Has any one taken a universal apart, or could help me with some guidelines.
Read the Wiki or do some searching.. :evil:
We have the whole service manual of the thing! :roll:

Please post the link of the service manual!!!
Please scan it in if you don't have it in electronic form.
When I say "we", I'm referring to the users of this forum...
It's available for download from the FTP server.. :roll:
And you would know this if you bothered using 20sek on SEARCHING!
A search for UNIVERSAL SERVICE MANUAL gives all the info you need!
quiblet:
You are new to this site; please use the search function before asking. :!:
I find it highly unlikely that your problems are unique and never asked before.
Leek:
I'm at work, so I don't have FTP access.
It should be in the upload folder if I remember corectly.. :wink:
Are you saying I'm not a "user"?
I spent hours searching. I browsed the FTP server.
The Wizard manual is there (Prodigy dah dah dah).
In fact, I helped people find it, by linking to it (see my posts). We're not all clueless, but the site needs improvement as far as linking information. Just a week ago, the Wiki was entirely broken.
I don't see a Universal manual. I browsed around 6 days ago. I haven't seen any recent anouncements of a new one.
The Wiki has no link on the Universal page to any service manual. Lots of technical information and pictures, but no PDF service manual -- nothing like the Wizard's.
I'm a computer scientist and have been programming assembly code since 1985, so it's not like I can't navigate.
leek:
It was there when I downloaded a few weeks ago..
If it has been removed, I shall extend my sincere appologies to you.
I shall allso see if I have a copy on my harddrive when I get home..
Well, it looks like I don't have to appologize at all!
It took me less than a minute when I found a computer with FTP acces..
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Un...C_CONFIDENTIAL_-_UNIVERSAL_SERVICE_MANUAL.pdf
Now, I haven't been programming since 1985, cuz I was born in 1985.
But root\Universal\Manuals etc doesn't seem to be the worst place to look for a manual, is it?
Anyway; I'm glad you took the time to write a constructive reply to my post..
Most people don't bother..
Strange... I did not see that last week when I searched. If it was there, I don't know how I missed it.
I will fix the Wiki (assuming it works again) to point to it.
You have redeemed yourself. And so shall I.
Thanks - I have taken the Universal completely apart.

I have a headset fault that I have tried to fix by inserting the headset several times. And looks like I need a Motherboard. Does anyone know where I can get one????
Try this. You will have to send it to them I think.

Do i need special access to the ftp site?
Been trying to access to the ftp server and look at the service manual. but then it just say permission denied when i key in my user name. Do i need any special rights to enter the ftp site?
You need to right click on this link, select copy shortcut, open your browser and paste into the address bar.

eh? surely all you need is a 3.5mm 4 point headphone jack? the usual fault is the detection microswitch 'sticks' in place and closes the circuit so the phone always thinks there is a headset attached. What makes you thnk you need a board? And why isn't your unit under warranty being less than a year old? :?: ( exec brand universals have 2 years)
Richard
p.s if you *really* need a board drop me a pm.
Thanks for the info !
I have the 4 point jack that came with the unit, as for the microswitch is there any way to reset it ?? manually.
I bought my unit from Ebay shortly after the unit developed this fault and the O2 warranty states that the original purchaser only can use the warranty, HTC Europe on reading the website will repair it but for a charge.
So I'm painfully living with the fault currently.

Does the microswitch work? Have you put a metre accross the contacts and checked it? Usually they just stick rather than fail, but they are available as a spare if you look hard enough. ( Farnell's / CPC etc )
HTCeurope will not ( from experience ) repair XDA branded units. As for the warranty not being transferrable according to their terms, threaten to sue as it's against your 'hooman writes' or summat- works for me :wink: ( but never tried with o2 )
Richard
Where is the microswitch ????
Where can I measure on the actual headset jack??
Thanks

It's *inside* the socket, when you insert the headphone jack plug, it depresses to detect insertion. You measure across the contacts.

