Found a dock that works with the Z1 Compact - Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories

Hi all,
I just received the DK31 dock from here:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Magnet...=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1391267223&sr=1-1
I wasn't sure if it would work with the Z1c as Sony have a new version DK32. However, I can confirm the magnetic dock works fine with one of the included inserts. And the best thing is, you can take the dock apart by the screws and just use the cable instead of the dock if you want to.
Price is on par with other official mobile phone docks but it's pricey if you just want it for the magnetic charging cable.
Cheers,
Pete.

can DK32 not taken apart like DK31?

Nope.. or rather... it works n a different way.
There is a microUSB socket at the back of the cradle instead of the built in cable

Why does that dock have a full-sized USB output on it?

Hi also a new owner of Z1 Compact. Tried the dk31 in the sony store today but that did not fit my z1 compact? Does z1 compact actually fit in dk31

DK31 has interchangable sized fittings.

Thanks for the info well the sony store guy lost a sale was going to buy the dock there and then. Will check sony store in central tomorrow.

Just got the phone today and came here to report but thankfully you have done it already. Now I don't have to spend more money on another one.

just as an update......
Dock arrived today from Amazon. looks just like the d32 but not of the same Sony quality which is to be expected i guess. Fits the phone perfectly and does whats required...charges it.
All in all very please considering its half the cost.

wonder which case they say it can be used with?
I have the roxfit carbon flip at the moment and no way to use this, have just ordered the case mate tough and dont think that has cutouts for the dock either.

Cant honestly tell you and would not know how to check. I am using the standard charger and cable which is plugged into the micro usb connector in the back of the dock. Seems to charge pretty quick to me. Dont really know why the standard usb connector is there really.

Has anyone seen a similar product on ebay? Amazon don't send to where I live

+1 on the cheap Z1 dock. Mine arrived yesterday.
Amazon also stocks little usb attachments which convert standard micro usb to the magnetic charging type. Confirm these work also - they just hang a little loose, but seem to charge while sat on the desk just fine and save me fiddling with the micro usb flap.
PS. Noticed the cheap dock has an additional USB port which can charge the smartwatch at the same time.

more stock due approx 20th February - DK32
Clove.co.uk will have stock of the official dock on 20 February £24.99

I bought a cheap no-name magnetic charger from ebay (bad idea, I know) - it was supposed to be compatible with the Z1 so I thought it would work with this. My Z1c didn't recognize it initially, then switched off and seemed to be bricked - couldn't get it to boot up and just got the flashing red notification light (I had 75% battery remaining when I tried to connect the charger). A day later it started working again, but I was panicking for a moment. I'm going to buy the official DK31 dock and remove the charger from that.

Bought the dk32 dock on Amazon and am disappointed. I thought it integrated the charger too when in fact you plug the charger into it.
Overpriced (32€) for what it is

Desk Stand

Anyone got a decent desk stand for their trinity? I'm after one. If you can post links to where you got your that would be great. (already did a search and no luck).
you mean a cradle ?
I have got the Trinity Cradle (Not the one with a spare battery charger place) from Expansys.
Also bought the Car Kit from Expansys - Car kit is handy, esp when going to places and need the GPS to last longer.
I got mine on ebay from Hong Kong. It was very cheap but took forever to ship. I should have bought it from egadgetdepot.com, where I origianally got my Trinity.
I also bought form egadgetdepot.com my trinity and the "desk stand". It gets the work done.
You can also look at boxwave.com, their screen protectors are very good also, not as good as the ones from shieldzone.com (they dont have shields for P3600 yet)
Good luck

Anyone has this here?
http://www.expansys.at/p.aspx?i=145160&asource=P3600_DE
Does it also switch on the camera?
I'm pretty sure this one won't ....
I just got this on ebay, it came from China pretty cheap. It has 2 plugs in the back, one to charge via USB and the other is a regular plug.
Also, it has a slot on the inside so the camera button doesn't get pressed when charging. Strangely, it comes with a large stylus that goes into a hole and lights up blue.

Any other dock that uses dock pins?

I think the google desktop dock is way to expensive, as i only need it as a charger and have no need for the A2DP function.
But all the cheap dock's on ebay uses the USB connection and not the dock pins, has anybody found a cheap dock that has dock pins connection?
It's much more convenient to be able to just drop the phone in a dock instead of needing to connect the phone to a dock, and be able to use the dock mode is a plus when you use it as an alarm clock.
I was wondering the same thing, is it that hard to reproduce that? I havnt seen anything besides the usb ones either and i have heard it can screw up the usb connection of n1s so didnt want to buy one of those
Exactly the same thoughts here
does anyone have specs of which pins do what? (i.e. do you apply +5 v to pin 1, ground to pin2, etc)
i've got some ideas on a homebrew dock.

