Thanks for the tip. I had played around with Viper on my current phone last year, but didn't really notice any improvements. Will give it another shot since so many people swear by it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] geronimoid:
+1 for V4A :good:

The Xiaomi Piston 2.1 have well impressed me for the price, fantastic sound and compatible inline controls. You can get a genuine set here
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] boojay:
Funny you should bring up the Pistons because I'm using a Xiaomi phone right now. Will definitely look into those, thanks!

Why wouldn't you get the official Sony noise-cancelling earbuds? I picked up a pair on ebay for £20 - the noise cancelling works great, they sound pretty good and are comfy (come with 3 different sized tips).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
Sadly for some reason these don't have an inline remote (no track or volume change) or proper call handling, both pretty much a must for buds meant for regular phone use, IMHO.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] showstopper03:
Motorola buds
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] jfinnie:
I didn't see the OP list those as requirements; but I take your point. I guess I am an old-timer who just listens to music with headphones... :p For me, the noise cancelling - for cheap - is more useful.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] dl12345:
What's your budget?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] boojay:
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm definitely looking into the noise canceling ones as I've never tried such earbuds before. I managed to find someone who's willing to sell his NC Bose earbuds for 80, that currently retail for 350. As mentioned, the Beats I'm using are pretty amazing already, so I'm curious how much better the NC will be if I can get them.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Servaas:
Why not use the supplied earbuds? They work lovely for me and it even has a mic input.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] boojay:
I should mention the different headphone modes that are available for the Z3C work really well. I haven't even messed with the equalizer yet, but I'm liking STH-30, which is why I leave that as the default, but each setting is very unique, depending on your tastes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] rickyoon.vegas:
I have a dozen ear buds, both Bluetooth and wired. After comparing all of mine, I realized Sennheiser's CX 300s are the one for me.

The cable is light, the buds don't puncture ears like most do. It stays on comfortably even while jogging, and the sound quality is great. Sounds best with clearaudio+ and headphone setting to STH-30.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] kandelai:
I already have excellent noise cancellation earbuds, VSonic GR07 Pro Dynamic Noise Isolation Earbuds. Is there any reason to use Sony's MDR-NC31E's over any other brand? Do they have special customization or presets for their own models?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
Noise isolation is not the same as noise cancellation - I'm not sure why you're comparing them. The technology is built into the phone, so you don't need a separate battery pack for it like with other noise cancelling headphones. They're lower profile than the VSonic, and yes there are presets on the phone for Sony buds.

But everyone's tastes in earphones are different, my advice is just to stick with what you already find comfortable and great sounding, as you can go a bit crazy trying to find the perfect set. Just enjoy your music instead :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] kandelai:
Sounds like good advice. thanks. :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Woza72:
The best!

Mate, after chasing the perfect solution for a few years, including ear buds and over ears, I can say i have found the ultimate solution.

Jaybird bird blue buds x (blue tooth ear buds, no more messy cables!) + Decibullz custom contour replacement moulds (a perfect custom fit for your ears. maximum comfort, buds never fall out!)+ lastly, Comply memory foam ear bud tips (pure comfort and sound isolation )

There you have it. Not full audiophile but for less than $200 YOU WONT LOOK BACK!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] boojay:
Thanks for the suggestion. Those Jaybirds do indeed sound sweet, but they still cost a pretty penny (although I'm sure it's worth it for some) and is well above the budget I'm willing to allot for earbuds. Perhaps others can benefit from your recommendation though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] playagiron:
I also was looking around extensively, and while my favorite are over the ear studio phones, I got the Noise Cancelation ones.

My impressions:

1) The ones included with the phone ones really lack bass and sound very bad for music, too bad since they got a very handy switch. (Whats there name BTW?)

2) The Noise Cancelation ones are very nice, maybe a touch too bassy but it's OK, very good for music, and the cancellation feature is useful. I wondered where the mic to talk was built in though? Seems it uses the two ones outside the earbuds or how is it working?

