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?#
hello,everybody:
I bought a plannex ue-200tx-g usb-10/100baset adapter,
link:http://www.planex.co.jp/company/release/20071214_ue-200txgp.shtml
and
http://www.planex.co.jp/product/game/ue-200tx-g/
(I bought this)
and finally, I can use a net cable to surf the web !!!! Wonderful.
There are two ways I had tried to connect the adapter with athena.
1. Use a 4-in-1 cable. I connect the net cable with athena through a 4-in-1 cable, and it works.
2. Use a dock station. Of course, it works too.
There are two type of adapters on the plannex webpage, one is ue-200tx-g(I bought this), the other is ue-200txgp. There is no difference between these two adapters. The ue-200txgp is comprised one ue-200tx-g adapter, one Y-usb cable and one ac-adapter.
So if you want to buy the usb-10/100baset adapter, i advice you just buy a ue-200tx-g, because without the Y-usb cable and the ac-adapter, athena can surf net well. But in advance, you should have a 4-in-1 cable or a dock station.
BTW, you should install a driver first. Here is the link : http://www.planex.co.jp/support/download/usb/ue-200tx-g.shtml
if you have other type of usb-10/100baset adapter (for Palmchen, you may try this), try this driver.
Use a net cable to surf net on athena is faster than other ways(3g,wi-fi,activsync..).

hello,every:
Does any know that usb-rj45 cable?? One end is usb, the other is rj-45. it has the function like a network card.
does anybody use such a cable on athena to see if it works??
if it works, we can use athena to surf the web by network cable.
the following link is one kind of such cables:

The link is to some Japan or so page. I have a small difficulty to read it, but anyway, it is probably impossible, because each of such USB device would need a driver to be installed in our WM6 device. I am sure, the device has a driver but for standard PC (Windows or Linuks or whatever), but they probably did not provide drivers for Windows Mobile 6, so no joy.
if you found the chinese web page hard to read, plz refer the following ebay webpage:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-TO-LAN-RJ45...kparms=72:552|39:1|65:12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
it is the same thing as on the chinese webpage.
I initially had the same thought - the lack of a driver would be a problem. Looking at the English site, I'm sure of it now:
"Plug and play installation in Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP"
But not WM.

I bought it and tried to use it at my ameo.
after connetion on USB the Ameo found a new device, but no device-driver could I offer.
nothing was accepted.
If a devicedriver available, I could make the next test...
Does anyone know the pda "sharp em one", here is the link:
http://bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=572285&extra=page=1&area=&page=7
I noticed that the "em one" can use a usb-10base/100base-T adapter to surf the web. Here is the link of the two types of the adapter:
http://www.planex.co.jp/company/release/20071214_ue-200txgp.shtml3
http://buffalo.jp/products/catalog/item/l/lua-ktx/index.html
The two adapters use realtek RTL-8150 chip.
It's not easy for me to buy such adapters.
If someone would like to test if the athena could use usb-10base-T adapter to surf the web, plz consider what I give above. Maybe these kinds of adapter could be used on athena.
If anybody has any trouble with this way of surfing web, plz post ur question on the thread.
Glad to see there is a solution that works. Ironically, I could have used this last week. I was at a resort which did not have wifi (?!), only ethernet in each room. So I was out of luck...

yes - I have a question:
I've bought a USB-LAN adapter like a DM9601. ( DaviCom-DM9601 )
I've found driver for WINCE 30
http://www.driverskit.com/freedownload/Net_Card/Davicom/DM9601_Network_1_90_02_0312_WHQL/17594.html
works fine on my desktop / Notebook with WindowsXP (and WindowsXP driver).
But If I try to install it on my Ameo, connect over USB cable, the Ameo pop up with the question : where are the driver.
I've told him the location, the name, anything else, but the Ameo couldn't catch the driver and didn't use the USB-LAN Adapter.
I don't know what's not in the right way. Could you help ?

Besides UE-200tx-g, I don't know whether other USB-LAN adapter can be used on athena.
I have a question, had you installed the driver I provide above?? Link:
http://www.planex.co.jp/support/download/usb/ue-200tx-g.shtml
(In the window mobile section,click download, then click the [同意] button, and it will download automatically, filename:UE-200tx-g_v1003.zip).
This driver is for UE-200tx-g, I don't know if the driver only support for specific adapter or can be used on all kinds of USB-LAN adapter. Because I don't have other kind of adapter, I can't try. But you can try this driver with your DM9601. If the driver doesn't work for your DM9601, maybe you should buy a UE-200tx-g.

okay - I've tried.
download the cab file - I can't speak/read japan ;-) - with your instructions, very good.
Installed cab file on Ameo and tried to use it; connect the USB Network on Ameo.
Ameo installation windows popped up and ask for a device driver (cab file is not compatible with DM9601).
okay, if not compatible, I have the installation files of the UE-200tx-g adapter.
Now I'm trying to buy an adapter (I'm from germany).
Found it in Amazon.com and try to order one. But Amazon told me, he want deliver it only in USA or Kanada, not to germany.
Now I'm searching over google about an UE-200tx-g adapter. Found many adapter in jp/tw7 and so on - but that's I couldn't read.
What a pity - I have a USB-Lan Adapter, not working on PDA and ready device-driver and couldn't buy it over web ...
could anybody help me ?

