Or do you think the z3 would fit?

The Z3C should fit. The are almost the exact same dimensions.

The z3 is 0,9mm thinner. Maybe it won't be fixed completely or the magnet isn't right aligned..

Waiting for my Z3c to arrive after being a HTC user for a while but I have been using this dock in my car, goes into the cd player - Mountek nGroove Snap 2

I have a case on my phone with the small magnet that comes included (along with 2 other larger sized magnets for tablets or for an even better, stronger connection) in the package attached on the inside of the case so you can't see it. Very convenient for me to hop into the car and just put my phone on it. The HTC one is a heavy phone and it has never fallen off, even going over bumps or rougher terrain. It does slide down a little sometimes, but can just push it back up a little.

I'd recommend that to you guys.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Hjbotha:
That is so weird. Doesn't the CD player object to having a thing inserted that it can't spin?

Still, CD players are redundant, so it makes sense. That seems like a nice system, assuming the slot is high up on the dash.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] simpsoj:
It doesn't go that far into the slot to trouble the spindle or any moving parts.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] NRG1975:
Put an extra layer of padding on the back, and you are all set.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] JumpingShadow:
That one looks great for the charging part but I'm a little concerned... do you have to SCREW it to your car?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] wooki:
I've ordered it yesterday. I'm going to test and report.

And no, no screws. They sell the "fixing part" separate from the phone mount. You can choose between suction cup etc.

This way you only have to buy a new phone mount, if you get a new phone.

Sadly they're very expensive compared to cheap universal mounts :(

Looks like that Z1C mount is the same as the Proclip.

Looks like I don't have the posts to post a link though.

When you mentioned it's 2 part it reminded me of my Proclip I had for my iPhone before so I checked and it's the same picture.

is there a dock out there that automatically brings up car mode? My razr m and old defy both had docks that had a magnet or something that auto launched the car mode.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Scottland:
Just get an NFC sticker to get the same thing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] sublimnl:
Or just use Tasker. Mine goes to car mode when connected to my car's Bluetooth and plugged into the charger.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] tronjojo:
i have my my razr m turn the bluetooth on when it detects car mode. I guess i'll have to just either go the nfc or tasker route. what do you think would drain the battery more on an z3 compact; leaving nfc on or bluetooth all the time?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] sublimnl:
I would think bt would drain more but it's so negligible I wouldn't worry about it. Especially on this phone considering it's incredible battery life.

DK32/48 as car mount

Hello,

coming from an Xperia Acro S, which had a more stable dock with the phone in vertical position.

I used this dock as a "car mount" and clued it to the car dashboard.

Now, with the new Xperia devices in landscape mode and magnetic dock.... Would it be possible to do the same thing? I don't know if the dock is stable enough to hold the phone in position, without curing in the car.

Thanks for help.

Doerri
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] twistedh:
I use car dashdroid. Very nice, simple car mode where I can add my favourite apps (waze, spotify, tomtom) as well as seeing my speed or small album information. It can also be set to launch once connected to the cars bluetooth and to keep the screen on etc...

Once I get in my car, attach to dock and turn on car, everything starts up auto - very convenient.

Brodit Z3 Compact mount - only weeks away

Hi all,

Great thread, thanks to all posters so far. Been looking to get a Z3C but not without a solid, reliable charging car mount.

Specifically replying to those who've mentioned the Brodit active mount for Z1 Compact, because it's very close in size.

I thought I'd try to get some answers, so yesterday evening I emailed Brodit, and Clove.co.uk who are a retailer stocking all the Brodit gear, and also did some very thorough reviews of the Xperias. Worth a watch if you haven't yet decided to buy one!

Both responded pretty much first thing this morning (Monday 13 October), top marks for service all round. I asked both whether the Z1C mount (512597) would suffice, and/or if there were plans for a Z3C version.

Lars Dufva, of Brodit AB, said:

"I can gladly inform you that we have just started the work with this new unit.

We probably need two weeks before launching."

Clove Sales team said:

"The Z1 Compact holder will work, but it is not the smoothest of fits.

For the sake of what will hopefully be a few weeks we would advise waiting for the Z3 Compact specific holder."

That's that then!

