I just bought an unlocked T-mobile pocket pc phone edition off of a person from up in the T-mobile area. I am currently with Cingular. I just input all the GPRS settings for Cingular and they work great.
I also have both models of the Digitraveler GPS from Radio Shack. They sold one for a laptop with a serial connection ,which is what I use with my Casio E-200. They also have model that comes with three cables one being for the Ipaq 3800. If you didn't know has the same connector as our XDAs. All you have to do is to unlock the connector housing with a small screw driver then unsoldered the wires and resoldered the three wires black GND to pin 5 on the XDA connector, Red TXD to pin 8 and Brown RXD to pin 10. I'm not at fault if you solder two pins together. Be very careful as 22 pins are in an area of an inch or so. Before you start up the Delorme Xmap software ,which is included with the GPS PDA version. You will need to go under the settings tab and uncheck the IR setting this will give you COM1 which is what the serial connection uses. When you connect the GPS with the software it should come up and say aquiring GPS. If not you may have solered to a wrong pin. This is a killer phone, PDA and GPS setup now. I will try to post some pics.
You could also solder two wires on for a charging circuit to the connector.

Yes that sound great I'm looking forward to see some pictures :lol:
P.s
I have Microsoft Pocket Street 2002 GSP feature can you recommend me a GPS unit to connect to my XDA :?:
Is the Digitraveler unit still available? I can't find it on their website... well, not in their online catalogue anyway. There's plenty of downloads, etc, for it
As I'm in Australia, its a long way to go just to drop in and see if there's any on the shop floor

Hi XDA-rocks - is that the same unit rebadged? I suspect I don't actually need the s/w, and that the maps won't be of much use, given I'm in Australia... I can get local software for the Pocket PC for $50 AU [approx 15 UK pounds I think] and I have local maps already...
Also, newb question, do I pay VAT when ordering from outside of the UK???
Sorry to be a pain; any help appreciated!
Cheers,

The link above is actully for an IPAQ (so you'd probably have to do some soldering).
The manufacturers site does mention XDA compatibility. Check out
http://www.royaltek.com
Sorry, but I don't know what the situation regarding VAT is.
That's cool - you've been a big help already!

Normally, you do not have to pay VAT (if the price does not include VAT).
But shipping charge may be high.
All good - I've approached the manufacturer directly to see what they offer [if anything] Failing that, I'll go retail.
Thanks for all the help guys,
Cheers,

If you need shipping assistance, I'll be glad to be a middle man. I ship stuff to the UK all the time, and it is not expensive. You do not pay VAT but you do pay an import tax if the product is declared. I normally mark the customs for as "gift" which avoids the import tax.
Hey Dave, can you post more pics and maybe some more details about the soldering of the connectors?. I got my Xda, and I just got the Digitraveler, super cheap off ebay ($50!!). And I want to do this. Please help on how
I got it!, I succesfully followed Dave's instructions and now I have my Xda running Mapopolis with the Digitravel GPS. Is sooo cool!
I want to see If I connect the power suply, but the cable and the solder work came out really nice and neat. and I'm afraid to mess it up. I'll look into solutions, but so far the GPS works perfect, and cheapest solution!.
I will post a detailed tutorial with lots of pictures and diagrams on my website soon.
If someone needs me to help them out, or doesn't want to deal with the soldering and the hassle, let me know.
Question to the XDA-DEV gods. I'm a little confused. I see that the Xda car charger works on 6V according to this image and the Digitravel works also on 6V, according to the manual. Can I use just one car charger and splice the cables to each device?. Also, also I see in the diagram 6V I checked in the back of the phone and It says 5V. please help
RadioSHACK GPS
i took your advice and got me a DigiTraveler too!
Radio Shack #20-1601 $39
i rewired the cable as u discribed. THANKS DAVE!!!
it now works great with my T-Mobile PPC.
...is there a better program than the one that came with it tho?
i've seen somewhere, a program that have Voice prompts that
advice u as you're driving to turn right and left...
OH! by the way... you can also get a 2.5 to 3.5 audio jack converter
along with one of those CD to TAPE adaptors, and u can have all audio
play on the loud cas speakers! great for speaker fone option
According to some reviews, Mapopolis is the all around solution. Faster, cleaner and easier to use. It has voice prompts too. Destinator is too big and complicated to use, of course, I only have tried for a couple of hours, but I will continuing testing it. I've been looking to TomTom USA Maps (Florida), but I can't seem to find any source, if someone can direct me for a Florida Map, would be greatly appreciated it.

