I just recently picked up a Targus Stowaway keyboard
(Model# PA 840)on ebay pretty cheap, I also picked up an adapter that converts ipaq 3600 series accesories for use with an XDA, I have the Siemens SX56 att version.
So I installed the software for it and the keyboard actually works great with the adapter plug, but I noticed that if I power off the XDA or if I leave it to power off by itself I can never turn it on again untill I do a soft reset , as soon as I uninstalled the software it works fine again.
Has anyone encountered this before????
I have been on their website and I have tried installing different versions of the software , but still it's allways the same problem??
Can anyone help me?
Under settings/connections make sure "beams" is unchecked, it might help.
thanks
it workes for me
Hi guys!
Just learned of this forum, it might be my last chance.
I bought the GlobalSat SD-501 GPS secure digital receiver in Hong Kong. It was a big gamble and it turned out to a headache.
After installing the thing you are supposed to be able to see which comport it has received using the nifty utility "GPSInfo" from GlobalSat.
It is supposed to identify itself as COMX: MANF-0501-CARDID or something similar.
... but after loading the program I see the following:
COM1: Serial
COM2: Serial_Cmd
COM3: IrCOMM
COM4: BTIBserial
COM5: BTOBserial
COM9: Serial_Data
That is, nothing that resembles anything what I want. I tried to force select one of the following ports but of course that didn't work. There are also 3 different drivers to test, the one supplied on the cd and two on the developers site, found here:
http://www.globalsat.com.tw/english/download.php?level_id=3
I have tried all three drivers with no effect. I have also tried soft resetting after install and even a hard reset to see if that would solve any issues.Along with the drivers there is also a program called COMKiller that disables comports (after surfing found out that most IPAQ's tie up all comports leaving nothing for the GPS), I tried this as well with no success.
The LED on the GPS is supposed to blink when it has your location fixed, the device actually does that after a while so it seems to have a working hardware anyway - it just won't talk to the phone.
From looking at other forums it seems as this device work for people running the S2020 (the Himalaya) so maybe there is hope.
In summary this is what I have tried:
1. Tried all three drivers available from maker.
2. Soft resetting.
3. Hard resetting.
4. Upgraded ROM to the version described below.
5. Disabled IR (incoming beam).
This is what I have:
Qtek S100
ROM: 1.06.00 WWE
ROM date 01/06/05
Radio version: 1.05.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.06.115 WWE
Model NO.: PM10A
Maybe there is something in the driver that is trying to access the S100 in the wrong way, maybe it is trying to force select a busy comport. I don't know. Please you kind devs and others, can you maybe take a look at this?
best regards
Kristian
I querried this forum about this about a month ago and had no luck.
I have an o2 mini. When i plug the sd501 into the mini The light doesnt come on. My friend has JAM. When I plug it into the jam the light comes on but still i have not been able to get it to work,
If you find a solution please post

Hi Kris,
did you already try on the forums you can find at www.pocketgps.co.uk ???
IMHO that is the best-gps-experts website; if nobody can help you there, you can put your receiver in the recycle bin
Sorry I cannot help you some more
Hi,
yes I have posted in that forum too - awaiting response. But I am sure this is solvable, it's not rocket science. Well, for me it might be but I know there are some seriously smart people here eager to give support
/Kris
being a bit a GPS expert myself as well as an S100 owner I have not found a solution so far to get this combo to work, which I guess is not that bad at the end of the day considering you lose the SD slot for storage unlike with say a Bluetooth GPS. I will certainly revisit when they send me the SD-502 with its 512mb RAM, small helix antenna and SIRFIII chipset for testing in a few weeks ;-)
GpsPassion -> Do you have some kind of relation with GlobalSat? If so, have you had any comments from them if they will try to make this combo to work or not?
I mean, I like the device and it would suit my needs quite well - and I bought mine so I must decide if I should sell it or if there might bew a solution sometime. Do you have any contacts?`
best regards

Hello Sd 501 "victims",
searching through the net I ended up at this thread. I also would like to run my sd-501 with my magigian. Is there really no solution to that problem?

hi
the drivers arent installed properly you should have on there manufactors card under the com ports. reinstall the drivers andf it will work are you using the disk that came with it as the drivers you down load dont seem to work.

