Yesterday I found this great looking Docking-Station: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/de/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179445
It would look great with the HD but it doesn't fit. Is there anyone, who found a similar station that works with the HD?
This is really the only quality one I know of:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/desktopcradle/htc-touch-hd-desktop-cradle_3387.htm
Not the most attractive, but like I said, quality.
I'm also looking for a cradle that looks good, the only on I have found is this one:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=175740
However it seems pretty expensive and not to my particular tastes so I was wondering if there were any others too.
Does anyone have any recent experience of using the cheapo docking cradles available for the TouchHD on eBay? I'm based in the UK but would be happy enough to buy one from a seller over here or in Hong Kong.

All they do is connect the USB port to the computer, they are basically a USB lead with a built in stand for the phone. The ones with a second battery socket have a second power input and a charging circuit.

I've got two of those.
One with the extra battery loader.
Dirt cheap on ebay (11 and 16 euro's). Great build quality.
Have the loader on my desk and the other on my nightstand. GREAT!

I got a cheap one from eBay for my desk at work. It works fine for charging the Touch HD, but it doesn't physically support it very well. If you are clicking anywhere near the top of the screen, the phones bends away from you (if you can understand what I mean).
Thanks for all the feedback. Looks as though I may have to look for a slightly more expensive brand of cradle/dock.
Do any of the well-known brands come with the ExtUSB connector instead of the standard mini-USB connector?
Im have a CRG300 craddle, just used a dremmel to make on of the adapters fit the HD.
do you have a foto of the station with the hd in?
Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

I bought this windscreen mount. Works really well as was designed specifically for the Ultra
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?
I edited my first post and removed all links to DX website and replaced the posting to say people should avoid them

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.

Looks like Sony once again bring out a charging dock tailored for the new flag ship named DK36
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/magnetic-charging-dock-dk36/
I wonder if we removed the cable from the DK31 dock it will fit the magnetic ports on the Z2?
This is the first design flaw I've spotted with the Z2. The dock actually blocks a little part of the screen. The dock makes it a very good mini television and this kind of ruins it. Hope this isn't the case and this isn't the final product.
I emailed Sony about the dock, they say that the z1 dock will not work on the z2. I assume they mean that the pins won't align

It seems the thickness of two phone is different that why the z1 dock will not work on the z2.
I found some magnetic chargers sold on line are compatible with Z1, Z1C and Z2.

I don't see that problem at all. Right now, My Z2 is sitting in the charging dock and the lip is a fraction below the margin of the bezel leaving the entire screen visable.

Ok, thank you for clearing that up.
Generic Dock from Amazon
I bought this generic one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JE81AJE
Works perfectly and even has a different width receiver for when you fit a case on to the Z2 and it's half the price. Recommended :good:
I've sent mine back to Amazon, the dock charger only works when plugged into the wall socket, it doesn't charge the phone (or provide any connection whatsoever) when plugged into a USB port. Maybe it's obvious for everyone else, but it wasn't for me.
Also, this 30 euro accessory is just a small piece of plastic, you don't even get a USB cable in the package. Sony is charging way too much for this.
I'm now hoping for a third-party dock that will be able to connect and charge via USB.
I can't use either of my cases with the dock. So had to order the official Sony case (through I hate cases like that). Gutted that I can't use a thin gel case on it, in the dock!

Does the SCR10 case fit the dock? I know it should because they are both officially from Sony, but it seems a bit weird to fit it.

Yup. It does fit without problems.
Are there any 3rd party cases that fit? I really hate cases like the official Sony one, but have ordered it purely to protect the device, even though I hate the style. Every gel case I have purchased from eBay or Amazon does not fit...

This is exactly the same with the dock from the Xperia Z - completely overpriced and they don't advertise that it must use a high-current charger, 500mA from a USB port won't work.
At least they should include a power adapter + cable. The dock has to contain about $1 worth of materials, if even that.

Thought it would be nice to post here as well. Not sure if you're aware of this: Anyone thinking about cases and the dock, it has a removable part that, when removed, lets you insert the phone with many kinds of cases.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK36-Charging-Dock-Smartphone/dp/B00HWUQEZQ/ref=pd_cp_computers_0
Here you can see the "seamline" which is the removable part. It is also stated in the description. Just to let you know in case you didn't already.

I can assure you it does not go into the dock if you wanted that. And there are full length cables that do the same thing (at least I think the magnetic charging cables fit with a case), saves the hassle of an adapter. If you can justify getting it, then nice find mate.

