i am an intersted reader of these forums and i have an xda2i. i never wrote an article because i always found my answers.
but now i have one.
does anybody know the pins of the internal connector?
i wanna build an interface that allows me to connect the xda with a tft-display in my car, for example.
has someone an idea...
thx for all answers...
greez, rob
what makes you think that all the backpack does is to ad the connector ?
it could have chips inside handling the singnaling easily
i hope it ;-)
i am from germany and its difficult for me to get an
backback for my xda2i and the backpack costs about
120,- euros.
may be there are pins that i can use...

I know there have been some other threads on the same issue, but none of them provided a real, or let's say easy answer. Is there a way to use the headsets or earphones via the cradle? Or is there a cradle to be bought which provides this option?
Unless I'm not aware of another way, whenever the device in the cradle rings, you need to either remove it from its cradle to answer or use the loudspeaker. Correct?
As always, thanks.
Check this item, http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108730 , while you should easily find it in other e-stores at a lower price, it has an audio out connector. I can actually answer a call while the phone is on its cradle just lifting pda+cradle to my hear and hitting green button without problems..
salut et bonne chance!
Merci, boobee !
I actually came across this cradle, but no one (in other threads) could actually confirm if "Audio" really means an audio output for the earphones. Well, I guess I'll have to ask one of the vendors.
I like your suggestion just to grab the cradle...

Hi Guys,
Try this range of units, they are reasonably prices and work well!

i use my xda 2 as a mp3 player in the car but i need some help. the micro jack that connects the xda to the stereo system gets loose after driving for a while which greatly reduces the sound cooming out of the speakers. any suggestions? thanks in advance...... :lol:
maybe another converter ?
nah. dont think so. adapters that small are very rare here in the phil. ive tried to look for it at different malls but they really are not available. im using the adapter provided by nokia when you buy a 5510 ( my old phone). im just looking for a way to prevent it from dislodging from the xda2. hmmm, duct tape may be a good idea at this moment......
Bluetac!
expansys have 3 adaptors
or you could make one yourself canabalising an old xda headset
bluetac? is that available in the philippines? i wouldnt even dream of "cannibalizing" my o2 headset. its much too expensive to buy a replacement if ever i "murder" the thing. :?

Just wondered if anyone in or around London knows where i can get hold off the usb headphone adaptor with 3.5 mm jack for my compact iv. I don't particularly like the standard headphones so i want to get the adaptor so i can use some different ones.
Thanks Guys (and Girls)

Thanks for that. What i meant to ask was if anyone knows of any shops where i can get it from

Thats perfect. Couldn't find any where to actually buy over the counter in London so i ordered it.
Does anyone know of a good retailer of accessories for the diamond/compact iv in London?
Do you know if there is a video-out solution for the Touch Diamond?
It would be nice to display the gps navigation screen on the DVD LCD panel mounted inside the car..
eXpansys has an 11-pin connector to RCA Male cable on their site. Might be just what you're looking for.
before you spend the money, realize that nobody has video out working on the diamond currently, there's thought that there simply isn't supporting hardware. the 11pin USB is the same as others that have video out..but for some reason it's not working.
check this thread:

oh, i didn`t see that thread, i searched but nothing came out. Thank you very much for your replies. Someone should close this thread.
I have combed through forums, read article after article, but I cannot find an answer to this question.
But first, I should introduce myself. I'm a long time lurker but first time poster! Thanks to you guys, I ordered my G tablet a few days ago and it should be coming in today!
Secondly, I wanted to thank all the developers and members on this forum. You guys (and gals?) have been an invaluable source of information! (And a seriously effective form of marketing! Viewsonic should be paying you guys!!)
Ok, now onto the question. I've been reading that the microphone on the tablet is... sub-par. And I've also read that there is no way to have an external line-in. My question is, is the microphone replaceable to add more sensitivity? Or is it possible to wire up the microphone so that instead of a microphone we install a 3.5 mm jack in its place? As a songwriter, getting song ideas down into a program like "songmemo" or "4-tracks" is going to be pretty important.
Once I receive my tablet (after I study for finals ), I'm going to take it apart and see what is possible. (also, thanks to "t3h_g3n3r4l" for the hardware breakdown thread, now I know what I'm getting myself into!)
+1 An alternate microphone would be great, or even better the ability to use any external mic. I also use both those programs listed, but the built-in mic is a little issue. I would assume a small preamp circuit could be made to fit and attached to a 3.5mm jack and soldered on in replacement of the current mic, but I have not opened mine to check, otherwise it would be nice to add software that could handle a usb microphone.
My tablet still hasn't arrived yet! I have a pile of accessories that have already been delivered and no tablet! This is killing me. I really should be studying for finals but this waiting is making it hard to concentrate.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The only reason an external usb mic or even a bluetooth headset wouldn't work would be because the software. Unfortunately I'm horrible at coding so I don't even know what it would take for a fix like that and I'm not going to post some egregious request.
As soon as my tablet comes in, I'll pop it open and see what I find. If the microphone is wired in, then I think soldering in a 3.5 mm jack should be easy. And if the signal is low, you could always use an external pre once the jack is in.
The only issue I can see is if the G tab uses one of those cell phone "button" type microphones. I'm not familiar with how those work. Though I'm sure there's a solution even for that.
What I am trying to figure out is if you can use a headset mic because if you can I can solder up a 3.5mm jack with a preamp, and also the software is already built in android to handle a headset mic.
*Edit* Headset mic is a no go I guess on to another idea...
Alright, so was delivered.
Once I finish writing this essay, I'll take this baby apart and see what our options are.
Hopefully this help. Its the chip that handles the audio made by realtek.

Thankyou that will help greatly! It appears that the chip has multiple stereo mic/line-in inputs including one that has a built in preamp, so now the question is will android allow us to utilize those inputs if we hook them up allowing us to use not only the internal mic but an external plugged into a 3.5mm jack? I think some testing is in order ....

*Edit* I opened my G-Tab and it is quite possible to replace the stock mic with a 3.5mm jack, but you will need some serious soldering skills (very small solder points) unless you just cut the wires to the existing mic and reuse them (leave them soldered to the board) which I am not to keen on. As far as soldering another input right to the chip, this is also possible (again you would have to have some real skill with the iron as they are also very very small soldering points. It might be easier to write a usb driver and software to use my m-audio box lol (and I am excellent with a soldering iron). On a side note I saw they got ubuntu 11.04 working on the gtab so once they get the sound going in it, my usb m-box should work great (I may wait for this option. Ardour would be nice)
Beeeeaauuutifull!!
Though, I'm a bit wary to try anything on my brand new G tab. Heh.
Oh but it looks so promising!
Edit: Ok, now I can't see the pinout you posted..

Me too lol, my wife hates when I bust out the iron on new toys. She doesn't want me messing up her $400 dollar angry birds machine.