A switch is deeply missed to forward songs or answer calls. Anyone aware of an app that lets you control Walkman and the phone via voice when the headset is plugged in??

Lastly, I found the results with the equalizer not very useful so preferred the clear audio feature. And as others mentioned, the different headphone setting change a lot, I also prefer the STH-30 setting.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] jonnablaze:
Bought a pair of Zero Audio Carbo Basso on eBay from Japan after reading about them on head-fi. Really awesome buds, especially if you're a bass-head like me.

Stock Earbuds doesn't fit nicely

Hi, I have bought an Telstra (Australia) variant of Z3 compact and found the stock earbuds doesn't fit in nicely to my ear. Seems like going to fall off as compared to the earbuds from Galaxy S2 I9100.

Does anyone has the same experience with the stock Z3 earbuds? It doesn't come with different size adapter as well.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] tesla45:
When you say 'all inline controls work' with the Xperia Z3, could you just elaborate to help me out.

Volume up and volume down work out of the box? single tap for play/pause, double tap for Forward, triple for back, hold for Google Now work out of the box?

I'm coming from SoundMagic E10M on my iPhone 5, but unfortunately I doubt the volume controls will work :(

Heard the piston's will be similar sounding, so very interested in them :)

Thanks in advance!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the response, will be fun to compare them to my SoundMagic E10M which I love

[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
I stumbled across this because I have been googling for one since I got my phone and finally found one. Its not that much more powerful then the stock one but for the price its worth it. Check it out!

http://www.acetore.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=835
[LG Optimus L90] googlephone:
The actual capacity will be less than the stock one. For $15, why not just buy the stock one?
[LG Optimus L90] Riku Azhurlar:
how wil it be less when the stock is 2540mAh and this is 2970
[LG Optimus L90] googlephone:
Because you can label any mah number on the battery.

It is common that 3rd party batteries inflate the capacity.

And 3rd parties usually have worse or no better battery technology so that it is nearly impossible for 3rd parties to put higher capacity in the same size.

Well, just bought it too.going to slepp right now, tomorrow hopefully I'll be able to push and pull files with adb.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helloworld294:
Before pulling/pushing anything from system

run 'chmod 777 /system'

And before pushing/pulling any file chmod 666 the file and after dont ever forget to chmod 644 any system or data file after pushing or else you gonna end up in bootloop.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subwoffer13:
.ok , i am a bit confused .i understand that every time im pulling or pushing i should fix the permissions. Bit what is the exact order ?

Shouldn't i just make sure the file im only pushing is 644 (rw-r-r)?

Lets say for example , i want to push stock "build.prop" to system .

What are the steps?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helloworld294:
Mount everything and do su and all that then chmod 777 /system

Then do the push "adb push 'source file location' /system/build.prop

Then do chmod 644 /system/build.prop

All done.

I assume that you press "dot" key (that you use to get numbers) and the up or down key. Whenever I do this, however, it simply works like a regular up or down key press. So how do you get the "page up" or "page down" to work on the slideout keyboard?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys. I recently went back to 25r in an attempt to get better battery. And I am. What's strange is that in the first 50% I'll get 3hours soc. But I'm now on 18% with 4hours and 10 mins. Seems kinda strange. Not using the phone any differently. I do have a Google play services drain but its only 14% and I don't think its doing that much harm

Any one else?

Posts like this don't really help as we need to see what wakelocks are going on with your phone as well as the number of times its waking up your device.

The whole post-50% is a coincidence.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It's completely normal for you to have a 'faster' drain on the lower 50% of your battery life. But what Zephik said is right, it's impossible to say what's happening on your device without you providing some accompanying analytical data.

Im quiet happy with my battery, get about 3 hours soc until 50% and then i get home from work, so its not a massive issue for me. What i find weird is the 49%-1%

Drain a hell of a lot faster, not really an explanation as to why it does that?

Hoping the 38r update that comes out next sunday makes it even better though :p

Install a app such as GSam / Wakelock Detector / BetterBatteryStats, on your next battery cycle running one of the 3 apps listed, post up screenshots of the listings so we can further discuss this. Or you can take a look at them yourself if you know what to look for.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabret00the:
Create a context of when the phone rings AND headset plugged in, make it wait a couple seconds and turn the ringer silent, at that point use Get Voice and look for the word 'answer' and then answer the call or reject the call.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewbuntu:
I too am looking for an app/solution that could answer calls while driving, ask phone to read text message, fast forward songs and other when on the boat and u have wet hands, do "okay Google" from an screen. Below are wishes and frustrations with others so I'm still looking. What is your favorite app. I'll ask on a few other threads to similar questions if I see anything.

Opionions and thoughts on apps:

Tasker

I tried tasker, but it seems like it would take me days to set up all the tasks.

Dragon

It was close, but no voice answer, the music wouldn't fast forward, and reading text was just on or off automatically, when asking to play music it wouldn't play a station on Pandora without touching the screen, and only played a particular song in the music apps, vs "play all" or play "___" playlist, so in reality my favorite was that it would turn on/off drive mode via voice commands to play text, if you remembered to do it.

Google voice m+

It seemed great, but a lot of what I wanted required the purchase app and I can't even get the regular app 4.4 or 4.3 to work correctly using anything besides okay Google, as a trigger, and it was spotty when trying it out and I can't find a tutorial for the app setup either to show better ways to do things. I'll probably buy and try it some more for $2, but I think it didn't answer calls too, so then I would have to apps listening for commands.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00430:
Is it possible to pull the 33R OTA package off the OnePlus One site (or anywhere else), and flash the package (via fastboot), on an "exploited" bootloader. In my case, I have an original OnePlus One with the old bootloader, which can be exploited, so that I can do stupid stuff, without unlocking the bootloader. Is it possible to extract the bootloader from a 33R edition (or greater) CM11s ROM, and only flash the /system and other partitions without overwriting my exploited bootloader. (I.e. flash the individual packages via fastboot)

You might ask me why I want to keep the old, unsecure bootloader on my OPO? Cause I don't want to constantly lock/unlock the bootloader after each OTA, and also because I like my OPO that way. (I'm on 25R at the moment)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Why do you think you need to lock/unlock the bootloader for an OTA? That isn't true at all. Just unlock it, leave it unlocked, and you never need to worry about it again.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00430:
The bootloader is there for a 2nd security measure, in case your phone falls into the wrong hands. After you're done rooting and messing about with the phone, you'd relock the bootloader, so if someone tries to hack your phone via root shell, they would have to wipe the phone. For whatever reason, I want to keep my exploitable bootloader, but also update at the same time. AFAIK, the bootloader has no effect on the Android OS, so I was asking whether I could flash every package, except the bootloader, via fastboot. I know keeping the exploitable bootloader is a stupid thing to do, but it's just as stupid as leaving the bootloader unlocked after rooting.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The chances are if your phone was to be stolen, the thief wouldn't even know a thing about what a bootloader is. As what Tim said, there's no reason to leave your bootloader locked again unlocking.

Take a look into cerberus if you want recovery mode protection for anti theft if you're worried. And no it isn't "stupid" to leaving the bootloader unlocked after rooting, re unlocking would cause the phone to be wiped on your part.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00430:
Well I'll give it a shot, and see what happens, :rolleyes:

Surely the OTA doesn't need to reflash the bootloader, it's just there as an exploit fix.

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if I'm putting my thread in the right forum, but I could not find anything more appropriate here.

I've just obtained my Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 LTE (SM-G357FZ), but it is network branded (by "Plus", polish operator) and I'd like to flash it with the oryginal, unmodofied stock Samsung Android, but I cannot find any firmware on the web for that model. The current version is 4.4.4 - G357FZXXU1ANH7.

I've checked sammobile.com and have found only one Galaxy Ace 4 LTE model which the sotware for is valid for Poland, but it is not for SM-G357FZ, but for SM-G313HN and the firmware version is 4.4.2. So can I flash the phone with that firmware using Odin? I'm not sure, because it seems like it is not the right firmware.
