Hi,
Anyone know how to connect bluetooth to
O2 XDA? Thanks.
Bluetooth usb adaptor F8T001
Use bluetooth usb adaptor F8T001.
The XDA can only be hooked up as USB slave. Meaning it can only talk to a computer, not to peripherals, such as bluetooth adapters.
What?
That BlueTooth adapter is for adding Bluetooth to a computer with a USB port. That is the Belkin adapter.
That wont work.
IF someone has seen something... Id like to know... but as far as I know its not possible considering the SD slot does not support SD/IO and a serial implementation would be bulky. Furthermore the USB sync connection does not offer USB host which is what is needed to use USB devices. To my knowledge there is only one or two Pocket PCs that have this. The toshiba and one of the Cassiopeias.
BeDammit
YellowTab... the ressurection of BeOS
long usb sync connection
No bluetooth on Xda.
Only option is to use a very long usb sync connection?
bluetooth with usb port?
Hi,
Anyone know if there is such thing as a bluetooth with usb port?
Thank you.
Yes, but it would not help you since the device can only talk to USB-equipped computers, not to USB devices. To use BDSM terminology, it's a 'slave' and not a 'master', and doesn't like reverse roleplay.
I am lost here
I just dont understand why there is no way to use bluetooth on Xda
since you can use a usb sync cable or infrared to synchronised the
xda & desktop pc. Can there be a blue tooth unit at the end of the
usb sync cable that hook up to xda to received the signal from the bluetooth adaptor that connect to the desktop pc usb port. I thought
it is like just cutting the usb sync cable and using sort of wireless
medium to joint their ends. I understand a little bit about xda being a slave device etc but dont understand the part that you cannot use
sort of connections or adaptors etc to transmit signal? Maybe those
guys from bluetooth,SIG, will look into this area. So far as I know
they only have bluetooth to connect pc to printer and keyboard.
Seems like they say something like the OS of xda will not accept
bluetooth etc.. Hope you experts can enlightened me. Thank you.
Yeah, no problem! Go stick a Blutooth adapter on the end of a USB cable........then come back and let us know when you have paired the two devices up.
Hi everybody,
I´m new in here, so please forgive me when I'm asking stupid questions or anything
several things I found out so far :
first of all, of course there is a difference between a USB host and a USB device, as BeDammit pointed out correctly above. To use USB devices, the XDA would need host function instead of its built-in USB slave used for synchronisation. Generally speaking, there are just a few devices offering both host and slave function, since there are only a few USB chips offering both (for the developers: Philips has just launched some new of these chips).
For PDAs with Compact Flash, there is a new solution, which you can check out here : http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/subpages/cfu1u.html
(If they'd only had a SD version... :? )
Nevertheless, a synchronisation via bluetooth should still be possible since xda would only be a slave. There are some guys here in Germany offering Bluetooth Headsets via ebay, article number is 3329163765. On this auction's site they say : "don`t keep telling us your xda has no bluetooth; we know that. Therefore you will be delivered an additional bluetooth adaptor " (sic!)
I have not gone further to this so far, for actually I don't have my xda yet... 8) , but maybe this helped you a little further...
<half an hour later : >
I got it ! I got it ! It's made by Toshiba, but compatible. Check it out here :

Interesting
Anyone care to look more closely into this product and give us some feedback? Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do such a thing.
Cheers!
XDAs do not support SDIO cards, only SD memory cards...
(And doing a search in older messages would have revealed this same answer, only about 50 times...)
I have heaRD THAT o2 MAY BE RELEASING AN xda with triband and 64Mb ROM c/w bluetooth. A dealer told me but no word on the net. The XDA 64i apparently.
Anyone else heard that?
E-Ten P700
Yes, I got a reply from the supplier E-Ten who told
me The new device with bluetooth will be call E-Ten P700.
It is similar to O2xda just like their older version P600 series
but this one will have bluetooth. Their P610 has wifi 802.11b.
But the new P700 will only be release Q3. Most probably O2xda
new release might be around the same time. Cheers

This could possibly qualify as one of those non-existant stupid questions - but I wonder if I could use the XDA with a serial cable to connect to the console port of say a management switch or router, using some kind of terminal emulation software?

Could you do this with the following adapter?
http://pc-mobile.net/pxsm.jpg
Good Idea, Hope someone responds with a positive solution!
That's the solution. Simple as that. Serial cable. Depending on the way it's wired you may need a null modem adapter in addition. Then just fire up any terminal software on the PPC, set it for 9600 N,8,1, and you are on.
I've been carrying around base scripts for routers on a handheld for over 10 years so I can config a new router or restore an existing one in seconds. With Cisco IOS this is easy; not sure how well it would work for others, don't know them.

