Still awaiting my device in india!
Will get it on15th!!

SO-02D has charger, headphones, micro SD card reader with 2GB micro SD card and a 3" USB/Micro USB adapter.

I got HDMI cable and leather carry pouch.
I just wasted my screen protector which was included because I wasn't able to do it perfectly. But no when I look closely there is probably already a protector on it (???).
Anyway X S screen is supposed to be guite durable I suppose.

if you had watched my youtube unboxing video from post 1 you would had learned this. Don't worry i did the same with my Xperia arc last year. And the one allready placed on is so perfectly placed on from the factory, that it will never fall off, and even after 1 year it was still perfect on the Arc. I doubt i ever gonna use the spare one for anything.

Here from T-Mobile Holland:
I got:
White Device
Charger/USB Cable
Headphones
2x NFC SmartTags
Voucher for free Sony Wireless Headset Pro

screen protector is either installed on the phone already or it comes separably in the box. Look closely to corner of the screen.

What I'm saying is some boxes have only ONE, applied on the screen already.
Like my Arc.
But with Xperia S I got ONE on the screen and SECOND in the box.

Got mine from Negri. Pretty disappointed now. No HDMI cable in the box either.
They are apologizing but thats it.
I was a willing to pay a little more to get it asap. But I almost didn't order it cause there were no smart tags in it, now that there isn't a hdmi I think I am just going to return it, buy from somewhere else.

In Poland no smart tags either.

Hope there's a screen protector already on it when I get it. The one from factory on my X10 did not come off even after pulling off a protector applied on top.
In the UK according to Three, you get an HDMI cable with it but no mention of Smart Tags.

Accessories for Xperia S

This is another placeholder
im getting the sony smart watch with my preorder for sony xperia s, maybe smart tags in box too if im lucky.
Will be looking for a good case for this. I like leather pouches with pull tabs. Ordered this for my galaxy - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0071QPIV2/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details but it will be going back along with the phone. It seems the dimensions are a little short for the Xperia S

Anyone else depressed by the fact it has the flappy usb covers and that hdmi is on other side? Trying to think of some way to make a powered dock because i doubt one will be released. a real shame, even the cheaper p and the ion have docks.

This case arrived today, it's really nice. Does anyone think I'd get away with using this on an Xperia S?
Xperia S dimensions - 128 x 64 x 10.6mm
Galaxy Nexus - 135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94mm
Galaxy Nexus is a bit taller/wider, Xperia S is fatter. It means in terms of height the Xperia S will fit in the case, but it may be a bit "loose" on the width. With it being fatter though it may sit more snugly in the case regardless of the smaller width.
I have till the 30th of March to return it to Amazon, I guess I can hold onto it until my Xperia S arrives on the 12th - Although I won't be able to open it anyway (if I want to be able to return).
Looks like there's going to be an official sony hard case:

Haicom is a very good brand, I've had their vent holders for my Xperia Neo and Xperia Arc, and they're simply wonderful. They don't damage your phones, they're very sturdy, it's great! And they are very cheap! Worth a go!
I was slightly wrong and didn't notice the ones I linked were universal ones. It'll take a week or two-three and then we'll see custom-made Haicom ones appearing.

Hey rajmistry,
There are a lot of windshield holders out there that will work given the Xperia S has 4.3" display. I have a LUXA2 H5 windshield holder for the Xperia Arc that I am using today. It's a little costly compared to other generic solutions out there, but the aluminum that they use is really nice.

Best way to get dk30 dock and sbh52

As a previous xperia Z owner, I could not live without the dk26 dock, unflapping the phone every time didn't feel right.
That being said, the dock for the zu is called dk30. I cannot find a way to get one of these in north america at the moment. Lets put our heads together and post whatever we can about this dock and the elusive sbh-52 bluetooth receiver.
I really want that sbh-52 bluetooth receiver as a business person I am going to keep my large phone in my bag most of the time. So I would like to carry that small receiver in my pockets to answer calls with. Let's face it, my head is average sized and putting that phone up to my head does look quite silly!
So do i. Why the Sony won't launch both accessories together with z ultra? Now when I answer the phone so attractive to other people look at me like the Mr bean.

