I have an XDA mini and a Sandisk SD WiFi card.
When I load the drivers and insert the card it works fine.
After about 20 minutes of use i disconnect and remove the card.
My issue is that when i re insert the card a couple of hours later or the next day the card will not initialize. I have to do a soft reset to get the card going again.
Anyone have any clues or ways to resolve this?????
That is true! It happened to me! But you dont need to soft reset your jam! You only have to go to the AP Browser of your card add again your access point and press apply and it will be fine! My sandisk wifi+256 works better with 1.06 than with 1.03! The good thing is that when you turn wireless off it wont turn off your bluetooth too as it used to do with version 1.03
what do you mean by AP browser?
Just click on the wifi Antenna located on the lower right of jam's screen and then click on AP Browser
The card does not initialize.....i don't get the antenna coming up. :?
i have the same problem
if i boot w/ another sd card, it doesn't recognize the wifi card
or after i switch a number of cards, same problem
works fine after soft reset tho
I have discovered the root of the problem and it seems that when i have 2 applications loaded i need to soft reset to get the wif going again. They programs are SPB Software house's GPRS monitor and weather applications. When i remove these the card works fine....as soon as they are installed again they kill my card.
I use both those programs (SPB pocket plus 2.1) and GPRS monitor and my card works fine all the time!
I use pocket plus 2.5.
I have done a hard reset and reloaded everything and the some thing occurs. I will try it again this evening and see how i go.
try 2.1! I had many problems with 2.5
the main reason for me using 2.5 as opposed to 2.1 is that it allows the integration of the gprs monitor and the weather into it tabs.
Without it the apps simply take up too much real estate on the screen.
This may be the cure to the card not initializing on a soft reset:

Kind of the same problem but with the built-in bluetooth.
I seem to be having problems with the SanDisk wifi card too.
I loaded the drivers from Sandisk, inserted the card and it appeared to work okay at first.
Later when I inserted the card all I have now is a pop up box "unable to connect to the wireless card Netcard. Is it inserted?" The card little red light does not illuminate at all.
I have done a soft reset, reloaded the drivers, and removed spb pocket plus 2.5. I still have however the spb GPRS monitor.
Short of a hard reset i am stuck.
Could the card be dead?
I have a MDA Compact with UK T-mobile ROM etc.
Thanks,
Mike.
I removed 2.5 and installed 2.1 and seems to work fine now.
Keeping in mind that i did a hard reset and reloaded all my software.
After a hard reset and no other software, still no joy
Phoned Sandisk technical support, and after half an hour of reloading drivers etc the conclusion was the card had died
So it is being returned for repair/replacement.
Interestingly Sandisk tech. said that the card would be discontinued shortly due to the number of pda's with built-in wifi. Also no drivers would be developed for WM2003 SE or any future software versions :evil:
The problem is when you use the phone application either incoming or outgoing, the wifi card drivers dont get initialized again so a soft reset is needed. The wifi drivers and phone appl drivers dont interact well with each other.
What i do is i kill the phone application using some taskmanger temporarily, insert the wifi card then you will see the led blinks on the wifi card (works most of the time) after which relaunch the phone application. So no reset needed.
I use my Sandisk WiFi everyday, and don't have the problem you describe (touchwood). I do all of the things you said, and have no problems. I use GPRS Monitor 2.3.0 too (constantly running).
I use driver v3.00.04. Have you tried a hard reset and progressive install of all your apps to see the cause? (yes, it is a pain)
Hi
A good few weeks back I had a problem with my wifi card. I own the O2 XDA Mini and the card is an SD one. It had been working fine, then all of a sudden it just stopped working. When I plugged it in, the screen came on but the LED on the card did not light, meaning it is not working.
Anyway, when the card is plugged in, everything freezes. I have been trying to get this sorted with the manufacturer who said hard reset and reinstall with a new driver.
Now, I was going to update my ROM so thought would do it all at the same time. The one thing I also had a problem with was all of a sudden my GPRS as well as my active sync comp connection did not work. Could not connect for unknown reason with GPRS and
"cannot start communications with the desktop computer. remote networking could not start due to a critical error (Error 608).
Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists, restart your device using the instructions provided by the manufacturer" comes up when I try to connect to comp.
Anyway, after the hard reset and ROM update, it worked, GPRS and activesync. Then I tried the new drivers for my wireless card and plugged it in. The same thing happened - screen froze and I lost my GPRS and active sync again!!
Now I have tried everything I know. I have been in contact with XDA but they have not replied yet.
Can anyone please help me as I dont want to do a hard reset again!
PS - I have tried uninstalling WLAN software, but it part fails due to one of the files being in use. I deleted that file manually but still no luck. I thought maybe comms is being taken up by the WLAN card and thats y i have other connection probs???
Thanks

Activesync just keeps trying to connect and is never successful. I have re-installed Activesync on my pc but it didn't help. Also, my work pc doesn't connect either. Definately a problem with my 8125. All has been well for a couple months and I have added no new software before the problem started. This problem also happened about two weeks after I got the phone and the only resolution was a hard reset. What a pain reinstalling all the software and settings I have now, it's customized just the way I like it. Anyone know how to re-install Activesync on JUST the phone or have any other ideas?
Try the latest activesync 4.2 beta and disable any firewalls if possible on the pc. On the device start activesync application and go to menu\options - delete pc that you are syncing with and try again.
Deleted profiles on both pcs installed beta on one. Still no connecting. Tried clicking SYNC on phone, pauses for a second then nada. No connection.
Have you deleted profiles on the device? and disable firewalls, and if you have a network adapter enable it because latest activesync treats the connection with device as a network - there are many posts on this issue do a search and read through some - seem to be many different factors involved.
First- Thanks for the replies Mark
I removed the PC profiles from my 8125. Also reinstalled Activesync 4.2 on my work pc. Nothing. Although this time I got an error message- Cannot find the file "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65257&clcid=0x409" (or one of its components) Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all libraries are available". Like I would know what that means. Anyways, no firewall enabled. Besides, this should not be happening, all of a sudden, on 2 separate pcs. That kinda rules out a pc problem. It has to be in the phone. That, and the fact that a hard reset fixed it last time. I'm thinking something corrupted in Activesync on the phone???
And searching on this forum is useless. I type in "connecting Activesync" and every post with either word shows up. 614 in just Wizard forums alone. Is there a way to search so that ONLY posts with both words show up? That way I can modify my wording until I find something useful. Search for any terms or use query as entered is ticked. On other forums you can just use quotation marks but not this one. It makes searching very difficult. ROB
Oh, and yes my network adapters are still enabled as always.
Yes best to search with the word AND cuts out all the other stuff i.e. activesync AND connection would do it. Yep sounds like it may be the device.
found couple of posts that seem to be relevant

Happy reading, the last post is about connecting activesync via bluetooth so maybe thats an option.
Thanks Mark. I think I may try the bluetooth connection when I get home tonight. Or I may just throw in the towel and do a hard reset. that worked last time. Plus, I can install the latest ROM upgrade. Shame theres no way to uninstall and reinstall Activesync on the phone. Seems that should do the trick (maybe). Just tried my friends 8125 on my work pc- syncs just fine. So much for all the pc fixes everyone seems to be trying.
I had the same problem with AS refusing to connect via usb or BT.
In the end i went & purchased (although the demo version would have done) Sprite backup. installed on the PC. Browsed to the install dir to find the cab file. copied to my wizard (wifi, or sd card reader etc).
Insatlled & backed up to SD card
Hard reset
restore
stop here if you're happy, if not
AS to sync calender & contacts to pc
hard reset
update ROM
AS contacts, cal, docs etc back to wizard
install SW & settings
BACKUP
Yep. Had to hard reset. All is working again. Crappy Activesync. What's up with this P.O.S. ? Trying to setup bluetooth now and the pc finds the phone but AS won't connect. The phone finds the pc (HomeCenter) but it shows no services available. I'm assuming that there should be some listed (maybe Activesync?) Guess I'll have to do some searching for bluetooth problems with AS now. Did I mention that AS is a P.O.S??? But you all knew that already. :lol:
Dont forget to open a port in you BT settings (on the pc) and tell AS (also on the pc) to accept connections on that port.
Then your wizard should be able to see the AS service on the pc (you initiate the sync from the phone, not the pc)
I have had this problem since day one, and continue to have it despite several (more than 15) hard resets, multiple ROMs, multiple pertnerships etc. I plug in my PPC USB, and it just says "connecting" forever. Every time, after plugging in my USB, I have to shut off my PPC, and turn it back on. Then my laptop finds and connects with my PPC, and syncs all my data like it should. If I do this more than 3 times, my laptop crashes and reboots. If anyone has figured out how to fix this, let me know.
I need help with backing up my contact's etc, I can't get a phone signal, I can with the sim card in another phone in the same room, The beam, inra red and bluetooth won't work either, is there any other way I can back my contacts, one last thing if I run the Task Manager, the phone locks up.
Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
Is the USB connection still functioning? If so try to sync. with Outlook on your PC. & try to install Sprite Backup, I believe it's available as cab file as well so no USB connection needed, just put it on your storage card & go! With it you can choose to backup every piece of data you like.
Good luck, M
My USB connection still works OK, can you advise where I can find Sprite Backup. Thanks
Sure http://www.spritesoftware.com/pocketpc.php, may the force be with you.
M
you can also just copy the pim.vol from the root drive of your device to your sd card.
or active sync your device and data.
spb backup should also work
I've been working all day and thought I would give it a try, guess what the actice sync has now died, I'm really getting feed up with phone.
Great news after messing around for couple hours finally got the active sync to work, all contact etc backed up. Thanks guys.
After installing Miri's rom 6.5.x my HD2 started crashing every time I connect it to the PC whether it is on ActiveSync or DiskDrive mode. It sometimes crashes right after I connect it , but most times after I disconnect it. I have installed Steve007 and SUperboy007 Elegance theme , Midomi , ManilaBirthday , Klaxon , NetRipper's KeypadLedControl , CorePlayer 1.3.6, AppToDate, JWMD Icon Changer, TouchPal, cleanRAM, TorchButton, Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch, Mosko.Mobi FIM , Jaguaralani HD2 Action Screen , SRS WOWHD , Resco Explorer and Resco Photo Manager , Xtask , SPB Backup and BSB Tweaks 1.6.
Could you please tell me what is wrong ?
I did hard reset after I flashed the rom.
Anybody?
your whole device or just audio manager?
dont know if this is of interest to you:

My problem is different.My whole device crashes and needs a soft reset after I disconnect it from the PC
Have you installed any of those to the storage card? Because the storage card is not available to the phone when you connect in file mode, though it should be ok in active sync mode. Most of those things should not be installed on storage card anyway.
Also, when you connect the phone it seems to me that it starts to prepare the pre-selected option right away, so if the last time you connected in file mode, this connection will be opened as soon as you connect, and if you change to another connection, the first connection is dropped and the other opened. To avoid this you could go into the usb settings and change connection mode before inserting the usb cable.

I've found my HD2 the same problem. As most of my apps were installed on SD card, when I connect the phone to PC, it's OK until I run an app that was installed on card while the phone remains connected to PC. Afterward, the phone freezes without any word.
Just a piece of my own experience...
Are there any new hints on this item?
My HD2 also freezes, as soon as I disconnect from USB, using hard disk mode. (When using USB to ActiveSync, there are no freezes).
this used to happen to me 2 months ago, but i cant rememeber what was eactly the reason, it may have been 'a theme, task manager or as i rememeber i suspected G profile '...
nothing of these is installed on my device (beside the OEM task manager).
Thanks anyway!
Just try to give it some time. Due to the fact that windows as well as several programs use some kinda autoplay options when external storage device are connected it may take some time until you can use your device. Mine freezes for seconds to one or two minutes until it can be used.
I remember when I made a rom and it didn't include a few oems in my kitchen, it caused freezing when I tried to access the sd card when connected to the computer
have you flashed a new rom to see if the rom isn't the problem?
I only flashed the new official Vodafone 1.72 ROM.
Exactly same kind of problem in HTC touch HD
I know I am discussing this in HTC touch HD2 forum, but I have HTC Touch HD and facing exactly same kind of problem. Have Upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5. Worked flawlessly for 5 months until now. Phone freezes in the Today screen right after connecting to computer thru USB and have to resurrect by resetting. I have Winterface UI installed. It used to work fine before. Please help.
I have noticed after many many efforts and after reading many subjects about the freezing issue, and after almost dumping the HD2 in the garbage, that the reason for this problem is the SD card 32 fat. I have switched a couple of 8GB cards and the system freeze starts within minutes. Then I copied every thing onto a 4G card 16fat and the mobile is flying since then.
Also avoid spb-traveler as it has a conflict with the device making it very slow and full of errors.
Still a problem...
I was excited when I saw that someone had posted on this subject, as I too am plagued by my phone crashing when its connected to USB to the pc. Unfortunately, the post was from a long time ago. I'm using the newest T-mobile rom 3.14.531.1 and it occurs EVERY time I plug the phone into my Windows 7 computer or my Mac...
I don't specifically believe that it's related to the SD card itself, because I can connect in Android via USB and this isn't a problem. I suppose, this could be an issue if it's just related to WM 6.5. My next option (my phone is not with me currently) is to remove the SD card and plug in the phone and see if the same thing happens. If it still occurs, I believe that would 100% rule out the SD card as the issue.

Well, I removed the SD card and when I plugged it into a computer it STILL acted weird. The symptoms seemed different though. First, I can't hit the start button. Well, I can physically touch it, but it does not respond at all. Nor does the start icon at the top take me to the start menu. Also, I tried to go into settings > Menu > All Settings to then turn off sense to see if that was the problem, and it won't even let me in to the 'all settings.'
I guess next step is to just do a hard reset in hopes that this fixes the problem, that or move to a custom rom. I just don't really want to do either because I have a lot of stuff I'd rather not tweak to get to where my phone is at again.
If anyone has any ideas, please help.
Thanks
Hey
Just turn the data sync options like fb and twitter to off. ANd you phone will be running in no time. JUST went to the same problem today and found turning data options off as the best solution.
