German Trinity Original ROM here. The device switches the screen completely off after the amount of time I have selected. It is the same behaviour that I know from my other pocket computers and it seems completely ok. Something wrong with the Dopod ROM?

Hi, traded my trusty ol Nexus 5 for the be spoken M8 Eye. I have been a droid loyalist since the gingerbread days, have used HTC legend, desire , evo3d, galaxy notes, s4, Xperia ultra , nexus..but I swear by God this the best buy yet.

The HTC phones are sure built like strong German cars, and comparing to new iPhone 6, yes, m8 just tops it on handling and finish. The i6 feels like the older HTC one x.

Sound clarity is beautiful from the stereo speakers, SQ is there but it could have done with more loudness.

Out of box it came preloaded with KK 4.4.4 and the SenseUI is buttery smooth topped with good battery life.

Camera quality is all good, very snappy in locking focus unlike nexus5. My camera usage is very basic so not commenting much.

Happy to be part of XDA..thanks!!
[One (M8) General] KarimSalloum:
The Eye is great with the 13MP camera, I just understand why HTC omitted NFC and the Infrared port on it.
[One (M8) General] farru503:
The m8 eye is a good looking device ! I like it...but I won't trade my current m8 unless it brakes jaja if it does I might get the m8 eye
[One (M8) General] Darth:
Is the camera just more MP, or is it actually upgraded hardware wise?

Just curious. ?
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
mostly different camera, everything else should be same
[One (M8) General] LNJ:
Is it the faster AC 801 like the Asian M8 or still the AB 801?

HTC One M8
[One (M8) General] Darth:
Sorry, I meant is it different camera hardware. Or just more MP.

If it's the same hardware... Wouldn't the only improvement be you can blow the pic up a bit more.?

?
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Do you even read the specs? :D both cameras, front and back are having 13mp and few differences between both...

Gesendet von meinem HTC One_M8 mit Tapatalk
[One (M8) General] Darth:
I read it... Lol But doesn't say, new camera hardware... Way better than the old m8. ?

I'm just curious, cause they can make it a thousand mega pixels... But still need better hardware for the pics to actually be "better". Know what I mean.

Able to print or view a bigger pic, doesn't make it a better pic.

I still use an 8 MP Kodak camera, cause the pictures are awesome. And I don't need to blow them up. ?

?
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea bigger MP doesnt mean better pics... i really like the m8 cam.. bot the front and back makes such good Pictures, i don't Need any other cam...i wanted to buy like my sister a dlsr...but now i don't want to anymore because the pics are enough good
[One (M8) General] deefster:
Couldn't agree more about no need to blow up photos, and I have no interest in making posters with my camera photos. I think the pics the original m8 takes are great, but they needed to make the eye version to appease all those who felt more megapixels equals better. There are also those who swear their pics are washed out on the original, but that hasn't been my experience.
[One (M8) General] Darth:
I asked cause my wife might be interested in an M8...and was curious if I should look for an eye... But I think the original M8 is more than good enough.... For a phone camera anyway.

?
[One (M8) General] LNJ:
It's not just about quality...it's the ability to crop since we don't have optical zoom.

Let's say we only needed 30% of what's in the frame and you crop it tight to get rid of the unwanted background or foreground....your 4mp image just became a webcam resolution image that's only gonna be good for mms!

HTC One M8
[One (M8) General] Darth:
Yes, agreed.... But that's for you. Your photo needs, right. Me, I point and click... And that's all I want/expect out of my phone.

More important things, I use my camera.

And quality is pretty important... Especially for what your describing. Even with many MP, blowing up a poor quality pic is just enhancing the poor quality.

IMHO. ?
[One (M8) General] KarimSalloum:
FYI as per GSMArena specs the Eye is also missing the IR port & NFC compared to the regular M8.

Just thought I'd share this (again, see post 2) since a few people subsequently commented that the phones were identical sans the camera.
[One (M8) General] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
yea and i was just referring to the cpu and ram etc...

Finally got my hands on the Magtron's Magnector X cable and adapter for the Z3. As promised, I would do a side-to-side comparison on these. Here we go!

The two boxes. It is interesting how the boxes say "for the Z1 and Ultra", but I am guessing they all have the same magnetic connections (?).

It is nice to see MADE IN KOREA instead of MADE IN CHINA, although I hope it is true.

