OK does anyone know if the charging rate of the official DK30 charging dock is the same as the standard mirco usb charging rate.
I bought a magnetic cable from DX box and I've also tried a couple of mico usb magnetic adaptors and they are terrible.
The micro usb will normally charge my phone completely in 2 hours, literally I can have it connected using the cheep magnetic connector all day in work and it will only gain 30-40%
Im thinking its got to be easier just to buy the official dock, but I want to check first that the charging is as fast and normal micro usb. :good:
I have the DK30, and it charges incredible quick. From 5 - 50% goes like "that", while 50% is a little slower. But it charges the whole battery in like 2 hours.

Thats good to know... I did try removing my TPU case using the cheep connectors the charging rate jumped by about 200mA so it is no doubt partly due to a poor connection with the TPU case on.. I may have to cut out the case a bit I suppose..
Any chance you can install this current widget app as see what it brings back as the charging rate of the dock mate..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget&hl=en
It shows net charging rate I think... If you leave it running for a min or two with the screen off and then switch screen on it should show the true charging rate.
I get the following results, all using the stock sony charger.
1070mA with the micro usb.
300mA with the dx-box magnetic cable
400mA with the micro usb magnetic adaptor
I just want to make sure there isn't something kernel ralated thats slowing the magnetic charging rate. I'll just get the official Sony one then
Sure, i can do that, but i'm at work right now, so i won't be able to do it until later

i originally purchased the dk30 and removed the ec21 cable from it and it used t work pretty good. i purchased a couple knockoff ones on ebay and they work the same. given im using an ipad block, i am getting 1075mA with the knock off and 2.1A block. i plugged back in the ec21 into ipad block and i got the same numbers.
i am not sure what the stock sony charging block is rated at. for all i know it could in fact be a 2.1A block and its all in my head that the apple one charges quicker. cant tell because the lettering on the sony one is so small.
i will tell you this though, i did noticed at work my charging does take quite a bit longer, but i want to believe its because i have music streaming as well as smartwatch 2 connected. plus i get alot of texts and stuff so im always on it. hahah

I've been looking for a charger that attaches to the side dock on the Z2. I bought one on EBay very cheap but the charging from seems to connect then disconnect all the time. I guess that's what I get for buying a cheap unit. Is there a good one that will charge the Z2 properly? I'm sure the flap to the micro usb is going to come off sooner or later so I'd rather use the magnetic one.
I too am looking for this. What eBay one did you buy? Don't want to accidentally buy a cheap one..

I bought a dirt cheap one from ebay too, works fine although the magnets aren't very strong so the amount of time I spend fiddling to get it to latch on I may as well use a micro usb!

Best I've come across, a bit more expensive though.
It fits very snugly over the charging port, so if you use case this cable might not go well with it.

Word of warning with magnetic chargers, don't be stupid like me and turn the charger the other way around to see if it connects better, you will end up shorting something inside your phone and you will have to RMA your device

I have a magnetic charging cable and did this drunkly one night, woke up to find the phone turned off and SUPER HOT. Like almost burning point, freaking out I quickly removed the cable and tried turning it on but it wouldn't power up.
After 2 minutes of having a mild heart-attack I used my USB charging cable and connected it once it cooled down and within a minute it powered back up and started charging. After a few minutes of doing this I booted up the phone and the battery was on 1%
Won't be doing that again haha :silly:

Mine does that when putting it the correct way without every putting it the wrong way. It also does the start/stop charging like the OP, hopefully he doesn't have the same problem as me.

upon close inspection, the charging pins on the magnetic charging port are different in size to prevent plugging it backwards.
for those of you who were able to plug it in backwards, is the magnetic charger a sony accessory? or aftermarket?
I bought the magnector x and holy moly does it charge fast...and the connection is solid and it snaps in place with ease...magnet very strong...only problem is it doesn't work with my roxfit gel shell case even though it has the cutout for the magnetic port...so either I stick with using my cheap Chinese made magnetic charger that doesn't always make a solid connection and charges rather slow but works with my case or buy the case-mate barely there case which is the only other case I can see that would work with the magnector x...

Even though you can try to use that battery with wireless charging it won't fix your slow charging rate. Wireless charging goes max to 0.6 A (600 ma) when it comes to charging. So it's 1/3 the speed of your regular wall socket charger.

