Help Can I use the xperia z2 charging dock with my computer?

[kenneth70]

Hi guys , recently got myself an Experia Z2 . I was wondering if the charging dock that comes with it can be connected to my computer for the purposes of charging my phone . One more question , have we lost the ability to transfer apps to the sd card with the new Kitkat update? This is really doin me head in at this point . Have lots of HD games and have run out of space cause the Z2 only has an internal memory of 16gb. Is there any workaround for this without rooting cause the phone is brand new at this point .

Thanks guys for your time , any input is much appreciatted .

Kenneth.

1) Any USB charging device can be used with a smartphone.

2) With Kit Kat, only an app that has permissions to write to a folder can do so. If you're using an unrooted phone, and trying to transfer apps with an app that didn't create the folder you're transferring them (including the root of the card), it won't work. (An app running rooted [meaning running as superuser] has all rights to all folders.)

You must plug the charging dock into the wall socket. It doesn't charge using USB of a computer.

If you go into settings >apps and click on the app you want to relocate to the SD card then scroll down to move and it will move the application and its data to the SD card.

Hi guys my z2 suddenly kept it's Internet signal locked on and I lost 0.5gb in an hour. Switched it on /off, replaced sim but to no avail. Then remembered I installed antutu just before. Uninstalled it and all's back to normal. It might be irrelevant or not, just some info. BTW resolved the internal storage issues. Rooted, transferred all apps to SD and its golden. Using Folder Mount, great app.
