Hi, i am planning to upgrade my imate ppc to WM5. I read the upgrade documents of c_shekhar and he has mentioned we need to have the cradle adapter connected but I dont have the connector. Can I still upgrade my ppc, kindly let me know.
Regards,
Sher

Hi there
I did mine with a Sync cable only.
Went 100%. I Had no problems.
I think the only reason why there should be power with th cradle, is if the PPC's battery went flat during a ROM upgrade, it can be disasterous.
But you shouldnt have a problem!
Cheers
also being powered by the pc power could disappear if the pc crashed (or if connected to a unpowered hub along with other devices stealing some of the 500mA that a usb port can max provide)
but if the cradle have the connection to the psu too the chances you can carry on after the pc reboots are bigger
I was concerned about this too - but went ahead anyway with a USB sync cable which i got off ebay, connected to a powered USB hub.
It takes half an hour approx and I had no problems

Went to the Palm store and tried their cable that's supposed to sync and charge. It doesn't work with the Treo 750. However, the Palm branded cable did sync and charge with the Treo 680. Can anyone recommend a USB cable that's sure to work with the 750 cable to synchronize and charge the phone when connected? Thanks!
i've got an unbranded sync & charge cable which works fine - just check out ebay. i've also got a palm cradle and a "just mobile" cradle both of which sync & charge just fine.

Can u tried to check/uncheck in
[Start]--[Settings]--[Connections]--[USB to PC]
and reconnect to PC again with your cable.
If still unable to, pls let me know.

I've got the palm cradle too and sync and charge without problems.
Thanks guys, for all the responses. Looking more for a cable. I have USB cigarette charger and a laptop so it'd be easier to just lug around one thing when travelling and eliminate the bulk of the cradle.
Seidio retractable
I have a Seidio retractable sync & charge cable. Ran into it in a shop on Detroit airport. Works perfect and is very small and easy to carry around. According to the package description it was not for the 750, it only mentioned the older PalmOS based models, but it works perfect.

Thanks, psimoons. So that means that the Seido cable charges & syncs with the Treo 750?
The Pocket PC Techs sync-charge cables for the Treo 650/700/750v also work very well. ppctechs.com
Just look on ebay for a USB sync/charge retractable cable. They are cheap on eBay. The noname brand one that I got works great with my 750v, and is actually very good quality.
I've bought mini USB cable with charging option and charging works great but my PC doesn't recognize my HTC Diamond connected with that cable to USB. It works with the original one but with that I've bought synchronizing data on any USB ports just doesn't work.It seems that PC needs special driver for that cable.
Could anyone Help?
all (mini)usb cables should charge your phoen when you connect it to the PC anyway so i don't understand how this cable is different, could you please provide a link to it or something?
I got a mini USB cable used with my mp3 player and it just synchronizes data with my Diamond but it doesn't charge so not every mini USB cable sync data and charge...
I've bought my cable on polish auction site byt that one mini USB cable is exactly the same.
The problem is you have bought a "charging" cable, I'm guessing if you chopped it in half (please don't) there would only be two wires, a positive and negative.
These cables are designed to provide power only, otherwise the cable would be a lot thicker.
You would want something like this:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/95790
But don't quote me on that or you might get the same problem, ring up before you buy.
The cable you have with your MP3 player wouldn't be designed to charge if your MP3 player isn't designed to charge, manufactureres will save money even if it's on a few strands of extra cable.
There are 3 types of cables I've come accross:
1) ExtUSB -> Used by HTC only. Main difference is that this cable can transport audio as well. You only need to use this cable if youre listening to songs. (Your earphone connector is a true extUSB one) - the rest is the same as miniUSB
2) Normal miniUSB -> You can use this cable for charging and synching. As simple as that. Same cable used by non-HTC devices
3) Abnormal miniUSB -> Heh.. I don't know what to call this, but im sure you've seen some really thin retractable cables. They seem to work with certain devices only. I have 1 and it used to work on my Cruise/Artemis/Atom, but NOT on my diamond. Nevertheless, I can charge the device ONLY. -> I believe you've encountered this kinda cable
Check out the following posts: I've got a solution if youre really onto retractable cables that will sync+charge your diamond:

I'm sure I have encountered 3rd case. My retractable cable description says that it is for synchronizing data and charging but as you said maybe it works fully only with certain devices.
I think I will look for USB hub with retractable cable and that I've bought I will use for charging only...
Thanks
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...
Hello,
Problem: then i connect my Wizard via USB cable it shows no signs of any connection at all, but battery is charging. I still can sync via bluetooth and IR and it works just fine, but USB is totally dead. Maybe my wizards usb slot is broken ? Any suggestions what to do ?

Have you tried another cable?
I have a P3600 (Trinity) with a mini USB socket. Every now and again, the charging light comes on but the USB fails. I reckon the socket or cable end is getting a bit worn/tired out, and only the +5v and ground contacts actually connect. The two centre data lines don't, hence the Activesync error, but the phone is still charging Fiddling with the socket or just pressing it down toward the back of the phone will make it work.
If this doesn't work, maybe the socket has completely had it.
Update to this: Feb 25:- The USB connection has now failed completely. Charges the battery, but ActiveSync cannot connect, other phones are fine using the same cable. No amount of fiddling will get it to work. The device is now assigned to the ever growing pile of electroscrap used as demo machines. Now on a company hand-me-down MWg Zinc II. Not an HTC device, I know, but I won't be leaving the forum.

Hello. Can someone please take a photo of the connecting end of the data cable for the 750v and post it to me?
Also, will the phone charge from the USB port?
I just bought a second have 750v and it doesn't come with a cable, and I only really need a USB one if it will charge.
I've had many Treo's before, but I don't think I have any cables anymore, and I can't remember which they used...
Thanks, Chris
yes you can charge with usb cable
usb cable available online stores
