hi,
Since 2 days my Z1c doesn't charge from the magnetic connector.
I've been using a variety of cables since i got the phone (not the official dock) and it's always charged fine.
Now when I connect my cable, the LED turns red, the phone says it's on an AC charger, so it still recognizes the charger, but the battery does not charge.
When i connect the USB cable it does all the above plus the battery charges.
So far I have restored the phone using pc companion, but to no avail.
Any ideas before I hand my phone back to sony ?
Tia,
John

Forgot to mention, I checked the dock. It measures out correctly and charges the Z1C from a colleague. I'm afraid it's the phone

I had the same problem, then in the morning by unplugging the phone the connectors of the phone broke off and remained on the dock.
Monday I try to send it in for repair... I think I've lost the waterproof
Maybe your phone uses more battery than the dock can charge. With this app you can check how much power your phone uses or if its being charged.

Same problem exactly!
I just ordered the flex cable from Aliexpress. Waiting for delivery which may be a minimum of 10 to 15 days.
Till then I am using an external charger to charge a spare battery.

What you can do is order the part, its $4 to $5. Then you ask a local shop to replace it.

Just change the Flex Cable and still the same problem
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?

this is related to this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ttery-reporting-phone-dying-suddenly-t3095120
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.
I've got a 3.1A car charger but when I plug in the M9 I get the show charge warning. With the GPS and Bluetooth it isn't strong enough to charge the phone. Is this the phone or do I need a different charger.
I'm having the same problem. My charger in my car is actually sucking the charge out of my phone. I'm going to buy one from HTC direct. I just got the Quick Charge 2.0 and that seems to be working. Works better with the screen off. But you're not the only one going through this.
I get the same issue with mine, I tend to find the car charger doesn't actually charge the phone, but just maintains the current level of charge. Going to purchase the one offered through the HTC site

The USB cable that plugs into the charger and then into your phone. I've seen reports where changing out the cable made a difference.

Ideally, one that works well when plugged in at home. That way you know the cable is good.
Usually your phone will stop charging if the phone gets too hot. Do you live in a hot area? It could be because of that.

I had the same problem. Try a new cable between the power adapter and wireless charger. Get a high quality cable, usually the thicker ones are better.
I did... I does work if turn off fast charge

If you have the wireless charger connected to the original samsung fast charger that came with your handset then return the wireless plate As faulty then.

Maybe a defective USB port. Try returning the phone to repair it
I returning my phone to repair, he come back with a new board, they have open the phone
now my question is: It Is Always waterproof?
If it is the official one in theory they have to return your phone as it was new, this means that it has to be also waterproof. This was what LG Spain told me when I asked about waterproofness after a repair.

It isn't waterproof... water inside camera but the paper in the sim slot is white
and i think they have (or water?) broke the microphone (the down microphone) because it is quite low volume and low quality recording from the recorder audio on that side
Water was come in but stiker is still white is the warranty valid?
Read carefully the phone description.
IP68 Dust and Water Resistant

It's no waterproof. It's water resistant only.
