Hi: I would like to know if anybody knows the bluetooth chip maufacturer and type of the HTC Desire. In teardown images I found it's not possible to identify the chip. I know this is a difficult question, but maybe some has already disassembled his device and paid attention to the bluetooth chip inside
Nobody knows that? Some detailed HTC Desire datasheet would be great.

So I just read somewhere that the our hermes have an on board gps chip built in.. any way to get it to work? or is it just there and there is no use for it? thanks

Wow, this from a Senior Member I hope all 199 post were not this wise.

not again......
i know i know, but i ask with the hope that one of our geniuses here have figured out a way to make it work. sadly, it probably isnt possible, but why not check and see if someone has found out a way to make it work?

It is right next to the 10 gig harddrive.

i know i know, but you could search before you ask with the hope that one of our geniuses here have figured out a way to search before take the easy way out. sadly, it probably isnt possible

Yes you did read correctly.
The htc hermes does have a GPS
chip it's circuits, however
the chip on all release platforms have had the chip deliberately disabled in the following manor.
1.drivers removed from the roms
2. crucial pins left unconnected
3. a few support components left out
4. antenna pins and support connections for both an internal and external antenna left nonexistent .
It's very unfortunate as I spent the better part of a month looking between the thread here and on 4winmobile only to find that the best of the best hardware hackers had failed to come up with a resolve due to usually lack of tools required, components difficult at times to obtain, and the almost 98% chance of unrepairably damaging the main pcb or the surrounding components in which you would then be left with the preverbial brick of which there is no safty net or special bootloader to save you. thusly I gave up and finally just did what most get when they buy or get the hermes withco pilot. I bought a good bluetooth gps receiver and loaded software for it to be used by. in this case it was tom tom 6.
I feel for you in this one as it would have been nice if the hermes was like the artimas [ie: o2 orbit, t-mobile mda compact]
and had it built in. But alas the is no technical resolve that can be achieved as of now for this other then to go bluetooth external receiver.
*hehe chalk one up for the noobs referring to the senior vs new members to the board which I find funny as I may not post as much as others but I know more then what the rating suggests heheh*
my question is why would high paid asian techs leave some gps chip that would not be used
that is not business like at all
just like carriers leaving ot the front video camera, and still charing ridiculous prices for the unit !!!!!!!!
A few reviews mentioned an available component cable for $14.99. Has anyone seen this?
http://www.slashgear.com/mytouch-4g-review-04112057/
no...and I have been looking every where for it since reading the article. I hope it actually exists, but I'm starting to doubt it.
If anyone knows for sure, please let us know.
If you look at the accessory insert that came with the phone (between the sim card and the quick start guide) they mention an audio "component cable". I'm wondering if this is what that reviewer was talking about. Sure would be nice if there was in fact a component video cable, too. At this point I'm doubtful though...

i would have to imagine they were talking about audio as well
So, Im just lurking around with the file explorerer on my DHD and then I found a file named fw_bcm4329.bin in the /vendor/firmware folder, and I thought that maybe this means we have the same chip as on HD2 that got FM transmitter capabilities? (Broadcom BCM4329)
The chip can do it but the software doesn't exist.

All the snapdragon chipsets come with a fm transmitter/recever

So, how do we activate it?

You don't (for now).

If there was any form of public datasheet for it, we could, but it seems Broadcom is not doing that. Probably need to ask them, and sign some NDA (and work for a major mobile phone maker)
But, have'nt someone managed to activate the FM transmitter on HD2? It uses the same Broadcom chip as DHD.
Anyways, I will try to send a mail to Broadcom and ask for the datasheet

Windows Mobile is based on Windows CE, i dare say the drivers for simlar broadcom chips already existed for that enviroment

Good luck with that. I was an HD2 user and was waiting for a transmitter software but currently it hasn't moved a single bit. I think I saw someone saying that they tried contacting them but they refused.
Have now sendt an e-mail, and im awaiting the answer. Probably takes som hours because of the time difference between Norway and the U.S of A
Any updates on this? I'd love to have the FM Transmitter
I always thought XDA-Devs could achive anything after my very long time using Windows Mobile
It would indeed be great to get access to this FM transmitter !
Any news?
Does some people are working on it?
What can we do to help?
Is there any news of the driver desi FM Transmitter for HD?
Sorry for the translation.
Amazing find! Would be excellent if we could use it.
But no news...Too bad...
Hi,
I need an LCD pinout description for the Rhodium. Could anybody provide me some information about it?
Thank you
re LCD pinout.
Hi petmix,
did you ever find this info ?
am in a similar situation - I have 2 screens and wanted to hack about with them.
Cheers
Vince
Sorry to necro this thread, but I'm also really interested in this information. I've been trying to find anything about the pinouts on the lcd and keyboard, as I'd like to replace the guts of the phone with an Orange pi to have a modern system with the slide-out keyboard. Does anyone know what part numbers and manufacturers the display/keyboard have?
I found the internal HTC part numbers listed on the parts if this helps:
LCD:
60H00201-00M
I found a manual for the HTC Universal that has an LCD with a similar internal part number (60H00026-00), and it says that it's a SONY ACX526AKM-7. If I can find a datasheet for that LCD, perhaps it has a similar pinout?
Keyboard:
74H01361-00M
Hi
I have a project I am working on which I would need a way of making my phone (SGS3) send a sort of signal to an NFC receiver by just touching the receiver, this will trigger a number of processes on the PIC. My question is whether an NFC receiver is ready to buy and whether there are any datasheets. Also I would like for the phone to only need to touch, no other operation needed.
If you could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Also since I am doing this for school there really is no budget but if the price is too high I may use something else. So yeah if you know any GOOD manufacturers of NFC receivers that would be great.
Thanks
Well, you might need a complete reader chip that can handle peer-to-peer mode. Might be hard to get one. I guess what your doing is building a microcontroller (PIC?). And youd have to build the chip into your controller and write some sort of driver for it. If that should be a small school project, I'd say rather do something else (if school = university and you actually have a lot of time, may try it). Though I haven't seen a company that sells them in low numbers.
Maybe its more suitable to add a complete nfc capable reader to it? Check libnfc for some example readers that are not to expensive.

Yeah so i want to have nfc receiver as a peripheral device for a dev board. Its high school. Also my teacher told me to use bluetooth but i feel it will be difficult to write a program to interface with it. So basically this device will feel the presence of my phone by nfc and send signal to pic. So it only needs it be like a switch action. You see the phone does not need to send any data. So simply this device has nfc receiver coil on it and when phone comes it will be either 0=no phone and 1=phone present which will trigger the pic to carry out other proccesses. Can you tell me what component i would need?
Adafruit.com has everything you need for that project. I have my s3 working with a ras pi and nfc breakout board. They even write a lot of there own drivers, but they have examples of libnfc code working with there controllers.
