Hi All,
I got myself a Magnetic dock, charging cable and a power jacket. All of ebay and now sony articles.
Charging is a nightmare with all of them.
Either it doesn't charge at all or charging is intermitant.
Does anyone know if the magnet has any other function but keeping the charger connected, or does it trigger a switch?
Well hope to hear from you all.

I use a magnetic charging cable purchased off eBay and have had no problems at all...the best £5 I've ever spent.

The magnet on the magnetic charging cable only ensures the charging connections are connected to the phone, at least that is the one I have anyway.
II just put it in the dock connected to a charger (sony output 1500mA) and after a while there was a message on the screen that the system was not charging.
Do I need a higher output mA?
Do you know which connector is which (+/-) so I could try with wires to try to figure out what is wrong.
You are using it with a charger right and not connected to a computer or any other unit besides the charger? As the magnetic charger is only designed for use with a charger and not an ordinary usb device (As a usb on a computer). The magnet in the middle holds the cable and phone together, whilst the the two dots on the sides of the magnet works as the charging source +-.
If you got a cheap magnetic charger cable/dock handy so can you open up the cable on that one to see which one is +- as they usually are color coded under the isolation cable. Then track them back to the +- on the charger connector and then you know.
Yes i am using a charger. I will proceed with opening up the dock. Thanks for the reply

The strange thing is that the led blinks orange as if it starts and stops charging all the time
Hmm that's odd.
Are you sure that the phone sits securely in the dock or that the charger is connected correctly? You can try to clean the ports on both the phone and charger with some paper, then turn the phone all the way off and then while it is off connect it to the charger to see if it will charge normally then. If that does not help, try to contact Sony support as it most likely is something wrong with either the charger cable and/or dock or the phone itself.
even when turned off it won't charge..... Dock and cable are all chinees imitation..... might not fit... will give it a try with bare metal connections (just wires) and see what happens.
I purchased an original dk31 from sony and my phone charges perfectly

So they are not official Sony chargers? Then the problem most likely lays there as copycats some times are made with a poor cable type which does not send the correct amount off power to the unit. I would recommend you to try with an official magnetic charger from Sony, as some copycats can even hurt the unit itself. But thats what I would have done though.
The charger is original, the dock and cable are chinees.... Will proceed with testing and keeping you posted.

Can someone tell me what is the amperage of the magnetic port ? Or how long does it takes to charge 0% to 100% the device? I'm considering buying it because micro-usb take more than 2hours !

it depends on the charger itself. if its 1.5A, than it will be 1.5A.

I have N7 so I'm using that charger (it's 2.0)
And when I'm charging using magnetic cable, battery is charged in one hour (+/- few mins)
Same charger, micro USB hour and a half, sometimes even longer.
I guess it's because magnetic port is for charge only (I'm not professional so I could be wrong but facts are facts)

Hi my magnetic port just stopped working I'm using original Sony cable. Any suggestions?

But why switch it off to charge? If you don't want to be disturbed, just switch to airplane mode.
If afraid that my phone can't recharge If it power off and zero battery.

Anyone found a fix? i have the same problem. Things i tried:
Charged it all night (with an ipad charger. they're powerfull and my dad needed the original). Nothing happend
Am now charging it for an hour with the original cable and charger, no response.
hold power button for longer then 30 seconds
hold power + volume up
hold power + volume down
nothing seems to happen. When i press the power button, the led becomes red, when i let go of the power button, it immediatly turns off.
this is the same with or without the charger plugged in.
Also tried connecting it to my computer, but Sony PC Companion does not recognize the phone, even though i have the drivers installed
EDIT: fixed it. charged it with the charger supplied. waited for 2 hours, then disconnected the charger and reconnected. The red light began to burn. After about 15 minutes i was able to turn on the phone.
Mmm very strange thing...

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/

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

Hello, I have Xperia Z C6603 and I have charger EP800 5v 850mA (original one EP880 is broken).
My question is, is it harmful for battery in the phone to charge it with 850mA instead 1500mA which is in EP880 (the original one).
thanks
You should be fine. It will just take longer to charge.
Our device can be charged by connecting it to a USB port on a computer and they only supply 500mA (USB 2.0) or 900mA (USB 3.0) and that doesn't harm the battery.

This is for those who have previous generation of OnePlus phones. Dash charging seems to work flawlessly with OP2. My colleague in office took my charger to try out and we were both surprised when his OP2 didnt blew or got hot . Yet to test it out with a OP1 as i dont have any. Would be nice if someone can test and let others know.
But it doesn't charge as quick, right?
Of course it'll work, it'll work on any other phone, just behaves like a regular charger.
Tap-a-talked from my Nexus 7
ofc the charger works but probably not with the full 4 or 3.5 Amps as it does with the OnePlus 3
Dude, I've charged my, Anker power banks, my Vita, my PSP, my OnePlus One, my Bluetooth game pad, my LG G watch, and my 2DS. The DASH wall wart still behaves like any regular USB wall wart. Seems like it charges them at the standard 2.4amps

Not true!
There is a YouTube guy who tried it, you can see in his video that his OP2 charges, but not 60% in 30 minutes. But the charger is compatible, but not as fast as OP3 (which has Dash support ofc)
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If works mean charging, it surely will, just like QC charger works on non-QC devices.
But the thing is OP2 has no support on neither QC 2.0 or VOOC(from OPPO, or DASH, which Oneplus names it), while the latter brings the advantage by extra pins.
So OP2 does not support QC in whatever protocol.
Stop this thread it's nonsense and a waste of time.
