[Xperia Z3 Accessories] sygys:
It wont... because the magnetic charge connector on the Xperia Z3 can only receive power and cannot communicate. So there is no way it can detect if a magnetic charger is connected or a Qi chargepad.

Im searching the web for weeks now trying to find a bumper for my Z3 with Qi over magnetic connectors. I dont understand why companies did not come up with that allready. It wouldnt add any more thickness to the bumper, and you could easily charge 1000 mAh. In wich the Phone will charge in 3 to 4 hours i guess. Thats great when charging over night.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Bäcker:
I see were you are comming from. The culprit is the QI charging pad output, so you are still left with that low current.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wailoon:
Seriously I love the idea of wireless charging, but I really dont like the flip case design.

Unlike the previous sony original flip case for Z2, Z1, T3, etc...

Those flip case is same size as the phone, but this Z3 Qi wireless charger flip case is bigger than the phone.

Which make the phone looks ugly after put on this case.

I thought want to remove the leather flip thingy and left the plastic Qi charger back case.

Anyone got idea how to do that??
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
I wanted that but there is no magnetic locking of the front cover.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] rideoutthetide:
So I purchased the WCR-14 from Mobile Fun hoping that it would provide the Qi charging solution I was looking for...

It arrived on Wednesday and I was very disappointed. It is a huge, bulky case that does not magnetically attach, does not wake the phone and greatly increases the phone size. I put it on and sighed.

THEN I TOOK OUT A BUTTER KNIFE. The plastic cover comes off very easily and the glue on the back can be rinsed off with a little soap and elbow grease. Voila...I now have a relatively thin, clean looking QI charging case and am very pleased with the purchase. It protects the back well (obviously) and the sides/corners. The sides of the case are basically flush with the phone screen so I ordered a Tempered Glass protector to give the screen some extra coverage.

See pictures attached! Let me know if you have any questions!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] OregonLawyer:
That is pretty awesome. I just wish that case was cheaper / readily available in the US.

Has anyone seen any receivers that use the magentic port? there are a ton that use microusb, but any that use the magentic port?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] bighuta:
I'm sure some will come out on Amazon/ebay early 2015. The question is how reliable will they be?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] spenzalii:
Interesting rideoutthetide. I wonder if you could just add that Qi charging case to another, better fitting flip cover (or better yet, Sony's smart flip cover)

any news on slimmer Qi-cases for the Z 3?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] thasan:
Qi Case

I did like [MENTION=6166621]rideoutthetide[/MENTION]. It is much easier to use now. Hope a slim one comes out. I bought mine on Amazon.Com but the price has since gone up quite a bit. I paid $58 about 3-4 months ago. Now, it is $70 or so.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] thompssc:
I'm actually working on a Qi case right now. Got some engineers designing it and they've sent me the 3d models, attached. Curious to know what you guys think.

I started this while thing after my Nexus 4 broke and I bought the Z3. Hadn't done my research and thought it had Qi, and I can't go back to wired charging after using Qi. Especially with the stupid door over the charging port. I really like the phone and don't want to sell it for another Qi enabled phone, and figured there had to be other folks in the same boat. Now that its moving along and I should have a prototype soon, I wanted to get some feedback. Is this something there is interest in pursuing further?

The case uses the magnetic port for charging, and maintains the magnetism of the dock so that you can still use it with a PS4 controller.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] sgiannouris:
It seems to make the phone a lot bulkier, but apparently this can't be avoided, so if we want Qi charging then we would have to eat this :(

Interesting though, I would definitely get one if this is produced eventually. I REALLY, REALLY want wireless charging and I too am not changing it for this feature alone.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] charlatan01:
Looks nifty. Depending on price (and I am flexible on that), I'd definitely go for it.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Hussain_Salam:
The case is way too thick, Why not make a dock connection that allows Qi
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] nic85:
which is the fastest way to charge the phone? it's disappointing to wait more than 3 hours!!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Lexicarnus:
Although, A 6-8 hour charge wouldn't really matter if it was while you were sleeping though would it. I assume that most people would sleep 6-10 hours a day, depending on their schedule.

Plus I'm sure if you are doing something for an extended period of time at home or work, you could charge it on a Qi pad there. I plan to utilize a few Qi pads around my home, and am going to jerry-rig one into my car. ( more-so to be able to say I have one in my car. not so much for power charging )
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] crone_:
I am really interested in this, what is important to me tho is that the back is rubberized so the phone doesn't slide that easy, How is it going with the design and production?

Updates please!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] dboomboom:
I would definitely be a buyer. I would hope that this case would offer similar drop protection to the tech21 case. You may want to widen the headphone port because there is another hole up there that may need to be exposed.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Miles Prower:
Definitely interesting in the alternative Qi cover as well!

