SIPIX A6 Printer Problems Left Unsolved - General Accessories

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but has anyone got a SIPIX A6 Printer printing from a 2003 rom? Mine worked with 2002 and for a time, 2003. Now it will not print, and I'm not sure why. I adjusted the port settings for winxp, and got it to print, so I know the unit is not defective. Someone who knows something about this, please share it with us. TIA.

External Antenna Adapter for I-Mate JasJar needed

As I have some times a bad GSM / GPRS signal I would like to connect an external antenna to my I-Mate JasJar. All my efforts to find a connector which fit to the small JasJar connector failed. I-Mate Support suggested Expansy and they worked hard to find one, but without success.
Also different web stores specialized in mobile antennas I have unsuccessfully contacted already!
Please, does anyone of this knowledgeable forum know from where I can purchase an External Antenna Adapter or External Antenna for my JasJar?
I would be glad for any assistance!
Thanks,
Martin :lol:
No responds to my inquery of External Antenna Connector?????

A little patience dude, some people here get to log on only once a week.
Check out this site : http://www.lacasadelgps.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=21_41
They have lots of antennas for GSM/GPS. I don't know what the connector of the Universal is called.
There are other sites here in Spain that sell stuff like this but i need the name of the connection before i search for you.
I don't know what the connector of the Universal is called!
Hi Jorgee,
Thank you so much for the information!
As I don’t know how this antenna sockets of the JasJar are named I have send an e-mail to the web-shop you have suggested.
No one could tell me how the JasJar socket for the external antenna is called, that’s why it is difficult to find one.
I-Mate support directed me to Expansy and the Expansy support service have tested all antennas available in there store, but no one was compatible.
Desperately I need an external antenna and I am surging 4 month for it already!
Let’s wait and see!
Again Thanks a lot!
Martin
Have any of you find proper connector ???
No luck and I don’t know who else can help!
No, unfortunately all forums I have surged and asked for no one knows the right connector.
I send also e-mails to HTC Taiwan and I-mate, HTC did not responded at all.
No luck and I don’t know who else can help! :x
See the other thread ...
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34501.
There still appears to be no connector available. I got the official answer from imate techsupport of what the connector on the phone was ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/MHCH196.pdf ), but no one seems to have the adaptor for it yet. So I finally just made my own. Hopefully, one will come out soon. Tech support said to keep any eye on Expansys for one, although, I had some horrible experiences with them so I do not intend to purchase anything from them again.

Co-Pilot Installation

hi every1,
my 3 contract runs out next month and i am thinking about getting the MDA Compact III.
My question is about co-pilot that comes with the t-mobile UK bundle. I was wondering if was able to get hold of the installation cd's from somewhere ... can i install it on my empty memory card
are there any serial numbers or anything that i might need?
//edit
just another question to add. anyone with the co-pilot bundle. i went to a t-mobile shop today to ask them about a similer question. worded differently tho lol. seem to have answered my question. the co-pilot bundle does come with original installation cds for you to re-install them on your mem card. ;-)
but the women said that the co-pilot bundle comes with an antenna that plugs into the back of the phone. now im wondering
1) is this really needed? bcoz i thought the GPS was in-built????
2) wot type of antenna would i need? and how much do they cost?
thanks,
Snoop
Ive ordered a compact III without the copilot bundle. from reading other peoples reviews, they have installed software such as tomtom on the pda and it worked successfully. Hence im pretty sure you dont need any sort of antenna. Interesting to know what they meant?

thats a good point you know. maybe she said that it comes with attenna because it would help boost the signal. bcoz my friend has a navman pda and he uses an external attenna to do just that.
it be interesting to know to excat box contents of the phone and phone with copilot bundle. can anyone fill us in please
thanks,

