Does XDA II capable with Microsoft bluetooth mouse's adapter

I just bought a Microsoft bluetooth mouse with the USA bluetooth adapter.
But I cannot use bluetooth ActiveSysnc with it. After I get connected with the USB bluetooth adapter, it didnt show me some choice for choosing the ActiveSySnc.

as far as i know that's not possible... i myself have the MS BT Desktop and no luck with my XDA II (but with my Acer BT USB adapter). i hope that xpSP2 does the trick but i had no time to try...

Can you send a email to MS to ask them this question?

take a look here

It does work fine over here - even without XP SP2.
The MS Bluetooth Transceiver uses a CSR-Chipset and can be driven with a WIDCOMM BT-Stack.
Just have a look at this thread:

Or you give the Preview a try... :shock: ... if you prefer the Microsoft way. Maybe this works, too.

Is it possible to connect serial GPS to Magician?

I think someone said it wasn't possible to connect a serial GPS to the Magician but would this work?
http://www.usbgear.com/USBG-4.html
Has anyone managed to get a serial GPS working?
Thank you.

No, this cant be done with any adapter. The Serial Profile over USB is not included.
On the other hand, if you manage to get WM2005 onto the Magician, it might work ;-)

Does WM2005 definately have a serial profile under USB? If it does then I may just wait for a different model.

I really don't know, but maybe some user of WM2005 can shed some light on this.
Maybe you should post in another section like Wizard or Universal.

av-out on wm5 possible?

hello all,
Is it possible to have av-out on my wm5 device?
I have an mini usb with on the other end a red and a yellow plug.
i've already tried to connect but it just doesn't work.
is there any application i can use so i can connect to my tv via av???
My phone is a orange M600 aka prophet with latest dopod rom.
TIA

rebelish, that is just not going to work. I mean that is not a PC usb port. First its a mini-usb, second its not got all the WinXP functions which enable it to be so.
What might be a solution is to have a SD Socket AV-out (haven't seen any), or even try it through wifi... There is a program (forgot the name) which transfers the picture to the PC through wifi, but probably does not work for video.
Cheers.

A.) most PDA USB ports are slave, meaning normal addons will not work on them
B.) there are indeed SDIO cards that provide a VGA/AV output

The only pda I've seen with video out is the Dell x51v. I'm guessing it's a fair custom job, using more than just a mini-usb cable.

ok Thanks everybody for all the clear answers.
I do think it's a shame that we don't have that function already in our pocketpc's but than again we can't have it all.
I think i'am going for the bluetooth pal adaptor now because with that one can do the job wireless and i can show my 2Mega pixel pics on my tv screen.
everybody thanx again
cheers

mini-usb to external drive ?

Hello everyone....
While reading a review about toshiba g900 i noted that it was possible to hook up the unit to a usb flash drive or an external usb hard disk unit using the mini-usb port...
Is that possible on the i-mate , using an appropriate cable and software ?? is it natively supported ??

not on wizard( vide google: host usb).
host usb is what sad devices are lacking(besides overall power) novadays.
was used sometimes in golden era of PPC's.

i mean is that possible on i-mate kjam aka wizard or any imate device for that matter

No, it is not possible since the unit does not have the required hardware for it

Hmmm... One extra reason to get that toshiba i guess .. ... If only there was a toshiba-developers forum LOL ... BTW is there any HTC device with the mentioned host USB capability ??

IrDA on X1

I have a Scuba Diving computer that I use via IrDA on the Dell Axim that my X1 has just been purchased to replace.
Can anyone tell me if it would be possible to use an external USB IrDA dongle with the X1. I've only seen Windows XP/Vista drivers listed against these dongles.
What would be involved in developing a driver?

This might be tricky, as I read somewhere on the forum that the USB port is not powered, and therefore connecting dongles (including e.g. USB drives) is difficult.
The last I saw was that it might have been possible to connect the X1 to a powered port adapter, into which USB dongles were attached.
Would it not be easier to connect X1 to a Bluetooth / IRDA dumb client which is in between the IRDA device?

it require a pda to support usbHost to operate any type of usb devices
as far as i know x1 and most htc pda's dont support usbHost

Sounds like a useful suggestion. Could you point me to the type of device you mention.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

You're right on this one. It's not possible to connect USB devices to the X1 because there's no host. Even with a seperate power source, the X1 will not recognize it. Look at it this way, whenever you connect the X1 through USB, it'll act as a slave, waiting for input. Dongles need input themselves, so both devices will keep waiting for each other forever... It's like a bad fairytale!

This this the sort of device that might enable Price Charming (the new name for my X1) to get together with Cinderella (the new name for my lonely, but very beautiful Dive computer)?
