I have heard conflicting information on this. I have heard that the XDA II can support a SDIO wi-fi card using the built-in SDIO slot.. I have also heard that the XDA II has a slot under the battery cover designed for a wi-fi module. Which one, or possibly both, are correct?
this post is being done on my xda over wireless lan using a 60 pound sandisk sd wifi card, much neater than the backpak, and its availabe now.
john
XDA or XDA II
Your XDA or XDA II with wifi? If its the XDA, with only an SD slot, I'd like to know!
No i am using a XDA 11, as you are right the XDA 1 dose not work with SDIO devices
John
Hey Applecom, where did you get the Sandisk SDIO Wifi card from, and how much did it cost?
Lee.
I got one at CompUSA. They cost $137.79 incl. Tax
But it wont work in my dang XDA. I will have to wait for XDA II
I am sure I heard someone say that there IS a card out there somewhere that will make this thing WiFi capable. I wish I knew who made it... and how they did it.
Now that McDonalds is offering WiFi for FREE, I need this!!!
Way too much!!
Try eBay shops - £57.95
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3056357831&category=449963
58 quid for the SDIO card sounds excellent but since it's coming from the US, if customs people nab it, VAT will be charged as well as a stupid customs charge of around 15-20 quid making it very similar to a UK price.
Anyone buying from that eBay shop get 'caught' by customs?
From the last 6 months i have been purchasing stuf from blueproton (ebay) i normally get about £250 of SD memory cards and recently some SD WiFi cards we use a $25 Fed Ex letter its always here 2 days after he posts Customes have not been intrested i have had 9 or 10 shipments.
He will use a $5 USPS envalope if you just have 1 SD WiFi Card i have also used them befor when having thing sent here to the UK and have also been lucky with customes, But when i have a "parcel" rather than a letter size envalope customes always seem to get it and charge me
John
Yup, same here, small packages have much more chance, I got hit for $50 last week when a friend sent 4 of those digitravelers to me so I could convert them for friends.
I read some reviews that the SD wifi cards were much slower than other wifi cards, something to do with SD cards not properly being designed to access speeds of upto 10Mb (not byte) per second.
Anyhow, pehaps you wouldnt need hi speed connections for your usage. There are some nice sandisk wifi cards out now, with combined storage and wifi support.

This site claims that there are problems with the sd card slot in the 2i - and the symptoms that they give seem very similar to the ones I am experiencing. Can anyone confirm or deny this? And if its true is there anyway of getting around it?
Thanks
http://www.digireader.com/view_blog.asp?blog_id=208&author_id=2
as i long user of the 2i I can say without a doubt there is a problem with the sd cards as i suffered for over 3 months or more of pure frustration and almost throwing the thing away .
but in the end it was down to the sd card speed ,it doesn't really matter what size you have but it's the speed of the card at the moment i am using a 512 transcend 80X card and it has been running perfectly for the past 4 months or so without any problems .there have been plenty people who have now tried the transcend card and found it to be well 1 of the best so i would recomend you buying 1 of these asap ,if you do a google you should find a place selling 1 of these but just make sure it's has a speed of 80x or else you will have the same problems ..also if you wish to get a bigger card the 1meg works okas well
Hmm, I can't say I'm at all happy with that. I have now borrowed a 512mb card and magically all my problems disappear. its the same make and model as my 1gb card so I can't see its a brand issue.
Are o2 aware of the problem? If they are then I think they're breaking the law by continuing to sell the thing.
Does the problem exist with the 2s as well? If not I might go back to o2 and insist they swap it over...
Thanks for your reply
Hi.
I've had an XDA IIi for a few months and had lots of problems with the phone freezing (especially with tomtom 5). The problems got noticeably worse when using "turbo" mode too.
I emailed tomtom for help with navigator and the strange locking up. After a month, they replied to me and said that the pda must use 80x cards or faster... i bought an 150x 2Gb card and haven't looked back...
The phone can now do it all... i use ttn5 with traffic addon whilst driving and use pocket music to play mp3s at the same time and i'm still able to answer the phone to accept calls...
the only problem i've had with a 2Gb SD-Card is that i can ONLY read/write it in the XDA IIi - no other PDA will touch it and no card reader will recognise it.