Sounds interesting.
Maybe they include an RDS antenna to get live traffic updates??
Can anyone confirm this?
hi guys,
regarding this external antenna. please read below. found it on this website http://htcphonestore.com/review.asp?itemMDL=HTC_P3300
GPS Navigation
One of the best features of the Artemis is the integrated GPS. With a built in GPS Sirf-Star III chipset, navigation was seamless. The unit comes bundled with TomTom 6, and included in your purchase is the ability to download one free city-map. Additionally, there is an external antenna port on the back of the unit which enables you to achieve better satellite reception. More on the GPS capabilities in Part II.
just need to find out what type it is. maybe some with the manual can have a read through and tell us. if under there accessories section they mention anything.
thanks,
snoop
found this description about a Bluetooth GPS antenna?
http://www.yourkindamobile.co.uk/upgrades2_orange.asp?Phone=2036&Network=T-Mobile
Includes Co-Pilot GPS navigation which gives you spoken and on-screen turn instructions, satellite positioning, address-level street map, ETA and distance remaining, detour around traffic and 2D or 3D display with night mode. Bluetooth GPS antenna included.

If you really think you need an external aerial for the GPS unit in your device (which I doubt to be honest) have a search for the part number 36H00352-00M it transpires that the same aerial was supplied for the I-Mate PDA-n, you can purchase one from http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=129590 (at least I can improve the reception on my PDA-n now I know that! and I have found a use for the external GPS aerial that was supplied with my Arte) - Mike
To confirm guys...
I opened the box to an MDA III co-pilot and the package contains:
Software
Moulded Car Holder (Windscreen Sucker)
Car charger for MDA
No GPS antenna and no Bluetooth receiver. This product retails at 169.99 compared to 199.99 with the GPS bluetooth receiver (Vario, Vario 2 etc...)

wwwhoooo thanks treblechance. thanks for confirming, must mean the shop assisant meant that you can BUY one extra. like the one pointed out by mikealder. because i know a friend who has one of those navman pda's and he is using an external attenaa to boost the signal. and simply plugs in the back, similar place to what the shop assisstant showed me.
looks like i what need to buy the copilot bundle after all SAVING me a bundle of $$$ hehe
thanks everyone for the help.
If you have the hardware and only need the GPS software try using it first with the inbuilt GPS, don't go wasting money on the external GPS aerial, the receiver in the Artemis is very good without re-course to an external feed. If you have a car with Athermic coated glass you might experiance a signal drop but even so I would try it first and it should be fine with just the device on its own - Mike
ye good point mike. thats what some of my friends said. thanks

TomTom on the MDA Compact III? Anyone used one?
Hi all,
I am in the process of getting tmobile mda iii compact without the bundled co-pilot but tmobile call centre said it wouldn’t work but I’m very taken with tom tom.
So I am seeking information from anyone that has actually pulled it off.
This is because I would like to know if there are any negatives involved and what.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanx

hi,
i think they may be right. i tried getting co-pilot to work on my mda but wasnt having any of it. so i gave up in the end. i think the only way you can install it is using some kind of auto install file that is on the memory that is provided when you buy the bundle.
as for tom tom. i have managed to get that working just prefect. i tried it inside my house wasnt getting a very good signal. stepped outside...and hey presto 11 signals picked up. i havnt done full test of it i.e. driving from my house to another location. but it seemed to work fine when i did a small walk around my local area.
hope that helps.

i have a question about copilot's installation. Does anyone know where the license file is installed. I had copilot installed on one device and copied files onto another device thinking that would save me download time. Anyway now it keeps picking the licensing info from the previous device. I have tried uninstall and reinstall but that did not help. If someone could help me with resetting the licensing info so I can register the software with the new key. Thanks.

upgrade to orbit? yes or no?