Sony's own offering is utterly disappointing, being a low-quality plastic enclosure with a basic $2 coil, missing even the wake function, and sold 80€ over here. What the heck.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NilsOstergren:
[EDIT] When testing the setup below again it's obvious that the Nexus 5 doesn't detect an audio sorce. It does if I use the same cables connecting the headphone output on iPad Mini to the Nexus 5.

Hi

I need to be able to use Skype in my Nexus5 with an external, phantom powered microphone. It's powered by an Apogee One sound interface that has a headphone output with 30 Ohms impedance. I have the right adapter cables to connect the headphone output with the four pin input on the Nexus 5. But the quality of the sound heard in Skype is terrible. I guess the problem is the impedance. So please advice me on what I have to by and add between the two devices? Preferably something portable and not to expensive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spinninbsod:
i have a few questions you know is there any bugs,bad battery life,or anything annoying not 100% sure whether im going to root it going to use this as my main device instead of my nexus 5 just need something that works good

thanks for your answers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Guntert:
Love my s5 from tmobile, loved it even more when I got the Samsung galaxy tab s. What a pair they make! I need to root it but don't what to trip Knndox due to fact I will be using the Samsung dongle with my appradio 2. Im happy with it, I also bought the qi pad and put the slim one in my phone. Charges great and no cords which is really important to keep water seal. Everytime u open it to charge phone makes it less of a seal. Plus it could break really easy so wireless is the only way to go. Amazon has a great selection. Hope this helps

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnibalF:
Hey all, I've been getting this problem since I updated lately.

Some times I'd get networking, calls, and all.

Others I've got to reboot the phone a random amount of times for it to work.

And then after a random period, back to unrecognized SIM card.

I've read that this is a known problem but not much more for the XT1032.

What information can I give about this issue?

What should I be looking after?

The bootloader has been unlocked. Kernel is stock. The device is rooted.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocketval:
Do you have another micro sim to try with?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnibalF:
Yes, have alread tried.

The other sims are afected the same.

Also, I've tested this sim card in other phones and they read it just fine.

I've just spraid some contact cleaner that doesn't attack plastics and going to check with a SIM again, don't think that's going to help in any way but oh well..

Any further ideas?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocketval:
Does it reboot completely (motorola boot logo) or just ask you the pin?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnibalF:
No pin ask, no simlock nor sim password on this device/sim cards..

Full motorola reboot is what I'm doing (power off, and power on), also tried rebooting into safe mode, and forced reboot.

None seemed to work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocketval:
Since calls, data etc.. work sometimes I think it's not an hardware or software issue. Has your sim been cut by yourself?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnibalF:
At first I had one I had cutted myself.

Just yesterday I received the one I orderd that came pre-cut.

This are the ones you actually get to just push out of the SIM card holder, I don't know if this is the same as before, but still sometimes work some times doesn't, yeah..

Pretty frustrating as the phone is right now in a pretty much unusable state..

May it be some kind of change if I try to flash a new ROM or some custom kernel?

I don't really want to go to the SAT.. Nor dissamble it myself really..
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocketval:
I hope somebody will help you but I don't suggest you to flash a custom rom/kernel for now.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnibalF:
[IMG="About to take it apart"]http://i.imgur.com/46bmbN1.jpg[/IMG]

Wish me luck. I've dissambled it, pulled a contact upwards with a needle, and it recognized the SIM right away.

I'm not sure if this is going to last, though.

Will keep informed about the issue for someone else having the same problem.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
So basically you've a damaged SIM slot?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnibalF:
Looking at it from the outside being the phone disambled, it didn't look like it was damaged.

However, one of the three copper contacts was laying lower than the other two, that one I pulled upwards with the help of the nail in the image until it retained a higher position.

It's promising that upon power-on it recognized the MicroSIM and is working so far.

Although, this could very well still be part of the random behaviour it was showing before.

So I ain't getting much excited, I'll see how much it lasts.

I've already voided my warranty so if this works it's time to go deeper and mod some more stuff.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layman806:
You could have simply asked for a replacement, which would have saved u the real headache
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnibalF:
Due to the phone being bought abroad it wasn't really a choice