Something is wrong with your charger or cable then. My ZL charged from ~78%-100% in about an hour last night. The plug adapter that came with the phone and a USB cable I've used for a while, from a Nook I think. Wireless will be VERY slow. It's fine for topping off, but if you drain it down you will want to use a wired charger. You can use a wireless charger with the ZL, there's some info in one of the threads talking about what you need to order. You can't use the contacts on the back of the phone for it, you need to use one of the low profile USB plug type.
If you want fast charging you need to use the adapter that came with your phone, or another known good adapter, and a good quality USB cable. It doesn't have to be USB3, a USB2 cable will work fine, but it needs to be good quality. Monoprice is a good place for inexpensive, but good quality cables.
If you are connecting to a computer USB port, you will charge slow unless it's a USB3 with a USB3 cable.

Try a usb 2.0 cable to charge it.
The little extra part for the 3.0 seems to have gone bad in my phone after only 4 months.
If I charge it with the cable that came with it, I have the results you are saying.
If I charge it with a 3 year old usb 2.0 style charger, it charges fine.
Good luck!
Get a usb voltage/current tester. They are like $10. You can test all your chargers and cords and find the under performers.

Yes, it drops to 97% straight away. This is because it drains in the background a little as the charger doesn't trickle charge. See this for an explanation http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/
I always thought that charging this tables takes forever.
Then, a few days ago I used an USB multimeter and found that using the original 1.5A Sony adapter and the original cablet, the tablet is charged just at 1.0A rate.
Then I tried with a thicker quality USB cable and the charge rate increased to 1.5A (+50%!), using all the power the adapter can give. The charge rate slowed down to 1.0A while approaching full charge but overall the charge process is much faster.
I did the test with the tablet powered on. Tried with or without the magnetic charging stand and I got the same results.
The original cable it's not damaged so I suppose the slow charging speed is intentional.
Anyway, I think I will continue to use the thicker cable so my charging times will be shorter, I suppose it's safe to charge this tablet at the full charging speed the original adapter can give, what do you think?
I never used the original cable that came with mine, I had a 6' Anker cable to spare so I used it instead and I thought it charged pretty fast, much faster then when I use the magnetic dock.
But I'm lazy, so it goes on the magnetic dock 99% of the time because it gets a full charge sitting on it anyways.
And there are kids.
Can't afford to lose the water tight bit.
This thing has found its way into the tub.
Darn good tablet.
BTW
Pretty sure its safe, its CPU is a Qualcomm that supports quick charge.

Do you use the same Anker cable with the magnetic dock? According to my findings, the magnetic dock should not slow down the charging process.
I don't have a USB multimeter, but I have used differnet USB cables to charge and found big difference in the charging time.
I have 2 original Sony chargers at home, one in the bedroom and the other in the Living room. Battery Monitor Widget showed that it could charge from 0 to 100% in 5.5 hours (at 1298mA, and 18.09% per hour) with a thick no-name brand USB magnetic cable in the bedroom, and down to only 406mA with the original Sony USB cable in my Living room.
The conclusion is: get a good thick USB charging cable.

Yes. I use the same cable.
Dock charging seems (or should I say seemed?) to work a little slower if I'm waiting on the tablet. Its not incredibly slow and I can stream Showbox (w/ Growbox and Allcast) or Netflix from the tablet and it still charge faster then use its juice, so its not a worry for me.
I've never had a battery problem with it either, it'll go all day as a reader or watching media and still have at least 30% left at the end of the day, so it goes back on the magnetic charger overnight. No reason to directly plug it in anymore.
as long as it is a working usb cable, there is no harm that a cable cause to a tablet.

Laughed aloud at the past about kids!
I bought a cheap 6ft USB charging cable and thought there was something wrong with my tablet because it took forever to charge. No multimeter, it damned on me that the cable was acting as a resistor probably because the wires are thin (cheapo).
Conversely, when I bought a refurbed z3V to have as a back up, it came with a generic charger that was rated only 1 amp (the phone charger from Sony is 1.5).
I think that as long as it doesn't go to much past the rated 1.5, it's good.

I stick to Anker. They're good products, have a decent price and if you're ever in need of customer service they're awesome.
I emailed them over a discontinued mouse that was out of warranty (software issue) and they called me the next day and made sure it was working right. This past December they sent me one of their portable phone chargers as a loyalty reward. I've got mice, keyboards, chargers, wires, phone and laptop batteries from them and they've all been fantastic. They make it hard to want to buy from anyone else if they've got it.
Hey guys,
Can you tell me just how true are rumors that if you use non-origigi adapter for charging that it will mess up your battery or something worse?
Since i use all kind of different cables/adapters and never had the problem, but now i have s7 and i dont wanna mess it up..?
Thx
well before the s7 i had the s6 and i have to be honest it did some weird stuff, battery drained super fast over night ( arround 30%) capacitive buttons showed strange behavior ( pressing the button by itself) i disabled them and used Pie control for a while. This was with all kind of cable's/chargers.
Started using original charger and cable and the battery drain turned back to normal after a while and when i turned the capacitive buttons on again and stay worked again!
I'm not 100% sure this is because of the charger or cable but i guess they do make a difference
(sorry for my probaly not grammatically correct english ^^)
Edit: i also think other quality chargers are ok
I would imagine as long as they are quality chargers/cables you'll be fine, im using a blackberry charger along with samsung one and everything works fine.
You can usually tell is the usb cable is cheap when it can't fast charge the phone, they're also pretty thin.
Just don't use the cheap Chinese **** 5 pack for $2 from eBay and you should be fine.