Found this today while looking for a new car stereo, all I can say is WOW!
It's purpose built to be used with the Xperia phones - acts as a phone dock and charges through the charging strip. I've seen pricing is going to be $250 and it'll be released in May, hopefully it's available in the UK at a reasonable price.
Not sure if this youtube link will show up correctly.

Just checked the specs and it seems that this is compatible with over 15 xperia devices so it would be safe to assume it would be compatible with the z2. I think the thing that let's it down is that it does not come with any form of charging capability though

Well, my Samsung Note 3 dock is the same way. It doesn't have a built in charger like the Galaxy S2 dock used to. So I have to plug in a micro-usb car charger separately. I got a magnetic car charger from Amazon, so I'll probably end up doing something similar for the Z2.
I may go ahead and order the Sony one; speaking of which, I received the dk36 magnetic charger today as well.
And I think that is the direction I'll go. Official dock + magnetic charger. Currently have the official HTC one x dock and the quality of that is significantly better than any other 3rd party cheap dock I have tried before. Hoping Sony dock is good quality
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
That car dock looks pretty much the same as many if the universal docks.
I think I may just have Fab my own since it doesn't look like they ever offer a proper model specific dock for Sony phones. I can easily modify a cheap hard case with a magnetic charger attached to it for more functional and easy to use dock.
This is one thing I'll miss about Motorola(assuming they've continued doing it), they offer cheap model specific docks that use the same ball mount as Garmin so you options on how you mount it in your car.
I got my magnetic dock the other day, it's smaller than I thought it would be. I was hoping I could put a NFC tag on top of it to trigger some tasker tasks but I don't think it will be close enough to the sensor.

It looks to me like that dock is a unit that you mount in-dash. Once you put the phone in the cradle it "becomes" the head unit. One major benefit to having a built in radio tuner in the phone. Seems pretty awesome to me.

I got one from Crutchfield and installed it a couple of days ago - works good so far! I've posted a review on Amazon.
That said, I would probably have chosen a device-specific cradle from Brodit/ProClipUSA if one had been available for the Z2 by now - their Z1 cradles seem nice (and I've had good luck with their previous products for other phones).

That said, I would probably have chosen a device-specific cradle from Brodit/ProClipUSA if one had been available for the Z2 by now - their Z1 cradles seem nice (and I've had good luck with their previous products for other phones).

4 stars - good enough for me!
Still waiting on the replacement facia as my Mazda 2 won't take a double din (or single din) without it. Really just hoping the cables I've got for the steering controls work as the manufacturer (Connects2) advised. Heard the Axxess ASWC-1 that you have would definitely control all the functions but the Connects2 guy advised theirs also works and I got it at a fraction of the price compared to the ASWC-1 which seems to be a US product.
Hello,
My Z Ultra should be arriving later this week. For my previous phone (a Samsung Galaxy Note 2), I had the following case/holster combination...

I would really like to have a similar case for my Z Ultra, but have been unable to locate one myself. If you have seen one somewhere, please let me know.
Regards,
Judging by the lack of response, I am assuming that such a case does not exist for the Z Ultra. I guess I will have to get a friend of mine with a 3d printer to make a custom holster for me. Since I will be doing that, I may as well go with one of the cases with a built in battery for the phone side of the set. Anyone know of a 3rd party one that can be charged using the magnetic connector? I know the Sony CP12 case can, but I am not willing to pay that kind of money.
Regards,
Hi.. did you checked for the Brando SPOJA000600? You can find it on Amazon and i'm still deciding to buy it or not.

I have looked at it, and the case is charged via Micro USB.
I broke down and ordered a battery case that charges via micro USB from http://www.ebay.com/itm/151426250654
I just received it last night, and while it is not my idea of the perfect case, it does feel very sturdy and well built. My phone fits in it nice & secure, yet is easy to remove when I want to. There was no manual included with the case, although the box it came in did say it had a 5v 800ma input and 5v 500ma output. Based on this, I assume the case can trickle charge while passing power through to the phone. I will test this in the next couple of days, once I have drained both the battery on the case & on the phone a bit.
Update: Less than 24 hours after I put the case on my phone, the case suddenly started feeling warm to the touch and its charging light turned on (even though it was not plugged in to anything). Shortly after that, I was able to smell burnt plastic coming from the micro USB opening on the case. Based on this, I definitely do NOT recommend this case.
Regards,
