hello,everybody:
I bought a plannex ue-200tx-g usb-10/100baset adapter,
link:http://www.planex.co.jp/company/release/20071214_ue-200txgp.shtml
and
http://www.planex.co.jp/product/game/ue-200tx-g/
(I bought this)
and finally, I can use a net cable to surf the web !!!! Wonderful.
There are two ways I had tried to connect the adapter with athena.
1. Use a 4-in-1 cable. I connect the net cable with athena through a 4-in-1 cable, and it works.
2. Use a dock station. Of course, it works too.
There are two type of adapters on the plannex webpage, one is ue-200tx-g(I bought this), the other is ue-200txgp. There is no difference between these two adapters. The ue-200txgp is comprised one ue-200tx-g adapter, one Y-usb cable and one ac-adapter.
So if you want to buy the usb-10/100baset adapter, i advice you just buy a ue-200tx-g, because without the Y-usb cable and the ac-adapter, athena can surf net well. But in advance, you should have a 4-in-1 cable or a dock station.
BTW, you should install a driver first. Here is the link : http://www.planex.co.jp/support/download/usb/ue-200tx-g.shtml
if you have other type of usb-10/100baset adapter (for Palmchen, you may try this), try this driver.
Use a net cable to surf net on athena is faster than other ways(3g,wi-fi,activsync..).

hello,every:
Does any know that usb-rj45 cable?? One end is usb, the other is rj-45. it has the function like a network card.
does anybody use such a cable on athena to see if it works??
if it works, we can use athena to surf the web by network cable.
the following link is one kind of such cables:

The link is to some Japan or so page. I have a small difficulty to read it, but anyway, it is probably impossible, because each of such USB device would need a driver to be installed in our WM6 device. I am sure, the device has a driver but for standard PC (Windows or Linuks or whatever), but they probably did not provide drivers for Windows Mobile 6, so no joy.
if you found the chinese web page hard to read, plz refer the following ebay webpage:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-TO-LAN-RJ45...kparms=72:552|39:1|65:12&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
it is the same thing as on the chinese webpage.
I initially had the same thought - the lack of a driver would be a problem. Looking at the English site, I'm sure of it now:
"Plug and play installation in Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP"
But not WM.

I bought it and tried to use it at my ameo.
after connetion on USB the Ameo found a new device, but no device-driver could I offer.
nothing was accepted.
If a devicedriver available, I could make the next test...
Does anyone know the pda "sharp em one", here is the link:
http://bbs.pdafans.com/viewthread.php?tid=572285&extra=page=1&area=&page=7
I noticed that the "em one" can use a usb-10base/100base-T adapter to surf the web. Here is the link of the two types of the adapter:
http://www.planex.co.jp/company/release/20071214_ue-200txgp.shtml3
http://buffalo.jp/products/catalog/item/l/lua-ktx/index.html
The two adapters use realtek RTL-8150 chip.
It's not easy for me to buy such adapters.
If someone would like to test if the athena could use usb-10base-T adapter to surf the web, plz consider what I give above. Maybe these kinds of adapter could be used on athena.
If anybody has any trouble with this way of surfing web, plz post ur question on the thread.
Glad to see there is a solution that works. Ironically, I could have used this last week. I was at a resort which did not have wifi (?!), only ethernet in each room. So I was out of luck...

yes - I have a question:
I've bought a USB-LAN adapter like a DM9601. ( DaviCom-DM9601 )
I've found driver for WINCE 30
http://www.driverskit.com/freedownload/Net_Card/Davicom/DM9601_Network_1_90_02_0312_WHQL/17594.html
works fine on my desktop / Notebook with WindowsXP (and WindowsXP driver).
But If I try to install it on my Ameo, connect over USB cable, the Ameo pop up with the question : where are the driver.
I've told him the location, the name, anything else, but the Ameo couldn't catch the driver and didn't use the USB-LAN Adapter.
I don't know what's not in the right way. Could you help ?

