Subject: NT serial connection solved !
From: Ric. Wilson

HI
I posted a couple of days ago with a serial connection problem
on my work laptop AS 3.5/6 to NT 4.00 1381 sp6
I discovered the modem was on com1
I created com2 pushed the modem onto com2 rebooted and it worked
fine.
It seems that com1 must be dedicated to AS or it will not play.
Give it a go
Let me know how you get on
Cheers
Ric.

Hi Ric,
Interesting what you say about the modem being on COM1. I am not
at all technical, but have been confused as to why NT control
panel, ports, showed COM1 and COM2 when there is only one serial
port at the back of my laptop. It could well be that I have the
same problem.
Any chance you can expand on your "I created COM2, pushed the
modem to COM2 and rebooted"?? I understand the rebooting bit,
but not the rest of it!
Cheers,
Stewart

Hi Stewart
Go to Control Panel / Modems and see which port your modem uses.
Go to Control Panel / Ports and see how many ports you have
installed.
To get it all to work you MUST have activesync ONLY on COM 1. If
this means uninstalling your modem drivers and pushing them onto
COM2 then so be it. ( If you only have COM 1 installed install
COM 2 using default settings first, then uninstall modem then
reboot, then install modem drivers and push them on to COM 2 not
COM 1when prompted
The term COM ? refers to the drivers for a com port rather than
the actual number of physical ports you have on the machine. 1
com port can use up to 8 COM ? settings.
A bit confusing I know.
If you are still struggling let me know
Subject: serial cable and DCD signal
From: Eddy

I made a serial cable myself according to the pin layout as
described under Connectors on this website.
I use Active Sync 3.6 under NT4 and XP as well.
Unfortunately no connection was establised. From an XDA point of
view everything was OK and the XDA sends the word "CLIENT" to
the desktop PC. However the desktop PC did recognize this. And
so no answer was sent to the XDA.
I analysed the connection of a collegue of mine using an IPAQ
and official COMPQ serial cable. It turned out that in that
situation the DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal was high. On a 9
pin COMport connector this pin 1.
According to the specification of xda-developers.com it should
not be used.
As a solution I connected on the 9 pin COMport connector pin 1
to pin 6. And now everything works fine!
I am happy, but how come nobody else discovered this???
:wink:

Hello everybody,
I try to connect the MDA with a serial device like Cisco Router or simply an PC with Terminal emulation . I made a cable which connects PIN 8 with RX (on the other device) PIN 10 with TX on other device and PIN 19 with GND; Then I opened a Terminal programm called "Term force" with Properties (9600,8,n,1,Serial 1) on MDA.
But nothing happened !! At least, it should be possibly to send a string to the PC with "Hyper Terminal" opened.
Could anybody tell me which mistake I do !
Hi,
I am sure these questions have been asked a thousand times but I have searched for the last 30mins through the boards and cant find any.
I have been given an XDA which is locked to O2, I have a cradle with a USB connection. The software CD however is broken. I have plugged in the USB and allowed Windows to search for a driver for the new hardware (I have XP home) which it doesnt do. I have searched to download the software which is on the CD but I cant find any. Could anyone please advise me what my first steps are?? The XDA is on fine I just cant connect it to my laptop.
I have seen manyu ask about unlocking so Ill follow those examples.
Hope someone can help really want to get this XDA working.
You need to install Activesync...use google, or check the main pocket pc pages, 3.8 is released a few days ago.
No drivers are needed!
just download MS ActiveSync 3.8 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...21-8a85-45a2-8d13-653beb6cdddc&DisplayLang=en
Enjoy :wink:
Thanks for the help.
This may sound stupid but I have downloaded activesync and run the .exe file it copies the files then does nothing. It doesnt provide me with an application to start.
Anyone had the same problem?
It should appear on your programs menu on the desktop, try plugging in your xda to the usb and firing up activesync on the xda if it doesnt start automatically.
It shall ask you to connect your device to the cradle..
After installation, put your device in the cradle, and wait till the USB port detects the device...
You shall see the ActiveSync window after that. If not, then check your USB ports.
What version of Windows you have? WinXP?
I have Windows XP home.
Ok ill talk you through the steps I have done.
1. I downloaded activesync and ran it. Copied files but didnt produce an application.
2. Put XDA in the cradle and connected to my laptop through USB. Windows detects new hardware.
3. I have tried for Windows to look for the software but then it doesnt find anything.
I have also tried to open up active sync on the XDA whilst it is connected to my laptop, activesync opens fine on the xda but it doesnt fire anything up on the laptop.
ActiveSync 3.8 System Requirements:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/as-sysreq38.mspx
I don't think its a problem in your Windows!
try to install ActiveSync 3.7.1 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync37.mspx
If it didn't work, then double check the cradle's USB cable, maybe its not well connected to the PC or maybe its defected!
Otherwise, ActiveSync shall work like a charm!
Tried that too. Thanks for the help though.
I think its something to do with my operating system as the older version of activesync also doesnt provide an application to open.
delete the unrecognized PDA from the device manager, then plug it in again.
I've got ActiveSync 3.8 and I'm XP Pro SP2. XP does not see the XDA in the cradle. I've tried everything I can think of. Are you sure no driver is required? I read in the O2 help that you can plug the cradle into a hub but I've got a brand new motherboard that has several ports. I've tried all the ports but XP never sees the device.
Hi, in response to the questions above have you gotten the ActiveSync to open up at all? Also, when you plug in the cradle does Windows acknowledge the cradle connection or not?
Firewall ...
I had a similar problem and had a firewall running (not the Windows XP one). ActiveSync needs to connect to the PC through 127.0.0.1. If the firewall blocks that it can't see the device. It opens fine, says it's connected (in this case) but the phone registers no connection .... might be something to look at.
Hi, if anyone has had success using Destinator PN on the HTC Tytn, I would appreciate any help. I have a GlobalSat BT338 which I had previously used successfully on an O2 ATOM, but recently upgraded to a HTC Tytn. I cannot seem to get a Com Port to work - on Bluetooth pairing - setting an outgoing COM port - can only get Com 0, and Com 2 and Com 4 as available ports. Yet, on the Destinator PN Find GPS mode - only available Com options are Coms 1,5,6,7 and 8.
I use the same receiver, but I have only used TTN6 and iguidance 3. Both allow the selection of the avialable com port (I chose Port 2). If there is no way to do it you kay want to switch the AS port to 2, 4, or 0, and then use the default AS port (port 5) to fix the problem.
First you've got to pair your GPS.
Then go to the "COM" tab in the bluetooth manager
Add a new outgoing port with the GPS as device (do not tick the serial port box)
* Copy the "DestinatorApps/Destinator/Destinator.ini" from the pocket pc to your desktop
* Open this in a hex editor and change where it says C.O.M.6 to the com port of your gps. Mine was Com5 so I just changed the 6 to a 5.
* Copy the "Destinator.ini" file back onto the PPC
I have already had this problem and fixed it myself... do a quick search... there is a file you can download and it shows all com ports... much easier than doing a hex edit, etc...
yes same here - I have got this to work a few months ago with the tytn and destinator pn - cant remember how - but it does work ...
alternatively, get the new destinator PN (6) - it lets you choose all the ports and works super fast!!
I found EnableDUN.lnk shortcut in \Windows folder (and the program with the same name).
Running program allows to switch TG01 from ActiveSync mode to Dial-Up Networking (DUN) mode - see attached screenshot.
After selecting DUN menu item my laptop (Windows 7) switched off ActiveSync and identified my TG01 as USB Serial Modem, but could not find a suitable driver for this modem.
Does anyone know where to get this driver?
Hi.
Well, very old post but without any response.
You can utilize one of HTC .ini script and fix it for tg01 purpses.
Works fine. I'am just writing this post utlizing tg01 as as usb serial modem.

Hello, I'm facing this problem from many years in my phone, i can't plug in my mate 10 to any pc, it always says usb not recognized,

I'll try to help you but I'm not an expert, and yet I've had EVERY problem you seem to be speaking about.
a. I have had broken USB ports
b. I have had broken USB cables
c. I have had the USB drivers not install on Windows
etc.
Given I've had some of the same problems, I feel for you, so my first advice is to simply give up on USB for everything that you can.
Specifically, if you can turn on USB debugging and Wireless debugging in the Developer options, you can operate the phone over Wi-Fi using the Windows monitor, keyboard and mouse as shown in my screenshots below.
You don't need anything installed on Android to use these FOSS solutions on Windows to operate the entire phone over Wi-Fi as of Android 12 (which eliminated the need for an initial USB connection to establish the Wi-Fi connection).
In summary, I have had similar problems with USB where I've given up on USB and switched to operating Android over Wi-Fi and even mounting the entire Android file system as a Windows drive letter over Wi-Fi using free software.
a. adb
b. scrcpy
c. vysor
d. webdav
Use Windows Event Viewer to check for error messages on the PC.
If the problem is the PC it will likely show up there and give you more troubleshooting clues.