What are you using for soldering setup?
:?: :?: :?:
Curious. What are you using for your soldering setup? I opened up the car charger connector end and the pins are soooooo small I can barely see them. What I'd like to do is solder the speaker pins to the tape converter so that I don't have to use the 2.5 - 3.5 connector (thus having to only connect one thing). I'd also be able to connect the gps to it too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
:shock:
I got it from RadioShack, costed me $7.50, and it came with the solder iron, a soldering iron stand, so you don't burn up anything, heatsink clamp, a very handy soldering tool, and the solder. Is very cheap, and Is small snough to use it for this job. Is helpful to just move the other pins to the side in order to isolate the pin that you are soldering, after you are done with each, and the solder is hard, move to the side and continue to the next one. Of course, move them slighty and slowly, don't yank it.
oh yeeeahh!. Now I have POWER!. I just finished soldering the connectors to a Xda power supply and now I can connect the Xda with the Digitraveler and charge the phone at the same time!. I adapted a retractable sync'n'charge cable to it (I used one of the other cables included, I think the one that I used was the Palm connector, since I didn't want to mess up the original cable that I did, in case something goes wrong) and just removed the syncing cables and left the ones for charge. One thing though I think the diagrams for the charger in the Xda-dev page is wrong, I got it working with pins 16,17,18 for (-) and 20,21,22 for (+). In the page shows 15,17,18 for (-) and 19,21,22. I got my conclusion dissasembling a car charger and examining the pins. Since this is a USB charger, it charges from the computer, and also, since I have the adapter to charge it for the car. It works perfect so far, I get the light on when I connect and the message that is charging!. I'll test drive it tomorrow with the GPS. Since the GPS accepts a regular a regular charger (available at RadioShack), I just connect everything with a Y-cable and that's it. A super cheap GPS system with full power! for less than $60 bucks!.
I'll post pictures and a turorial how to do it (including the charging connector) in my website soon
1. Excuse my poor "germish"
2. Does anybody know if I can use the Navi-Kit of my former Yakumo dealta Co-Pilot-Bundle also for my brandnew xda II from o2? Physically the connector fits, but what's about the inside mysteries of the connector? Is there any danger of damaging the xda II? :shock: Is it always the same pin which brings the electricity from the lighter-plugs to the different pda's?
Thanks for any good advice! :lol:
what make was it for? Ipaq 38xx/39xx if so dont use it it will need rewireing and you can blow your xda 2 up.
if it was from your old xda 1 it will work fine

It would appear that my device is a KAIS130. Does anyone know how this differs from the KAIS100, KAIS110, and KAIS120?
NW
I have no idea how it differs - but I also have a KAIS130...
It would be interesting to see if you have any trouble registering on the HTC e-Club...
See this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332992&page=5
I believe we all have 130's. When you take your battery back off, there's a sticker ABOVE your battery. What is the country code? Mine's EU.

Different number of cameras!
From FCC docs
100: 3M camera no front camera
110: No camera
120: Both cameras
Not sure where the 130 came from

Mine is also KAIS 130. With date of manufacture 061107(TB02)/EU Yet I have none of the problems stated here Bought it in Rotterdam.
Has any one noticed that the battery also hasModel KAIS 160
These codes may not mean much in the solution of the registration and other problems
The KAIS130 is the standard HTC production version. The AT&T version will probably be the 100, etc. The T-Mobile Vario III might be the 120 version.

Re:
the Kais130 is the battery model number, not your device model. hence why its on the battery
id assume if they release an extended battery, it would be called the kais200 or something...

NO YOUR WRONG!!
Most Kaisers out now are KAIS130's the Battery is a KAIS160 go look at your battery if you want to know what Kaiser you have put your phone into bootoader mode by pressing and holding in the Camera and power button and then reset while holding those buttons in or pull the battery out an it will say KAIS130 on a small white sticker! I hate when people spread false info!! So please be smart before you post and do some research!
Has anyone else noticed that the battery is now grounded to the phone through the 4 gold tabs under the battery hence why the back of the battery is metal. I find this very strange also look at the hermes battery compaired to the Kaiser on the Kaiser we now only have 4 connectors as opossed to the hermes 6 on the Kaiser the 6th one i was talking about is now the whole battery on the back. Open yours up and look and you will see what I mean
oh sorry, got the number mixed up, yes the battery is 160, thats what i was refering to. no idea bout 130...

No YOU are wrong! The battery has only 4 contacts, do some research before spreading false info!! It's the truth, but I' just messing with ya
I actually started a thread about the battery and ground plate, seems that they are using it as an additional shield or ground plane. The thing to be carefull about is if buying a spare, make sure it's also got the plate.
Damn it lol... I didnt feel like pulling mine out and looking! Guess I'm getting old!

