Hi there i live in the UK and im looking for spare parts to fix my Broken XDA II. I need to replace the charger / usb port and was wondering if any knows where i can get these parts from so that i can fix it my self. I would rather buy and fix the parts my self than paying some one else to do it for me as this costs me a fortune.
Many thks for your help.
I also need these parts repaired. Oh yes and Proporta can't do it so save yourself £15. Please let me know if you find someone who can!
well ive emailed loads of repair places and they havent got back to me. I am curreenly trying to bid on some broken phones on ebay but ppl just keep going to high on there prices.
maybe ill get lucky.
try www.merconline.co.uk
PDASMART Horror Story
Just make sure not to use PDASMART. They are not reliable at all.
I posted the same question few months ago, and I was told to contact merconline. I wrote them an e-mail, but still haven't received an answer.
If anyone knows where can we purchase that bottom connector, we will be very thankful.
cheers,

Hi everyone,
I just googled a little, and found this web sites that sell spare parts:
http://www.ipaqrepair.co.uk/view_product.php?product=554
This site is for ipaq's but can anyone confirm that we can use this connector for our qtek's/imate's/xda's etc???
Also, this is even better option:
http://www.imate-shop.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=39
I beleive this is what we need, I wrote them an e-mail, to check if they ship worldwide.

This is the IPAQ connector
This is from pinouts.ru
Can moderators confirm that this means the 22-pin connector from the ipaq 3800 can be used in the qtek2020
http://pinouts.ru/data/pda_wallaby_pinout.shtml
Wallaby and Himalaya come with two connectors on the bottom. Also for MDA, XDA, Eurotel DataPhone.

22 V_ADP
Notes:
CAR_ON# is connected to +6V/+5V on the car charger, it"s not connected in the cradle. +6V/+5V makes the phone go to speaker mode immediately when picked up or dialing. When this pin is connected to ground, the internal mike and speaker are turned off, and audio input is taken from the audio input pin on the connector, for use in real car kits.
Pin 2 GND / SENSE is not necessary. it seems that if it"s grounded, the phone hangs up when placed in a DIY Car-holder for example. - leave it unconnected.
Pin 5 ANALOG GND - connect this to your sound Input/output-GND (Speaker/Microphone) - do not connect this with the other GND"s - it makes a lot of noise on the analog input/outputs. Audio needs to be capacitively coupled in, any DC bias seems to inhibit audio.
If RS232_DCD is pulled to +6V/+5V, the device turns on and ActiveSync is started. The serial port powers down and needs to be reopened after the device goes in power-save mode.
USB power also wakes up the device and starts ActiveSync. UDC+ and UDC- are the USB data connections. One person reported measuring them the other way around.
Cable to plug into computer
This is the cable you need to talk to the Wallaby or Himalaya serially from a computer, such as is needed with our Manipulator program or for using ActiveSync through the serial port. Techies like us call it a "null-modem cable", O2 describes it as a "serial hotsync cable". Optionally, if you wish to be able to power/charge to XDA while using this cable, you could hook up a female connector that mates with the connector on your power adapter between Ground (pins 2,5,etc. on XDA) and pins 20,21 and 22 on the XDA. Make sure the center conductor on the power connector goes to pins 20,21 and 22.

Cable to plug into modem or GPS
This cable will connect to devices which come with a cable to plug into a PC serial port, such as a modem. If you are connecting to a device that only uses RX, TX and GND (such as many GPS receivers), you may only need the wires which connect to pins 2, 3 and 5 on the 9-pin serial connector. And you can, optionally, hook up a charging interface in the same way as described above.

Charger/ usb connector Repair
All,
I had the same problem myself...i had several quotes, and finally went with Expansys ( see PDA repair on their website). It takes about 2-3 weeks although they do say up to 6 weeks. the cost was about £50 in total inc postage and VAT. :lol:
can you provide a link for the repair site on expansys or maybe e-mail conact.