Taking out of its plastic box, it's all plain and simple, no text labels anywhere.

Cable and adapter. Each came in a white pouch.

Cable.

Adapter.

Cable + adapter (NSFW!!! :D).

Adapter mounted on the side of the Z3. The curve on the mounting area of the adapter makes it flow with the phone. So nice!

Close look of the adapter to show the gap. Hopefully this will help those decide on which case to buy.

Cable mounted on the side of the Z3. A close look to show the gap.

Photos showing the strong magnets. They are strong, even at 45deg tilt.

All I have to say is that these are very strong magnets! Fitment is very snug and easy on both. I would highly recommend this product to those looking for magnetic chargers to save you from opening or closing those USB flaps. The big deciding factors will depend on preferences such as portability and cases you buy for the phone.

Feel free to check out my Xperia Z3 battery life and recharge experiments thread as well for battery recharge and benchmarks.

Hope you find this helpful!

Can you please install Current Widget (free on Play Store) and report back

what charging current both items give compared to the regular charger

from shop set?

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
I'm getting variable readings for mA in Current Widget. It appears to be constant around 1089mA. This is charging with the Magnector cable and Sony charger from the outlet.

Is there a good app I can use to log timestamps, battery percentage, and current (mA)?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] awionetka:
hanime,

Current Widget can log to file timestamp, mA, %, V and centigrades.

Can you compare values from Magnetor with regular Sony charger?

thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
Sure! I'll try the logs on my new Z3 (it's currently getting exchanged due to a defective camera unit), or I can try it on my GF's Z3 if she ever gets it fully drained.

I'll update this thread when it's done.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] funky_banana:
this is a great post. was considering the magtron but guess this post have convinced me to get one :good:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] ngvuanh:
I got one and have to admit it is a must have.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
Current Widget app is not doing it for me. Can't get it to log when I checked the log box. The notification icon shows "no data" when I charged from 1-100%. Half of the time, I don't even know if the Current Widget is working because when I open the app, it goes into the configuration screen.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wutsup:
Hi, do you have the Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633)? I have that one and my camera unit was also defective. I ordered from GSM Nation and live in the US. Where did you buy yours and who is exchanging it? I wonder if I am out of luck due to me being in the US and this being an international phone.

Thanks in advance.

[MENTION=6122291]wutsup[/MENTION], this thread is about Magnector products - stop off-topic posts. Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Anyone use these for more than a week or two? I have heard reports of them failing, just want to make sure.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
I'll update if mine starts failing.

To answer your question, mine is a D6603. I bought it from an eBay seller techno.trading.house. Very good service and friendly, as they advertised hassle-free returns/exchanges. I just hope the new one coming my way is not another defective piece. It seems to be a hit and miss with this phone, any model (rolls eyes at Sony QA). I would ask GSM Nation about their exchange policy.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wah007:
Can you confirm if you connect this magnetic charger to the phone first and then connect it to the plug socket afterwards, does the phone detect the charger?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Thanks, Hanime. I will wait and see how it works out for you.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
I can confirm that putting the magnetic charger to the phone first, then connect it to the plug socket afterwards does not charge. It does not detect it. I can see this might be a bad thing when the power goes out and comes back in the middle of the night or similar case scenario. Interesting indeed.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wutsup:
thanks hanime!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] setzer715:
Hi, does this connector work with a case? I currently java a cruzerlite case. Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wah007:
Thanks for confirming this for me. I thought it was just me, that's weird it only works this way as I thought I had a faulty cable.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
I don't know as I don't use a case. However, if the case supports the holes for the magnetic port, and its thickness can give clearance, it should work just fine. Please refer to the mounted photos to see whether it clears.

Yeah, this is a very weird behavior indeed. I wonder why it does that.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] wah007:
I don't know about the connector but I do know that the Magnector X cable works with this case. I have that cable and the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] funky_banana:
i got this adaptor a few weeks back and i'm very pleased with it. heres a pic of it holding on to the phone. notice that it's still sticking on to the z3 and charging it.

that's strange to know, but let me try on mine tonight. :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] 613BulletProof:
Please let us know how it goes.

Im guessing this is a much more convenient way of charging your p hone rather than using the regular micro usb port?

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

wheres the best place to buy both of these in the states?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Requiem87:
Hello, just wanted to chime in.

I have had a magnector adapter for a few weeks, and it works OK with my Z3. The biggest downside is that it's quite unstable and easily twists off when I pick the phone up.

