HI everybody, I have been a long time watcher of the these forums, but never joined until know. My Wife just got me a Sony xperia table Z Sgp312. And I bought the Sony IT Charging Cradle for Xperia Tablet Z (SGPDS5) with the HQRP 2A Fast Rapid Battery Charger (http(colan, slash.slach){www}.amazon.com/dp/B00GQWO7CS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=8NIN1LH6AE8Z&coliid=I3DVV4M50DNZ99[/url])
because I need a charger for home and work. However, it won't charger. I have tried putting the cable into the docking station and into the tablet itself, but I get nothing. I tried plugging in to my Galaxy S3 and it charged just fine. Did I buy the wrong charging cable? if so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I buyed a few days ago a new HDTV (MHL) Adapter from Amazon:
xxx.amazon.de/Samsung-HDTV-Adapterkabel-EIA2UHUN-Galaxy/dp/B0051D3KQW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312037624&sr=8-1
I tried it with my Samsung TV and my Samsung PC Monitor but I didnt get a picture on this divices. Is the cable broken or do I have to start something on my phone (SGS2)?
Thank you for the help

it has to be simultaneously charged to a mains power outlet
Of course I tried it too with the charger pluged into this adapter if you mean this.
OK, I tried it again and it works now. It was really the charging cable I think.
Thank You.
Do you have troubles with charging? In my case the phone is discharging even that charger is pluged in....
Try to run some FullHD movie and check the battery before and after 5 mins...
It is known that battery will trickle down when using MHL, despite having a charger input. If you want to watch a full movie or something you'll need a spare or extended battery.
I have been googling the issue but can't find any good answers.
I recently bought an Xperia Sola, but it won't charge from any of my car chargers.
Please note that I have systematically tried to eliminate error sources:
I have 4 different model of car chargers (I have two of a few of them, in total I have 6 USB car chargers), in 3 of them I have soldered to short D+ and D- to make my old HTC Hero use more than 500 mA (chargers can give 1 A or more). The model without the short can only give 500 mA so I haven't modified it.
Now, all four chargers will without problems charge the following devices: My old HTC Hero, my old Zen Vision: M, my daughters ZTE Blade, my sons X10 Mini Pro and my kids iPads. So, the chargers are working, the micro-USB cable works with the Blade and X10 Mini Pro (the Hero, the Zen and the iPads don't have micro-USB).
But my Sola won't even recognize it's connected to a charger.
But the Sola charges fine with half a dozen different wall socket chargers, as well as from the PC USB port and a solar cell battery pack I have.
But not any single of the car chargers I have tried...
So, what does the Sola expect from the car charger that the chargers I have are missing?? I bought car chargers with a USB port to be able to use them for all our stuff that can charger from USB with just different cables, it would really suck to have to buy yet another car charger that will have to be dedicated to the Sola...
I have the same problem! I have USB car charger from DX and it works great on Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy Mini. But Xperia Sola doesn't want even start charging!
Have you tried a car to usb adapter and then use the original cable that comes in the box for the Sola?

I didn't try with Xperia's USB cable. I don't think that the cable can make any difference.
But I also tryed original charger from my Garmin Nuvi 205w and also it can not charge Xperia Sola.
I have tried both the original cable and half a dozen other cables. They all work with the wall chargers as well as the USB solar cell battery pack. But not with any of the car chargers...
Luckily I can use my old HTC Hero (running CoPilot) as a GPS in the car. But it would be nice to be able to charge the Sola in the car too... Now I have to charge the USB solar cell battery pack from the car and then the phone from the battery pack. Not a very neat solution.
I had the same problem with my Sola. Then I bought original Sony Ericsson charger and it works now.
Try this one: Sony Ericsson Micro USB Car Charger AN401 (1200mA, price 12EUR)

From my post: "it would really suck to have to buy yet another car charger that will have to be dedicated to the Sola..."
I had the same problem: when I connected the USB cable to the 700mA car charger, the orange LED on Sola blinked and it didn't charge.
Now I am using a 1000mA car charger and up to now it seems to work fine.

Interesting, since my 1000 mA chargers don't work... I wonder what the difference is...

