Hi
Can anyone give me a link to a site which supplies working USB SYNC AND DATA CABLE for XDA IIs.
>Regards

Hi! I bougt a sync/data cable for my qtek 9090 (XDA IIs, XDAIII, PDA2K.....) on ebay from a ebayshop in the UK, worked fine with everything, shipped to Sweden in 3days. Hava a look at http://stores.ebay.com/Morpeth-Mobiles
hy....
i've buyed this:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/minisync/minisync-retractable-cable-qtek-9090_441.htm
and this:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/carcharger/index.htm
and i dont be satisfied because the minisinc starts to get bad contact, sure to caused by using this on my pocket almoust every days.... but could be my fault.... the car charger drops from the lightning hole charger (i dont know how it wrottes in english)..... but it could be my fault again because i'm a owner of o old car.......
I have two.
One branded brando - this is a very small retractable mini-sync. It works fine with my O2 XDA IIs
http://shop.brando.com.hk/bwretractablesynccharger.php
I also bought another one from expansys I believe, which was listed as working with the i-mate PDA2K. AFAIK a PDA2K is a BA same as the O2 XDA IIs.
This unit is slightly bigger than the brando one, and it DOES NOT WORK. It will not charge or sync, although it does fit in the connector.
The brando one is great though.
If you have a car, get a USB to cigarette lighter adapter and leave it in the car, keep the brando mini sync on you. That way on foot or in car a charge is never far away.
I have both for XDA mini, XDA II and XDA IIs

I had been looking for a simple desktop cradle for a while and read reports on badly fitting ones and others that were good but expensive, and hrizontal ones that I didn't like, but I finally found a new one that suits my needs perfectly and is very inexppensive.
I found it a Techmate Australia http://www.techmate.com.au/ only $35.au, good quality, mini USB for power in (no adapter supplied), tethered USB cable for sync, fits nicely and is easy to drop in and out.

Dear esseff,
Could you provide me a link to a horizontal desktop cradle (as I understand you found it at Internet).
I really like horizontal cradle but I cannot find no one like this for Hermes (only for Wizard).

here's one on ebay
Cheep desktop "cradle"
I've been using a very inexpensive desktop cradle ever since I got my 8525.
It's a $.99 tripod from Microcenter. The little rubber feet hold the lower edge of the phone and the angle is good.
I've attached a few pictures.
I got this idea from http://www.aximsite.com when I had my Dell Axim x50v.
Thanks a lot for the report Esseff, I've just bought one - good to have a first hand opinion, especially from a fellow Aussie .

Here is an Australian link
http://www.mrgadget.com.au/catalog/...dopod-838-pro-desk-cradle-charger-p-2136.html
... but I have seen the same one at other o/s sites
Can't wait till mine arrives - its the only thing that I've hated about this device, not having a proper cradle.
Please forgive my ignorance on the the model issue.
Will the Cingular 8525 (Hermes 100) work with this dock?
Thank you
Is there one available that will charge a spare battery as well?

I bought this same cradle from ebay for under 20USD and shipped from hong kong, and this thing WAS a piece of junk, it fit my phone well, but after a few uses the usb plug started falling into the cradle and it was no longer making a connection. I cracked the case only to find it being held in place by glue... I found that the ground connection wasnt very good, so i re-soldered the ground, put the plug back in place, and used massive amounts of hot glue to hold this thing in place. After doing that this thing now works like a charm. I would suggest to anyone that purchases this thing to immediately crack open the case and dump alot of hot glue inside to keep this from happening!
OOOOHHHH MYYYYYY GAAAAAWWWWDDDDD
I just received my cradle from MobilePlanet.
IT IS FRACKIN AWESOME PEOPLE. Did you hear me. I SAID FRACKIN AWESOME! (Yes I watch Farscape what of it?)
$39.00 USD. Had to wait for a while 2 to 3 weeks...... BUT (there's always a big BUTT but this one is GOOHHHDDDDD!)
This CRADLE KICKS SERIOUS ARSE! ARSE! ARSE I TELL YA! it charges AND syncs the device AND.........
the second battery from the USB. It also has a power cord port.
But if you are a road warrior and I'm about to go back out on the road again...fly out Monday return fly in on Thursday - and you have an extra battery you'll need this cradle. It also fits the funky honkin 2400 batteries. (I assume that is what the extra cut out space is for though I sport a 1500 and an OEM so I can't say for sure.)
Fits my device like a glove. Looks sharp. Feels good. WELL MADE.
IT IS SWEET AS HAYLE! Run don't walk. Are you runnin yet! (It is worth the wait. Did I mention that?)
I wanna buy another just in case I loose this one. or to have one down stairs and one in the office. Maybe I'll buy 2 more to have one in the briefcase, one down stairs and one in the office.
Yes that's it. I'm going to the site to get mine before ya'll gobble them up.

Here you go. I already placed my order for 2 more. I think I'm gonna stick with the Hermes for a while...at least the next 6 to 8 months.

Amazing, I finally found out this was available a few days ago then I read this thread...well, as soon as someone picks up the cradle and battery for that horrible 750v I tried to use then I'll order this cradle. I don't really see the point in getting the ones that don't charge an extra battery though...isn't that the whole point?

But some only charge the device extra battery when you use the wall charger. If you use USB then it only charges the device.
The MobilePlanet one charges both the device and extra battery on USB as well as the wall charger. That is what makes it worth the cost alone...not to mention the thing is pretty well made.
Anyone in the UK managed to find a decent, reasonably priced cradle?
I've seen quite a few but these have a USB plug only, so if you want to charge the handset, you need the PC to be on.
What I'm after is a charger with a USB connection and a mains connection so you can charge the Hermes without the PC being on.
Hermes Cradle
Have you seen this one? It has an extra battery charger and both USB/mains connections.

