I have just bought a secondhand Shift and wanted to add xp to it. I've read all and I know how to do that.
anyway here is my question is it posible to synch and flash other htc models from the Shift? or will it only synch with the WM side of Shift?
I'm quite shure it will but just need to have it confirmed if yes or no
Yes it will, you can connect any ppc to the usb port, and sync or flash to your hearts content...
Thanks this will give be the option to cook anywhere then

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
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Kaiser to project a power point presentation, bypassing the need for a laptop, and without the use of an intermediate device like the Margi PDA presenter? I read that the new HTC phones may be able to do that, if so is this a software or special hardware wiring? is it a function of the device being VGA or qVGA display? I would appreciate an explanantion by one of the experts.
You are hearing about a technology that hasn't yet been released... it will be a micro projector built into the phone or as an ipod sized accessory.

If you mean the sort of video output dongle thats possible to use with the Touch Pro and other devices, no it won't work if used with the Kaiser. I've not tried it with my Kaiser, I've just read it here somewhere on XDA-DEV that it doesn't work with a Kaiser.
I am talking about the ability of the new devices e.g. Fuze to connect directly to a TV or slide projector using a special cable from the mini USB on on one end and has RCA connections on the other to attach to the external display device. See this:
http://www.htc.com/us/product.aspx?id=58080
Kaiser doesn't support/have the TV Out feature, this was asked and explain before, just search the kaiser forum and you will get your answer.

Hey guys, I have a piece of software I use from my laptop that datalogs and flashes OBD-II ECM's. Its a very simple software built into a single executable. The software requires .Net 3.5, which I found "Windows Compact Framework 3.5". Now is there a way to install that, and the openport2 usb drivers for the obdII device onto my touch pro and run the software executable from it?
I would really like to run this off my cell phone since its easier to keep my phone battery alive in a car then it is a laptop. Plus its a lot less crap to lug around. Thanks for any help!
No.
.Net 3.5 is different to .Net Compact Framework 3.5 (the latter is mostly a cut down version of the former, but with the required mobile apis).
You can not install windows drivers on windows mobile.
Your cable would not work as the phone is a usb guest, not host. I understand there are hacks to get it to act as a usb host but driver support is limited.
In short: Its a phone not a laptop, sorry!

can i ask what the program is? ive been looking for something simple to datalog on my obdii car.
This people on http://www.autoenginuity.com/ does have an application for connect their OBD II equipment to a Pocket PC. May be with this aplication someone can help you... http://www.autoenginuity.com/dloads/pocketpc_scantool_install.zip
Good Luck
Looks like in order to get that to work, you'd need to get the adapter that plugs into the odbii port, and then bluetooth adapter (http://www.autoenginuity.com/products-hardware.html) unless you've got a serial cable & adapter... might be worth it, let us know if you decided to set that one up... I'm using my SCT and a netbook to log data currently.
Maybe check this out, I was planning on ordering one, but never really got around to it.

Buy a NETBOOK.
I use it with my VAG-COM all the time.
I'd have to second SH4YD33 on that one, I do the same. VAG-COM on my netbook.
I bought bluetooth interface from ebay (noname) and its working with notebook, even connect to my Nokia 6300, but I have problem to connect it to my Touch Pro. I try OBDGauge 1.1. Any suggestions?
Hi there
downloaded a rom with came with modem link program. Then I active USB in that it make Vista demand something called "Generic Serial driver".
Is that a HTC Modem driver?
By the way have tried tried to engage a Bluetooth network something called PAN. But VISTA your device does not support Bluetooth PAN. Is that true that the X1 doesn't support Bluetooth PAN?
A lot of questions All those belong in this forum.
At least, upgrade your WMDC to 6.1. Without that update, both Vista and Windows 7 will have connectivity issues.
Do a google and some Microsoft download page will turn up I guess.
If you have x64, make sure you pick the corresponding update.
had same issue today... just plugged my x1 via usb. Did windows update and thats it

WU didn't find any driver for that device. Whats the exact name of device which I need to driver for?
U have to let Vista (or Windows 7) update drivers thru WU which if I can remember is off by default?
And why would one want old drivers from MS when there's newer from the OEM?
Anywho, Google search for WMDC 6.1 led me to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=46F72DF1-E46A-4A5F-A791-09F07AAA1914&displaylang=en which is the page for "drvupdate-x86.exe".
You need a "Genuine Windows" to download it.
I thought this was a forum for Windows Mobile, not for general use of a computer No offense, dude.

