Please help, i bought my xda off ebay for £117.
it works great, but when i set it in the usb sync cradle and get pc to look for it, nothing is found on any serial/usb connections.
is there something im not doing right ?
i have not got the original xda drivers disks, so perhaps i need that ?
please help, as i cant use this till i get it sorted....
You need Active Sync from Mircosoft .......
Take a look at their side and download it....

ive done this, i even tried 3.5 and 3.6 to see if any difference.
but the pc can not detect the xda at all.
unknown usb device comes up on the screen when i connect it to the docking station however, so it appears to be connected to pc hardware wise..
ive tried it on 2 diff pcs to rule that out, and its still the same.
is there a specific driver i need on the windows machine, or is active sync ALL i need..
like.. whats on the official xda cd u get with it? no drivers or anything ?
is it possible the xda/docking station are faulty ?
re;
If you have windows Xp, u dont need any driver. For windows 98 etc, you may need a driver wceusb or so on the original cd that came with your xda. if you dont have, ask a friend.
Do a soft reset, plug in the xda to the usb cradle or lead, wait for the new hardware found message, it should say "htc blah blah", if it is saying unknown hardware try a different usb port, if you are plugging the cable to a usb hub, try plugging it direct to the pc usb port.
hi there, i originally had it plugged into a usb2 PCI 4 port card....
this did not work, so i then plugged it straight into the usb socket that was on the motherboard, but this too made no difference....
what i intend to do now is go to o2 shop and explain it to them and see if they will sell me an xda to usb cable .. not a cradle.. so i can eliminate that from the problem....
it SHOULD all work however, as it was bought from a shop that re sells used phones. ratings of over 5000 on ebay! lol
even have support on 0800 number.. ill give them a ring on monday and see what they can do for me.
thanks for all ur help.

XDA1 / 2
Have had exactly the same problem with computer (XP) not recognising the xda2 cradle through usb or seriel. After many hours of pulling at my hair I have found due to me having a PDA connected a year ago through a similar process, that your system registry still holds the details and that one conflicts against the other. The only way I could connect was to re-format my hard drive (computer) and it then worked first time a bore I know but it's worth it! GOOD LUCK....
i think the cradle was faulty in my case. either way, it doesnt matter now, as the xda is dead... :/ 2 days old..
returned to place i got it.
XDA1 /2
Sorry to hear that. I think you've been very unfortunate, the XDA 2 is a superb bit of machinery. I change my mobile/pda every 6 month and I think this is the best model to date. I've had the Sony Erricson P800 + P900 - both great phones etc. but not as good. Go out and buy yourself another one fast - if you can find one that is!
too dear.. o2 were able to get me one as an upgrade to my contract phone, but it was £350
too dear..
on ebay they are like 450 2nd hand..
ill wait a while.
is it MUCH better than the xda1?#
:shock: Hello :shock:
Welcome to my nightmare
I finally had a Haicom 204e GPS delivered to me in Pakistan and believe me it was no easy task. Any ways I am using the xda1 and the darn thing does not work. The GPS itself is fine but it seems it does not like the xda and does not talk with it. I cannot seem to open the COM 1 port to which it is connected.
Will really appericiate any advice on the subject

Have you disabled the infrared (beam) of your system?
This is required to get it working....

:lol: Thanks lumpistefan ur idea got it working.
I have a BT GPS BLuetooth and an XDA IIi device. I can pair the devices using the standard 0000 code, but it displays with a ? on my device (even though it said pairing sucessfull).
It should also say "this device has serial support, would you like to enable?" however it doesn't display. It worked fine on my Windows 2003 XDA II device, but since I now have the XDA IIi deviece with WM2003 SE it doesn't work.
Could someone please advise, its driving me nuts.
:roll:
Many thanks in advance.
Guess you can see that I am a newbie here!
My XDA II connector is dodgy and active sync only works via IR & Bluetooth.
Can I upgrade to Windows Mobile 5 this way - when trying to upgrade via IR the Upgrade software asks to make sure the XDA II is in the cradle.
All I can do with the cradle is charge my XDA II - and the upgrade stops before progressing asking to check the connections.
Something tells me the upgrade will only work via the cradle to PC (USB).
Anyone out their advise me......................
Also how can I verify if the upgrade I have is suited to my XDAII???
no the device need to get power in order to flash
also usb or serial is much more stable then ir / bluetooth
and less likely to crash in the middle of the upgrade and leave
your device hanging
Thanks, so basically I need to get the connector repaired first. Also I have purchased a multi DVD with numerous programs on it - Windows Mobile 5 is included - am I safe to use it?
you're free to spend your money as you see fit
but you can download wm2005 from www.buzzdev.net
for free it's not an official version but a leaked one
but it's the only version out for himalaya so that dvd collection
just charge you for free stuff
Hy Friends,

But my also "old" Laptop (Toshiba Tecra 500cdt, with Win98se) couldn´t find any Modem on those Ports. The Wallaby is connected but how do i get this cute little Toy to get recognized as an Modem?
