Is there a cable/adapter solution that creates a serial port for use to connect my htc pda to a serial port like a router or a plc?

Hi,
you can buy or use the mda1/xda1 serial hotsync cable to put in your serial gpsreceiver on your pda. Do not forget to put in 5V-Power to the gpsreciever on the ps/2-connector.
(For example: Buy it on www.t-mobile.de)
Just open the 9pin connector and change the red and orange cable inside.

btw. the mda1 hotsync cable doesn´t work for hotsync operations on the mda2.
Hey Guys:
Here is an old but challengable subject to discussion:
( before going to discussion I must appreciate GSM Coolhawk for his message on Modify any USB GPS to XDA Serial RS232, afterrnoon project and also chat with me)
XDA and many of other handhels and ppcs dont support SDIO. But we have ActiveSync Port that support USB and RS 232. However these devices act as a slave USB so we cant connect any usb prepherals.
IS it possible we use an "USB to RS232 Converter" to convert output signal of prepheral devices as a readable signal for ActiveSync port of XDA device?
Thanks
yes it would be possible
problem nr 1
usb1.1 is 12Mbit /Sec
usb2 is 480Mbit /Sec
old style serial rs232 is about 160Kb/sec
many a device would malfunction if it's return signals from the master were delayed that much
problem nr 2
even the usb to serial and parallel ports you can get for using on pc's are not 100% transparent and many devices have problems with them (usb to serial and parallel ment as in you connect old devices to your converter which connect to the serial port)
problem nr 3
drivers you would still have to write drivers for all usb devices you wanted to use unless the manufactor already had the same device in a serial version and therefor a driver which would control it using rs232
so yeah it's possible
not really worth it imho
and as a replacement for the lack of a SDIO it would be easier and cheaper to buy a new device
Hello,
I looking for a cable to add a serial port (RS232) on my P3600.
Do you know if this kind of cable exist ?
Thanks
Currently not possible - the P3600 does not have USB host capability which is required to work with any of the USB - serial adapters out there.
The P3600 allegedly has USB on-the-go (OTG) capability which is a new way of enabling peer-to-peer USB connections. However currently there are no drivers for the P3600 to enable this capability, and in any case no OTG capable USB-serial adapters...
Currently the only real solution would be to use a bluetooth - serial adapter - these do exist but are relatively expensive.
Im trying to get Vag-check to work on my Htc Touch Pro.
I have only one problem, how i can change the mini-usb com port?
Program needs to use com port 1 but i dont know how to change it on my mobile device, or even how i see what com port its using?
I have my testing cable usb->car-plug
and im using following combo to get it connected to phone= Phone, Mini-Usb->Female USB->male-USB/car-diagnostic cable.
Also if that doesnt work, do you have any programs that you know of that can check fault codes from Vw cars?.
I don't know about VW fault codes, but if you want to do a vag check, try squatting on a mirror.
I have a Prolific 2303-based USB to serial adapter that I've used before with my Galaxy SII on my tablet with the keyboard dock. The device is detected according to dmesg, and is attached to ttyUSB0. But, all of the serial communication apps I've tried can't find it. There is an error with the Slick apps that says it could not find all necessary endpoints. Is anyone else using a cable for this purpose with their tablet? Care to share app, rom, kernel info? I'm using the nightly CM10.1 build from today(3/12/2013).
