The charger which Sony provides has a really small wire so is there a genuine long wire charger available for z1 as it is impossible to use the phone while charging. So I m looking for long wire charger which is equal to the oem charger.

I just use a USB extension cord. Or another charger (usually a 2A one so it charges quicker)

you just need longer usb cable.. i use my samsung usb cable and charger, it works perfect
Dies in effects the charging speed.?
Sent from my C6902 using Tapatalk 4
Any good USB cable shouldn't affect speeds, that depends on the maximum current that can be supplied by the charger (until the device starts limiting that).

Specs aren't listed and I've already wasted money on 2 car chargers that don't charge my note 2, despite being touted to do so.

Well..they charge him, but in slow mode. Connect your phone and go to Settings->Battery..and you will see one of this "Charging (USB)" or "Charging (AC)". If it says USB, then you only have 500 mA, and AC gives you max from your charger. Original charger for Note 2 is 2A. So, I doubt that any car charger will give you that amount of electric charge. It can help, but it is a really slow process.

Does your cigarettlighter-outlet in your car working?
I'm using a SonyEricsson MicroUSB car charger bought and used with the SE Xperia X10 Mini in 2010. It does easily charge the Note1 while using Google Navigate+GPS and the Spotify (Via Bluetooth with the car stereo).
this subforum for N7000, I suppose?

I purchased a splitter from Amazon that came with 2 cigarette and 2 USB connections. I used the cable that came with my N7000 originally and plugged that in and it works fine. You can go on eBay and search for 2ah USB cigarette charger and just use the cable that came with the note to charge it up.
I wouldn't buy any longer cables as it seems to slow down the charging process by quite a bit.

Can anyone verify this? If it really works with Z1? i bought one and its not charging. I use a 2.1A Innergie Plug with a 2.1Amp input which is the same current as the original charger.
When you buy things from China/Hong Kong, you may get something dodgy - not saying you definately will, but when you hear about exploding iphones and whatnot, I think it is down to that.
I just bought the official charger for the Xperia Z Ultra, and took out the cable from the dock and just use that personally.
Have now 4 magntic charging cables dismantled from the dock, all 4 work perfectly and grant fast charging ..........................

Is dismantling the dock easy? I'm somewhat of a beginner at things like that.

Do you know if the magnetic cable works with the USB port of a laptop?

no it doesn't
and the Z Ultra Dock and Z1 dock are the same except for the slot as the phones are different thickness - I use a ZU dock with my Z1
and to the OP - the Sony original charger has the data pins shorted out to enable fast charging when the phone detects this - it is the phone that decides whether to fast charge or not based on the shorted pins

Thank you, what do you mean wit " the OP"?, Which is the data pin?
Other hand, do you know if the cable has any polarity?
OP = Original post
yes there is polarity - +
The USB has 4x pins/connections - + and two data pins in the middle, as the mains charger has no use for data connection they are shorted out on the charger to enable the phone to identify a charger with fast charge ability
you could have a 2.1 amp charger connected to the phone but if the data pins are not shorted out the phone will limit the charge rate at 0.5 amps or 500ma
Also what charger/wire are you using?
I got a used phone with the LG charger and wire but the wire was damaged so I am using an iphone charger plus a dollar store micro USB cable. The charge is painfully slow, I just did 40% in 2 hours.
What combination are you using and how long does it take to charge?
Don't forget original lg charger provides 5v at 1.2 amps. Use a bigger one and definetely not a cheap usb cable.

its normally takes 3.5 to 4.5 hours to take full charge from 10%, im using the stock charger but i change the usb cable because it was giving me problems.
So its my recommendation to change the usb cable an give a try.
Hi all
How much time does it take for you to fully charge your xperia zl from 0 to 100. Mine takes more than 5 hours. This is unusual. Dining send it for replacement.
Sent from my C6502 using Tapatalk
Are you using the wall charger or just through USB on the computer?
I use the charger+cable which came with the phone, and it takes like 3-4 hours to charge it completely.
I use wall charger I even got a fast charger with 1500mA rating still it takes more than 5 hrs
Sent from my C6502 using Tapatalk
Are you using it while it is charging, or do you leave it with the screen off to charge?
I have left it without using still it takes 5 plus hours. Tried multiple such combinations

After market cable can cause this because it has low amp output, I also faced the same issue if I use 3rd party cable, using original or cable that rated atleast 1amp output will shorten charging time.

I am using ep850 charger. The cable doesn't specify the rating how do u guys know the rating of cable. However the cable came with y ep850 1500mA charger

Might be value in testing charging while the phone's actually powered off... (might be some significant power drain from a running app...)
Hello everyone
I also noticed that my device takes a while to load
However I noticed my charger shows the model EP-880 1500mA
I believe that may be a firmware issue

I was using another cable that originally came on my Xperia Mini which are both different models (using was to be longer)
So I started to use the original (Cable Model EC801) and now loads faster
I noticed that the cable Xperia Mini has two boxes (which would be a resistor or something?) In the middle of the cable, and ZQ does not have any of them
What are the specifications of the official Xperia ZL charger as I bought my phone without the charger and I had to buy another Sony charger separately and I don't know if it is the official one or not, if any one can post a picture of the charger, that would be very helpful.

ZL charger has 1.5amp output, just search for any charger that has this output or more. You can charge with 1amp charger also but it will take a longer time and ur charger will become too hot once it charge in a longer period. It will shorthen ur charger lifespan.
Other than that, ur cable output capability also play important role, search for atleast 1amp output cable, more amp more good but a bit expensive. Just google the spec of the cable or ask the seller.

Guys I confirm that mine was also because of the cable. I took Samsung cable and put it in my charger head. Now the charging is ok

Hey guys!
I just bought my xperia z3c last week and it came with a 0.85A charger. However unfortunately, i connected the charger to a faulty power socket and it ruined my charger. So i went and bought a new charger with a charging output of 1A. However when i used the new charger and used the phone, I noticed that the touch screen did not function properly. So should i get a charger with less amp output? Please help

Hi there,
The Amp does not affect the phone even if you have 3A adapter it will not affect the phone
the phone will pull the Amps as it need to charge
however if the Voltage is different than 5V maybe that what causing the issue
my Z3 compact adapter came with 5V 1.5A
Also there is Quick Charger 2.0 (5V 2A / 9V 2A / 12V 1.5A )
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OVD3FEU/
but the Quick charger need to be certified
hope that help
Thanks alot man

If it's a proper USB charger it should be putting out 5v but there are many chargers that do output 5V but are electrically noisy and this causes interference that stops the touch screen from working. I had a OEM Blackberry one that stopped iphone and HP pre/touchpad screens from working.
Ken @ http://www.righto.com/2012/10/a-dozen-usb-chargers-in-lab-apple-is.html did a nice review of some common ones and showed the difference in the quality of the power they provided.
If you have more then one phone, or a phone and tablet that you need to charge at the same time I have had good luck with Anker's family sized chargers.
Thanks for the links man
