Does anyone know where I can buy the plug that plugs into the bottom connector for an XDAIIs?
I've asked everyone I can think of, searched Google, Maplin(UK) and Expansys and I can't find one.
It's probably because I don't know the correct name for it!
Ideally, I'd like one that has all 22 connections and even cables attached - they look really hard to solder onto by hand!
Any information would be greatfully received :lol:
Thanks

http://www.gomadic.com/connectors.html sells connectors
Wallaby, Himalaya are compatible with HP iPAQ Connector Plug Assembly (19/22/38/39/41/43/51/54/5500 Series)
but read that the plug of BlueAngel is not exactly the same.
I purchased an XDA II car charger from the O2 shop in Manchester - it came with a plug that works fine with my XDA2s - have used it on the car charger and on the supplied power lead - charges fine.
When I got my IIs, it CAME with the plug already, any standard car charger can plug right into that plug and then the IIs... You sure you guys didn't get it?????
I think you mis-understood me - I'll try again!
I have developed a complete installed car kit for XDA, XDAII and IIs that does the following.
Mutes stereo when in call and puts all sound to front speakers
Can put navigation commands through the stereo
Hooks up to external microphone
Has PS2 (Holux) and RJ11 (TomTom and Leadtek) GPS connections
Charges device
I'm trying to get hold of a connector with 22 connections because I have one problem left.
To switch the car kit on, I either need a 5V feed from the device OR need to be able to put 5V in on one pin and get 5V out of another.
If anyone can help with either the connector or letting me know which pins I might be able to use send me a mail please
Thanks

have you tried RS componets or CPC.?
I found a very nice & Slim universal charger on Kensington's site for Notebook, PSP, Ipod (yes I have all this stuff in my backpack...), but a tip for hermes seems to be missing.
Does anybody now a similr device with Hermes tip too?

Basically anything with a mini-USB plug will work.
That's not been my experience. If it connects something to the data pins it will work, if not, it won't charge correctly.
I used my old Motorola V3 wall charger to charge mine for a while, worked fine - thats a standard mini-USB connection. Also used a Motorola V3 car charger, and I've just bought a Brodit car cradle for my device which has a fixed mini-USB which works fine?

Interesting. We've found that unless the charger has pins 4 and 5 bridged ('unused pin' to 'ground') on the mini usb end then the hermes will act strangely. It will start charging the first time you insert but then it might stop and then it won't charge again until you reset it.
The pin doesnt need to be bridged when theres a data source like a pc on the other the end.
Could you check to see if your chargers have those pins bridged or not?

I have not been doing any kind of research about bridging those pins because I just read about it first time, but my experience about charging problems are very similar to yours. My TyTN won't charge normally via USB-hub or car-adaptor, and after failing the charging process, it won't start charging again. Resetting helps after this, but I think that also waiting resets the situation. But that I'm not so sure about.
When I connect it directly to PC, it works just fine.
If bridging those pins helps, my car charging problems are wiped out

Hahah not really, ever tried getting to those pins? They're tiny!

Yes, they are tiny at the other end, but bigger at the other
And if that causes still problems, cutting the wire is not so big deal either, then you can easily connect wires together

Except that pin 4 doesn't have a wire connected to it (only 1,2,3,5) because the other end only has 4 pins

Damn .. then it's not so easy.
But I guess it's still possible, without totally breaking the plug. I hope ...
Interesting. That is exactly the issues I see using a 12V/USB adapter and cable in my car. Well hopefully in 2-3 months when my free vehicle charger comes from Cingular it will have the pins bridged and work properly!!!!
I wonder if the bridged pins and data cause the bluetooth to turn off after a period of time. I see that happen on my phone often when its connected and charging. But disconnected from the 12V/USB charger the BT stays on.
Thanks for testing and posting.
I had this exact problem with my m5000 to, i use a ipod battery extender as a backup for my m3100 as i regularaly find the need for extra power.
Quick work around for this problem is to power down completely by holding the power button. Then plug it in while turned off, wait for charging light to go orange then switch back on, will continue charging then until plug is removed.

V3
So, I don't understand: in the end, does it work or not with an adapter for V3?
If yes I could by that...

If it helps any, I use an iGo universal power adaptor (available from Radio Shack and Expansys) which uses the iTips style device-specific tips. This is very similar to the Kensington system, although I believe the two are now incompatible.
Tip A53 (which is also designed for AudioVox phones) works well for me with my T-Mobile MDA Vario II.

need expetise and advise
my ATOM cannot charge and cannot connect via activesync
battery and usd cable and power charger are proven OK, tested with other Atom , it works
now suspect mini usb port problem or software or other hardware problem
when i hook up charger or usb cable , the red light on for a while and off
i can see the charging logo on for a while, i go to POWER screen, can see charging but just a while only
tell me all possbile solution
million thanks
This could be hardware error...the usb port...
But...try it with carefully plug the usb cable, slowly...don't pull it to end of device slot...
Just untill the red light of battery charging turned on...then leave it...
hope this help...
cmiiw
same problem..
i had this problem recently as well, mine turned out the usb sockets on one of my notebooks couldn't cope with the current being pulled to charge and so shut themselves down stopping the charging after a few seconds. i found a mains to usb charger plugged it in and left it for an hour and all was ok again. if you don't have a mains charger try one of the dual usb to mini leads you get with some external drives, the one i tried seems to spread the load enough to charge the device
hope its something as simple as this for you as well
the atom series from quanta have a lousy usb port and ear piece component used
both of these component need to be hot air-ed out of the board in order to do replacement.
the usb port will be easily fallen off from the board due to poor soldering or mis-used by user.
the ear piece 2.5mm jack will be spoilt when frequently used and headset unplugging from device. when faulty, the device will think that the headset is still inserted & do not project the sound out during a call from normal hearing speaker (user can only use bluetooth headset to do calls) the mic will not work too if loudspeaker mode is on.
my 2cents, find someone skilled to replace them if they still can find the component in market & u think its worth servicing or buy another model.
i have a pioneer premier that worked flawlessly with my iphone. it has 2 usb inputs, and aux in. I WANT TO CONNECT VIA USB. Please dont offer advise about bluetooth or headphone jack.
Normally, if i plug the phone into the laptop, i can choose all the options like charge only, mount as disk drive, etc. When i plug the phone into the wall outlet, i do not get any options, it just charges. When i plug it into the car stereo usb, it just charges, and i dont get any options to turn on mount as hard drive.
does anyone know how i can "force" it to mount as a hard drive, or how the phone actually knows its a laptop and an outlet? maybe i can jumper some wires, or something.
thanks
I too would like to know this

no, not really. im going to have to post about it in the bamf thread...
Hey guys,
I'm using my tablet in my car and have it connected to a Kenwood radio which has two USB ports. The radio can recognize the android device and changes automatically to USB as an input and then my steering wheel controls don't work anymore.
So as a workaround I bought an USB adapter which only connects the power pins. But with this adapter, the tablet is not charging. The cable itself is working as intended with another phone, so it has to be something special about the tablet.
Does anybody know if there is a way to use a data connection via USB to only give power to the Z2 tablet?
Man, somtimes I'm just an incredible idiot. The Xperia Z2 Tablet has a dedicated charging port at the bottom for which I already have a cable. So, I'm going to use that.
Sometimes the solution is so damn obvious