I'll be buying the Brodit active holder in a few weeks then. I've not owned one before but friends have - they are really nice, pro looking, and really solid when set up right.

Cheers all,

Will.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Crewville96:
I like the charging dock on the Brodit mount, how the hell does it attach to your car though? I don't see a suction cup or anything. I looked at their site, and they mentioned some clip.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] wpparsons:
Brodit proclip

You first need to buy the "proclip" specifically for your car. You get a few options - one that clips around an air vent, or one that mounts in the center console... . there might be others. It looks like a tight fit, making use of seams/gaps in the dash and around the vents.

Examples: I'm new here so can't post links yet, but Google "Brodit ProClip" and you should see some.

Once you have that, you also buy the mount for your phone/tablet model, either passive (no charging) or active (with cigarette plug). There are even kits with wires to take a power feed from behind the dash, if you want to keep your 12V socket for something else (or just tidier).

For me, they're great because they keep the windscreen clear and the phone closer to hand. Especially with such massive dashboards in modern cars, for me it can be quite a long way to reach to the suction cup.

What I don't know is whether the Sony magnetic charging thing will also enable car mode - I'll let you know when I get one - but like others have said you could use NFC or Tasker. Personally I use Llama for location/situation based configs.

Will.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] NickR:
This is my mount, you'll see from second photo the proclip is attached to the vent surround at the bottom and uses double sided tape at top. The mount is then screwed to proclip. Depends what car you have, look on Brodit.com there will be a clip for your car.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] v0n:
Trouble with Brodit is that

1) you are stuck with permanent mount in one place in one car, sooner or later you will wish you could use it in different place around your car, in a rental, second or friends car

2) most Brodit active mounts are exact fit and can't be adjusted to accommodate cases or bumpers. I don't suppose Z1/Z3 cases are any different.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] heavyhms:
The best solution is to use a Brodit mount on your car, with the adapter to swap different proclip on the fly (if you have different phones). To hold Z1 compact and now z3 compact I have modified a old Nokia n8 car holder to connect with Brodit mount ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Crewville96:

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] madsb:
I have been using a cheap Ebay model identical to http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-C...0268?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item2342d5250c for both my Z3C and the Z1C before it.

Pros:

- VERY cheap

- Can hold the phone without blocking access to the buttons or the magnetic charging jack. Blocks the USB port, but I am not using that anyway to avoid compromising long term water resistance

- Works with the Case mate tough covers I have been using

- Strong tight vacuum cup that keeps it on the front window. I have only experienced one incident where it detached in more than a year of use and i think that may have been an error on my part.

Cons:

- Doesn't charge the phone, so you will have to find a separate solution (cable) for that.

- Short arm which may be an issue in some cars

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] HIcycles:
Right now, I'm using the Trip+ from logitech. It's a simple clip you place on your vent, and then place a metal plate to your phone. Discreet once the case is on. (yes, you stick the metal square to your phone directly). The magnets are strong and keep your phone in place. I know a lot of people have trouble locating a vent due to physical design of the vent, but if you can get it to work, you're good.

I have 2008 fit, and the only vents I can use are the smaller ones near the door. The trick is to set the vent up vertically.

Brodit Active Holder mounted to the windscreen

Let me tell you about my solution. Here is what I bought:

1. Brodit Active Holder Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (from clove.co.uk):

View attachment 3075272

2. Herbert Richter Swivel Neck Suction Mount 6 Drehbarer Saugnapf-Halter mit Kugelgelenk (Größe 93mm x 70mm x 70mm) (from amazon de)

View attachment 3075280

3. Adapter to attach Brodit Holder to Hebert Richter windscreen mount ("Schraubadapter Adapter für Brodit Gerätehalter HR 1635 für Herbert Richter Halter fuer 4-Loch Schalen" from amazon de)