What brand is your card?
Having already sprung for a 1Gb card I'd hate to have to spend out again becasue of inadequacies in the xda hardware... however if it was an upgrade to 2Gb I might be able to better justify it.
Perhaps this info about card speeds should be posted in the FAQ so that new users have at least some warning of the 2i's problems with SD...
mine is an "a-data" myflash 2gb from here: www.emartbuy.com
£91.65 inc VAT
hope this helps you!

I would just like to say thanks for this topic, the two problems i've had with the PDA2 (XDAIIi) since i got it earlier this year have been fixed by taking out my 60 speed 1gb sd card.
problem 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=136972

Going to need to buy an SD card for my Exec soon, anyone have recommendations? From reading the forum I think the HighSpeed cards are no better in the Universal than standard cards. The speed only helps when used in a card reader on the PC, so the cheapest standard card is what I am looking for?
Merry Christmas to you all

I just bought a Transcend 4GB SD Card from :
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=17231&ft=D
Great product at a great price.
Arrived yesturday works great with my XDA EXEC with no problems.
should have bought it from ebay, 4gb for 150 uk pounds
Not really, the best deal I found on ebay for a Transcend 4GB was £168 including delivery from USA.
From OraLogic I got it for £174.50 + VAT including free std delivery.
As this was a corporate purchase I can claim the VAT back , so for £5.00 more I get to buy from a UK company a product with a warranty that is covered in the UK. Not to mention the quicker delivery as its local compared to coming from USA.
If you are referring to the Adata 4GB cards on ebay, I have three friends who bought those and 2 out of 3 of them have problems with using them with their XDA Exec's.
better split your sd card into 2gb+2gb.rather than buy a whole 4gb.
just for precaution and separate into 2 sd card more easy.for example 1 for data and program and another for music,photo,etc.
Best I can find without going via ebay is at Novatech, 1Gb SD for £31.41+vat, find it here...

Lucky for me its only down the road so I don't even have to pay for shipping, but if anyone finds better please post here, thanks

I only got my XDA Mini S yesterday, so I don't have any memory cards for it yet.
I kind of figured that as I'm going down the consolidation route (ie Phone, PDA, iPod into one device so I don't have to carry a rucksack with me everywhere!) I might as well get as much memory as possible, so I can stick a bunch of MP3's on there.
I can get 1gb for between £40 and £50 (GBP), but haven't seen many places selling 2gb.
I also wanted confirmation that the Wizard will actually recognise 2gb.
Any ideas on places in the UK that I can get a 2gb card from (assuming they work!)?
Hmm, just found this:
http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_2048mb_MOBY_001
It says it's compatible with the QTEK 9100 and T-Mobile Vario, so I assume this is the one to go for... Just a bit concerned that it's unbranded (I usually get Sandisk or Kingston :? )
Hi,
I use a 2GB mini-sd card in my MDA Vario - no problem, it works fine.
The card is unbranded and available at www.memoryworld.de for 125 euro.
Greetings, Newchurch
I got the one off of mobymemory - works a charm
Can't say the same for the miniSD > USB stick that they gave for free with it, though.
Sweet, looks like I'll be getting one of these then!
I'm really starting to like this device now I've joined this board...
When I first started using it out of the box, I had to reboot it every 10 minutes. It very nearly got returned to the shop!
Thanks for your help guys!
Yeah i bought a 1Gb miniSD mobymemory card, brillient! Cheeper and faster than my scandisk 1Gb mini SD, (found out when using tomtom its data accessing times are faster) And its like £1 for postage and got delivered the next day! brillient!
Sounds like im a promoter witht the site or summit but no, its actualy gud!
That's one of the reasons I got the mobymemory one... it's an SLC (single layer) rather than an MLC (guess), so it's a fair bit faster
Excellent, thanks for your comments.
I'll order one tomorrow!
Another vote for the moby memory one, I ordered mine on friday afternoon, and it arrived yesterday! Brilliant
It's definatly much faster transfering with a card reader rather than the phones connection though
Just be careful with the moby memory cards. They are very thin and fragile. I have one and it split when trying to remove it from the USB stick they supplied with it. Comparing the Moby card with Scandisk you can see that it's a lot more fragile and flexible than the Scandisk one.
I'm not sure I'll buy another because of this.
I don't think it's physically thinner than any other miniSD card, as that is a tight specification. The subtrate may be thinner, however - I haven't checked, nor do I particularly want to
That said... let's face it.. all of these cards are stupid-tiny, and they're getting tinier ( I made a comparison chart for tweakers.net a long time ago, see: http://www.pointzero.nl/dump/cards.jpg ). I'd say that any primarily plastic object that's only 1.2mm thick demands to be treated with respect
( If you go way back to the MMC cards - they were only 0.76mm thick while being very large - crazy! )
I second your notion about that card > USB reader they gave with it, though. First of all - mine doesn't work. Big deal. But second - it was nearly *impossible* to get the card out of the thing again. I definitely won't even bother to try and use it with this 2GB one even if it does magically start working.