I'd feel better in doing this on my xda 2 if there were some pictures
of taking the thing apart to illustrate rather then working blind.
like what's up with that void sticker under the battery?
Have you got pics or a sync/charge socket replacement repair being done?
What quality of soldering tools do you need? fine?
heellp!
I opened thread with idea to make a RS 232 cable with communication between Himalaya and PC?! Because my connecotor form phone fell of and 13 and 14 pins on phone board are in contact (destroyed) the usb function is not possible and the first 4 pins and the last 22nd pin on the connector are crushed. So i decided to use rest of the pins to communicate with pc! I charge battery with some universal charger and i solved that question. But sync problem stays! I don't want to use bluethoot because it drains my battery and maybe sometimes i decide to flash my phone with other software and i can't do that with bluethoot! And transmission rate with rs232 is about 1,5 mbit/s till bluethoot is not faster that 512 kbit/s!
On the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Connectors i saw that pins from 6 to 11 are for the rs232 communication. And i have female rs232 connector and half of a USB cable (but the half with male himalaya connector which is need) If i could use these two half to solder one serial cable for sync i will be happy! I found out that voltage on rs 232 is about 12v and i need about 5v, so i need something to transform this power! Sry for english...
If anyone have any idea, link... Or he done this before let me notify!
c'mon ppls! Is it possible that no one knows that answer! I searched the net and found a simple null modem cable with only 3 wires, Tx, Rx and GND!
Himalaya----------(rs232 DB9)-------Function
9---------------------3-----------------Rx----------Tx
8---------------------2-----------------Tx----------Rx
5---------------------5------------------Signal ground
What transfer speed i can expect from this?! This is the cable without handshaking communication!
And according to this
Wallaby /
Himalaya_______9-pin connector(male)
2,5,16,17,18-----5 (gnd)
6 (dcd)----------4 (dtr)
7 (cts)----------7 (rts)
8 (txd)----------2 (rxd)
9 (rts)-----------8 (cts)
10 (rxd)---------3 (txd)
11 (dtr)---------6,1 (dsr, dcd)
I will get a full handshaking communication with hi-speed transfer!
So what is a better choice? First i can do it by my own, but the second is a bigger job and requires more time!?
If your still working on this...
Why not just wire up a usb or mini usb socket to the himalaya?
Lot easier!
You didn't read my post good!!! Board pins are in conntact! So, the USB function is NOT possible! I finished this project at the time i wrote this, and everything work great. Bought a Serial to USB adapter with integrated max232 ciurcut, the wireing is exact same like i presented in my post. Full handshaking, max serial speed! But afterall, not satisfied with the transfer speed... I sold my phone about 2 months ago!!!

Hi guys,
I bricked my G1 recently and am going to try to Unbrick using the guide on cyanogen's wiki.
One requirement is the debug serial cable, but here in India I haven't been able to get my hands on the ExtUSB breakout. I do have a mini usb breakout. Could I use that instead?
The pins I need are:
1 VCC
2 Ground
3 tx
4 rx
The pins available on the mini usb breakout are:
A +5V
B -Data
C +Data
D N/C
E Ground
Pretty obviously:
1 -> A
2 -> E
Goggling tx and rx, I think they mean data in and out but not sure. Anybody have any advice?
Unbrick guide on cyanogen:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic
ExtUSB breakout:
sparkfun.com/products/9167
Post questions in the questions section!!!
ExtUSB is backwards compatible with mini USB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus
I have several mini USB cables, some with a Type A male connector on the other end, others with a wall plug end, and still some with the cigarette lighter adapter end. They all work with the G1. The 2 extra pins on the ExtUSB are for sound only.
Xsite_01 said:
It's compatible just for charging and file tranfer but for serial interface are not compatible. You are accesing serial interface trough extra audio pins, so you can buy G1 headphones and make htc serial cable. Headphone yes, charger no.

