Im not sure which tool you are using but im using Carly with Universal adapter and UniCarScan adapter for BimmerCode and it works great.
this is a gap iidtool. its very specialised to Land Rovers so I don't really have another option.

I have a need to use an XDA as a PDA and I have a laptop USB to COM port emulator.
Can an XDA accept a USB/COM adapter?
Why?... It is a radio amateur thing and I will be controlling and obtaining feedback signals from the COM port device that I connect to my radio.
All coded in VB.Net and works fine on a laptop and I can get it to port to Windows Mobile 5.0 fine but now need to obtain USB (Host?) to COM ability.

Dom

Any answer on this would be handy for me too...
Would make terminal connection to network devices a hella lot easier on the move - rather than booting up the whole lappy.
Is there a *good* terminal emulation proggy (terraterm style) available that anyone knows of?
The Universal should be able to utilize a Bluetooth-to-RS232 device..
It can not use a USB-to-RS232, because the Universal lacks USB Host functionality..
As for the terminal software; I used z-term on my Himalaya..
I found it to be very good for my use..
Hi!
im just wondering if there is a possibility to use my HTC Touch Diamond as a GPS dongle to my Macbook?
Anyone know if there is a app for that or something?

Solution! Further way down
Okey guys!
it was a long time since i wrote here, but i actually solved the problem!
as mr-pill recommended i used Franson GpsGate
I installed the program with the .CAB to my memmorycard not the internal storage.
after installation i went through the wizard and i chose only internal GPS not garmin or bluetooth.
After that you got the option how you whant to sync with the other units, i choose bluetooth, make sure you have you phone paired with you macbook.
the in you program hope for that it supports bluetooth GPS.
and your done!

Nope nothing i cant get it to work :S
how shall i connect my device to my macbook? Bluetooth? USB cable?
Whan i choose BT it just says that BT not enabled even if it is :S
Very strange? IF USB shall i take Storage och Active Sync?
Keep us posted, I want to do the same thing except with Windows XP. If you do get it figured out would you mind posting how you did it? Thank you in advance
The only advice I can give you is: If doing via bluetooth you need to make sure the program is looking at the correct COM port otherwise it will never "see" the gps.

I had some fun with GPS2Blue yesterday, but finally got it working. As well as getting all programs to look at the right port, you need to create an incoming bluetooth serial port on the phone for it to work - you can easily create an incoming port on the PC easily (you'd expect to want your phone to access services on the PC, not the other way round, right?), but as I understand it's not quite so easy on the phone.
Managed to find these instructions and got it working perfectly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499896&highlight=gps2blue
EDIT: This will work for all GPS applications that uses a serial GPS receiver, not just those that explicitly support bluetooth receivers (I got hold of some very old free software and it works fine). The bluetooth linkis handled by Windows/MacOS and all the app sees is a serial port.

I know usb bluetooth adaptors are pretty cheap but I'm stuck without one at the moment and am curious if someone has worked out a way to use an android device as a usb reciever. I'll probably get one eventually but if there is already some method out there it could hold me over until then.
You are not being even slightly clear about what it is that you are attempting to accomplish. Yes, the DREAM has a bluetooth radio. You can use it to attach to certain supported bluetooth devices, like headsets.

I think he wants to use the G1 as a USB Bluetooth dongle for his PC. And if that is the case, I have no f'n clue if anything like that can be/has been done.
Tethering is the thing I miss most - and the reason I still carry my g1 with my laptop.
I have heard that htc sync offers connection shareing - but I use linux.
What does everyone else use? Hopefully there is one of you out there with a good linux solution

I was using Proxoid with my BH2 with Ubuntu. It wasn't fun to set up, but it worked well.
On this note, anyone get Bluetooth DUN working on win7 via PDAnet?

I don't know if there's a solution for linux, but I had been using PdaNet with my G1 before I got the slide. I assume that it would still work. You should check it out in the market.

same question here. i'm probably just confused with the setup tho =[
does the help
Straight from junefabrics the ppl that made pdanet
Bluetooth DUN does not require installing anything on the computer end. So it supports all operating systems. You can install the phone piece directly from Android market.
After enabling Bluetooth DUN in PdaNet, you need to pair your computer with the phone. Use the Bluetooth configuration software on the computer end to look for the Android pone and pair with its "Dial-up networking" service. After that your bluetooth software should create a new dialup network connection over the Bluetooth modem. Use "123" as the phone number and blank username/password.
Again make sure you connect using the Bluetooth software that comes with your computer. Do not use the PdaNet Desktop client which is only for USB connection.
Since different systems come with different Bluetooth configuration software, you can simply Google "Bluetooth Dun setup instructions on YOUR_COMPUTER_OS_NAME" if you need more help.
also it says on there that only dun works on linux but u will have to to website for that
easy tether??
Has anyone tried to use easy tether? it automatically sets up tether through usb not sure if it works haven't tested it.

Saw this, but didn't work. Plus i think 123 is for Sprint, TMO is *99#, I think.
I have used both easytether and PDANet free version. They both work about the same. you install one app on the phone and hook up via usb to the computer and the computer downloads the drivers needed. very fast and easy setup and besides installing an app and plugging in usb cable you don't have to do anything. It worked great for me but it does require you connect via usb so would not be wireless by any means. I was connecting to a windows 7 computer.
figured out the bluetooth dun w/ pdanet.
if you've already tethered via usb, you should have 'PdaNet Modem' in your network connections.
right-click into its properties.
under the General tab & Connect using: , you should see the option 'Standard Modem over Bluetooth link #_'. make sure it is checked.
and the phone number is 123. username/password left blank.
apply all changes.
open pdanet on phone.
enable bluetooth dun.
it should pair the two.
connect to PdaNet Modem on computer

I have a odb2 engine monitoring program that i ran on a palm IIIc. The pda crapped out on me the other day. Is anyone willing/able to port this over to work on my HTC Hero?
The program itself has always been free as long as I can recall. The product that you bought was a cable with some sort of module on it so this shouldn't be a warez problem. If it is my apologies.
This is the download link:
http://www.ls1m.com/demo/LS1M_v1.7e.zip
There's an .exe in the zip that you run from the desktop to install to the pda.
This is the website:

I don't even know if it is possible, it would be amazing if it was though. LMK
Thanks!
No one? Don't be scared to tell me it can't be done if that is the case. Is there a better place to ask?

I'm guessing that the hardware in the cable does most of the heavy lifting. It looks to be a CAN to RS232 cable so the app would just have to deal with serial communications. Unfortunately, I don't think most androids have any kind of serial connection.
That's how I think it works too. Yes it is a serial cable, i was just hoping to use a serial to usb adaptor, then usb to mini usb cable. I'm a dumb dumb, so I don't know what it would take for android to handle it.
This is just something that I envisioned, I have no idea if it is a practical task or not.
Thanks for the input.

As far as I know, the android USB is "device" only. To use it with a RS232 adapter, you'd need a USB "host" device.
I have the solution to your woes. Check out the app called Torque on the market. My favorite app on android period. It can do everything your palm app can 10X. It uses a bluetootb odb2 adapter. They're 26 bucks on ebay. I use the program on my S2000 for datalogging and its a godsend. Buy the paid version, the developer responds to requests and is constantly updating the program.
