiny spare battery for the QC20 was 50 bucks!

So the jury is out again who will be the next winner.

Guess the QC20 will earn their keep as double-duty ear warmers for winter.

The QC20i for the rest of the time for ALL mobile gadgets.

The Z2 waiting in the wings as a possible replacement for the iPhone. (Watch out, Apple!)

Or the next gen with Bluetooth AND active noise cancelling.

Having fun

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toncij:
Problem is I don't get any noise cancellation. For example, now I hear crickets. Putting earphones in my ears and having phone detect and use NC, nothing has really changed. I've tried both NC modes (one with music sign and one without)... turned on youtube video, still nothing. The only benefit is from earphones actually being in my ears, but the same effect I get with regular $40 earbuds like QuadBeat 2.

I wish if I could somehow test if there is maybe a problem with my earbuds, but so far - effect is nonexistent.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beowulf6:
I never owned any noise cancelling headphones before the Sony MDR-NC31EM so i can't compare.

They don't cancel out every small noise. So if i am home and there it is relatively quiet i don't notice much difference when enabling the noise cancellation on the z2.

However if the TV is running, driving by train etc. the difference is huge. It can still be heard but it is not annoying anymore when hearing music.

at work with some normal monotone cooling sound from PCs the noise is also nearly completely reduced.

I am not sure but i think the noise cancellation does not work very good for a higher pitch noise. So maybe your crickets do make a too high pitch.

Also one thing i once noticed was when the train door closed with a very loud bang i got a loud crack sound on my headphones which was not really great and really frightened me in that moment. I guess that was just too loud and suddenly to cancel out.

I would say for the price it is a definitive 10/10 if you own the Z2. But i am not sure if more expensive headphones can cancel more.

Using it with my notebook however does not work as it seems it cancels the played sound out again.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gue22:
If you don´t immediately hear the difference on a plane or train or tram there is something wrong.

Crickets are not exactly the best example. Low frequency continuous street noise is it, not the single car.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gue22:
TV is a still better use case than anything else. If I don´t want to be distracted by some series my girl friend watches I put on the Bose, turn on music and turn away from the TV -- and I got my island.

Guess it would take a lot more processing power to catch the higher frequencies and the higher I guess they are harder to match and cancel out.

Interestingly the in-ear QC20i dampen most, but I don´t think they dampen (much) more than what I heard from a very brief test with the Sonys.

What goes for the Bose QC20i is the above use case: Hook ´em up to anything / the notebook and cancel out the anything else / TV. You can´t do that with the Z2 buds.

But the QC20 are almost half the price of a Z2.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beowulf6:
Thats not true.

At least here in Germany if i look up the QC20 they cost 279 € !!! compared to 38 € of the Sony headphones.

Ohh i see you meant the Z2 itself. Sorry. I was talking only about the headphones supported for the Z2. Of course the phone itself is more expensive.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toncij:
So far I had no result with:

- air conditioner

- crickets

- street noise (typical city noise coming from the outside, I don't expect it to cancel police/ambulance, but noise certainly)

- friend's PC cooling (my PC is silent under 30dB)

- blue switch mechanical keyboard typing

- coffee shop

...

what else to test?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beowulf6:
Are you sure you have the noise cancelling headphones with the Model-Name "MDR-NC31E" ?

Because there where headphones in my package. But they didn't supported noise cancellation and had a different model name.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toncij:
I hope I don't look that dumb... :cyclops: - yes, of course, MDR-NC31E. Even the phone auto puts those in "noise cancelling headset" mode. There are two icons then (3). ON, ON with ♪ next to it and OFF.

Check this, not even this is reduced. Not a tiny bit. http://www.coffitivity.com/

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] knite75:
Hello

I have a Macbook Pro 17 with resolution 1920x1200. It's beautiful with no pixelation at all.

However, with my Note 12.2 with resolution 2560 x 1600, I can see pixalation.

What gives?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rayone:
Bcos the screen also has a white subpixel (pentile [RB][GW] subpixel) which makes things a little blurrier, but also "supposedly" makes it brighter and easier to read in sun light.

http://www.nouvoyance.com/technology-what.html

It supposedly uses less power... but in reality it's just cheaper to make bcos it's just letting light through instead of changing with a transistor.

Mine has quite a lot of back light bleed too :(... but apart from weighing a bit too much it's SOOO much better than anything else for reading mags ;)

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] knite75:
Thanks for the link. I see the advantages of pentile is outdoor brightness.

Unfortunately, I use my Note indoor 99% of the time. I see those pixels glaring at me.

Frankly, the display is ****ty.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rayone:
I agree the display isn't great... it's fine for movies, but it makes text blurry.

Samsung bought the Pentile patent so their going to use it in their displays... maybe they figured the P900 would be too heavy with a battery to support their BS sw + an IPS stripe RGB, or too expensive... so they went with a display that only displays 66% of an image.

It is what it is (blurry)... and there's no way to get around it.

apologize for the late reply, thank you for the link....works great, yes my S620 has been overclocked at 252 close to a month now, so far so good.....I did try it a 264 for a while but didn't really notice that much difference and plus I didn't want to take a chance on draining the battery any faster...at 252 my battery still last the whole day on a full charge with a few hours on the phone, couple of hours on wifi, and a couple of hours of watching a movie (via TCPMP)...I have it overclocked all the time at 252 even when it comes out of stanby/and after a soft reset....hope this helps....

In MY business environment, htc s620 with bluetooth enabled and push e-mail enabled, with 15-25 phone call a day, some internet browsing, without tornado power control the battery ends before dinner, and sometime also dinners are part of the business !