o2 have offered me an upgrade from my IIi to the orbit. As some of you have been using the orbit for a little while is it all it's cracked up to be?
and does tomtom work ok with the orbit and the built in gps reciever?
cheers guys
Go for it you will love it if not sell it many will be after it if you don't like it.
Or you could wait for the zinc (feb 07 or so) if you can do without the gps in-built?
There is an issue with MicroSD's that possibly dosnt effect all units. See other threads.
Apart from that and if you clock it to 250MHz it works extremely well. I loved my BlueAngel but even my old stylus feels fat now. The jog dial / track ball is mega and internal GPS a breeze. The slower CPU also has the benefit of longer battery life.
I am currently looking for one for a friend on eBay and they are going for £300+ so if you dont like it can always sell and keep old phone...
ps. I use a Sandisk UltraII 2gb MicroSD which may speed up map access etc, its generally slightly slower than my 500MHz BlueAngel but no problem.
I'm a new user of the Xda Orbit, my first WM PDA after owning a tapwave zodiac and the first phone I can really type text messages on. For a PDA it's light, snappy (my last wm device was a Compaq Aero 15xx), has an excellent battery life and the GPS works a treat.
The biggest benefit is the size, though, compared to the other similarly featured Xda's in the o2 lineup this one is TINY, it dropped the jaws of my techy colleagues to the floor.
I find TomTom to be pretty fast and accurate getting a fix, route calculations are fast enough, but it is a little slow to start up initially- overclocking helps but not much. I have overclocked to 260 for PocketSNES and on other occasions but find it normally fast enough to be comfortable - quite a feat with a meer 200mhz!
I'd say go for it, I'm posting this message from Mine now! got 3 tabs open text-mode in NetFront- browsing perfection!
I have had the following:
XDA II
XDA IIs
XDA IIi
XDA Exec
And recently upgraded to the Orbit. I must say that it is the closest I have come to being 100% happy with an XDA.
Had no idea how compact this device is. No more holding a brick to your ear, this is an aesthetically pleasing device - even for non PDA'ers.
I haven't found anything that doesn't work yet. I thought the GPS would be just another gimick and there was no way it was going to work properly without an external antenna - WRONG! Stick TomTom 6.02 on it and away you go. Managed nearly seven hours of GPS directed driving before the battery got too low (have now got a car charger).
I have been waiting for a device that combined all the functionality of a good PDA and phone in a phone size package and here it is.............and they throw in a GPS and FM Radio to boot.
and one more thing if you get a decent set of headphones (either buy an adapter or do a bit of DIY soldering) it's a pretty decent MP3 player too. 2GB micro SD from Moby Memory for about £40 and painless synching with Media Player 11 and your away.
The main reason I have a PDA phone is for Terminal Server. I provide software support and it gives me the freedom to get out of the House/Office and still be able to support my Clients. I was always able to justify carrying around a house brick (EXEC) because of this. Now I don't have to this phone is great and I have to say it ..... Gorgeous.
OK now it's out - I love my Orbit!!!
Go get one - I'm pretty sure you'll be happy!
Hope this helped!
Since a couple of weeks ago, I'm also the proud owner of a HTC P3300, after owning a Qtek S100 for a year and a half.
I'm truly very happy with my new P3300.
Almost all of the features have been mentioned in other replies to your post (and I agree with them), so, I want to add that, despite having the same 64Mb of RAM as the S100, it seems to me (I'm no expert) that memory management works better (probably WM5 instead of WM2003 has something to to with it) than it did on the S100.
Also the new 2Mpixel camera works very well, the picture quality is very good. It doesn't have flash or 'macro mode' selector, but I can live without it.
The phone capabilities are good (I had a lot of problems with the S100 not relating phone numbers to names or contact photos).
Apart from a little problem I had with activesync (mentioned in another thread and already solved) it's been working perfectly.
As for the GPS softwares, I use Destinator 6 (instead of TomTom) and Navitel (with custom Madeira map) for navigation and both of them work perfectly.
Bottom line, and yes, I'll be repating myself, I'm very very happy with my P3300.
regards,
thanks for the advice guys! looks like im off to get myself one then!
How about InfraRed capability?
I currently own a Mini S and I'm really keen to upgrade to the Orbit. I've however found that Orbit seems not to have an InfraRed port. So I wouldn't be able to use it as a TV remote control. Can anyone please confirm? Thanks.

as far as i could see and i've read no it doesnt have an IR port, but surely using your phone as a tv remote isn't the be all and end all is it?

I asked HTC about making this device with consumer grade IR and 3G to make this a complete device. This is the response i got from HTC.
"Thank you for getting in contact with HTC regarding your recommendations and support. its more than likely a phone will come out with the functions you have asked. Its a case that at the moment a trade of as to be implemented due to technology reasons due to the GPS functions incorporated in to the phone, which requires other hardware to be dropped from the phone. The GPS being implemented is still fairly new concept and even through I don't have details of future phones its only a matter of time before it happens. Personally i'm waiting for a phone/GPS with slide out keyboard, which again can only be a matter of time.
Thank You for your comments"
All in all adding IR and 3G would make this one compact complete device. Use it to control your gadgets, navigate you around when driving, using it for phone and all manner of PPC functionality with virtually every connection option. One day it will be reality.
Just a snippet from HTC
Hope that helps.
Absolutely YES
Look at my signature, I've worked with nearly all HTCs from an early stage. If you can live without a keyboard, this is THE device to have at the moment.
HTC are nearing perfection!
Best device ever released (excluding the Universal for business use, still unbeatable).
I just got one - having been through the magician (which the wife now loves and uses) and the exec (which I still use as an excellent business tool) I have got to say that I am bowled over by the Orbit/3300 - WM5.0 AKU3, GPS, great screen, brilliant battery life (I get 3 days moderate usage out of mine between charges - 10 calls per day, push email on 18 hours per day, occasional GPS use!
GET ONE - U WILL NOT REGRET IT - and per other posts, if you don't like it I am sure it will get snapped up on EBAY

WM6 Printing / My SiPix is working!

I've been playing with the WM6 Rom's and thought I'd experiment before I had my TyTn fully software loaded. I took out the old SiPix thermal printer and loaded my old Print Pocket CE software from 2002. I could not get the printer to work in WM5 at all. It has a driver for the SiPix along with most other printers these days. First try, the TyTn did not even see the printer. Then I went to http://www.fieldsoftware.com/PrintPocketCE.htm
, and they show a new version that is a free upgrade with previous version ownership. I d/l'd it and loaded the newest version. I read this note on the site.
Note for Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC users:
PrintPocketCE prints Pocket Word .PSW and Pocket Excel .PXL file formats.
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PCs use DOC & XLS file formats which cannot be printed by PrintPocketCE. There are no current plans to add this support into PrintPocketCE.
So, since I use "Spread CE" spreadsheet software for my 8 page expense report (it will not work in WM6 excel mobile). I remembered reading that it allows conversion from xls to .pxl so I saved my expense spreadsheet as .pxl and "Ta Da!" The SiPix printed the spreadsheet just fine. I have found that notepad prints along with .pxl using the PrintPocketCE software from my TyTN to the Sipix. I have really missed the ability to carry a small printer (thermal) as I hand out quotes frequently to customers. I've struggled with portable inkjet printers, which if not used a bunch, seem to have dried up ink when ever I really needed it. This is a huge discovery for me (a traveling gadget freak!) and may just make my life a little easier.
Check out the SiPix, its about the size of a small paperback book, runs on 4 AA batteries, and if you hunt you can also find drivers for WinXP. The SiPix has been selling for less than $20 for a couple of years, so it's dirt cheap if you can find one.
Where can i found "Spread CE" ?
i found only version for Win98 and not for pocketpc...
http://www.byedesign.freeserve.co.uk/
Thanks.
I have download and install the file "Spremait".
But i have look that is not possible print the graphs.
I need to save the document as pxl. in main memory. It will not find it in storage card. Then I can print using print pocket.

[Q] EVO as a phone line to send/receive faxes from wireless printer

hei guys im going to try and explain this as best as possible because I've been scouring the net and forum for an answer but to no avail. So forgive any possible noobness incurred.
I have an HP 4500 wireless all-in-one printer but i do not have a land phone line. I can use it to print wirelessly by utilising the wifi-tether but i was wondering, is it also possible to use my EVO to send and receive faxes from my printer as well?
If anyone can provide an answer of any sort, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

I would think no - there's just too much data transfer required. Why not sign up for something like efax.com?
People still send faxes?
