Android official dock and cable question - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!
Will

car holder possible issue.

jsut been playing with my play, and suddenly rememberd, the battery charging socket is on the side of the phone, not top or bottom, like the other phones, i have used so far, which i understand, because of its gaming feature, however, i think this will cause issues, with many car holders, whats your experience on this, cause all only have my car monday, and i cant help, but worry, about the possibility, of having to change this. Anyone seen a decently priced car holder?, in case, i might have to change mine.
You could use the official SE DK300 docking station, some ductape and a 12V car supply to usb adapter
DroidX's charge port is on the left side. I find that to be a great place considering the car dock is specific to the X. Maybe wait for a device specific dock?

Sonys DK25 charging dock for the Xperia V is available in January.

Just hada chat with support at Sony, they said the charging dock would be available early January. Looking forward to not fiddle with the port covers.

I ordered from Sony mobile site.
I just recieved it, 10 mins ago, and the disapointment is HUGE.
This is NOT a wireless charger. In fact the charging goes via the two metal surfaces on the side. I've been wondering what they are for, but I guess this is the answer. It's nice to be able to charge without opening the flap, but still, this isn't the solution I was picturing when I read "wireless charging".
To sum it up: I payed ~50 dollars (360 swedish kronor) for a plastic piece with two pins that charges my phone through the side instead of USB. I've could've made a charger that works just as good myself, damn it!

Well, ofcourse..... Did you expect anything else? Xperia v dosent support qi charging. How else would you transfer electricity to the phone if not for the two metal contact points?! Neither Sony or anyone else have stated qi standard om the v.

Do you know the polarity of the charging pins ? Is it ac powered or you just simply connect your USB charger ?
They Cost 88 Singapore Dollars here in Singapore .

Xperia V DIY charging dock
does anybody has plans on making a DIY charging dock? since i bought a nillkin case for mine, my phone will not fit in the regular charging dock. i'm thinking of something that uses elastic bands to hold it while charging. needs to be pretty compact so you can still take it anywhere.
I bought a dock.
Have been using it for a couple of weeks now.
It seem to only charge if the dock is connected to the wall socket. I connected it to a PC for recharge when I first got it. It didn't start to charge. I thought I bought a lemon.
Where did you buy it?

Hi I wanna build my own cradle. Can you please measure the voltage of the pins. Are they 5V? Do you connect it with a simple USB Charger? Or is there a power supply?
I made my own one base on the Acro-S dock and Lego

Sony hasn't released any dock yet.
They keep talking about the DK26 dock, but no one has been able to buy it yet (Seems like we will be able to buy it from Monday)
Haven't seen any car dock so far, though I do recall someone wanting to modify the original dock to a car dock

Car dock with audio

Hello there.
I'm getting a n7105 and I'm searching for a car dock able to take out audio for USB port and send it to a jack in order to connect it to the car hifi.
Does this exist for Note 2?
Thanks and best regards
The iBolt xprodock finally comes with the cable you're talking about.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Thank you so much for information.
Do you know if our can route calls through jack, too?
I'm not sure, I don't have the dock myself.
You can ask in the thread about the dock though, a few people have received their cables and should be able to answer your questions.
I have the dock with cable the audio works

You can use the iBOLT cable which will do audio out with every 4.1.x or 4.2.x ROM/kernel available or you can get a cheap "Chinese" eBay cable which will work on 4.1.x with Perseus, Trinity, or Devil kernels. Maybe more support old school car mode, but these 3 do for sure and stock does not.

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/

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!!!