[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] AndroidFTW11:
So I wanted a thin, lightweight cover that still added a little bit of protection and could be used as a stand and went to Amazon. I found a Wawo brand smart cover which appears to be very similar to the book cover from Samsung and it was less than $8. I've had it for about 4 days now and I'm really impressed with the quality. If you're looking to save some $ and want a nice, quality case check this bad boy out. It's also available for the 8.4 I believe as well as several other sammy tablets.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] mkha:
i broguht this wavo cover for my s tab 8.4 and it fits it fine and is great value for $12 i paid on amazon..has side protection,stylus holder...the sim slot however is covered as its for the non sim T700 version and not the simT705 version.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] rsfinsrq:
I purchased this cover when it was on sale for $3.99. (It's now $8.99) I already have the Samsung Book Cover for my 10.5 Tab, but thought I would get this just to check out (Considering the price at the time). I'm surprised at the functionality of this cover. It operates just like the OEM book cover except for the securing snaps. The magnets and folds are the same. It does add some heft but has a soft leather feel. I used it for several days then went back to the OEM Book Cover, just can't beat it! It is nice to have a decent back-up cover just in case. :D

Since I upgraded to version 4.4.4, I found that the sound quality of my audio recordings has worsened. Until recently, I had version 4.3 and my voice recordings were clear and they had good quality. I have replaced the version 4.3 system file "SoundRecorder.apk", but voice recordings sound just as bad.

Could anyone help me?

Try with Sony Audio Recorder ( search for it in the market).

It's a very good recorder, although it records only in AAC. Give it a try and see if it's rom issue or smth else

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro.

Is there anyone can help? There will have no problem after hard reset, it seems one of the programs causes this problem. But does anyone know the reason? Is it memory insufficient?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Spatzm:
I have absolutely not clue what you want here. Could you rephrase your problem again and explain it a bit more clearly please ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scott4:
when I press "New" button in order to write a new SMS (text message) of my 818pro. The content of the message is just a blank screen, I can do nothing with it except closing it. This also affects on MMS and Email.

Is there anything corrupted?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Spatzm:
This reminds me of something yes. Could you please do these things and reply with answers to my questions ?

a) How much space do you have remaining on your device (how much free ram) ?

b) Go to Start -> Settings -> Installed Software or hows it called (the place where you see what software is installed) and tell me if the list is still there. Do you see your installed programms in the list or is it empty ?

http://www.choiceway.com/content/gsi/ppc_rem9.gif

c) Can you uninstall or install new software ? Please test with some small CAB file on your device.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scott4:
Hello Spatzm,

Thanks for your reply.

a) 23.85MB RAM left

b) ce-star suite v2.8 r2a

c) yes, i can uninstall and install new software.

--> this problem exists right after I sync the data and then press soft reset button. Is this the point? because whenever I press reset button, the SMS I wrote disappear even my pda has been just done a hardreset.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scott4:
I dun think "Arabizer" is installed. Is it a program? or something about "Arab"?

Anyway, I can't find it from "Remove program". Tks.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scott4:
I hardreset my 818pro again, but never press the soft reset button, so far ---- OK!!! Why the reset button cause such problem on serveral version of ROM?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niloofari:
Arabizer is a program which enables your device to show arabic fonts.when i install it on official roms,there is no problem but when i install it on pdamobiz roms then i have a blank new sms window.as i said,after disbaling the arabizer it works again.hope it helps.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scott4:
There is no such program installed on my 818pro.

I am using AKU3.3 clean rom.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Spatzm:
Probably a ROM issue then. If you recall my reply above with the few questions. I initially had in mind that you might run into the security stuff (certification messup) issue but this is not the case.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] MikeChannon:
You have the answer right there. The registry is only written back periodically. After doing any changes you should not quickly follow up with a soft reset otherwise any new information will be lost. At the very least switch off and on again before doing a soft reset. This is not a ROM fault it is simply that writes to the registry are not carried out immediately.

If you want full details see here:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] scott4:
Hello Mike,

Thanks alot for your explaination. The data cannot be written immediately, so that should not press soft reset button right after a SMS (text msg) is written. This question is answered well.

However. My main problem is why the SMS writing page became blank and never recover until a hardreset? I had this problem after sync PIM and then pressed soft reset button.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] kekaka:
scott4, nice to meet u:) Do u come from HK?

I have the same problem before...

At that time , I used AKU2.? (forget XD) and ce-star too!!!

After hard reset for about a week.....the problem will appear again= =

SO i always reset -> blank -> reset -> blank -> loop....

until I upgrade my 818pro to 2.3, ...

and I don't use ce-star again....since it always hang= =

firstly i use monster chinese...but i found that the font is very ugly.....

so at last , i don't use monster chinese anymore, I only copy mingliu font from my winXP, and edit the registry to let my 818pro can read chinese....

Also , I download the Chinese input method from monster website, but without using monster XDDD

I don't know it's the problem of AKU? or ce-star? or just i'm very lucky.......

I want to upgrade to AKU3.3 too!!! many people say that it's very fast when you compare 3.3 to 2.3.........i wanna try it~><:D But now....I'm afraid the SMS blank problem will appear again= =XD
