Hi guys,
Do you know if there's any case for ZL adding QI charging function? I know there are from for Z, but cannot finf any for ZL.

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.

Got one of these a couple of weeks ago and no problems with it. Using it with the official charger and seems to charge fine. Guess I got one that was not assembled on a Friday afternoon.

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
Seen a few sites mention the Z1C has Wireless Charging.
Does anyone know?
Going to get magnetic cables if not.
No afraid not

Are the magnetic cables for the Xperia Z, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z1 Compact all the same?

I think I'm going to hunt a few mobile shops for the official magnetic dock tomorrow.
Get a look at more cases too. This Roxfit Book Case is expensive trash.
I think it might be possible to make a qi receiver with a magnetic clamp to go on the side pins, with the pad inside a back case. I wonder if anyone will do this? Like the universal micro usb ones, but with xperia magnetic connector in the phone end.

QI wireless charging standard
So you are sure that Z1 Compact did not support QI wireless charging standard?

Yes, Z1 Compact does NOT support Qi. It has magnetic charging port though.
Are the magnetic charge pins compatible with the Z1 compact? Can I use the Z1C dock?

Yes, are compatible and the dock can still be used !
there are also a new dock for the Z3 series:

Is there an advantage in buying the new version vs the old one?
The z1c dock is cheaper and already available...

The pins in both docks are the same but the cut-out for the phones and inserts will be different.
The only advantage of getting the new one (DK48) over the old one (DK32) will be because the Z1 Compact (9.5mm) and the Z3 Compact (8.6mm) have different thickness, the new dock will be a better fit than the old one.

Exactly
These seem to be the best, with the strongest magnet, from my searching.

Got the adapter and the cable yesterday.
I prefer the cable because the adapters design lets it disconnect very easily while charging.
The magnets are very very strong compared to the original sony ones! With both i can even lift the xperia z ultra without it falling off the cable. The original sony one disconnects directly.
The only think bugging me is the the charging port design:
the original sony one has a flat housing on the contacts side. This one has a "U" Shape (to support itself at the case). i think this could get problematic when using a case without much space at the magnet port.
I'd like to post pictures but my camera is currently not working. I'll upload some tomorrow!
I hope my English is good enough
//Edit: it worked now, heres the pic!
Can someone please verify that these three magnetic dock chargers - DK30, DK31 and DK48 - deliver the same amount of charge to the phone in terms of amperes/watts, etc.
I found varying information online...
It's just a cable and box, what will determine how it charges will be what charger you plug into it at the wall socket. (don't use a computer usb port or be prepared to wait a loooong time for it to charge)
Wow simple answer, thanks a lot techguyone that clears out the doubt in my mind!
Polarity?
Can someone check pins polarity? Where is positive?
I have disassembled craddle, and I need to resolider it again...
Help me, please....
My z1 compact is not charging through the usb connector and whenever I charge it there is no lightning bolt indicator indicating that its charging and also the stamina mode icon beside the battery disappears whenever I plug it.
I never submerged it in water nor it was dropped or had any kind of damage, the only thing I suspect is the charger I am using, I am not using the default charger rather I am using a samsung charger, 1st I had it checked to a friend of mine who is a cellphone technician and a very good one, he told me that xperia phones especially z series are prone to this kinds of damage when using other charger or class a replica chargers, then I recalled that I was indeed using a fake charger and remembered that during that time there was a sudden disconnection of electricity or sudden blackout and sudden reconnection of electricity, fake charger cant handle sudden electricity changes so it might had and impact on my phone, so I sent it to sony center and waited for 3 weeks (minimum waiting time) then I received a call from them to pick up my phone but it was not repaired because the problem is in the board and it would be xpensive to repair (I have no more warranty) like buying a new unit they said,my phone still connects to my pc and I noticed that when I charge it my battery is not discharging but also not charging fast enough because I was charging it for 24 hours and it only went up for 1%, from 7% to 8%, then I left it for another 24 hours but the percentage is not moving up, I can still connect it through my pc though, who does have this kind of problem?
also will my phone charge when I charge it through the magnetic dock?I dont have any friends who have a magnetic dock so i cant check it and if I will buy one and it does not work then its another waste of money,since sony cant fix it anymore does that mean that my phone now will just be a paper weight,i am really disappointed,hope somebody could help me..tia
I'm using Samsung charger from time to time when I forget my xperia charger and have similar problem but in my case when my battery lvl is up to 98% led turn off and my phone won't charge anymore but when I plug stock charger everything is normal and my phone is charged to 100%

Do you know anyone with a Sony phone and see if their charger works on your phone?
Seems likely that your Samsung charger might have damaged the usb port, but the magnetic charging port is separate.
The cost of a magnetic clip will be cheaper than a new phone or sending it back for repair. Also using the magnetic clip saves ware and tare on the waterproof usb cover that you keep pulling off/on to charge it.

the charger I was using works on my moms z1 and also the xperia charger that came with my z1 compact works on my moms z1..
I already bought a magnetic charger and checked it first on my moms and it works fine but on my z1 compact its just like when I plug it in the usb port,still no charging bolt icon,the stamina mode icon on the battery disappears,I guess it realy is a board problem,my phone is useless now,this is a very bad experience for me and I love sony products,use to have x8 to x10 mini phones but theyre dependable,not like what I have experienced with the z1 compact,I think I will not buy anymore sony products

well its quite simple, other phones are not "sensitive" like this,other brands like samsung,lg even htc and blackberry doesnt have any problems when using other charger besides the charger that came with it,I can prove that because I also own other brands,if Sony's items are so premium then why is it so sensitive like that? are they using cheap parts but sell their products at a high price because theyre struglling you know thats why they sold their vaio brand and will not make anymore laptops,next would be the smartphones,and its just not me,I found out that I am not alone in experiencing this problems,o well,better move on,it has been great sony,tnx
I have the same problem with charging. It start 2 days ago, and I was using only Sony charger, but it just stopped charging. In one moment I heat it up with a hair drier and it start charging , and when it gets cold it stopped. I heat it up again and start charging again. :/ This is more than unusual !!! :/ What it could be?

It will be solved with battery substitution.
Mine won't charge, stuck on 50%, when connected even the red light isn't on, you can see in the image
I bought a used Z1 compact and it didn't come with a charger. Used my LG and wouldn't charge. Tried different leads still not charging using adapter charger via usb port. Began charging using usb on laptop? Then used my wifes apple charger via usb port and charging!
I use the standard charger (the one with 2 'lumps' on the cable, but occasionally another cable (whichever lands in my hand). All ok until 6 months ago, when I replaced the battery . It was Ok for a while, but then I had to start using the magnetic charger.
Today I checked the usb charge point for dust etc., and now it is charging on its own usb charger! I happened to use a needle, but don't recommend it. Maybe a plastic toothpick, or cocktail sausage stick? A toothpick is too big, and might leave splinters.
z1 compact d5503 wont charge or turn on
i bought this model off ebay and rooted it and installed the custom rom and it's working beautifully...until i used it to 0 power. the charger then wouldn't charge it. i waited an hour and nothing, i got the three vibrations when i hit power and up but the nothing again. my solution...i rummaged through my old chest and found another micro sd charger. put it in and BAM the red light at the top went solid. my problem was the charger cable.