Besides UE-200tx-g, I don't know whether other USB-LAN adapter can be used on athena.
I have a question, had you installed the driver I provide above?? Link:
http://www.planex.co.jp/support/download/usb/ue-200tx-g.shtml
(In the window mobile section,click download, then click the [同意] button, and it will download automatically, filename:UE-200tx-g_v1003.zip).
This driver is for UE-200tx-g, I don't know if the driver only support for specific adapter or can be used on all kinds of USB-LAN adapter. Because I don't have other kind of adapter, I can't try. But you can try this driver with your DM9601. If the driver doesn't work for your DM9601, maybe you should buy a UE-200tx-g.

okay - I've tried.
download the cab file - I can't speak/read japan ;-) - with your instructions, very good.
Installed cab file on Ameo and tried to use it; connect the USB Network on Ameo.
Ameo installation windows popped up and ask for a device driver (cab file is not compatible with DM9601).
okay, if not compatible, I have the installation files of the UE-200tx-g adapter.
Now I'm trying to buy an adapter (I'm from germany).
Found it in Amazon.com and try to order one. But Amazon told me, he want deliver it only in USA or Kanada, not to germany.
Now I'm searching over google about an UE-200tx-g adapter. Found many adapter in jp/tw7 and so on - but that's I couldn't read.
What a pity - I have a USB-Lan Adapter, not working on PDA and ready device-driver and couldn't buy it over web ...
could anybody help me ?

I will get a couple of inform about your recommendation's of the japan-auction-agency (good is to handle all payments over paypal). Later than I will test than with an order ...
I will hope I make nothing wrong ...
good question : why are so many interesting electronic things are first in Japan/China/Taiwan, and why so difficult to get them... really bad ...

Thanks to pigeonking's direction of using rj45 network adapter on x7500. His suggestion have been tried out on my machine. I bought two eu-200tx-g adapter this week, one was bought on 3C shopping center, the other one was bought on PCI-Direct website, that is 628 NT dollars. So I still have one brand new eu-200tx-g adapter, do you want it?
If you want, we can discuss the price and way to deliver. I live in Taiwan.

would be nice ..
could we go over paypal ? add the adapter, shipping costs and your own costs together and send me your email address with the price. I will send you my address and the money over paypal. okay ?
waiting for a Private Message ...
???
Anyway, what's the point in ppc internet wire connection ? If you can download the drivers on your main PC, use it !!! anyway I'll be very happy to get a cable connection with my athena, just to say I can...
Im from Australia, would love to buy one of em....but were so close to asia and no one wants to ship
And has anyone found that it works?, or are they still trying stuff out? So what speeds do you get? 100mbps or 1gbps?
Dear Vico100,
I can help you to buy UE-200tx-g network adapter in Taiwan.
If you need it, we can deal through paypal. Just send me private message
if you need my help. And I will send you the total price through paypal.com.
maybe it is just me, but, why use a RJ45 to USB adapter to browse the net, when you already have Wi Fi and 3G , and Bluetooth for the internet?
even in a high secured office with no Wi Fi, you can still do 3G
and if you are in a secured office, chances are you wont be able to get onto the network anyways using the RJ45
the only way this will work is in an unsecured network, for you to sign on, and not get access denied to the router/switch
and probably too cheap to not want to use the 3G / Edge to go online.
i wouldn't want to carry so much extra stuff with me to be able to go online using a RJ45 when i go out with my phone
hi is it possible to connect a printer to the hero so i could print boarding passes form online book in
mifran
I'm gunna go with no. No you can't... yet
i'd go for the answer no as well.
Certainly no by Bluetooth, as it doesn;t have the bluetooth printing profile.
It's not possible at the moment, but someone(s) could bring CUPS to Android to allow for network printing over the WiFi network. Of course, your printer would have to be shared on your LAN for this to work, plus I have no idea what sort of effort would be involved in bringing CUPS support over to a mobile phone.
I'd sure be interested in seeing this happen though. It'd be pretty cool to print off an email from your phone. My old Dell Axim had an IR port, which I could actually use to print at work, as our HP LaserJet had IR as well. I thought that was the bee's knees back then.
EDIT: To more accurately address the original post: You will never actually be able to connect a printer to the Hero with a USB cable. This is due to the fact that both a printer and the Hero are USB "peripherals." A USB connection needs a USB "host" at one end of the cable. If you could somehow find a USB cable that would plug into the Hero and a printer, both devices would be waiting for a computer to do something at the other end of the cable.
ok thank you gents
yet another bluetooth failing of the htc setup even my motorola v3 could send files over bluetooth

s'ok.
we're just stuck in the same situation the iphone was for 2 years! But note that it is GOOGLE that left this out of the OS, not HTC. Yes it's annoying, but at least lay the blame firmly where it is due. HTC may screw things up, but let's not let them take all the credit!
but hey, when this 2.1 update comes out, that should hopefully fix it.

