I ordered connectors from gomadic corp for xda but they don't fit perfectly to Qtek 1010. The latch does not work and the arrow markings on the connector need to be facing down instead of up.
Anyone here knows of any source for Qtek connectors?

That's because the iPaq uses the same connector, except facing the other way. There is no specific Qtek connector. Qtek 1010, XDA, MDA, SX-56, they're all the same device: the HTC PW10.
Hi, can you help - 02 can't! I want to connect to the black plug, labled as number 13 - in the car kit user manual. its a short lead from the main thicker wire from the "box" to the xda holder.
What type of plug is it? anybody know where i can get the other side to connect to my other bits of kit.
thanks in anticipation. Simon :shock:
I dont know exactly the connecter but if you have a Maplin store local to you, it might be worth a visit, they have an incredible array of connecters, converters, adaptors etc.
Hello !
I assume that you are talking about the flat connector, if this is the case it's mensioned for data in/out like GPS etc,
For what purpose do you need this connector ?
The connector i am looking at it a flying lead off the main loom from the car kit electronic box to the xda holder. i am looking at using it for gps. i know which wires to use and have the system working fine. its just not a very elegant solution. i would like to make up a short lead using this connector and my gps to offer the system to my parants cars and my sister. the way i have done it would invalidate the warrenty on the car kit.
thanks. simon.
Hello Again !
smart (car manufacture) have a GPS which fits directly to the connector of the harness.
Part nr. is 0015829V001000000 and can be delivered by any smart-Center in Europe. :lol:
Ok this may sound silly and i am new but can someone shed some light as to why there are two external antenna connectors on the Tytn 2. Theres the plastic flap on the back cover for the GPS antenna but if you take off the battery cover you can see that there are two ports next to each other. Are they both for GPS (two different types of connectors since they are different sizes) or is one for gps(hence the plastic flap revealing only one port) and the other for phone signal???
I've had a quick look around for an answer but haven't found much.....
Any help would be appreciated!!

According to page 92 of the service manual (available through links on the Kaiser wiki page) the other connector (WCON1) is a RF port and since it's not covered in the user manual and isn't accessible unless the battery cover is removed, it'll be for factory testing purposes only - ie don't mess with it! The other one is covered in both manuals and is, as you note, for a specific compatible HTC external GPS antenna.
Hi
I am looking for a way to charge HD2 without need to allways plug usb cable to mobile.
Inductive charging would be great, but we are not that far, but HD2 has power connector under his back cover, it is there for charging with car kit. Possible solution would be to use back cover with charging connectors and appropriate charging base. So I would just have to lay my phone on charging base without any connectors.
Is something like that on market?
Thanks
Martin
nope..........
There is in fact such a thing, but i do not know if it would work with the HD2.
I have seen something of that nature at cebit or something, really cant remember which computer convention it was, but it has been reviewed in various mag's
hxxp://www.berryreview.com/2009/10/30/gadget-of-the-week-powermat-wireless-charging-pad/
(change hxxp to http)
I have seen an inductive charging pad system at Carpone Warehouse in UK.
Technically, i suppose it would be reasonably simple for a company like Powermat, or other inductive charging manufacturers to make a replacement battery cover for the HD2 that ties into the contacts on the back of the phone, which were originally going to be used with the car holder, before it got redesigned, and allow recharging of the battery.
Well... Inductive charging... Would be nice.. But:
There must be a coil build in in the back cover and some regulator hardware. That is making the back cover thicker. This might be no problem if they do it right.
An other posible problem is the induction itsef. It is close to the electronics of your phone. What will happen with the signals and even can it damige the electronics?
I would like to have it, but only when it is tested and no risk of dameging the phone and disturbing the signals.
Well Powermat make back covers for iPhone, Blackberry, Nintendo DS so it can't be doing that much damage
has anyone seen a power mat backplate yet ?
I believe from the CET and CeBIT 2009 and 2010 technology was shown for the integration of current wireless charging in mobile phones. I believe HTC has added a second charging connection just below the battery, behind the battery cover. Perhaps a flat coid can be placed at the back of the current cover. The coil can be connected to the secondary charging connection. It was previously inteded by HTC to be used with a special battery cover that connected to the first concept model of the HTC HD2 carkit.
I believe Duracell or another battery company demoed a wirless charging system that could be integrated with current mobile phones. Maybe it is a start to look there?
Even if it worked for hd2 it would charge the battery at very very slow rates (typically @ less than 80ma)
I never have my phone charging through usb...only into my pc when im copying files or flashing Roms
I just got a spare Battery & Desktop Charger, as i work 12hour shifts (listening to music) it comes handy having a spare battery
As long as inductive charging is in it´s childhood-state it´s another waste of valuable energy.
Not for the single phone or person but taken together the ever increasing billions of users it´s a massive waste of resources.
Did You know that the worldwide use of internet (PCs, Notebooks, Netbooks, Phones, Servers, transmission lines, amp-nodes etc.) consume already more energy than worldwide car-traffic ? Should make You think ...............
Hello,
Two quick notes: The Palm Pre battery cover coil has its terminals on the correct side and very close to the charging terminals in the chassis of the HD2, given the amount of room in the chassis. Unfortunately, it looks like the EVO has a larger battery cover, and from the pictures I doubt that the coil assembly would fit length-wise under the HD2 cover. I'm not sure if there are electronics in the "tail" of the assembly, but if that could be removed I think it would be easy enough to find terminal block that would fit in the indent of the HD2. If you look at the Palm assembly you can see the bulge for the coil, the four bulges for the stabilizing magnets (?) and the terminal, I can't see what would be in the tail besides maybe a diode.
Unfortunately, though, the cover of the HD2 is made of metal, which I think would cut down further the efficiency of the inductive coupling of the coils, maybe critically so. If they're using 1A 5V supplies for the base, it might push the supplied charging amperage low enough that it wouldn't be useful. So I think that until someone fabricates a plastic cover, adapting the Palm Touchstone might be difficult.
I do have to disagree that the use of the principles of induction is anything but mature; these inductive charging systems are basically loosely coupled one-to-one transformers, if I'm not mistaken. Engineers made excellent use of inductive coupling a long time ago, if nothing else those tube amps that some folks like so much sure did.
Regards
Any idea what the order is for the contacts below the battery?
I have my palm pixi cover and touchstone. I plan to remove the cover and attach everything to a hard plastic back cover. I just need to connect it to the right terminals.

