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.

Hi there,
I was using Mapopolis GPS software ver 3.20 on my SX-56 and it was working fine with the GPS reciever being picked up on COM 1. Suddenly one fine day, the Mapopolis software would not work at all and the phone for some reason would not detect the reciever on COM 1. I re-booted, re-installed and eventually blew my ROM and thus the phone entirely trying to work the GPS but to no avail. I kept trying since when I connect the GPS reciever even now directly to my laptop, it still works fine so I assume there is nothing wrong with the GPS unit itself!
I have just bought a new T-Mobile WM 2003 unit and after installing mapopolis on it, it still is not working on the GPS and giving me the exact same problem. I have put it on "autodetect" and it goes in a loop on the COM Ports and starts from COM3, then COM8 and then COM9 then back all over again...it does not even start from COM1...when I remove "autodetect" and set it on COM 1, it keeps saying detecting and nothing happens, I've left it like that for more than an hour!
I'm just wondering why it was working before and not anymore? Any suggestion or ideas are more than welcome! Are any program trying to block the COM1? If so, how do I get rid of them or free the COM1? I'm stuck...
Thanks.
Try to deactivate the beam of IR port.
Or take a look if the Activesync doesn't use the com port.
It you're using a IR external Keyboard deactivate it...
Bye, M.
Re: COM Problem
Sir,
You are a king!!! Just saved me from blowing up yet another fantantic PDA!!! I don't know how to thank you, it was the IR port occupying the COM and it is working great now after I disabled it!!! Just a small question for you, is it possible to fix my old PDA which I totally messed up because of re-setting etc etc.? I have the problem posted on:

tv tuner
Is it possible to use mda2 as a monitor to watch tv out of home, connecting it to an usb-tv tuner?
Re:
I doubt it since the USB-TV Tuner would require a USB port for a connect through and I do not know of PDA which have that, but then I may be wrong....
The other day i saw a USB port on one of my printer at work and i was wondering is there a way to print from the wizard if i plug the phone up using the usb port?
never heard of it... i tried only to print via bluetooth and it didn't work (even if i tried with serveral roms)
i read somewhere Wizard's usb is passive, doesn't have an automount. So i think you should find or develop a program to manage printers and usb drivers to print.
Is it 'PictBridge' you are talking about??
Mag be you or someone els can find a way to use the PictBridge standard/protocoll to print.
Alltrue i read somewhere that the usb port on the Wizard is not an 'host usb port', that means the wizard cannot controll any devices but the other device(ie laptop/pc) will controll the wizard.
So i dont know if there is a way you can print by using the usb port.
I have a piece of old equipment at work that i use a DOS program and a USB to serial adapter with a null modem cable to back up files off of the equipment. I installed DOS box and it runs my equipments program perfectly. Is it possible to communicate through the XOOM's USB port to my equipment using a USB to Serial adapter and null modem cable to do this with? Any help or advice would be great.
Thank You,

I guess I should take that as a NO!!!. I will pay to make this happen though!!

those usb to serial adapters use a Prolific chipset. Linux requires a kernel module to work with them. I suspect you'll need to build the kernel module and add a script to insmod it.
My boss will gladly pay someone to get this to work. If there are any Devs that want this project contact me and we can get this going. I know i can approve 1K to make this happen.
It can be done.
I have currently got my xoom setup so that I have a usb serial adapter connected to it for debugging purposes.
Do you know what chipset your usb to serial adaptor uses? I can then check if it is supported by the linux kernel.

I'm in. We'll start research. Sounds like fun.
Sign me up too. I would love to serial into Cisco devices with my xoom.
The following pieces of information i have already:
My usb2serial Adapter uses the prolific pl-2303 chipset
it is driven by the pl2303 kernel module.
the module depends on the usbserial module, which is already in tiamat as well as stock (its needed for the 3g modem i think)
So if i am correct we need the pl-2303 kernel module and a piece of software (minicom, cu) to use the serial (as far as i know there is no software in the market for this)
ok, i took a quick look at the tiamat git repository and it contains the pl2303 driver.
Now i am going to try to compile my own tiamat kernel
First time compiling linux for an android device
I would love to see this happen. I have tons of Cisco swithes and routers that I always have to configure on the fly. I know I can buy a bluetooth adapter but still have to power that :-( Would love to be able to hookup my otg cable, then my usb to serial, then to my console cable to configure everything.
Just not sure how to get the usb serial drivers installed on android :-(
If this ever gets working then my IT dept. will be getting a Xoom as well.
Thanks,
Ken~
Any updated news on getting this to work? Really don't want to spend $60 for a bluetooth serial adapter.