I see 4 contacts on the top of the Jack plug, I have measured for open & closed circuit but have come to no conclusion - to fix this If I unsolder the heaset Jack and then turn the unit on again will this cancel the microswitch just to prove the fault?? Then I will buy another jack??
Your thoughts

hi,
this is my first thread here, sorry for my bad english - but i'll try my best.
i want to connect my xda2 with the 22 pin-connector for mp3 in my car.
in your conectors-page is a note:
Audio needs to be capacitively coupled in, any DC bias seems to inhibit audio
i want to ask, what c is needed here? (how many farrad, what kind of C)?
please can you give me some tipps?
is there anyone who has built such a connection? is this a good way to connect the xda2 through the car-radio, or is it better to connect via audio-jack?
my opinion: i found it very uncomfortable to connect first the audio-connector (specially in the dark), and i would be very happy if it works through the 22-pin connector.
please please...gimme a tipp.
or did anyone connect the xda2 and car-stereo without couple-c?
c'mon please, a little answer and i'll be happy.
anyone must have finished a 22pol-connector by himself, or am i wrong?
ty
frustrated...(bad first experience)...
you may be asking too much of a technical question for the cuurent people who watch this board.. i get the impression that the xda-developers site started out with a lot of smart people reverse engineering and dismantling the devices, but its now become more of a software tech support site than a hardcore HTC guru site..
Hi there sorry to hear you have had a bad experience.
as stated xda-dev no longer is as good as it used to be.
i had a quick look at the diagram and from what i can see you should not need capacitors at all.
from what i can see if you connect up pins 3 and 4 to the necessary inputs on your stereo the sound is fine.
a problem i can see however is that to get output on these pins you need to attach pin 19 to ground with a 10k resistor...but this will also redirect the microphone so you wont be able to use it as a phone whilst you have it plugged in unless you also build in a microphone (mind you this should be pretty easy if you wish to do it).
hope that helps
Tim
I sold my mda vario on ebay, i took it apart and cleaned it beofre i sent it off, i checked it was working all bar making any calls on it...the buyer is sending it back saying no one can hear them on it and that they took it into a shop and was told the mic was not working....im very suspicious (i wish i had made a call on it before i sent it out !!!) and wondering if they have swap a part over or something....i have read several threads regarding a HTC diagnostic program and have also read about it in the service manual, none of these threads have been answered and i have looked on the ftp site but can find no reference to it....IS IT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE HERE !!????...you basically install it to the sd card and it runs from there....you help would be greatly appreciated.
Greetings @all,
first sorry for my terrible English.
The Ameo (Athena) is a great device and i really love it,
but there is something that let me go mad.
I´can´t find a GPS Patch Antenna for the device.
T-Mobile tell me that they can´t help me.
HTC doesn´t Answer until now.
Does any one know wich kind of Patch-Antenna I need for the Athena ?
I tried until know a Patch antenna for the Thypoon 3500, a MCX-Antenna and a MMCX-Antenna but they all doesnt fit. MCX was really close but still didn´t.
I need one because in my Car i have a Front Window with heating.
For any answer or hint i will be verry happy.
Jack
Are you SURE you need one? My ford has front screen heating, but the GPS works perfectly! The chipset seems to be pretty darn sensitive! I'm not sure the connector - in fact, which aerial socket is it on the back, the left or the right?
Look in the artemis forum
Look in the Artemis section. The premium package came with one, and I kept mine after selling the unit as non-premium. However, I have really not had to use it on any device yet.
There's a thread in there with part number etc.
Thanks, for the quick reply.
@Digital.Diablo:
sorry but i´m sure i need an external, i already tried it and i became no Satelites - I tried it with the programm Falk Navigator Pro SC and i´m driving
a Ford Focus Turnier with a new front screen heating. The Original one was heavy damaged by a stone.
@victoradjei
I will try the one for the Artemis with the Ameo(Advantage/Athena) and i will Report if it fits. I don´t find in the Artemis Forum the Name of the Connectorpin. Did you know its Name (for example: mcx )?
Greetings
Jack
It's Motorola standard antenna.

It might not be that you need an antenna.Check all of your settings! I am not familiar with your mapping software,but there is a thread somewhere regarding problems with other map software and how they solved it.
I can use mine inside of a 10 story building with Tom Tom on it and it works excellent!
Hope this helps..................Later
mine doesn't work in nearest and costliests car or on foot in most heavily wooded either(more important for me).
so If the parch antenna works please let me know. I'm loathe to carry around my bt gps, it's something else I'd need to carry an extra charger for!
unfortunatly, Artemis hasn't MMCX. I have GPS Shop and i checked it out.
@hdbueller:
well, outside the car i have no Problem to get a Sat fix.
also oh the rear window anything is fine, Tested it earlier just for fun.
@fards: I already tested mmcx and mcx both didn´t fit
I tried this product´s:
http://www.dealcatshop.de/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=85
and
http://www.dealcatshop.de/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=158
@MrHagen: you wrote you have a GPS Shop. Could you check wich one fits to the HTC Athena/Advantage X7500/T-Mobile-Ameo ?
@all: by the way, a lot of thanks for all your replies
Right now i wait for the Artemis Patch Antenna, in hope it will fit.
I will report, promise
Greetings Jack
Sounds like your windows are metallized. You could try driving with you're windows wound down! Let us know how you get on!
After Long Time waiting the Artemis Patch Antenna arived on Saturday,
I Tested it and damm doesnt fit. The Connector looks right but didn´t fit through the case. The hole ist too small for the connector.
Has anybody an Idea where i can find one that fits.
Greetings Jack
If i get a chance I'll ask gpsforless.co.uk
If they don't know but have a selection in stock I can call in and test some out on the way home from work if they'll let me..They aren't far from me

