Wireless charging for Z3 compact ?

Hi,

After looking during hours for a way to charge my Z3 compact by wireless, one conclusion stroke me :

> There is no accessory or Qi case or whatever to wireless-charge the Z3 compact.

Some could say  there are the micro usb basic port or the magnetic dock charger.
Absolutely, but both have their issues (micro usb access only by opening the cache and obvioulsy fragilizing it and taking risk, magnetic docks issues some devices " loosing " the magnetic strip)
Both of those issues eventually might cause troubles for the IP certification though.

For these reasons I'm desperatly searchig for a Qi case (like the Z3 one) or a Wireless charging station.
Or any information about a new feature from Sony about this.

Thanks for replying...

Thank you dquilon for the hint with not perpendicularly direction! I was starting to think that either something was wrong with my phone or the doc station and the cable were broken. Still, the design is not very good... But at list I know that everything's working, so thanks a lot!)

Hello dquilon,

I still have a few questions to better understand and choose my adapter :

  • Could you please precise the model of your magnetic adapters ?
  • For how long have you been using these 4 adapters ?
  • As a mechanical engineer, I understand the "cracker" strategy but do you think you could improve the "smoothness" of the strategy by removing (cutting with a machine) a part of the magnet on the adapter ?

What kind of answer is that?

The device don't have any wireless charging built in, ant there is (still) no official or 3. party way to enable it.

If you can't provide any useful info, why are you replying at all?

Well, ant is enabled by default and not sure why you say you can't enable it. The Z3c is a wonderful device and the magnetic charger on mine works flawlessly. Yes, it's no wireless charger but hey! It's not bad at all and it's ways much better than opening the flap to connect the USB cable.
