I guess you ordered another Z dock without a removable back plate (it's not the two small plastic pieces but a wide plate, removing of which would allow charging an Xperia Z with a case on).

You should either get the proper cheap case (e.g. on ebay -> search for "Fit Case Stand Desktop Charger Cradle Dock Station Holder For Sony Xperia Z L36h") or do as Arzenik did with the dock and the case (a very nice idea IMO)

Good luck!

Edit: Apparently on ebay.com this search won't bring you to the right seller so one should do the search in ebay.co.uk with the string "Fit Case Stand Desktop Charger Cradle Dock Station Holder For Sony Xperia Z L36h"

I'm still not allowed to post links here :(

Sync Data Charging Dock Cradle Desktop Charger For Sony Xperia Z L36h S3

seller: sunsmile*2013
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] CAGED:
bought from ebay, japanese version made for xperia VL(japanese carrier KDDI version of V)

well it's not so good looking as ones for z or z1 but it's good to have one.

few months ago my xperia v's usb port cover was detached and i had to order part and fix it my self due to the fact that sony is not selling their phones at my country and i ordered my xperia from hongkong..

but after buying DK25 i'm pretty satisfied because using dock makes me no needs for opening usb port cover to charge my phone.

one thing annoying is that it's very hard to open audio port cover(at least with your fingers and fingernails) while docked.

so I have to open the cover first before docking phone to the dock every time i want to dock my phone and use wired headphone.

made of plastic so it's very light, good for carrying..

wish V has a magnetic charging cable buddy.

back cover

hi, not sure if i can post this here... if it's not allowed, please let me know...

i have replacement back cover in BLUE color to let go (my relative bought it for me from oversea) - this is the one replacing your original back cover, not those case that you put on top of your back cover.

it looks like it's waterproof, judging from the red rubber lining on the inside of the back cover, but not sure if it really is as i never tried it....

it looks exactly like below pictures (ignore the chinese wording as i took the picture from internet)

Hi guys, thanks for good info. I got the dock with my phone a while back, seems like living in south Africa has its perks...

So the dock works great for easy charging at night and that's about it. I however want to build a second one for in car use but...

If I charge with the metal contacts on the side, would my usb otg work normally as I want to charge it while using a usb memory stick? (my sd card is just not enough)

I will use a plastic casing and add a mounting bracket and pogo pins to that(thanks for the idea). Has anyone tried using the contacts and the usb at the same time?

Maybe a bit late to ask, but does anyone know about cheap replicas of the Xperia V dock (Sony DK25)?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ello911:
You can use the dock for the xperia Z, which has a detachable spacer so the Z can fit with a bumper case around.

If you remove the spacer the V fits in if you align it to the right side.

You have to buy the dock with the spacer, otherwise the V does not fit in.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasedo73:
I was searching for a quite long time, but I haven't found any satisfying answer. I want to send files between any device with WiFi Direct and computer. What I'm expecting?

For example - if I have two Note 10.1 - I can send / receive files without any wireless network - just between those devices.

I want to be able to send files between tablet and computer without using any network, any router. I don't want those devices to be connected into the same network. I want to send those files directly from device to device.

If I will need special WiFi card - please give me some hint.

If my expectation haven't been clearly explained - I will try once more.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but you should check out 'WiFi File Explorer' in the Play Store. It sets up an IP address that you can access with any browser (Windows 7 computer or another tablet) and access your files. I do believe you have to have root, but I've used it with my GSIII and my computer and it works great for transfering files, managing files and deleting or renaming files/folders. fwiw

NVM, I just tried this with my note and you do have to be on a wireless network for this to work, sorry, not what you were looking for I guess. :(

WIDI has not been properly implemented yet in both android and hardware yet, some devices are certified but some are on older versions and there is no software out there yet to take advantage of it. (that I am aware of ).

Samsung have partially implemented it using allshare and allshare cast, neither will do what you want. I dont think this will be working properly until the Galaxy S4 or even 5.

Hi I actually struggle to explore Wifi direct between my note 10.1 (JB), to an Asus laptop.

I installed the Intel Mywifi dashboard 15.1.1s64 (a version accepted by the latest Intel wifi driver Wireless_15.1.1_s64).

It can install it only if our chipset accept it : intel centrino range.

have a look over the downloadcenter.intel.com

As for me, I can "see" my devices, and I can use my laptop as a hotspot (fine !) just as connecitfy does, but Sharing files is impossible.

