Hi all,
So I travelled to London for Windows Server 2003 exams. Wanting to travel light, I brought my new JAVO EDGE sync and charge cable with me. I should have tested it as it's not functioning to charge the device! This is a known issue and I read the posts about how to modify the cable. However I'm in a hotel in the evenings and have no access to solder etc.
Does any local person reading the board know where I can buy a charger or a functioning sync and charge cable? If I bought an iPAQ sycn/charge lead would that work? I was thinking that the iPAQ leads are probably available at Dixons or something on Oxford Street as that's also close to the hotel.
Anyway, I'm kinda stuck. Not enough power left to even back up the device, phone is switched off at this point and I'm also uncontactable! Really, help!
Thanks
Howard
best to get yourself down to a local O2 shop. Post the postcode of the hotel (or send it only to me if you are worried) then I can look one up for you. Any help?
Will they have the accessories in Stock?
I don't actually know the postcode, but the nearest tube station to my hotel is Bond Street. Typical tourist in that sense sorry.
Thanks for your help, I'm somewhat relieved to know that I might not actually lost all my data!
Cheers
Do NOT use the ipaq charger, it may kill your xda, the wiring is different although the connections are the same, you need to do a backup just in case you dont get a charger, the Orange SPV charger will work with it also.
Woah! Thanks for that.
I'll try the O2 shops on the way back to the hotel and hope that I can get something to work.
Thanks
Howard
Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I went to an O2 shop on Oxford St. and they directed me to the Flagship store right opposite Bond Street Station. Anyway, they had lots of accessories there, and I ended up buying a charger and the connector. 30 quids Sterling! I should file a suit against JavoEdge for misrepresenting their products.
Cheerio

Any hadware pro`s out there?
Somehow I have managed to damage the contact strip on the bottom of the phone. It will not charge in the cradle, but the battery charges in the cradle. Sync using the cradle is OK. I think it needs a new connector strip. Does anyone know if this is a "beyond economical repair" type of problem, or have any ideas how to approach this. I could take it to an O2 shop for a quote, but that may take weeks, and besides its an unlocked phone, and they might not be 2 impressed!!!
Thanks,
Justin
I had the same problem. Sent it to the XDA service centre
they said it wasn't covered by the waranty
Cost about £70 to get it repaired
tel 0808 100 3427
Thanks
just found out £104
I also have the same problem mate. Not quite sure how I bent it though.
I managed a small repair, but I still have to angle the charger slightly to get it on. Everything still works for at the moment, so I don't think that I will get it repaired.
Nearly forgot, this is my first post so hello to everyone!
i had the same problem
they have send it away (where i bought it (camera/phone shop) ) and i got a new motherboard

I have replaced my Connector with a usb socket
wow!
This is really amazing! Planning to 2 it with mi BA.
Hope it works... :roll:
now if only one of those bad boys carried an audio signal we'd be in business for a nice car docking station!
Hi
My toddler has yanked my XdaII whilst it was plugged into the DC charger adapter. The USB/charging socket at the base of the XdaII has broken.
The thin PCB inside the socket moves up and down freely if you shake it. Hence it wont charge any longer, or connect via USB.
Does anyone know if someone like myself, with no electronics experience would be able to fix it? Is it a superglue case!
Otherwise, how much could i flog it for, given everything else is in working order?
many thanks for any assistance...
I had similar problem last year.
Sent it to:
XDA SERVICE CENTRE
A-NOVO RADIOPHONE UK
VULCAN ROAD NORTH
NORWICH
NR6 6AQ
Tel: 01603 269901
and got it fixed for about £70.
hi im new and have a quick query im desperate for an xdaII and it seems ive found a bargain the problem is the connector on the base of the xdaII is not working so the phone will not charge and will not sync with pc on the cradle,battery has to be charged seperate from the pda,ive heard this is a common fault but is it easy to repair as i obviously would like to be able to charge it but more importantly i want to use it with a wired gps cradle for my tom tom navigator.
It all depends on how badly the port is broken.
Here is a page that shows diagrams ofthe connection pins, hopefully it will help you repair it.

thanks ive been reading through any old topics i could find and i think my best bet is to just wait and buy a fully working unit.cheers
well happy to say ive now purchased an spv m1000 which is only a month old so im very pleased,and ill be visiting here lots to learn how to use it to its full potential.
I am looking at buying an imate ultimate but there seems to be some issues with charging it while the Tv out is connected....
I want to be able to display my tomtom on an external screen that i have in my car, it is much bigger than a phone screen.....
I have been led to believe that i cannot charge the phone while i am using tomtom which is pretty useless really.....
Is anybody aware if there are any ways around this...?? Is there a cable that can be bought or made up....??
Is there any way to identify what pins do what and how to make up a cable...??
Can 11 pin usb ends be purchased from anywhere to make a cable....???

Sorry for the late response. Had not noticed your post before. The TV-out cable, which is included in the 9502 package, already allows its battery to be charged whilst connected to the TV/projector.
Just my 2 cents...
Cheers!
Carlos
Hi Carlos.....
Hadn't checked back until just now........
Thanks for your response though.................
This means i can use it for my sat-nav without the phone going flat.......!!
Thanks for replying, dead chuffed now......... Can you tell.......!!

You're welcome, Roger! Some pieces of advices: if you decide to buy an i-mate 9502, register it on www.imate.com right away, in order to be allowed to use their i-Q services (very useful, IMHO), then dowload their official WM6.1 v1.77 ROM from there, and flash it on your device.
You see, although I've come from a much beloved HTC Universal (O2 Xda Exec flavoured), I have never regreted having shifted to the 9502.
Cheers!
Carlos
yes the tv-out cable is included in the package. The TV-Out feature works perfect and there is still a way to plug your charger on.
there is also an option (Start -> Settings -> System -> TV Out) for NTSC and PAL tv systems. Checked on PAL and works...

this is another response to an ovalelephant subscriber,
"Btw here is the response I got from in4dealz, looks like the words is
spreading
hi,dear
sorry for troubled u
could u try this way?
As for the wifi. The problem is not the ROM. It is because the patch
antenna is inside very close to the board and TV, and noise from TV is
hurting the signal strength.
Now if you take the case off the ug802 you will see the patch antenna
taped to the inside cover with a VERY long wire! Almost 1 foot wire
length.
You can pull out the patch antenna and reclose the case. Now antenna
can be placed much farther from the ug802 and TV and gets much better
signal."
seller sold knowing of wifi issues and continues to sell the item
will issue refund, too bad it costs more to send back to china then
buy another product.
then,why would i want to trust a guy that just cheated me?

And someone who told you to void the warranty by opening the case?
I had wifi issues but my solution was installing finless 1.4 custom rom, I then plugged it in to the apple ipad 10w usb charger and now my wifi works most of the time. I also have a logitech powered usb hub for my mouse and keyboard so it doesnt strain internal usb.
Not sure if this will work for all but worth a shot. I think the supplied usb power adaptor is not giving the right amount of power causing the unit to do random errors especially with wifi.
Power supply?
I had the problem that the wifi wouldn't work at all. Often it wouldn't find the wifi hardware. I then realized this only happened when I plugged it into the supplied power supply. I tried another power adapter that I had from a phone and it works fine. Not tremendous, but certainly well enough to use.
