Wizard connecting to GPS using cable - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories

Hi,
I'm sorry if this question was answered before. I've searched inside and outside of the forum for the answer in vain.
I'm trying to connect a Garmin eTrex H GPSr to my HTC Wizard. I know USB host controller is required (which is missing in Wizard) to connect any device via USB. Therefore I want to know if I can connect this GPSr (which has serial interface) to the Wizard through USB port or any other port. My understanding is that Wizard has a serial port (probably the UBS port) - I can also see a serial port using port scanning software.
If this was discussed earlier, please tell me so that I can search more.
Thanks a lot.

another way to do it
I was wondering, if the above method is hopeless - is there a way to virtually map Bluetooth serial port to the physical mini-USB port? Anybody knows a software that can do this?

xda usb and driver

as a side project to my "htc serial mouse" , i would like to make a usb device attachment to be able to pluig in such devices as webcameras usb printers and joysticks. i am trying to develop the cable but withought having a driver for any device i cannot test it. as my current knoloage there is a xda camera, can i please have a link to the drivers so i can adapt them to work wit hte usb webcam?
thankyou.
I didnt think it was possible to connect any type of usb device to an xda1 because the xda is a slave device and doesnt have the hardware/software to host other slave devices. I would be interested to know how you will add his capability.
not sure lol thats y im working on it, altho i didnt relise it was a slave. is there a software mod i can add to change this? could explain my problems
I think you would need to redesign the xda to include the usb capability.
ahh
ahh i see, im sorry to ask, but is the slave part writted in codeo n the rom or is it a hardware based hting? thankyou.
The hardware does not exist within the xda as far as I know it isnt a software issue.
i too would say it's hardware usb unlike firewire can only have one master at the time and making a peripheral which can both be peripheral and master cost more
read more about usb if you like, maybe you can prove us wrong ?

GPIO pin3 is for docking (goes to 0) and undocking (goes to 3).
The location for USB was found to be 0xAA000000 virtual (PocketPC) from the following registry entry:

is there a way to port USB to XDA2? Let me know

THANKYOU THIS WILL HELP I THINK!!!!!!
hi
just worked with hte abouve and relised that the virtual usb is still client thanks tho
Raptor,
Read through this section of MSDN for USB ce and you'll see why you can't drive a USB peripheral from a win ce device:

Unless you want to write the U/OHCI piece and provide the physical cableing to connect to a usb peripheral.

Defective Serial Port???

Hi People,
I hope someone can help me solve a problem connecting a GPS receiver to my MDA. I'm working with Tom Tom and when I try to access the receiver on COM 1 I get an error "cannot connect to COM1, port does not exist". When the reciever is connected to a friends unit it works fine.
I see a couple of possibilities:
The serial port is broken.
Dirver problem. (I don't think so because I've updated to the newest ROM from T-Mobile)
Tom Tom problem (unlikely because I installed a different software with similar result).
Has anyone had similar problems? If the serial I/O buffer is def. can it be changed? I'm a technician but I don't have any circuit diagrams.
Is there any other way of hooking a serial receiver up to the MDA other then the serial port? TT offers the options Ser to usb, ser to ird, ser to com2 and com9. none of these work directly with the serial cable.
Thanks for any help I get.

Go to settings/connections/beams, make sure beams is unchecked. Also if you have an external keyboard driver present you need to deactivate it.
IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip! Hours of talking to T-Mobile couldn't solve the problem. They suggested having my SIM card checked.
Cheers,
DB
Glad to be of service 8)

Host Control

Can our mini USB ports be used to connect things like usb flash drives, I know it cannot by default but doesnt the samsung and qualcomm chisets support this? I know windows CE supports it as well.
My first guess is that if you had a USB -> miniUSB adapter, it would probably work, assuming there is a driver available to the system. What would be the benefit to that though? Just use a USB cable to grab stuff off the device if you really need something there.. OR, email it to yourself via. a webmail account...
Could be cool to get to work though!
isnt com6 marked for RIL serial?

would that be suggesting a possible way to use the mini usb port? what is EXTUSB that htc offers on some of there devices? would that be a host control feature?
To All... the HTC Hermes does not Support USB-HOST... try running a search for this as i have answered this question before.....

Android-to-Android USB-Tethering

Hi all,
For some time now I've been working on Android-to-Android Tethering, which seems to be pretty difficult without 3rd party apps and/or HW peripherals (such as USB-to-Ethernet converters).
I've been working with a Rooted Samsung Tab Active 2 running Android 7.1.1 and several internet-connected devices: Samsung S8, Samsung S7 and also another Tab Active 2. All devices come with RNDIS support and have "Ethernet configuration" under connection settings.
I managed to get it to work using "EasyTether" with a client app and a server app. BUT, first, I don't like and don't want an app that controls all my networking data. Second, I don't understand how come we haven't yet done it with native Android configurations.
I tried connecting two device via USB cable using a standard USB-C to USB-A to OTG converter to Type-C (or micro-USB-B with the S7).
On the host device (the one with the OTG connector) I enabled USB tethering, but nothing happened. Tried pinging devices, but no dice. still, both devices recognize a connected USB-device and I can see their details using a USB-Diagnostics app.
Tried turning on Rndis as the USB setting - On some cases both Rndis interfaces up and running, with IP addresses, subnets and routes configured, but nothing. Not even a ping between devices. On other cases Rndis would be DOWN, but setting "ifconfig rndis0 up" would do nothing without printing any error.
I believe now that the Rndis drivers present in an Android phone or Tablet contain only the part of the client, while the host part of the driver exists on PCs.
I would appreciate some help with this.
Thanks,
Shedaim
Hi, sorry to reviwe old thread. But did you get anywhere with this? I am looking for a ethernet tether. I got the following adapter https://www.kjell.com/se/produkter/dator/mac-tillbehor/plexgear-multiadapter-for-usb-c-p61629 That worked great meaning it could power the phone at the same time as working as a usb and ethernet adapter. Internet to the phone with cable no problem. The phone (samsung A8) detects the adapter as a eth0. BUT there is no function to "tether with ethernet".... This is super strange that it has not been built in. Have googled it for ages but cant find anything.

USB Interface won't work

Hello everyone,
I am having an issue with my Motorola Edge Plus that I hope someone can help me with. Whenever I try to connect my device to my laptop using a USB Type-C to Type-C cable, it is not detected by my laptop. However, the phone does charge when connected to the laptop.
I have tried several troubleshooting steps, including:
Trying a different USB cable
Enabling USB debugging and changing USB preferences
Checking my laptop's USB port and trying a different one
Installing device drivers
Checking for software updates
None of these steps have worked so far. When I try to enable USB debugging or change USB preferences on my device, those options are greyed out and cannot be selected.
I would really appreciate any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem with their Motorola Edge Plus? Is there anything else I can try to get my device to connect to my laptop?
Thank you in advance for your help

The USB preferences menu is just disabled and only accessible by the search, which doesn't change any setting.