You're probably right but the Scandisk card is definitely stiffer than the Moby one. Just warning people to be careful if they have the Moby card as it doesn't seem to be as robust in construction.
ordered one from mobymemory.com
I never recieved it.
no tracking ;-(
I like to get one!
As Mobymemory seems to ship everything in a manner where you have to sign for its receipt (well, I did anyway), they should be able to tell that you never received the package; short of them being lying scumbags
If they tell you that you did receive it, ask for a copy (scan, fax) of the release form. If they can't show it to you, they have no case, and you can take it up with your credit card issuer (if paid by credit card), or you can pursue other methods of getting the card / money back.
If they can show it to you, and it's not your signature, then try and figure out whose it is - family member, roommate, whatever, and take the issue up with them.
If it -is- your signature, then please seek professional help
Bah!
I ordered a 2Gb Moby card and (as usual) it turned up in a flash (geddit?). Excellent. Slapped it in the (supplied) adapter, slapped that in my card reader and hey Tesco! Not accessible. B*gger! So I booted up my (custom SD-enabled*) laptop and transferred all the data of onto the hard disk. Then I swapped the cards in the adapter and transferred all of that data off onto the 2Gb card. Wahey!
Great, except that the folders were called &*^&^%£ and )!(£(!")*(. Doh! Looks like my laptop reader couldn't address the card.
So I spent the extra £5 and the postage for a card reader and now you tell me that the card reader is too brutish for the card. Damn, damn and thrice damn!
(* My laptop has an SD card re-writer in it, but the catch is broken so I have to stretch an elastic band round the keybord to keep the card in!)
DM.
P.S. Do you think I'm addicted to parentheses ?
I ordered mine today and specified Special Delivery...
I'm hoping to have it tomorrow.
I took the risk and ordered a 1GB mini SD from mobymemory. Got it by recorded delivery the next day! Also the first time ever a retailer charged me the correct postage! (£1.20)
The card works fine and is not flimsy as someone commented earlier. It comes with a little adpater for card readers etc..
Good work fellas..
i also bought a 2GB card for the 9100 from MobyMemory because of this topic. arrived in 3 days (from UK to FR) and so far so good! 1950MB free out of the box (awesome!) and not flimsy or cheap feeling at all. use the adapter for photos direct to the DVD player and it works great! good price too.
thanks for the tip!

