I got a SandDisk SD wifi with no memory that I use with my I-mate, or let me say I used to use , I've upgraded yesterday to wm2003se and installed the latest driver availble on sandisk website (Oct 03) and till now I couldn't connect to the access point...
Any help is apreciated.
Regards,
anyone please ??
RE
Hi!
Is I-Mate the equivalent of O2 XDA II? If yes, then I might have the answer
I was also having problem with my SANDISK SDIO WiFI card and my O2 XDA II with WM2003SE all these while since the upgrade until JUST NOW.
By a stroke of luck I manage to coneect it to my home DLINK router.
Go to START -> SETTINGS -> CONNECTIONS ->NETWORK CARDS -> NETWORK ADAPTERS -> Change the 'My network card connects to :' WORK (not internet)
Use cable to activesync your PPC to your Desktop PC making sure that the connection is there. Insert your WiFi card and see whether it connects. If not, de-active activesync, take out your PPC and soft reset with the WiFi card in place. Put it back into your cradle and allow activesync to proceed and see whether your card connects.
See whether this procedure works
thanks for your reply,
I tried what you have suggested with no luck :?
My network card tries to associate with no success
thanks anyway
RE
ArcticCat,
Sorry to mention. I was also playing around with this freeware, Hitchhiker, then and was connected. After which I deleted Hitchhiker.
Here,
http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/
Try connecting via Hitchhiker and see whther it connects. Make sure you follow my previous procedure too.
thanks again for you reply but no success either
let me ask some question
1) You have a SandDisk SD I/O Wifi with no memory ??
2) what drivers are u using for it?
3) you have wm2003se installed
4) what was the problem before?
I am seeing the AP but cannot associate to it.... same thing with you?
Regards

Answers
1) I'm using SANDISK SDIO WiFi card without memory
2) I'm using SOCKET WLAN Tools Mobile Edition v2.01. Get it from Socket Communications
3) Yes, I've WM2003SE installed on my O2 XDA II
4) Same problem like yours, previously for a long time till last night. Can associate but cannot connect.
I'm using ActiveSync v3.8
I suggest you just play around with Hitchhiker and my procedure for a while. Reset and disconnect/connect activesync if you require. FI, Hitchhiker cannot connect too in my case.
Good luck
Now we have the same configuration with the only difference that I am still not able to connect :?
I didn't quite understood what do u want me to do with ActiveSync
thanks once more
RE
ArcticCat,
Did you get your SDIO WiFi driver here:-
http://www.socketcom.com/support/support_wlan.asp?Type=SDIO
The one for WM2003
Yes I did... NO luck today neither
RE
If you're able to get a copy of the new Socket WiFi Companion which is not released on its website yet you can give a try.
were u able to get it?? if yes can you tell me where from ?
thanks
RE
Can you pm your email address to me and I'll email to you.
However, use at your own risk as I've NOT try it yet

I just got my Sandisk wifi card, installed the newest driver from their site and away it went. The problem is that the AP browser tab doesn't show. If you tap on the wifi icon at the bottom of the screen that option is greyed out. Any ideas on how to get it to be "available"?
BTW I had some difficulty getting WEP to work with me SMC Barricade 2804WBR and eventually manually entered the key on my i-mate and the Barricade. Works perfectly now!
Kind regards

SDwifi sandisk with XDA II
I think that the best tool and driver for XDA II now from Socket Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCKT), the Mobile Connection(TM) Company 16th.Sep.2004
"This is an updated driver and utility for Windows Mobile 2003 that includes Socket WLAN Tools Mobile Edition, a new user-friendly utility. Also supports WPA on WM 2003 Second Edition as well as on some ROM updates to the original WM 2003. Installs using the standard ActiveSync connection. Please view the release notes within the .exe file."
For my MDA II new Socket driver much better than sandisk' driver 10th.Oct.2004
Van
are you using the Sandisk card with the Socket driver?
Kind regards
Alan
Well I installed the Socket driver and it worked perfectly paricularly when turning my XDA on and off. It reconnects beautifully not like the Sandisk driver which often required a soft reset!!
Thanks for the advice.
Kind regards
Alan
Hi Alan
So did you uninstall your SanDisk driver first, before loading up the Socket driver, or did you leave them both running? I'm trying to get my SanDisk WiFi + 256M to work (at least the WiFi part, if not the memory) but am getting nowhere...
Thanks for any thoughts you might have...

