does UK version come with the charging dock? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

was looking at those websites offering sim free version pre-order and noticed that the magnetic charging dock is not mentioned by any of them. so the UK version doesn't include this dock? any one to confirm?
the websites i was looking at are clove, unlocked-mobiles, and handtec.

Most of the UK retailers are offering a speaker + the NC headset. The dock is only included in the Taiwan version

Nope. Mine had the charger, a USB lead, a USB host lead, the Bluetooth speaker and the noise-cancelling headphones and that's it. Not even a magnetic charger adapter.

Where did you get the dock for £20? I've only seen them for £25

I have ordered one of these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JE81AJE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Rather less than the Sony price. This fits the Z2 perfectly and charges the phone fine. I'm told that the phone can be made to look like an alarm clock when in the dock and this suits me fine, as my Pure Evoke Flow is becoming unreliable....

Sync Cable

I lost my sync cable & charger. Is there good oem sync cable / usb charger out there? (Ebay, Amazon...)
Thanks.
there was a guy that reported being able to get it at Fry's (brick and mortar, not from the website).

It's like no one has ever asked this before....
AC adapters seem to be pretty rare, and there isn't a lot of stock out there. You can check the stores that carry the TF (Fry's, Best Buy, etc) and see if they happen to have any, but I wouldn't hold my breath at this point.
I signed up for a stock notification from some website and got notice that they had some in last week. I ordered that evening and they were down to only 26 in stock. Got the charger and cable on Friday.
one of my friend said the sync cable is available at Asus service center.
I will make a phone call to check and get one if it is really available.
The sync cable should cost around $6.
p.s in Taiwan now.
Actually, u dont need to buy the adapter from Asus at all.
Just get a ipad AC adapter would be fine. The out put is 2Ah currency.
Which is acceptable for Asus TF101. I personally use it already.
I believe they are sold at Office Depot.
See hear:

I would do more research before buying this as the ipad charger is 5v and will charge but very slow

What he said. It's been known for quite some time that the ASUS charger has a 5V 2A circuit AND a 15v 1.2A circuit. The higher voltage circuit is carried on the extra pins provided by a USB 3.0 connector.
An iPad charger will work, but only if the unit is off or in sleep, and it will work very slowly.

there's a US guy on ebay doing the cable-only shipped to the uk for £20, and he threw in a usb F --> F 5.5/2.1 barrel adaptor with mine as a free gift. you'd just need to add a cheap 12v ac/dc adaptor to that.
but needless to say, research and double-check polarities etc carefully before plugging anything in.

It not just the cable, it the complete charger. Yes, still a little more than I'd like to pay.... But the the cheapest price so far, for an official Asus charger.
Charger/cable now available from Asus
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3613
The charge cable and AC adapter is still out of stock in Taiwan.
I went to the Asus official service center yesterday. They said it would be
available around early Sep.

search ebay for "ASUS Transformer TF101 - USB Connector Cable". it comes up as an international seller item on ebay uk.
note though that asus UK is now doing the cable + original charger for £25 with free shipping which might be a better deal unless you want to also hack together a car charging option.

If you are in the usa you can go to office depot store or website and buy the set (cable and AC) for $30 plus tax, and website shipping free over $50. The website shows status in stores close to your location. In stock means 2-3 and limited stock 1-2.

I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.

No way to tell unless you order. But usual rule of thumb is no cases work with these docks. I wanna get one, but I'm currently using an extended battery, and just ordered an aluminum bumper...so definitely won't fit lol

Thanks for sharing this! great buy. just ordered one.:good:
Thx, bought.
I ordered one too.. I am going to check if the dock is actually charging my Note as "AC" instead of "USB".
I ordered a cheap dock and battery charger (brand is Hyperion --> here) and it charges my Note in "USB" mode. Not only it takes longer, but the Note have issue such that with USB charging, the Note will stop going to Deep Sleep (search XDA for this) when unplugged from USB charger and it loses the battery much faster. The only solution is to REBOOT the phone..which is very annoying at the very least.
MHL wont work
Well apparently, this dock is only good for charging / desk clock only.
you can not use MHL cable behind the dock and HDMI out.
It doses charges via MHL cable but dose not do HDMI out.
I know tht part sucks the most, but that is what it is.

Really? I have the same dock as you, but my dock doesn't charge my phone in USB mode.
I just found this out yesterday, but: if you have a spare battery and want to charge that and your phone, use the right port to charge both.

With this dock, it only gives up to 500mA. Samsung and HTC OEM charger give 1100mA.
Also, I tried the charger with both the International Note (shown as USB charging) and AT&T (shown as AC charge but gives 500mA).
However, for charging extra battery it is indeed useful.

Oh ok! That's really helpful info. Also, I thought you meant that there was an actual "mode" that the phone went into charge.
Do you know if the official Samsung dock charges gives 1100mA?
Have you tried using different cables and the samsung wall charger with the cradle? On a previous phone I had an Anker cradle. The wall charger that came with it did the same thing but when I connected my HTC charger to it all was fine.

I have. I even get a replacement dock from the seller and same result. The dock have 2 microUSB port: one for "sync" and the other for "charge" using the included power supplies. I tried connecting one and the other and then even connecting BOTH at the same time (to power supplies, to laptop, etc.)
FYI, the dock have TWO charging capacity: for phone and extra battery. The power supply that came with the dock is rated 1.5mA. I maybe wrong, but maybe the circuitry inside the dock prevent it from receiving more than 500mA to charge both the Note and the battery at the same time?
I don't have the Samsung OEM charger, so I don't know if this is common to all dock.

Charging

Hi, first Sony smartphone, long overdue. Anyways, is the magnetic charger on the side the only way to charge it? does it use standard microUSB?
also, international ZU owners, can anyone confirm if this comes with a 2 pronged US adapter? ( I'm betting against it).
I seen an unboxing that came with a dock, is that the "big-box" Taiwan one only?
Any car chargers showing up yet??
From what i understand (i dont own one) there is also a regular MicroUSB port hidden under a waterproof flap.

So far it seems that the magnetic charging cum dock is available in Taiwan boxes. Mine is a Hong Kong set and it doesn't come with it. I don't think Malaysian sets have it too.
There's of course a standard microUSB charging dock. It's located at the top left and hidden under a flap.
All the z ultra accessories need wait until next month. because this device just launched on 5 August at low yatt plaza. Form the Sony staff information the dock maybe can get after hari raya but the sbh52 bluetooh headset no ideal yet..... The dock not expensive I think around Rm199-229 the sbh52 around Rm259-299 maybe higher . The price info come from internet.

Ah yes, the Sony cum dock
It uses a standard micro usb slot and charger. Mine did not come with a US charger but the vendor gave me a US conversion adapter. I just use my old Samsung charger I used on my S4 and it works fine.
Any good quality micro usb charger of > 1.5A @ 5V will work fine. I use a Samsung charger rated at 2A

UHC 20 Charger

So I've got the UHC 20 charger included in my Z5P. However, this one's imported from Clove UK (I'm from Canada) so I think it's designed specifically for UK use as it's got this three-prong thing (I don't know what it's called.) What should I buy to get it working here in Canada? Is there like an adapter I can put in the charger to make it work. I've attached a picture for reference. Also, is this a quick charger?
There are adapters you could get but honestly, I'd just buy a Qualcomm certified quick charger...they are quite inexpensive now...I think Amazon has some as cheap as $9
