As title states. Looking to use some molding equipment, wire and solder to convert a Qi charging pad for s3 to adapt to the z2 magnetic port.
Anyone know of any unforeseen limitations with this?
The top pin is positive, other pin is ground.

Intended to do so. Just doing my research at work is all. Think it will be fun to make a wireless pad adapted to the charging port.
Keep me informed.

There has been multiple threads on XDA developers about the magnetic charging port falling out of the device and im start to regard buying a dk36 charger.
I want to ask a few question in regards of the use of the magnetic charger and how you think it came loose in your device:
How did you get the magnetic charger to attach to your device? did you just let it clip in with the magnetic or did you have to apply force to either the device or the charger to get it to start working?
With the use of the official magnetic charger (dk36) did you just let it clip to the device or did you have to apply pressure to the device to get it start charging once it clipped in?
How did you remove/ dismount the charger?(kinda stupid by hey)
And how did you fix the problem/ RMA the device?

I have been using mine for the past month and nothing loose, nothing falling apart. The magnet is not that strong.
Mind you, I don't swim with my phone so I don't know if it has become less waterproof or something like that, but definitely, the port sits tight, it is rigid and no problems.
I've been using the magnetic charger since my Xperia Z1, and never had problems with it coming off.
Same here have the official magnetic charger past few months and no problems what so ever.
I've got a cheap Sony knock off magnetic USB cable. Works fine.

I went to a Sony Centre to confirm if the cable is a knock off or not and their answer was: "This is a Genuine cable, but it's not available in your region."
However this cable doesn't have the "build week indicator" so it has to be a knock off, right? 0.o
Anyway this "Sony" magnetic cable gives me a headache. Genuine or not?
You can't apply force to make contact with the charging port(on Sony docks) the magnet is what pulls the contacts together(phone rests on dock).
I've been using magnetic charging docks from day 1(3mo ago) until a few weeks(when my port quit working) and it's still firmly in place(wish it would have fell out instead of failing so at least I could fix it myself).

it seems only older models of the Z2 have alot of issues, only new ones seem not to have these majour faults
my freind has a brand new Z2 and i said you wont like heating issue yet he says he doesnt get overheating while playing games which i feel ls a lie because i had heating while web browsing and this was extreme heating, something not as heavy as a highly detailed graphicly intensive game
but newer Z2 quality apears improved, you can see proof across xda :/
i think sony may have fixed the magnetic port issue in the newest manufactured models :/, its glued in in old but lets see about new?

he claims his batch no. is 14w30
-He claims the folowing:
no heating issues
no camera shut down
no random bootloops
no squshy button issue
no faulty camera button
no flaps issue
no random data loss issue
mine was 14w20 (i had a 14w17 device before sony gave free replacement)
and i had all issues mentioned above
heating (no camera shutdown ever oddly)
random bootloops with no mods
buttons werent clicky at all
camera button sometimes never worked
my flaps wouldent stay closed
my entire device would wipe its self for no reason
list goes on
lol im glad i dont have any phone right now xD
Mine is 14w18 and no issues you mentioned above (except device does get hot after prolonged use under the sun).
I'm wondering is the magnetic charging port falling out due to a really strong magnet on the charging dock/ module or is it falling out due to heat or applied force ?
I assume the official charging dock dk36 would have the "correct" magnetic strength to not ripp out the magnetic port of the phone
I've been having a lot of problems with my magnetic charging cable. When I first got it (from Amazon), it worked great. Connected easily, and charged wonderfully. Now, it seems loose and wobbly, and I have to set it the right way so it connects. Tolerable if setting on table to charge, but in the car or while holding it is frustrating.
I have a 14w19, and have been having overheating issues at times, and 1 dead pixel, and not rooted.. Should I try for a replacement?
well my official dk36 just came in so yeh lets see how thing goes and if its faulty or not
I have not been able to find this anywhere. Doe's anybody know if this will have a upright charging dock? I have seen a lot reviews that state the charging points have been removed to help make the tablet thinner. It would look really weird and be very inconvenient to have to plug this bad boy in using the mini USB port at my desk.
I asked this question a long time ago, and I didn't get an answer because it was to new. so now maybe somebody can tell me.

I do not believe Sony will create an upright charging dock for the Xperia Z4 tablet seeing that the USB port is the only charging connection. If there is a reason you need the tablet to sit upright while it is being charged, you could just use a folding folio case to do it.
The missing docking possibilities are really a disadvantage compared to tablet Z and Z2!
Please Sony! We expect magnetic (or wireless) charging dock back in next generation! !

Yes there is, its the DK53 Micro USB charging dock, just attach the right fitting to hold the tablet in place
Can confirm this as i work for Sony
I bought xperia z2 two months back...
The flap 2 days ago started opening itself..
It's getting worse and worse everyday...
Is there any solution for it?
If i got it changed,will the problem be solved
Thanks in advance
Had this as well. Only changing flap will solve problem. After change use magnetic charger and dont open flap if you dont have to.

You got it changed from sony or some 3rd party vendor?
Your flap was very loose? like pop up every 2 second..
After changing you havent seen that issue?
Got spare frome amazon. Looks and work as original. Its not expensive as well. After changing problem gone. But im using magnetic charger so dont have to open flap.

How much time magnetic charger takes to charge your phone?
I was having a problem
0%-48% in 2 hours :/
Whats your time?
I didnt check time but takes longer then usb charging. I think it about 4h to full charge from 0 to 100% when phone is not on
I use the DK30 charging dock and occasionally a usb magnetic charging cable. Actually I haven't opened the USB for a couple of months now. However, today I was surprised to see that the magnetic connector from the phone was left in the dock
Has anyone had a similar issue and how you fix it? My ZU is still under warranty, however in another country. I'm considering gluing it back in with something, but I'm unsure whether it would be sufficient for the waterproofing.
I searched around a little, and it looks like you're not the only one facing this issue. The Z2 and the Z3C users have also reported that the magnetic connector falls off. Here's a thread about the Z2's issues. One user managed to fix it himself though by, and I quote:
Here's what I did with mine.
All I did was I got a AAA battery and used the + end of the battery and forced it in real hard. Now it won't come out. Even with the very stong magtron magnet. It must have clipped back into place when I forced it in.
Also my phone is waterproof again as I tested it by dunking it in a bowl of water.
Might not work with everyone but worked for me.

You could try that, and if it doesn't work, then you could possibly glue it back on. What country are you currently in, and where did you buy it from?