Charged my S5 with my PC for almost 2 years
Charged my S7 with my MiniPC many times
Obviously cheap crappy dangerous chargers will not be good, but these rumours came from people who couldn't accept that Samsung messed up, didn't want to blame the phones/batteries, so blamed the owners instead
You have more chance of the charger failing than the battery if the charger is faulty/cheap, unless of course it is pushing too much juice into the phone, but I would hazard a guess the charging circuit would fail before it managed to set a battery on fire
Just find a cheap brand that's quality and stick with it. Anker Aukey CableMatters Mediabridge all seem good though the usb connector alwasy seems to get looser and looser. I've almost completely moved over to Qi because of it.
Get a cable and charger from a decent brand name company, and make sure that it's properly rated to the phone model you have. Any time you're using an overpowered or underpowered charging source it can have a negative effect on the battery.
I have a big 4 port Aukey charger that has Ai and QC2.0 ports on it. It is great! I use the cable that came with That charger and I travel with the samsung charger and cable.
Thx for replies.. i ordered a pack of 5 cables from Anker and they are great.

Exactly. Get a quality 2A charger and a decent 20 or 22awg USB cable and you're good.
Buy that 49 cent 1 micrometer thick cable off eBay and you'll be hatin life.
While we're on the subject, there's apps that let you measure incoming charge current. I measured every cable I had in the house, one right after the other using the same power brick. Two of them wouldn't allow more than ~330mA charge current. Most others were 1.1A. Those two went right in the garbage.

The receiver I got doesn't seem to go in far enough. When plugged in to my old 3T, it will charge wirelessly and it doesn't go all the way into the phone unlike the 6T. I noticed that with the official OP charging cable there is a little click when inserting when then and only then it will charge. I can't get the receiver in far enough before bottoming out to get that click. Or would current output not be high enough on the receiver for the phone to recognize?

This phone can pretty much be charged once a day with the way most of us are using it. Having it slowly charge over night with wireless charging may be less straining in the battery. I'm tempted but so far I just charge to around 80% at night before bed and unplug overnight.
I was looking at that one on Amazon. Seems like the gold one on there may be better?
My question is, if you have to plug the wireless charging card into your USB C port anyway, does that defeat the entire purpose? Not dissing it or anything, that's very subjective, but.....

Just remove cable. No big deal I have done this. Plus I don't use the dongle only Bluetooth headphones.
The reason that I use a wireless charging receiver pad plugged into my usb-c is because I've seen more than one of them go bad on other phones.
Besides the power button, the next most likely part of a phone to fail is its charge port. Likely because of sheer mechanical wear and tear on both these components. Which is why I use gestures to turn on and off my display, and that wireless receiver.
However, it's not without drawbacks:
- I'm not sure that having something perpetually plugged in doesn't stress the port much less than taking something in and out. But I figure it does.
- It's a pain to use the port for anything else, like otg drives or wired headphones or adb
- dash charging is WAY faster than wireless

I normally charge round at 30 percent and I went to play battlefield 5 two games my phone will be fully charged is so fast. Not worth it to get a wireless charger. But is your phone do what you want I'm just here to give you a opinion lol

I have been using wireless charging since day one. No issues at all. Lay it on wireless charger at night. Wake up to full charge. No need to charge through out the day cause battery is fantastic for Edu Birdy website. This is the one I use.

Does it work if I have the terminal with the original red case?
Lack of wireless charging is my only real gripe with the 6T. This sounds like a good solution if you never plan to use the USB port. I like the quick wired charging but having the option for wireless would be a good feature. How hard could it have been for OnePlus to add? Is the back case metal? It looks like glass to me.
Just easier for me to plug in my USB-C slow charger. Not sure what the advantage is to doing this. If you put it between the back of the phone and a case, I get it. Just plugging it into a USB-C wireless receiver seems like a waste of 15 -20 bucks for zero gain. At least for me.
I bought this one so I can still charge it if needed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNW32V4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
