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.

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.
I have the SCR10 and wondering to buy the DK36, but I don't want it if I have to take of the cover.

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.

As a previous xperia Z owner, I could not live without the dk26 dock, unflapping the phone every time didn't feel right.
That being said, the dock for the zu is called dk30. I cannot find a way to get one of these in north america at the moment. Lets put our heads together and post whatever we can about this dock and the elusive sbh-52 bluetooth receiver.
I really want that sbh-52 bluetooth receiver as a business person I am going to keep my large phone in my bag most of the time. So I would like to carry that small receiver in my pockets to answer calls with. Let's face it, my head is average sized and putting that phone up to my head does look quite silly!
So do i. Why the Sony won't launch both accessories together with z ultra? Now when I answer the phone so attractive to other people look at me like the Mr bean.

Maybe is the same seller but you can get on Ebay also
i can't wait til the Bluetooth handset is release, looks like that going to be a must have accessory.
I saw in another youtube video that someone had a magnetic power connector. Does anyone know what that one is called and where to buy it?
It would be just as easy to pop that on then to put in dock. Dock will be great for my office and magnet for my nightstand.

It's DX (formerly known as Deal Extreme), and it's 100% "fake". Still, i have ordered from them a couple of times in the past, and i haven't had any trouble with "their" products. They are shipping out from Hong Kong for free, so expect it to be slow (It takes 10-14 days for me in Europe), but my bet would be 5-7 days for the US (I assume they're going in the other direction )

So the dock itself is just effectively a stand and you have to connect the EC21 into the dock to actually charge the device?
Or do you get a complete charging dock and a separate magnetic charging cable, so that you could leave one at work and the other at home?
I suspect its the first option but just checking

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).

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.
Ok really stupid question, i have my z2, i have the official sony case and also the official sony dk39 magnetic charger, the charger and case are both advertised as you can charge your tablet even with the case on.
i dont know if i am missing something, but i am finding it hard to work out how exactly i do this lol
i have tried with the removable part that comes with the charger both off and on, with it off the tablet and case just fall out, with the removable part attached the tablet and case are too thick to fit in?
I am having to practically make sure that the covers of the case are folded and hanging in a certain position so that i can just sit the tablet on the charger (as if the case wasn't on), so that only the tablet is sliding into the dock.
im not sure if this is how its supposed to be, but the way i read the advertisement for both, i got the impression that the tablet with the case closed would be able to slot into the charger and it would still charge through the case?
Or have i just been really stupid and i am trying to do something thats impossible, im just confused by all the reviews that say you can use this sony case with the charger?
Thanks

That's the way.
And the cover can be hung/dressed in different ways... the whole case is like a crazy origami.
I use the magnetic flap to hold it, so when it is in the dock, the case is in an upside down "Y" shape.
Has anyone tried the common Chinese after-market versions of the DK39? I have one that really mitigates (meaning, bad) the power flow. Using Battery Monitor, the amperage is about half from the same transformer going through the pseudo-DK39 vs. directly to the USB port. Visually, this stand is identifiable by not having the little back support to keep the tablet upright.
I see another unit I'm tempted to buy that does have that small backplate. That's the one I'm curious about. 1) does it allow positioning of the Z2T in the cradle with a thin TPC case? 2) does it rival the USB port in power delivery?

That removable part needs to be attached.
Tablet cover needs to be opened for charging the tablet. So you do not need to remove the cover - but you need to open it.
Just look at the case, look at the contacts. Contacts need to make contact with the charging pins of the DK39; that's why they're called that way.

This is no inductive charger (as seen with electric toothbrushes), the charger needs to be in direct touch with the charging contacts at the Z2's bottom. If you punch two additional holes in the case, it might work. If you are not willing to do this: Open the case, charge.
And enjoy far shorter charging times if using a better power adapter than Sony's - e. g. Samsungs 2 A chargers (the ones provided with S4, S5, etc.).

Any reason ?
Just because it's from China ? - There are SO many real great products from China - I don't see any sense in comdemning a product just because of it's origin.
So please provide a REASON - or remove your post.
I am not talking about original Chinese products, but replicas, copies of products from big brands; these are usually terribly inferior quality wise. If this charging dock is called dk39 but it's not made by Sony, then it's a fake. It may somewhat function, but it's still a fake.
Case and charger
Hi,
I have both the Sony case the the magnetic charger.
On the charger, insert the "loose" part into the base of the charger and simply fold the cover back. They work seamlessly and allow you to charge without removing the case.

