Hello folks, im another HTC Touch pro fan so i join this most useful forum on the internet!
i plan to buy the phone, but i have some question before make the purchase.
-Does the phone Support 32GB microSD and larger? could firmware update extends the support for future larger capacities e.g. 64GB etc ? or this is hadrware based?
- I travel alot from one place to another(1 hour trip by train) is it possible to set up the phoneas so it could act as a router, so i could access internet from my notebook? (i have an unlimited HSDPA internet connection from my provider). This is very important due my job.
- how does pdf perform on this phone? am i able to copy text from the pdf file?
- When output the video, does it output the video at native resolution(VGA) or its possible to go higher, WVGA for example? this a big plus for a quick presentation at my work.
- It is able to output video to my TFT monitor using special converter for example.
- And about the googlemaps, when using the GPS, it is able to view in satelite images mode (very similar to Google earth)
i would really appreciate if you folks could answer my questions.
cheers RNK,
- Supports microSDHC. Currently only 8gb cards are widely available, although 12gb and 16gb cards have been announced (but are probably hard to find). Hot-swappable, if that helps.
- Yes you can tether.
- Acrobat Reader LT (included) only displays PDFs. You can install Acrobat Reader 2.0 PPC (free), which will let you select/copy text.
- Google maps supports satellite view, as well as traffic overlay.
- Info about video-out and the cable here:

the HTC video out cable uses composite video output and standard audio left and right (red white and yellow coax cables). It would be interesting to see if the video output can be in RGB form from the ext_usb port on the raphael also.
i believe its capable of 32GB, possible more with a driveupdate, i only say that because my XDA Orbit was originally designed for upto 2GB SD cards, with windows 6.1 im now using an 8GB, in theroy it can support 32 as well but i dont think anyone has one to try.
thanks for replies folks,
one last question, is able to accept usb memory storage with one of this?

No, if you're on CDMA network. There is only GSM version w/o USA UMTS/HSDPA bands are on sale now.

AFAIK (from Hermes and Kaiser) the answer is no.
hi Ronka
you still can sync and explore your memory with that thing

We are told that there are ROM routines in the xda 2 to use the camera as a barcode reader.
This implies that you point the camera at a label and it will output an ASCII string as a normal code reader would.
Is this someones dream?
If its true, its a fantastic plus but can anyone confirm and point to some data on this.
:?:
I too would be interested in this information but I don't see it being tue as I don't see that functionality being useful to most users of the device.
I know from looking around that there are apps that can recognise barcodes from images and I am sure that some and I am sure that somewhere there is one that runs on Pocket PC.

Told by whom :?:
if you go to the www.myxda.com website you'll read in the demo, that yeah, you can convert your xda2 to a bar code reader, how?. simple, via the CF backpack, and then use a CF bar code reader. with the CF backback, you'll be able to convert your XDA2 in anything that uses CF or SD!
Think about it:
Radio FM
Bar code scanner
Gigabytes of Microdrives
etc

Greetings All,
Has anyone got photos of CF backpacks for XDAII ?????
do a search in ppcthoughts, they were posted there from the FCC records

Is this what it might look like on the XDA2 :shock:
http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/whitney-ipaq-sleeve-modifications-review.html
Hmmm... surely it wouldn't be too hard take a grabbed photo, and cut lines say at 5 degree increments around it looking for conformant barcodes.
Or is this patented already?

the cool thing, is that you get the 2 add-ons in the backpack (VGA & CF), the bad, It will problably be expensive.

for more pictures go to:
FCC document
by the looks of the pics, I'm sure it will be no more bulky than the XDA 1 with the extended battery, problably George Mosquera could slim it down bit to make it even slimmer.
hmmm....this just got me thinking.....Imagine playing Warfare Inc. and Snailz or Worms on a BIG SCREEN TV!!!!!
w00t!!!! :twisted:
visit http://www.aipsys.com and download the barcode decoding SDKs to develop you scanner applications.
Since my wee JAM is dead (£85 to fix) I'm getting an XDA Exec to replace it - the 640x480 screen with WiFi and 3G appeals to me, since I no longer have a portable PC for my WiFi connection downstairs, and I wanna browse in bed!
Can someone post screens on the actual things browsing? Thanks!

Holy... Effing.. Jesus.

EDIT: The Windows site is really terrible when it comes to promoting what their SW can do.... those few screens are fantastic...
Do us a favour, could yo also try http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=belfast&spn=0.005190,0.016145&hl=en as well, and what are you using to grab the screens as a matter of interest vijay?
I use Visual Studio 2005, which comes with a program called Remote Zoomin.
If you don't want to install this, use this:

Hey vijay555,
What software is used to generate the "desktop" line screen view, rather than the "today" screen?
Also, what did you use to set VGA (I know of the VGA install available here - which I've tried)
However what did you do to display your dialer pad without the buttons being cropped?
And for anyone else, anyone yet know of a fix that allows us to toggle between VGA and QVGA depending on application?
Regards
Michael
Michael: the top two pictures are from a Universal running the VGA hack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32217&highlight=
Not that it's important I think, but i'm using VJNina font modfied from from the SPV phone; I've also minimised my scrollbars down.
The second two are using Terminal Services to log onto an XP Media Center PC. I'm using my VJFullscreenTSC app to make it entirely fullscreen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33759&highlight=
So the "desktop" start bar is coming from XP Media Center, on the PDA
I don't get your question about the Dialer buttons.
If you mean this in VGA:
this is using my VJBigPhone app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33971&highlight=
All are detailed ony my website www.vijay555.com
Another hack I'm working on is to minimise the soft buttons (the blue menu buttons at the bottom) down to a smaller size, relocate the Today tray and ultimately remove the Start Bar:

PS I don't think there's a dynamic VGA QVGA switcher yet
Vijay, great work by the way...
After much consideration, the only application I want in VGA on my Qtek 9000 is Internet Explorer Mobile. Is there any way to just make that program run in high-resolution? Everything else could be QVGA as far as I'm concerned.
I just don't like the idea of installing a ton of hacks and having to soft-reset between needs.
I swear I am starting to dribble
How about a screen shot of video playing too???
Regards
thank for this help. it is useful for me in my project

Here it´s mine with my beloved Opera
Chhers,
Hi All
I wonder if any of you geniuses can help me with this query
I am using an HTC Touch Diamond with a NON DATA Enabled sim card, this is my personal sim card and account. I also have a Blackberry Pearl 8120 (I hope that isnt a swear word in these forums), anyway this is my work phone and I have an unlimited email & Internet DATA package on this sim card.
I want to know if I can SOMEHOW connect my Touch Diamond to the internet through the Blackberry using bluetooth? I am certain this must be possible, anyone got any ideas.
Also on a slightly different thread, My Touch diamond is all in French as I am currently living in Morocco but I would love to change the windows system language to English, is there a way to do this in settings on the device or do I need to flash the device with an ENGLISH ROM?? Tips on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Check and see if blackberry has an application like wm wifi router (windows mobile).
I have an ATT Tilt with unlimited data. I use the tilt, with WM Wifi Router as a wireless access point. I then connect all kinds of stuff to it, like my ipod touch, my laptop, other wifi phones.
It might be hard finding an application like this for Blackberrys.
if it were me, i would take the sim card out of the blackberry and put it in the diamond.. problem solved.
however if that solution does not work for you then the above advice is the best you'll get
How about ditch the blackberry and get a dual sim card holder and cut up your sim cards and put both in the holder then put it in your diamond problem solved and use the diamond for work and personal. So kill 2 birds with 1 stone. You can carry 1 phone around, but have the best of both worlds.

I think dual sim is what he meant.

I think he just meant: just swapping the sims, then he could just use the data plan on the diamond

Hi!
I am trying find info on how to connect a standard USB-to-serial adapter to a Athena (7500 and 7510). I was thinking of using the VGA-out, connecting the adapter to the USB-port on the adapter that is connected to the VGA-out. Right now, I have a FT232 R USB UART connected to that port and my Athena asks me to enter the devicename, but of course it cant find the devicedriver for this adapter.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to successfully get a serialport from any of the available outgoing ports on the Athena? USB-port or VGA, doesnt matter at the moment.
Also, I tried installing Zenos driver package (Zeno USB Host Drivers v6.0a), but no luck there.
Any advices, tips or ideas are welcome

Edit

Found and installed drivers (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm), it seems to be working. Will test this further.

If anyone knows any software for sniffing on COM-ports, please let me know.
Solved!
Ok, its now working. The device opens up on COM10.
Have taken shots of the connections made (hardware) and a screenshot from the application used on the Athena. This has been tested on both 7500 and 7510 and its working perfectly. The application used is from the makers of the chip in the adapter, FTDI, and on my computer I used hyperterminal.

Interesting. Are you just using the serial connection for file transfers, or some other reason?
I downloaded some Youtube videos/songs for my son and he plugged his PSP into the USB connector and I couldn't believe it when my x7500 showed a new Hard Drive on TotalCommander.
This 4-in-1 adapter cable is awesome, as I can use my Athena as a regular computer and watch qood quality YouTube and other movies through my 26" HD TV or connect music through my surround system. If you're considering this cable, it will not disappoint you!

We sell these devices with our software pre-installed, our customers are fire- and rescueservices, ambulance and police and the idea is to connect other "radiounits" to the HTC for communication with specific coordination-centrals (f. ex. in sweden thats SOS Alarm). Sorry but I cant really translate it any better than that
We have a few other things in mind as well, too early to write about them here though, and most likely its nothing that will be of any interest for the general public.
Fully understand what you are trying to say, sounds like a cool extension of functionality for the Advantage. Keep us posted as your "other things" come to light.
Will do. This fantastic community has provided me with so much info and I will contribute as much as I can.
My next project is a registrysniffer, realtime. Have just begun but it looks promising.
Good morning, I was not able to install the cable can you help me?
thanks
Sure I can help, would need a but more info though. You cant connect the multi-purposecable to your device? You cant connect the usb-2-rs232cable? Your driver wont load?

The hero does not support internet sharing. netiher does the magic or the G1.
Are you thinking of Windows mobile devices??
what is this option for?
settings--wireless controls -- mobile network sharing (at the bottom)
To enable mobile network sharing, please plug in the cable?

You just need to download and install the HTC Sync from this page:
http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/downloads/htcsync.html
the last 2 lines of the install instructions states:
(During the installation, a modem driver software for your phone will also be installed. It allows you to share your phone’s Internet connection to your computer when you do not have Internet access on your computer.)
this file is also on the sd card!
Well bugger me backwards, I stand corrected!
Has anyone actually got it to work though?

just tried it and it actually seems to work!
Once htc sync was installed from http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/index.html it installed the network adapter and all seemed well apart from no traffic.
disabled sharing and started it again and all started going flawlessly.
maybe a little slow, but enough in a pinch.
Does anyone know if this will flag up on the operators system as tethering?
With 3gb allowance per month I can't use that all on mobile browsing!
It depends on the network.
I currently am using it on a three mobile sim with the 5 pounds a month 'unlimited' mobile browsing add on.
works fine and i have been using that sim in a USB modem for the last three months, so even if they can, it depends on whether the network actually cares or not!
I know that my t-mobile sim with W&W+ allows me to do it no problems as well, although i don't think you're allowed to on the standard w&w plans. Don't know about their new 'unlimited' flext plans.
