good day I just want to seek an advice i recently charge my xperia z in a wrong polarity because i solder my broken cable in reverse polarity i didnt notice it. Now my xperia z has no power cannot connect to pc and no led light at all. thanks in advance
Do you tryed an other cable and charger to charge your phone?
It shouldn't matter too much as there will an internal circuit that prevents the phone from being damaged by such a problem.

plug it into the charger and leave it for 2-3 hours .. it should be ok .. this happened to me too .. with dock connector .. after 2-3 hours on the charger the phone was fixed..

Hi,
how long do your XZs need to charged? I got a 3m usb cable to charge my phone using the docking station and have the feeling it was taking longer than before. Currently it charged 50% in 1h 40min.
I hope it isn't bad for battery health

How are you charging the phone? Via USB 2.0 on a computer OR using the supplied Sony charger that came with the phone?
Also, what dock is it?
Sony DK26 dock, Sony charger

If you are charging it via PC via usb 2.0 (black) it will only charge at 500mA which is really slow. If you try a USB 3.0 (blue) slot it charges at 900mA which is faster. If you use the charger that came with the phone it will charge way faster since it's 1.5A (1500mA)
As I already said in my previous post, I'm using the original Sony Charger.
It charged so slow that it must have been about 700mA per hour. I think I'll search for another micro usb cable, that allows me to charge faster

Slow charging is better charging! I use a charger from an older smartphone.. 875mA..
Takes about an hour to get 20-70, another hour for the remaining 30%. But I keep it at 20-80 at most times because most guides told me so .
Over night i plug it to pc. and it actually had 0 to 78 on 5 hours so its pretty slow

Sorry misread that lol. I don't know why the USB cord sony supplied can't be longer? My SGS3 cable was way longer and i liked that. I wonder if a usb extension would be a better choice since the original cable is really good quality....

The problem is your cable,3m is very long to keep the mA power.

Interesting, I have a 1.5m USB cable (not the sony) and using the OEM sony charger it will just barely charge my Z. So maybe my issue is the cable length.. I'll try it with the sony USB cable tonight to see if this fixes my problem.
One day I was away from home and my battery was low. So I had to use a Sony Xperia charger. But now my phone has problems charge.
problems such as:
-it won't charge
-it only charges to 50%
-the charge cuts in and out
-I have to leave it still or it won't charge.
Has anyone had these problems occur. This is really annoying and I would like to find a solution ASAP
*and the only charger that doesn't cause this problem is ny nexus 7 charger. But I don't want to use it. Because when I tried it, it said it's not compatible and will damage my device.

Unfortunately it sounds like the micro USB connector port may be partially broken. Did you try a different USB cable with the stock charger?

Sorry, that was my only work around. I think you need to get the hardware repaired.

If your phone is charging half way through then It should not be the connector. Try charging through the use if laptop. Try clearing the battery stats if rooted else back up your phone and try restoring it to factory settings.

HI
greetings,
I think its a hardware problem
might be the micro usb port of the cable has to do something
try any of your friends htc cable and plug and see if the problem exist then its not the cable but the phone ....
best way is to take your phone to htc service centre
Hello guys,
I've had my sp, charger and usb cable for maybe 2 months now but yesterday my phone just stopped charging, so I picked another USB cable (which works). Is it common for Sony's USB cable to just stop working at a certain point? Happened a bit unexpected

Amperes too low to jack up the phone, but just enough to charge the speaker? Seems illogical tho, but it's just my hunch lol
Btw my cables are now functioning normally, without any bending issues, idk what happened, it just works -____-

Couple of questions.
1. Anyone notice when using a magnetic charging cable that the phone charges at literally half the speed that it does from using the regular usb cable?
2. Does the magnetic charging doc that was made for the Z1 work with the Z1s?
3. Does it charge super slow with the magnetic charging dock too?
Sent from my C6916 using xda app-developers app
1. Yes, because your magnetric cable is not original. Many of this cables make problems because they do not respect Sony Specification. Mine for example charge 10% in 1 hour. Some of them working well, but is just luck.
2. Not sure about that but I think you can. I don't think they made a different everything in Z1s.
3. No. I got Original DK31 and in less than 2 hours my phone is fully charged. But if you buy not original one you can face this problem.

15%. If you got not original, fake, stuff you get problem with charging. Try Original Sony first, then you will understand.

No I was just asking so I could just use the magnetic charger instead of the cable, the cable takes me like 3 hours to charge unless it's because I plug in the charger with the surge protector thing I have plugged in with my computer. Cause when I charge the phone with just an outlet, not attached to any surge protector or the such, it seems to charge faster but it's probably just me, but anyways if that dock does charge in under 2 hours I will get one from the Sony website lol.

I use the Stock Wall Charger 1.5mAh to 5V with the Original Dock. I spend like 26 euros for a best magnetic cable possible on eBay and it charge 10% in 1 Hour, Unbelievable. BTW, 3 hours from computer is normal because the mAh output is less than the Wall Charger. Next time I will buy original only or I will check the functionality of the cable and if it not working like it should I sand it back. Now I can't because i thought it was fine, but is not.

I wasn't clear my mistake, I meant I had the charger plugged in with the block plugged into an outlet extension( the thing where it plugs into one outlet allowing 5 more things to be plugged in through that one outlet) with my computer also plugged into the extension outlet also, but my phone takes 3 hours to charge, but when I charge it through the outlet alone not into the extension it seems to charge faster.
Thanks for the help, I will look into Sony charging dock or magnetic charging cable. Think mine does like 8-10% in an hour... But my phone charges much faster with the usb charger that came with the phone. 3 hours tops and my phone is charged. I'm trying to preserve the flap, so may have to spend more and go straight from Sony, instead of Amazon.

If you buy a DK31 go to Sony. Well spend money and no problem at all. The magnetic cable it's expensive but not original one do not working like they should.

I use the charging dock that came with the phone, the charging speed is about 1% each minute.
Definitely worth it if you wanna charge your phone fast

okay then, thanks you two for the clarification of the dock, if it didn't charge fast it wouldn't consider buying it but I might now
Hi guys,
Google's got nothing on the subject, so I'm betting on xda's infinite wisdom.
Few days ago AC charging started to . . flicker ( charging -> not charging -> charging. . etc.) No water damage, no drastic firmware changes ( updated to monxdified 6.2 after the flickering had begun - no dice ), tried various chargers and cables ( which work fine on an Xperia Z ) with the same result. Moving the cable around does not seem to affect the issue so I don't think it's a connection problem.
When I plug the same USB cables I use in a laptop's USB - all good. Charging speed, transfer speeds unaffected.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Let me know if u need more info.
Thanks in advance

I had a similar issue of switching between charging and not charging. Was regardless of moving the cable around and happened even the phone and cord were sitting untouched. Don't remember if ac vs usb made any difference, but it continually got worse until I had to take it in under warranty. They just cleaned out the usb port and all was good again.

Thanx bro. Played around a little bit with a broken toothpick and a bottle of cheap vodka and it's charging for now. Maybe he just needed a shot
