[Q] Xperia Z Dock with Speakers - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, does anybody know of an Xperia Z dock that has embedded speakers?
With data transfer to PC as well would be a super plus.
Can't seem to find anything on eBay :/
Thanks.

I guess it is not phisically posible to sync the Z via dock due to the USB port being covered.
The same can be said about audio out.
Unless it is a complex NFC+Bluetooth+Wifi combination.
Charging port does not carry data. It is for electricity only.
Z Ultra is a whole different story though, charging port provides sync.

Indeed, come to think of it...
The speaker quality is too low on the Z probably due to being waterproof.
That means that i'm better off buying a wireless speaker anything recommended?

I think so too.
The Z is no Soundmaschine but search for a Bluetooth Soundbox. I know its not a dockingstation but works also and easily

Connecting XZ to HD tv

Hey,
I want to connect my XZ directly to my LG Full HD tv so I can watch my pictures, videos etc on it. I was thinking about buying HDMI a cable for this, since I don't have a Throw compatible tv, but I have 3 questions about this:
- Will this cable really work with it?
- Can I plug it directly into the charging port of my XZ, or do I need an additional adapter?
- Will this harm my phone? I think we've all noticed the XZ gets hot pretty quick, so I assume this will make it even worse.
Thanks for your help.

-No that cable won't work as Xperia z doesnt have a micro hdmi port.
You need to get a mhl cable.
-The mhl cable plugs into the charging port.
-No it will not harm your phone, all smartphones get hot these days

Also when buying an mhl/hdmi cable or adapter (for use with a hdmi cable) do check it is the 5 pin version. Often you won't find info on that on the product, in that case you should be fine if it's compatible with Galaxy S2

Basic Charging Dock

Are there any basic charging docks for the Xperia T? I have serached everywhere I can thing and can not find a single one. I know we have the TV dock but this is a little over priced and all the functions are no required by myself. All I require is a dock for it to charge the device and maybe allow synchronising on my PC. Simple plastic mould with a usb cable stuffed inside. Would have thought chinese manufactuers would be all over stuff like that simple to pump out volumes and simple to adjust machines for different devices.

Idk but I'd like to know this too. I need a dock for that but not the TV features. Plus no sense in shelling out 55 USD for features that I may not use.
This is so sad. I've been searching left and right high and low and cannot find a basic dock for a TL. I came from Motorola and you have all the accessories available there and cheap too. At least next time, I know what phone to get next.

3rd party magnetic charger slow?

I want to buy a magnetic charger as it is a little hassle to always open the latch for the micro-usb port. Does anyone know if the micro-usb->magnetic adapters are as fast as normal charging? I'm thinking about something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnetic-Ch..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item58ae394974

It's just the same to me. I use such adapters and cables all the time on my z1 phone and z2 tablet as well as official dk31and dk39. I see no difference.

Is it possible to use a Z1 magnetical charger on the Z2 Tablet? Is it the same connector?

I got it yesterday and it seems to charge as fast as when connecting via USB normally. However the magnet is pretty weak so whenever moving the tablet it wants to come off by the weight of the usb-cable. It is best used laying on a flat surface.
actually I would prever a tiny magnetic adapter for QI so I can attack the magnetic and rely it on the pad and charge.
Nexus 7 and Samsung already Qi, I would charge all my devices Qi this way!

Correction, it WILL come off. The magnets are very week, as soon as I touch my tablet it flies off.
I've been thinking of getting this one:

or one that will stay on while I use the tablet, anyway.

Depends on spending the money compared to protecting your tablet. Have you checked the voltage read out on your tablet in your battery stats compared to a DK39/ and heat output reading.... The z1 to z2 fit can mess with the charge, affect heating during charging, AND the DK31 is built for a smaller output compared to the DK39. Yes its can charge as you've stated above, but its not AS healthy for your Z2 tablet core charging capability.

Interesting......I bought my Z2 Tablet in Canada, and it came with the exact usb charger I got with my Z1 phone; (wire gauge is also the same) ............so no difference in charging capability there.
At a glance side by side the charging ports on both devices appear to be exactly the same.
Tablet going strong four months now.......
i do take your point that a loose connection will generate a heat build up; but that is not the case here.

Moreover, Xperia Z doesn't support magnetic chargers either, only the Ultra does (tablet).
