Anyone know where to get a "mini usb" cable to Serial port?.
Sound crazy.... but would like to use my TP2 to connect to my server serial port like as console.
interesting - maybe newer models still have an UART option ... I could use it as well.
Okay finally I found one here on this website
http://www.gridconnect.com/blueportxp.html
not sure it will work :>
no it most likely won't - to make it work, it would need USB-host functionality enabled+driver, USB<>RS232 is not a part of USB HID standard. (I know because I am the person that made "Carbuttons")
Hmm... Make sense...thanks for the advice,... I guess I need to look around again.
you can take a bluetooth-serial Adapter like this
Pico PLUG Bluetooth Adapter Stick Parallel / Seriel
it works fine with my MDA III

Interesting.. can you provides a link where I can get this? Try to google it, found a few, not sure same as the one you are using? Cos I really want to get something that tested working before i get it.
Thanks again

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 :
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/...pfam=PDA Accessories&poid=209738&Adoid=140389
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
is it possible to connect a usb hard disk with a usb sync n charge cable? it would be neat to connect a 320gb hd to a pocket pc u know?!!

im looking for a 22-pin to female usb conn 4 a cheap destinator gps. anyone know if its posible to use above cable ??
I was under the impression that in order to connect a PDA to a USB device the PDA must have USB Host capabilities. I was not aware that the BA has this, although this advert seems to imply that it does. If someone has already done this then please let us know the outcome. I think I speak for many when I say inquiring minds want to know.

i think that cable might as well work with a hard disk. so eager to buy but way beyond my reach. i'm in philippines. wuldn't wanna risk anythin' when i buy somethin' online u know. the cost cud even go up just to include import taxes, etc.... thnks for the heds up though
Anyone tried this yet?
Just wanted to touch base to see if there potentially may be any interest in something like this? I have one on the way for review and to see if they even work with our gTab. Rumor was the price point was going to be around $20 - $25.
When I get it tested I will post the findings and see what you guys think!
[EDIT] - so far I can't get it to work. I've tried just throwing it in while it's on as well as having it powered down (like the dock) to allow the DNS to propagate. No dice so far. I'll check with the supplier to see if there is an app to make it work.

Interested in outcome but not really looking to buy. WiFi is solid enough and with existing dock if I need LAN (haven't yet) I have it along with the HDMI and other.
Thanks!
When would you use this?
I'm trying to imagine a time it would come in handy. Ideas?
Maybe it uses a kernel module that isn't included in your kernel. I don't know what ROM/kernel you are using (I use stock), but possibly the pl2303 module. If you have a Linux PC handy, you can check for some info. Before plugging it into the Linux box, open a terminal and run this command:
Code:
tail -f /var/log/messages
Then plug it in, and see what it tells you. Use Ctrl + c to end it.
You can also check which modules are loaded with this command, new modules are at the top of the list:
Code:
lsmod
I also am not sure if I would ever use something like that. My ZT-180 came with something similar, but with a miniUSB end, and I have never found the need to even try it.

Where hardware is related, a VM may not give the needed results. That is because a VM may use it's own drivers.
If you have an Ubuntu installation CD, you can boot that as a live CD. It will run only on system memory, so it may be a bit laggy. That will work just like an installed Linux system.
Any progress on this?
I am very interested to find a USB to ethernet adapter for my Gtab. I do a lot of networking with switchs and ISP providers. It would be awesome if this little USB device would work. Any updates?
probably driver related
This looks like one of the adaptors that have been around for the Wii console for a while.
Clemsyn's kernel has a bunch of USB drivers added that are removed (or are back level) in the stock Viewsonic kernel. I suggest that you give it a go.
Pershoot's kernel is a more involved process to select the bits that you want. So I'd start by trying Clemsyn's first.

I have a dell laptop that I recently dropped. The wireless stopped working. Thankfully, everything else seems fine. I had to go out and buy a wireless usb adapter.
>>I have a dell laptop that I recently dropped. The wireless stopped working.
Did you pop open the panel on the bottom and check to see if the little wifi riser card didn't just pop out of its slot?
May not apply in your case, but sometimes the Modem/LAN/Wifi is on a little card that plugs into a header on the motherboard. There's usually an access panel on the bottom to get at it - check that it's properly seated and all connectors are secure, etc.
You can also usually swap them out if they die. Check Ebay.

