traveling issue - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

OK I really need your help. Read some forum but still confused. I am out of town for a business and in a hurry I just picked up my plug for my XDA II without that little adatpor that fits into your phone. Can I just pick up an adaptor for bestbuy for an ipaq? Any suggestion how I can charge this baby? I have the plug but not the adaptor that fits the phone. thank you

go to this page

and read
Modifying iPaq accessories

The quick answer is NO. The power dongle for an iPaq will fry your XDA II device. The connectors are the same but the pinouts are not. Don't do it!
As Rudegar posted above, you can modify the iPaq power dongle to work with the XDA II, but I don't think I would have the necessary tools to make this conversion while traveling, and I suspect you do not either. I would look hard for a dongle for the XDA or XDA II, as either will work.

:-(
That's what I was afraid of. So there is no way I can use the phone for a week?

This guy

Said he is using h5500 to charge his phone. can anyone else confirm that? I also read that xdaII pinout changed. I am confused. I don't want to fry my phone but I do need my phone this week.
PS Is there any local dealer I can walk in and buy a chrager? I am in GA now
jaz

As I am, he is using the TRANSFORMER from his HP5500, but connecting it to the power dongle that came with his i-mate. As has been said - don't use the power dongle from an HP/Compaq.
Being anywhere in the US is problematic for buying any XDA II accessories. You might try a T-Mobile store or a CompUSA and see if any have the power dongle or cradle for an SX56/T-Mobile PocketPC Phone.

so plug for t-mobile pocketpc phone will work? here is a link
http://t-mobile.com/products/access...icename=T-Mobile Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition
Thanks

ok
I just want to make sure before i buy the car charger from T-mobile that it will not blow my motherboard. The car charger from t-mobile will charge my xda II phone?

Well . . . will it?
To the best of my knowledge it will. I own an i-mate and have never owned an XDA, but I remember reading that the charger will work.
I keep waiting for someone who has owned both an XDA and an XDA II to chime in and tell me I am either right or wrong - but so far nobody has uttered a peep!
Come on folks! Will an XDA power dongle/car charger/cradle charge the XDA II or not? Personal experience would be reassuring I'm sure.

got it working
I just wanted to let the community know that I went to the T-mobile store and picked up a car charger and everything is charged my phone. I have phone back.
thanks for all the help.

i've had both a xda1 and 2 and i still use the cradle and power charger from the xda1 on my xda2 so their power pin out are the same

Yes, if you re read my post I said I am using the power part of the iPAQ unit but connected to the XDA II dongle. I AM NOT USING AN IPAQ DONGLE
Ed

Rudegar - Thanks for the confirmation for me, for Jazlee . . . and for anyone who does a search in the future! Very helpful first-hand information.
Jazlee - I am glad you are back in business! I can't imagine being without my i-mate for a week - particularly while traveling. That's when you need it MOST! Congratulations.

Can I use my old XDA-USB Cradle for the new XDA2

Hello together,
because my old (1 Year old) XDA was stolen :evil: out of my car, i buyed the new XDA2 and i think about using my old XDA-USB-Cradle for my office.
Is this possible? :?:
Thanks,
Dietmar
Yes you can use all your old accessories of XDA with your XDA II
Khalid
Don't know if i'm right, because i didn't have any xda 2, but at the systems in munich a guy from O2 (or maybe T-Mobile) tht the cradle won't fit.
The Connector will be the same, but the xda won't fit into it...
HTH
Stefan
You can use it!
XDA o2 II easy fit into XDA I Cradle.
It will fit but it is very tight, pins will line up. I would not personally use it because it will scratch the hell out of the bottom of your XDA2
Yes it fits!
I've just shoved it a bit harder, and yes, it does fit (when I thought it didn't). I've actually go an xda II cradle, but I prefer the xda cradle as it has a back suppor thing. I'm a bit worried that the fitting could snap off with the xda II cradle as it has no support an could move backwards and forwards if knocked whilst charging.

did i get a good deal?

I just bought an XDA II off ebay for $292 plus 21.00 shipping with only a incar charger, did i get a good deal and will a XDA I cradle work with teh XDA II? :shock:
XDA2
Hey. I just got an XDA2 from ebay, too. How's your reception? Mine doesn't hardly ever get a signal with tmobile here in California. I paid $400 for mine, so sounds like you got a better deal than I did.
seattleboi1982,
i think you did get a good deal, just make sure the unit's functioning well and isn't a brick as to the cradle; not sure coz i never did get to try out the xda1's cradle with the xda2. BUT; i do have a sync-cable which i used for my xda1; when i sold the unit i kept the cable and am now using it for the xda2. it works well; plugging in syncs the unit and charges it as well. the only issue i could think of would be the size differences (????) if any.
cheers

Do you mean the USB lead to connect your PDA to ya computer? If so, there's loads available on eBay, can get the retractable type too, save the mess with the leads...
go and buy one for sony PSP. It's cheap (5€) and it works perfectly.
most digital cameras have a mini usb cable u can use it to charge from the pc .

I got one of those from Maplin for £5.99 and it comes with a handy round pin plug that charges my gps receiver as well
I have also got a battery extender that powers the XDA from 4 AA size batteries, but needs tweeking as it will discharge the XDA if connected for an extended period. I am guessing that a diode will solve the problem

That'll be Sony's newer Playstation Pocket, rather than normal Playstation console.
regular mini usb cable will do
hey, i wanted an additional sync/charge cable to keep at the office, so i bought a simple usb/mini usb cable for 3$ at a local pc store -works perfectly.
the pda specialist store at the same shopping center wanted 25$ for the same thing, essentialy - just called it a sync/charge cable for UNIVERSAL... bastard thieves.

Beware of aftermarket USB cables

I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.
I bought a couple of these usb sync/charge cable recently from the eBay and gad no problems with them. They came with proper boxes wraped up.
If yoy need the link, let me know and i will send it to you.
Thanks.

Galax Tab Sprint Cable
I have the oem cable and this aftermarket cable from ebay.
I've been using the cable from ebay since I got it.
The cable works fine and is longer.
Again I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab
Ebay Item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170602028827&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Just (arrived yesterday) got an after marked cable from ebay, just tried to use it and my Tab appears to shut down (black screen, no response from buttons etc).
Luckily I have my original cable with me but now that's doing the same (into a PC and mains).
Is this a massive coincidence of have I just goosed my beloved Galaxy Tab?
I bought a number of cheap retractable cables from ebay and they all work well for sync and charge.

so theres any diference between the samsung cable and a generic one or its just a problem picking up the one needed for the model u have?

I really hate that the OEM cables are so dang short. I'd love to find a couple of longer ones.
Sent from Galaxy Tab with XDA app
I use my OEM cable tho it is short, I use my USB cable extension from my logitech wireless mouse, It works just fine.
Of course when syncing I plug it direct to PC
I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.
Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.
The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.
Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".
So it is just a risk you might want to take.
Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay
Example: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-data-cable-for-samsung-p1000-1m-length-51931
Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:
http://s.dealextreme.com/search/p1000
When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.
AliExpress also has lot's of items:
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=charging+p1000&catId=0
Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.
Thans from another dutch guy who borght his stuff at mobilesupplies.nl for reasonable proces. Two charges a Docking station and a bluetooth keyboard in leather case.
