hi...i just bought an i-mate (upgraded from xda I)...i would just like to know how i would be able to connect to hot spots ie. starbucks and hotel using a wifi card....is there a specific one i need to buy? is it just plug n play? or is there a specific way to configure it? please please help....thanks
i searched, but there's sooo many wierd stuff to read. thanks in advanced people
Hi
there is only one type you should NOT BUY it is the Sandisk with memory - it definitely DOES NOT WORK
The normal Sandisk or the Socket are both working fine, each one also with the other's driver ... and that yes the Sandisk 256 Driver are as good as the latest Socket Driver (which I prefer) ...
Hope to have given you an idea
ciao

Sorry if its a well known question but havent used my uni for a while, running WM6 and the rom I have has a USD HDD program on it.
Is this possible???
Either for mem sticks etc or for proper HDD(USB)
I have used the search and am still none the wiser.
yeah, it should run everywhere, even under linux
the only problem is, that the uni only supports sd-cards up to 4gb
greetings
max
Universal doesn't have USB Host HW ...
But.......Yes ! You can find some special HDD like Asus WL-HDD( or clones) working perfect with Universal by WiFi connection .
I used it for Universal too
Thanks for the replies, thats all I needed to know, doesnt do my plans for the uni any good on account of the sd not working but never mind
Anybody know a way to get a Sandisk Connectplus +128 wifi CF card to work with WM5 ? Drivers for WM2003 are available from Sandisk but that's all. Some of the Linux users have gotten theirs to work with Prism 3 drivers, but it didn't work for me. I've got an ipaq hx4700 with onboard wifi. I have the card leftover from an older ipaq and would like to try to make an external antenna for it rather than messing with the onboard wifi. Thanks for any help.

This forum is for HTC manufactured devices but have you tried the 2003 drivers maybe they will work
Sorry, I thought this device was made by HTC because there's alot of posts about it on another thread. Anyway, I wasn't able to get it to work with the 2003 Sandisk drivers or with some HTC customized Prism drivers from another site. The card doesn't show up at all, not even a message like "unrecognized card" (the 128MB of built in flash on the card are available however)
I may be doing something wrong, my knowledge of these things is very limited. I removed the ipaq wireless manager shortcut .lnk file from the startup folder and made sure the onboard wifi was not active but, maybe other registry changes need to be made as well.?
BTW, out of curiosity I thought I would take a peek at the onboard wifi internals. Fairly simple removing the 4 screws and popping off the plastic corner antenna cover. I noticed what looks like a connector of some kind in the wifi area: not on the wifi daughterboard but just next to it. I don't know what it is, testing connector? JTAG? or maybe antenna? I'm not about to mess with my internal wifi hardware without knowing what the hell I'm doing but maybe others would be interested. Googleing about external wifi connector hacks on PDAs I only find one guy that did it with his Axim.

can you post a pic maybe i can help you with this more then the drivers
I'll try to post a pic later.
Meanwhile I haven't totally given up on this old card. I tried installing the official Sandisk 2003 drivers again and managed to get the ipaq to "see it"' but it won't connect: the LED on the card blinks but there are no networks being detected where there should be.
BTW, for any HTC owners, here's the link to the custom Sandisk drivers I tried earlier. Probably ancient for most but might help someone.

maybe its a typo but its not HPC its HTC (High Tech Computer Corp. and is the name of the manufacture) but maybe he meant Handheld PC (came before pocket pc look at link). So the drivers are i think even before WM2002.(thats cool that they are still around maybe all these forums will still be around in ten years or more)
and he edited the drivers so that the would work on a old device, dont see that, that much

hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone uses this WiFi add-in Card. i use an E-TEN G500 (WinMo 5.0), so i use this WiFi card. i am having a problem, and their support team doesn't really help.
i bought it about 7 months ago, and i worked great until about 2 months ago. the blinking green light blinks and flashes (on the card), but it doesn't seem to wanna find a hotspot, even if i am standing next to my wifi router at home. Now i remember using the driver provided on the website for best stability and reliability, but i am curious as to whether the driver on the website is different than the version on the CD that was packed with the card. Also, i was trying different drivers provided from website (the WM 2003 with WLAN utility that supposedly is compatable with WM 5, the WM 5 exclusive driver, & WM 5.0 exclusive driver). 1) Which driver am i supposed to use; & 2) Does anyone have any problems with This card like i do? Like i said, the card worksa as far as mechanics (blinking green light) but my device/WiFi card doesn't seem to read any hotspots available. it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can shed some light on this and if anyone has any recommendations to any other Mini SD WiFi Card as i can't seem to find another card like this. Thanks all
its the Mini SD card (SDW-822, even though the driver doesnt descriminate between the 820 and 822), not the regular sized one. i was also reading about a "modified E300 WiFi card driver" Where can i find one and how can i download it if its gonna solve my problems?
I bought htc and i have few problems so i hope that some one can help me.
I dunno how to connect my htc and pc with usb, how to send files from one cell phone to htc and how to find memory card (micro sd)
So i hope that some one can help me

Welcome to XDA-Dev
One step at a time with this one I think.
First, can we assume you have a USB lead/cable?
If you have and you have connected it between your phone and PC - what happens?
Mike
Did you get a manual with it as all this is covered in there. It REALLY helps to, at least, glance at the sections you're having problems with...
For memory card though, how big is it? If its bigger than 2Gb and, I'll assume you're running wm06, You need to either have upgraded to wm06 (as some versions weren't sdhc compatable) or flashed a cooked rom. Otherwise install this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58063&d=1194986892
It also helps things if you format the sd card fat32 before doing anything else as it makes life easier later.
To send files use bluetooth... Read on how to start it and pair with a device in your manual.
Cheers...
Firstly welcome to xda developers
try installing active sync, if you are using windows XP or Windows mobile device center if using vista then you can connect the phone to the pc via usb & or bluetooth
go here for either version
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx
finding a memory card isnt that difficult, to send files to the htc from another phone just bluetooth it over , but you need to switch bluetooth on first, obviously.
By the sounds of things ultramags69's advice is the best ,at least read the user manual before asking easy to find answers.
I would also try to explain in greater detail exactly what you are trying to do , then maybe you will get more precise instructions
hi people!
I am using Gene since last one year and one thing I miss a lot with this phone is the WIFI.... I see registry entries for WIFI but no UI for Settings.
I got 2 thoughts about it:
1. The WIFI hardware is present but the device driver is not installed: so if this is the case, can i get the device driver on internet ?
2. Before GENE i used IMATE KJam. and its dumped and not working now. i was thinking if it is at all possible to de-solder the WIFI devide from IMATE KJAM and solder it on GENE motherboard. If that is possible, can I have the steps with snapshots plssssssssss.
Think people, i have a feeling that this is possible! coz I saw that nothing is impossible for you guys on this forum! so lets make this possible!
PRady
About soldering stuff i dont know and i wont recommend, unless you have some spare money for another phone.
About Wifi hardware: No the hardware is not there. the registry entries represent the Windows Mobile's internal support for Wifi. You can get wifi using an external SDIO card. These cards come with their own drivers in form of cab files and these drivers automatically provide the required UI. For example, in my case, drivers of the card i use add a new tab in Network Adapters applet in settings.
@krazy_about_technology
Since u said u r using the card....could you tell me some details like manufacturer and price !! I jus can't seem to find the card anywhere...
Krazy!!!
Thanks for ur reply man!
I can spare money for another phone.. Could you please show me where to solder that Wifi card.. also pls show where to desolder from IMATE KJAM...
is there a new version of P3400 with WIFI?? If yes, can I have the motherboard layout plssssss
Thanks,
PRady

Hi Any luck with this?
Working!!!
I am still working on this budddy
I don't think it is possible to remove the wifi part of another phone and solder it to GENE motherboard, or to that matter to any other phone.
This will require the redesigning of the motherboard.

+1 for that. I also don't think thats possible, unless the gene Mobo has some future upgrade options. But looking at Mobile Cos, I sincerely doubt that they have ever heard of upgradability
hi I happened to read your post .. the card is called Spectec sdw 821..availaible on amazon for 40 usd
1 simple solution is replace the mobile with sm wifi enabled phone!! dat wont screw ur gene too!!
