What i did is, removed EC21 cable from Sony dock Dk31; the only genuine solution it is if you want original cable
Check here how i removed it - http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/10/...ging-dock-dk31-dk30-xperia-z1-xperia-z-ultra/

Otherwise i saw some sites listing 15-18$ cables not official ones i guess...

That line was quoted from the official dk31 guide from sony.
I guess usb port of pc will not give same charge as ac adapter. Ac adapter gives 1.5A so fast charge than usb port of pc.
So for fast charge use AC adapter only.
Took 2.30 hours via ec21 cable to charge my z1

30 pin galaxy tab to micro USB adapter

Hi, I I recently bought this adapter online so i don't have to carry two separate cables when I travel (one for tab, and other for phone).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...rs_Chargers&hash=item19c4c95c01#ht_1561wt_802
This product works well as it allows you to charge your tab with a micro sd cable and standard tab wall charger or any charger with usb dongle. If you have any questions let me know, I but I highly recommend this to all tab users who also have phones that charge through micro usb.

What I want to try next is to plug my s2 otg cable into the adapter and get host mode.
If anyone can link me to the kernel that works with overcome let me know.

I have (2) different micro usb host cables for galaxy s 2 and I was thinking of trying to consolidate and use them here too but I don't know how to compile a kernel with host capabilities.
If someone where to be able to make one for me that will work with overcome I can test this.

Got mine yesterday. Works Recomended!
I was gonna buy 1 but the description says "Computer + micro usb data cable can not charge. Please use the original wall adapter to charge with this cable!"
is it true that when you plug it in to a computer it will only do data but won't charge the battery?

If you want to use a computer or an usb wall charger you can buy a USB DC dongle and it will charge.
Ill link you to the one I have.

Interesting! What magic is making this happen? I thought usb was limited to 500ma draw before the computer starts complaining. Is this safe? I mean, it works, thats great but i'd love to know why/how?
No idea... but it charges for me. Slower than from the original USB wall charger but it will charge.

Nice! This is exactly what I was looking for, as I've repurposed my P1000 as a head unit and need to charge it in the car while it's in use, and didn't have any success hacking together a cable with resistors to do the trick.
what about file sync? i mean can it work like regular usb cable to connect tab2 to PC, for file managment and stuff?
it should be possible, since it's regular usb2.0 on the other side of the cable and micro-usb is just the same wiring but smaller...
so i noticed it doesn't charge from a PC's usb, and it will do if i use magical adapter mentioned in replies here, right?
The Question is = will it allow file management and charging at the same time if i use micro-usb and usb-charge adapter?
also found this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/592818965/for_Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_USB_Adapter.html
it only states that it charges over micro-usb, not sure if it can transfer data.
and this: http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/232254.htm
this states that it's for P1000 (dunno, do they have same connector?) and it doesn't clarify if it's for charging only or can transfer data

Can i charge my x8 on a cheap charger. Will it combust? Can

So I lost my official charger and bought a new cheap one.
My main question is,can i use this?
Will my phone explode or spontaneously combust. The craze is like the touchscreen goes mad,but when i turn off the display its okay.
I dont think I can get a official again. Cuz we dont have a repsenter here.
I also dont know where will i buy an usb cable..
God dammit.

output of original x8 charger is (5.5V | 850mA)
if output of xperia ray charger is same like x8 then it cant hurt your phone :good:

To be more specific if the charger output is equal OR more than 850mA, it will be good. If less, then the charger gets hot because the phone wants to get more "A" than the charger designed for. Note that it must be 5.5V.

No.
They broke my signature...
No, it wont cause any damage.Also, leaving it connected to the charger overnight will do nothing. You can't overcharge a smartphone battery, they are protected against it.

You can read this info too on the XSP's user manual pdf, sony stated about the battery there
Just make sure you use original plug
Sent from my C5302
Battery won't be damaged by much while doing this. It would just be slower charging if you're using the normal 5W wall plug, or even see the battery draining while charging through connection with computer (via USB).
im gonna say yes

MHL adapter to micro usb + magnetic cable at the same time?

Hi guys! Have anyone tried this setup? While connected to MHL adapter the charging is not enough and I want to connect mu magnetic charging cable at the same time with the mhl adapter. Is it safe?

Yes, work in this way. This was recommended to me here on XDA.
Thanks! Will try that later. I'm scared that this might overcharge our z1.
