The same. I own a couple of headphones, including Xiaomi Piston 3 and can tell you that the right choice is KZ brand. I own KZ ZS5 that are many times better that Piston 3 and probably the same compared to other Xiaomi Headphones. I had the luck to buy them in promotion for 24$ (now about 30). You have option to buy even better ZS6 (40-50$) or cheaper ZST. Man, this ZS5 are even (much) better than my HiFiMan RE-400, that were entry level audiophile headphones that I buy for 100$ + 10$ shipping (now are discounted to 50$, but not worth compared to ZS5).

Piston 3 headphones are not bad at all. They sound relatively flat (which means real, not emphasized sound) without big drawbacks. But ZS5 are audibly better in each extent - more clear powerful sound, better dynamics, bass, midds, highs, open staged ... Just have to see if you like their design, because are bigger (but fit fine once you insert them). So buy cheap Xiaomi headphones only if the budget is restricted. And even in this case I would prefer Superlux 381b which should be something like 18$ (I bought them for about 14+ euros).
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Accessories] bolopez:
Just my 2 cents...

I have KZ ZS5, both with silver cable and bluetooth, Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD, Sony WF1000X and a few cheaper more (i.e. Piston 3). For me, the best sound comes from Hybrid HD without any doubt. ZS5 are very good too, but they are not very comfortable (at least for my ears). Sony have a very good sound, very close to the Hybrid HD, and active noise cancellation is really wonderful.

As usual, any ears are different and we all have our preferences, but if I had to buy new earphones and BT was not in the wish list, Xiaomi Hybrid Pro HD would be the first choice...

Regards.

Hi there everyone.

is it possible to expand my /data partition on my Xperia L to take up an extra GB or so from my internal storage?

and if it is, then how?

Yes but no. You found procedures for Xperia L, but finally broken the phone (when update, etc.) The better it's install LineageOS 14.1 if you have Bootloader unlock

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matticas:
Hello,

I had my M8 replaced under warrenty and received a brand new M8. I am in Australia and use the Telstra network, and they provide network unlocked phones for plan customers, thus this phone isn't network locked.

When I first got it, it kept saying "Invalid Sim Card" on the lock screen for 2 days, and it went away by itself. The tech at the store said at that time they had significant network problems and we're resolved at the same time my phone was playing up. In those 2 days I also replaced the Sim Card and it made no difference.

Flash forward 4 weeks and I went overseas to Germany and the phone worked fine for a few days then again said Invalid Sim Card. No matter how many times I rebooted it I couldn't get it onto the network. Once I returned to Australia it worked fine.

I am now in South Africa and my Australian Telstra Sim Card was working fine but I needed a local number for data, so I purchased a Vodacom sim with data only and it worked straight away. My girlfriend also brought a Vodacom sim for her M10 (same Telstra plan as me) and hers is fine

My sim and phone ran on their networks fine for 12 hours and I wake up this morning and it's now saying "Invalid Sim Card" again. I've tried rebooting it several times with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm not convinced it's the Sim Card tray as it works fine on Australia, only when overseas. I don't know anything about the radio or baseband stuff but it's that related?? What can I check??

I used the IMEI24 website to confirm the phone was unlocked from the carrier, and entering *#*#4636#*#* doesn't show any info as it's not on the network.

Phone is currently unlocked, S-on, TWRP 3.0.2.0, rooted, Marshmallow.

I'm pretty angry as I have an ultra marathon in 2 days, and this phone was to connect my Garmin watch to the internet so my friends and family could track me, and most importantly my girlfriend could find me at the finish.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I doubt it has anything to do with radio baseband. GSM bands are pretty standard worldwide, and just about any "quad band" (850, 900, 1800, 1900) GSM phone should get you at least voice and EDGE data services. And all M8 versions support those GSM bands. Therefore, any M8 should get you at least GSM service, regardless of the radio baseband installed.

I wonder if the issue is the SIM modules themselves, and the "overseas" issue is a red herring? My thought is, that maybe the overseas SIMs you purchased don't quite fit as well as your local (Australian) SIM. One thing you can try, is put some Scotch tape on the SIM (on the side without the gold contacts) and see if that "fattens" up the SIM enough to make better contact. Be careful not to get tape stuck in SIM slot/tray. I've seen this trick work for some folks with the Invalid SIM error.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymwat:
Recently, I bought an Xbox One USB wired controller, and tried to use it with my OnePlus One via USB OTG. It connects OK and power is going to the controller (it lights up), but nothing on it works. None of the buttons can be mapped in any app. I've tried several controller keymappers, along with every emulator I have, and none of them detect that any button is being pressed.