yes i bought it second hand for £30 and modded it with firmware from modmymoto while it was being replaced with the v3i and it has served me well i should have done a bit more research because i mainly went with the hero because of its wifi internet which is ok but i needed to be able to logon to airlines for flight info and boarding passes.
mifran
I know this doesn't really answer the question, but about a half dozen or so airlines here in the US have started using paperless boarding passes. I've checked in for flights a number of times from my phone without having to print the boarding pass. They just scan the barcode off the phone's screen. Is that an option for you?

I was curious if any on here have used this app? I love the developer (have his SpeedHUD app)..... If anyone can does use it, I would love your opinion. I am hesitant to spend much on a bluetooth OBD tool. I think the one he recommends is around $100.
here is a link to his site for those interested: Torque
Here is a description (from his site linked above) also:
Torque is an engine diagnostics application for Android that allows you to directly monitor your car engine control unit (ECU) and retrieve various information from the sensors connected to it as well as use your phones internal GPS and accelerometer sensors to graph other information such as acceleration
Torque can be used to view any stored fault codes on your vehicles ECU, then, after a mechanic fixing the fault, it also can clear the fault codes allowing you to clear the ‘Check Engine’ light warning on your dashboard
Torque can use a multitude of OBD adapters, ranging from the cheap (and slightly buggy) adapters you can find on ebay, to the more reliable PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth and OBDKey which are the amongst the best.
That's pretty damn cool... I'm not a car enthusiast, but even so I kind of want to get one of those BT adapters and try it out
^ yeah, same boat. I have a bad gas cap so my check engine light is CONSTANTLY on. Now I just ignore it because "I KNOW" that's the cause... heaven forbid something else be wrong with my car and I've just ignored it. Would be especially nice since this app also lets you CLEAR THE CODE (no more check engine light).
Really need to find a good/cheap BT adapter that will work with this app!!!
I'm interested in this too. The only thing I wonder about is the Bluetooth connection. There was a thread somewhere about wii remotes not working with some app on the market and the explanation was the Bluetooth version we have (3.0) would require considerable changes to make it work. I don't want to fork out the cash only to find out they are not compatible. I read that thread weeks ago, so I don't remember the particulars. Hopefully, someone will chime in that has already tried it.
Hmm. I've had no issues connecting with a few bluetooth devices... Never really had that concern, hope there are no issues. Wonder if you could return an item for that...
I was going to ask in his forum if anyone has tried it on a Galaxy S of any sort, but I never got the password e-mail. I'll try again later. Here's the thread that is making me balk. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought.
Bluetooth 3.0 Compatible Controllers for Gaming?
I just got the cheapest BT ODB2 dongle from eBay (<$30), and it works fine on my 2010 Silverado HD. The throttle position sensor didn't seem to work right (my foot does just as well ), but the boost sensor seems like it may have...? I only drove around the block - we'll see when I'm getting on the freeway tomorrow. Being a new truck, there are no SES lights for me to check. Also, my truck has BT for the stereo, and there didn't seem to be any issues being connected to both.
In short, it works just fine for what it seems to be for (simple guages & such).

A new $10 gas cap and a $25 AutoZone code reader would probably be cheaper and easier.
The gas caps for my car go bad every few months, it's just a design flaw I think. With all of the additional features the app offers + the cool factor, I think its worth it. May give one of the cheaper cables a try.
down8, got a link for the cable you got man?
Awesome + Finally!
I've been waiting for one of these to come out for some time. I have had a BT adapter in my car, as I used it with my Nokia N810 (using a software called CARMAN). It has some +/-'s, but this new software (Torque) is simply amazing.
Ended up using the free version, but purchased as soon as I got home. Will do some more testing and report soon.
I think it is pretty cool app, even though I can scan the codes for free at an AutoZone, but if you mod your car the app will come handy when you need to setup your CAI to by-pass ECU, etc.
I've been playing around with this app using a $30 Chinese bt dongle from ebay. It works great, you don't need the $100 one unless you plan to use it for pro level diagnostics (which some people do). It's got a ton of cool functions, the least of which is being able to read and reset fault codes. But I use for that too. It may not be able to read all the OBD output from your car, for example, it won't list the turbo boost for my Volvo, but that is vehicle dependent. Check out the forums on the dev's site; lots of good info there. Btw, I'm using the paid version.

