Hey all,
Not really specific to the XS, but hey.
I have several devices that charge over USB, including the XS, an X10 and an X8. I keep them on my desk and it'd be mega convenient to have one unit that can support several 1-1.5A devices, few short cables. Would be much better than running multiple cables up from multiple chargers plugged into a power bar.
Next bit is a car mount. I have a lacquered desk so car mounts work like they do on glass. Very nice solution, can see when stuff comes in(sleep disabled), type when you need to. Landscape & portrait. Anyone got a recommendation for one for the XS?
TIA,
Scratch
Also looking one of those..
Will be glad if someone know where to get..

BTW, there is one listed with a "flex" arm, IMO a solid arm is a way better option.
This is what I brought for my Sony Xperia P. I live in North America and brought my P from Clove so the EP850 it came with didn't have a North America plug anyways. It's official Sony model AC-UD20 so it matches and is a 1.5amp charger with nice folding blades and excellent build quality with two USB outs:
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...productId=8198552921666397175&tab=featuresTab
I brought the matching white L shaped Sony USB cable SPA-UL7 to go with it. 0-100% in 1 hour 10 minutes with this combo and excellent built quality on the cable:
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...productId=8198552921666439473&tab=featuresTab
I ordered it over the phone from Sonystyle.com, got them to price match the charger to J&Rs price of $19.99 and the cable to another site I saw it on for $9.99 so total came out to a very reasonable $30.
I see Sony also does make an official car mount model number SPA-CK10. This would probably be your best choice in terms of build quality and asthetics since it's Sony:

1st link: Rated at 500mah? And I'd need 4 ports(I found one solution but €65 is too much)
Car mount is nice but too low/stubby. Ordered the chinese one on ebay so I'll post back how I get on in a week or two when it arrives.

So I'm kicking around the idea of getting a SE live view (mini external screen/controller) to use in my car with the torque app and obd2 connector. Is the 3VO capable of maintaining multiple Bluetooth connections simultaneously?
I would guess it should. Any newer device should. I just ordered one of those mini viewers. We'll see how it goes. I managed to get mine for $12 shipped. Figured it was worth giving it a shot for that price. Now to wait for delivery.
Sent from my Toshiba Thrive tablet
I owned one of those but sold it after a few days.Does not keep the connection with the phone.
Cool, thanks guys. I've read quite a few mixed reviews, but it's cheap enough I'm not worried about it ending up in the closet of junk geek toys.
where can I find?
Put a link to me
Just Google or amazon Sony Ericsson Live View. They're only like $35.
What is the battery life like on this?
Also when you activate apps via the watch does it wake the phone or leave it locked with screen off?
Saw this on Slickdeals and thought I would pass it along.

Hi, has anyone tried using Lenovo Thinkpad Pen on Jetstream? does it work?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.3.p0nEiA&id=12226645802
I tried Note2 pen on Jetstream, doesn't seem to work. Or did I do it the wrong way?
Thanks.
samsung is using wacom technology. HTC, fujitsu,lenovo - they use Ntrig technology.
so yes, the lenovo pen should work. the note2 won't.
the Ntrig pens all look pretty much the same, there's a different in the buttons maybe. but the general look is the same.
China shopping to your heart's content.
Shenzhen, China now selling @ US$7.5 each, just bought 4, tested all working fine.

Hi All!
Somebody can suggest me an other link for a HTC stylus? I have a one of it, but thats miss the cup... The before owner missed it. So, please help me!

I have a Galaxy tab2 and its a total Turd. Just picked up a Z3v phone and Im beyond happy with it. Are the tablets worth getting ?? I dont really care about development any more, just want a solid performer
I had a galaxy tab 2. This is in a different league. I've had it a year now and no issues. Never had any issues without enough memory or that it's struggled with. Really really fast. Light too and awesome battery life. Very high quality. Check how little the price has dropped since launch compared to samsung tab pro. Shows how good it is!

What model# are you talking about, there seems to be a few versions out there, Also does it take the standard Micro USB for charger
I'd buy another Sony in a heartbeat. I have the following tablets.....Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, LG Pad 8.3, and the Sony Xperia 2. The LG is great when I'm out all day and just want something small...the Note Pro 12.2 is my work horse, and the Sony is the device I go to when the Note is too big and the LG is too small. The Note 10.1 has been officially retired as of this afternoon when I gave it to my mom. All in all, I Sony is not as heavy handed with their UI, and I love the form factor (thinness) of the device.
Again the question is what model to get as there seems to be some variations. What about the changer is it microUsb
I haven't had mine that long but I would buy another one. Hoping to get Z4 when they are released. Also have a Note 10.1 2014, which will be for sale shortly, & a Note 8 which is normally what I take if I leave the house.
I was keen on the Z4 because of the specs and super lightweight!
Then I couldn't wait and bought a Z2 with LTE, including voice phone. (I rarely call d use a headset).
My wife has the original Z and loves it. Never an issue.
The Z2 has the headset port open = no fidgeting with the plastic cap. And the Z2 has a magnetic charging dock, which can be bought for a couple of bucks.
If LTE is important to you, Sony is the choice since they typically have the highest number of bands (frequencies).

