After using the XDA 1 since its release, I managed to get a SPV M1000. many advantages however Video and Camera are not very good !
Problem:
I charge from my sync when my desktop PC is on however as soon as I swich my desktop PC off the USB loses power ? and stops the charging. Is there a setting for this ? or is this normal ? my XDA 1 does charge from the USB when the desktop PC is off !
any ideas please
however Video and Camera are not very good !

no phone or webcams (cmos chip video )that i've seen is very good quality, suppose thats the price one pay for lower power comsuming and cheap production cost and smaller size
about the xda2 then at least my cradle have a connector where i can plug in the charger adaptor if i want to charge without having my computer on
unless orange use a different cradle which i doubt then you too can plug in that charger if it dident come with the device you can prob buy it or use any charger with the same connctor and power voltage
Im sorted !
Stupid me !
after using the XDA 1 sync for so long, I forgot about the adapter being pugged in to the sync. However the handbook that came with it does not advise on charging so not entirely my stupidity.
thanks anyway
I think it depends on your PC's motherboard too. I have USB power to the cradle all the time, even when the PC is shut down. I don't use the power charger with the cradle ever - it's only for emergencies.
I agree. I have an abit Nf7-s motherboard and the usb port still delivers power when my computer is down
not if you pull the plug it dont
it all comes down to if the vsb 5volts standby
is connected to the usb
when there is an option in the bios to let keyboards turn on ones computer then it should work
if the usb is on a pci card like some of my usb2 cards is then it's up to the card
pretty sure mine dont

bougt a xda2 from ebay,
it works fine but is missing the chargeing unit at the bottom so i can not sync it with the cradle nor charge it, unless i take the battery out and charge it on its own in the cradle, is there any chance this can be fixed,
the actual clip inside is missing so i dont know wether it was soldered on or its a clip and can i get a replacement
any help will be appreciated
also ive tried to sync using bluetooth through active sync but it will not work is this because the initial set up requires the xda to be in the cradle??
Hi There,
I don't quite understand,
Are you saying you don't have the cradle or are you saying there is something wrong with your device?
Are you charging your battery on something other than a cradle?
There is 2 ways to charge an XDA2 in original form
1. Placing it in the cradle and turning the computer on and it charges through the USB. It will not charge if the PC is not turned on i.e. Powered up.
2. Plugging in the charger that connects directly to the machine and plugs into a 220V AC plug socket.
Can you give me a wee bit more info and I will help you out.
I have a spare cradle and a charger and if you need either we can talk business if you need them, but I won't sell you them if you don't need them.
What type of goof sellls an XDA2 without the ability to charge it? If he has ensure you give him some serious negative feedback!!!
Many Thanks
the xda is was bought with all leads and cradle,
i can onkly charge the xda battery in the cradle, as the where the unit sits in the xda that part is missing so it cannot be charged only the batt can be charged every time you wantto use it, i was told you can sync it with ifrared but i dint have infrared only bluetooth
hope that helps
BTW, You can sync with BlueTooth as well.
Are you saying the male plug in the cradle which slides into the female slot in base of the XDA II (when you insert the XDA II into the cradle) is missing?
Sounds like you need to replace the cradle.
A photo of your problem would help us understand.

I think it must be part of the pda thats missing, otherwise the usb cable would do the job.
the bit in the actual pda is missing and not from the cradle, so i cannot connect to it, i can connet via bluetooth but i cannot use active sync, i think i need to have usb / cradle connectivity intially for set up so i can later on active sync, as i want to load tom tom s/w on there and i cant
I got activesync working over bluetooth but I had to install bluetooth tools to do so, have you tried that?
treid that, but when i try to connect active sync does not see the bluetooth, it doesnt even have the option for bluetooth connectivity on infrered or usb
I just bought my JJ and haven't put my hands on it. So pardon my ignorance, but can it be charged via its mini USB slot? The reason I ask is because I saw many sites advertising Lil'Sync cables for charge & sync. When looking closer I noticed that had a PDA2K type connector on one end and a regular USB on the other?
Any comments?
Cheers
Hi
The USB port is the *only* way of charging the JasJar!! Unless you buy a dock that charges a second battery as well I suppose.
Nigel
In other word's, you DO recharge the battery when you sync the Universal!
I can tell you with full confidence thhat the device charges when you plug it into your computer with the USB cable as I have had mine for nearly a week now and I still haven't taken the charger out of the box(!)

yeh it does charge through my USB from my pc, getting it to sync is another ballache that I still can't work out.
I sync with my PC via Bluetooth, it's so convenient. Never used the cable since XDA IIs +IIi and never have any problems with BT syncing whatsoever.
Hi I'd like to know whats the USB pin layout on the O2 Atom as my mini USB plug fell off and I'm trying to solder it back to gather.
So far i manage to get it charging again but I cant get data through it.
Also I wonder if anyone can tell me how to make a USB charging cable so that i can plug it into the PC and charge without activesync(without using WM5storage, just plug and charge) or I can charge via car charger(I know this can be done with a special adaptor but I'd like to make my own)
Help is very much appreciated Thx.
well i suppose that no one really know about it so if possible for those who already have thier Atoms opened up, take a high ress pic of the USB plug showing the pins and post it for me.
thx

