[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arch_geek:
There are two ways that you could go:

1. Try the new OOS 3 beta. It contains many improvements and by default, it will include the shelf feature that you love. You will be able to install the sound mods that you like and won't get any distortion. The downside with this method is that there is no custom kernel for OOS 3. You'll have to run on a stock kernel.

2. Continue with OOS 2.2.1 and revert to the stock kernel. Then flash the Uber custom build version of Boeffla Kernel and install BoefflaConfig app to tune the kernel. The downside with this method is that you won't be able to flash any audio mods. You'll have to stick to apps like Noozxoide EIZO-Rewire Pro for audio tuning.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWolfSoul:
Thanks a lot! I'll go with 1st method. You were providing a lot of help, Thanks for that too :D

I didn't think i'll fall in love with shelf feature, before was only one rom - CM - but oxy changed that for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] imagin112:
Hi guys.

I bought my s7e in Germany, o2 carrier.

Can I change my csc region without triping my knox ?

I living in Germany and I want DBT csc code :)

Now I have this

Thx for reply.

Best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gyoung:
You bought your S7E from O2 so it will be carrier locked I believe. May I ask why did you want to change region? Get OTA update?

You can flash a DBT firmware without tripping knox. But, this may void your warranty. You have two options:

1) Flash with odin and start a new; data WIPE. (You can download DBT firmware from sammobile)

2) Follow the instructions in post #2

My phone decided to not switch on any longer. The only sign of life is the notification led blinking red when is in charge, no way to access it with any program if I attach it to the PC with a USB cable.

I should send it to the Sony repairing center (still under warranty) but the phone is rooted; given its situation do they discover it ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nej_simon:
I had that exact problem. Turned out that the battery suddenly died after about a year.

In my experience they never care what stuff is currently on the phone. Instead they'll just flash it with the latest stock rom after fixing the hardware.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the gladiator:
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I really hope will be the same in my case as well. I'll post here what will happen.

PS I'm wondering about the batteries' quality: my daughter with a z1c had your same problem (a little more than one year life), you, may be myself... I know the sample is not significant but...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fictional Reality:
Same thing happened with mine & i was on a custom rom with unlocked bootloader...they probably had no way to get into the phone just like i couldn't so they probably couldn't tell it was modified...it was just a brick at that point...i noticed certain batches were affected by this sudden death and after pulling my tag out i noticed my phone was part of that batch that was poorly assembled in china...so brand new phone for me!

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gembruce:
Hi,

2 days ago my phone received an OTA update. It was the first update after Android 6.0. After update successfully completed, phone stopped being charged (even with wall charger) and not being detected by the PC. I've searched the web and found methods below but none of them worked.

* Draining all charge on battery and charging with wall charger. Connecting the charger to phone by pressing POWER+VOL.UP buttons together. (Notification light turns to blue). This method charges the phone very slowly. Phone turns back to life but battery drains very quickly. I've made soft reset after charging with this method but nothing changed. Phone is not detected by the PC.

* Semi hard reset with POWER+VOL..DOWN buttons (120 second).

* Hard reset with OFF button.

* USB debugging, enabling USB hub detection. Neither worked?

Is there anyone faced this problem? Or any suggestion?

P.S. Phone is very new, purchased couple of weeks ago. No physical damage, not even starches.

Yesterday sent it back to repair. :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fonzman:
Similar problem here. Since original Sony Nougat update, the phone sometime did not recognize charging, usb needed to be unplugged/replugged. But since 3 days this suddenly does not help anymore. Tried 3 different wall chargers and 2 different cables.

Turning phone off and on again with Volume up + power button sometimes helps to start charging.

Phone has original fw and is not routed! No solution yet :(

EDIT: Found a (very mysterious) solution!

After removing my hardened glass screen protector (cracked due to a fall), the phone did charge without problems! I could reproduce this with a normal plastic screen protector also - as soon as a corner was lifted a little bit, the phone would not charge any more. Cutting said corner off was enough to start charging again.

Whatever wizardry is going on there, I hope my phone accepts my new hardened glass, because I would not want it without any screen protection at all :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deddy84:
Hello. I have a problem with my g4. When I plug the headphones into the jack, the sound goes down and very crappy, with any type of headphones. In addition, the phone will recognize the headset as aux cable. I have already tried to do hard reset and install different rom, without success. What can it be?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meddleuk:
I was hoping for opinions on the MP3 playback quality on the kaiser. I have been using an N95 previously to play Mp3's through headphones but the quality is not as good as a standalone player like my Ipod. Problem is I want to ditch the Ipod and replace it with the a good sounding music smartphone.

