[Q] Xperia Z not charging from Mophie Juice Power Pack - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm facing a strange problem.
I have a 6000 mA Mophie Juice Power Pack.
It works great charging an iPhone, iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7
It worked with SGS3 while I had it.
a few days ago I have tried to charge Xperia Z from Mophie Power Pack and nothing happened.
I checked specifications on Mophie site and found out it can charge devices with up to 2.1A requirements.
Does anyone know if Xperia Z needs more than this?
Is there any solution to this problem?
Thank you.

I ran into the same issue. The Xperia Z is a little fussy, you need an adapter that blocks the data pins on the USB cable to force the Xperia Z to draw the 2A required to charge it.
Google PISEN USB Vita adapater (or similar). That did the trick for me!

[Q] phone resets when you plug charger in

I've been noticing that when I plug in my charger from my Xperia S, my Z1 performs a reset before deciding to charge. It wasn't like this always, just since the weekend.
Anyone else have this?
Does the charger that comes with the Z1 offer better performance or can I stick with this charger using it as I am?

That is rough, sorry to hear. My charger that came with the phone charges much faster than my old usb cords and chargers. Probably due to Qualcomm's fast charge technology

Quickcharge 2.0 with Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet

I've been using my HTC Rapid Charger Quick Charge 2.0 with my new Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet and it charges in just under 3 hours for a 0 to 100% charge.
Not sure what the standard charge time is with the stock charger, since I haven't even taken it out of the box Just easier for me to use the same charge and cable to charge both my phone and tablet. Has anyone else measured that?
My HTC One M8 usually gets quite hot during quick charging, but didn't notice the same thing with the Z2. It only went up to around 35 degrees at the highest, for a short while.
I need 4.5 hours with stock charger (15% to 100%).

So 2.0 quick charging is working?
Do you really get 60% in first 30 minutes with HTC charger?
Yes, it's listed here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/devices/all?feature=Quick Charge 2.0
Does anybody know where to buy a quickcharge 2.0 charger with a euro plug?

No, those 60% in 30 mins is claimed with a much smaller phone battery..not with our 6000 mAh tablet battery. On my HTC One M8, it gets to about 50% in 30 mins.

Are you from Denmark? I bought mine from here: http://www.mytrendyphone.dk/shop/htc-tc-p1000-164522p.html
Not the cheapest option, but the only one with euro plug that i could find.
got official answer:
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.
To be able to utilise the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology, the smartphone or tablet as well as the charger need to support Quick Charge 2.0. If you want to use a magnetic charging dock, this must also support Quick Charge 2.0.
Currently, there are no original Sony chargers that support the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology. This means that, at present, you cannot charge Xperia™ devices using original Sony chargers utilising Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
However, some Xperia™ devices and magnetic charging docks are prepared for and support the Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 technology. Again, as there is currently no original Sony charger that supports Quick charge 2.0, these devices cannot utilise Quick Charge 2.0 using an original Sony charger.
Regarding the charge time, according to our environmental declaration a full charge takes 5.8 hours while the tablet is turned off.

Wow, a normal full charge takes 5.8 hours? Even with tablet off..that sounds a bit crazy. Then im definitely glad i'm using the Quickcharger and getting it done in half that time..even with the tablet powered on.
As for the magnetic charger, it has been confirmed in other Xperia forums that Sony's dock and magnet supports Quickcharging, but most 3rd party ones don't. I'm using some cheap magnetic connector from eBay, and it charges quite slow (and half the times the magnet doesn't even keep it connected and it keeps falling off )
from my experience tablet charges in 4 hours (even if it`s turned on, from original SOny charger 1.5A 5V), from 20-30% to full. So this estimation is correct.
Anyone can recommend a good ansd cheap charger that support QC 2.0 or there already some thread about this on XDA somewhere?

Not sure where you are from but there are several good and cheap ones on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OVD3FEU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...obile_desktop?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
There is not really any difference between all of them, as long as they are certified by Qualcomm to work with QC 2.0.
There's a list of all certified chargers on this page: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge
and here is an especial cheap offer http://www.androidauthority.com/quick-charge-explained-563838/
So... do ALL z2 Tablets support QuickCharge 2.0 ? Because only the Japanese Z2 Phone supports Quickcharge!
Cool.
My quick charger that came with my samsung galaxy s6 initiates rapid charging on my z2 table, it even says rapidly charging when I plug it in

well sometime i use lenovo k900's charger with 2A output, nothing weird happen excepts my phone is a little warmer than stock charger. I think i won't cause damage (i usually using dock charger for xperia z with 1.8A output, larger than 1.5A output on the stock charger, nothing weird up to now ). But, you shouldn't use that charger too often. Stock charger is always the safetest way
sorry for my bad english

i m using sony 2A charger for last 1 yr and i have no prblem with that. instead it charges the mobile faster and better
The phone regulates the charging current it 'pulls' from the charger. So you could plug it into a 10A charger and it won't harm it.