Switch off the device (remove battery) and use PC to charge , thats the only way

actually i have a cable(which came with a universal battery pack) that allows me to do what i want but its in a bad shape hence I'd like to make another.
usb is pretty much usb htc's carry audio too but people report that normal miniusb in 1 end and usb in the other works just fine
and any device connected to usb's 5volt and ground get power even if the pc dont see it as a usb device it still provide 5volt and 0.5amps to them
thats how usb cup wamers and plastic dogs humping the usb port works
See here @ Wikipedia for details on pin-outs
I got the HTC cradle today and I was a bit disappointed to see that you need to have the cradle connected to a PC to have it charge and sync. You cannot connect the charger and the sync cable at the same time... is there a way to do it? I just want to be able to put the Pro in the charger in the evening and if my pc is on, sync at the same time
So what's the problem with that? Just connect the charger to your computer and it will charge, and it will sync if your computer is enabled...

Use one of your onboard usb port which are always on (even when the pc is off). And if don't have one, you should get a new motherboard which supports that feature
USB hub with external power supply?
You could try the HTC Multifunction Audio Cable YC A200 or HTC Multifunction Audio Cable YC A300.
I ordered this same one instead of Kidigi model found on Brando. Figured I would just unplug sync cable and plug in AC adaptor that I keep on night stand?
Guys if you have a desktop PC chances are the usb ports are powered even when the pc is off. You can also check for this setting in the motherboard BIOS.

this is how i charge mine and sync with a desktop in my room. Laptop USB ports aren't powered on when the machine is off, though.
I have two laptops... The USB ports stay on when the laptops are in standby mode. If the phone doesn't charge, plug it in before closing the laptop lid (standby).
I can't seem to find a usb to "whatever it is" wire selling..
is it a standard micro USB port?

yes... u r rite... itz a MICRO USB...
But it can't supply power to a USB device, so it can't be used like a PC USB port. It's only good for recharging and syncing.
so if i want to buy an additional wire, i look for a USB to MICRO USB wire right? no need to buy from HTC right?
cause i saw one usb that is smaller but it doesn't fit.. is there a MINI USB port too?
am confused

Erm yes it can,
Actually better take the device with you. Sellers here told me there is like 7 different very similar connectors. However this one should be the standard micro USB, which is supposed to be universal charger/sync cable in the future (at least in EU).
And yes, of course, there is mini USB. And there even are more versions of mini USB, for example HTC used their own.
You had better use HTC cables. HD2 is microusb, but not all microusb cables are good for HD2. Like iPhone, it takes a large charging current, and many no brand cables cannot do it. I've got a third party cable that syncs only, but if charged from the PC, the HD2 will say that the charging current is too small. Battery actually drops when I connect HD2 to PC using this cable (because my options set it that backlight is always on when HD2 is connected). Other combinations are OK:
original cable + AC plug: charging OK
original cable + PC: charging OK
third party cable + AC plug: charging OK
third party cable + PC: "insufficient charging current"
Be careful with cables- you'd be better to buy the genuine HTC version.
Many USB/MicroUSB cables are for charging only, and don't have the data pins connected. Thats OK if you just want to charge it while you are away from your main PC or power supply.
You can also buy a miniUSB/MicroUSB adapter for charging using and older miniSUB charger, but again these don't have the data pins connected.
I bought a number of 3rd party USB to microUSB cables a month ago for sync and charging (office, PC, bedside charging), so far so good... no issues (maybe I'm lucky). The OmniaII uses the same connector, so I'm using the HTC car charger to charge both.
I bought Nokia's cable (for E71,N97,etc.) and it work just fine with charging from laptop. much cheaper than HTC in here.
if you are going for the cheapo option...
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38&_nkw=MICRO+USB+SYNC%26+CHARGE+CABLE+for+HTC+HD2+HD+2+Leo+T8585
i got a couple from ebay - arrived the next day. - charge/sync fine.
charger from iPhone
The iPhone charger coud be used for charging HD2. Just plug the microUSB cord instead of iPhones and ... voila. The same outputs
N86-8megapixel cable doesnt work..
So I managed to leave my HTC cable at work (2 days after getting the Telstra HD2 in OZ) and now I am on 4-5 days leave from work and really want to tinker with my phone. I think I may end up having to go back to work to collect the HTC cable - as below... challenge to get non-HTC cable to work.
I found that my wife's N86-8megapixel nokia has a similar micro-usb cable.
When connected to the PC the phone starts charging and the PC does the "doo-doop" sound a "appears" to connect to the phone, but active sync cannot detect the phone \ sync.
I see others have had success with nokia cables - I am wondering if there is something wierd going on.
