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
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....
HTH
Stefan
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?#
If anyone has this, PLEASE let me know. I can't seem to find it and have to downgrade from the rom image posted this morning. I can provide space for you to upload it. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon.
is it what are you looking for?
ruu113sku1.zip
No, i'm looking for the upgrade that, until yesterday, was at clubimate. The update that they posted today broke Ostia on my device, and I need to downgrade to get it back.
i think that i have it as well... have to check my another HD
where you want me to post it for you if I will find it?
See the private message I'll be sending you in a moment. Thanks!
Can you also send me a link to the ROM as well? I also upgraded to 1.66.00, but my GPS no longer works.
Trent
It is currently loading to your FTP
TO TRSC
I do not have a space on my FTP to send you a link... you should ask for it from dadarkmcse...
I am planning to upgrade to 1.66 within next 15-20 minutes... If you are looking to donwgrade - is it mean it is so bad or something just not working for you specifically?
Paul
Once its uploaded, it will be at http://bugjr.com/xda/ for as long as needed. The reason I'm downgrading is:
1. Pharos Ostia is closing when I try to use my SD GPS - I believe its fighting with the serial bluetooth for Com 4.
2. My GPRS hasn't worked all day, but I think this may be another issue as I've tried other ROMs.
Jon.
OK.. it is completed...
Did I understood correctly? you have Secure Digital GPS? I was thinking to buy it... still cannot make a decision
Is it good? Where did you buy it and with what kind of maps it is coming with?
I have one (and an extra i'm selling on ebay right now for $200 - see http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&category=64371&sspagename=STRK:MESSE:IT&rd=1 I see you're in canada, and I'd ship up there eventhough my listing says US only, if you're interested.). I have used it with Pharos's Ostia program and, as long as you have a clear view of the sky, it works nicely. In cars it needs to be as far forward on the windshield as possible to maintain a lock, but walking around outside it can maintain a lock just fine. I purchased mine for about $244 from Harmony Computers, and it took 3 weeks to ship (it was really annoying, resulting in me making numerous calls) so make sure they have it in stock and ready to ship whereever you buy.
THank you
let me see what is it and read reviews specifically on this model...
Get back to you in case will deside to buy it...
One thing for sure - i am planning to use ONLY in the car - i do not need it otherwise...
Thanks Jon, you have saved the day. :lol:
Let this be a warning to anyone with a bluetooth GPS...
Don't go near 1.66.00WWE until proper bluetooth serial support is introduced...
As I replied to carrierdevices:
When clubimate.com post new versions on the ROM (1.66.00WWE) on their web site, could they:
1. Make sure that the previous version is still available (and listed)
2. Tell people (who may own NAVMAN GPS devices) that the Bluetooth serial support is still not perfect, and maybe they should not consider upgrading until the full serial bluetooth stack is delivered, that allows you to choose a COM port to which a bluetooth device is paired - just like Pocket Bluetooth Tools 1012.

GPS and 1.66.00WWE
THANK YOU ALL for posting the 1.52 ROM "update". I just purchased my iMATE and it came shipped with 1.66.00WWE and radio version 1.10. I purchased (the next day), a Royaltek BlueGPS receiver based on rav reviews, only to find out that I could bond to the iMATE, but couldn't get it to handshake with the iMATE (no blue light on the GPS, no software recognition of the device).
I then researched, and found all over the web, that 1.66.00WWE doesn't work with GPS, and that the Pocket Bluetooth Tools app that Tobias put out still doesn't help.
Then I found out that this will work with 1.52 and the above app. Problem was, until I found this forum with the link, I couldn't find 1.52 ANYWHERE!
THANK YOU ALL! Now, if anyone wants to... can you tell me what I'm going to "lose" by going to 1.52 (ie, what did 1.66 supposedly fix/improve?).
-Kevin.
I spoke too soon
Well, I just d/l'd and tried to install the 1.52 "downgrade" on my iMATE.
It got to the point of "Erasing ROM", sat there for a few minutes, and then aborted out... the screen flashed so fast, I couldn't see what it said. Then, when I tried to rerun it, I got:
"ERROR 100: MODEL ID ERROR 8-N-PH-PH-PH
The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your pocketpc. Please check the vendor website and download the correct rom update."
Scared the crap outta me... fortunately, I was able to use the 1.66 upgrade to restore back to 1.66.
Did any of you have this problem?
-Kevin.
I already saw this kind of messages on forum. It was said that 1.66 is not downgradable.... i am not sure if it is true, since I downgraded from I-Mate 1.66 to O2 1.60
Help
I am new to the XDA II, i just purchased a bluetooth GPS device Polstsr PBT111, offered as working with XDAii usual story.
The device will pair without any problems.
However any attempt to open a serial port, nothing happens(except the odd unit reset). A LED on the unit is supposed to come on steady instead of flashing. The supplied software for PDA tester does not open the serial port. Are there any ways to configure a serial port on the XDAII, this seems to be the problem?( like system manager on a PC). I have pocket PC2003 rom version 1.03.00 USA
I have contacted the supplier and manufacturer but as yet no reply. I may have a faulty unit, but without another unit to try or some sesible ideas I am a little stuck. Any help gratefully accepted.
I think you have to install BthTools : http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
or upgrade to 1.72
OS prior to 1.72 don't allow to choose a serial port to a bluetooth connection, that's where bthtools comes in
Thank you for the info, works a treat.
Next challenge is upgrade the ROM to 1.72?
I would definitely recommend an upgrade to 1.72 OS and 1.17 Radio, especially when you want to make use of Bluetooth.
mikecheney,
I can confirm 1.72 and the Polstar BT111 work fine for me with TomTom3 using just the supplied MS BT stack. Just had to pair the devices, then TT picks it up using its own 'Bluetooth GPS' config. pm me if you're having any grief.
1.72 provides the COM4/5 option for bt which was greyed out before in 1.66. This is part of what edsub refers to. With 1.72 you don't need Pocket Bluetooth Tools.
You can upgrade the ROM at the o2.co.uk xda home page.
cheers,
Alex.
Pharos Bluetooth GPS Receiver
Hi!
It looks to me like this is what I need.
I just purchased a Bluetooth GPS Receiver (iGPS-360) from Pharos. The problem is that I couldn't get it to work on my XDA2.
Do you think upgrading to ROM 1.72 will solve my problem?
If so, how do I upgrade to ROM 1.72 ... I need step-by-step instructions ... any links to it?
I'd appreciate your help

All mymobiler threads are a little old so here's a new one.
I've worked with MM on Win CE on the iPaq and it was great therefore real happy when this week found out the MM for Android.
I have the G-tab with Mountain Laurel and BOUGHT ROOTED. My desktop is runing W7
The tablet connects to my desktop using WiFi with no problems and vice versa using the USB cable but for the life of me I can't connect using MyMobiler.
Their website says unknown sources should be allowed but I can't find that setting on my G-Tab - please, any help from anyone? Elsewhere, it was suggested I upgrade to Flashback - H'comb but I don't know how to do that I'm handicapped at that level.
Finally, it also says to install a USB driver but if I am already able to connect via USB I am presuming I don't need to.
Can it be possible that not one person is able to answer or make a comment in approx. 2 weeks.
Thanks
