After reading many posts, I must ask, can you recommend on a WIFI card for the I Mate?
I understood that SanDisk WIFI card makes many problems.

i've not read that
what i have read is nobody ever getting the sandisk wifi sdram combo card working
The SanDisc WiFi card drivers are a problem for many people, but installing the drivers for the Socket WiFi card (same electronics inside) usually sorts things out.
Anyone managed to get the XDA II working with the scandisk wi-fi card? I know there's an issue with the scandisk combined 256mb combined wi-fi cards...
the original sandisk sd wifi card works fine with my Xda II, the newer version which has on board memory apparently has real problems.
the Combination Card + wifi IS NOT Recommened by O2 it apparently should NOT work this is just an XDA problem
What SD Wi-Fi card works with the 02 xda, i've read quite a bit about the SD card being a tad flakey
I've been using my SanDisk SDIO Wi-Fi card for a year, and I have encountered some glitches, but nothing really serious.
The best drivers for this are the Socket Communications drivers version 1.42E ( http://www.socketcom.com/support/support_wlan.asp?Type=SDIO ). It works way better than the SanDisk drivers which have not been updated for a long time already.
With regards to the SanDisk Combo SDIO 256+WiFi card, the problem is the ability of Windows Mobile to address the funtion of both the wifi and the memory module at the same time. This should have been resolved in the SE version of Windows Mobile 2003, but I have not seen an update from the vendor specifically designed for WM2003SE.
Another SDIO Wi-Fi option is the AmbiCom card ( http://www.ambicom.com/products/wave2net/wl11-sd.html ), I have tried it and it works, but I was not able to test it extensively.
I got a Socket Wifi card. I had constant problems connecting to the network though the latest drivers seemed to resolve the problem. But now the card seems to have stopped working after 5 months. I would still would recommend a Socket card since there's not much choice, the only other one is from Pretec. The cards aren't physically the most robust so you have to handle them with care. Storing it in a wallet probably didn't help in my case.
Sometimes soft-reset needed on my XDAII
The only problem I have is that sometimes, when I am some 20 m from my wi-fi ADSL modem, I have to soft-reset my XDAII (newest ROM) to have the Sandiosk (without memory) recognised.

Okay - so I thought it was a good idea to buy a combo card, not realising that this wasn't supported, when the standard WiFi-only card from SanDisk was... I'm not normally a compulsive buyer - that's what I get!!!
Has anybody come up with a work-around yet? I can't even get the WiFi part working at the moment, never mind the memory... I've got as far as being able to interrogate the card (but no AP browser) and haven't been able to format the memory, or connect to an AP (even though the little LED goes solid green). I wondered whether I'd see any improvement if I updated my ROM from 1.60WWE to 1.72WWE?
Thanks
The 256+WIFI is not supported by the XDAII
Sorry to break this to you but the card simply won't work. Apparently the XDA2 does not have the right internal drivers available to support the dual cards.
I am afraid that your ownly option is to return the card and buy separate memory and wifi cards.
Has anyone got these working togther yet? If i use the san disk driver, the XDA II hangs when i try to scan for AP's, the socketcom driver just ignores the card, i have yet to try it with the latest 02 rom, but i dont hold out much hope, i cant even get it to format the storage card properly
cheers

Sorry, i seem to have put this in the wrong forum, will someone move it into the acessories for me (unless its more appropriate here)
as far as im aware you carnt use the these with the xdaII unless you disable the storage card, i have the wificard on its own and it works a treat (with the new 02 rom) .
How do you disable the storage? Does the socket verson of this card work?
sorry i didnt read it i just noticed bits and bobs as i have just the wifi with no memmory i got some bad news for you

Nevermind, i just swapped it for a wifi card and enough money to buy a 256meg SD card
I've been using it for a day now and I have started to see problems with it loosing directories overtime, re-inserting the card does correct it. Also I never had any problems with my sandisk 2GB card.
SAme problem here. I'm back to the 2Gb card....
Hoping the next htc rom update will address these mini sd problem, because it seems there are other types of cards having similar problems too.
Hello
As I appear to have lost the wifi functionality on my Exec I am considering using one of the SD card Wifi adapters.
Does anyone have any experience of using these - either with an Exec or another device? I know it will be a nuisance swapping the SD card all the time, but it will at least give me my wifi back!
Any particular brands I should go for or avoid? Any information, help or guidance gratefully received.
Thanks
Ian
Have you tried backing up your data and hard rebooting? Also if you're inclined to take you device apart, you could check for a loose connection for the wifi antenna. The service manual is on the ftp site, link is on the wiki site I believe.
sandisk 256mb + wifi, storage and wifi, works a treat
This is now my 3rd micro sd card that stops working.
In one year 3 cards stopped working 1 with blackstone and 2 with Leo.
What is wrong with this type of cards. Is it normal that they break so often????
Any tools you recommend to let them go live again (the card is totally unrecognized by the LEO)
Now I put the microSD card with adapter on computer, and it reads it but is very very slow. Any software tool recommended?
p.s. trying now to scan/fix/reformat and so on
many users are reporting that hd2 are corrupting memory card. mine too was corrupted. the problem is with hd2 itself. i was using sandisk 8gb in xperia x1 for 3 years without having any problem. my card lasted only 1 week in the hd2
it most definatley seems to be a problem, in which the HD2 is making memory cards dead. Regardless of their Size, Class and Brand

any user got this problem from other brand than sandisk?
yeah, am having the same problem here. when i try to copy data onto the card from my PC, it takes ages and then when i pop it into my HD2, it doesnt read the files. i have formatted the card over and over again. i have just purchased another 16gb card. i will let you know if i encounter the same problem again.
I haven't suffered a card failure in my HD2 yet but have with other phones and iPAQs. SanDisk and Lexar replaced the cards in question but didn't say what had happened to them.
I have had success recovering cards with Rescue Disk Pro but most failures like this cannot be fixed.
Ive been using the Sandisk 16gb mobile ultra class 4 card on my Leo and its been perfect since i bought it, fast and realible. Works just as well on my HD 1.
mine 16gb works like a charm.
p.s. flash cards tend to get corrupted if you dont use "eject" feature. at least sometimes it had happend that, not "ejecting" the usb flash, would result in complete data loss./

You are completely right, ive had a couple of incidents with my HTC HD and HTC HERO, where by altering the data of the sd card while it was out of the phone, it would corrup the information on the device, and not let me install any new programs, hard reset :S andd on my Hero constant safe mode :S
Anywho, Flunik is correct it would be much safer to eject safely from the computer, before, it might just save ou those sd cards.
I noticed that my card wouldn't work properly when it was formatted on a PC!
If I let the Leo format the card it runs fine!!