Jack
That's cool or maybe not...
Spoke to gpsforless last week, they hadn't got a clue what it was likely to be, not had a chance to call in yet as been working odd hours.
Connector: MS-147-C(LP)-2 HTC list that as the same as the P3300/artemis, Jack was your original patch cable a branded HTC one? it's the same item if it is.
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=147380&p=tech
Damm sounds not good, yes it was an Original HTC cable i ordered by expansys.de too. The Connector look´s right but doesnt fit through the hole in the Ameo metal case

use Fring for windows mobile on my Trinity.
It's quite convenient to have so many different messengers in one unique soft.
But I can't find a way to change my status from online to let's say, away, invisible, busy etc.
Anyone can tell me how to do?
Or maybe someone can confirm that it is impossible to do it?
bump, as having searched for it i still cant find an answer!

Since then I found the answer on Fring website:
There is no way (so far) to change status on Fring on windows mobile system.
The function is available for symbian systems but not for PPC.
It is supposed to be implemented in future versions, but hasn't been released so far.
I´m sorry dude but this is toooooo much....the thread is named Trinity Mobile 6....this forums are gone to far.....Sorry if I am mean to you...but come on....use flipping Google....
I don´t care if your xda has wm6,don´t try to get any help related to Fring....I know you do whatever you want...and you are free to ask.
1)
you are not mean to me since your post is irrelevant and meaning-less, so for me it doesn't even exist.
2)
I know it is a wm6 thread, but if you check thouroughly, you'll notice there is always reference in this thread to some common soft (such like instant messengers), and even more particuliar ones such as vibrators etc. and comments and help come though.
3)
when I posted this topic, I did the same in the General thread of the forum, just in case, and no more help came by that time.
So I guess it is not a matter of thread, but just a lack of interest, knowledges or time.
4)
In any case I found the answer and since unlike you I'm not unhappy enough in life to become mean on such little things, therefore It was my pleasure to help Andehh a hand, or anyone else who would come across this information about Fring's version.
If your Pioneer car stereo which you bought at Walmart is broken, do you go to your car dealer for warranty, or to Walmart?
Think about it!

Who talked about warranty?
It was only a matter of functionality ON WM6.
Therefore, there is not only questions about the ROM itself but also about the way it works on our devices and its compatibility with some softs.
Just exchange of information and experience. It's not about seeking for seller responsability but more about something called free help and exchange.
Something u never heard about, I know.
Doesn't matter, Andehh and I understood and had that exchange.
No flooding about your car warrant please!
Hi folks,
The USB connector on my Universal (an O2 XDA Exec) came loose a few weeks ago, so it's basically useless to me. I managed to get some charge into it by very carefully positioning it with tweezers so that it rests on the PCB correctly, but that's too much hassle for daily use. With the charge available, I did a factory reset to clear the onboard memory.
Other than that, and the main camera not working, everything is fine; the ROM is upgraded to WM6 thanks to the good folks here.
If somebody in the UK wants it for spares or whatever, just let me know - no fee, but something to cover postage would be appreciated, or I'm based near Staines if you want to meet up to get it. Please reply to this thread, so that everybody knows when it's taken.
Cheers,
Darren
Hi Darren,
I'd appreciate it, if it's still available please. I'll PM you
Is it still available? I'd really could use a screen!
Thanks!
Hi Darren
I would very interested in the Uni if is still available as mine needs a few bits and pieces after a dodgy recasing effort by a so called expert. I live in the UK and will gladly cover your postage.
If still available please PM
Hi folks,
Sorry for the late response. My XDA Developers account profile had an old email address, so I didn't get notified of your replies.
As the first person to reply, xiasma gets the phone.
Cheers,
Darren
