anyone still using the cheap dock from ebay?
recently i discovered that there is "current noise" coming from the dock when i was charging. the "noise" stopped as soon as i power off the mains.

is it sign of failure? still safe to use? or time for a new one.

Is it because your micro-SD is Micro-SDXC, while the reader only handles up to Micro-SDHC?

There are several apps that you can use to read your card in your phone using wifi... eg: AirDroid and Wifi Explorer

Sigh... and you waited this long to act?! Go down and give them a piece of your mind. Write the problem down in their blog and facebook. Get a manager to call you asap.

Call them is no use one. i use skype to call them and was waiting for 45 minutes.
First thre some weird music, then they tell you "All our operators are currently engaged. Alternatively, you can send an email to questions.sg@support.sonymobile.com"

Which i did. i sent an email and have no reply.

If yall visit the sony facebook page, u can see people complaining about their phone being in the service centre for more than a month and yet no updates.
