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

Would have been even better with wireless charging

This phone would have been more perfect with wireless charging built in, anyone agree?

It doesn't have wireless charging but the dock that comes free with the phone in some areas doesn't need to plug into the phone and must do it wirelessly or via pins just beneath the backing I suppose

There are 2 contacts on the left hand side of the phone which get used with the dock. They are power only - not USB or HDMI. There is *no* wireless charging in this phone.

Nokias wireless charger works with all phones that have NFC, looks like i will be buying that then!

From what I've seen wireless charging is presently a bit dodgy anyway, perhaps Sony are just waiting for the tech to settle down a bit before introducing it. I don't think I'll be going for wireless charging with my N4 any time soon.

I don't think so. It has NFC so that you can launch a task when you put your phone to charge, but it's still based on the Qi wireless charging spec which means the phone has to be compatible too.

just looked in to it, sorry your right, i had read somewere without looking it up. My bad!

@OP: Why would you want wireless charging in the first place? It's just a gimmick it might be nice to have but, when you don't have it you won't miss it either way.
Same with 3d also a gimmick, we can live perfectly without 3d movies etc. Even though 3d movies can be quite nice to see.

wireless charging is not comfortable for daily uses

I had a Droid DNA and hated the wireless charging. For one you have to pay upwards of $25-$50 for a wireless charging pad, charging takes several times longer, the phone/battery get hot while using it, which will probably lead to shortened battery life, and it's not like you can use your phone while wireless charging since if it moves more than a few millimeters off the pad it stops, versus wired where you are limited only to the length of the wire.

Isnt wireless charging jsut putting the phone on a "dock"? Like my cordless phone? or the old nokia's where u had to put it on a charging dock? Ppl behave as those it is sending microwaves to your phone within a certain radius and the phone magically charges...and if it were like that I would be afraid of nuking my insides lol

Exactly my thought. It's wireless, but you have to put your phone on a mat... i really prefer putting my phone on a dock, and the one for Xperia Z is very good because there is no "port" that might go loose with time, just two metal pins that are touching the charger pins.

For those in doubt - here is the dock Sony will release to go with this phone - Not quite wireless charging but nearly. Having seen this it has convinced me to get the phone - the thought of fiddling with the port covers in the dark every night to conect the charger was putting me off (my gf goes to bed before me so I can't put the light on).

Avante Qi Charging?

Has anyone tried the Avante Qi Wireless Charging system for their Note II? I've seen things like this on eBay and now on Amazon ... there are no reviews. Not sure I want to pioneer this on my device but the convenience of wireless charging is quite tempting.

It's going to take ages to load your phone with 500-700maH. My 2 cents on this product.
And this is what amazon says:
5. Samsung Galaxy Note II (Purchase of a Qi wireless receiver is required)

The kernel limits wireless to 500maH on the Note 2.
That said, I use mine when I am at my desk and when at night when I sleep. It's easy for me to just drop it on the pad and not wake up my wife fumbling for a USB cable and it also reduces wear and tear on the USB port.
I've found it to be quite convenient, but will plug it in to an outlet if I need the quicker charging. It's nice to have a choice of either one.

MI A2 Charge with Magnetic cable

Hallo to everybody
i bought one magnetic cable (Type USB C)
but i'm surprised to discover that it doesn't charge the phone
when i connect it, the phone swtich on (if it was in standby) but the arrow on the battery doesn't appear, and the battery isn't charged
i tryed the same cable with other device, and it does work
any suggestion ?
p.s.
the cable i bought was this (cable on amazon)

did you tried to turn it 180 degree?
I was thinking of buying magnetic of ebay but I'm afraid to use that. not so much about the not charging but to damage my brand new A2 if the cable quality is c*ap which in 99% for these cheap ones off china is IMO.

I'm using a Netdot magnetic cable with my Aukey QC3.0 charger, both bought from Amazon. Although it's not quite as fast as the regular Xiaomi cable, it's still way faster than the standard in box charger and also(which is rare for magnetic cables)it works for data too.

yes i tryed to rotate (180°) both the usb-c piece plugged-in into the phone and the piece attached to the cable
the only thing that happens is that the led is switched on (white, fixed).
but the battery is not cherged

Just received the cable and it works flawlessly for charging and data. The blue led on the cable is super annoying but the magnet is reversible so I can just turn it the other way around.

Usb C Note 9 loose and wiggly any fix?

My two weeks Note 9 have this issue... I try with a different usb cables and cleaning the USB port of my device, this is the original cable that comes in the box, but is the same... To be clear, the USB works well, any problem with transfer files or charge the battery, the only problem is that is loose and I don't know if this is normal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ow0p7ZfNRs

I had this with my pixel. Take a really thin pin and clean around the port. You will be surprised at the compacted lint that comes out. My cable fit super tight after that.

The cable fits tight because the cable don't fall off, I could even hang up my phone without it falling off. The only thing is this wiggle that shows in the video that I made...

Normal. We have two note 9 devices and both are the same. Also I hope you don't have a USB wiggle fettish. [emoji1787]

Do they allow fast charging? I've been looking at the magnetic charging cables for a while now, but they always get mixed reviews, especially when it come to fast charging.
If these fast charge and are reliable for data transfer, then I'll pick up a three pack. Probably still wouldn't trust them for flashing firmware through ODIN.

Fast Charging - Yes!
Data Transfers - Yes!
As for Flashing a ROM, I would Always choose a Direct connection rather than Magnetic. I wouldn't want ANY chance of a Cable Interruption Ever if the Cable was to get bumped.

It's totally normal to have some little movement.

So... After all, it's normal? I really don't remember if my USB port make this the first times when I connect the usb cable... I will believe in yours guy's! XD

Well I went to a Samsung store and they told me that this was not a problem, because it works well and the cable does not fall, it only loose a bit but it has good grip, so neither how to claim a guarantee if there is no problem... :/

It only wiggles for me with Samsung cables - my HTC USB type C cable fits pretty firmly.

Ordered. Received. And returned. One of the cables fast charged and has a good strong magnet. The other two had a weak magnet and wouldn't fast charge. Wouldn't charge my Note 9 at all actually. Plus leaving the tip in the phone is impractical. It sticks out way too far. Looks kinda ridiculous.

1. You Have to Choose the 7th Generation Cables in order to Fast Charge.
2. Fast Charge will depend also on the Wall Charger. If it's a QC3 type of Wall Charger, then you should get Fast Charging without any Problems at all.
3. As for the Magnet being weak, maybe you just got a bad one.
4. As for the Magnet sticking out of the Phone, I and Most All people that I talk with and have gotten the Cables use a Rugged case like I do, so it don't stick out visibly.
Here's the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro Case that I use.