Ah, when I saw serial I thought, "why is he calling a USB cable by only part of it's name" (universal serial bus). I misunderstood the post and did not think he was talking about an actual serial/RS232 connection.
So as to try to contribute something to OP, have you tried looking at this? http://www.instructables.com/id/Android-G1-Serial-Cable/
I was doing some study connect my serial GPS (gives TTL level serial signals) to HTC P3400 WM. Found out about G1 cable in instructables and other materials that explained how to use serial ports in HTC mobiles. I came across a very cheap "adapter" in a roadside shop in Chennai - one end of this one goes into the mini usb and the other end provides a 3.5mm stereo audio jack. I grabbed one of them and surprised to find that it did not have the moulded rubber connector. I opened the plastic case and found that I can easily solder pins 7,8 and 9. I will be testing this over the week end!
Thanks for the info Xsite_01, i think i can find some headphones to cut up and give it a try.
If smpncrc's adaptor works, i'd love to get my hands on it in delhi.
Thanks for all the info guys
Hello everyone! My name is Patryk Andrzejewski (don't try to read my name if you're not polish), and this is my first thread on XDA.
I am studing electronics on university of technology so i'm pretty well with all kind of electronic stuff.
What i'm trying to do is "x-ray" the usb port in our TG01.
My basic targets is to find way to charge the device while using USB HUB or while listening music. If it's even possible to do.
Right now I know how to connect TG01 to amplifier by 3.5mm plug. Generaly most amplifiers have high impedance input while tg01 expect low impedance earphones to switch usb port to audio output. So what we need to do is take two resistors with the same resistance around 10k Ohm and connect them both between ground and both signal channels in male 3.5mm plug of the amplifier. This should do the trick. You can experiment with resistance but it should be as high as possible to not interfere in sound quality, but if it be to big output won't swich or sound would chop on high volume.
Basic usb cable have four wires plus ground. While micro usb plug have five pins. This extra pin is used to tell device what cable is connected, hub earphones charger or pc. It can be done by two ways, in each cable this extra pin is shorted to diferent other pins. Or it's connected by resistor to ground or Vcc.
What i need to do is determine how it is in our devices and if it would be done make a cable what will allow to charge while using usb to other purposes.
I can also help with porting microusb-3.5mm cables from other devices to TG01, just what i need is this cable, it's schematic, connection route with insides picture or small donation to buy it for tests.
Or eventualy I can make solution how to do it yourself.
Right now I waiting for a pack with new empty microusb male and female plugs to do some tests.
If someone have some experience with this please share.
Also it would be great if someone will port me on to usb switch driver.
Feel free to talk to me on priv.
Thread will be updated...
Hi @patryk,
Welcome to the TG01 Forum.... especially on this particular topic - if you can find a way to get multiple function via the uUSB port simultaneously, that will be great
There have been various attempts at this before, but in practice the only route seems to be using Bluetoth for audio while either charging or using the port in host mode.
I did a piece on Brighthand a while ago on connecting an external hard drive; there have also been discussions on MoDaCo and later on XDA (down the Accessories thread.... one is here and I think there may be some earlier than that). There is a link in the XDA post to a Freescale Smiconductor chip schematic. This is supposed to be able to (externally) support multi-function usage - ntended to be used by 3rd Party manufacturers in eg. a car kit, but as yet I am not aware of any such accessories having been released. If/when available would be suitable for any of the modern crop of uUSB based evices, though I think many car makers have opted for Bluetooth connectivity instead of the older style fixed car kits with cables.
Acording to pdf from your link I'm right, its all about one resistor. It's entire possibly to do this.
Tomorrow morning tests...
Thanks
oh I cant wait so:
rid_f: >220 kOhms
rid_a: 122-126 kOhms <-- this is what we're interest in
rid_b: 67-69 kOhms
rid_c: 36-37 kOhms
rid_g: 1 kOhm
These res val has small tolerance and ar not typical.
rid_a resistance is used to switch to charge device from charger and use usb for earphones or hub!
earphones - yes, but headset - not sure I must check first where mic is connected
here it is Dummy cable schematic:
Here are some related illustrations:
Schematic of the uUSB standard audio accessory control:
View attachment 505996
Picture of the supplied Toshiba earphone adaptor pcb:
View attachment 505997
The mic is connected to pins 1 and 2 (White and bare Cu)
I have made up several 3.5mm audio adapters using Neutrik 3.5mm jacks with 10k resistors fitted from D+ and D- to 0V common:
View attachment 506008
This ensures it will switch to audio out when connecting to external speakers with or without a ground-loop isolator transformer where typically the external device will have too low an impedance for the TG01 to recognise.
Shorting out D+ (Pin 2) and D- (Pin 3) causes the TG01 to go into Charging mode.
An R from ID (Pin 4) to 0V (Pin 5) causes the TG01 to go into Host mode.
I check all of these Rid's and it seems they don't work on Tg01. No matter how i try there is working only charging or earphones never both same time.
As you say device can be forced to charge when resistor < 200 ohm is connected between D+ and D- and they are floating.
There also must be other way to do this by the driver of usb charging becouse pc link charges only when TG is on.
In TG mic an switch of headset are connected to ID pin. So this first schematic of yours is about Toshiba accesory ?
Technicaly charging while using audio out is possible becouse VBUS pin is free in headset.
I'll do some other tests tomorrow..
Hi!
Any news since February?

