Good day.
Recently i migrated from an Samsung Galaxy S8 to an Xperia XZ1 compact. One of the few things that i missed from that stupid phone is the wireless charging.
With XZ1C now i am concerned with the constant wear of the usb port when charging and connecting to the PC.
So i am thinking in buying and Magnetic Type-C Adapter. (see atachment)
I already bought a cheap one for another phone but, when connecting to the pc, had too many disconections.
Has anyone tryed and could make me a sujestion for a good one?
Thank you.
very cool. i didn't know that existed. i'd be interested in those as well
I had one of those.
They stick out too much from the phone, so I got rid of it shortly after.
Do such adapters support quick charging?

That is a good question. .
In my Galaxy S8 i bought one from other seller, just out of curiosity, and it supported.
In the meantime, I bought 2 different adapters in ebay to try. When it arrives (in about 20 days) i'll post here my results.

Yes, as long as they support data.
Be really careful with magnetic charger. I am in China and bought one from Taobao. Connected it to my PC USB port, connected to phone and it turned off instantly, only Volume down+Power buttons combination make it start again. Hope this fckng thing didn't break anything in my phone. All tests (including battery) in *#*#Service#*#* come up alright.
It seems that it is OK to use magnetic cable, as long as you are not connecting your phone to front USB panel or USB hub. Just use Mother board USB and it considerably safe.
I've been using the NETDOT GEN 10 magnetic charging cables for the last half of a year. So far I have had no problems with it, and it is also reversible which is a plus.
I am using them on my headphones and watch too.
One thing to be aware of us that is that the plug that goes into the phone is not flush with the body and stands out about 1-2mm and leaves a bit of a gap.

I want to buy a magnetic charger as it is a little hassle to always open the latch for the micro-usb port. Does anyone know if the micro-usb->magnetic adapters are as fast as normal charging? I'm thinking about something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Magnetic-Ch..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item58ae394974

It's just the same to me. I use such adapters and cables all the time on my z1 phone and z2 tablet as well as official dk31and dk39. I see no difference.

Is it possible to use a Z1 magnetical charger on the Z2 Tablet? Is it the same connector?

I got it yesterday and it seems to charge as fast as when connecting via USB normally. However the magnet is pretty weak so whenever moving the tablet it wants to come off by the weight of the usb-cable. It is best used laying on a flat surface.
actually I would prever a tiny magnetic adapter for QI so I can attack the magnetic and rely it on the pad and charge.
Nexus 7 and Samsung already Qi, I would charge all my devices Qi this way!

Correction, it WILL come off. The magnets are very week, as soon as I touch my tablet it flies off.
I've been thinking of getting this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEN5S6A/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29PL3HL4QEHGY
or one that will stay on while I use the tablet, anyway.

After pulling out Asus charger unit from the tablet,screen came on for few seconds,then disappeared,now hear it trying to boot then switches off.
Looking at the back of tablet,some of the teeth of are bent,missing from charging unit on tablet
Is it possible to replace this charging unit in UK?
Has this damaged something else on motherboard?
Tablet 4+ years old
If it could be repaired would cost be more than new tablet?

A tf701 4+ years old?
On tf701 the charger unit, more precise the cable is poor quality. Mine was defect 2 times and i buyed 2 times a new one.
I think charging unit is changeable but dont know about how much it cost. Maybe you can do it youself

hi all,
just bought a 2nd hand TF701T but the dock won't charge at all. When charger is connected only to the dock, the light keeps flashing red even after being on the charger all night. When I connect the tablet to the dock, dock remains at 0% charge no matter what.
I also have a sneaky suspicion the dock drains the tablet because I left the tablet in the dock at about 85% charged, next morning it was empty.
dock has latest firmware (i think) and i've reverted the tablet back to stock to see if i could check for an update.
any ideas or do have send the dock to asus?