Odd, I would have expected them to give it a different number because of the different front. Good info though.
perhaps the purpose of the metal back and gold contacts is to dissipate the oodles of heat the batt generates?

hm, wikipedia says something different:

so which is true? I'm asking because I'm on a quest for a Kaiser without camera (is there even one?)

I have the non Camera version ATT Tilt NC (8900) and it shows KAIS110 under the battery.
Having just had a new Kaiser delivered with KAIS130 on it, I would suspect that it means it's the next version up... It would make sense anyway
Charge/Headphone/Sync port failed after 8 months Orange have just sent me another.

Hi There!
I am owning a HTC Kaiser 130. The Model was sold by T-Mobile Austria. I don't know, where else this type of PDA was sold.
Greetings from Austria...

Welcome to the xda-dev forum Faity and it's nice to see someone who fills in their profile correctly. The wiki now covers all of this stuff (since the original posts are from way back in 2007) so those interested can find out the differences there. The T-Mobile Austria version may be similar to the one they sell (or at least sold - not sure if it's still avail here) in the UK and other parts of Europe (although NOT the USA).
KAIS130 - KAIS160? Confused!
Hi,
I have been using a TyTN II for about a year now. All of a sudden, it has developed a problem. If a call goes on for about 4-5 minutes, the phone powers off. Even with 100% battery charge. Rebooting doesn't work as it comes to the the screen with "smart mobility" and then powers off again. Once I connect it to mains and power on, it boots properly. After such reboots, sometimes it shows the battery empty, other times, it shows it at 95-99%.
Out of curiosity, I checked the phone. I found that the battery says KAIS160 3.7V - 1350mAh. Below that, it also says 4.2V DC. On removing the battery, the body (behind the battery) says KAIS130, 5V DC, 1 A.
Does this mean I have a wrong battery? Is the reason that the phone needs 5V and 1 Amp while the battery is a 3.7V?
My apologies if this question has been answered already or if this is the wrong forum. I felt this thread would be the most apt.
hi guys, im looking for a external antenna for my kaiser, for a better 3g reception since I have only 1 or 2 bars in my house, sometimes even change to gprs, so I would like to know if someone is selling one or where can I buy one, preferable with metod to pay by western union since I don't have paypal, any help would be great.
tks in advance greets
Have you tried experimenting with different radios?

I know for the wizard there was a solutions with aluminum foil perhaps that works for you.
Don't know if the thread is still there, but i think someone knows about it
my kaiser has bad reception too!
I have an external gsm antenna that i bought for my SPV e100 and c500, used it a couple of times worked very well, but then orange stuck a antenna up a few roads away from me which sorted the problem, id have to see if it is the same fitment for the kaiser, i assume it is as they all seem to have the standard gsm antenna port in the kaiser its next to the gps one. Its still in the original bag it came in and it as new if you want to buy it off me... i paid £30 for it.... offers.... if your interested in it ill dig it out and test it on my kaiser.. let me know
*EDIT: After closer inspection, the antenna i have only fits the gps connection on the kaiser, it does improve the gps a hell of a lot but it does not fit the gsm connection, so ill withdraw my sale*

Does anybody know what type of connector HTC uses for their handsets? I have a Vox and am looking to buy a pigtail so I can use my external antenna.
Some close up pictures of the connector would be very useful, thanks.

There's a close-up here.
Can anyone advise for sure what kind of connector this is? I've bought a 11dB antenna on ebay (believe it has an SMB connector), and need to find an adapter to try to connect it to my Kaiser.
I've checked the FCC report, Wikipedia, HTC, etc. but no joy.

Thats the GPS Connector. The phone Connector looks the same. But I gather it is not. I wish I could know for sure.
Thanks! I've read elsewhere that the GPS and Mobile connectors are the same on the TYTN II (at least, someone was able to use their GPS connector for both).
Still no joy on finding an adapter though.

thanks in advance.
FYI: the two small cables inside the diamond wich clip onto the PCB's, not external cables.
EDIT: am i on the right track as this connector seems the same? is the connectors calles "U.FL Mini" connector? would this connector be correct and fit?
thanks
Does nobody know then? lol... i'm at my wits end trying to find these cables never thought it would be this hard, they both snapped on me and now i dont have good GPS/WIFI reception. please help somebody...
bump, sorry... does anone have any to sell me then, why is it hard to find these, not even ebay has them google results in 0, really bugging me now, what other phones has these? somebody must know something... xda dev is the source of this stuff man, i even went as far as ringing HTC bu they cant tell me where to find them or what they are called, i apparently need to send it in, pfft for the cost of what lol.