It is a good document, but iunfortunately leaves many questions unanswerable.
In Section 6.4 it shows a schematic of an Accessory Charger Adapter which is essentially what we need to achieve simultaneous charging and audio out (or other functions). It does not however give enough detail to implement. I have previously identified a Freescale chip which has been designe dto do this job, but hae been unable to identify any source from which to obtain one. In essence this is aimed at the peripheral manufacturers' -who might wish to design and market eg. a hands free car kit to which you could connect a microUSB On The Go spec device. However so far as I can discover there are no manufactureres who have as yet brought any related device to market. If anyone happens to have found anything somewhere across the globe - please shout !

OK, I know the P5113 US has the HDMI out support over the 30-pin connector via the adapter Samsung sells and One user on here with one a 5113 (assumed may because he said he had a tab 2 10.1 and location is in USA) was able to use a 30-pin to RCA and USB (for charging) seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018021 to get audio out over the 30 pin so my question is does the P3113 have the hardware support to do the same or is that part of the same setup that has to do with the HDMI and how it works on the 5113 and NOT the 3113?
And if anyone on any 31xx series has found a cable that will do this can supply a link, trying to configure a single plug setup to design an in dash holder for the tab.
I am interested in this myself. I am suppose to be picking up a P3113 tomorrow and plan on using this primarily in my truck. Hopefully someone with experience in this can point us in the right direction. I may end up ordering one of those cables and trying it out but was hoping someone else had already tried it and could report back.
the_buzz_man
I called Samsung yesterday about this very subject. I am a music producer and am very interested in using the P3113 to handle high quality audio.
I asked the Samsung tech specifically about how to go about getting high quality audio in and out of the P3113. The lady I spoke with had no specific knowledge as to whether it was possible or not, so I asked her to look and see if there were any cables or adapters for this purpose. She looked and said she didn’t find anything. I then asked about getting a pin out chart of the 30 pin connector and she couldn’t find that either. Her best recommendation was to go to samsungparts.com & order the service manual. She said she THOUGHT the pinout chart (or whatever it’s called) would be in the service manual but couldn’t promise either way though.
As soon as I get the time I intend on calling Samsung again and seeing if I can get to a deeper department than just first level technical help. Maybe I will get lucky and speak to someone who actually knows about handling audio. If not, and if no one has success with the aforementioned cable I intend on getting that service manual and seeing if I can get a tech to help me determine how to go about doing it, and perhaps getting a custom cable made for that purpose.
I got my P3113 for Christmas and started reading on here every day since. Early on I remember seeing a thread somewhere talking about some kind of dock for one of the Galaxy Tab 2 models, and it seems like someone hacked up that dock and was successful with audio. I can’t remember where that thread is, and a quick search didn’t lead me back to it. I wish I would have been taking notes that early. When I have more time I will look for that thread and see.
It would be really cool if someone has success with the cable mentioned in this thread. If no one finds out, or if it is determined that this particular cable doesn’t help us, I will get the 30 pin connector looked at by a tech and report back my findings.
Is there anyone out there that can help us out?
Geez you guys ever read anything here? I must have answered this question 20 times and Samsung accessories web pages is pretty clear. The P31XX series does not have the hardware to do HDMI or any video output. The P51xx does.
Again now repeat after me, The P51xx series is compatible with the HDMI adapter the P31xx including the p3113 is not compatible and cannot produce video out. The P6210 (Tab 7 Plus) is compatible and does HDMI, the P3113 does not.
The audio on the 30 pins is available on all models and it is the same as the audio on the headphone jack. I don;t know what you noobs call high quality audio, but its simple stereo analog audio which is as high as stereo ANALOG gets. Repeat the Samsung media dock for the P31xx series has this two I/Os
1. USB Power for charging or sync
2. Analog Stereo audio out.. " 3.5mm audio out jack supports external speakers or home stereo connection."
Nothing more, nothing less. No video out, not audio in.
This is the technical info of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pinouts for digital and analog I/O on the 30 pin dock connector.. NOTE: the MHL (video out) pins are not functional in the P3113 and P3100

I know you said it had the same as the headphone out thru the USB (from your last post in the thread I linked), what I'm looking for is a CONFIRMED working 30-pin cable that both charges the tab and give AUDIO out (i'm OK with it being the same audio as the headphones), I don't need video, I just want a quick and easy one plug and go cable when I get in the car, so I don't have to deal with plugging in a charge cable and a headphone cable into opposite ends, which will make my Tab not fit where I plan to put it when I do the final install.
It seems that Tab 2 7 and Tab 2 10.1 do not have the same connection logic if P-1000 cables work for the Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P51xx) - the ones I have do not work for the GT-P3110 out of the box.
Check my findings on 30 pin audio out in this thread.
