Using my Jabra 250 Blutooth headset and my XDA 2 connected to the desktop via cradle. Is it possible to 'talk' to the PC, using Voice Recognition in Windows XP, to create a Word document?
Why route the connection through the XDAII at all? Just get a bluetooth usb dongle for your PC and make sure that the widcomm drivers for the dongle support the headset profile.
The XDA is, in effect, a usb dongle, so could it itself behave as one? (Saves me purchasing one)
Hi,
I have a USB GPS receiver that is powered via the USB cable wired into my car which I occasionally use with my laptop.
I would like to connect this to my universal, but am worried about it draining the battery.
I have a small Belkin USB hub that has external power (which I can provide from a transformer in the Cig lighter socket) that has one mini USB socket which is usually used to connect to the PC and then 4 standard USB ports.
If I connect the GPS to one of the USB ports and then Universal to another they should both be powered, but will the Universal be able to 'see' the GPS?
I know I could go and just try it, however it would be useful to know before hand incase it doesn't work when it is supposed to due to some driver issues or something similar.
Any thoughts appreciated.
To My understanding this is not possible, the mini usb port on the uni is not capable....there is a word to describe it but cant remember at the moment. The port can onl charge and sync.
it won't work
Sadly this won't work as the uni does not support usb host - it can charge and sync but thats all as far as i'm aware.
that was it "usb host" :lol:
THanks. That's a shame, I'll have to get a BT one now.
Or look for a cradle that will act as the host for both devices. Sadly when I searched on google, most of the returned results are blocked by my work firewall, so I can't see for sure that one exists for recievers with usb plugs.
edit* Although thinking about it, the price of a cradle could well equal a new bluetooth receiver, and bluetooth would be vastly more practical use of your cash.
Thanks, already trying to track down a BT receiver.
Why not?
What makes me wonder is that when my MDA Pro is connected via activesync with my PC, I can browse with my MDA over my PC-Internet connection into the Internet. Why should it not be possible to use the usb connection of the MDA with other hardware? :roll: Isn't it just a driver problem?
Any ideas???
hm
My thought on that would be that your MDA is acting as the slave device when attatched to your PC, not the host.
Hey, here's a market opportunity for you USB GPS manufacturers - add USB Host capability and TCP/IP protocol to your USB GPS device... What? Can't hear you. Ah, Too expensive?. Ah, ok :-(
has anyone successfully sync using bluetooth? I have sync my XDA mini using my USB cable but I cant using blue tooth... pleasse help :roll:
is it a bluetooth dongle issue? may I know what BT dongle you are using?
I wouldnt have though it was a dongle variation issue as activestink uses the COM port profile.
I actively stink with bluetooth all the time.
LOL, (deliberate typos.). :lol:
I am having a problem with this also
When I pair mt Wizard with my PC via BT it askes me if this is a serial modem, and a couple of other modems, nothing that will allow sync.
Does anyone know if its possible to tether a Tytn to a PC via USB and have it act like a bluetooth receiver so that you can activesync another Tytn thru it.
for example.
PC <--connected via usb--> TyTn1 <--connected via bluetooth--> Tytn2
TyTn2 is then Activesync'ed with the PC
The reason I ask is that I have a Tytn with a broken USB port and I want to sync it with the PC before I get it repaired.
Thanks
Greevous
I don't think this will work.
Why not get a Bluetooth adapter for your PC and sync directly with TyTN #1?
Worst case you use it and then return it...
i need help with my bluetooth connection between my laptop and my mda.
i purchased a kensington usb bluetooth adapter for my laptop to connect to my mda. my laptop detects the mda but laptop is assigning the connection to com port 5 however the mda only allows for com port 6 or 7.
question is how do i make my computer assign a different com port??
please help me!!!
anyone? anyone?
World o' hurt
The only solution I found to this was to delete activesync from my pc -- no mean feat because it is always running, search for "activesynctoggle.exe" -- and delete the partnership and start over, choosing the right com port on the PC the next time.
But that never fixed the ultimate problem, which is that bluetooth would sync once, and then not again until I shut down and restarted my laptop. I finally gave up, as it worked pretty much flawlessly with a usb cable.
I've just bought a laptop with integral bluetooth and I'm hoping that it will sync with bluetooth.
