Just ordered a black one from unlocked-mobiles.com. I was a little concerned when I tried calling them and they didn't answer the phone. Still, took the plunge as I really want one. It's supposedly next day delivery (had no choice to get a cheaper shipping option), so I'll update if it arrives tomorrow.

I haven't even got the phone yet but since everywhere else is sold out I figured why not?

I've noticed that Expansys are expecting stock in a couple of days but does anyone know why they're charging a stupid £43? That's a mental £20 markup!

Heh, they told me it had sold out earlier today, not over the weekend. Looks to have gone to sold out status shortly after I placed my order.

They contacted me to offer a refund if I wasn't willing to wait but since it's sold out everywhere and it was a good price, I've kept my order. I have no choice but to wait or pay through the nose. I'd rather wait!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
Yes cable not included this was said in the first articles about the dock as well.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2001uk:
I don't see why anyone would get mad about that - it uses the usb cable that you were already using anyway. It's not like micro usb cables are expensive either.

I think people thought by buying a dock they would now have 2 chargers, one for work and a dock for home, but nope, the dock plugs into your charger.

Just got an Email saying my Dock has been dispatched, just after I spent the Money for it!!! But it was after 3 so I'm assuming it will come out of My account tomorrow anyway, if Not I will complain that you can't send me something in the afternoon so you shouldn't be charging me from then!

ask for dk26 Pinout

Hello

I'm looking for the pinout of dk26

The dock is only for charging, so with the right pinout

I could make a dock out of nice wood

Maybe someone could measure the output of the pins

Thanks

Nochmal auf deutsch :

Falls jemand so ein dock hat (o2 hat ja leider keins mitgeliefert) , könnte derjenige dann mal die Kontakte durchmessen?

Also die Polung - Spannung wird vermutlich 5Volt sein.

Dann baue ich mir selbst eins.

Hab noch schönes Holz im Keller.

Danke im Voraus

Dock buzzing when the Xperia Z in connected

Hi all!

Yesterday I received my white dock and I noticed that when I connect the Xperia into the dock it makes a buzzing noise. It's quite annoying as I have it in the room where I sleep and it's like there was a bee in there.

Is anyone having the same problem? I don't think it's normal, but it may be happening to more people.

Thanks for your help!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Except that the port doesn't extend the MHL USB port, it's just for charging, so it's not really interesting...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
No noise here, check to connection to see if you put in the cable all the way. Most of the time these buzzing noises are caused by internal connector problems though. Haven't see anyone complaining about a buzzing noise though.

P.S. posting this thing twice won't help you faster, it will just cause irritations.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
Frustrated that I ordered via Amazon (paying £29.99 but with free delivery) and nothing has shown up in over a week after it was shown as dispatched.

Have contacted the seller and it was supposedly sent first class, but with no tracking.

I have to say I'm a little suspicious now that maybe they didn't have stock - as I get a lot of things delivered by Royal Mail here (in fact, I've had a delivery both today and yesterday from the same postman that I know pretty well) and have never had anything go missing - at least that I know of!

The frustrating thing is that they're likely to claim I have to wait a set time to see if it turns up, even though a failed delivery isn't really my problem. They should really send another and I can sign a declaration that the other one never arrived, and let them claim their postage and any other compensation back in their own time.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Can you even send something using Royal Mail 1st class without tracking ? I thought they track every 1st class package. Not to mention i've never had any problems with RM so something's definitely not right here.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
Yes you can send packages without tracking first class, but it's a rather silly thing to do in my opinion - unless, of course, you haven't actually sent it!

But, assuming it did, I expect the company will have worked out that standard compensation is around £25 (well, it was many years ago when I last made a claim - so it may be higher now) thus it could skip recorded/special delivery and that would be enough to cover the cost of the item if lost.

No good to me though, as I've been told that Royal Mail wants around a month before they'll even consider something as lost. Is it fair that a customer is made to wait this long for something they've already been charged for?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Of course it's not. Try demanding a refund or file a complaint, maybe it'll motivate them to at least track their packages :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searley:
First class is not tracked in anyway. First class is not guaranteed next day delivery, on packets and parcels RM state you should have it within 3 working days but will not be considered lost for 15 working days.. At which point then sender can make an insurance claim for up to £36

Recorded delivery just proves an it has been delivered and who signed for it

Special delivery is the tracked services with next working day delivery

Special delivery costs the most' probably about £8 for the dock, most customers simply choose the cheapest shipping option when making a purchase and don't consider paying extra

Also many eBay type seller will ship first class when they are selling stuff with free p&p as the cost of special delivery would be more than the profit they make

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

You will find a seller legally has 30 days to get an item to you unless they advise you it will be longer (EU distance selling directive)

If he has shipped the item he has the right to wait until the item is confirmed lost (15 working days for 1st class) at which time he can send another, or issue a refund

If he sends a replacement before its confirmed lost he could lose out, as the second item could still arrive, then he can't claim for it.

And I have had parcels that have turned up 12 days after postage
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
On that basis, I am not going to order from any seller that doesn't send via some kind of trackable delivery method. This was Amazon, but not fulfilled by Amazon - another thing that means I doubt I'll buy from any other merchant like this. I had no option to select special delivery, nor any of the methods I enjoy as a Prime user when dealing with a company that uses Amazon as a fulfillment house.

I was charged £29.99 in total, which appears to be £5 over the SRP anyway. I think I am going to order elsewhere and if/when it does arrive, will return it immediately for a full refund. However, I'm still unconvinced this retailer actually had stock now (given the shortage everywhere else) and believe it hasn't been sent - but of course I can't prove that can I!! Of course, if it DOES arrive, checking the date on the packet will confirm my suspicions!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] searley:
Just don't open the item packaging when it arrives and you have the legal right to return it for 7 days for a full refund

You can send it first class just ask the PO to provide proof of posting and this is enough to make a claim if lost

Got my dock from handtech today, ordered at the end of March.

I have to say the dock combined with the Sony MW1 Bluetooth headset completes the Xperia Z setup, the phone now has its flaps closed full time and is always ready.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
Sony seems to have been caught out with the demand for this dock, going by the number of retailers now out of stock - and those on Amazon that do have stock bumping up prices to £39.99, £49.99 and even £123 from one place.

In my case, I've been offered a refund if I want it and they'll claim from the Royal Mail. They've told me they can't send another one as they have no stock, but I can't order one from anywhere else either - while in my local Sony Centre, it seems it could be many weeks before they get stock of the dock and also the phone!

(Off topic, I hope this is going to show that Sony has had some big success with the Xperia Z).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Unfortunately it looks like some people buy those docks in large quantities and sell them off on ebay / amazon for 50+ quid... still can't find it anywhere for normal price, and I really prefer to just wait that to pay almost 200% retail price.
