I messed up with my z2. The thing is, I want to know which one is the GND and which one is + on the magnetic charging port.
Thanks!

Will there be an Magnetic Charging Cable for the Dock-Connector located on the side of the Tablet Z?
I don´t want to remove the cover of the usb port, only for charging the tablet.
No (probably)
I think it's highly unlikely, here's why:
1. There is the issue of the port distinguishing which contact is positive and which is negative (other devices get around this by having a symmetrical port).
2. The contacts themselves aren't very strongly ferrous indicating to me that they hadn't designed it to receive a magnetic charger.
3. There is the charging dock/stand which is designed to get around the port flaps inconvenience. I can't see that they would have made two solutions to the same problem.
Some users in the Xperia Z accessories forum (try this thread) have made home-made magnetic chargers using an old Sony Ericsson fast port and small bar magnets. Take a look at there work to see if making your own is an option to you.
Maybe a weekend-project...
someone knows the pin assignment (GND/VCC) ?

The contact nearest the volume rocker is +ve, the contact nearest the speaker is -ve.
At least that is how it is marked out on the charging dock.

Correct, it works with my home made XZ dock, but won't sit in it because of size obviously.

I was hoping there would be a magnetic charging cable for the Tablet, I would have bought the Dock if I didn't have a case (pain to remove).

I'm wondering If the above would work...
New chance for a magnetic charger cable?!?
Hi,
I have found a magnetic charger cable for the XTZ at aliexpress.com (see "New Magnetic USB Charging Cable Line Adapter Charger For Sony Xperia Tablet Z SO-03E SGP341/311/312").
Does anyone have already some experience with this cable (or any other magnetic cable from "zerdax")?
It is not so much cheaper than Sony's original dock, so I'd like to see some reference before ordering it.

Sorry, I cannot. The board software tells me that I still have to post a lot of messages before I am allowed to post outside links
I have to admit that the search function on aliexpress seems to employ some kind of random and fuzzy logic.
So, please try to search for "magnetic xperia tablet z" on aliexpress.com and, hopefully, you will find it on the third page.

Found it, I'm definitely interested, its very expensive so unless you use a case I recommend just getting the dock.
I use a case so I will probably purchase that.
Edit: That seller only has 1 rating.

Hi, can someone recommend a good magnetic charging cable/adapter?
I've tried two adapters and both have poor charging rates.

That's what I have at the moment, the charging rate is really slow.

Hmm, I'm wondering if I should just go for the dock tbh, I know with the Z ultra dock you can take the cable out by removing some screws, hopefully its the same with the Z2 one.
@tyteen4a03 official magnetic charging cable or dock? if its cable can you post a link ?

Ah, I wonder if the Z2 dock will work with the Z2 Tablet.. I really don't want to buy the dock for both devices. Hence why i was hoping I could either use the genuine cable from the dock or find a decent aftermarket one.

My cable is marked for Z1/Ultra; I'm guessing they all use the same port.

see the dock connectors are same but DK36 being small wont be able to support Z2 tablet so if you want to use magnetic port for both i suggest you buy a magnetic cable instead..you can try ebay i myself got a magnetic cable for Z2 and it charges my device pretty quick from the original charger...

I got the cable at a shop; the page is here though: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Magnetic-Charging-Xperia-Compact/dp/B008WGKPS6
I've gone for this one:

Hopefully it'll be decent.

Are the best charging cable I have found, unfortunately, through many trial and errors.
In my experience, with my phone, the charge rate for this cable is as good as the DK36 dock ( and I find the charge rate of the DK36 dock to fairly reasonable). Other cables i've tried like the aluminum LED one couldn't manage 1% in 10 minutes.
The magnets are strong and they snap snugly onto the phone, which can be a draw back if you use certain types of cases. It's more expensive than the other cables, but I think you're getting your monies' worth
A bit off topic, but does anyone know if it's possible to get a data connection via the magnetic port, or is it strictly charging only?

Charging only.
Warning for those using magnetic charging cables. There is a risk of the port breaking off and falling out. It has happened to me and others. The port is just glued onto the frame and will fall out if repeated force is applied to the port. I suspect heat from the charging may also weaken the adhesive. I have switched to the USB port for charging after Sony replaced my phone due to this design flaw.

Would if I use the rom xperia P and put hdmi work? I once read an administrator on the forum SONY mention that with that software could not be exchanged and will it work?
flashing xperia p rom will brick your phone.
and where the honest *uck do you plan on plugging in the hdmi cable if as xperia u has no HDMI port.
you can try something like this http://www.marttree.com/sony-xperia-u-hdmi-mhl-cable.html
or use dlna.
LoL!!
yeah, I use hdmi on xperia u, some glue to micro usb and hdmi cable and it works!
WHAT? :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Just buy a Chromecast and stop fooling around! xD

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.

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
