[Q] Wireless Charging - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Does anyone know if the Xperia Z1 supports wireless charging? If not, is there any QI Compliant receiver for this phone?
I've been searching online but couldn't find an answer to this.
Thanks.

No that Z1 doesn't support Wireless charging, and at present there is no 3rd party solutions.
It does have magnetic connections for Sony's own dock DK-31

Too bad then. This could be a deal breaker for me. Was really keen on having this phone though.

No doubt that it will come. Not from Sony but some 3rd party will come with one in October
But I don't need one, the magnetic charger is genius enough for me.

I am going to order this one from Amazon today http://goo.gl/jt9Y4C. I will tell you how it works when I get it. Should have it Tuesday because I get the free two day shipping thing with Amazon Prime.

Our phones are pretty picky when it comes to which adapter they work with. I've tested a couple actually and I can vouch for the one made by analogix. I would post a direct link to the amazon listing, but as a new user I need to rack up 10 posts...
But if you search "SlimPort HDMI Adapter - Connect MyDP enabled mobile devices to any TV" it'll come up as $29 Prime.
This adapter, while expensive, works very well and has not cut out on me during hours of straight use. It has a charging port to provide power to the phone while in use, but i should tell you that while i had this connected my phone still discharged very slowly. Maybe 1% every 5-10 minutes. But that's with wi-fi, blutooth connected to a keyboard and mouse, and an aux cable hooked up to my speakers. So... not bad.
I got this one:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/161112913690?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Works great. With Wifi & BT on, battery got discharged about 4%. Not too bad considering that even the screen remains on.
The "slow charging" message is always there.
Anyone knows how to turn the screen off while connected to a big screen?
EDIT:
Oh cool.. found an app which does that!

I've yet to see if it works on Slimport, but I don't think it'll be a problem..
Hey guys, I'm thinking about using a slimport adapter with my charging dock. Could you please tell me if they will work together?
Here are they:
Slimport adapter: http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort-HDMI-Adapter-Connect-enabled/dp/B00DWGB6CU
My dock: http://www.amazon.com/KiDiGi-DESKTOP-CHARGER-VERIZON-TMOBILE/dp/B00GINGOMG/
Thank you

I've tried this trick before on an official Samsung dock and official Samsung MHL adapter on an S4.
Didn't work.
MHL/Slimport utilizes alot more pins for it to work and I strongly doubt the charging dock will carry all the signals. Most probably it just carries the 2 power lines over.

I tested the slimport; worked with a few HDTVs but there is a 1080p Samsung TV made a few years ago that doesn't work with it. Could be HDMI port compatibility problem. I was able to get the same TV display the screen of a moto photon phone just using a microHDMI to HDMI cable.
Anyone tried miracast with 1080p video?

I'm using the Cable Matters slimport adapter. It's a little glitchy.
It needs to be disconnected and re-connected once in a while, but more importantly you cannot connect the power or it cuts out completely. The G2 battery holds out ok and charges quickly so I'm just rolling with it but you may want to try another one before going to this.
My adapter only displays the camera in portrait mode. Is that a problem for anyone else or just my adapter?
Sorry to bump this thread after a while, but I was wondering the same thing. What is the best value for money Slimport on the market?
Just bought this one from monoprice
http://www.monoprice.com/mobile/product/details/10252
Reviews say it works well with the G2
& it's $11.50 during Black Friday weekend!!!

No Z1 does not have wireless charging. It does have pogo pins on the side so you can use a magnetic charging dock or cable.
NEXT TIME PLEASE POST IN Q&A SECTION AND READ THE FORUM RULES.

Android official dock and cable question

Hey everyone
I was wondering if anyone new of a car dock that uses the magnetic charge port on the side of the z1?
And if not does anyone have any experience with the official car cradle and weather there is enough room to plug a separate magnetic change cable on while using the cradle?
Thanks a lot everyone
All the best!

I am curious too. I have to buy one and the question come in the right time.

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:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEN5S6A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29PL3HL4QEHGY
or one that will stay on while I use the tablet, anyway.