Unfortunately I have yet to find the pin-outs for these contacts. Please share them if you find the information.
You might get some information from this hack created by Derek Hughes. It looks like he has had a similar idea to yourself. Unfortunately he does not use the hidden contacts under the battery cover, instead he just re-routed the micro usb port, kinda messy and a bit impractical.
This hack was carried by many of the phone and tech blogs. But the links below are from Hackaday.

Good luck.
Can we combine or close this in favor of this one?

I received an e-mail from Powermat today and it looks like they have a receiver of some sort for various phones, HTC HD2 included. Unfortunately the unit is out of stock at the moment. Did anyone manage to snag one?

Hi,
I love the idea of wireless charging, especially with a waterproof phone so you don't need flaps or something like that for the charging port.
Ok, well the charging port of the xperia phones is very nice and I was using a dock quite a long time.
But hey, lets try charging the phone via qi.
This is the case thei the receiver mounted:
Since I decided modding the phone itself is not possible until larger modifications are made I decided modding a case to become a charging case.
The dock-ports are ideal for this.
So I bought a QI reciever. The reciever for the Samsung galaxy note II would do the job because the polarity matches with the polarity of the dock port (the upper one on the phone is the positive terminal).
The first receiver I bought was mechanically perfect because it is very small and thin. I taped it to a QI charger and connected the pins via lab wires to the phone. Unfortunately the receiver starts pulsing its output. I think the phone draws more current than the receiver could handle. Watching the receivers output with a scope showd that the receiver has much ripple and the voltage is around 7 V. This is to much, luckily the phone took no damage.
Here is a photo of the bad one:
So I bought a second receiver.
I'm from germany so, this is a link to german amazon.
You have to remove the 2 gold pins and replace them with 2 spring contacts.
I was using these contacts:
Put the receiver in the case, put in the phone and align it, so the spring contacts can touch the dock connector.
The remove the phone, fix the receiver with some tape and use a 2 component epoxy the fix the part with the spring contacts at its correct position.
Oh, and cut a hole for the flashlight led of the phone.
I used J-B-Kwik.
I uses the glue also at the outside to provice stability:
the case is just a bit to small for phone and receiver but it holds the phone nicely.
I forgot my qi charge at the office so I cannot provice a image with the phone charging, I can take a picture tomorrow.
Yes, the performance would be better if the receiver is mounted below the plastic case between plastic and leather. But is is to big for that. Even cutten the edged is not enough.
Here is a comparison with the old, non working receiver, it is smaller and I cut the edged.
I works well enough.
Hopefully this would be usefull for somebody.
I you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
