It's the fastest charging android phone I've ever had (and since October 2008, I average a new android phone every six months).

The battery could deteriorate faster, i don't think a 2A charger would damage the phone i could be wrong but i've used it quite a bit over the past 2 years and never had any problems

Isn't the charging rate determined by the phone itself?
It would be stupid as hell to have the charging rate determined by a (universal) external device!
Yes, the charging amps are regulated by a circuit in the phone. There is not a direct connection from the charging connector to the battery itself. LoL.
Now that's not to say that an over powered charger could not damage the charging regulator circuit over time....

Why are you so concerned? I don't think you are keeping the phone for longer than 1 year anyways

Same here. It's definitely the fastest charging Android phone I've had before. I've had an Acer Liquid, a Motorola Defy and a Nexus S, and it trashes them on charging time. The S3 actually charges in the car when i'm using GPS too, rather than slowly flattening!
I'm going to replace the micro USB cable that came with my Nexus 4. (The one from the stock charger). I need a cable which charges as fast as the stock one. I tried getting a cable from Mediabridge but they don't ship outside US.
I found those two on Amazon. They're almost the same, the one being 3.0 while the other one is 2.0. Is it the same which one I choose, and are those cables suitable for charging my nexus 4 with stock charger? Thanks.

2.0 Has issues with connections and the charging speed is not so good.
3.0 does not fit at all.
The best one is the Fosmon Flat Cable which is pretty good for its price, I even have one myself.
It is 2.1 AMPs out which does a good speedy charge on the Nexus 4, I even own a orange one and it is just so good.

My mistake with 3.0. Didn't check properly .
Is the fosmon high quality? Does it break easy etc? I'm open for more suggestions
Edit: found it on eBay since it doesn't ship to Europe on amazon. Shipping costs around 12$ :/. Its this one, right? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=310699483496

If you are in the UK you have to use the UK site.
The cable is high quality, never even got any damage and any of that.

Yes you can buy it if you want since it is your money of course.
It looks like that you should be using Amazon.co.uk

Fosmon if those ate the flat colored cables then they equal crap. The only success I've ever had with micro USB cables are heavy duty black berry cables, Samsung, HTC, I just bought a media bridge 10 footer going to give that shot

Or $5.99 from us store.

The UK site supports Europe so that could only be your only hope unfortunately, it is this hit or miss moment.

Hi guys,
Got my Z1 Compact from O2 and they don't provide chargers.
Could someone do me a solid and tell me what the output ratings are on the charger which comes with it?
I'm currently using a Nexus 7 charger which has a 2A output and am a bit concerned.
Cheers

Hi, I'm using the same charger. The phone should regulate itself and only suck in what power it needs, a 2A supply shouldn't be an issue for it. If the phone can only accept 1A then that is all it will accept from the charger.
The Stock charger is rated 1.5A. From the looks of it, it is the same charger included with Z1.
So is the retail box for the O2 Z1C without charger looks the same as normal Z1C?

Probably due to the S800 being able to use quick charge methinks.

I see their point but they must be having the reboxed by manufacture or taking them out themselves which isn't saving anything! I got mine on o2 but from cpw.

I can confirm, the charger that comes with the phone (ordered direct from Sony) is 1500mA (1.5A),

Exactly. Or the charger you have isn't the correct rating? I am sure they wouldn't sort out on battery issues under warranty!

They would have to. They committed to this nonsense.
The chargers they sell in store are just generic stuff. They don't keep stock of actual Xperia chargers.
I bought this off Amazon.

I'd be surprised if not.
I'm ready to buy a 6+. I've got some recommendations for cases, but I'd like to get the same for chargers.
This will be the first phone that I've owned without a removable battery so I'm looking for something portable away from home as well as one for in-home use.

Anyone know if the charging dock is the same for the d5 and k9\x3 watch?
there are different cuts for buttons on dock side.
but electrically probably are the same.