Only three left. (Amazon)
Edit: The only ones i've found that's available for purchase is at Amazon. Sony says "Coming soon", and it's the same with Clove and other sites. I have no idea where the ones at Amazon comes from.
Maybe is the same seller but you can get on Ebay also
i can't wait til the Bluetooth handset is release, looks like that going to be a must have accessory.
I saw in another youtube video that someone had a magnetic power connector. Does anyone know what that one is called and where to buy it?
It would be just as easy to pop that on then to put in dock. Dock will be great for my office and magnet for my nightstand.

The dock comes with a magnetic charging cable. It's called EC21 and you can see it in the box contents section for the dock:

It's DX (formerly known as Deal Extreme), and it's 100% "fake". Still, i have ordered from them a couple of times in the past, and i haven't had any trouble with "their" products. They are shipping out from Hong Kong for free, so expect it to be slow (It takes 10-14 days for me in Europe), but my bet would be 5-7 days for the US (I assume they're going in the other direction )

So the dock itself is just effectively a stand and you have to connect the EC21 into the dock to actually charge the device?
Or do you get a complete charging dock and a separate magnetic charging cable, so that you could leave one at work and the other at home?
I suspect its the first option but just checking

Please review my list of accesories for my new Xperia Ultra Z.

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!
dealxtreme
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.

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?

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.

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 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.

Sony Charging Dock

Looks like Sony once again bring out a charging dock tailored for the new flag ship named DK36
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/magnetic-charging-dock-dk36/
I wonder if we removed the cable from the DK31 dock it will fit the magnetic ports on the Z2?
This is the first design flaw I've spotted with the Z2. The dock actually blocks a little part of the screen. The dock makes it a very good mini television and this kind of ruins it. Hope this isn't the case and this isn't the final product.
I emailed Sony about the dock, they say that the z1 dock will not work on the z2. I assume they mean that the pins won't align

I see Clove Technology already have this in stock.

It seems the thickness of two phone is different that why the z1 dock will not work on the z2.
I found some magnetic chargers sold on line are compatible with Z1, Z1C and Z2.

I don't see that problem at all. Right now, My Z2 is sitting in the charging dock and the lip is a fraction below the margin of the bezel leaving the entire screen visable.

Ok, thank you for clearing that up.
Generic Dock from Amazon
I bought this generic one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JE81AJE
Works perfectly and even has a different width receiver for when you fit a case on to the Z2 and it's half the price. Recommended :good:
I've sent mine back to Amazon, the dock charger only works when plugged into the wall socket, it doesn't charge the phone (or provide any connection whatsoever) when plugged into a USB port. Maybe it's obvious for everyone else, but it wasn't for me.
Also, this 30 euro accessory is just a small piece of plastic, you don't even get a USB cable in the package. Sony is charging way too much for this.
I'm now hoping for a third-party dock that will be able to connect and charge via USB.
I can't use either of my cases with the dock. So had to order the official Sony case (through I hate cases like that). Gutted that I can't use a thin gel case on it, in the dock!

anyone know if the dock for z2 work for z2 tablet or vice versa? The few posts above seem a little confusing to understand

Does the SCR10 case fit the dock? I know it should because they are both officially from Sony, but it seems a bit weird to fit it.
I have the SCR10 and wondering to buy the DK36, but I don't want it if I have to take of the cover.

Yup. It does fit without problems.
Are there any 3rd party cases that fit? I really hate cases like the official Sony one, but have ordered it purely to protect the device, even though I hate the style. Every gel case I have purchased from eBay or Amazon does not fit...