Nice to see an old thread coming back to life. I for one never managed to get the 501 to work on an S100 and the 502 is following the same fate, looks like some SDIO issues at HTC...http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/news.asp?id=410
just signed up today and this is my first post! anyway i am having the same problem. i have been trying to get the globalsat sd-502 to talk to my Qtek s110 without any joy depsite expansys saying it is compatible.
i have tried the drivers supplied and those on the globalsat website. it cannot see any com ports other than those mentioned earlier in this thread.
i do know from a local guy who tried to help me out that he managed to get it working with his xdaii which was not comaptible but he failed to help me out on with the qtek. i think this is one that globalsat will need to look at.
its a shame because it locks on to satellites just as quick as my globalsat bt-338 but wont suck the battery dry as quickly the bluetooth does. i will be interested to here if someone comes up with a solution.

Sorry to hear about your problems - but, what software are you trying? A good freebie is VisualGPS CE, and does work with the SD-501 (i use said GPS reciever with my Blue Angel).
But unfortunatly, I think this problem is purely a HTC problem, not global sat. Remember, they made thier device compatible to the BSquare SDIO Now protocalls - if HTC decides not to follow that , then it is not GS's fault (though, it is odd that they would support the SDIO on devices like the II, IIs, III, but not on other devices..)
Divine im using tom tom 5 but as far as gps programs ive used both gpsinfo and winfast as someone on the pocketgps site suggested. yeh it probably is something that htc need to look at.
thanks to a bit of browsing on here ive downloaded a trial verison of phone alarm which allows me to use a single press of tghe tom tom icon to activate the bluetooth and tom tom in one go. exiting tom tom switches the bluetooth off and the phone so i can power the device down. this will keep me happy till someone comes up with a solution.i am going to return the sd-502 to expansys and ask them to remove the qteks110 compatiblity reference on their site
I'm planning to get a bluetooth keyboard for my Kaiser.. will any of the bluetooth keyboards work? or would I have to get one that is specifically for PDAs..
Sorry for such a bump, but I didn't think this required a new thread.
I am also wondering if it is possible to use a Bluetooth keyboard with the Kaiser.

A friend of mine works for a UK company who are trying these out:
http://www.just-mobileonline.com/products_communicationseries_2.html
She sent me one recently and it seems to work OK with my MDA Vario III
I've been using the Freedom Input Universal keyboard with my Tytn II. It supports the BT HID profile, so no drivers are needed.
My ThinkOutside (now iGO) BT keyboard works perfectly with my Tilt.

Anyone used the BT laser virtual keyboards?

Hi,
I'm a newbie and would like some help pleeease!
I have a jasjam that is running wm6. I bought an iGo Think Outside portable bluetooth keyboard and mouse. They do not support Jasjams... but someone had downloaded the Jasjar driver and installed it and everything worked fine (http://www.mrgadget.com.au/2007/05/imate-jasjamdopod-838-pro-stowaway.html). The only thing is that his jasjam was probably on wm5 judging by the date I went ahead and bought the keyboard and mouse thinking I could download the jasjar driver and be able to use them but I can't get them to work (it only gets up to step 5 in the manual)
Just wondering if anyone knows how I can get my keyboard to work on wm6? I wrote to customer support and they can't help because the keyboard is now discontinued and they won't be releasing any new drivers for wm6
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from anyone
I searched the forum and found a couple posts about using the Think Outside Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard with the HD, and they seem to have driver problems.
Has anybody successfully used this keyboard with the Touch HD? Or any other bluetooth portable keyboard? If so, what driver did you use? The only place I can find drivers for it is on the iGo website (who no longer sell their branded version of it) and they do list drivers for HTC, but not the Blackstone.
Thanks.
Works fine for me with iGO's last WM5 driver, but driver must be installed in main memory!
Thanks for the quick response. I'm tempted to try one of these.
working great from time that HD got launched.
as always, install drivers to main memory and its no prob.
Same here: Works perfectly!
Same here! Been using the same Stowaway keyboard since 2004 - Imate PDA2K to a IPaq HX2490 to TytnII & now my HD - works great! If you can't get the drivers let me know & I'll send you a copy of mine.

Yeah - I did post about what driver to use on a thread about this a while back, but then I lost the thread completely! But I then just tried the generic 'WM5' drivers and - yes, it does work - BUT what doesn't work are the 'options' - so I cant turn off that f...ing stupid and annoyingly loud 'key-click' on it - which basically renders it completely useless for me all over again.
Brilliant driver support once again.....
Although, in fairness, IIRC it's been a discon. product for some time??
Mine works fine as well. Cab file name that I use is Think Outside PPC5 En.CAB.
