hello guys. I need to ask you, if anybody tried to solve my problem. I have couple of PDAs and I cannot get work this HP FA287A Bluetooth Folding Keyboard on any pda. I have one HP 614c, where it works correctly. the main problem is, that on HTC phones (Universal, Wizard, Touch) is only COM6 and COM7 available. so even if I install driver for this keyboard here it automatically tryin to connect to COM1. On HP there is 10 COM ports available...
so the question is, it is any way, how to map paired device to another port? in this case COM1?
thanx a milion
ohh and I did found few virtual COM drivers on the net, I will try them ASAP and will provide feedback. but I guess, this will be not easy.
My question is the next. Is possible from VS2008 program a peripherical device (built by my) to work with htc device?
Thanks
My peripherical is a microprocesor with a usb input to conect with mini usb port from my pda
I guess it is possible if you make a program or app for you phone that will recognize the periphial.
Do you have any idea to do that?
USB-Host
This Is Not Possible Unless You Have A PDA With A USB-Host Port.
Most PDA's These Days Lack The USB-Host Feature.
Sorry To Be The Bearer Of Bad News.

i read about this part "Usb Serial Port PL-230" this one include its own driver, with all this remains impossible?
Joystick options appeared to be limited for most of us, so I'm posting this thread to help generate interest in finding a universal workaround - and to start tossing around ideas. Here are mine;
USB to mini USB: Could a joystick be rewired to use a mini USB jack? Seems like you would only need drivers to get it to work.
HTC 4-in-1 Cable: The HTC Athena (aka Advantage) has a cable that provides a normal USB jack. With it you can connect a mouse and keyboard, and using this driver you can even connect a joystick. I'm wondering, if we could just get a proper mini USB cable, maybe this driver would work on other devices? Someone was able to get a USB joystick to work on a Toshiba TG01, so I have hope!
BGP100 Gamepad (MSI and Chainpus): Unfortunately, support for this gamepad stopped and the drivers don't seem to work on newer phones (with few exceptions).
Please try to be constructive with the ideas/feedback. Hopefully by pooling our resources we can come up with a mutually beneficial solution.
Id like a workaround for this aswell, especially for the HD2 when it comes out
I spoke with 'i900frenchaddict' from FPSEce. He was able to get a joystick to work on his Toshiba TG01 by buying a USB A Female to Mini USB B 5 Pin Male adapter and using the hidgamep.dll driver.
I've got a HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rodium). I just ordered the adapter and I'm going to try to get it to work. I'll post my results later.
connecting anything to the usb port and getting it to work require a device which support usbHost
Athena is as far as I know the only htc wm device out which support usbHost
Has anyone explored porting the usbhost files over from Athena? Is this something that needs to be cooked in or can it be installed manually with a few registry tweaks?

A USB host port is hardware based; it cannot be ported by any software means. Rudegar is right about the Athena being the only HTC device with a USB host capabilities, but phones from other manufactures have this feature, such as the TG01. Maybe someday HTC will catch on, but current HTC devices don't have this feature (exception is Athena).

Bummer. That effectively kills the USB option.
Looks like Bluetooth is the only way to go. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the BGP100 is the only offering at the moment - and it only works on some phones.
Anybody want to take a crack at updating the drivers to work with newer phones like the HTC Touch Pro 2?
Hi!
Yes, it works like a charm on my TG01, thanks again!
What I wonder, is if it may work on a device without a supposed "real USB host" function.
I don't have the correct adapter to plug a pad yet, but one thing is sure: my omnia has the same registry, so it was possible to create the new keys exactly like on my TG01.
Well, my adapter should arrive tomorrow. So I'll experiment and see what happens.
No surprise. The cable didn't work.
I'd be nice if someone made a Bluetooth USB host device with 2 USB ports on it. Then all we need is a driver to work with WM and BAM... everyone can now use USB devices! I imagine such a device would sell pretty good.
Either that or HTC needs to start including the USB host on all future phones. This will definitely be the deal breaker for my next phone... unless of course it happens to have a usable d-pad (haha, fat chance in this touchscreen obsessed world).
Only thing left to do now is hope some kind dev updates the BGP100 drivers *wink* *wink*
Speaking of Bluetooth, it would be nice if someone managed to code Wiimote+Classic Controller or Sixaxis/DualShock 3 drivers for Windows Mobile. The input devices in question already use Bluetooth, and I've never perceived any control latency-it's just a matter of drivers.
Too bad about the lack of USB host, though. I actually thought most HTC devices ever since the Touch Diamond/Pro had it built-in already judging by the USB port shape, and that you'd just need an adapter to use the host capability.
Funny thing is that the Sprint version of the HTC Touch Pro 2 has the Qualcomm MSM7600 chipset which actually has embedded support for USB OTG HS. Yet somewhere along the line someone must have disabled the functionally (much like they disable the radio).
I would venture a guess that the MSM7200a chipset has the same support, but disabled of course.
Edit: Yup, it does.
Confirmed the BGP100 is not working on the HD2. I get "connection error..insufficient memory"
I think that BGP100 is not compatible with the wisdom stack. if we can find a way to use the ms stack we should be fine. so far ia have not found on instructions on how to change the stack.
By the way the Video of the Omina II on your first post is mine
msi & tp2

I have a msi bt gamepad and a tp2. so far I have been able to connect using my bt settings and something called spp slave (its some type of serial port) but without updated divers formy device i cant do much more :-/ since i have little tech know how i am stuck here. I have heard that the bgp 100 works for the HD 2 (they have the same bt stack I think) so what gives?
Significant development! Updated bluetooth drivers are now available for the BGP100 gamepad. See this thread for details;

There is no USB host support in our Leo, so makes not much sense to play with it.
"you can easily connect USB keyboards or mouses to your Pocket PC's USB Host connector"
BlueInput might help instead, but the current version works with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack only.
actulay it seams that it does have host support

As far as I remember there is currently a person on this forum that was working on a usb host but it had to have external power since the micro usb does not supply 5v like a mini usb can. But it was working and with a usb hub that had external power he was running a keyboard,mouse,card reader.
So do some actual searching and you will find the thread.
I've already done some searching and it appears that a gentleman has figured out a way to enable USB host mode (a.k.a. OTG USB support) on the Nexus One. I can't post links to the forum yet, but you can find it by googling "Connect USB peripherals to your Nexus One."
I'd like to know if it's possible for the G2x and if anyone knows of any developers currently working on it. That's all.

Same phone, same interest.
I saw a guy making a patch for the Droid, using a Qualcomm processor.
Google, "Working MSM7201 usb host driver v2"
I'm interested in attaching USB FAT32 via OTG to my P999-G2x, either with, or without supplemental power tether (which works great on the HP Touchpad with Alpha2 CM7!!).
USB Host for G2X
I need USB host support to interface my G2X phone with arduino. Can anyone make or find a solution i have looked everywhere.
Thank You
