Can the XDA use bluetooth?????

Anybody know if there is a way of connecting bluetooth on the XDA

(Has been answered quite a few times)
No, you cannot connect any accessories to the XDA, because it only has an SD card slot, and even this slot takes only SD memory cards and not the much more versatile SD-io cards.
The USB port, the only other hope, only does usb in 'slave mode'. This means it can be a device towards a computer, but it can't play the role of computer ('master') towards other 'slave' devices.

Bluetooth
Yes I use the Jabara Bluetooth wireless headset with excellent results. It does require plugging in an adapter which hangs off the phone from the mic jack, but it is well designed and works great. For me the extra equipment is not a problem since it sits on the car seat most often.

Where to by the Jabara Bluetooth headset ?

www.jabra.com

Hi guys! Thanks for your valued labours! I know these are boring questions to you, but.......
Are there any chinks of light in the 'Bluetooth tunnel'?
Is there any possibility that in the future the sd port could be modified to sd/io?
Could an sd/io slot from another PDA be modified to fit in place of the sd or are there other reasons why this won't work?
And finally, will the upgrades mentioned on xda-developers.com work over here (GB)? And will they really allow me to connect wifi to my laptop, thus allowing me to use my XDA as a modem?
Sorry I'm so technically challenged.

bluetooth on xda using jabra connection?
Can you actually active sync o2 xda and the desktop pc
using bluetooth jabra connection? I mean using the
new Jabra free speak for pocket pc phone on O2xda
and then active sync with your desktop pc with the bluetooth
adaptor on th desktop pc and then active sync.....does that work?
Has anyone try that? That might be the answer for bluetooth on
o2 xda?? 8) or just not possible?

For obvious reasons, the number one being that the jabra connects to the headset connector on the phone, it can not be used for anything but a headset.

internet surfing on Xda using desktop high speed connection
So there is no way to use bluetooth on O2 xda with the desktop.
But you can synchronise the xda and desktop and then surf
the internet on O2xda using desktop's high speed internet connection.
Also it is faster and cheaper then using GPRS on the xda. Only thing
is why would you want to do that when you can use desktop.
Furthermore you need a very long connecting cable to move about
the house unless you can find a way to hookup bluetooth....which I am still searching for a way to do it. Maybe the new version of o2 xda or similar products will have bluetooth incorporated...or is there one out there now? I would be glad to find out.

Does Diamond has USB host?

Ok i read a few posts here that diamond has usb host. Depending on the information how you can flash your rom using card reader it must have. And one thing more i found usb host debuging program. So i think it must have.
The question here is - does someone managed to use it for hard drive or keyboard or something like that ?
Regards

IIRC, the USB host functionality is only available in the boot loader, and there is no driver included for when WM is actually running.

Ok but cant it be included somehow in the windows ?

Diamond does not have USB host functionality. AFAIK, currently only X75xx series offers it.

And the Toshiba G900 has it as well. And it was frickin awsome .....

Last call !!!!
I am trying to draw an attention of experts/cooks again.
Please could somebody elaborate problem of an USB host within Diamond. Is it really impossible to add/implement the USB host driver into Diamond ROM or somewhere else to have that feature in? I simply do not believe in that.

its possible....but the diamond lacks developer's support , sadly

That maybe true, I don't know, but I'm sure the Raphael doesn't, so perhaps look for a solution in that forum?

If i knew how to write one i would do it -.-

USB Host
any conclusions yet? does this mean that the diamond has hardware in it, but does not have the driver? have anyone tried this cable? http://www.nazo-fjt.com/ptcep/w-zero3/es_usb.html
it's in japanese though, but in seconds through babelfish, it is readable in english.
anybody?

for example: anyone can modify RescoExplorer. so when you connect a pendrive to diamond, by resco you can see the pendrive as a second storage......i think thath the logic is this...

any news about this?I'm very interested in it...

There are news! It's there! Now we'd need a host driver and then a lot of Windows Mobile drivers for a lot of devices (what about watching TV with DVB stick? *fg*).

so do what about our WinMo's... I think its only for androids

Bluetooth Dongle

Hi all, Thanks for reading.
It seems that all bluetooth dongles do separate things. I am looking for an all singing, all dancing dongle! My new laptop does not have bluetooth! Can I anyone give me any recommendations? Is there anything I should look for?
Thanks
Will

make sure its blutooth 2.0 with EDR (enhanced data rate)
i get 1.5Mbps+ speeds with EDR enabled dongle...
also make sure that the dongle supports maximum no. of profiles...
i'm not sure if u should be asking this question here.....

Thanks for your help.....No I wasn't convinced either! BUT I thought I want it relevant to the Diamond device, because that is what I am pairing it with as well. I know it is not an APP, Accessory, or Upgrade? Oh! Possible in Accessory! Having written it I see what I should have done? I was thinking Bluetooth as a whole not as a dongle!

Is it possible to connect a USB keyboard to a Diamond?

Is this (as title) possible, I mean there are these foldable silicone keyboards wich are small and easy to take with you, but is there any software which makes it work?
Thanks in advaced

I was able to achieve this with my TyTn II and my diNovo edge. But as far as Iremember the behaviour was quite strange with non standard char (àéô...).
I tried just 5 minutes, just wanted to see if the dinovo edge was able to achieve it.

Some say there is...

Ouatch, sorry guys; I didn't paid attention. I connected it through bluetooth and not USB.
As far as I know HTC devices does not have USB host capability so it should be impossible to achieve this through USB.

Athena does
and of cause htc shift

I believe the diamond must have a USB host, if you look at the service manual, there is a option to flash the phone with an external SD Adapter, there is only one logical way i can see this happening,
USB Host

I think we just need to wait to a driver or something to activate the host function in diamond!

USB Host Cable

RS 232 / Serial

Hi,
I allways believed there is no RS232 on HTC Devices. Today I found something that confuses me:
http://bestcelldist.com/htc_tytn_ii_serial_data_cable.html
and this:
http://www.ppc-phones.de/index.php?site=ppcphones/htc_p4550.htm
is this Real? - where can you buy such cables? anybody a Wiring diagramm?
As our Devices miss USB Hosts maybe this is a chance to attache some custom Hardware.

Daniel

I know it doesn't work? Or am I wrong?

Interesting. Anyone ever give it a try ?
They do have a free download available...

I read the manual and they say: "To connect a USB device to your Pocket PC, your mobile device must have a USB Host connector. Not all Windows Mobile Devices have it."
Kaiser do not have USB host.
I also believe that you cannot draw power from USB. So this leaves BT mouse as only option.