I also recieved a cheap magnetic charger from ebay the other day, and it is actually a lot better. The magnet sits stronger and is more stable on the phone. link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141439427668

It works on both my Z3, my SO's Z1 and a friend's Z3 compact, and the mag contact is more raised so it fits through the hole in a case where the magnector adapter doesn't fit. With the ebay cable I can pick up the phone and use it easily without the cable popping off.

That's my experience so far, hope it helps!
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
After the entire cheap chargers causing damage incidents with various phones especially with the iPhones on the news, I am bit weary about those cheap ones on eBay.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] 613BulletProof:
Yeah me too :(
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] enfurno:
The magnector works fine, it's a pain to get in place most of the time and a slight breeze will knock it off. But, it's much more convenient than opening that flap.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Im confused as some posted pictures holding their phone by the connector to show how strong the magnet is.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] enfurno:
Not possible. Unless I received one with faulty magnets or something. I can barely even slid the phone around, in face the coil tension on my cable is enough to strip it off if I don't have the phone lying in just the right position.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] funky_banana:
i just did a test and yes. if i connect the magnetic charger to the phone first and then connect it to the plug socket and turn on. it doesnt not detect and the phone wouldnt charge. this is really strange but anyway it doesnt reqlly bother me as the charger is alwwys on the socket

where did you get rhe charger? as you can see we have pictures to prove the magnetic is strong even to hold the phone. did you get the magnector x adaptor?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] enfurno:
Yes, and I bought it from the vendor directly via Amazon. So I tested it out this morning. While it is possible, it's about as reliable as balancing a pencil in one end. I can get it to hold, just like in the pictures, if I take great care in accomplishing that feat. It's by no means an indication of how strong the magnets are but rather how skillful the user is at maintaining steady hands. The product works, but it seems to be surrounded with false expectations as well. It connects on the 3rd or 4th try and it charges fine. It's limitations are solely in the magnets which make for an unsteady connection and users should know that this is not a charger that will remain connected to your device should you want to use it or even move it around.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] 613BulletProof:
Ordered the cheap ebay one from china $7. Yolo

Will report back with magnet strength
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] festizzio:
I have a similar experience. I purchased the Magnector adapter from Amazon and it worked amazingly well with my Z1 Compact, but now it has trouble staying connected to my Z3, even when the phone is perfectly stationary. It slides up to a 45 degree angle when I set it down on any surface and is definitely not trustworthy throughout the night. I think the grooves on the Magnector were designed more for the Z1/Z2 style phone than the Z3. Either that or the magnet on mine is extremely weak.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
Reporting back. Some people are complaining about how the Magnector cable/adapter slips off easily. I think what they meant is that the magnet is very strong, but picking up the phone moves the connection at an angle, causing the phone to be IN USE, NOT CHARGING mode. If you lay down the phone on a flat surface with the cable/adapter on, then pull the adapter up and way from the surface, the phone becomes in USE, NOT CHARGING with a slight angle.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] weebnuts:
I thought the whole point was to be able to use it and move around while it's charging, otherwise I'd get a dock. I have to be very still while I'm using it or it stops charging.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
Consider it the beginning of martial arts or ninja training lol.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] id3alistic:
Oh boy... I just ordered mine so I'll see how it goes. I had the same issue with my dock. The phone had to be attached perfectly for it to charge... any slight movement and it stops.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] festizzio:
So I just got my Ringke Fusion case in the mail yesterday. The magtron magnector adapter not only fits with the case on (extremely well with a lot of room to spare), but the case actually secures it and it no longer slips off like it used to.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] id3alistic:
Does how well the magnet is connected determine how fast the phone charges? The magnetic charger is advertised as charging 2x faster than normal usb.....
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
2x? That sounds hard to believe.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] neospade44:
Bricked Z3