Search for the thread: "Dock Pinout"
It seams that it alot harder, that there is a binary communication in one of the pins, not just a current that tells it to go into dock mode...
Doh! delete my post haha.
Just bought an original Nexus One Desktop Dock brand new from Ebay for $15.00 . The seller has 49 more available. It arrived today and it's all original with sealed packaging. Just throwing it out there if anyone is interested.

Too bad it isn't shipped for free outside the US. Shipping costs are more than half of the costs of the dock itself :silly:

brought last week http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/330770220824?item=330770220824
Dock US $15.00
Shipping US $8.46 (Germany)
Thats €18,65 (a new one costs 60€ at launch day ..)
I bought the dock when I first got the nexus one. If you guys get one for cheap and want to continue using the Nexus One, go for it. I mean the phone does slide down easly if the bump against the dock. But the lack of wear on the usb connector is well worth it.
Do you mind giving any feedback on this unit? I want to buy a separate charger cause I have a spare battery and OEM dock the previous owner bought new with the phone but I want to be able to charge the spare battery without swapping back and forth from the phone. Its a real hassle. I don't want to buy a charger that ends up cooking the battery.

Desktop Dock and Car Dock

Hello Guys i found this 2 items on ebay.
They say is original HTC, so wanted to see if you guys think that the price is possible and your opnion of this been real or not.
Cant post links yet but here they are..
"w w w.ebay.com/itm/270996377935?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"
"w w w.ebay.com/itm/270994736033?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"
The reason i ask is because of the price.
Looks pretty legit to me. 45199 positive feedback. The box with the car mounted one looks to be official HTC. Either way, I just bought both of them so I'll let you know how it turns out.

Well there is only a MHL port that is used for charging guess i can connect it to the dock and see.
Not sure about the HDMI but I can confirm these are very solid pieces of equipment and very much worth the $10.

True, havent tested hdmi on these, but i can say that this are official original and i just saved maybe about 80-100 bucks.
Now installing my second desktop top to put on my office. Got a new back cover replaced battery and wont be replacing this phone for some time now. Specially now that has 4.1.2.

Can you let me know if the Desktop Dock provides enough clearance for a slim TPU Silicone case to remain on the phone while you charge it? Thanks!
Ordered both. Hoping that it will work with hdmi. Really excited for the car dock and hoping that it leaves the camera free.

1 question MHL-usb which one will best one
ok i will be adding car docks
some anti finger print cover for back
How about some very thin transparent anti finger print cover or coating for back ?
Include the charging dock (if its available yet)
Buy a fast memory card for this phone!
This from amazon for example;
SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A)
Its only $29.67 .
I am pretty sure it will be a pain to use the other card that was linked to above.....
This is a FAST phone....

They probably meant the charging dock. The SXZ has two contact point at the leftside of the phone. Clicking it in a dock will have it charge through these contacts. This technically is wireless. The dock has a wire, but no wires are required to charge the phone from the dock.

I've heard of a case cover that include the QI technology but I don't find official source for that.
It should be pretty easy for third-party companies to create covers that include Qi wireless charging thanks to the dock connectors on the side.

It's not about the DK26 charging station because it's already included in the retail package sold by the Sony Store.
Other packages from operators may not include this dock... depending on their own strategy.
Concerning QI like charging dock, the vendor was telling me that he has no info about the availibility but he heard of it.
Of course the 2 charging pins can be used with a special case cover... Don't know yet

Blitzwolf dual sided (reversible) micro usb cable safe for galaxy s6?

Hey all,
Do you guys have any experience with a dual sided micro usb cable? I just ordered one from Blitzwolf. Most aliexpres and banggood sellers say it's compatible with the S6, but one of them says it isn't. I've found a youtube video of someone who's using one for his galaxy s6. So it does fit, but is it also safe?

Never heard of this before. Looks interesting. The reviews on Amazon are positive, but I've seen many fake reviews on other Blitzwolf products on Amazon. One reviewer mentioned the following, which concerns me: "The micro USB end really clicks into ports, like almost too firmly. Not sure if this is bad or not for the port in the long run."

Yes that's it! It does feel quite firm, but not that firm, I guess. I hope that there are more people who tried this cable on the Galaxy S6.
How'd the cables go? I just ordered 4 of them from banggood, 2x 2m and 2x 1m braided (were on sale) and plan on using them with my s7.

USB only uses 4 pins; on the Micro connector, they are all on one side. So, a reversible connector, if wired properly, will be perfectly safe.