I could see this being handy for a road warrier to watch streamed content in a hotel if he or she didn't want to bring the heavier dock along. Often time wifi is sketchy at best in some locations but many hotels were wired with CAT5 to each room and have a cord curled up in the desk. I often break out my CAT5 adapter to string two cords together so my laptop can rest on the bed and I have faster speeds (and frankly a more secure connection with my VPN) while resting against the many pillows. Beats sitting at the desk with the dock propped up.
Let us know how you make out getting this to work.
Anyone get this to work? I just ordered a gtab and it would be great to have a wired ethernet port for configuring many of the network devices I deal with on a daily basis.

Thank you. I would really appreciate it.
You have to edit a file to enable the ethernet.

*Edit* My apologies. This is a fix for the Malata dock w/ethernet. No idea if it works for the adapter or not.
Alternative usb/lan adapter
I found a USB/LAN adapter for android tablets on euogo dot com for $10. Do a search for this item number: TPGA-ULNA
If you do a google search, "usb to lan adapter for android", many other brands / models also appear.
Does anyone think any of them will work with the Gtab?
Considering the rumor that the dock may be discontinued and that an HDMI cable is on the way, a USB/LAN adapter for the Gtab would be easier to carry around than the dock / power adapter combo.
Warning: 1st time poster = NOOB. Pls. be kind.
You may want to check my posts on making Ethernet on the Dock work. If the device works at all, it should be the same process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14367749&postcount=41
I could use this at work where they won't allow wireless connections.
As network admin, I will definitely love to have opportunity to connect my tablet to LAN network.
Pretty often it happens, that I am installing new WiFi routers, so for initial config, I need to grab my 17" laptop and connect by cable. It would be much more comfortable to just use my tablet ;-)

Did it work before you flashed angelrom?
i didnt try it before my friend....today i bought the converter from micro usb to usb......so...is there any service that maybe did not is enable in the custom rom....and cant run the usb host....
It's unlikely that it's the ROM, as this is a feature that many people use.
It may be that what you are trying to use simply doesn't work. Do you have a USB mouse you could try? Also, is the device that you are connecting powered, or does it expect power from the USB connection?
well...i connect 3 devices... a keyboard...a mouse...and a usb strage stick....
and no led...power on...of the devices
In that case, I suggest you ask on the thread where you got the ROM. Have you already searched that thread to see if anyone else has the same problem?
i did a quick search...but i didnt find anything important...well ok my friend thx....

don't bother checking with more devices or posting in the rom thread, you just bought the wrong cable for otg purposes.
a simple converter from micro usb to usb won't do, the sgs2 discovers connected devices by the resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the micro usb plug inserted, and afaik, a usb otg cable needs a 200k resistor (if you decide to weld one in yourself, double check the number against other threads, i am not sure about that). simple converters, adapters and even some "usb otg" marked cables don't have a resistor in there.
and if the correct resistor is present in the plug, the device should discover the cable when plugged in, and then you can connect any device afterwards and get another notification. (as is seen in the usb otg video in the accessories section.)
i hope you did not pay too much on that cable, or have the possibility to return it for a refund or exchange, because yours has little to no known uses.
Thanks Chef, I didn't know that. That's the "something new" that I learnt today
thx my friend..i give 4 euro for this ****...but its ok....

Has anyone been able to get usb audio working on the S3? Such as connecting it to a car dock or usb dac? If you have had success, can you list your audio device, firmware and kernel versions.
thanks
Remember to turn it on "Dock sound"
Hi,
I've been using USB audio with Revolution HD and also Omega. Both of these ROMs offer a very stock experience but both are good.
Remember you have to go to "System settings" > "Accessory" and tick "Dock sound" in order to output audio through the USB while connected to a recognised dock.
I would like to know if there are any JB kernels that support dock audio yet as the option is greyed out in all JB ROMs that I've tried.
thanks for the hint, but unfortunately its a no go for me. Im trying to get a pico dac/amp to work with my s3 but its been an uphill battle.

The HeadAmp Pico USB DAC/amp is confirmed working by people on both the international and USB variants of the S3. You're sure you have a USB OTG cable?
My PICO should arrive next week, should also have a red AT&T S3 to go with my white international one by then too, will let you know how I get on.

No worries, will post here and there.
In the meantime I would see if you can try another USB OTG cable, since nnotis definitely has this working on his S3. He says it sometimes takes a couple of connection attempts though, but I presume you've tried all permutations of connection ordering etc.
RE: Bluetooth, I think you misunderstand what the OP is trying to do here.
So using the otg cable and a male to male usb cable I can get the sgs3 to output audio to my usb car stereo?

I don't know why few ROM don't have "accessories" menu . So, there's no usb sound (for dock use).
If you want usb sound, you have to edit /system/etc/audio_poilcy.conf and add |AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_DGTL_DOCK_HEADSET at the end of devices under audio_hw_modules {
primary {
outputs {
