Where did you order it?

I ordered from Sony mobile site.
I just recieved it, 10 mins ago, and the disapointment is HUGE.
This is NOT a wireless charger. In fact the charging goes via the two metal surfaces on the side. I've been wondering what they are for, but I guess this is the answer. It's nice to be able to charge without opening the flap, but still, this isn't the solution I was picturing when I read "wireless charging".
To sum it up: I payed ~50 dollars (360 swedish kronor) for a plastic piece with two pins that charges my phone through the side instead of USB. I've could've made a charger that works just as good myself, damn it!

Well, ofcourse..... Did you expect anything else? Xperia v dosent support qi charging. How else would you transfer electricity to the phone if not for the two metal contact points?! Neither Sony or anyone else have stated qi standard om the v.

Do you know the polarity of the charging pins ? Is it ac powered or you just simply connect your USB charger ?
They Cost 88 Singapore Dollars here in Singapore .

I just received my cradle today, I did not measure the pins but they have a + and - sign on them. see attached picture.

Xperia V DIY charging dock
does anybody has plans on making a DIY charging dock? since i bought a nillkin case for mine, my phone will not fit in the regular charging dock. i'm thinking of something that uses elastic bands to hold it while charging. needs to be pretty compact so you can still take it anywhere.

xperia v dock
so no hdmi or usb or anything else in the dock just charge ?? i was thinking in buying it but if it is just for that never mind. But i wonder why they didn't make a dock like the ion lt28i smart dock, i almost buy that phone because of the smart dock

Hi I wanna build my own cradle. Can you please measure the voltage of the pins. Are they 5V? Do you connect it with a simple USB Charger? Or is there a power supply?

3I too made my own DIY charging dock.
Since DK25 dock is too expensive ( about 55 $ in Ebay ) i thought to build one on my own
So i bought these two from Ebay
the DK26 replacement dock ( about 8 $ )
And plastic hard case cover ( about 2 $ )
I dissembled the Dk26 replacement dock and took out the circuit and attached that to the hard case using super glue.
So here's the out come
And it does charge the phone :laugh::laugh::good::good:
And here is a screenshot
I would like to thank all the members who have posted guides on making DIY charging dock in this thread. It's you that inspired me to build mine,
This whole process must have costed me about 11 $ ( i have saved 40+ $ ) But the most important thing is the fun i had during the process and the satisfaction after seeing it work is priceless3A nice way to make a dock for Xperia V
I am happy that I found this thread because I wanted to share my easy solution.
Personally I find the price of the original dock DK25 unreasonably high!
So I found the same cheap dock for Xperia Z (couldn't post the link here since it's my first post)
It has a removable plastic plate for allowing docking a Xperia Z with a case.
Removing this plate makes the thickness proper for the Xperia V.
Moreover the side position of the phone matches exactly the pin positions on the dock (and with the correct polarity).
So basically the only necessary modification takes less than a minute.
it's the removal of two small plastic pieces which are designed for a tighter fit in the case of Z but push the V out of the dock.
These can be removed easily by pushing them down/inside the dock using a screwdriver.
BTW I already have two of them - one for home and the other attached to the cup holder in my car allowing me to use it for navigation.11Look at this Guys!
