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

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...
Nothing new here, but i am having problems with my Backpack and would like to find out from other backpack users if they are having problems. in order to be able to evalute the problems and possibly approach o2 could you please say where and when purchased, nature of problem, has this problem been from day 1 or did it develop.
thank you in advance, but i'm tearing my hair out here and i'd like to know the experiences of others before i go to o2 with what they may consider is a unique problem.

I have the backpack, bought it in may04. Don't use it much except maybe on holiday.
What problem are you having ?
Bought mine from O2 at same time as Xda II, works a treat although not used the CF slot must, mainly used with LCD projector for powerpoint.
Control 2 x XdaII & backpacks at work and haven't seen any problems.
If you post the exact problem I'll see if I can replicate it.
Bought mine from a PDA store in Kuala Lumpur about 4 months ago.
So far have experienced no problems.. Use the CF slot for memory cards and a Dell WiFi card. Use the video output with my Epson LCD projector.

backpack
My problem is i cannot get system to recognise any compact flash card i insert. first card i bought was fuji - i inserted the cf card and the system requested drivers! then i tried a bytestor same problem. i invested in a card reader and formatted the cards still the same problem. on one of the forums here i spotted a download 'bpinsert' i tried that and altho' it is a shortcut to a non-existent program the fuji card was recognised for a short while and i seemed to be able to access it, then the system froze and after a soft reset the problem started again. i have the part number, serial number and model number and am about to approach htc to see if i have a good product, if not i'll have to buy a new digital camera to use the 256mb flash cards and i'll sell the backpack on e-bay to some schmuck. (joking). the thing that is making my tear my hair out is i bought an sdio gps unit, as i was going to lose storage space i bought a backpack, now i find the sdio unit will not work without an update with autoroute 2004 and altho' the back pack does work with presentations - about three per year - i can't use the storage facility. oh well one lives and learns. still i could save some money on a new camera i know this guy............................
BackPack Problem
Hi,
I got my BackPack about 3 months ago, the reason I bought it was to do my powerpoint presentations using my Imate (xdaII). But the problem I found is that the Imate gets too slow. Have you also experienced the same problem?
Regarding the CF Card, it works fine, reading and writting, note that I heard 1st set of backpack manufactured early this year can not write to BackPacks!
One more problem, if you use XCPUScalar Softwar (to speed-up your PDA to 530 Mhz) then it can not recongnize the CF Card in the BackPack, you can not read or write either (acutally as if it does not exist). I guess this is due to the Speeding up software. If I enable it, then CF card is available and the Imate can recognize it.
Unkown card error
ianlake-
I've got the same problem - you're not alone. I am trying to use a 1 gig IBM microdrive and a 128MB noname card. Both, from time to time, ask for drivers for the "unknown card". What's worse is the error is sporadic and I can't rely on using the storage for anything important on the go. My desktop has a built-in reader (in which both cards work fine) and one of the main reasons I bought the backpack was to transfer files quickly from desktop to CF to I-mate. I haven't been able to find any tips in my searches but please keep me informed of any progress you've made.

This is certainly the answer to my problem, uninstalled XCPU Scalar and things are all OK, including some things that i hadn't really noticed.
I think i should contact XCPU Scalar and report the problem.
Thank you GoldenSands.

Most welcome "ianlake".. but does your Imate go very slow when you connect it to the projector and run a presentation? Even if it is connected to the monitor!
from what i've been able to read then when one display using the backpack the fps is limited to 1-2
which could cause it to seem pretty slow

Sorry, but what is "fps"??
The only reason I bought the BackPack is to run the presentations through my Imate, and I was unable to do so; due to the very low speed I get when it is connected to the projector. Actually it gets slow once I run IA Screen Mirror.
I got IA Screen Mirror Ver 2.01 (Build 15055)
Is any one aware about a newer version? and from where can we download it?
fps == frames pr second
as in how many pictures you get every second

yes, horribly slow, but by the time i get round to doing my presentations at the end of a boring lesson my students have gone to sleep - so no-one notices.

I use my backpack with a compact flash modem and I did'n face any problem with it. But after purchasing a sandisk connect plus, WiFi+128 MB card, the device is getting very very slow plus it is only recognizing the memory part and not the WiFi part.
Originally I wanted to use my i-mate with WiFi but nochances.
I even formated my device several times but the original driver is nor working.
Also after contacting sandisk directly I got no help!!!!!!
RE
FI, no overclocking programs like XCPUSCALAR etc work with backpack. The files in the CF card will not be recognized if overclocking progam is installed especially if you set the speed above the default speed setting. Also, GPS performance is erratic.
I've changed my backpace twice. Firstly, it was a faulty backpack that could not recognised my CF card after a few weeks of usage. The 2nd time was the backpack battery konks out after about a year of usage. Could be due to end-of-life of backpack battery. All were changed within the warranty period of the backpack.

Hi,
I'm so annoyed that i waited until now to get a Wifi card for my Orange M500 (UK Magician). By the time i got around to ordering one, they (Ebuyer SD PDS Wireless Lan Card Adapter 11MBPS) are discontinued
Does anyone else have any recomendations for compatible SD Wifi Cards that are still available?
I see that Ebuyer.com sell the Sandisk 256MB Wireless 802.11b Secure Digital Card for £72.84 inc VAT but is it compatible?
Futurity
There's no reason why it should not work. The memory should come in useful anyway.
I have the spectec one, very very small.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=121110
Works a treat.
Im also using the SPECTEC with no issues
SPECTEC 820 + Modified E300 Drivers: a winner combo !
I got 2 Sandisk SD wifi cards off eBay, cost just over £50 each inc postage, they work a treat, just had a look and the seller no longer trades You can still get them off eBay but you'll have to look into how good the seller is. Hope that helps.
I use the Sandisk 256mb+wifi -- works quite well.
