Just ordered the new inductiive charging back for the Thunderbolt with the 1750 Seidio battery. I have the HTC 2750 battery but like the slim down feel and look. Anyways my question, Will the Palm Inductive Charger that is easily had on Ebay for around ten bucks work on the Thunderbolt Inductive charging back door. The Science is the same, I think, It would be a great alternative then buying a huge charging pad for seventy bucks. Hoping someone knows the answer to this. Thanks for any help.

I don't believe so. The coils have to be the same size creating the same wave. I think it's unlikely that it would be.

I don't think it'll work, however you can wire the pad from a palm into your TB. This has been extensively documented with Evo owners. The palm system uses magnets and holds the phone on a slope, so even if you did get it to work your phone would fall off the pad without the proper metal pieces in the back of the phone.

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!

I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

I bought this windscreen mount. Works really well as was designed specifically for the Ultra
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?
I edited my first post and removed all links to DX website and replaced the posting to say people should avoid them

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.

Well one of the things I missed the most after getting the HTC One Max was wireless charging. It'd be nice to have a case that made use of the Pogo pins or something else, but this will have to do for now. If someone knows of a better solution, please comment below.
Total cost was $16 for the a TPU case and wireless charging receiver pad with MicroUSB cable.
htc have a case that has a battery in built. it uses the pogo pins. certainly you are aware of this case?
That has a built in battery, not wireless charging or am I looking at the wrong one?

The WCP 700 by LG is one of my favorites since the pad is so big. I did remove the speaker from it cause the fully charged notice is annoying.
I wouldn't get the angled Google Orb all WCP 400. It's harder to find the right spot especially with a larger device.
The Nokia DT-900 can usually be found for a good price online. It isn't bad. Just don't get the vertical stand which is the DT-910.
Oh and the LG WCP-300 is affordable too.
If you want to pick these up locally and you might find the WCP-700 and 300 at Verizon. The Nokia DT-900 is probably at AT&T.

Haven't run it down all the way much, but the charge rate is about half the USB cable. I'll post some charts I've collected in the next few days.

You know anywhere you can currently find one of these?
The link is sold out already and the other KR-Net QI receiver pads posted on amazon/ebay all have the cable coming out the opposite side of the connector (the usb cable would be coming up to the screen instead of behind the phone, once its plugged in).
I would like to combine this with my power flip case. A prong solution wouldn't be good for people already using a case that takes advantage of the prongs.
In general they are universal solutions. Here is a link to one:
http://goo.gl/pqG2du
Type B
I picked this one because the cord is shorter. As an update to the OP, the receiver finally gave out from changing cases quite a few times. The cord was so long that it had to be stuffed under the case.
Let us know how it works out when you get to try it.
Does anyone happen to know the pinout for the pogo pins on this phone? I just got one through work, and need to use usb connection frequently enough that I don't trust the connector on these. However, I have a dual layer Incipio case, and think it would be fairly easy to put the coil on the outside of the rubber portion, but under the plastic outer cover. Then use the pogo pins for the charging connection.
Just thought I would post this up for people who want an official LG circle case but don't want to spend the money LG is asking. I got this case from a China dealer on eBay. Case came in LG packaging and all. It does not have the NFC or wireless charging stickers but I just removed the one from my stock back and placed in this one. The only issue I had was in the flap of the case there is supposed to be a small magnet that makes the device sleep and wake when closed or open. There instead was a small piece of metal , no magnet. I was easily able to peel the case apart just enough to remove it and add my own small magnet . I'll add a dab of super glue later just to make sure it stays in place but you cannot tell it's ever been peeled back from just looking at it. Anyways on to the pics!
Do you have a link for the seller?
Thanks

My Case
Hey I noticed that you guys were talking about this case. Now here's the weird thing, you guys are saying that your's didn't come with the magnet, but I bought it from the exact same seller and the exact same item a while ago but mine came with a magnet. .
The whole quick circle thing works as well. But there are other problems with this case that make me really don't like it. Biggest one is that the flap just bounces up instead of actually sitting on the phone. It will not stay closed, I tried to fix it by putting my phone face down over night so that it would just stay like that but it didn't really work. Another small problem is that the circle cutout is too small and of centered. It's naturally to much to the right and since it's too small you can't see the little circle animation.
New Case
Hey I was looking around and I found this youtube video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuoy3418sWQ
It compare their product (the blue one) to another (pink one). The pink one seems to suffer from the exact same problems that the one from this ebay seller has. It led me to believe that it's most likely the same case that I purchased. It doesn't close naturally and as you can see the quick circle ring animation is only visible on the right side. Like I mentioned in my previous posts these were things that I really hated. Now this case also has wireless charging and NFC. And it looks OEM as well. I couldn't find where to buy it but I found it while looking around and noticed that this was the same website and seller that other people were trying to buy wireless charging tags from.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NeWi...timus-G3-Leather-Case-Leather/1982067236.html
I bet this is the same product in the video. I think that I'm gonna go ahead and buy this. Now the problem is that I have an At&t model so I know that it won't work with wireless charging but I don't see why NFC wouldn't. It's only like 2 bucks more than the eBay one.
In all honesty I couldn't care less about wireless charging I'm just looking for an OEM look of a quick circle case that replaces the back cover. And this fits all of the criteria and is less than 10$.

I received my case yesterday and I'm very happy with it. It looks and feels like the OEM case. It's very high quality and doesn't add too much bulk to the phone. As you've said, the "circle" animation is only seen on the right side of screen, but I can live with that. Maybe it will show the full circular animation when the case is a little more broken in? I don't use NFC or wireless charging, so I don't care much about that. There is a cutout for the antenna, but again, that doesn't bother me too much. I also have the gold version of the G3 and the case is a pretty similar color, but not spot on. Close enough for me.
For those looking for a solid case with huge savings, I bought my case from the link below.

How long will it take till someone starts selling this simple plastic piece on ebay? I have a z2 tablet with charging dock dk39 and I don't want to buy dk48. They are the same thing except that plastic part which is already made as interchangeable. So why it is not available anywhere yet? I wish I had a 3D printer...

You can purchase those fake dk-48 from ebay. It comes with the adaptor.. Whether it fits or not is another question.

Some updates from the dk-48 I bought from ebay. It comes with 34A, 34B (most width), 45A (least width) and 45B.
I use 34B with casing and 45A without casing.
Guys I figured out a way to make the DK39 work for the Z3: just take the included adapter, flip it upside down and lay it over the back and top of the slot. The connection isn't perfect but it is stable enough to get a charge for the Z3.
Just got my dk48 today. Has anyone done any charge tests to see how long it takes to charge using that than the usual plug in charger?