SanDislk Wi-Fi
HI!
I've been using my Wi-Fi card for a few months, but results are so poor, I'm about to quit: XDA-II Hangs, access points not showing, "no card present", etc.
I've got to a point where I'm thinking my card is not working properly, but there is no pattern in this behaviour, only increasing difficulties for Connecting, so I'm a bit unsure about asking the Technical service.
Any way to check the card? Or any help about it?
I did uninstall and do a soft reset. When I installed the Socket driver it worked straight off.
Good Luck
Alan

Does it work with sandisk 256+wifi card?
Hi.
I have bought a c-guys wifi sd card and it all works fine (shows as connected, etc) BUT whenever I try to browse to a page in Pocket IE or send/receive pop email the XDA tries to connect using GPRS. I have looked at the connection settings but cannot see anything obvious to change.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
G
Hi,
If you don't use the GPRS connection, try deleting it from the options.
As a default the device goes for those connection settings first.
Might be advisable to make a note of the settings first, just in case you want to use the facility later...
Cheers
Thanks for that, but I do use GPRS too.
How did you get the c-guys card working with wm5? My MDA compact II doesn't work with the c-guys card!
Just for once, I have a cheap SD Wifi card that works well in my MDA Compact! I have no connection with Ebuyer, just pointing out a cheap card for the Magician, other cards are more than twice the price! -Joe

Been thinking of one of these for a while for when travelling and that price its a must. Already on it way thanks and thanks also for the instructions and suggestions,
M.
yep.. ordered one for my to-be phone!
waiting for both my s110 and the el-cheapo sd wifi to arrive next week =)
started reading for software reviews aswell...
what drivers do you recommend using with this sd wifi card?
Drivers
Hi,
This was against the first reviewer on eBuyer for the WIFI card, think it will help. Now to look into this extended ROM hack!!!!
M.
The phone runs \"Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition\", and the card worked straight out of the box once drivers installed. However, \"worked\" is a difficult issue. The card did exactly what it\'s supposed to. BTW - the drivers include a tool to scan the local area for wifi, so it\'ll be useful for finding open connections in coffee shops etc, no other tools needed. Shows signal strength, WEP, data rate etc, most of what you\'ll need.
As I said, the card does what it says on the tin, found an open network and connected to it no problem. However, setting up the Pocket PC to use the connections can be tricky, so have a look at this site http://wifi.aximsite.com/wifi_net.html
Basically, you have to use your \"Work\" connection, and tell the PPC not to use proxies. After some trial and eror, got it all working perfectly, although I blame Microsoft, not the card for the difficulties in figuring out the Networking Settings.
Next ActiveSync: follow this page
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/bowman_september24.mspx
Basically, in your \"network card\" settings, choose wlan adaptor, and then \"Name servers\" tab, and in WINS enter the IP address of your host (desktop) computer that you want to sync with. Ensure you have ethernet syncing enabled on the desktop, and then open activesync on the PPC to sync through the air
If you have a Magician, I recommend doing the \"extended ROM\" hack to give yourself 27mb of \"storage\", and stick all your browser goodies in there so that you can remove your storage card and still have access to programs installed.
Cheap Wifi Card mini-review
Just to comment on latts post, I honestly do nothing but leave defaults on for browsing (connect using Work Network being the only change). I have never had to alter anything for network Activesync in terms of nameservers etc, just ticked the box on the A/sync page.
My mini review:
Activesync over Wifi is much more reliable than Bluetooth, 100% reliability so far
Wifi connection attempts to take place as soon as the card is inserted, I have to manually choose my home network, but the WiFi utility is easy to use and accesses my protected network (SSID hidden, MAC access control & WEP encryption) without any dramas.
The card is quite small, jutting out about 10mm, which isn't as bad as it sounds (remembering my Palmone card!). Power drain is not nearly as bad as I expected either.
Overall, a bargain card that *just works*. Recommended.
Joe
latts - that's my review
I also use blutetooth network - cheaper at £6, but not as fast. But works well enough. But wifi browsing is great on the street!
V
Good one Vijay, hope you didn't think I was taking your glory. :wink:
It works
Hi,
Received the WIFI card last week but just picked it up this weekend. Very small (only about 5mm sticking out of the top) and very easy to use.
I installed the driver, the utility (as per instructions) stuck the card in and it worked, brilliant.
Going to try Skype out tonight but mail etc. works a dream.
If only everything in life was as easy,
Thx,
M.
Internet as apposed to Work connection
Hi,
Just one question for you lads, you mention that when you use the WIFI card you should connect through the WORK connection, why is that?
It seems when I connected mine I either - or it automatically - selected the Internet connection rather than the work connection. It works fine for downloading mail and internet however I noticed a few voice problems on Skype which I am putting down at the moment to Skype version 1.1.066
Anyway, just wondered why Work. I have two connections set-up on my QTEK:
1. Internet - for mail and surfing
2. Work - For MMS
If I use the internet connection - as I am - for WIFI then While the card is in I am still free to use the MMS connection which I don't suppose I could use via WIFI, correct?
Any help or answers to these questions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
M. :lol:
Any other place I can get this card for a reasonable price that does ship internationally?
I need it shipped to Holland.
Re: Internet as apposed to Work connection
Hi Latts,
I've just read your posting about your wifi card and using skype with it. I've got a SPV M500 and am also thinking of getting this Wifi card. The main reason for this is that the Bluetooth just doesn't have the bandwidth for Skype or the open standatd VoIP SIP. I've been waiting for a positive Skype of Softphone SIP test before buying this wifi card though. I was wondering what skype problems you where experiencing. I can then compare them to my USB and bluetooth Skype experiences (well i'll have to try it again to compare) and see if its a software bug or a bandwidth issue.
In case you need it, i'm sending you the X-Tem softphone (SIP). I case you've not heard of SIP, its an open standard VoIP but has higher compression so i hear, so may be better for our phone / PDAs.
Thanks again for your posting. Very useful
Neil

I'm moving over slowly from my iPAQ to my new wizard (Vario), which on the whole I'm quite happy with, except for the wifi manager.
Is there a way to get it to just run a scan, so you can see all available SSID's and chanels? I was at a motorway services today, my ipaq picked up 3 diffrent wifi SSID's on diffrent chanels. But my Vario only picked up the T-Mobile SSID, and locked onto that.
I like having the wifi, but not if its only going to let me access T-Mobile hotspots.
wifi settings >> menu (on bottom bar) >> network cards
That seems to give me a list of the available network cards, Not available hotspots (SSID's)

wififofum is a great app – used it on old ppc devices but have yet to put it on my mda.
which version works on this device?
I have version 2.0, works fine.
how do u install the program??
do you put the setup file on the MDA or do you install the setup while the phone is connected via usb?
It depends of what do You have...
Cab file must be copied to Phone and tap on it,
Exe file has to be installed from Activesync.
Type: Windows Installer Package
i would assume that needs to be installed via usb rite? wit active sync....
WiFi Woes
I've also had problems, managed to conect after repeatedly deleting the settings.
But still can't use the net and my router locks up!

Hi ,
I got HTC P3400 ( Gene ) upgraded to WM6 .. and I got the spected wifi card and work great in normal cases ..
I got this wifi card just to use SIP ( voip ) apps with my gene and it work little fine with fring ( hope to find something better )
BUT when my device lock ( turn screen to blank ) it CLOSE the wifi connection so I get DC from the sip server .. and if I canceled the turn off device feature it eat the battery ( I think so )
so I wonder if there a way that I make the gene keep wifi up all time even while the device is locked ?? ( do not know if it is stupid question coz it is so easy to be done or noway to be done .. I just hope someone could help me in that )
some help with fring
Hi willyhopa,
I aquire the sd wifi card to use with my p3400 and I can´t work with fring, they can´t find the wifi connection. Do you have the same problem?
How you setup your fring to use wifi connections?
Best regards.
After much brain hammering I finally got WIFI LAN to work on my HTC p3400 (OLD GENE).
You will need:
1. A WLAN SDIO card ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital )
2. A driver for that wlan SDIO card
The card I have has no brand information, so I used the FCC ID : S2Y - SDIOWLAN - 11B...
Searches came up with this driver, turns out the card is SPECTEC.
Install the driver (whichever it may be) on your GENE, try to get WM CommManager if you don't have one.
Get a nice decent web browser
...and you're off!!!
--here's the driver I am using--
hmm seems it is working but i dont have gene will wait for others reply
