23.0.1.A.0.167 and Noise Cancelling?

tl;dr version

For those of you with un-rooted handsets who have upgraded OTA to 23.0.1.A.0.167  / 4.4.4, does the noise cancellation function still work with the supplied headset?

Longer version for those who like context...:

My UK, sim-free and un-rooted Z2 has finally asked to update to 23.0.1.A.0.167.  The major gripes on here seem to be around icon size and camera lag, both of which I reckon I can live with.

There have been some reports, however, of the noise cancellation function no longer working with the supplied headset.  This would be a deal-breaker for me, and I'd rather stay on 4.4.2 if that's the case.  My Z2 is un-rooted, and I have no desire to root, as it would break an internet banking app that I use a lot.  Thus I have no method that I know of to downgrade back to 4.4.2 if the noise cancellation function is indeed borked.

A bit of Googling suggests that at least some of the problems with nosie cancellation are from those running rooted handsets, and/or who have "manually" upgraded to 4.4.4 using a stock ROM.

Hi, just double check that your headphones are still selected after the update.....Settings - Sound - Audio settings - Headphones

There is a wider selection now so best to check :smileysmileywink:
