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
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.

So I have a 2gb card in my HD2 right now while running live and according to my sync with my computer, i have .16 gigs left on it.
Isn't there memory onboard the HD2? I know that WP7 uses the memory from the card, but i would at least think it would use some of the memory from the HD2. Do I need to go buy a larger card? I mean I hate to spend $20 on a card if I don't need to. Right now im at the point where I cannot even transfer a photo.

WP7 in it's present incarnation only recognizes and uses 512MB of the the HD2's 1GB so you need a larger SD card if you have one. What happened to your factory SD that came with the HD2...I believe it was a 4GB microSD?
I got this phone for free, so im using an old sd card i had laying around. im gonna probably just go to radio shack while they are having this sale to get the 16g scan disk.
Here is a question. In my sync, it says the capacity on my card is .16g, I had android on there before. Is android still on there? If so, is there a way to remove it? i want to make sure i am getting all the memory out of my card

WP7 installation is supposed to reformat your SD card. In Zune, under view settings or one of the lists of what you can you do with your phone, there is a way to view how much memory you have to play with and also be able to re-allocate memory for specific uses. Check it out.

I cant use zune since i have an Apple iMac. Im using the windows phone 7 connector software off the windows site. It supposedly is the zune version for mac. I just find it hard to believe that ONLY the rom is taking up 2gb of space.
OK, very interesting senerio here. I took out SD card and booted up the phone. The phone actually loaded into windows just fine. Not only that, my wifi was detected. But with the SD card in, no wifi. My SD card must not work

yeah that is correct, your SD card hasnt been recognised at the initial setup, you need to try one of two things, try formatting the card in a digital camera (to be honest even this isnt a great idea) or two, you need a new SD card
SD cards even within the same brands and models may or may not work, some will not install at all, others will install but with issues, wifi, random reboots, lagging, to name a few.
The reason i mention the formating isnt an ideal solution is because, yes it may work, but the underlying issue of the card not originally working is still there, all you have done is moved the bar a bit, the card its self may still generate errors.

Well, I have tried the 3, 2g SD cards I had from getting phones. I also went and bought a $30 SD card and it did not work, so I returned it and got a different $30 SD card, which also did not work.
I am getting pretty fed up.
Does anyone have a spare SD card, that they know works that they want to sell/give me? I don't care the size, i just want to be able to load peoples pictures into the phone..
I just hate wasting my money on cards that don't seem to work

First of all, since you live in Trinity, it would be nice if you knew how to writer proper sentence to get your question across.
Secondly, why you're spending $30 for an SD card is beyond me.
Third, you need to consider the brand and speed of the SD cards you are supposedly purchasing. Are you buying a brand from a reputable manufacturer and are you buying a card with sufficient speed for WP7? I would recommend at a minimum a Class 4 card (Class 6 highly suggested). Also, a 2GB card probably won't buy you anything on WP7 since WP7 on an HD2 uses the SD card a the primary source of working memory. Thus, at a bare minimum a 4GB card is recommended.
And as most of the posting on the forum have indicated, the SD card issue on the HD2 is a hit and miss affair. And I really do hope you have the SD card in the phone when you install WP7, otherwise, no amount of changing will work.

i would highly NOT recomend a class 6 card, there is less chance of that working.
The class ratings define sustained sequential speed, WP7 doesnt need that, it needs high random speeds, the two are not always compatible, go for a class 2 or 4 card and you are more LIKELY to get a card that works, as teh above poster mentioned, it is hit or miss and there is no compatible list, there is apparently a AT&T card branded for WP7, good luck finding a place that sells that outside of an actual shop and expect to pay a premium for it.

Yes I have installed WP7 with the SD card in. First with the 2g card that came with my HD2, then with a Scandisk 4g one, and then with a $30 Kingston 16g one.
Honestly, im going to radioshack tomorrow and going to buy a 4g kingston class 4 one. In the sd card forum it says it works. So we will see.

did you honestly read those threads? there isnt any 100% compatible cards, all these, "confirmed working cards" threads are about as confirmed as the paper its been wrote on. Buy what you can afford, because the only way you are getting a "confirmed" card is if someone has actually tried it and has given it to you. Also its worth noting that getting it installed on the card is only half the battle, if WP7 has the slightest issue with thecard it it can course several different issues.
As i said, its very much luck if you can get it working, it absolutely flys and is super smooth if you can get it perfect
