Does anyone know what the mini-usb connectors (as found on digital cameras,
mobile phones, etc, but not the 'square' type on printers) are properly called?
I'm trying to set up a GPRS connection via my V3 mobile so I can go online (to read
ql-users of course) when I'm without net access and not sure if the type of lead i have
is correct or not (the plugs fit, but looking at eBuyer website for example there seems
to be 4, 5 and 6-pin variants). I must have the wrong type as the PC reports a modem
hardware failure trying to connect GPRS through this Motorola V3, though looking at
various forums it seems to be a very common problem with Motorola phones that even if you
use the official Motorola drivers the PC will very often say "modem not
present" and the advice is always the same (reinstall) and of course that never
works.
It might just be the Motorola software drivers I suppose, but I'd like to check
in case the cable is a wrong type.
Asking the mobile phone company to send the browser message to set the GPRS
settings on my mobile seems to have knocked out its bluetooth too, another
worry.
They are USB-B connectors - alas not all the same however, as you
spotted in that they have different numbers of pins within the connector.
