Basically, just got the X8 today (refurbished) from The o2 Shop.
Technically imo it should be in the box, but they argued that it's a refurbished phone so what's in the box is all you get.......still disagree with that, but they are ignorant *****.
Anyway, was just wondering where the best place to get one would be?
Would I be able to pick up a Sony Ericsson USB from say The o2 Shop?
Cheers in advance.
I don't know about you, but I lost my cable and I had to buy an official one from nokia, because I didn't find one from SE.. xD
just a buy a regular (mirco I think) usb cable
Thanks lads, however fortunately I just found my old BB USB which for some odd reason works fine with my new X8.

Why is it odd? Any micro usb cable works fine, doesn't matter the brand it's universal..
Ah true......bit stupid when it comes to these things
micro usb is universal...
really guys ?
for me, i tried to use other cable for charging & it is not ok
connecting USB is ok.. but not charging
any idea?
i tried with my previous Nokia cable
Any micro usb cable is okay
The problem is the power source.
SEMC standard charger have 850ma current.
Best practice : don't any charger over 850ma current.
U can charge by pluging into usb port on a pc or laptop.it's have 500ma current.

hope that helps
I notice that the USB cable for the Spice-Mi410/Ideos X6 is not the regular mini-USB connector. I am thinking of getting a replacement data cable (to keep in my office in case I need to charge the phone). Where can I find one or what are the replacement options I have?
Thanks...
Are you sure its not generic, because I thought all android phones have same usb socket. I remember using a LG cable sometime in the past.......
Ahh its generic i always use my brother's samsung cable, they are all alike afaik.

hi
it is very much available at any local mobile shop i got one for use at office
@whyzee, @nayneshdev: I tried with a samsung Galaxy cable and I couldn't fit it in. I haven't tried with other brands (Android phones). I will do that.
@haree: Will check the local mobile shops. I usually asked them for a cable giving my model name (which they didn't recognize ).

it's not miniUSB, it's microUSB, same as new gen Blackberry phone and almost all android phone. I have 2 android phone and 1 blackberry that using same usb cable to charging or connecting to pc
PS: don't be confused with micro-HDMI type-D port that close to microUSB port in our device XD

are you sure your usb socket of your phone is not faulty? make sure your clear that up too because triumph phones have had this problem....
Any MicroUSB cable is compatible with this Phone, I'm using Nokia N8's Data Cable because mine I forgot at my Bro's house (1000Kms Away) so can't go again only for the cable and as this is already working so I didn't tell him to send through Post (Courier)

The data cable that came with the box works, I think there is no problem with the USB socket. I will try the microUSB cable as suggested by ardX

yes it is not mini-USB but a micro usb. I think mini USB is mainly used in portable hard drives.

Hello all,
so, this is driving me nuts. I have two HTC microUSB cables that I've been using with my old phone that for some reason don't seem to work at all with the new xperia T. I can only charge it and connect it using the stock sony cable or the (very long) cable that came with my Kindle. I tried with 3 different wall chargers (Sony, LG and generic wall outlet splitter with USB): all of them charge the phone using Sony and Kindle cable, none using the HTC cables. Anyone has any idea WTF is happening?
Thanks!
Based on my friend's experience, HTC tends to make cables that work only for their device. I'm not 100% sure.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.

I think there are different versions of the cable, if you take a close look at the end which goes into your phone you may be able to count a different number of connections....
Someone correct me if I am wrong
I'm charging my lt30p atm with the cable that came with my HTC desire S. Also connecting with pc is not a problem hetr

Well, both cables used to charge also my LG p500 without any issue. I'd be more inclined to say that the fault is on Sony's side as of now.

Slightly different shape of the inner part of the connector, but same exact number of connections.

I envy you very much indeed.
So, to sum it up, it can't be anything to do with the phone itself, but it seems to be some kind of incompatibility between the USB plug and socket. This is kinda crappy. Last thing I want is to buy yet another cable. Haven't they decided to use the same standard to avoid this kind of crap???
Thnaks to all of you btw!
Just use the cable that came with the phone for PC connection and the other ones for charging...
They don't work either way. It's like they don't even connect. Point is I don't understand why. It's just a cable. Anyway, thanks for all the input.

Some cables are manufactured not to work with most phones. Just like how we can't use our plug (for the wall socket) to charge an Apple device.

My previous experience doesn't seem to comply with what you just said. I've been exchanging chargers and cables between 1 LG phone, 1 HTC phone and an iPhone 4, and all the combinations work. The problem has arisen with the new Xperia T. I'll go to a Sony center and see what they have to say about it.
Cheers!
The t/x/v have faster higher rated chargers so some old ones don't work, I can't use old 2011 Line charger or moto charger but can use an earlier v8 charger...
If you look closely at the cable there are parts that click into place, if the cable your trying hasn't got these it won't work

As I said, no matter how weak the charger is, I always get power with the sony and Amazon cable, and none with htc ones. It is really annoying. The cables don't seem to have any major physical differences.

My TL was also being picky about what cables I could use and it eventually died

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.

Hey guys,
I was looking at the Samsung smart dock :
( can't insert link as I am a new Member)
And was wondering if it would work on the Xperia z1?
I know that the z1 supports MHL and OTG so I'm guessing it could work..
Also, I realise that the actual phone won't fit onto the dock properly but I really want hdmi out with at least 2 usb inputs, so I'm fine with using a micro usb male to female cable to run from the phone onto the dock.
This is my first post so let me know if I'm doing something wrong
Thanks in advance

It's a hardware issue actually, Samsung uses special usb connectors which can active both mhl and usb at the same time, not sure Sony does too...
Sent from my C5503 using Tapatalk
I use something like this and it works fine to have HDMI out, but never tried using the USB in at the same time.
You can use the usb as storage or only for charging while using hdmi?

I heard that the USB input on that could only be used for power and nothing else.. :/
I think that's correct, as the HDMI output does not work unless there is AC power going to the Micro USB in.

Theres a cheaper version of the dock on ebay for $11 which has HDMI and USB (both full size) ports. I might buy it and try that one first.
A stupid question, how can I use the MHL cable and charge the Z1 in the same time? It is possible?