HI everybody
All of us know SD slot of wallaby devices dont support SDIO and this is the most important disadvantage of these smartphones that we can not connect many prepherals. So this is an interesting challange to think about this problem.
I'm not an specialist in electronics and Just I read a message from coolhawk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21120&highlight=rs232+usb+gps) and this was intersting for me, if a guy could connect a usb gps to XDA, maybe we can connect other usb prepherals too. If we can change the xda device from slave to master usb device, maybe we can connect many of prepheral usb devices such as camera, gps, bluetooth and network card.
what's ur idea
thanks
I dont think he is solving the usb slave/master problem with the gps, he is converting the signal to serial and wiring it into the com port to be read by gps software. He isnt actually using usb
I got my TyTN yesterday, so I'm a rookie...sorry about the stupid questions in the future...
Got one already, can I use somekind of USB devices with my TyTN? For example Garmin 18 USB gps receiver? http://www.garmin.com/products/gps18/#
I really hope this can be worked out, because I would need this kind of system in work.
No. Currently HTC phones are still not able to act as USB host yet. Probably the latest ones are able to do that, but definately not TyTn.
There are a large number of Bluetooth GPS devices you can use though!
I've looked around here a good bit and can't seem to find info on the USB functions of this device (I have an 8500). I've read where somebody got an external memory card to work through the cable, but what I am kind of curious about is do other USB devices work as well? Ie, if I get a cable with the appropriate ends on it, could I hook up a keyboard or, more importantly (and at the risk of "Read-the-massive-thread" flaming) an external GPS antenna (such as the one that comes with Microsoft Streets and Trips)?.
any ideas?
sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

In any USB connection, there has to be a "bus master" device, which "directs" all the other devices, and manages the transactions. This operation is usually done by a PC; while there are other pdas (I've seen HPs do it) which can be "reversed" and turned into bus-masters, no HTC device can do this. It is a hardware problem, as the pda needs some special hardware in order to be able to act as a bus-master. As a usb bus can't work without a bus-master, two "client" devices (such as your hermes and a usb memory stick) will not be able to work together.
Sorry!
The Samsung S3C 2442 processor used by the HTC Hermes actually does have native USB Host support per Samsung's documentation here: http://www.samsung.com/products/semiconductor/MobileSoC/ApplicationProcessor/ARM9Series/SC32442/SC32442.htm.
Now if the wires are connected or not, that's a question I have not yet dug deep enough to answer. Maybe, maybe not.
The ETEN M500 supported USB Host while the M600 does not. These devices are identical hardware as far as I could tell, both using the Samsung S3C 2440. The difference is Windows Mobile 2003 on the M500 vs 5.0 on the M600.
This indicates to me that Microsoft has either omitted USB Host support which they previously included in the operating system, or a change in the OS has made USB Host very difficult to implement.
Hope this helps somebody figure out a way to hack USB Host onto our devices.

Thanks for the reply Trane. this would be really handy to have working. Perhaps soemone else will chime in.

Has anyone tried to use one. Heard the Viewsonic G Tablet can do some. Needing a solution to cable it. Thanks.

I guess in theory, one of the ones mentioned in this article might work.
In one of my rooms the wifi coverage is very low - so it is tempting to try to get one of them to test.
tried a sabrent one, no luck

Need one that is supported by linux or drivers will for sure be the doom. The question is only wht support has actually been included by Asus.
This thread looked interesting to me, thanks OP.
I have tested some of these before in another project. I found differences in even what was supposed to be the same models, weird stuff. I did find a few models that worked on LINUX, but I will have to dig around to find them.
A good test might be to find a model that quasi *auto detects* and operates on a specific version of LINUX, as a prerequisite, and then test on the dock.
The amount of OS/configuration modifications to *auto detect* should me minimal or none.
Hmm, youll probably need to compile the drivers as modules and manually insert them before it might work. But its worth a shot to just try one first
I should have my hands on the Apple adapter on Tuesday.

It's working! I connected my n900 via usb and set it to network mode.
did netcfg usb1 dhcp and got the address from dhcp.
I wonder why they didn't include ifconfig in android :S
Also, I suspect you can use usb0 (client mode port) to connect to your pc.
Confirm: Connect to LAN using USB to RJ45 on Asus Transformer?
Hi,
I just want to confirm with the previous post that you were able to connect to the internet via LAN using a USB to RJ-45 purchased from amazon. (Search for "USB 2.0 to RJ-45 Ethernet Adapter" on amazon.) Did you connect using the USB port on the dock or on the tablet itself? Thanks!

Sorry second part of the first sentence confuses me a little. Are you referring to me? I connected to my phone that has usb network mode. And I attached it to a usb port on the dock.
So I picked up the Apple USB-to-ethernet adapter (MC704ZM/A), plugged it in and no response from my Transformer. Did you guys do anything special to get yours working?

I can confirm that I tried a USB to ethernet adapter (chip seems to be ASIX ax88x72A) and it did not work on my TF. The adapter came with a driver CD and it did include drivers for android. I'm attaching them here in the hope that someone who knows what to do with these files can help.
The driver files can also be found on Asix's website. Google "asix ax88x72A android". Sorry, this board doesn't allow new members to post external links.
I really hope Google or Asus can fix this missing rather fundamental functionality in a future SW update. I don't want to carry a router around and a lot of hotels only have wired internet!