^ I think I know which one you are referencing, but I've seen variations. Could you post a link to the one you snagged... I have a saab so perhaps I will have similar success. Thanks for letting me know that.
Wow the developer needs to get on board with CobbTuning for the import enthusiast guys. This tool would be awesome to flash tuned performance maps. My accessport cost me $600+. Pretty awesome. Shame you couldn't just use the sensor to the micro USB.

Sorry for the delay. Here's a link to the one I purchased. OBDII Scanner - seller autodoctor007. It shipped pretty fast from China.
wow, this is a great idea. i have not tried it yet, as i dont have an obdII to BT, but this looks awesome.
On a side note, as i dont have the obdII/BT connection yet, I do have an OBDII to USB cable. Can this or another app use that? I guess I would have to get a USB to microUSB adaptor to plug into phone.... how about any computer programs that will use the ODB to USB adaptor to monitor car data/engine lights?

The cheap chinese OBD II don't work with all vehicles so be wary about buying one of the these. I bought one for $25 on ebay and they don't connect with Ford's interface, however it did connect to my Dodge truck.

Hi,
Im thinking of using my S2 as a media streamer now I have the S3. Initial tests have been mixed, with the best performance coming from BubbleUPnP and MX Player, Does anyone have any hints and tips that might improve things. Also is there a good, Android to Android remote app? As would be nice to be able to control it remotely.
Any hints or tips would be great.
Thanks.
Sell it and get a proper dedicated device.
Lol, the idea is to keep it as a backup. I'm trying to make the most of it and not just hide it in cupboard.

Well, you're asking how to best pound a square peg into a round hole... but anyways; if you want it to perform its best as a "media streamer", I'd say factory reset/full wipe it, debloat it as much as you can, only install the bare minimum of what you want on it.
As far as remote controlling: http://www.google.com/search?q=control+another+android+device
Thanks for the advice. I know Ill probably end up copying large mkv files rather than streaming them. The mhl cable wont work with the S3 and rather than bin them Im hoping my square peg can fit a hole like this.

You link solves my main problem, I kept finding Remote desktop software when I looked. Not Android to Android. If nothing else makes an interesting project.

Why won't the mhl cable work with the s3? Isn't the s3 an mhl device?
Edit: ah, I see the s3 has its own special mhl adapter that isn't compatible with other mhl devices. Bravo, Samsung. WTF.

You're obviously new to this so I'd like to ask you not to do it. Flashing ROM or whatever you want to flash doesn't necessarily make your device better, also if you make a mistake - Usually that ends in bricking the device - then no one is responsible but you, and you'll have very hard time fixing the device.
Don't waste time and good working device for whatever reason you want to do this.
If you're still persistent on flashing your device may I know why you want to do it?

Yes I am newbie to these android boxes or tv boxes.
I purchased this box from local store 2 yrs ago. Not all channels stopped working. The box itself works (can't do much).
I wanted to delete whatever software they have installed and install basic Android, where I can install my own apps. Mostly iPTV smarter app.
that box right now is useless to me.
Is Linux box same as andriod? (sorry this could be a different question)
I believe they installed linux on Andriod box. Based on this, my menu looks just like this

What's your device model? There may be different ways to do it.
No, linux is obviously different from android box. Can't say which is better, but generally speaking I'd prefer android.

Thanks for helping
I really don't know the exact model. I spent weeks googling and youtube based of the manufacture label. Its says HD-5301B+. The closest I got to was the safe mode menu here

I came across HD100C box as well.
It's device specific so if you can't find the device model then I can't do much.
As for flashing you can only apply update which obviously doesn't do what you want, but you can try factory resetting. Some bloatware can be removed by factory resetting. Here is how.
Alternatively you can use SD card to apply update from it - Should you find the firmware - by following this guide.

