I know there are lots of conflicting answers to the bluetooth and WiFi included in the XDA II but dose anyone know if they are looking to so replacement rear covers with WiFi built in and will connect to the socket behind the rear cover, Most people are saying use SDIO WiFi cards well thats fine and probley cheaper that a genuine built in (added-on) one but is the SD slot still on the bottom or on the top like the ipaq 5450 only a SD card sticking from the bottom of the device is more likeley to get damaged

Hi
Just installed a Dual sim card in my XDA2.
I bought a "King of Double card" the other day and it seems to be working fine.
I can jump between sim cards by turning the flight mode on and off
I would like to know if anyone has had any bad experiences with these type of cards?
Hope there is no long-term damage... :!:
Hi Frogger,
I have had the same dual sim card for some months now. All is great. No problems at all.
Have fun.
Frogger / Quenmzar: What 'model' of 'king of double card' dual sim is it you ordered.
On ebay there are about two sellers of 'king of double card'. The quality of those dual sim adapters is good, but one need to specify the 'model'.
(and XDAII/MDAII/iMate/Qtek 2020 is not listed).
Until now I did not get any useable feedback from the sellers other than buying a ghost-adapter for which you will have to cut sim's (which is something I do not want to do.
I can't see where there is any room to fit these in an XDAII? How do you manage to squeeze it in?
This is the dual SIM I actually bought. If you put it UNDER the battery it fits ok. Bit of a squeeze but works just fine.

I know of the mobileplace.co.uk dual sim. It costs GBP 10
The king of double card costs around USD 6
Now you know my motivation to find out the type of 'king of double card' I need . . . .
Dual sim on XDA2
This is how the Dual sim card is installed on my XDA2
Dual SIM Card
I recently purchased the dual sim card holder from mobileplace.co.uk for GBP12. They shipped me the king of double card, so I suppose the difference in price between ebay and mobileplace.co.uk is the very fast and good service I got from mobileplace.co.uk. However, after a few weeks my XDAII started to run slowly and then the other night went dead. A hard reset fixed the problem but I suspect it had something to do with the adaptor. Also each time I would take the back cover off the unit, even with the main battery still in, it does a hard reset. I don't know if other people experience. I really did enjoy using the adaptor but have taken it out for now
Hi, i've been looking for this here in the Philippines but I couldn't find one that is for XDA II. Are there really ones made for XDA II or you're just using the one from other phone models? I tried using the Dual SIM (King of double card) for nokia but it doesn't work, it won't detect the SIM and the cover cant even b closed although the SIM slot fits fine.
I bought one off eBay at the beginning of October. The model is described as
6220/6310i/7250/8310/T230/T68i DUAL SIM CARD
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had to tell them what device it was for and I told them XDA II.
It works fine - no problems yet.
I installed it much the same way as seen in the picture in frogger's post above. It's a bit tricky - I needed to feed the flat cable in front of the battery, avoiding the battery connector, then, with the SIMS installed, bend it down flat on top of the battery. Its a bit of a squeeze to get the back cover on, but it will go.
I've got a similar one. The ribbon cable is actually quite strong. I made a 45 degree crease so that the ribbon bends through 90 degrees and folds over the top of the battery ( ithink thats what is pictured above). Only downside is that the rear case needs to flex a bit, and doesn't quite fit flush at the top, allowing some dust in.
I've got 1 sim card with 2 lines. What I have to do is different. I have to go to programs/ sim tool kit/ my lines/ switch lines.
Is there any software around that would give me the same functionality as you guys have? just turning the flight mode on and off? Is there any program that creates macros for this particular function at the press of a button?
Qtek9090 and Dual Sim
Does anyone know whether there is a Dual Sim card for the Qtek 9090.
Cookiem
It will be just a case of trying.
Can you post a picture of the location of the SIM slot location in the battery compartment of the 9090?
Maybe I can give you some advice then.
Personally I prefer the King of Double card dual sim adapters by saintjoy_03 on eBay: cheap, quick, reliable. But you have to specify the correct model as they dont know the HTC devices.
i use this one for some time now
but not for the faintharted cause your sim card has to chopped
anyways nowadays they got 16 in one and so on sim adaptors.
ah well still, searching for a way to use them both at the same time!
tip anyone ?
oh yeah addition: you do get some sort of adaptor in which you can place your downsized simcard. so it can be used in seperately if needed...
dear all
i want to purchase the sandisk wifi+256mb combo sd card but my xda2 case will not accomodate the extra length of the wifi/memory sd card.. is there a case that's designed to accomodate the extra length of this card?
please advise!!