I know the USB OTG port works, because it works fine with my usb mouse. Also, the controller itself works fine with my PC.

How can I get this controller working with my phone? Has anyone else had any luck with one?

[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @TheAmeerAzizi:
How to Write IMEI ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a serious scenario but what you need is Mobileuncle MTK IMEI Write Tool (PC Software) & Mobile Uncle Tools (Mobile App).

1. Download & extract the Mobileuncle MTK IMEI Write Tool (PC Software) file on your PC.

2. Open the folder & run the file as administrator, which will lead to the pop up of the following window.

3. The simple program is not in English, so simply enter Y & press enter.

4. Next it will ask to enter the IMEI which you can locate either on your device box price sticker or on the sticker on your device below the battery. In case its a dual SIM device, it will ask you to enter IMEI2. Punch in the correct IMEI & press enter.

5. Once you punch in the correct required details the program terminates & creates a backup file by the name of IMEI.bak in the folder.

6. Copy this file to your device SD Card.

7. Download & install Mobile Uncle Tools on your device.

8. Open the app & click on IMEI Backup Restore (MTK).

9. It will open a new screen where in Backup & Restore options are listed. Use the any of the Restore option.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strandedhuman:
I bought a phone from a user on reddit. I just looked up the IMEI (I got it from about phone) and it says it belongs to a "SAMSUNG I535 Galaxy S III". The phone is a S6 Edge 64gb. Would there be a reason why it's not coming up as an S6 edge? I'm using http://www.imei.info.

The other thing is when I go into recovery mode It says this at the bottom. Is this normal?

"manual mode applying multi csc applied the cdc code: VZW Sucessfulfully applied multi-CSC. Successfully verify for dmverity hash tree"

As soon as the phone arrived, the battery was draining extremely quickly. So I decided to use Odin to flash stock nougat on the phone. It's not rooted as far as I can tell.

Can help? Thanks!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Phone not going to deep sleep is nothing to do with IMEI or CSC so don't worry about that.

The issue is the wakelock AnyMotionDetector. If AnyMotionDetector detects any movement it will remove the phone from doze. Use amplify to change wakelock settings for AnyMotionDetector.

Or do a full data/cache wipe through recovery and start again see if that solves or improves it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strandedhuman:
Thanks so much for your reply. My phone is not rooted so I can not use amplify. Are there any apps i can use with a not root phone? I have factory reset my phone about 6 times but every time the same thing happens. No deep sleep. Can a hardware failure be causing this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
It's a software issue not hardware. Try updating firmware. Or root your phone, and use amplify/ greenify any cpu auditor to tweak or even titanium backup so you can freeze the AnyMotionDetector see of that helps.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strandedhuman:
When you say update the firmware do you mean nougat? I've updated my device to the latest available nougat version. I will try those apps but don't I need to be rooted for those to be able to freeze Any MotionDetector? Thanks

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:

I also found this on git hub (screenshot) which tells me it's to do with radio/modem. I would try leaving phone on flight mode overnight and see if there's a difference.

With it being a kernel wakelock you can't do anything about it. Try a custom kernel?

That sucks. I wish I could downgrade to MM or lollipop without the dm verity error. Is there anyway I'm getting that error because of some hardware issue?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
You have to be very careful with the dm verity error. Because that is your efs files and folder and if they get corrupted you will have no network permanently. The wakelock can only be fixed with custom kernel.

Have you looked at a different model that can be unlocked to accept Verizon? Not sure how they work in the US as I'm from UK.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strandedhuman:
That's my plan. Find a Verizon model that can be rooted and buy that one hah

So it sounds like I'm out of options. I will sell the phone. I have an old Verizon phone I could use in the meantime. I was thinking about trying to flash this phone with the latest firmware again to see if that helps. Though I've done it so many times when I first received the phone. I know this is probably a complicated answer but why don't you think I'm getting the dm verity error with MM and Lollipop but not nougat? Thanks.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
It's because once you upgrade to another Android version it becomes locked so you can't downgrade. It's Samsung... It's silly. I had the dm verity on my s6 edge once when trying to downgrade.

Try updating again to newest nougat see if that helps. The problem is Verizon lock down there phones pretty good so it's impossible to root or tinker with.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strandedhuman:
Blah damn you verizon! Ok so I will flash the phone and then see what happens with wake lock. I'll keep it 100% stock. No new apps. No sim card. No wifi. No nothing. Lets see if that helps... I dunno. If that doesn't, I'll sell the phone on craigslist.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
