MHL cable

I bought the MHL cable shown in pic,but I am not able to use,I tried connecting the usb part to my charger,still no use:crying:

The mhl cable for the s3 does not work with the Xperia Z.
You need to get the s2 cable as pictured below.
Here is a brief review by me posted earlier today in other threads
"Ok so tried the Samsung mhl cable (for the s2)
And Works with the Xperia z.
Tv launcher loads Works fine, so does the home screen. BUT it somewhat lags scrolling through them.
Where as the Xperia s with micro hdmi Works great and smoothly.
I've tried full hd/ 1080p videos; they all run smoothly on the Xperia z via mhl
Also you must plug it into a usb port (for charging) or plug the usb into your tv for the mhl to work
Refer to pic below.
I think there is an issue with the mhl cable (compatibility maybe) or it could be an issue with tv launcher/Home screen app
Who knows maybe Sonys mhl will work better."

Really!?
Hmm seems odd.
I'll just wait for the official Sony one.
Any lag with the s3 one?
You root the xZ?

when I reported the issue ,the vendor gave the one below,it works great.It seems the one for S2 and note 1

i've seen a few shops that state the original "Samsung Galaxy S2 and Note 1 MHL Cable Adapter" should work BEST for the xperia z, although others will work too with it.
i don't know if there really is a difference in tech specs in these MHL Adapters, but the Samsung thing costs the same i guess, about 20 Euro.
The difference in the Galaxy S3 compatible MHL Adapter is the pin order from the Micro USB cable and it's said to be not workin with the Xperia Phones because of that.

P9000 - Charging takes more than 14 hours

Hi all,
I just got my P9000, it came with no charger, just the cable.
I already tried 5 different chargers and with all of them I get the same result, device takes more than 14 hours to charge (from 10%).
Already tried it with:
- An ASUS USB charger (used for ASUS tablet)
- Quick Charge Qualcomm Certification 2.0
- 2.4 A charger
- No-brand 1.5 A charger
- A ZTE phablet charger
I tried all these chargers with two different cable.
I tried one of these combination to charge another Elephone P9000 of a colleague and it charged 10% in less than 20 minutes.
I knew that without the official charger, the charge would take a bit more time, but not 14 hours...
Any advice? Should I try to return it? Can I do anything without spending more money in chargers?
Thanks for your help

What Firmware is in p9000
Gesendet von meinem P9000 mit Tapatalk

Hi,
thanks for the reply.
I asked my sister (the phone owner) to send me a screenshot of the firmware number, she sent me the attached image.
Any suspicion? She said that an update notification appears and that she accepted, so, I think she has the latest firmware. Please let me know if there's anything I can do.
Best Regards,

I habe Android 7 with flashtool in phone all is OK
You must testet maybe Android 7 flash with flashtool.

Hi skysauger,
did you had this problem with the previous version of the firmware?
If I flash a new unofficial firmware, it may void the warranty.
Any other alternatives?
Thanks again for your help

With android 7 I have not the problem, with the 6version has mrin p9000 also slowly gelaen, however not so slowly.
The warranty should not go out, as the update is directly from Elephone comes and you can only install it with flashtool.
It is worth a try.
If that does not work, you have to reclaim it.
Gesendet von meinem P9000 mit Tapatalk

Hi skysauger,
you got me curious, how much time it would take to fully charge your phone with version 6?
Thanks again for replying,
L. Pinho

Hi,
my sister just send me an IM, the phone is not charging at all.
Thanks for the replies, I will try to activate the warranty

Magnetic charger

Good day.
Recently i migrated from an Samsung Galaxy S8 to an Xperia XZ1 compact. One of the few things that i missed from that stupid phone is the wireless charging.
With XZ1C now i am concerned with the constant wear of the usb port when charging and connecting to the PC.
So i am thinking in buying and Magnetic Type-C Adapter. (see atachment)
I already bought a cheap one for another phone but, when connecting to the pc, had too many disconections.
Has anyone tryed and could make me a sujestion for a good one?
Thank you.

very cool. i didn't know that existed. i'd be interested in those as well

I had one of those.
They stick out too much from the phone, so I got rid of it shortly after.

Do such adapters support quick charging?

That is a good question. .
In my Galaxy S8 i bought one from other seller, just out of curiosity, and it supported.
In the meantime, I bought 2 different adapters in ebay to try. When it arrives (in about 20 days) i'll post here my results.

Yes, as long as they support data.

Be really careful with magnetic charger. I am in China and bought one from Taobao. Connected it to my PC USB port, connected to phone and it turned off instantly, only Volume down+Power buttons combination make it start again. Hope this fckng thing didn't break anything in my phone. All tests (including battery) in *#*#Service#*#* come up alright.

It seems that it is OK to use magnetic cable, as long as you are not connecting your phone to front USB panel or USB hub. Just use Mother board USB and it considerably safe.

I've been using the NETDOT GEN 10 magnetic charging cables for the last half of a year. So far I have had no problems with it, and it is also reversible which is a plus.
I am using them on my headphones and watch too.
One thing to be aware of us that is that the plug that goes into the phone is not flush with the body and stands out about 1-2mm and leaves a bit of a gap.

I'm not an electronics expert, but "it smelt burnt" is usually not a good sign. I think the hardware was damaged and I would not recommend to use the device anymore as a possible short circuit can cause a fire.
You can send it in to Samsung for warranty repair. If you don't have it longer than 6 months, it should be easy. Where did you get it from?

Yes i've tried but nothing. It doesn't work. Also with debug usb not work.

Hello can you help me please? For me it's a big problem

@prodaz
With your information's nobody can help you right.
Maybe you are still on Nougat bootloader but on oreo Rom. Maybe vice versa already on oreo bootloader but on nougat Rom.
You use the original charger and USB cable? Have you tried a different charger and/or cable?
Maybe best way is, flash latest stock rom and test it again. If then all is ok, it was a software issue. If it isn't, maybe your USB port is damaged or Dirty
Gesendet von meinem SM-N950F mit Tapatalk

I've tried all these solution, an other usb cable, flash the latest stock rom, clean the usb port, try with an other cable. My usb port is not damage because it charge with the usb adapter but is slow.
When i put the usb on my pc a message prompt that it doesn't recognise the device. reinstall driver does nothing.
Thank you Logel for your help.

@prodaz i had same problem and it was related to hardware. i advice you to go to service center.

Ok thank you i will send the phone to service center.