Thanks to pigeonking's direction of using rj45 network adapter on x7500. His suggestion have been tried out on my machine. I bought two eu-200tx-g adapter this week, one was bought on 3C shopping center, the other one was bought on PCI-Direct website, that is 628 NT dollars. So I still have one brand new eu-200tx-g adapter, do you want it?
If you want, we can discuss the price and way to deliver. I live in Taiwan.

would be nice ..
could we go over paypal ? add the adapter, shipping costs and your own costs together and send me your email address with the price. I will send you my address and the money over paypal. okay ?
waiting for a Private Message ...
???
Anyway, what's the point in ppc internet wire connection ? If you can download the drivers on your main PC, use it !!! anyway I'll be very happy to get a cable connection with my athena, just to say I can...
Im from Australia, would love to buy one of em....but were so close to asia and no one wants to ship
And has anyone found that it works?, or are they still trying stuff out? So what speeds do you get? 100mbps or 1gbps?
Dear Vico100,
I can help you to buy UE-200tx-g network adapter in Taiwan.
If you need it, we can deal through paypal. Just send me private message
if you need my help. And I will send you the total price through paypal.com.
maybe it is just me, but, why use a RJ45 to USB adapter to browse the net, when you already have Wi Fi and 3G , and Bluetooth for the internet?
even in a high secured office with no Wi Fi, you can still do 3G
and if you are in a secured office, chances are you wont be able to get onto the network anyways using the RJ45
the only way this will work is in an unsecured network, for you to sign on, and not get access denied to the router/switch
and probably too cheap to not want to use the 3G / Edge to go online.
i wouldn't want to carry so much extra stuff with me to be able to go online using a RJ45 when i go out with my phone
Hello, i've got a problem with my HTC Hero.
I searched the entire forum but i couldn't find an answer to my problem
I managed to connect to the internet trough my Hero on my laptop when fixing the driver (known problem), it worked perfect.
The only problem i encounter is that tethering is only working once with the driver. when I disconnect my Hero from my laptop, and reconnect again, the only thing to get tethering working again, is to reinstall the driver.
after that i rooted my phone and tried wireless thetering, it did'nt work at all. I could see my Hero as a wireless router (or something like that) and i could see other wireless computers. but i didn't manage to get the thing working online..
when connected, i can still use my hero to go online but my laptop fails.
I'm not in the position to check on another laptop, so i cannot test wheter it is the Hero's problem or my laptop's.
please help.

I doubt anyone can do much until you've determined whether or not your laptop is at fault here! It does very much sound like a PC rather than Hero issue to me.
Have you tried installing a Modaco ROM to see if this helps?
Regards,
Dave
I just had the opportunity to check it on another laptop. Still got the same problem.. at the end of the week i'll try another ROM.. if that doesn't work.... i'll try out the flying capacity of the hero.
is there any one know?

Tried it using an aircard but android only picks up the usb stick.
I dont know if it actually help but I saw this on tech republic when they open the tablet.
3G-ready motherboard and case: Sony left an open spot on the motherboard and inside the case for a 3G or 4G card. The internal mounting bracket even has screw holes for it.
Dont know if it is possible to add an internal modem or install driver for that.

At least worked for me. It disables other functions of USB 3G sticks and leave them to be acting only as 3G modem, which then tablet recognizes.
Is there anything new? I have got rooted ICS on my tablet. Is it possible to use 3G USB Modem on my tablet? I have got 2 USB-Modems. The first is ZTE K3565-Z and the second is Option 4G Systems XS Stick P14. Is there a solution?

If darkjesus's method didn't work, then I'm not sure anything will. These modems are not easy to work on a lighter system like Android.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, of course.
In a german forum, i found an app called "UMTS Manager". With this app you can connect with 3G Networks with some Huawei-Sticks and maybe some other devices, too. They use mode-switch to switch device mode to modem only and then it works for them. Here's the link:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/asus-ee...-stick-zum-laufen-kriegen-17.html#post3236187
Of course, a lot of pages But some of them got ZTE K3565-Z working. For me it doensn't. Maybe we can find a solution
I found the reason, why it does not work on Tablet S. Our Tablet does not create ttyUSB*-devices when attaching 3G Modem to the Tablet. Normally it creates ttyUSB*-devices, attaches the Modem there and you are able to connect. I think it's a kernel issue or Sony modified the kernel. But with Custom Rom and Kernel which has got this "feature" it is possible to connect via 3G Modem. Maybe one of us could create this custom Rom..
So how?

You will have better success looking for a portable 3G-to-WiFi hotspot device. Not only will you not have to worry about installing USB modem drivers, the device will work with a non-rooted tablet. Also, if you have a 3G smart phone, look into WiFi tethering.