Ok i set OmapClock to 252mhz, and i set TornadoTotalControl to 228mhz.. am i doing it right?? i just overlooked my settings and now i think i have it set up wrong.. when i set OmapClock to 252mhz and set the clock its fine but when i reopen OmapClock again it reset back to 132mhz.. is it because when it hibernates the clock resets its speed?? Isn't TornadoTotalControl suppose to keep it overclocked?? hmm.. opinions please.. thanks..

Simply you have understoood why your S620 processor is a 200 Mhz processor, because is GUARANTEED working at 200 Mhz! Any overclock isn't, read the DISCLAIMER in Tornado Power Control before testing it at 300 Mhz!

[HTC Excalibur] macboy2020:
Does this work better than omap? because I can't seem to get omap working on my Dash.
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:
Because you CAN'T pair the words "stable" and "overclock", otherwise, if it was stable at 220 Mhz (or 230 or 250 whatever) they will sell it as OMAP 220 Mhz, instead of OMAP 200 Mhz!

OVERCLOCK means "OVER THE STABLE CLOCK CERTIFIED FROM COMPANY"

How is your wife in the bed? I don't know, some like her, some other don't... :)
[HTC Excalibur] merwin:
That is incorrect. It has nothing to do with stability. It has everything to do with optimal battery life. HTC made their phone with a 200 MHz chip because it provides optimal battery life. Once you overclock it, even 10%, you significantly reduce your battery life due to the faster CPU speed.

An OMAP CPU rated at 200MHz doesn't mean that it won't run stable at 240MHz or higher. The last two phones I've had I ran overclocked 240MHz for months without issue.

Whether or not your phone will run stable at 240MHz is a crapshoot, however... Basically, you can step up the overclocking until the point where the phone locks up and reboots itself. One or two steps below that is the "safe" overclocking speed.
[HTC Excalibur] sergiopi:

This is the link to the processor scheme... the data sheet clearly state for the ARM926EJ subsystem MAXIMUM frequency as 200 Mhz

Isn't only a power problem, is also a heat problem and in some conditions it could be critical. Also the other subsystems couldn't accept data at that frequency, depending from tolerance related to building technology and may be the ARM processor works but other components (EDGE, Bluetooth, WIFI, ... ) could overheat.

That's why the overclocker builders always say: USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wt...lateId=6123&navigationId=12000&contentId=4679

link to TI Specs

Summarizing:

Insn't common to fry a processor just for a little (20%) overclock and normal conditions, but if you overclock more than 20% and use it at full power for a couple of ours you love to live on the edge man!

ummmm....

actually, you can pair the words. I am coming from a PC Gamer standpoint. Look at 3 things

1.) how long will it most likely last if I OC it

2.) Do I plan to have this device for that long? (most cases "no")

3.) can it handle my workload (gaming) without crashing or freezing. (if yes then stable, besides those companies that certify things certify them under a very strict bar.)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Another way of looking @ it is that most CPU's come in underclocked the reason why so we buy a better model, even more recently we find CPU's just with cores disabled so as they fit into the lower price bracket, so a stable clock is more than capable on many CPU's obviously depending on other factors RAM speed, BIOS blah blah blah "sorry just far too many factors"

Lets just now go back to these tiny PC's "PPC's" it's the same principle Stock frequencys lower than HTC\M$ stated the device runs @.

If my boll@x are too warm then i OC'd too much, if the screen whites i OC'd too much, the device freezes i OC'd too much.

Sod it 240MHz and stable what more do i want? A substancial speed boost without an excessive heat load.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigred97:
Just installed a wall outlet with 2 built in USB ports (5V, 3.0A)

When I plug in my S5 nothing happens, doesn't even indicate that its plugged in. ( Using Samsung or any other cable)

The outlet works, it charges all my other devices just fine(although I have not tried another Samsung device yet)

Any ideas on this?

______

It will charge an S4 with no issues
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Does your S5 charge from the factory travel charger? From a PC USB port?

Those answers would narrow the possibilities. But most likely you have an out of spec or reversed polarity outlet. Do you have a multimeter to test the voltage, current and pinout for the outlet?

If that was so much Greek to you and your S5 charges from other outlets, then simply replace the outlet with a different brand.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigred97:
Yup it charges fine with all other chargers (factory, PC USB, and aftermarket)

The outlet was put in by a licensed electrician while he was doing some other things at the house, I hope he wouldn't have reversed the wires. But I can check. Tonight.

What about the fact that it charges an S4 but bit the S5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
We're looking for patterns or anomolies. Since your S5 charges from other sources, your cable and the S5 jack appear to be OK. So we move on to a differential analysis. Why does the S4 charge from the new outlet, but not the S5?

I can think of half a dozen unlikely reasons.. the most plausible reasons are polarity or an out of spec voltage. It could be that the S4 rectifies the input, while the S5 uses a DC path for instance. That would explain why only one model would care about polarity.

Actually polarity reversal is unlikely. And would be more likely a manufacting defect, than anything your electrician did wrong. My money - as to the most likely issue - is on the oulet voltage being too low. It should be +5 VDC. Perhaps the factory had a bad day and it is supplying 4.8.

The ways to design an electronic circuit are endless, so there are lots of potential reasons why one phone would cope and another would refuse what the outlet has on offer.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iresq:
I would agree that it's probably not polarity (at least polarity feeding the USB charger) but I'm unfamiliar with built in USB wall outlets. Also agree that USB charger is culprit since you ruled out cable.

I have 5.1v at the usb port.

And as far as polarity, if looking at the port with contacts facing down, positive is on the left and negative is right