Thanks
Hawk
Ehm
Don't buy the combo card.... it isn't compatible with the MDA II, and is doesn't work.......
And if you buy the Wi-Fi only card...
The proporta Alu case works with the card inserted, but it gives you worst reception
I have read on this forum about alu cases evolution with windows that lets you see who is calling... I would go for those...
Regards,
Chris
hey chris..thanks
it's good i read about the incompatiblity of the wifi combo card with xda 2.. so i don't buy it..
i'l go forthe wifi only card.. ARE THERE ANY OTHER OPTIONS FOR LEATHER CASES that can fit the extra length, i don't like aluminum cases..!!
thanks..
hawk
the new plastic case have a hole on the top of it
but of cause it will not protect the card from breaking that way
Check out the pictures I posted right at the end of the following thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10078&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
This case does not offer additional protection to the card while inserted but at least allows you to carry the card with you where ever you go.
I've been reading a lot about the Sandisk wifi card being unreliable with the XDA II, and on my hunt for a wifi card i've come across this from
Ambicom:http://www.ambicom.com/products/wave2net/wl11-sd.html
Has anybody had any experiences with it, good or bad, as it seems like a reasonable card as it's priced at just over £40.#
Thanks
as described here many of the sdio wifi cards use the same hardware
and can use the same drivers and many people use the sandisk with the socket driver and have good results with it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14929
it could be that the card you talk about is the same hardware
Has anyone tried this card with the socket drivers and does it use the same sys chipset?
Hi.
I have tried to make two different WiFi SDIO cards work in my Qtek S100 now with no success despite following all advice on these forums and trying many different drivers etc.
My suspicion is that my S100 has a hardware fault and cannot read from the SDIO slot (although MMC cards work fine).
Does anyone know whether there is a way of checking this hypothesis?
Cheers,
Tom
Solved it!
The extra pin that SDIO uses had got pushed down. Use of cocktail stick to bend it back again solved the problem...
The answer to "is there an SDIO test" is yes - insert the card when the device is on standby. If the screen lights up, it's seeing the card.
Tom
Hmm... I sort of have the same problem. I got my new Wifi card today (PocketGear, or Spected mini card) and used it for 10 minutes. I took it out to replace my SD card, the screen lit up but nothing is recognising. Storage card doesn't appear and phone things nothing's connected when the Wifi card is in. Not good!
I'll check the pins when I get home, but since the screen is lighting up I'm not sure about that,
Any ideas, people?
Ok, well it seems it's fixed. 3 hard resets in 10 minutes fixed the issue! Good ole Microsoft, making nice and sturdy operating systems!
Does anybody know of a WORKING internal GPS Module for the Prophet ? I'm talking about SDIO at most, but preferably some kind of internal extension board. I'm guessing everybody has had enough with carying around a bulky bluetooth gps receiver.
ya! that would be very nice...
No such thing, and not going to happen.
I am not quite sure about SDIO (though I never hear of one) but there is no such thing as "internal extension cards" for Prophet or any other WM device.
Their mother boards come as a closed unit and there are no connectors / slots for any hardware other then what is in the specs.
This is not a PC and the OEM never attended for people to take these things apart.
sdio
the wifi nic for the prophet is actually a SDIO extension board. not as in a physical board per say but as in the way it interfaces with the pda mb. the sd slot for the prophet i know that it is sdio compatible, what i don't know is if it supports the standard necessary for this one, for instance: http://www.globalsat.com.tw/eng/product_detail_00000053.htm
Actually the problem with that model is not the standard - they stated SDIO so no reason it wouldn't work, except they don't claim to support WM 5.
GPS basically throws ASCII strings to a serial port, but a card using SDIO would probably need a driver to be properly recognized by the OS and WM 2003 driver is more than likely not to work for WM 5.
On a side note: it is considerate of them to provide memory to replace the storage card who's place they are taking. (though this will create a problem with nav apps that lock on SD serial).