Anybody else's Z3 brick itself and also used this cable or adapter? I've been using the Magnector cable for 2 weeks now and am curious to know if someone shares this same situation. We woke up to the Z3 being bricked and we did not leave it charging overnight, as the battery usually lasts more than 1 day.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] festizzio:
I really doubt it was due to this charger, I mean it has no data connection at all and literally just provides power. Are you sure the phone didn't just die or something? Have you tried charging it again?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] KoningPaulus:
What happens if you connect the magnector upside down? Since it looks like it could work in a '2way' like macbook chargers.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] boostedneonsrt4:
I doubt the charger had anything to do with it. Did you try doing a hard reset on your phone? IIRC hold down the volume up and power buttons until it reboots.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] neospade44:
Well, I've heard unofficial chargers can make quite a mess of cell phones, so it crossed my mind it could have. It's bricked completely and doesn't respond to either the magnetic charger cable or regular micro-USB charger under the flap. Pressing power and any combination of volume up or down also brings no result.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
You should check out my experiment thread: http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/xperia-z3-battery-life-recharge-t2916773

There is no way you can connect the connection upside-down because the two pins have different sizes. They meant to design one bigger than the other for that reason. It would be nice if it's like the Mackbook chargers, or even like iPhones.

That is very unfortunate. I hope mine doesn't end up like that. You should be able to do a replacement. Don't mention anything about the charger--say you use the original USB.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] neospade44:
Holding the Power and Volume Up managed to turn the Z3 on. I chose Safe Mode, it powered on, turned it off and powered it back on normally. Weird, but the Power Management tab stated 6 hours of potential battery/phone use once I charged it after this. Maybe it was taking into consideration the HUGE drop the battery took (under battery history) when it turned off (dropped around =30%). Regardless, its running well now. Will definitely keep an eye on the battery usage. Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] abhinav.tella:
I have heard these unofficial magnetic chargers sometimes damage the phone, reason is some/many are improperly made causing internal cross connections.

Remember the fake IPhone chargers causing deaths and injuries? These 3rd party companies selling for cheap have low quality standards/consistency in production.

This is the main reason I held off on purchasing one.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] erasat:
When you see the Magnector packaging and the process they take to do it you immediately know that is no cheap product. The quality and the magnetic strength of this product is even better than OEM.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] KoningPaulus:
Yep indeed. The magnector cable is 18 dollars, and the original sony is like 25. However, the magnector is way better and has a stronger magnet, which is very convenient.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] jess91:
Interesting thread, I've been wandering the Magnetron vs cable in Sony Dock (not the "genuine EC21" sold separately). I'm due to be a new ZU owner actually, not Z3 (can't afford it!) but interested in opinions.

The adapter option of the Magnector is far more practical than the fixed cable.

In my mind, taking apart a genuine Sony dock is the safe option. It is more expensive (relatively a big % but in real terms small enough, I don't mind paying an extra 10 for something I'll use hundreds of times) but less questions around reliability long term or safety. The Magnector is clearly superior to the cheap, unbranded stuff but there are reports of some quality issues after some use. I'll read a few good reviews and consider buying, then I see some doubts/feedback and go back to getting a Sony dock to take apart. Confused.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:

I read that the cable in question could damage the phone, is not it? I am very interested in taking it , but I have some qualms .
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] duero12:
What cases are compatible with the Magnetor X cable? The Ringke FUSION is compatible? charge the battery correctly?
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] KoningPaulus:
Ill be interested too.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] Entropy512:
CW should do that.

NOTE: What CW displays depends on the device. With most Qualcomms, it shows current in/out of the battery. This is the consumption from the power supply MINUS and power used by the device itself (screen, CPU, etc). So you can expect this number to vary with system load.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] 613BulletProof:
bought this one since it was cheap

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141439427668

have had it for 2 days, magnet is strong, can lift it up the phone while grabbing it from the magnet. Only tricky part (or takes getting used to ) is getting the magnet perfectly on the connector, its not as easy as a macbook and their magnet connectors, you really have to place it in perfectly. Once its in though its pretty solid, havent had it disconnect on its own or anything.

The charging indicator helps as well.

Charging times seem similar. will report back in a few weeks.

So far its worth the buy i say at only $7.. definitely prefer using this than my micro usb charger. I hate those.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] id3alistic:
Just got my adapter and it works perfect. You need a USB cable that isn't so stiff... because if it's all curly and what not, it will end up forcing the magnet to move.

EDIT: Errr, I looked at the adapter up close and mine looks like it's off, although it still works fine. Does everyone's look like this?

[IMG="Magnector X Adapter"]http://i.imgur.com/IbqO8Um.png[/IMG]
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] hanime:
^Looks like your magnet is tilted somewhat. If it still works (pins align and connecting), I wouldn't worry about it as the magnet is just there to keep it attached.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] infinitylook:
