e-Trex to i-Mate cable?

Can anyone suggest a supplier for the above connector? I intend to get the TomTom 5 kit at some point but figured I should use what I have for a while first for the price of a cable.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply. Looks like the first one would work as the others are all for IPAQ type machines and not the mini usb type needed for the i-Mate JAM.

Jasjar serial cable

Anyone know if an RS232 cable is available for the Jasjar yet or have I got to use one of these awful RS232/USB convertors?
Regards

did you ever get a lead that worked ? I can't find one and I'm trying to work out if I can hack my old IPAQ one up. cheers

A converter isn't going to work. They all require a USB Host port.

yes
also interested into this old fashionned but necessary tool to console to routers for example.
so up for this topic

I am interested also.
I was thinking about this a while back though. I think the only way this is going to work really is through a bluetooth or IR adapter.
Obviously those would require external power. Doing it with an IR adapter should be relatively easy to program, something along the lines of a PIC 16F64 or 18F452 would be more than enough. However, would it be usable? When controlling a router I would like to use the keyboard. The IR points dirctly towards the user.
However, I have little experience in how BT works, so would not be able to even think on how that would work.

Perhaps this might point you in the right direction...

Its a guide to making a GPS IRDA but I'm sure it could be suitably modified.

Bluetooth to usb
How about this: http://www.neteon.net/cat.aspx?clvl=3&c1=1&c2=177&c3=107
It's a serial to Bluetooth dongle. I don't see any WM drivers but I would think that the bluetooth stack on the latest "cooked" ROMS would support serial host since that is what most bluetooth GPS receivers use.
If it wheren't for the $108 price tag I would grab one of these myself and see if it worked.
Maybe in a few weeks. If someone else gets a chance to try this one, please post here and let us know.

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:

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.

TV-Out on Diamond?

g´d evening,
now that there are several dumps of pro roms doing it´s rounds - i was wondering if there are any news about a possible tv-out in the diamond. last time i checked the forum and the news on various sites there was mentioned that they share the same hw (exept for the keyboard). so, is there any chance that we´ll ever be able to hook it up to our tvs?

this model don't have TV-Out, the only connector is mini USBext (= mini usb + stereo headtset )

Yes but the Diamond Pro also have the same connection and has a cable with the s-video out function...

TarKin - interesting proposition. By maybe I think that we won't know until some of our cookers get hold of some HTC touch pro roms. Also I think that it is not a s-video out - only composite video?

Okay if there is a TV out on this Jewel THATS it!!!
Best device ever!
By farrrr

It seems that they've already seen it... let's hope...

Charge or synchronise your HTC Touch Diamond simply by placing the device in the cradle connector. You can plug the desktop cradle into a home stereo system via the cradle’s 3.5mm line out connection to enjoy high quality music playback.
Intergrated Spare Battery Charger
It can be charged and synchronised with HTC Touch Diamond AC Adaptor UK TC B100 (not included) or HTC Touch Diamond Data Cable DC U300 (USB/miniUSB) (not included).
This cradle comes with two inserts (the plastic holders) for Touch Diamond and Touch Diamond extended battery and it also supports the inline connection of the following optional accessories:
HTC Touch Diamond Multifunction Audio Cable YC A200
TV Out Cable TC A110 (pre-release)
This is for the desktop cradle for the touch diamond, gotten from expansys. dont know if it has anything to say, but i hope so

yes the cable does Exist for the Diamond, though its not available in the Current ROM hence why the adapter is "pre-release".

@walshieau
do i understand you correctly: *your* opinion is that it´s just a matter of time until we´ll see a working tv-out (rom+cable) or the diamond? is that correct?

A TV out on HTC Diamond!! So good!!

It must have some kind ov Video output!
Check this demonstration! His fooling around with a Dimond connected to a TV.

Well, when the Gameboy was released, you could play tetris on TVs in the shops. For many years I thought "hey, they might bring out a tv adapter someday". They never did.
But hey, this is 2008 ! everything is possible !

it`s probably not an TV but beamer connected to pc which is connected with diamond through BT or WiFi and some software for presenting mode ?

I already have the mini USB to VGA out connector! Yes, from the HTC Athena. Only if the ROM is ready, id be glad to test it out.
Regards,
Carty..

Nicee...let´s wait for the rom...or a cab to update drivers, theres already diamond pro roms out there..lets see if anyone can find out if it realy have tv-out he only thing missing in this beaty

Ridiculous
How many other threads related to this should be initiated of what we already have?
it does not belong in here (ROM thread)
it belongs in accesories as we talk about a cable yes? ,
When using the Search function "vide out" you'll find plenty of posts - threads already.
Expansys has- had removed the cable (picture) from all their websites for unknown reason otherwise you will see how it look. Easy to copy-cat.
And for God sake yes, spread the following math:
11(or 16pin TBC) USB to Cinch Cable + Rom tweak = Video out
(though this needs to be proven. ... Same as the never found solution for the TytnII drivers)

Hello, this is definitely about ROM thread *we are talking about whether the ROM supports TV out* we are not merely talking about some lead. If the ROM supports TV out, we could either use the lead from the Touch Pro, or we could make our own. Until it comes to the issue of "leads" this will remain a ROM issue. Perhaps when we are discussing leads and adapters we will need to use the "accessories" area, and then you can contribute some helpful infos. cheers

Bullocks. but... whatever you say .. whatever you say.
I won't argue. I am too old for this
Anyone used the search function on "video out" no I guess?

USB / Wall Charger

I have done a bit of research, and can't quite get a good answer. What I am wondering is that is there an official Samsung Galaxy S3 charger? And if so, where to get it? I have yet to get an S3, but most likely getting one late this week or early next week, so asking my questions before hand.
Also, I have had a couple blackberry's in the past, and have about 4-5 wall charger that uses the micro-usb connection, would these chargers be compatible with the Galaxy S3 since they have the same plug?
Thanks,
JP

I've bought this one
Hello,
I've bought this one and it works ok. On the exterior I can't tell a difference to the original. It has 1A as the the original (yes, I've tested the power).
Best regards.

Thanks for the link. Anyone else have inputs? Seems like the Galaxy S3 charger has an output of 5V with 1amp.

I'll buy this to use as a wall charger for the Kindle.
