universal car charger

hey guys. could anyone tell me if there is a specific config of car chargers for the universal? i am planning to buy one from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Universal-USB...itemZ5815991160QQcategoryZ48674QQcmdZViewItem
it seems to be a universal pda charger plz let me kno if it is fine. also i ll be using it in India. any idea if it ll work there properly ( i am not sure of the earthing method used there). i wud really appreciate it if u cud answer asap.
cheers
I bought one like this (not the same brand but the same idea) and it works fine - I think most newish cars have a standard cigar lighter socket so as long as your car isn't old or from a strange local manufacturer - I imaging that you'll be OK...
I to got one of these from the bay
again different brand but does work a treat the and even charges my motorola headset at the same time to.
The description "universal" is often used to refer to something that connects to a range of devices and models, and does not necessarily refer to the HTC device named the "Universal".
by universal i meant that it seems to work for all usb chargable devices ( as according to the seller). the issue is that most of the pda s in the market hav different power ratings.
I use one as it, work perfectly with your minUSB cable

Super short USB hotsync cable

Hi,
Anyone has that?
A very short USB hotsync cable
I tried to search several online stores and they only have the long (normal) one.
It would be nice to have that short cable and put it in the jacket pocket
Please if you know where to buy that, let me know.
PS: Preferebly in the Netherlands (UK or Germany is ok)
Thanks.
Why not the retractable ones that BoxWave (for instance) have?
//Nik
Hmmm, I did not know that. Thanks for the info, I will look it up.
RadioShack in the US sells the retractable ones too. Just make sure its USB 2.0.
Duh, I cant find any store in .NL that sells this
Anyone know from .DE or .UK ?
Hmm 4 pins or 5 pins ?
This is 4 pins:

Go to Correct Business Centre. At least the one in Rotterdam has the Targus ones. IT's shop near Schiedam CS also has the pc accesory pack containing one of these.
I bought myself one of this:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/Externe-HDD-160G...goryZ168QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and got a 15-20cm hotsync usb20 cable..
But if you don't need a external hdd, it's quite expensive usb cable..
Happy hunting.
got a 6" cable with my plantronix discovery bluetooth if you happen to need to buy yourself a new bluetooth also
I got around it by getting a short usb extension ( mine was for a bluetooth adapter) and then adding a 3 euro usb to 5pin.
works for me.

Repair / Replacement help

I have an xda exec, which i have had for over a year now and i have been very happy with it... until a couple of weeks ago the mini usb port detached itself from the mainboard :-( Ive read about it happening before on here... but i have no warranty now so im looking for anyone who can help. The mini USB port is also now damaged. I looked at re-soldering it back on but im not good enough to do that... I guess ideally im after another universal with a broken screen or something so as i can make one good one from 2 bad... and then save up a little more towards an athena...
Pocketpctechs will repaire it for $60(including parts &larbor)
Check out the links bellow
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~sessid~560175586~unit~O2_XDA_Exec-500~area~repairs.htm
Thanks for the link - really useful... im contacting them to see if they can supply a replacement mainboard to the UK as that is where im based, if not i can look at posting it over i guess... Many Thanks - Dave
i brought a stand alone charger that you pop your battery in! pain in the ass but if you have two batterys its all good then use bluetooth to sync and install your apps and files im in the UK too
Yeah, thats exactly what i have done in the short term... but after upgrading my old XDA IIs yesterday to Windows Mobile 6 i fancy seeing what sort of improvements are available for my Universal.
On a side question can you sync over wifi?
you used to be able to but there was security concerns so they removed it from activesync if you have an old copy of active syncc then yes...

Where to find right replacement Mini-B Usb?

Hi,
My mini-B usb female connector (for charging and usb connectivity etc) is broken...
I need to find a replacement,
but I don't know what model it's exactly..
I don't what to end up ordering something I can't use :]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
What is the Make/Model of your phone. Either you can send it to the original manufacturer/vendor if still under warranty or you can order from ebay.First know the maker and model No # of your phone like T-mobile,cingular,i-mate or At&tt etc and model like T-mobile MDA,vario, etc etc,ok
Cheers !
I have mine from www.techcenter.fr
It's an HTC Wizard, Wiza200. (Qtek in fact)
Looking for a replacement USB port for your Apache or Wizard?
Go to:

You're looking for "D" in the pic's (Mouser Stock No. 538-67503-1020)
I have purchased them, they fit perfectly!
Good luck
bioChaz-
My USB connector is broken as well. Have you replaced one yourself? I want to know how hard it would be to do, because I'm thinking of ordering the part and attempting it.
what about ppc techs. they repair and sell that part.
I've done it a bunch of times...it definitely takes a few trys before u get it right...if ur familiar w/ soldering then it should be fairly easy, but if not...it might be worth paying some one to do it for u...if the pads are ripped from the motherboard then they have to be retraced...that is even harder...then it is worth paying to have it fixed for sure...otherwise, there is always the upgrade
upgrade? i wish. bought mine off the streets. thanks

I knew I'd be able to get this part from DigiKey/Mouser, but I was just never sure which was the right one so I never bothered.
Thanks!

Help, the mini usb port (plug) in my tilt has broken, and I cannot connect the phone to my pc. I am living in Venezuela where this phone is not in the market, and I cannot find the spare part. Who can tell me where can I buy one?