I can try and include a few optional modules for the next tiamat release for usb serial devices
This is an old thread but in case ...
I also have to do serial communication with an old printer.
For now, I'm trying to prototype with an arduino mega using a trendnet usb to serial adapter.
I'm using the sample app on the market of this lib :
http://slickdevlabs.com/slick-usb-2-serial-library/
I actually can send and receive bytes on the xoom.
The only problem for now is that characters receive or send are not correct. I Don't understnd but still searching.
Any way, it should work ...

install bt5 and then install minicom under bt5. The pl2303 module with the pl2303 usb serial adapter does this very well.
bt5 you mean "backtrack 5" ?
I must use default rom ... My customer doesn't wan't to loose it's warranty ...
And usage of Motorola xoom is sure.
It might be another tablet.
Using capabilities that only requre Android 3.1 (without root) and a USB Host allow to change of device easily.
Hello everyone,
I am taking networking classes and I was wondering if it's possible, instead of carrying a laptop with me, to use my SGS2(rooted) to configure switches/router with.
I bought a female to female usb adapter, and i also have a USB to serial cable. So all the cabling is fine, but still when I open a console emulator i get nothing going there...
I believe it may be parity related, but there seem to be no console parity settings on any of the terminal emulators that i was able to find on the market.
Usualy, if you extablish a console connection from a laptop via USB, the usb port gets defaulted to COM3 or COM4. Do android devices have a defaulted COM port to the usb connection, Is there a config file where I can change it, or is it supported at all?
any help would be appreciated,
thanks
good day to everyone. firstly, i would like to thank you for having the time to read my post.
well basically heres my inquiry, my unit is the alcatel tab t10. i never had any problems with it until recently, my device's usb port suddenly stops working.
tried unchecking the usb debug mode, tried checking it but to no avail, the usb still does not work. it doesnt seem to connect to my laptop. tried changing the cable.
i also tried connecting my device to my brothers laptop.
correct me if im wrong, but when the usb fails to connect to any laptop, their should be a notification in the laptop that the device is not recognized. but in my condition, no notification shows up. its like my device does not really connect at all.
oh and if it helps, i bought an otg cable before it started malfunctioning. but the only thing i had conneceted to my device is a wired mouse and a wired generic gamepad, which both seems to be working perfectly fine.
also, if i connect my device to a wired mouse, it would work perfecly fine. i could also connect to a usb flash drive, that is via the otg cable.
so whats weird is that the usb cable does not work, but the otg cable works fine.
if you have any question or any suggestion , i would truly appreciate it.
Hmm.....well the good thing is the port itself isn't "dead" as you can still utilize it for OTG. My only suggestion is make a backup of all your apps and data and try a factory reset.

thank you for the suggestion guitarman2010. unfortunately my usb port isnt still working. i also reflashed my device's current firware. but still wasnt the solution i was looking for. i was just wondering if there is a directory under the root folder that holds the devices usb driver? would it be possible that the device's driver itself got deleted? i wam still at awe that the otg cable still works like a charm.
and another thing, is the male usb pin the same with the flash drive's pin? cause if i connect the usb cable to the otg cable it wont work, but the flash drive works normally.
sorry for the amount of question im posting
thank you very much for the suggestion. especially when u told me that the port itself wsnt dead. i can now breathe easier..
and future suggestion and advice would be appreciated.
do you guys know how to access the phoneutil in tablet? maybe i should change the usb option to pda? but i heard that its only applicable to samsung 4.0.3 devices? suggestions are appreciated.