I know this isn't the thread for my device but it's still a sony and I'm just trying to help. My xperia m charges fine when connected to a computer. As an experiment, I slipped a bit of paper between the two inside pins on the computer side(D+ and D-). No charging in xperia m, but charging in Galaxy mini. Is this a software limitation or hardware limitation. I am guessing hardware.
Old thread, but I finally bought a Sony charger and it works. Still can't understand why the other ones didn't. At least now I am able to charge my phone in the car.

Could you share with me the charger? I've made myself homemade charger from 4AA bateries it works with all other devices except my Xperia L(Might be the same problem)
If I recall correct it's called AN401 or AN402 (I think they are the same charger, only different cable).
Turns out, Sony implemented restrictions in the kernel. Google something called float charging, of you're interested.

Just thought I'd let people know of my experiences using a car charger with the USB magnetic charging cable. I have a 2.1 amp dual port USB car charger and also a Sony magnetic charging cable from my CP12 battery cover. I tried using the magnetic charging cable plugged into the car charger this morning and attached the magnetic charging end to my Xperia Z Ultra. The phone was on around 24% and started charging pretty quickly up until around 40% within probably 20mins. This is quite fast for this particular car charger as it seemed to take ages when I used to use it to charge my HTC One X with a normal micro USB cable. Anyway after it hit 40% I noticed it had stopped charging. I had a look at the charger and the power LED was off so I went to pull it out to check and noticed it was very hot! Not sure if it blew a fuse or went into thermal overload shutdown but I definitely think that it isn't really rated at 2.1amp.
Has anyone else had experiences using a car charger to charge their Xperia Z Ultra? I might just try the micro USB cable next time but I liked how quickly it charged with the magnetic charging cable.
I haven't tried it but I think the problem is the magnetic cable that you are using.

I'm actually very impressed that you were able to get the magnetic cable to stay. If I am able to get the cable to stick, I can't even breathe around it.

Hi Julz,
I hope your device is ok. I was using a similar charger in my car. Had two USB slots. 1amp and 2.1amp.
I'm not sure what cause it, or what happened. But I've had to send my Ultra to the store where I bought it. For some reason my device did that same as you describe. It also wouldn't stop the LED from showing. Meaning that it thought it was charging all the time. (even when not plugged in)
Now amps should be fine. Its the volts that you have to worry about. I posed a thread about batteries that talks about amps volts and how to look after your device... take a look

I have been using my Magnetic charging cable ( I pulled out of my Sony DK30 )
in my car for over a month with the Griffin PowerJolt Micro & have not had a
single issue with the phone or the charger . here are the specs & a pic of the charger .
Technical Specifications
Input: 12 volts DC
Output: 5 volts DC at 2.1 amps
Output power: 10 watts link to charger .

Yeah I think the generic no name chargers probably lack quality circuitry to regulate the charging properly. I'm hoping the Xperia Z Ultra has some decent built in charging protection to prevent issues with minor spikes or fluctuations. Brand name chargers like griffin should be ok.
Similarly, been using the magnetic cable with a griffin car adapter without any problems since I got my unit.
Tablet is a rooted Verizon Xperia Z2.
If it's powered on it will not charge with original stock USB charger or a generic magnetic dock charger.
If I turn it off it charges perfectly with either charger.
What could be wrong?
Try Ampere app to see what's the tablet measuring!
I just bought an ebay refurb Z2 and mine won't charge with the usb or magnetic cable unless it's totally shut down. Won't even charge in standby mode with the screen off. Did you find a solution?

Had the same problem on KitKat 4.4.4., but after flashing Lollipop 5.1.1. It worked....
Hmmm, with my own cable (not original) I had the same problem in the past.
But when I used the original Sony cable, it worked well. !?!?!?
Hello there.
I bought a xperia z2 to replace my lg g3 . The phone is great. At the box it had a ep880 charger which not only was ugly but it was charging my phone slow (compared to my g3 at least).
I decided to buy a better charger and i bought the samsung EP-TA20EWE . The problem is that the phone is not charging with this charger at all.
I tested it at other devices and the charger works great. I replaced the usb cable and still nothing.
The phone charges fine either with its own charger or if i connect it to a computer.
Is there any idea why is this happening ??
PS. i do not own the official usb cable of samsung's charger, dont know if that matters..
Just use the Sony charger. Xperias are very very picky about chargers.
That is what i am doing. But i was really curious about why is this happening
