IPAQ --> XDA adapter

Does anyone know how to modif the IPAQ 3600->3800 series adapter, made by Think Outside (or Targus), to work as an IPAQ 3600 --> XDA adapter? The ribbon cable has only 4 wires. Is it possible to adjust the wiring in the ribbon cable, or is it necessary to rewire the connectors? Can anyone figure this out?

How many pins for the Wizard USB port?

Anyone know if the the HTC Wizard needs the 4-pin or the 5-pin USB Mini-B cable for syncing & charging from a PC?
I'm using my SONY camera's USB cable, and it has 5 pins visible inside. Dunno if it's using all 5, but there you go

Thank you very much. That's what I needed to know before I went out and bought some cables.
Yeah, it got 5 pins inside, for sure!
I have my original cable attached to my computer at work where I am right now, so it was easy to check
You can get a retractable USB-A to USB Mini 5-pin (the cable the Wizard needs) here:

I had one for my Treo and I still have all the attachments (wall plug and cigarette plug) so they will fit right into that.
I am not sure if the phone can take advantage of USB 2 so the second link might not be worth the money.

they only accept payment via bank xfer,but it's better than nothing. anyone else know any other sellers?
Does anyone have the pinout of the non-standard Startrk USB connector?
any other place to get one besides that german site? somewhere we can purchase online please. thanks
The adaptor looks like just what I need. I almost ordered a couple from the liked site, but it all became too hard. My German is just not that good. I have searched all the usual places but cannot find this adaptor anywhere else. Please, if anyone else knows where ti can be sourced (preferebly with payment via credit card) let us all know.

i've tried to search all over internet and found nothing. the only ones available are the HTC made Y cable adaptor which is pretty much overpriced and useless because i want a mini usb+3.5mm jack. even just a mini usb adaptor will do (original HTC made mini usb adaptor available, then again, overpriced). where can i find something like that? any idea guys?
yep, i've searched pretty much the whole internet

! and there's nothing. grr. if it wasn't such a ballache i'd get a spare standard cable and cut it up to solder on a mini usb socket. pinouts can't be that hard - although i'm not sure where i'd get an inline mini usb socket from.
I've bought this one for 3.5 mm jack...works great:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/stereo-headphone-adapter-for-htc-startrek-platform-p-421.html
I've paid with credit card (click on paypal....don't need a paypal account), received it within a week (all the way to Europe....;-).
headphone only though
...no mini USB charge point. thanks though.

yeah, we need something that has standard mini usb
I found a site on how to DIY usb t0 3.5mm jack for audio
http://www.andrewgrant.org/2007/08/24/making-a-35mm-headphone-adapter-for-the-cingular-3125.html
i did some modify of my own . i use sony ericsson headset instead of the one from electronic store because sony ericsson unit have mic and button to answer call. and SMALLER = LOOK BETTER
just open up the sony ericsson mic unit and there is all the wiring label print on the small little circuit board. just follow the tutorial for the wiring code and solder into it.
work great but no volume control , have to control from the phone

Maybe a little bit complicated...but let me suggest...
Take a Female mini usb from an old device (for example). Connect/sold/attach it to a Female standard usb (not all wires needed). Use startreck usb cable to charge
so close its exact
micro usb is the 3125 adapter type
Is this the same connector?

I thought the Qtek 8500 12 pin connector was unique to that handset. Have you just searched for "micro usb adaptor" or do you know something we don't?
If this would work I'd be very happy but I don't think it will.

not sure

"A regular micro-USB port would have been better than the proprietary HTC port, but we understand its necessity for the slim shape the phone has"
buy it and try it
quote "A regular micro-USB port would have been better than the proprietary HTC port"
The port on the 3125 is micro usb, the port on say a 8525 or 8125 is Mini usb
I am not saying the adapter will work, only that it is a micro to mini adapter and it should work.

Mini USB port- what is it?

the small USB port that tha supplied data cables plugs into- can someone tell me what that plug is. Its not mini-usb (at least I dont think it is) and I cant for the life of me figure out what it is (so i can buy a spare cable for the office).
Any help would be muhs appreciated.
You my friend are right, it is mini usb. The cable from my digital camera worked.
I dont think it is as when I google (or ebay) mini usb the plug is different.
Does anyone know what type of plug it is- or where I can purchase a replacement?
there are alot of "mini" usb sizes more common are the Mini b size the website below has all the differnt sizes and thier names
http://www.cablestogo.com/resources/usb.asp
Yeah but the connector/ plug from the Gtab isn't on that site. I just want to buy a spare cable but cannot for the life of me find one.

It is just a standard mini usb cable. Look here. Used with lots of cameras, phones, everything.
Here is one example.
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-Male-Mi...ltDomain_0&hash=item2c58893979#ht_1932wt_1139
Its just a mini B cable trust me i have one right here in front of me make sure you don't have a Micro b that one is much smaller then the gtabs port and will not work. if in further confusion post a pic of the connector you have and we can tell you what the plug is.
I am such a twat..
thanks guys!!!

Is the connector on the phone "physically" broken, or does it just not charge?
It just doesn't charge.
But the connector is damaged for sure.
Just as a temp solution you Cern use battery charges (connecting their probes directly to the bat. + -)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I847 using xda app-developers app
I tried to do that yesterday but it didnt work.
I cut an usb cable and I put the red and black wires only on screw (
I did not have a screwdriver )
This method : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs2t-7ALT7U
I have bought a HTC ONE S, if someone want to buy my razr in low price...