I should have an icon ...but nothing !

I have changed my firewall settings, but NO way.

It seems it's a problem of security settings, for sometimes it has displayed a kind of message : 'sharing impossible, ...'.

If anyone has a clue !

NB: WIFI DIrect works fine betwwen 2 samsung devices for long (2 years; they were the first) when my Asus transformer TF101 is still stucked in a Widi native, not working in ad-hoc. I tried with REceive wifi app, or other wifi direct apps..

Stay in touch !
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
it sounds to me like you are trying to create a network using widi, I don't think this is actually possible yet. I was under the impression you could only push files from one device to another, i.e there will be an option when you click send to send via WIDI in the same way you would by bluetooth.

Wifi Direct != WiDi

It's driving me nuts with all the talk of WiDi on here...Wifi Direct is completely different than WiDi. WiDi is Wireless Display. (just search for WIDI, and read up on it please)

I only found this forum because I was actually looking for how to connect my computer and phone using the WiFi Direct function on my phone. It seems like it should just be as easy as making the two devices see each other. I have the Note 2, and a Win7/64 laptop. They are both running on my 5Ghz network, which from my understanding shouldn't matter since they should be setting up an ad-hoc network between the two.

So far I've tried to create an ad-hoc network on my computer, but my phone won't see it. I've tried just scanning from the Note by just opening the wifi direct app and letting it search and by trying to find the new AD-Hoc connection on my PC. I've tried finding my phone on my network with my PC, but it won't connect the two. Just show me there are devices there on the network. I really wish Samsung would jump out in front of this one and give some more directions on how to use this feature they are pushing.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedi134:
I think I know what you mean.

WiFi direct will give you a different ip address separate from ur normal WiFi router. Try setting up your Windows pc WiFi to the same ip range and subnet....you can find the ip address by long clicking on the WiFi connection in settings while its connected to the other device, or use an app called fring, and scan the connected network for the ip addy.

My Samsung tv calls WiFi direct SML (samsung media link)

The link password protected using wps.

Wps is hackable I belive, so in theory u should be able to get the WiFi direct password...

My Samsung tv wifidirect/SML calls its signal sec link xxxx, I can connect to this with my GN..but cant do anything else.

My thoughts are Samsung are purposly restricting the full potentional of this untill a later date,....every thing Seems to be there for it to work, but they are not ready to free it up.

They make money so far from you buying add on devices like allcast dongle. Which should not be needed as you have wifidirect/SML.

No doubt this will be a great selling point on the new Samsung ranges

For ICS Android..

Actually there is a way to transfer data without using another router point..

As far as I know, WiFi Direct is the same as using Android Portable Hotspot, BUT with much less configuration needed

(you can read it on wikipedia)

What you need to do is turn on your android portable hotspot (connect your laptop), then use samba filesharing (you can download it from market)

And you can access you android data without a cable, just type your samba IP address on your "my computer" (192.168.x.xxx)

DONE..

What i don't understand is, it can never worked on Jelly Bean.

an answer

HI. Finally, using pure Wifi Direct as file sharing, between an android (ICS, for it diseappears strangly in JB 4.2.2), and a Windows 7 is NOT POSSIBLE. We can use the PC as hotspot (wifi router) easyly but that 's all.

The best tool I found to share files wireless and faster than Bluetooth (still the more common way to share small files),

IS an APP called MyPhone Explorer, free on the Market. More than just sharing files it offres :

* file sending by just slinding files from the MPE window to the Explorer

* synchro Outlook agenda, contacts in any way you want

* monitoring T° a,d memory

* sending / receiving SMS, Calls,

* unsing your PC keyboard to type on your phone / tablet (is ti usefull ?)

I found it stable, fast, usefull. But real wifi direct compatibility as Bluetooth is not a main goal for any free ord private developper.

Even NFC sharing spreading in many phones uses...bluetooth.

Only Samsung as realized a mature protocol for Wifi Direct...but working just between Samsung phones/tab !

Because I am musician, whan friends asks what brand to choose for buying a tablet, I advise to buy samsung ones : Wifi direct allows us to share music sheets, booklets, mp3 in order to work music pieces at home. Sorry for the others tablet manufacturers ! I love Asus ones, lenovo's good ones...but the software, and compatiblity is more important now,.

Sorry to be long, with a poor international english speaking !