2GB Mini-SD from Moby Memory

First - Hi to everybody! It's my first post here...
(and unfortunately not last :wink: )
I'm new and I'm looking for some help, advice and independent opinions.
I've bought O2 XDA mini S yesterday, and today I'm looking for memory card...
I went through MobyMemory offer and I've found "High-Speed 2GB mini-SD Card HIGH SPEED Read - 9mb per sec, Write - 8mb per sec transfers" for only £64.99 - is it good price (as for today) or should I look for another shop / brand?
What are your opinions after few months of using MobyMemory mini-SD cards?
Any issues, broken/faulty cards? Are you still happy with this purchase?
Next few question marks - are these cards really noticeable faster than i.e "SanDisk 2GB mini-SD Card"? SanDisk is £10 cheaper... is the speed of the PDA impacted by the speed of memory card used (noticeable) or the difference is only when you need to transfer large amount of data to the card (from the PC for example)?
This one is (probably) very simply for you - What are the pros and cons of having one 2GB card or two 1GB each?
Using two cards should be more comfortable, of course as long as you did't lose one...
Is 1GB memory card enough for everyday use (2 full lenght films + few videos + 10 albums + some additional applications...)?
How much (audio / video) data I can fit on 1GB card?
And last but not least - I'm going to buy 17-in-1 card reader (MobyMemory special deal) to serve this card - is anybody using it, any suggestions, opinions?...
Sorry for so many questions
Thanks in advance
I have a 1gb and 2gb mobymemory cards. Highly recommended and faultless. I have the 1gb for a year and 2gb for a month. they are better than normal cards and are mono-density or something and fast. yes 64.99 is a good deal for 2gb got mine for 79.99.
Movies about 150-200 mb each, and music if compress at 64kps WMA about 2-3 mb each song so yes should be able to fit them on a 1gb card - I would prefer 2gb more room and more likely to lose if keep taking in and out if you have too cards.
Your choice though .
Welcome to the wizard ownera club - you will have many good hours fun with this great device.
Wondering what people's thoughts are on this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/High-Speed-2G...593065570QQcategoryZ18871QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It's not a 'big' brand and the price seems very cheap for a 2GB card.
John
After shipping it's about 20-25 quid cheaper than retail and it claims to be a 150x (22meg a second transfers card).
Only had my Wizard a week and took me a few days to actually find 2gb Mini-SD's in stock with a UK retailer.
I ended up with this:
http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_2048mb_MOBY_001
However, some of the card readers I have will not read the card via the provided SD adapter - I was warned of this and do have a newish card reader which does, as does the one in my laptop.
Works fine in the Wizard though and tbh speed to me is unimportant considering the speed of the devices processor.
If you get one and have success with it, please drop a note back.
I have seen the Mobymemory one, their price for the 1GB card seems unbeatable pretty much but I'm tempted by this 2GB card as I can get the postage cheaper using a Paypal code as well.
John
I had a Zynet SD card for my XDA2s. It worked beautifully, and continues to work in my digital camera.
I got A 'MyFlash' 2gb 60x mini-sd card off ebay last week. It took like 6 days tops to get here and works great, even in my tempermental in-built SD reader.
How much did you pay for the Myflash one?
Thanks for the feedback on Zynet, tempted to go for this now.
John
Came to about £80 including shipping and insurance
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7589600960&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
I remember reading somewhere that a higher speed SD card will drain the XDA battery faster.
If you're not looking for the fast cards, some reasonable prices here as well:

I've decided to go for a 1GB card for now, I can always buy another 1GB card so both my HTC devices can benefit from it.
John
4 gig cards are meant to start shipping this month.
OK - i know they will start at an unrealistic premium - but does anyone know if 4 gig (or more that that which is likely to be out by summer) will work in the wizard?
Seems cheap for a 2Gb memory card of any size. I'd recommend mymemory.co.uk for memory cards, and they have a 2Gb Sandisk MicroSD for £54.99.
Seems cheap to me, but sandisk's one of the best makes for memory cards.
i use the moby memory2gb minisd - 80ish quid delivered next day and works well
I think are more cheap at:

I have used them often and they offer a good service (based in the chanel islands). However they have been out of stock of the 2 gig cards for a while now.
They have a facility whereby you give them your email and they will contact you when the cards return to stock.

Incidentally, I have had only one memory card fail on me, and it was the sandisk 32 meg that came with the siemens SL45 as standard.
The SL45 seemed years before its time - it seems crazy to think there were phones with memory cards in 2000 and even now a minority have them.

If your primary usage for the card is for phone then I would suggest to go for class 4 sandisk 32 gb. You can get it around for $30 from amazon (try to get the one that amazon sells by itself just to be sure you do not get the fake sandisk).
How are you going to connect micro HDMI to galaxy 4g (are you talking about the original galaxy S 4g or S2)?
Just came here to post this deal. Just saw the email in my inbox.

Thanks for answering, yes original S4g. I have not seen micro HDMI before, sorry I assumed the TV out connector "micro USB is the same size but taking your Question, I assumed wrong.
Don't buy the lexar its got horrible reviews mostly relating to data corruption or failure. I got one during christmas lasted a week then died returned it, luckily at the time there was a special on the samsung microsdhc for 35$, awesome deal, have not has one problem. I've had many class 10's from various manufacturers and sizes never had a problem with any of them the way the lexar did. Google for reviews theres a large number of people that had the exact same problem. Stay away,wait for another deal if you need one urgently get the pny 32 class 10 which you can find for 42.99 around the net. Also what makes this sale even more ludacris is it's at that price at quite a few places including amazon etc.. I bet they wanna dump as much of their stock of those as possible.