I've been working with him on another site about this and have told him pretty much the same thing you have. This is his Device model HD-5301B IPMacro this is all I could find on it
CPU: RT6856 MediaTek SoC 700Mhz MIPS
OS: Androdi INNOXPLAY
It most certainly does not Have an Amlogic S905X in it. He want to flash it with custom firmware because it's a locked one provider box that he cannot sideload apk's to. Thing is there is just not a custom firmware out there for it. I've spent way more time looking for one for him than I wanted to but I'm a nice guy. I've told him to chalk it up as a learning experience. Don't buy one provider boxes and get something that's main stream that way you stand a better chance of doing things with it in the future.

Good people should really stop trying imo, like the more you try the more the dude you're talking to asks.
And usually just impudently asks for the unreasonable without doing any research whatsoever by themselves, how rude can someone get?
Anyway lemme give you and people like you a cookie. Don't actually listen to my opinion, good natured people like you are still needed.

thanks, I appreciate that. its a good learning experience.
One thing I wanted pull back from my post is that my box is not IPmacro 5301. IPmacro is just another vendor selling that box. I digg alot of other vendors. Such as NoorHDTV, unitedTV, catcast etc. they all have same box, but under different name.
Just found another vendor http://androidtvboxquadcore.org/201...an-400-channels-two-years-of-service-include/
See attached photo of the safe mode window. what is this URL used for? I do have a paid iPTV service, should I add that here? or should I add the m3u URL directly here?
my question is still outstanding, whether my box is android or Linux?

Thank you for the compliment I am good natured. I'm actually disabled and can't work anymore so helping people let's me feel I'm still useful in the world. lol I Have a TranSpeed 8K Ultra-HD S905X3 box that came with truly cheesy firmware so I set out on a mission to make the box as good as possible without a worry over ruining it. I wasn't going to use it as it was. After several failures trying to find a suitable firmware and bricking it several times I found the SlimBox Rom and am a happy camper.
Before I found the SlimBox I set out on a mission to take another firmware that worked good but wasn't set up for my wifi chip and remote configs and fix it myself. I got as far as getting it unpacked and finding the files I needed to do the fix but wasn't able to repack it. There just not a lot of good software out there for Android 9.0 or there wasn't at the time. Ok I'm rambling have a great evening.
I just connected my box using usb male cable and nothing is happening to USB burning tool or making any sound to my PC.
Did you find the reset button and have it pushed when you powered up the device?

I did. all it does, restarted my box. I can enter the safe mode menu/security menu by just pressing 0 few times at reboot, so I don't know how useful that button. Its hard too.
Disconnect the box completely from everything but the power. Have to the box shut off depress the reset switch then plug the usb into the USB 2.0 port on the box. Then the burner should detect the box. Make sure the USB cable is rated for data transfer and the you are plugged into USB 2.0 port on the PC.

I have this cable
QVS USB 3.1 (Gen 1 Type-A) Male to USB 3.1 (Gen 1 Type-A) Male Cable 3 ft. - Black - Micro Center
Get it now! This cable connects your computer to any USB device with Type A female port. Works with development boards that uses USB Type-A female ports including JTAG programming modules. It is USB 3.0/3.
www.microcenter.com
I have one cable for HDMI connected
Other is the power.
3rd is the USB male A to Male A
I noticed, even when the power cable is disconnected the box seems on because USB cable is connected.
Some people said, to press the reset button, then connect usb to PC? I did that too nothing happens.
If I have the wrong img file, it should still at least detect it?
You know that reminds me. It's been a good while since I've done this and my memory ain't what it used to be. disconnect the power also. You don't want the box connected to anything. Then press the reset and then connect the USB.

what else I should do? I am able to run the upgrade.bin file via USB from this website http://www.eweat.com/download/iptv-box-linux/
It does complets the upgrade process. but the software is still there. I tried downloading some other .bin file and tried, to run that as upgrade it failed. so I know that website upgrade.bin is correct.
The ROM is a Disk Image File. I Don't know what to tell you. I'm not going to help you brick the box. Maybe somebody else will chime in because this is above my knowledge level.