If you mean tab 2 model. I had this one It used a stupid Samsung iphone-copy cable for charging. If you mean Z2 tablet, they all have the same processor and RAM. I bought the 32GB wifi version. For £410 a year ago and it's only dropped £10 in a year (if you buy from Amazon). There are three main models. SGP511 (16GB wifi), SGP512 (32GB wifi) and SGP521 (16GB wifi & 4g/LTE). There are some with different model numbers but similar specs if you are buying from foreign countries. Depends where you are from.
The Sony can be charged from micro-usb, but you have to lift up a slot to get to it. I use the magnetic charging contacts on the bottom as they are always exposed. Never had any issues using it with a cheap magnetic charging cable I bought on Ebay. Not the strongest magnets in the world if you want to use the tablet while it's charging, but I don't do that. I tend to charge it overnight. If I did use it when charging I'd buy a magnetic charging dock.
Yeah Im interested in the Sony NOT the Samsung. Im ready to use that Samsung as a wheel chock for my truck

I managed to sell my tab 2 10.1 on ebay for £100 with some accessories a few months ago! It was in perfect condition though and had Samsung case and a Dock and several cables though.
I also went from an Galaxy Tab 2 towards this tablet. I'm not a really big fan of Sony's UI but it's much better then Samsung's.
My next tablet would probably be another Sony (if the bezels are smaller) or a Nexus tablet.
I feel my Z3TC is coming to the end of it's useful life, the battery isn't what it was and it looks like development has stopped / slowed on the ROMs (I am rocking the AICP ROM) which is amazing and has easily given me another 2 years with it. I would say there is no chance of Pie, which while on it's own isn't enough to get rid of it but with the battery...
I am looking to replace it, I would like something with an active ROM community and just wondered what people had switched too? My current choice is the Mi Pad 4 which looks like it would be a really good fit and the community looks like it will be active.
Thoughts please people!
If you don't mind not having waterproof and NFC, I would say that's the sweet spot. SD660 is a top mid range performer although I would prefer a SD710.
Also screen quality and sound might be a step back (I'm just guessing Sony is better).
I hope Sony will develop a new version of the Z3 Tablet Compact, XZ2-3 Tablet Compact maybe? But it seems that Sony don't develop any tablet anymore? In not into the TV-sized tablets, 7-8" is good enough for me, but most tabs seems to be pretty huge IMO.
I moved on to the Huawei Mediapad M5 (in part because it's a phone and has the LTE bands I need). It is not as compact but is otherwise a suitable replacement and improvement. The dev community is larger than it might seem, as all Huawei devices share core things in common.
Lenovo's 8" tab is another option
As for the Z3TC - I recently ordered this battery. I haven't received it yet, and I think it is off-brand. I'll update once it is installed.
Hi, I've only just joined this forum as I saw this thread on Google. I have two Z3's, an SGP621 bought roughly five years ago, and an SGP611, bought just over a week ago as a refurb on eBay. Both are running Android 6.0.1. The battery on the older SGP621 is driving me nuts, as the charge gets down to between 50-60% and a minute later the tablet turns itself off, stating that the battery is flat. It's put on charge and literally minutes later, the charge is showing 70-80%.
Looking on YouTube, there are videos of people putting a new battery into an Xperia phone, but the only videos that I have seen on there for a Z3 tablet are of people literally dismantling one and putting it back together. I don't feel confident enough to start melting the glue around the front of my tablet to change the battery (i'll probably end up ruining it anyway), but not certain whether the problem IS the battery, or whether the tablet is just telling porkies and there isn't anything wrong with the battery, more the system? The rumour mill is stating that Z3's are no longer for sale new in the UK, which makes sense as I had to buy a replacement USB dust cover (a tiny piece of plastic, as you all probably know) from Germany recently and it cost including postage, nearly £20. Sony's UK website states that Z3's are no longer supported in the UK, which is as much use as toothache.
As this thread says, I still love my Z3TC but.......which is exactly how I feel at the moment. Literally, any advice that you guys could give me would be much appreciated. I have asked a local mobile/computer repair company (which is closed at the moment, due to lockdown) whether they would a) be able to fit a new battery in the tablet and b) how much it would cost, so I'm not committed to anything, just waiting for them to reply.
Thank you so much for even reading this rant,
Linda
