Slow Charging Dock DK48 Xperia Z3 Compact

[agusv97]

Hello everybody,

I recently bought an magnetic charger (DK48) for my Z3C. Today I tried it out and it's charging really slow.

I used the app Ampere to measure it and this are the results:

With 1.5A Sony original cable: 1000mA

With 1.5A Sony original cable and dock: 80mA

With 2A Samsung Tab2 original cable: 900mA

With 2A Samsung Tab2 original cable and dock: 170mA

It shouldn't be that slow. I have read over the Internet that charging the phone in the dock with the phone turned off charges like it should, but haven't tried it out. Nevertheless, I shouldn't need to turn it off to charge it.

Maybe the dock needing 1.8A and the Sony charger giving 1.5A have something to do, but I don't know. And i think that using the Samsung 2A should have solved it

How long does it take to charge your phone normally, using USB port under the flap?

How your phone behave after charge?

What about contacts cleanliness in your phone and desk stand?

Haven't been able to test charging normally again. Last night I charged it using the dock and haven't depleted it since then.
The contacts are clean in both the phone and the dock.
I'm going to a Sony store now to see if they have a dock to test it

I just got out from Sony store. First I tried my dock with another cord, it didn't worked. Then I tried using a tablet dock from the store, it worked perfectly. Charge rate was about 1.1A
Maybe I've been given a broken dock or it's just another scam from eBay. I hope there's a fixit guide on internet
Thanks for a the help Kuba
