On-The-Go USB and Magnetic Charging Cable simultaneously?

Hi everybody I am new to this forum so thank you in advance for reading!
Has anybody had any experience with using an on-the-go USB connector AND the magnetic charging cable simultaneously on their Xperia Z-series device... and does it work?
I am considering buying the Z3 Tablet Compact when it becomes available to use as a field monitor with my vdslr rig (running the DSLR Controller app) which requires the USB port to be used with an OTG connector wired into my DSLR. I have already successfully used my Galaxy Tab2 10.1 for some time with this but is a little on the big/heavy side and the battery life is poor so it doesn't last too long. The Xperia Z-series having a separate magnetic charge port is suddenly a very tempting option now there will be a lightweight, 8 inch option with a super-fast processor.
BUT it is a lot of money to part with if the two charging ports cannot be utilised simultaneously! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated guys.

All I know from owning one is that it only works when pluged in to a mains socket - I assume it is an amps thing but I'm unable to test this theory - It could also be a monitoring detector in the phone which is able to detect the type of power - Sony themselves have also said it will only work via a mains socket
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. Richard P. Feynman

Turn it off by holding home+ power button untill the screen goes black ( as soon as it goes black, release the buttons).. This might take some practice , so dont worry if on the first try your phone reboots and goes to itunes screen again.
Now, with your phone powered off, enter DFU mode:
Method 1)
Attach the phone to the pc
Turn the phone off
Hold power and home together for *exactly* 10 seconds
Release power but keep holding home until the pc beeps as a USB device is recognized.
Whilist in dfu mode, itunes will recognize the device and it will ask you if you wish to restore it. Simply click restore, and the restoring proces will begin.
This will hopefully fix your iphone.
Cheers

Hold the Power button and Home button at the same time, keep holding, when you see the white apple logo appear and then let both go. Let it start.

Magnetic charging cable

I hate having to fiddle about inserting micro usb to charge my Z3, and was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent magnetic charging cable about 1.5 to 2 meter in length, as can't see them on sony website, just the docking station, which won't work with my flip case

It maybe so that it takes longer, but honestly, I don't even notice it. In reality, I'm using a 1A charger instead of the supplied 1.5A charger. Works well for me. Love these adapters though.
My only complaint about the magnetic bit is that it could have been designed better. I have one in my head that it's simple and easy... probably won't cost them anything to change it either. No extra material.

What are the output specs on the creative car and house charg

I found a belkin AC to USB adapter and here are the specs:
Belkin Model: USB-TC-0 Input: 00~240 VAC, .3A, 50~60Hz Output: 5.5 VDC, A Plugs into US standard wall socket Provides one powered USB port
Would this work?
What are the output specs of the creative car and house charger so i can compare it to this?
thanks

is your charger a house one or a car one? thanks for you help.
not sure about the .5v difference
That would be for the house. And it should work with a .5V difference, but dont hold my word on it when your player gets hot. Also this is for a Zen Micro?

After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hi lepyykko,
If I understand your question, you are trying to update your iPhone, but you are seeing an error message that iTunes for Windows is not installed, is that right? The first step is to get iTunes successfully installed on your computer. Then backup the iPhone before updating the iOS software.
Are you seeing any error messages when you try to install iTunes for Windows?

You are in recovery mode, you need to restore it through iTunes on your computer then reload your most recent backup.

HT1551 after finish installing an update, the the status light keeps blinking and a picture of the connection between the micro USB and iTunes shows up - what is this about?

The update failed - using a USB to microUSB lead (that Apple annoyingly don't include!), try to restore the AppleTV software to current version software using instructions here:

Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.

Anybody sell the Mac Pro and not charge tax?

Anybody sell the Mac Pro and not charge tax?

I concur. Expercom is probably THE best place to buy a Mac - other than directly from Apple - of course.
I ordered my new 8 Core Mac Pro on Thursday with just standard shipping. It is scheduled to arrive some time today. I got it with 4GB's of Ram for $2770, no tax and only 1 cent shipping.
Good Luck on your purchase!

How to optimize your PC for the 0404 USB and 0202 USB

This is a guide on optimizing your system for the 0404 USB and 0202 USB.
Make sure the 0404 USB is using a USB HOST that is on an IRQ alone. This means no other device in the PC can be sharing its IRQ.
If you are running a hyper-threaded CPU, by turning hyperthreading off from the bios. You can set the latency at 20ms or lower and you will usually not have any latency issues.
Change Processor Scheduling to 'Background Services' - Navigate to the Advanced page of the System applet. Click on the Performance Settings button, select its Advanced tab and click on 'Background Services' for Processor Scheduling.
Switch Off Power Schemes - In the Power Options applet, choose the 'Always On' power scheme. Change the settings for monitor and hard disk turn off and System standby to 'Never', so that your PC doesn't unexpectedly conk out during song playback
Disable System Sounds - Select the 'No Sounds' scheme on the Sounds tab of the Sounds and Audio Devices applet.
Make sure legacy USB support is disabled in your BIOS.

Hi everybody.
This message to share my experience of the 0404 USB under Windows 7.
I previously operated this sound adapter under Windows XP and it was working fine with my pipe organ simulator (Hauptwerk).
When I switched to W7 on a Dell Vostro (professionnal series), sound was muting after exactly one minute . The same with a video on Yutube.....
I did all the adjustments suggested here and there on the web (sampling rate, drivers) , I tried to operate at moonlight, I shot a chicken, etc ...
After many manipulations, I noticed that, if I was doing "something", for instance moving the sound level up and down, the sound was going on ....
The solution was in part at the beginning of the topic "how to optimize your PC for th 0404, etc ....".
The keyword is "interrruption".
As a matter of fact, the Dell laptop is strongly closed. The BIOS allows no adjustment of nothing.... No way to control interruptions allocation.
BUT!!! I noticed that the two USB 2.0 ports are located very far away from each other. I supposed there would be TWO controlling chips. And I tried the second one. AND IT WORKED!
So the E-MU guy is right, the device must get a free interruption line to operate ....!
