anyone know if this:
http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-smartphone-car-holder-spa-ck20m
will work with the z1 compact? I can only find this model on this website, and not the sony website. are there any good car docks for the z1 compact? I want to leave my razr m, but i use my phone in the car alot and need a good car solution.
thanks
so with a little bit more research I've found the SPA-CK20M a couple other places. Here's my question about the z1 compact. Is there a car mode built into the sony android? And does any car dock out there automaically enable the car mode? I really like how my raazr m (and my old moto defy) automatically went into the car mode when connected to the dock.
Also, it would be great if there was a dock that was compatible with the magnetic power cord like the dk32 desktop dock.

Hi like usual I am on a hunt for my ideal phone. I want it to be able to connect to a TV and use OTG so I can use it as a games console and to watch films when I am away from my PC. Also I would love it to have a forward facing camera and decent battery life but I know battery life is a lot to ask for and I will settle with carrying a spare battery or buying a giant extended battery.
I am having problems finding something affordable and an all round phone that has these features.
Interestingly I found out that most of the Sony phones released around 2011 have hdmi and also otg (it might need a module installed).
But I know the sony phones cannot use third party headphones as they have a slightly different plug which I will probably find very irritating.
So far I am considering these:
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo/Neo V (HDMI)
Motorola Atrix/Atrix 2 (HDMI)
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (MHL)
I am finding it hard to decide and would love it if I had more choice. I would just save up and get a Nexus 4 but I am a bit pissed off that it does not have MHL but Slimport and so far there is not an adaptor that will give me both a hdmi output and also OTG USB plug with Slimport..
So anyone know anymore phones that I can get that have OTG and MHL/HDMI? They need to be around £50-100 second hand.
Many thanks!

Hi, I recently got the Xperia M2 having swapped back to android after a year playing with windows phone with a Nokia.
anyway the feature i found really usfull with the nokia was the wireless charging so i sent off for a micro usb qi receiver to try get the M2 working with my existing qi charger. i know the charging pad works and i know the receiver works. when its plugged into an old htc phone it charges fine and even works on a mp3 player so both pad and charger are ok but it refuses to work when plugged into the m2, anyone have any ideas?
Hi guys,
Was Just wondering if you could enlighten me with this little question. I was wondering if it is just alright to use my old Xperia X8 and Xperia Go chargers and cables on my new Xperia M2 Aqua. I haven't had the chance to compare the specs of the cargers yet, but I suppose they might be similar, but I will check later when I get off work and post them here.
I just want to make sure of this because, when I was still using my Xperia Go, I used to always use the old charger from my Xperia X8, it was charging fine. But this one time I forgot my X8 charger at the office and I was forced to used the one that came with the Xperia Go. Then I noticed how faster it was charing with the charger that it came with compare to the old X8 charger I was using for almost a year.
Anybody any ideas or suggestions? Oh and, btw, the old X8 cable has some rust on the regular USB side, could that be a factor why my Xperia Go was charging slower?
Would appreciate any help. TIA!

Hi,
As a rule, you can just about use any charger or cable on any Android device if the connections are the same. But Charger specs and cable quality and shape will play a factor in charge times. You can get apps and widgets on Play store that monitor the current going to your device if you want to visually see what chargers and cords work best that you own. But generally just seeing how long they take to charge is a good indication.
If you want other opinions or have any future questions on your device, please use this section to ask or help...

Good luck!

Z2 and Z3 are almost same. But the z1 is thicker and battery is not as well as z3, so wont I have any internal problems if I use z1s dock?
The dock is designed for all the Z devices from what I can tell, as you get spacers for different sized devices, I have mine with no spacers So I don't have to take off the phone protector.

Hi All
Had my Xperia Z5 for a couple of days and of course the cable that comes with it is quite short. I have heard that Sony phones can be fussy on cables (not sure how). Can anyone recommend a 2m+ cable, I've seen the Aukey cable (linked below) but not sure if this will be ok with the phone.

People will probably say "fussy" do to charging speed but it'll be because of poor quality cables, so as long as you buy a known decent brand you should be fine

Hi You can use cable of Mi ( ie xioami ) it is high quality cable which is fully compatible with Sony z5. You can buy it from ebay. Its length is 46 inch where as length of sony data cable is only 38.5 inch. Only high speed data cables are compatible with sony. You want cable 2m+ and i dont think any mobile company make such a long cable for charging phone . Obviously you have to buy it from 3rd party seller and the link which you shared on this thread is high speed cable which is compatible with branded phones. The only difficulty that you can face is , it can be slightly loose than its original cable.
I bought this one almost two years ago.

Works just fine with Z5, as well as with Z2 and Dualshock 4.