Mine broke the day before yesterday aswell ...
I got lucky that regard. Picked up a brand new touchstone at staples from the clearance bin...$9.99. Also grabbed 3 HP chargers with cables for $7.99 each....should be set for the life of this tab and then some ;-)
Someone mentioned a fix whereby you use a pair of small pliers to crimp the silver connector (the smaller end I guess?) very slightly so that it gives it a little extra pressure against the connectors when inserting into the touchpad. Dont crimp it too much though or else you wont be able to insert it.
I guess you could open it back up a little with a screwdriver if you crimp too much.

Damn that's a good deal. We use the touchstone a ton and it's nice but we use the normal cable to charge our phones, works great.

Does anyone know where I can buy an OEM cable for the amaze? I find that normal micro usb cables fit pretty loose. But no one seems to stock the oem ones.
http://www.expansys-usa.com/htc-flyer-data-cable-dc-t500-extmicro-usb-12pin-white-209995/
They are the only ones selling it in the US and they don't sell it in black. I called HTC first and after being forwarded to the parts and repair department, they refused to send me one nor did they offer to sell me one direct. The person who I dealt with suggested Amazon.com but directed me to the wrong cable because he didn't know the difference between MicroUSB and ExtMicroUSB.
i got mine off ebay. i prefer these cables because they seem to charge the phone a lot quicker than the standard micro usb
Thanks for the link!
As for ebay, what did you search for? All I get is junk. Must not be searching for the right term.
I don't know about probablecauz69, but before buying the cable from Expansys, I looked on eBay and found the same DC T500 cable selling for $14.99, so it wasn't any cheaper.
To provide a follow up to questions about the charging speed, the ExtMicro USB cable does indeed charge significantly faster than a standard Micro-USB cable. It's not even close. I charged my battery from about 50% to full on a PC USB port in just under three hours with the ExtMicro USB cable, while it would slowly lose charge while connected to a USB port with a Micro-USB cable.
Using the wall charger, it's commonly said that it takes three hours to charge an Amaze's battery from empty to full with the stock ExtMicro USB cable. I can attest that while using the Micro-USB cable, it charged about 8-10% per hour with the phone in airplane mode, which meant that it took about 10-12 hours to go from empty to full.
While it's possible that the Micro-USB cable I was using was defective and I should have tested one of the other Micro-USB cables I had, my Motorola Micro-USB car charger didn't seem to do much better and its rated output is 950mA. I do feel better about using an OEM cable that fits and charges as expected now.
If you happen to get an Amaze second-hand, you have to make sure to get the ExtMicro USB cable if you want the phone to charge as quickly as it should.

It fits a lot better. Sadly contacting HTC doesn't help much as they don't sell them.

Please don't make a post just to say check your pm. Every user should get an instant email(if they have it set that way) or at the very least will see the notification when they log in. This is low level spamming imo and needs to stop.

I was looking for the OEM replacement cables too, which are surprisingly hard to find.
I found this seller on ebay selling the white EXTMICRO usb cables, $20 for TWO usb cables.
HTC OEM CABLES
They are marked as the HTC Flyer cable, but are identical to the cable I got with my Amaze. I was able to make a offer which he accepted for $12 + free shipping for the two cables, meaning each cable was only 6 bucks.
Cool thank you!!!
You can get another cable using your warranty. Just call HTC and ask them for a replacement cable.

What he said.
I called HTC to get a replacement battery a few weeks ago and asked them about the cable while I was at it. The first guy I talked to directed me to their HTC Accessories website, but the cable on sale was a regular MicroUSB, not the Ext-MicroUSB. He then transferred me to a girl to take care of my replacement order. While I was talking to her, I asked about the USB cable again, and she just threw it into my order for free, no questions asked.
Moral of the story: Don't waste $20. Give HTC a call and get it for free
I tried that at first and they said to contact mobilicity. Maybe I needed to ask a bit harder.
I called up today, didn't have the greatest luck. The chick didn't seem to know very much and said she had never heard about the free accessories under warranty.
Specifically, I wanted a new back case to see if it helps with poor reception when I am holding the phone.
She told me she would send me an email with details, but I never got a thing. Going to try again later.
I just got off of the phone with HTC Support and they are sending me another cable. I just asked them about getting a replacement cable and that mine was damaged, and the rep setup a ticket to ship one out for me free of charge.
This seller sells the EXTMicro USB cables for $ 9.65 a piece with free shipping, http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-HTC...Accessories&hash=item41651f69f2#ht_1608wt_905
I have an Amaze 4G now too and I'm going to order two extra cables, one for the car and an extra one just in case
My USB cable broke when my huge phone fell from the couch while charging and it landed on the cable. It only bent the cable, the phone is ok but I'm in need of another usb cable.
If anyone has an extra one please let me know

For the price your asking for someone to spend to mail one to you, you could have one or several ordered online. USB cables of all lengths are nearly free online. Start on amazon, where they start at $0.01 + Shipping
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref...1342450826&rh=k:micro+USB,n:172282&sort=price
Here's a cable for under $3 with free shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/ECOMGEAR-Micr...d=1342450971&sr=1-15&keywords=short+micro+USB
The short is best done on the charger side, not cable, but is easily done on either.

Cut insulation back from one of those cables. ID the data pins/wires (connected to center contacts), sort those. There's lots of diagrams of the internal of USB connectors, find one and try it out.

great place for any type of cables and fast shipping