View attachment 3075273

This was great, except there were no nuts and bolts to attach the adapter from no.3 to Brodit Holder. Fortunately, I had some at home (took from a kid's metal constructor). The second problem was that the cable was too short. First of all, I was thinking of buying an extension cable. But I didn't like the idea of stacking cig plugs one to another. Then I was thinking of replacing the cable by a longer one (keeping in mind possible soldering). For some reason I also didn't choose that as well. The most flexible idea was to put micro-usb female connector instead of a nondetachable cable, and then be able to plug whatever cable you want (I also had a micro usb charger already, so I liked this idea). And as such, I decided to buy a female micro-usb connector. But soon I met a problem: how would I attach the connector, if it doesn't have a case (I wasn't able find one with a case). I spent some time until I found this adapter (Micro USB female to Mini USB male):

View attachment 3075274

I thought, I would be able to detach the female micro usb connector taking a part of the case. And I was lucky: when I disassembled the connector, the cables inside were potted by semi-transparent soft white plastic. And it fit nearly perfect inside the Brodit Holder. So, all I had to do is detach the old cable from the Holder and attach the micro usb connector instead. First of all, I found "+" and "-", and removed the data cables, and then I soldered the cables to the corresponding pins on the Bordit Holder.

That's it, now I can change or detach the cable from Brodit, but mainly I can attach it without problems to the windscreen. :) If anyone is interested, I can take a picture of what I have.

And it's essentially worthless for the Z3. Maybe worse than useless, if you were to use it & trust it. The glass backing seems perfect to stick to these suction cups, but it's so smooth, the thing gradually slides right down until it falls off. No matter what position I tried...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] FSRBIKER:
I have used the same mount I created since I owned an HTC Thunderbolt. What I did was take a windshield suction cup mount that had a 6" or so flexible arm on it that I bought from Ebay years ago and epoxied a Seidio holster to it. So the Seidio holster faces me and it's very simple to just push the phone into with one hand, phone faces me instead of in towards the holster.

If you use a case for your z3 compact i suggest this. The piece of metal used to attract the magnetic holder can either be glued on or left inside the case.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eTriix:
Hi to all,

Three months ago I bought a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210). At first it went well, but after a month more or less, battery started doing weird things. It doesn't last too much, about two days with only 45min of screen and if I shut down the device for example with a 60% of battery, when I turn on again after some hours, the percentage decrease to a 50% or less. Is it normal or my battery is faulty?

Would it be ok if I change the battery? or is this normal?

Thank you and regards.

Hi!

I've been working on a few different game mods over the past few months, and seem to have hit a dead end with particular files.

Namely, a resources.pak file, which I know is a packaged update for the game I am working on. I cannot seem to find anything that will unpack or decompress the file!?

There are a lot of tools out there for .pak files, but all seem to be for Quake Mods, and have specific formats which they expect the .pak file to be in. All of which I have tried have been unable to open / unpack or decompress this file :(

Has anyone else come across these files? or had any better luck than me in their attempts to get inside the package file??

The .pak file I am trying to unpack can be found at www . dcuonline . co . uk / so / resources.pak (Sorry for the hack, the file is too big to attach, and I don't have enough posts to link directly :( )

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

Anyone using x-series from 3 UK on their universal. If so what are the settings for the internet and how does skype work on 3 ? Do you just download Skype for Mobile?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] salmon:
Hi Samsul,

As far as i know, Skype on x-series is a different proposition altogether from Skype for Windows Mobile. The two applications are different. Skype on x-series works over the GSM network so you can make and receive Skype calls anywhere in return for a small monthly fee to 3 (i think it's £5?). Skype for WM on the other hand works for free over WiFi (like the PC version) or over a 3G cellular connection if you have one (beware using it on 3G without an unlimited data plan though). You can download Skype for WM free directly from the Skype website.

I don't believe the x-series application would execute on the Universal as i imagine it was designed specifically for Symbian OS but i may be wrong. Let me know if you find otherwise ;)

Hope that helps.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
You would have been able to do this before as 3 allows full access now, the thing to be careful of, is do the applications on the X Series use a special proxy to differentiate between the plan you have purchased, and full open internet access.

Be careful.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] samsul:
I was able to use Skype before 3 activated x series, but I wasn't able to browse the internet apart from mobile.three.co.uk.

Everytime I typed in a web address (ie news.bbc.co.uk), I used to get the message ' You can only use this service on a 3 handset' or something similar to this. Now all websites work fine.

Also, if I was being charged for data, would this show up on 'Amount Spend' section of My 3? Anyone know?