This is exactly the same with the dock from the Xperia Z - completely overpriced and they don't advertise that it must use a high-current charger, 500mA from a USB port won't work.
At least they should include a power adapter + cable. The dock has to contain about $1 worth of materials, if even that.

I charged my Z from a USB on the PC in the dock all the time. Just my experience.
Agree the dock is wildly overpriced

Thought it would be nice to post here as well. Not sure if you're aware of this: Anyone thinking about cases and the dock, it has a removable part that, when removed, lets you insert the phone with many kinds of cases.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK36-Charging-Dock-Smartphone/dp/B00HWUQEZQ/ref=pd_cp_computers_0
Here you can see the "seamline" which is the removable part. It is also stated in the description. Just to let you know in case you didn't already.
Brilliant invention!!!
When i was searching for a magnetic dock on ebay i bumped into to this magnificent adapter for our xperias!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-t..._PDA_Cables_Adapters&var=&hash=item4d1bec8893
That's one hell of a solution for charging with cases on! I'm definitely ordering one!
Anyone tried it?

I can assure you it does not go into the dock if you wanted that. And there are full length cables that do the same thing (at least I think the magnetic charging cables fit with a case), saves the hassle of an adapter. If you can justify getting it, then nice find mate.

Screen protector and in the box?

Hi guys
Just two quick questions?
Firstly did anyone get a cable that looks like a USB otg cable in your box?
And secondly has anyone applied a screen protector to their z2? I applied the one in the box and I dropped my phone. Luckily no damage except the fact I've got two bubbles now because of what looks like little specs underneath. I'll have to double check.
Anywho I've already ordered one from mediadevil (been happy with them since my S) and wanted to take my current one off. So does anyone use a screen protector?
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Yes, mine also came with an OTG cable.
I wanted a protector for the BACK of the phone, which was unfortunately not included, so I got a Spigen protector. It was very cheap and easy to install. I'm happy with it.
Get a tempered glass protector, they are amazing!
I use and recommend Nillkin 9H

Hi what actually does a tempered glass protector feel like? Never seen or heard of them before until the other night when I seen one by spigen for like 25.99 lol
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Just feels like you aren't using one at all... Because your screen is tempered glass itself. It is better protection than a standard protector bit feels like you aren't even using one
Where did you get yours from? And how much did it cost?

I haven't tried the OTG cable, sorry.
I've used the OTG cable. It works just like plugging in a USB to a computer. You can access all your files with the stock File Commander app and when you want to disconnect then you just click the notification to safely remove the USB. It's very straightforward.
I've used otg before but I know with my S I couldn't use it for external usb

eBay $11 delivered
I believe the OTG style cable is bundled to help people move from different devices.
I work for a phone provider and Sony have been banging on about "Xperia transfer" (or something named along those lines) for a while and it can apparently support ios, blackberry and Windows phones for full data transfer very quickly.
I've used USB OTG on a few devices too before, it's alright, not amazing but then again I was using quite a cheap cable. I used es file Explorer when transferring get stuff if anyone is interested.

Didn 't have the OTG cable nor the screen protector,
but was lucky enough to talk the sales into including and helping apply both front and back protectors for free
one of the perks when you buy things from countries like Taiwan lol
Lol I'm looking for a rear side protector can't seem to find one. I was fortunate enough to receive otg, noise cancelling earphones and the screen protector lol though when I received the parcel my box was slightly damaged

I don't believe any Z2s actually came with a back protector. I think people were confused because the screen protector that DOES come with it has two stickers on it that say "FRONT" and "BACK." People mistakenly took that to mean there were 2 protectors in there. I could be wrong about that, but so far I've read no confirmation that anyone actually received a back protector.
You are right however I'm sure they do have a back one. I have seen some but just weren't able to purchase it and no I can't find them
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
lol but sony is a Japanese company
It's because my device is parallel import product, which it is legal in my state. There is less accessories provided.
But actually, the official product provides worse accessories in my state.
We have to pay 40US$ for a Noise Cancelling Earphone ><
