I use a magnetic cable with a Motorola Turbo Charger (Quickcharge 2.0) which works perfectly so the dock should be no different.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

This isn't true unless the dock works differently to a regular mag cable, I don't see why it would though.

Read this post on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Xperiaz3/c...e_tried_quick_charge_20_turbo_charger/cos4c6w

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xperiaz3/c...e_tried_quick_charge_20_turbo_charger/cos4km5

QC2.0 will work with normal usb cable, and DK48 dock. Unfortunately it doesn't work on standard magnetic charger like magnector and etc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] wilkins502:
Makes sense. I guess the DK48 dock itself negotiates for QC2.0 or not. The magnetic port must be capable of accepting it - it's just the handshake for the charger that's needed. I really don't want to dish out so much money for the genuine dock, hopefully my elcheapo one will work :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] cruz-r:
My first post here, so please be kind ;)

Information about z3c<->QC 2.0 is a bit sparse, so after reading as much as I could find, I bought a QC 3.0 charger (Blitzwolf from China) that's supposed to deliver 2A@5V=10W and 2A@9V=18W.

Also I bought the Sony DK48 dock and own a Magnector X2 as well as a 2A Samsung charger

According to my tests using the 'best' cable I own (the one giving highest amperage @5V) and a USB Volt-/Amperemeter this is the current situation for me (values rounded):

- Sony charger, cable plugged into phone: 1.5A@5V=7.5W

- Sony charger, cable plugged into dock: 1.2A@5V=6W

- Sony charger, cable plugged into Magnector: 1.2A@5V=6W

- QC 3.0 charger, cable plugged into phone: 1A@9V=9W

- QC 3.0 charger, cable plugged into dock: 1.2A@5V=6W

- QC 3.0 charger, cable plugged into Magnector: 1.2A@5V=6W

Notes:

- the post above: the comment from reddit shows 1.8A@5V which is not QC 2.0

- I have seen pictures the phone being charged at 9V, 1A using UCH10 and DK48

- przemo-c reported fast charging with UCH10 and DK48 this a few postings above (his values suggesting >1A@9V)

My conclusion it this:

- z3c does support QC 2.0 (=9V), but either the phone or my charger seems to max out at 1A

- DK48 apparently supports charging at 9V but not with all chargers - UCH10 and DK48 might have a special way to negotiate charging at 9V which may or may not be according to QC 2.0 spec

Some additional info from my QC 2.0 charge test:

- phone appears to stay cooler then during normal charge, so charge efficiency might be higher

- 'full' speed (1A@9V=9W) is used until phone is at 60% when it drops sharply to ~0.75A=6.75W, then it gradually declines further from 82% onwards

- screen on/off doesn't change what's drawn from the charger with 1A but does with lower amperage, which suggests a hard limitation in the electronics of either phone or charger

- the charge ratings >60% probably represent the battery/charge circuit limits which means at that point it likely doesn't benefit any further from using QC (execept maybe from better efficiency)

Basically with my setup that would mean using QC 2.0 for z3c will provide charging at 9W vs 7.5W from 0-60%, afterwards by my crude comparison using battery monitor widget it seems to charge at a rate 50% higher than using a normal charger (comparison values made using magnetic connector so things might be off).

On the other hand the apparently higher resistance using magnetic charging seems to limit regular charging more than previously expected and higher voltage would improve things - if I could get it work.

Maybe I ought to cough out ~€20 towards a UCH10 charger for the fun of it ;)

To finish, this is the result of my first QC 2.0 charge:

2-60%: ~50min. = ~1,15%/min

60-90%: ~ 36min.

90-95%: ~12min.

95-100%: ~35min.

Does anyone have further information, confirming or refuting my findings and conclusions?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] heynando:
it's the phone that maxes out at 9w/h no matter the voltage. it's a soft barrier not a hardware one. Though it is there based on hardware reasons, not some banana crap, see this = http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59017892&postcount=28

the DK48 can input an output a current of 1 amp at 9 volts, so I too wonder why does it only do output it at 9 volts together with the UCH10. Must be some weird proprietary protocol-data that is exchanged and we're missing it.

the battery can reach full charge receiving 1a@9v just fine, even more than that actually, though again the soft (kernel) decreases the extra current after reaching 60% for various reasons, the mainly one being temperature, the aim is to prevent the battery from reaching temperatures over 40 celsius, see this = http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

it is possible though to fool the soft barrier by modifying the kernel in such a way that it will allow the battery to feed more than 1a@9v, see this = http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/development/sony-secret-revealed-qc-2-0-t3163490
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] vayenn:
Just found this thread and wanted to add that I've just bought a probably generic (gadgetme) QC2&3 charger which works with DK48. The DK48 requests 9V even with no phone in it. And, since there's no data via the DK48, it occurred to me that maybe the Z3 compact can simply accept 9V directly on the magnetic port. Tested with a desk PS, and it happily took it, just as if charged in the DK48. This opens an interesting reuse of old 9V DC adapters =D.

In any case, also my z3 compact limits charging to 9V 1A up to 60%, letting up to 1790 mA to the battery according to the Battery app, then very steady 1300 mA (0.5C of 2600 mAh battery) from 60% up to 4.35V, then CV. Another model with larger battery may let in more.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Doesn't the kernel (boot.img) contain recovery? O.o

Are there any known bugs? What are the features of this rom?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
wtf!? did u flashed it? there's no recovery??

features are mentionned...but idk why tapatalk doesn't show image, its showing on pc

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Wow O_o

Just surprised how you support Xperia V. I'll test it soon. Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
No no...I wasn't saying there's no recovery and I haven't tried it yet. My question was actually if the kernel has a recovery...because in the instructions you said "make sure to have CWM installed" so I was wondering why do we need to have cwm recovery before flashing the kernel if the kernel has a built-in recovery. I hope you understood now xD
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
lmao bro i copy/pasted it from my carbon thread; all kernel custom has a recovery...it was in order to make previously a nandbackup and then flash sh*it

u know what to do...i souldn't even have to put flash procedure ;)

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:

My Review

Flashed Validus, rebooted.

Holy Boot Animation :D I really like it!

First impression : Well this is almost Carbon ROM with some more features, God damn it, I wasted my time and 236 MBs of storage because of this ROM! I already had Carbon :rolleyes:

After some minutes :

Alright, those extra features are not as useless as I thought at first, I'm using them proudly :D

After 2 hours of using this ROM :

Holy sh*t! This is way smoother and more battery friendly!!! I really love it! Using as my daily driver :fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=5265704]Alx31TLse[/MENTION] Did you cherry pick some other things like JustArchi's Optimizations or something? You did something really good! Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
How much screen-on time are you getting during the day? Do you have random reboots, force closing...?? Is the memory menagement good?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
These GZR roms are builded with linaro+sabermod anyways...

and no im not cherry picking from JustArchi as it takes forever to setup and sometimes makes build fails and i have no time to loose, as u know im bringing lot of stuff now and time is like gold for me now x)

BTW thanks for the review
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
That Linaro+SaberMod made this ROM so smooth :good: Why you didn't tell us at first? :D It's best AOSP ROM I've ever tried. Just have one question : Does your next ROM also have Linaro and SaberMod? I wanna start customizing this ROM but another ROM is coming, I think it's waste of time because I'll do a clean install

It's too soon to say sth about battery, besides I'm not going to test battery because another ROM is coming soon and I can't wait to try it :) Also there is no random reboots and force closing till now. (I installed only 6 apps,waiting for next ROM)

Edit : By checking Alx31TLse profile I just find out next ROM is Tesla 2.5 from GZR team with Linaro and SaberMod :D

Edit 2 : I did some researches, I'm not the only one who feels better performance with Linaro.Everybody should take a look at http://www.xda-developers.com/android/xda-myth-busters-linaro-4-7-4-vs-gcc-4-7/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
yeah its Tesla...and yes both are linaro and saberuber compiled :p

will do that in cuple hours

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
So...will Tesla be better than this rom?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
No one knows :)

By the way I found one bug, after applying theme, Quick Settings and Notification panel won't change.

EDIT : Sorry for false alarm, it was theme related
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Does the camera have HDR?

EDIT: Ok, I decided to try this rom out (even though I'm quite happy on OmniRom right now) to see how it works instead of asking thousand questions. xD

I'll report my opinion after I use it for a day or two :)

EDIT 1: After installing and setting everything up, I'm really liking what I'm seeing and the performance is awesome ! The only things I miss are:

1) No turnable toggles (like swiping across data toggle to show preffered network type

2) This one is not a big deal but the letters seem kinda grayish and too thin when browsing the web...maybe I'm just imagining cause the only place where I notice it is on google page
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
[MENTION=5968743]finac94[/MENTION] C'mon! Look at attached screenshot below and tell me again that smart/quick pulldown is not present in Validus! ;)

I just found one critical bug : SystemUI crashes every time I long press on a notification. Logcat attached.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Oh sorry, I guess i missed those settings :silly: I edited my post and removed that one ^^

But I had to switch back to OmniRom cause I just find it the most stable and battery friendly at the moment...if only it had hdr and more camera options like other roms :/

This rom seemed pretty good for the time I used it, but I screwed it up by applying some lollipop theme and it just kept popping "system ui crashed" error and I just couldn't do anything xD that's pretty much the reason i switched because theme manager kinda breaks ui most of the time and I just can't control myself not to use it if I have an option xD

Little too flashy for my taste, but will try nonetheless. Great job!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
what u mean too flashy?? its an aosp with features...as other custom roms lolll :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PeterGeorgiou:
Very nice! good to see new roms being ported over to our device! will definitely try this soon :D thank you very much! :)

Trying right now
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
Cannot update anything from google play store
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
indeed u made a clean install and u tried different gapps pack ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Haha those titles scared me off. I thought it was themed! But my bad... this is a solid rom. Lies between Carbon and AICP feature-wise plus comes with built in V4A.

