Is it possible to connect an XDAII t a digital camera to allow me to download images on the move? Or how about connecting to any PC using a USB cable to transfer files, images, etc? I read somewhere theat the XDAII chipset doesn't support this type of connection, is this correct?
No, it's not possible. For any PDA (and our xda, too) the chipset is configured as a slave usb which doesn't allow you to use "normal" usb functions. thats also the reason because activesync exists.
You have a digital camera already in your xda 2, you can transfer files to any pc as long as activesync is installed, just click explore and you can drag and drop. Alernatively you can use a card reader, this will plug into any usb enable pc and allow transferring of files both ways.
I do not think that you can connect it bu usb - probably you need special drivers for it...
99% of htc devices don't support usb host
and can as such only be used by a host
not use other usb devices itself
some things are possible...
With the software WM5torage you can hook up your Hima or any other HTC device to any PC with no Activesync installed and it behaves like any other mass storage device. So if your camera has SD cards you can easily transfer pictures.
If you still use WM2003 on your Hima you can use accessory called Backpack to read CF cards or use a CF to any other card converter.
You can use IR or Bluetooth for wireless control of robots and other devices.
There is also RS232 on the Hima connector.
Besides my cradle, I have an activesync cable (USB on one end & connector for my XDA II unit on the other end). I've been using it for quite sometime now, until one day it stopped detecting my phone, I can no longer synchronize on my unit...but the thing is, it can still charge my XDA II.
I can activesync with my cradle...so does this mean that my activesync cable is the one defective? What are the possible solution, Im looking for a diagram for this interface, there must be a loose connection on my cable.
Re: USB Activesync cable, not detecting phone but charging..

What OS are you using?
If WM5 - there are several Threads about XDAII with WM5 having problems to sync via USB (I have this (unsolved) problem, too).
(Have a lokk at www.buzzdev.net, too)
So: no solution, but at leat an assurance that there is no hardware problem.

I turn of firewall of pc windows xp.
I experience the same problem too.
Try re-installing the ActiveSync. This worked for me.
I installed the WM 6.1 about one month ago and everything was fine until recently. Has anyone been able to find a solution for this? mine started doing this about three days ago. I was syncing fine just last week!!
(edited, I´ll move it to a proper place)
Have you tried disabling the advanced network functionality option?
I'm having the same problems too.
It all worked fine. 1 day it stopped working. I've removed the partnerships and uninstalled ActiveSync, installed again, reboot both devices. Started working.
Now it stopped working again!
I've got a HTC TyTN
Help...!
I've the exact same problem with me Raphael with RomEOS WM6.1. It won't work on Vista or XP, tried all the standard stuff and tried it on a fresh computer with Vista. Seems to be a WM6.1 or ROM issue.
I'm looking for instalation files for ActiveSync on WM6.1, but can't find any.
Where we can find ActiveSync ROM cab file so that we can install on Mobile again.
Since ActiveSync on mobile is not working as I have to 2 phones
1) HTC Tytn II (Not Working)
2) O2 Atom ( Working )
with same usb cable and same desktop or laptop.
can anyone help where we can get a activeSync Installer for phone.
I have the same problem, I am running WM5 on an Eten Om600+ and Vista no my laptop.
the phone charges, but there is not communication between computer and phone. all was fine, till one day... no sync no more.
Any suggestions?

where do i find that?
ok Im having the same problem here with my Titan.. how did you all get it to work again?
i got a SPV M1000. one cradle and one USB cable. I prefer using USB cable to cradle. I got same problem as you with my USB cable. USB cable can charge but can not synch. I dismantled my USB cable and found out that. one data tag(pin) was loose. and people should know that. USB cable have 22 tags(pins): 2,5,16,17,18 are connect to (-) negative and 13,20,21,22 (+) positive. the tag number 14 and 15 is the date line. If one of 14 or 15 tag is loosen(mean it donot touch to your ppc when you plug the cable in) then your ppc only can charge and cannot synch. So, I pushed the tag 14th on my cable back, seal with some superglue. after that, my usb cable work again until now.
by the way, i disconnected the pin number 20,21,22 from (+) positive. disconnect one data pin ( 14 or 15). after that, my USB cable can be used to charge my PPC through PC or the any chargers with voltage >5V. is that usefull huh?. and when i want to Synch, i reconect that pins again. for more convenient, i do it with a Switch with 2 poles.
Hey all, new to the forum.. great site with some great info! I currently own a hermes, and upgraded to wm6.. however, when i connect to active sync through my usb, it gives me this noise (regular usb connect sound doubled) and active sync cannot detect my device. Shortly after it just disconnects and goes to charging. I know this is not a usb port issue because i have tried all ports, connected my digital camera etc etc. What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated... because having 25% of my contacts is a pita!! lol
Are you using the USB cable that came with your phone?
I have many USB devices and find that some of the cables do not work due to the amount of pins that are connected at each end.
Also what version of OS do you use and activesync/WMDC?
I have same problem with WM6 and ActiveSync4.5. I'm using the same USB cable I was prior to upgrading to WM6 and never had any problems back then. Have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling AS but still no luck
Right now, I'm trying to find some other alternatives to AS which can sync Outlook contacts and calendar appointments etc.
Quick question, when you guys connect does activesync get stuck at Retrieving Settings????
I get problems with the actual syncing of information. The device is recognised and sync starts, it just takes ages and can fail sometimes.
Other days it syncs straight away without problems.
WM6 AUS ROM
Vista
WMDC 6.1
Hello all,
Just got a USB/power cradle on eBay for my Diamond only to find that it works great on my XP home PC, but can not find the drivers to connect on my "archaic" W2000 company/work PC. Has anyone else had this silly issue with W2000 and a standard USB charge cradle bought through eBay?? Can't be seen by Activesync or data drive mode after initial connection failure to find driver!!
Diamond connects and syncs fine with just the cable (Activesybc & data drive mode)
BTW: this is definately a USB driver issue, not Activesync or other.....
Thanks in advance
The first week I had my fuze i connected it to my cmputer multiple times. I connnected through active sync and through the memory card in my phone now when in plug it in on the same computer all it does is charge it doesnt show anything is connected or even attempting to connect. I reinstalled activesync,turned off firewall both didnt work. I prefer not to hard reset but if thats what it takes.... Any Ideas?
Partnership
I think I have had this problem before, you may want to try deleting the Activesync partnership from both the phone and the computer, then set it up again.
Good luck
if i delete activsync from the phone how do i reinstall it?
Noooooo
I didn't mean delete the actual Activesync application, just the partnership with the computer.
select manually from settings-connections-usb activesync and then connect wire, then disconnect and set it to storage and connect wire again. The point is to change the purpose of the usb manually between physical connections
