Hi,
I have a question regarding cable-compatibility among the XDAI/MDAI and XDAII/MDAII.
To be specifik, I have a GPS-receiver that I used to connect via cable to my XDAI, can I use the same cable for my MDAII?
If not,
Can I use same cables on XDA II and MDA II?
regards,
L-O
Yes, yes and yes.

Before I dust off my Volt meter, can anyone advise whether I can use my cradle, PSU and PC to IPAQ USB cable, Cigarette charger etc with my XDA II. The accessories belonged to a IPAQ 5450 which was stolen and would be useful if compatible with XDA II. PSU appears to be, but less clear with other accessories. TIA David
The ipaq and the xda/xda2 are wired differently, however I have heard of a cable that will convert the lines and allow the use of certain ipaq accessories, alternatively you could do make one using the pin out info on this site. You can damage your xda if you plug an ipaq power lead into it.
Any update on this cable? Anyone know where I can get 1? I've heard it talked about a lot but I cant find 1 anywhere....
If any of your iPAQ accessories have the plug in dongle then just throw away the iPAQ dongle and replace it with an XDA II dongle (one came in your kit) as the voltage and current settings are the same only the connections in the actual USB dongle are different.
I'm using the AC charger and car charger from my iPAQ H550 (now sold) and they work fine. I also bought a couple of extra XDA II dongles so now I dont have to swap the one from my XDA II kit anymore.
I don't thing you can use the cradle or the sync charge USB unit as they will have fixed wiring and not sorth the effort of trying to modify.

The connector is a standard mini-usb port:
it has only four pins +V USB+ USB- GND.
It does not carry serial port signals.
Could you use wireless instead?
V
yup, you can sync via wireless or over bluetooth....
Bluetooth might be a problem if he's got no usb. But he might be able to get a usb pcmciacard or bluetooth or wireless card.

You could add USB ports to your laptop pretty cheaply.
eg http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3V5S is £14 and has firewire too. (by the looks of it, the description is somewhat lacking!)

i have noticed that my camera usb cabe (or anu ysb cable for standard device) is like magician one.
can i use any usb cable for my magician?
For charging yes, but for updating the ROM i would advise the original as a lot of users here have encountered failed ROM upgrades due to using a different but similar looking cable.
which differences can be?
differents connectors? i don't tkink so..... any ideas?
thanks for youur advice ; )
from what i heard one has 4 wires, the other has 5 but both have 4 pin connectors, i think. not sure, but if you wanna update with that cable, be my guest...
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
The Magician uses the 5-pin mini-usb cable
I use the cable that came with my external card reader, including for ROM updates. It works fine.
Most mini-usb cables that come with card readers are 5-pin ones anyway
Anyone know if the Mini-USB port on the Wizard is exactly the same on all other HTC phones that have a mini-usb connector?
I want to get a sync and charge cable but the only ones available are for the Jam or xv6700 or SP3i. Which one of these would work for my 8125?
thanks
You can use any mini usb cable, i have used my one from my cam before now!!! it is all the same!!! (But that is to the computer, not sure about plug ones)
It is absolutely the same.
I have a lot of USB to MiniUSB cables and can use all of them to connect my Wizard to the PC.
mini usb is an industry standard. Any mini usb cable is supposed to work in any mini usb device, the wizard is no exception ;-)
I've been using the same mini usb cable from a Sony Mini Disc player, to my Motorola Razr, and now my 8125
thanks guys

Can I use any standard USB cable for syncronizing the Blackstone with my PC?
I'm sure you can.

The connector in the Touch HD is a ext-USB but it's compatible with standard mini usb cables (and with my old HTC Universal Car charger and home charger). So you can use any mini usb cables you have (for ex. those usually used for cameras)
The ext-USB standard is required for special headsets like those where you have a minidisplay and buttons for track changing, skip, etc.....
At the moment I don't know if other devices that use ext-USB have been released.
Have fun
Yes the Touch will accept any USB cable, however dont think that the lead provided will work the other way as it does not. Its squared off and will not fit my N95, PSP or any other of the gadgets sitting around
