Hi all
I have just seen some GPS units that have a USB interface. Can anyone speculate whether it would be possible to hack off the USB end of the lead and adapt it successfully to be used for the XDA??
Sounds like a daft question really, but there are enough die hard hardware gurus here to be able to do this!!!
Thanks

Forgive me if this subject has been covered, I've not been able to find much on this and I'm fairly new to all this having just aquired a Hermes recently.
One of the things I did hope to do with this (amongst many other things of course) is to use this device as a remote control. I have a number of devices that would become unusable if their remotes were to die and so creating a dbase of all those obscure remotes has been worthwhile using my ipaq to date.
Currently I've tested a couple of pieces of software which work but it appears that the infra red signal is pretty weak, particularly when comparing it to my iPaq 2210 running Nevo. It's far too weak to really be of that much use.
Anyway before I give up on this path I thought I'd try to find out if anyone else has found this to be as weak as I have and more to the point, would a radio or ROM upgrade help or is this down to the hardware that HTC used for the irDA?
It is in general that most PDA's have a 'weak' IrDA submitter. HP is really an exception. I also missed this powerful Irda when I switched one day ... !
A ROM upgrade won't change this.
You might be better off by buying a UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL for your devices. Even your HERMES might be happy and last a bit longer.

Ok thanks for the information. I was kind of expecting this to be the case. I might have to hang on to the HP, it works a treat. It's a shame though.
I'll concentrate on finding out about the rest of the stuff I need to resolve like the gps problems as Tomtom is one of the priorities.

Those devices are the devils work I tell you!.
is there some people that have installed a stick usb dvb-t on htc???
thank you

A very interesting question, not thought of that one. I will be interested to see any answers! Quite a lot of USB stuff does work.

no USB dvbt drivers anywhere for Windows mobile I am afraid, perhaps it could be possible to adapt some drive from a device with internal dvbt, but no likely since it sould match the TV chipset in the USB stick and enable communication through USB, also there is the software and front end.
There are other possible solutions tough, I posted in an old thread , don't ask because I do not remember which one but i think it was related to this, so perhaps some search find it.
supposedly there are two devices in development, one is a dvbt bluetooth device and the other is a DAB device
Found it

Hi,
how about this device.
bluetooth DTV receiver for Windows Mobiles.

Hello!
I’ve to make an Android high school project and I’ll need to send signals through the USB cable (the interpretation of these will be another project) so be able to send 1 or 0s will be enough I guess…
To get that, I’d need the USB Host mod or the Accessory one?
I was thinking to buy this tablet for testing that has USB Host and 2.3.4 Android version but I’m not completely sure if it will be compatible….
Thank you very much!
Please....
no one?....
sadly, with the cheap 'Chinese knockoff' tablets, there's pretty much no way to know something like that.
I say get an old android phone with at least some dev support off Craigslist or something for your problem. An OG Droid (for example) would have more than enough supports and preexisting hacks for you to be able to program the USB port a little.
Thank you strongly. I supposed that all, but my intentions were to get "send that signals" using an non-customed ROM and a "cheap" Android device (I can't no waste to much money on this)
Read in the specifications USB OTG made me think that will be posible to control USB...
Anyway, would you know the difference between USB Host and Accessory?
Thank you very much!

^that should help explain it.
Thank you, I have read before but the only difference I saw was the power source location....:S
I wanted to reply to this post but can't because I haven't made ten posts.
I've been reading up a bit on the BT thing, and was wondering how reasonable it would be to look into replacing the wireless module.
Even though these modules are made for OEM designs they can be bought from places like mouser. I don't think I would be able to get the datasheet from RFM since they ask to request it, and let you sign a NDA with lots of questions.
Has anybody been looking into this option seriously? I don't really know a lot about the software part of this operation, but wouldn't mind looking into the HW part.
As sidenotes:
* has anybody used the UART port used initially for hacking the device for other purposes such as controlling external hardware, or is this out of the question?
* Any chance the NT would get USB host connection somehow? Is this something that is currently being looked into or just not feasable?
regards
Hi,
* @AdamOutler has been the one using UART as far as i know, so if you have questions about it you should PM him (he's the man)
* I think devs are trying to first get Bluetooth working before USB host, i know in the nook color is possible and im sure they have it in their to-do list but will take sometime. one step at the time. If you want to know about the bluetooth issue they are having then check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554956 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553040

Hi Veronica,
The post I refer to is in one of the threads that you link to.
The chip/module in the NT is the WL1270, which (according to the manufacturer), just isn't capable of BT. The WL1271 has that capability, hence the question about desoldering the module in the NT and swapping it with it's sister that has BT capability...
Or I really should have missed something...
I have a TP on the way. I travel regularly for work and not always accommodated in places that have tvs (tv signals yes, actual tvs no), and was wondering if anyone has successfully got a usb DVB-T tuner to work on the Prime? (i will most likly be rooting it within a few days of receiving it, so that does not worry me ) I have had a look on these forums and have found no definitive answer.
Any help much appreciated, and i am willing to help any way i can
Bump. Does anyone know if it has been done?
That would be soooo nice! ;-))
i also will be happy to have it