Do you think the Kaiser is a good music player, when playing through wired headphones (not interested about the playback through the speaker).

Also what is the media library player like. Is the built in one good enough by itself or do you recomend a better third party app

Thanks for any help!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] patcooke:
The ipod is a media player with a phone added on, the kaiser is a phone/pocket pc with media player facilities but given the different emphasis and target users of the two devices I think you can guess the answer. I find the sound thru phones ok but I think you'll be disappointed if you're looking for ipod quality.

I use conduits pocket player on pocket pc's.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] forcedalias:
Don't you mean the iPhone is a media player with a phone added?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meddleuk:
Thanks for the feedback. I might wait out for the iphone then in that case.

MP3 playback is top of my want list then followed by the phone. My N95 is just about passable for quality, do you recken the kaiser would be as good as the N95?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
Well, Kaiser is not good for MP3 (Music) player. That's all.

If you want to have very good MP3 player, Kaiser is not for you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Are you sure, I mean with a wired headset the Kaiser sounds pretty good, the iPhone doesn't do BT headsets I think. The Kaiser just does so much more, the GPS is killer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] isdereks:
If you have the option to wait for the iPhone do it. The iPhone was designed based off of a solid foundation of years and years of iPod history. Although the quality of your music tracks will have a significant impact on the quality of sound, there is no denying that the listening experience as a whole must be taken into account. Listening to music on the iPhone is natural and seamless. Switching between phone calls and choosing select tracks to listen to is fluid. I can't say that with the Kaiser / Tilt. While third party applications may improve the experience, I think transition from music, to phone call, and back to browsing for music to listen to is cumbersome.

When I received my Kaiser, I didn't even think about using it for audio playback. I immediately made plans to pick up an iPod Nano for dedicated playback.

* Battery life has to be taken into consideration as well. My iPhone could go two days without a charge - taking calls, messaging, and listening to music. There is no way I'm going to be sacrificing battery life in order to listen to music on the Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mskovrinskie:
It's not a media player first, but it is certainly functional enough for me. Either using an A2DP bluetooth stereo headset, or the included headset, I have no problems using the Kaiser as my primary music device. Just get a 4GB SD card or more and you'll have plenty of space.

The HTC Audio Manager (not sure if this is on the tilt) makes it much easier for navigating available content like you would on an iPod/Phone, though Windows Media Player works fine too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanmin:
Do you judge that based on the bundled earphone? That earphone may be the cause of 'all' problems. I mean, the iPod's earphone is designed for music, and generally would be better.

And, in the Wizard / Atom side, there are actually people able to tell the difference between an MP3 and AAC.. and this.. flac loseless compression music format, I dont think the sound can be that bad (i.e. you need a fairly good unit to able to hear the difference)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meddleuk:
Thanks for the feedback. In answer to your question I have a pair of in ear sennheiser headphones which really show up any MP3 players problems. When trying to play MP3's on my N95 there was always a noticible gap between tracks and a slight hiss in the background which would disappear if you cranked the volume up. The big difference however was the range/clarity which made all my high bitrate MP3's sound as if they were encoded under 100kbs. The built in Mp3 player just seemed cheap as if it was knocked together with very little in the way of tweaks to improve things. The only improvement I could find was to run my MP3's through a third party app oggplay which gained a slight improvement in overall quality. I had learnt to live with this but wanted to make sure I didn't make the same mistake twice with my next phone.

My hearing on the other hand is not good enough to tell the difference between MP3/AAC etc. Often I hear that the Nano for instance has noticible worse playback quality than a standard Ipod but I cannot tell any real difference. But with the N95 it is very noticible.

I am not really asking for IPOD quality, but just a phone that performs better than the N95 otherwise it's not really worth it for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] michael1284:
listening to music as we speak on the kaiser, sounds fine to me...i'm using some v-moda headphones and i can't really tell any differences from my ipod.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanmin:
Well, that would be what I'm expecting on a phone media player.. due to the low SN ratio and the D2A converter. Probably you ought to ask (i.e. PM) the other guys (link in my post above) regarding how in the world they can differentiate MP3 and AAC/flac. Possibly the audio quality (unlike the camera quality) of these HTC are superb.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sebbes:
I dont understand how an ipod can be considered as a reference (cowon or other competitors did much better devices), but back to WinMobile based smartphones like the Kaiser, the very good news is that you have alternative players available (tcpmp)

I just repacked my iphone after a week, the speakers were good... but phone-wise it's just cannot be called a "phone" (too many features missing)

So I've not tested the kaiser yet, but I have no doubt that audio quality wise it could give good results with a good software like TCPMP...