Asus stated that my warranty is void because the tablet is unlocked, so they want to charge 75 euro handling costs for even looking at it and if they repair, charge for that on top of it.
This is kind of a bummer, because a new dock is 130 dollar and if the dock has similar issues: tablet is still unlocked so no warranty?
Good one Asus! Will probably ditch the TF701 and go for something else. pfff should have known better after the TF700...
Ok but the dock isnt unlocked, so in my opinion warranty is void on tablet not on dock

The funny part: my warranty is void on both the tablet and dock because i've unlocked the tablet.
So I've asked Asus if I would get warranty if I buy a new dock and they responded:
"If you buy a new dock online, the warranty is not related to unlocking the tablet"
Write them, unlocking voids only tablet warranty. Also on Facebook, G+ and Twitter. Thats a shame

yup, put the TF701T for sale without the dock and ordered an HP SlateBook.
One less customer for Asus to worry about...
Not sure of laws in your country, but I would give them one more warning and then hand it over to an ombudsman or similar authority if you have one.
Hi all,
I just got my P9000, it came with no charger, just the cable.
I already tried 5 different chargers and with all of them I get the same result, device takes more than 14 hours to charge (from 10%).
Already tried it with:
- An ASUS USB charger (used for ASUS tablet)
- Quick Charge Qualcomm Certification 2.0
- 2.4 A charger
- No-brand 1.5 A charger
- A ZTE phablet charger
I tried all these chargers with two different cable.
I tried one of these combination to charge another Elephone P9000 of a colleague and it charged 10% in less than 20 minutes.
I knew that without the official charger, the charge would take a bit more time, but not 14 hours...
Any advice? Should I try to return it? Can I do anything without spending more money in chargers?
Thanks for your help
What Firmware is in p9000
Gesendet von meinem P9000 mit Tapatalk
Hi,
thanks for the reply.
I asked my sister (the phone owner) to send me a screenshot of the firmware number, she sent me the attached image.
Any suspicion? She said that an update notification appears and that she accepted, so, I think she has the latest firmware. Please let me know if there's anything I can do.
Best Regards,

I habe Android 7 with flashtool in phone all is OK
You must testet maybe Android 7 flash with flashtool.
Gesendet von meinem P9000 mit Tapatalk
Hi skysauger,
did you had this problem with the previous version of the firmware?
If I flash a new unofficial firmware, it may void the warranty.
Any other alternatives?
Thanks again for your help
With android 7 I have not the problem, with the 6version has mrin p9000 also slowly gelaen, however not so slowly.
The warranty should not go out, as the update is directly from Elephone comes and you can only install it with flashtool.
It is worth a try.
If that does not work, you have to reclaim it.
Gesendet von meinem P9000 mit Tapatalk
Hi skysauger,
you got me curious, how much time it would take to fully charge your phone with version 6?
Thanks again for replying,
L. Pinho
Hi,
my sister just send me an IM, the phone is not charging at all.
Thanks for the replies, I will try to activate the warranty
Hello, I have connected my smartphone to the original Samsung charger. Suddenly there have been noises in the USB connection. It has smelt burnt. Now quickcharge and OTG does not function any more.
Data transmission and slow charging works.
I have changed the ROM many times. But it does not helped. Sorry for my broke english. I'm German.

I'm not an electronics expert, but "it smelt burnt" is usually not a good sign. I think the hardware was damaged and I would not recommend to use the device anymore as a possible short circuit can cause a fire.
You can send it in to Samsung for warranty repair. If you don't have it longer than 6 months, it should be easy. Where did you get it from?

I have not rooted my phone and i always use Samsung orignal cable and otg connector. it seems it all started after update. do you have FD model ?
I have the same problem i can only charge my N950F with wireless charge and the micro usb adapter. I can't connect with my PC it doesn't recognise my phone.The charge is slow with micro usb adapter more than 5 hours to charge at 100%. I've tried to install many rom but the problem is always here. What can i do please?
Try to uninstall the Samsung USB driver and reinstall them again

Yes i've tried but nothing. It doesn't work. Also with debug usb not work.
Hello can you help me please? For me it's a big problem
@prodaz
With your information's nobody can help you right.
Maybe you are still on Nougat bootloader but on oreo Rom. Maybe vice versa already on oreo bootloader but on nougat Rom.
You use the original charger and USB cable? Have you tried a different charger and/or cable?
Maybe best way is, flash latest stock rom and test it again. If then all is ok, it was a software issue. If it isn't, maybe your USB port is damaged or Dirty
Gesendet von meinem SM-N950F mit Tapatalk
I've tried all these solution, an other usb cable, flash the latest stock rom, clean the usb port, try with an other cable. My usb port is not damage because it charge with the usb adapter but is slow.
When i put the usb on my pc a message prompt that it doesn't recognise the device. reinstall driver does nothing.
Thank you Logel for your help.
@prodaz i had same problem and it was related to hardware. i advice you to go to service center.
Ok thank you i will send the phone to service center.