Hi albyXR! Congratulations for your purchase, I am sure that in time you will enjoy it!
Only the 3G modem connection can be activated alternatively from both WinMo and Win7.
Wifi and BT can be activated and work only on Win7 side. You need to activate them in the Shift Control Center, look for it. I use winXP so can't tell you exactly for Win7.
Is the winmob side of the Shift "liberated" or you only can see the SnapVue interface? It is easy to liberate the Shift, do a search for that on this forum, and only then you will enjoy (nearly) all the features of winmob 6.0. Of course the RAM size is quite low, you will not be able to install lots of wm applications. Now with SnapVue you can't install anything at all.
If you'll decide you want more, then you'll have to go for a coocked rom and install it. It will bring you preinstalled applications, plus phone (only through the speaker) and GPS (running on wm in combination with win7).
The HTC Shift is an unfinished job on the winmob side, so it doesn't work with wifi, BT or SD card, only the 3G modem. You can also sync wm via internal usb with the w7 side.
USB and Ethernet are accessible from outside only to the w7 part, not at all to wm.
I hope that I managed to give you an overview on the capabilities of the Shift.
The rest is up to you, but to be successful you have to do your good part of the reading on this forum. You will come to a neat little tool that you will enjoy much.
Good luck.
Hi!
In the official website you can download the wifi driver and reinstall it if needed. Reinstall control center (shagctrl) too if you want.
After that, in win7 side, press the control center button (top-right) and connect wifi. It should work...
but also if i have win7 on my hct shift i can install the driver?the driver are not only for win vista? what is the right link for install the support? and another one things..i had set all of the sound to max but i can't hear any sound from the shift..also if i go on youtube or simply for sistem click..help!! and thanks a lot to everyone!

Need to reinstall driver sound too?
I think you should reinstall all drivers...
Don't worry for the compatibility with vista. The right way is to install as administrator and, very important, with vista compatibility. You know, left mouse clic on driver file (normally setup) , properties, compatibility and choose executing with vista compatibility. It's all.
Install all the drivers in exact order as you will find in the official page, and I recommend you to restart the computer after each driver. If you want, you can check the driver version before.
When you finish, your shift should work well.
Good Luck!

WinXP Tablet PC should be only a little bit faster than Win7, which is much faster than Vista on the stock HPC Shift. The slowest links are the HDD and the RAM, you could replace them both, the HDD with an SSD and upgrading the RAM to 2 GB, please see the posts of RSargeant.
If you decide to skip the XP Tablet PC features (you've got keyboard after all), then with XP Home it will become even faster.
My start-up timings:
2min:30 sec with XP Tablet PC from power up to wifi on
1min:30 sec with XP Home from power up to wifi on
Can't speak for Win7, but for Vista it was nearly 5 min!!!

My shift with ssd and 2gb, starts in 1 min aprox, and works fine all the time. However, there are a problem with TRIM compatibility with this new kind of disk. I don't now exactly what is it, but there are some instructions to fix this problem.
See you.
Hello, I'm Italian, sorry for my bad English. I purchased a shift from a few days and I installed Win7 following the instructions in this excellent forum. And 'everything went well. When I inserted the SIM card is installed Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. This driver has locked the WiFi card, I read in another forum that the Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device and Marwell SDIO Wireless LAN Adapter sd 8686 problems of incompatibility.
How can I do?
I wanted to uninstall Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device, but I do not know how.
Thank you for your help.