Think about it : apple's product is love it as-is, or stay away from that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rocos:
Have you guys tried LCG Jukebox (they have clients for both N95 and TyTN II),

http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=lcgjukebox

I like it's features, download lyrics and album art, internet radio streaming, good equalizer. A bit pricey (19.99 for PPC and 24.99 for Symbian), I wish it was cheaper, but the sound on the TyTN II using a2dp is actually not bad at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meddleuk:
I actually gave LCG Jukebox a go on the N95 and found that soundwise the quality was a little better than the built in MP3 player but no where near as good as oggplay. The interface however was horrible and not to be recomended and it just seemed cheap looking to me. It was also missing the search by artist/album etc.. which is a must for any media player.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XSIVSPD:
ive been pretty happy with the playback over an A2DP headset from my tilt, in fact i think its better than my ipod (20gb 4th gen), but i do have this to add, all the ipods (at least up through 5th gen) use the same DAC as the 1st gen (how many years old is that again?), you can get much better sound quality out of other devices. due to the similarities, i would think that they have used this DAC in the 6th gen iPods also, the only only exception would the the iPhone/iPod touch, but you would have to find the specs somewhere to make sure
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hanmin:
Off topic a bit. Like it or not, iPod is here to stay due to favarious reason, where technical reasons play a minor part of it, as not everyone is of an audiophile or technical about the details, else every MP3 will look like a box with great stuff in it (i.e. best selling books aren't always best written, they just sell well). anyway, as of taking it as reference basically means it is easily obtainable, doesn't mean it is the greatest. E.g., I can tell you thing like, "that phone is almost a size of a CD", is better than, "that phone is exactly 5.72cm in length". You can easily get comparisons. Doesn't mean that CD is the best measuring device :D

With a good set of headphones (I'm using wired Senys as well), and it sounds just fine, equal to the nano with same headphones, and def better than a friends N95 (although I listened to that with Sony phones, and there usually a little too bass orientated).

Of course it's your product, right? I searched and downloaded and watched the wacky (very busy) demo. The product looks excellent and very intuitive. I'm not at all opposed to paying for software and donating, something I do often, but $30 seems steep for an audio player and the reg procedure is something different.

Still, I could see I was not going to get anywhere at handango compared to what I was doing then myself; that and the huge hole handango has for warez getting free reign in there, I ... took a hike.

More Audio info

In response to a number of posts:

1 - There is a 3.5mm converter jack available for the Kaiser/Tilt - it sounds better than bluetooth - I tested this because I have 2 different BT receivers - RCA and an Alcatel - the RCA ($10) sounds way better but is not portable.

2 - I have ipods and using the MortPlayer (I have tired them all), the Kaiser sounds better than the ipod direct connected and has way more features.

3 - I use the MS Voice software and over Stereo BT, have absolutely no problems making and receiving calls while I listen to music. I click once, the music goes off, I say call so and so and the call goes through- can't be much easier than that.

Hope this helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
One thing to consider is the use of an equalizer to enhance sound output. The stock media player on the Kaiser is not very good at all. It sounds very flat. I have an adapter for my Tilt that allows me to sync and have both 3.5mm and USB (aka kaiser) headset connected.

I used my iPod headphones and with the default media player, the overall sound is worse than an iPod. Now, when I switch to tcpmp and enable the eq, wow - there is a noticeable difference on both the iPod headphones and the stock Kaiser headphones. (please note that my Tilt didn't come with headphones or a headset. I was using the headset from my 8525).

My EQ settings usually look like a V. I like more bass and treble. Midrange is flatlined.

So - bottom line - use tcpmp and enable the eq. Your ears will be much happier.

The iPod rules over the kasier simply because you can buy a 80gb iPod and it'll be small and easy to use and be able to store an entire music libary. The kasier will do more, but it cannot hold as many songs and is a bit cumbersome to use. Although the external speaker on the kasier is sometimes useful when you want to listen to a song with a friend. I believe the iPod is more of a companion then a standalone entertainment device.