The magnetic charging docks are not bad. Also, the qi charging case from Sony is pretty nice. However, the best case would be a plastic case with a Qi wireless coil inside with a lead that wraps around and fits over the magnetic contact. Qi chargers like the Tylt work really well and they are so handy at home and in the car. I wear a holster so the flip cover is not necessary.

I know, that's why I asked if maybe there are some prototype floating around
I did not mean to infer that I had one of the Sony Qi charging cases. I may have purchased one had they been available. I prefer the a slim fitting tpu or hybrid case. However, none that I have found fit correctly. Sony's magnetic charging docks are great and work fast, but one has to remove his case to use them. Yet no one makes a good case that covers up the SIM/Micro USB cover and exposes the magnetic charging area. This is totally stupid. One only seldomly changes his SIM and needs access to the micro usb port, but one always needs to charge.
If Sony is not going to add a Qi charger in the phone, they should at least make some good folio and slim fit cases at a sub $50 price that can be left on while charging using the magnetic dock.
Also, charging with a car dock is a pain without Qi charging using the Z2. The buttons are all in the wrong place also and interfere with the sides of both my car docks.
It's a real shame that Sony has not made a better attempt at charging options combined with cases. The Sony Z2 is a great phone. Even better yet woukd be a removeable battery. This is the only feature that keeps me going back to Samsung.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
I have been thinking about trying this. I have dismantled a magnetic charger and there are only 2 wires in there. Positive and negative. Is there anything stopping me buying a universal micro usb qi adapter and soldering the positive and negative from that onto the positive and negative of the magnetic charger and hiding it all inside a case?
That's an interesting Idea. I've thought of the same thing, though I wanted to connect to the magnetic charger contact rather than the micro USB port. I'd like to make a case with a Qi charger and FM radio antenna built in. It wouldn't take up that much space.
I hope someone at Sony is watching this thread.

I for one actually feel a bit cheated.
The did announce Qi charging capability through a case and plate and while I had to choose between the S5/M8/Z2, this was one of the element that I considered...
Now all of a sudden they decide to cancel...
Though I would much prefer a Qi charger, the magnetic chargers can be useful. I bought some cheap magnetic charging cables and cut some of the plastic off them so they would work with my phone's case on. The magnets are weak and it s a pain to get them attached but of charges quite fast.
I was hoping that the Z3 would come out of the gate with wireless charging. In a statement made a few months back, they stated they would have Qi charging by the end of this year.
Hopefully the Z4 will have it. They also need to put 32 GB of internal storage in their phones.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
If someone made a QI charging case, I'd be willing to pay for it, as long as it looked good enough!
might be worth testing out to see if the WCR14 connector and charging type works on a Z2. i can see the connector alone makes the phone look much bigger.
Why sony decided to put a magnetic charge on the side is beyond me.
Did anybody get any where with this? I am thinking about getting one of the coils on ebay for the samsungs and modifying it, they look very slimline as I suppose they are design to fit behind the battery cover?
I am planning to have it sit inside a TPU case I have. The difficult part will be the magnetic part / Soldering....etc
How long will it take till someone starts selling this simple plastic piece on ebay? I have a z2 tablet with charging dock dk39 and I don't want to buy dk48. They are the same thing except that plastic part which is already made as interchangeable. So why it is not available anywhere yet? I wish I had a 3D printer...
I'd like to know as well, same issue here with the DK39.
You can purchase those fake dk-48 from ebay. It comes with the adaptor.. Whether it fits or not is another question.

How long will it take till someone starts selling this simple plastic piece on ebay? I have a z2 tablet with charging dock dk39 and I don't want to buy dk48. They are the same thing except that plastic part which is already made as interchangeable. So why it is not available anywhere yet? I wish I had a 3D printer...

Some updates from the dk-48 I bought from ebay. It comes with 34A, 34B (most width), 45A (least width) and 45B.
I use 34B with casing and 45A without casing.
Guys I figured out a way to make the DK39 work for the Z3: just take the included adapter, flip it upside down and lay it over the back and top of the slot. The connection isn't perfect but it is stable enough to get a charge for the Z3.
Just got my dk48 today. Has anyone done any charge tests to see how long it takes to charge using that than the usual plug in charger?