Using old xperia charger on nexus 6

Hi I have a xperia arc s charger that has been going strong for a number of years. Model ep 800 with a Sony ec801 data cable (xperia z).
Output is 5v and 850 ma. I usually charge at night so the extra time won't matter to me I've got the original charger in the work bag in case I need it.
The old charger won't damage my new nexus 6 will it?

It's no problem. I regularly use an old Samsung Note 2 charger on my N6.
Cool now just wondering whether to use ambient display or not, some say it's a battery hog some say it's fine. Oh well trial and error here we come.

Slow Charging??

Hey Peeps
Anyone else getting slow charging on SM-T810?
Using the bundled charger, I am getting average of only 680mA .... Definitely nothing over 950mA and that is even when screen is off...
Using the same charger and cable on my sony xperia Z3 easily achieve 1400mA ...
Same sort of numbers with other chargers etc... So pretty sure it is device not charger...

I just tested and am getting around 1500 mA. That is with my nexus 6 charger.
Bundled charger gives me around 1460 mA.
Are you certain it`s not the app that is wrong as the S2 is new and the app might not have been updated yet, Try the Samsung charging app below, you have to keep pressing the refresh button on the free version.

The charging rate can be anything from 300mAh to the maximum the power adapter can output, the tablet will determine the amount of power it will accept, and will jump from fast to slow charge depending on how much more power is needed until it reach 100%.
Thanks guys - obviously does not seen to be wide issue.
I tried the Samsung app above ... Sort of showed similar values ....
I did a charge from 69% to full and it took about 1.5 hours... So would be maybe 5 hours to charge fully?? Unless the device does much quicker charging at very low battery??
I will do a full discharge down to say 5% and then charge from there and see how I go.
Thanks again

I would install battery monitor widget from 3c on the play store.
A pretty comprehensive battery app and will give you a full history and time line of charging and discharging cycles.

Normally it will trickle charge slow once it reach approximate 80%, and is normally fast if the unit is almost power empty.
It's annoying. I've tried both ipad chargers and a 2.4A charger, but it will go to slow charging mode with anything else than the bundled charger.

Yeah i have found exactly the same!! Must be some sort of Samsung handshake protocol...
There is another thread on this that I have mentions about this, just use a good quality charger, or just go for a Qualcomm QC 2.0 charger from any known brand like htc, aukey, xpower, lots to name, just searh Qualcomm site for a full list.
It won't used the QC2.0, but all should work just like the OEM Samsung one
the ipad charger should be pretty high quality though, so I don't get why it's being so picky.

If you also followed the tab S thread, it's also been mentioned, Samsung tabs S are also picky, and yes all apple stuff don't work.
Should I rephrase it and say some good quality charger will work, even branded ones like sony may not even work, but my intital testing, most QC 2.0 charger will work.
The issue is that I'm trying to find one charger that will charge both my tab s2 and my iphone 6+ quickly. Any idea how qc chargers fare with iphones? The bundled tab s2 charger only gave my iphone 0.4A (it charges the tablet at 1.5A)
I have both sony and asus chargers with included cables work perfectly with iphones and sony xperia z3 and nexus 7... Hopeless with S2.... But s2 charger works fine with them..

Odd, my old Nexus 7 2012 charger fast-charges my S2 710 without any issue at all. I had it spare as the N7 died on me (the S2 is its replacement) and was initially wondering myself as I had a few supposedly 2A chargers at home which only slow-charged the S2 (or indeed under Android 5.0.2 said it wasn't charging at all, even though it evidently was, but 5.1.1 has fixed that).
That said this is a charger without fixed cable (but with a decent USB cable) and I know from Raspberry Pi experience that the cable is almost as important as the charger for getting decent charging (ie enough current) to the device on the far end.
I would make sure the USB cable is a decent one intended for charging.
Proper charging USB cables have the shield connected at both ends for use as ground which is why they are notably thicker.

I agree, a good quality cable is required, as well as the charger itself, I'm using a magnetic cable and a reversible micro USB cable with a OEM Samsung, Aukey and Xpower charger, I don't get the speed of the QC 2.0, but it isn't suppose to as the S2 is not QC 2.0 compatible, but it does charge pretty quick, it also charges my ipod 4, and my nw-ZX2 work without any problems.
I get the "slow charging" message when using the Galaxy Tab S2 bundled charger.
If I use the charger from my Note 4 (Exynos) I get faster charging and no "slow" warning.
Did Samsung bundle it with the slow charger??
I can confirm that samsung did in fact bundle the tab s2 WITHOUT a quick charge usb charger.
I also thought the tab s2 didnt come with quick charge. I have extremely slow charge times but my battery lasts for DAYS... I can fully charge it, put it in airplane mode and check on it after 2 days and be at 98-99% battery.
I also use the quick charge cable AND the quick charge usb adapter that came with my note 5 and the tab still slow charges..
Here the same problem use Samsung charger and cable charge from 20% to 100% in 6 hrs and when use HUAWEI cable with Samsung charger It charged in 2 hrs
I guess Samsung have poor quality cable *-*