Hmm didnt come across this issue...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Alx31:
Hahha i knew some pple will like it...some goodies plus slim base, it's all good...but nobody runned a bench test? im curious since i guess (will figure out soon) its sabermod toolchain builded...so must be real smooth ;)

Tapatalked with Yuga
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Oh yeah? I ran back to Carbon because I did some alteration to system apps and systemui started to FC. I didn't have time to start all over again so i simply reverted to my backup. Now i wanna test this smoothness you are referring to.. hopefully during the weekend!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfm:
Yes i did, gonna give it another try today

ok let me know

Another rom is done but i have 4/5 builds to upload before... 30/40 minutes each, and already 11.00pm here i so pis*sed off that connection :mad:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Haha calm down mate. You're doing do much already!

It will probably be my last update as we working now on lollipop validus, and this one is milestone status so...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] moliverac8:
An AOSP build would be very appreciated if you can obviously.☺

No worry man,take your time
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vernonht:
my battery from 70% all the way to 30% in one night...

im not sure whether is it normal....

by the way im using VALIDUS-6.2-MILESTONE
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
It's not normal. I'm on that exact same ROM, and even though battery isn't as good as on Carbon, it's not that bad. You're probably measuring the first charge after flashing. Wait a few days and you might notice a difference.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vernonht:
LOL...can consider this as the first charge

I already flash this rom few times without wiping because i install the wrong things and it cause boot loop
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ibanez7:
Hi, just wanted to say, thank a lot for keep support TX with a new/another ROM, and also thank you for all dev (builder) rom from source for Hayabusa ;)

[Nexus 9 General] rjshar:
I hope this isn't a repost, but I have yet to see any post about the status of Google Play Store Nexus 9 Preorders and I figured it would be great to have a thread to consolidate this information when it becomes available.

I preordered a 32GB WiFi Nexus 9 in Black on Wednesday, and it still says shipping on November 3. I saw that Best Buy started to send out tracking information already so I was wondering if anyone has received tracking info for Play Store preorders yet.

The Play Store has an estimated ship date of 1-2 business days now, so hopefully that means everything will ship out smoothly and on time.
[Nexus 9 General] tsy87:
I'm hoping they have them in store so I can just swing by and get one on the way home from work tomorrow.
[Nexus 9 General] rjshar:
Yea, I'm almost tempted to cancel my preorder and do that... but I don't want to risk it.
[Nexus 9 General] Scotlac:
Where do you check the status of Play Store orders? I can't seem to find it.....

If they haven't charged my card by the time Best Buy opens tomorrow I may have to go have a look! :)
[Nexus 9 General] marctronixx:
look on your email receipt from google. click on the status and it will tell you all that info.

i pre ordered this nex on oct 20. shows shipping from warehouse on the 3rd also.
[Nexus 9 General] MadMax:
I called google and got told mine was being processed as they charged my credit card today. Said I should get a tracking number tomorrow most likely
[Nexus 9 General] marctronixx:
yep

checked the card and saw the charge has been made on 135am est time.
[Nexus 9 General] joshndroid:
mine was charged as well... hopefully can get a sneaky earlier than 5th for shipping then..
[Nexus 9 General] jaju123:
Anyone here ordering from the Netherlands? My ETA is today and the funds were put on hold like over a week ago.
[Nexus 9 General] kavey:
Just got shipping confirmation of my order from UK Play Store, fingers crossed should arrive tomorrow :)
[Nexus 9 General] jaju123:
God I hate/love waiting :P
[Nexus 9 General] Stylus_XL:
Not long now...
[Nexus 9 General] rjshar:
Ugh, still nothing for me... I'm going crazy!
[Nexus 9 General] jaju123:
Does it say 'pending' in Google Wallet for those of you who are waiting?
[Nexus 9 General] TheBiles:
Mine should be shipping soon. I couldn't cancel it just now, so I'm assuming it's been charged.
[Nexus 9 General] shady1080:
Mine says pending (shipping until the 5th)
[Nexus 9 General] rjshar:
No, mine still says "Leaves warehouse on 11/3/14"
[Nexus 9 General] PartyMango:
It's the same for me, guess we'll have to be patient for a little longer :crying:
[Nexus 9 General] femmyade2001:
i was just about to do that, but it seems best buy only has the black. I had preordered the white from play store. I will just wait.
[Nexus 9 General] rjshar:
Do you think the delay is due to Google being out on the west coast? Where do they normally ship their devices from?
[Nexus 9 General] showstopper03:
same. says ships 11/3/14 cant cancel order.

I doubt it. One of the largest UPS distribution centers is in Louisville KY. Thats where a lot of google devices ship from.
