I too have been on this quest, with a little success. Here's what I have tried so far:

Bundled headset (MH4 10c). Obviously, everything works but there's no volume control and the buds themselves are not great.

iPhone headset. Button works, mic works, volume control doesn't.

Marshall Major over-ear headphones. Button works, mic works, volume control doesn't. (these are advertised as iPhone compatible, so no surprises really).

Samsung headset from GS5 (EO-EG900BW). Volume control works, mic works. Button acts as Volume up.

Nokia music headset (WH-701) from an old Symbian phone. Z5C told me off for even trying :) (I get a popup "Headset not supported. Use another headset or visit the Sony Mobile support site for more information.").

This guy from eBay, along with my Shure IEM's. Mic works, volume works, button works. Hallelujah! But: the phone doesn't recognise that the headset is plugged in until I press a button on the remote! So I have to plug it in, raise the volume a step, then I can use it. Annoying, but the best solution I've found so far (it's recognised no problem on an iPhone, so maybe it's something to do with their attempt to be compatible with Android & iPhone?)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] NPK06:
That's a pity, I was eyeing them. My Marshall Major button works as a play/pause/answer, it's weird your Monitors acts different
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] lock76pt:
Bluetooth Philips SHB 5800WT.

Button works, multiple clicks also, volume buttons also work.

Did anyone test the Xiaomi Pistons (first Gen)?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] rib king:
I previously mentioned the Sennheiser MM30G 's that I tried didn't work but I think there was a problem with them as I tried another pair (had bought three pair on sale) and they work fine with the Z5. I ended up keeping one of my Z5C's and I'm glad that I did as the camera rocks and the stabilised video it shoots is great... much better than the camera on the OnePlus X I picked up instead.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] ths_:
Xiaomi Piston III work just fine.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] zwirek75:
Sony MH1C works good - all four buttons are working (play/pause, vol+, vol-, app button)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] lorddm:
urBeats Monster (from HTC Sensation) - working fine (Volume Up/Down, Play/Pause, Next/Prev (2x- 3x-push play/pause button)
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Huli13:
I used the Bose basic phone in-ear buds with the buttons with my Z3c and they worked just fine. Will report back once I get my Z5c... hopefully today.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] JapiKarhu:
I'm using Marshall Major II headphones with my Sony Xperia5 and same problem as someone mentioned above. Remote button only levels up the volume..
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] Enrico2828:
Have a look at http://degausslabs.com/. The make earphones with 3 button controls that work on Android. Used to have one of their older models. Works well. Sound was ok.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Accessories] JapiKarhu:
Basically I'd only need a cable. 3.5mm aux-cable with mic/remote. I love my Marshall Majors :) let's see, I ordered Sony headphone-adapter and couple of cables [MENTION=248044]eBay[/MENTION]. I will inform if if I got em work.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D03035790:
I don't understand what is it that I might be doing wrong, I root the tablet, have bootloader unlocked, and install Dualrecovery. From TWRP recovery I wipe Dalvik cache, Cache, System, and Data. Install PAC Rom Castor and GApps using TWRP, all seems to go well, no errors present themselves. Then I reflash "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable" to keep the recovery intact before I attempt to boot into system per their instructions after installing a custom ROM. I wiped Dalvik and Cache before I reboot and once it goes away from recovery nothing occurs just my tablet remaining in flash boot which is a good thing so I can start all over again since obviously something went wrong and just use flashtools to get back to an old stock firmware. I have a SGP512. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Edit: Even tried it w/o wiping system and same results just doesn't boot.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcstar6696:
Your device will never Boot if you flash pac with nuts recovery. It causes to much Problems with cm based roms. So to rescue your tab you need Boot into fastboot and write "fastboot erase recovery" then flash this kernel http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/do...2U3RrS2VybmVsX1dJRkktdjAzXzE3LjEuMS5BLjAuNDAy

Do not reboot to system. Power of the device and then Boot into recovery (when you see the Sony logo and the LED light turns pink/amber/orange keep tapping/pressing VOLUME UP key). Then you will See cwm recovery. There first do a factory reset and Format system. Format system is in mounts and storage options) now flash PAC Rom and gapps and reboot to system now the device should Boot correctly. After the first boot do all settings then go to developer options and you will find expand reboot menu or something Luke this. Tick it and than hold the power button for some second tap reboot than bootloader (before connect the device with your PC) than use fastboot to flash the New recovery. Use one of these http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2-tabl...wrp-cwm-philz-recovery-collection-z2-t3052676

For instructions to flash recovery look in the thread there are a step "Installation" if you need more help write me
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D03035790:
Thanks! I used Flashtools to flash over the recovery via fastboot and accessed the recovery to do the rest. I had no idea CM based ROMS don't work well that recovery or any other I haven't tried yet. Any suggestion on what recovery to use? So far CWM got me this far not sure if I should try others. Philz Touch seems to be more appealing and the same as CWM.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rhe12:
Last Tuesday my phone got wet while on a bicycle ride where it started to rain. The phone got wet enough that it started to randomly jump to different screens. I turned it off and put it in my pocket. Once I got home and dried the phone it seemed fine, and in fact the next day used the dual cameras to take a pic with no problem. There seems to be no water damge indicator in the dual flash.

Today tried to take a picture using the dual cameras and immediately got this crackling sound and the cameras wouldn't focus. I've done a search and couldn't find this exact problem elsewhere. The best way to understand what the cameras are doing is to show a video taken with them:

https://youtu.be/rms54f8O4vA

You can both see the inability of the cameras to focus and hear the crackling sound they make while trying to focus.

If I shift to the front facing camera it works just fine.

What to do? are the dual cameras kaput? :(
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rhe12:
No one huh
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] grayplus:
I have similar problem. Just bought it on ebay. Other camera works well. So just buy the new module for 25$ on ebay and replace it.

[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] vinokirk:
I'm looking at the 950XL as it seems to have all the specs of the Nexus 6P but also includes USB 3.1, which is very important to me (I currently have a Note 3 which needs upgrading).

Project Astoria quite interests me; can you use any Android App with this, or just certain ones?

One thing I like about Android is the ability to flash ROMs; I don't think there's anything like this with Windows is there?

(Slightly dodgy topic to talk about) On Android I can just search for an app adding the word 'apk' on Google and download it for free. Is there anyway to do this on Windows?

I used to run Windows Mobile and before that Windows CE, before switching to Android
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] nicklefloss:
I just saw your question. Here is some of what I know. As of right now there is an app called 'bluestack' that allows you to run apks as if on android with google services this is a win 8 app though.

There are plus' and minus' here.

1. The feature that makes what you that interested in are win universal apps. That announced by MS is supposed to be repackaged Android apks and converted to universal apps. They then would use Windows services. (a minus or a plus depending on preferences)

2. Blue stack (and its alternatives)may need to be updated to a win 10 universal app. The biggest upside to the 950/xl are that dual booting maybe possible. And a full emulation is possible almost like having 2 phones in one. I say that because of how windows runs or promises to run. With win10 it should be a hackers/tinkerers/dev dream. Leading to more of the apps you may want to port over.

3. Porting maybe possible with the tools MS provide. You maybe able to repackage apks on your own into win10 universal apps.

4.this is the last thing. You maybe able to enjoy 3rd party win10 apps. There are alternatives to twitter for example on windows but no actual Twitter app which some say are better than Twitter's actual app. Also some reporters have said that microsoft are offer to build apps(official) for companies like Twitter and then hand it over to them and they then take over maintenance. But that hasn't worked so far.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] vinokirk:
Many thanks for your reply. I've been reading a lot, trying to get my head around the new Windows Phone experience. It seems vastly different from what I used to have on my HTC HD2, which was my last Windows Phone.

One app I use a lot and I find useful is Truecaller, it tells you who's calling, even if you don't have their number in your phone. I presume this needs some sort of integration with the OS. I wonder if Project Astoria offers this level of integration.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] ericjennings:
My last windows phone was also the HD2 and I've used android ever since. I recently bought a lumia so I could try windows 10 preview. There are a couple of things I miss:

- the ability to transfer files to/from my NAS through WiFi without having to go through a pc

- swipe keyboard doesn't work in some places, eg works in messaging but not in browser

- android .nomedia facility

- banking - my bank is HSBC and they don't have a windows app

If the 950x windows 10 version fixes the first two of these then that will be my next phone.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] vinokirk:
My banking app also isnt on WP10.

I also like to use DOSbox to play old games on my phone.

Also Torque for hooking up to cars ECU via a bluetooth OBD2 reader.

No Starbucks app :(

I also use my LG Gwatch to receive notification on my wrist at work. As Im not allowed to get my phone, this is a very very handy feature for me.

I think I'm too invested in Android right now. I am a real Windows 10 Phone wannabe though. I wish I could afford both the Nexus 6P and Lumia 950XL.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Rtistique:
Windows Lumia 950xl check every check in the box for what i want in a smartphone on the hardware side... But my issues is that i know that you can port apps over but how many official apps from ios and android made it to the windows store. Once they have app they will have me as a new consumer

[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] UserDemos:
Hey folks,

I figured this thread would be a good place to ask since it already existed. A little background. I'm a heavily entrenched Android user since the Evo 4G days and have service with several telecoms and own several phones as well. I saw the new presentation and I was really impressed, however, I need some help to see if the switch is right for me.

1) I use Google Voice to manage all of my numbers and phones. I heard that Skype doesn't allow number Port In, however, does allow forwarding. Does anyone know if this is true? Why don't they allow number Port In? Is it coming in the future? Any creative solutions around this?

2) I don't own a P.C., so Continuum really intrigues me. I've always owned PlayStation and loved being able to stream my PlayStation to my Sony phones and play remotely. Would I be able to stream XBoxOne to my phone and use Continuum to play on a monitor? What about streaming to a T.V. for Netflix or other apps like that?

3) I'm really interested in turning my home "smart". I know that Android has a big IoT platform and it'll be great with NEST and the other things they have coming down the pipeline. What about Windows? Is there a platform available? What products support it? Can it all be phone controlled and do apps exist for them?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I'm sure there are others in my boat who might have similar questions.

So in theory you can do this with windows phone right now. remember one windows isn't anything new. windows 8.1 is on the xbox one. And you can use the pass through feature on any windows device. On windows 10, its all the same, even on mobile because on phone it is full windows running (just slightly different ui, right now if windows 10 on desktop is told its on an under 6inch screen it locks into mobile or atleast the apps do, per windows weekly). Even though it is mobile you could run full photo shop on the phone with a couple of hacks. The one issue is Windows doesn't run well on Arm processors snapdragon 810 and 808... Look out also for a zenfone 2 running Windows 10 mobile. Also the is some one hacking the zenfone to port windows 10.

My dream is for the test windows 10 mobile rom that was being tested on xiaomi mi4 could get ported.

Also microsoft has debated on creating a rom that's flashable to android devices. That helps them get the 1billion user goal. And also attract devs and hacking enthusiasts.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] vinokirk:
So this is full Windows 10? But on ARM?

Could I install and run any programs that I can install on my laptop then?

Does the phone have some kind of x86 to ARM translator?
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] NLS:
No, it is not full Win10.

It only runs "universal" apps (the successor of the "metro" apps of windows 8/8.1/10)...
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] muness:
Truecaller is already available on win10 mobile. It shows info about who is calling but also can act as your call and text message spam filter, a feature I don't think they have on Android.

I broke my Icon unfortunately so can't post screenshots.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] wifesabitch:
I'm in the same boat. The 950 checks all my boxes hardware wise, but I do think it'll be hard to switch.

What I am doing is getting a Lumia 640, pretty cheap from BB: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/at-t-go...lack/9231014.p?id=1219701750248&skuId=9231014

Figure that would be a good device to test everything out on and see if I can make the switch. And I could probably sell it in a few months to close to what I paid for it.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] NLS:
Indeed fantastic price.

If my 950 XL proves (too) good, I might get a cheapo previous model so that my wife also switches.

(and only keep my Z4 Tablet LTE - that is getting Marshmallow soon - to keep contact with Android)

I actually waited to the last minute if a really serious device comes out this year from Android and only three came "close but no cigar" (the others far behind including the Note5, a series I used to be a fan and they stupidly killed by turning to a fashion series like S series):

- LG V10. I don't like the little screen (mostly the awkward positioning and that is not AMOLED but is always on - which kind of defeats the concept) and I don't care about the two selfie cams. Also you make it tough. Why not water resistant (at least) also?

- Z5 Premium. I always liked the Z series, but they failed to really advance it and now you can even call it ugly. 4K for a non-4K ready world is just a nice selling bullet. You put a super-MP camers, with no OIS and a simple single LED flash. Goofy.

- Moto X Force. No biometrics at all? In 2015? (also I kind of fear Moto as a brand for years now)

Anyway... few more days to a month to see if we made the right choice.

Love my Windows 10 1511 update that has extras to support coexistense with Win 10 phone... :)

MSFT don't screw this.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] tomzefi:
I started with windows hacking until I bought a HTC evo 4g. I have had 4 nexus devices and currently on the nexus 6. When the 950xl becomes available i am ditching the 6 for windows again after several years of android. Just out grew android. It was fun buy going back to where it all started.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] olarf:
No, only universal apps are able to run on Arm and X86 Plattform. W10 is similar on Arm and X86 but all Apps / Programms has to do the step and create Universal Apps while also Microsoft seems to work on Phones which are based on X86 CPU.

So this is a first step into the future which will provide same stuff on Desktop, Tablet and Phones. While Android has no Desktop OS and Apple has IOS and MAC OS seperated, Microsoft did the next step to Melt all worlds together. Now it is on us to support this way and on them to work continously to improve the process.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] tomzefi:
I feel windows mobile will make a come back.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] KeesStolk:
Totally agree and i don't like the way Samsung is heading, no microsSD, removable battery etc.

MS is no Saint with privacy, but Google is ignoring us users more and more.

A bought a 950xl just a few days ago.

Having a Android device for years, this Lumia is fun, new etc.

Although i must say, the available / working apps is a bit.... :)

Anyone has a working Tapatalk yet?
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] tomzefi:
Yes, apps, always been lacking there. I have a feeling that's gonna change. Windows phone hacking & development is coming back. I will hold on to my nexus and gonna get the 950xl
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] olarf:
Same for me, I used Sammy phones for some years now and it seems they lost the track more and more. For sure there is a need for more apps but its a bit a Chicken and Egg thing. If you ask Software companies they tell you that there are not enough Windows phones to make it worth to develop a APP and if you ask customers they tell you that there are not enough apps to make it worth buying a Windows Phone... Actually I see Windows Phones appear in more and more companies where they replace IPhones. ALso the Bridge Projects seems to be more promissing then the Astoria one. For us as WP users we must not care about as most good apps exist for IOS and ANdroid at the same time. If the porting from IOS work good, we will get a lot of apps soon. The rest is on Microsoft then, they have to motivate companies to create a lot of universal apps. Actually the 950/950XL seems to be the only phones with some inovation right now. Lets see end of 2016 where we are.

I forget to mention that there exist a Tapatalk app and it works. Not that good but it works and do the job.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] Lucius Snow:

[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] the_scotsman:
Not possible.
[Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL] santoz:
Most App's are already on WM, what i done was use an Android App to export my Android Apps as a list then put them in a spreadsheet and search the Windows Phone Store for the same App. 98% match rate for me :)

Another good thing about is, is that you will find there are quite a few Apps you don't actually use ;) plus I've started using the browser more as it's better than any App on either IOS, Android or WMP.
