WIFI with XDA II mini

hi guys,
i just bought an XDA II mini, and i heard there are a lot of problems with wireless lan, so im confused, can i use the sandsick wifi card with that phone and access the internet ? does it work well or do i have to trick somethign ? and what kind of card does work ? thank you for the help.

should be possible of cause you need something to connect to
so you need a wifi router or have access to a wifi hotspot somewhere

My MDA Compact works perfectly well with the SanDisk Wifi with 256Mb memory. I didn't experience any problems, except setting it up! :lol: But now I know what to do, its perfect.

ah ok, so wifi and wireless lan are the same but ? meaning as long as theres a wireless lan internet hotspot around, i can use it right ?

yep you got it in one.

well if the hotspot let you
if it's a private wifi network then unly if they dident make it secure
and if it public hotspot they may want to charge you for using it

yeah i know that, how bout security keys ? can the card handle 64/128 bit encryption when i know the key ?

looking at sandisks site would give the answer to that question i think

i got the card, and it was installed fine, also fins my wireless network, but i cant sue internet explorer, it always says i have no connection, and under modem settings i cannot choose wireless, only dial in or bluetooth/gprs settings

if you mean surf and not sue
then try choosing the connection
under advanced when you want to suft using wifi
you have to sellect that connection insted of the GPRS which is the std connection picked there

i tried that, but then in the modem settings there is no wifi option to choose, only gprs, bluetooth and a few others

8525 problems???

I have been reading this forum and many others all day about the wifi problems people are having but none are like mine so I would like to ask this question, I turn on wifi and it will not find my network or any network around. I have tried to manually put in the ssid and ip address and still it will not connect that way either. I have checked and double checked all my router setting (currently set to open with no wep or anything) I am begining to wonder if the wifi is broken? My second problem I have found it when I change the connection setting to my isp I cannot connect to the internet. Maybe a bad setting, I am not really sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

is your router set to broadcast the ssid? if not then that is the problem. if this option is not enabled then no one can see your router.
as far as connecting via a cell connection, make sure you are using an operator cab. I am sure if you do a simple search you will be able to find a cab that will load all of the proper setting for a cellular internet connection.
who is your provider?

Yes, my router does bradcast the ssid and I have four computers and printers that find it without anyproblems. When i turn on wi-fi the phone doesn't even search for a network the icon shows up but I don't get the arrow that go back on forth to show that it is searching or connecting.

I am also having a problem with my 8525. I do get connected but i cant browse the net. Can someone tell me how to setup a connection from scratch to connect to wifi. Thanks

Search around on the Hermes forum. IE doesn't know to use the WiFi connection when it's available. There's a registry key setting that needs to be changed in order for IE to make use of the WiFi connection rather than going out over your data connection with your carrier.

[help] WiFi Internet through a proxy

Hi, I've been searching for a while for a way to get my phone's WiFi to connect through my school's proxy server.
I've tried setting the connection in Network Cards to Work and setting up a connection with the settings for it, but Internet Explorer still can't load a page.
I read something about a default connection called Work in the Connections but I can't find it, however when I try to make one called Work it says one exists already
Has anyone got this working? It would be very useful for some of my classes and I'd like to have the net without booting my laptop up
Any suggestions appreciated, especially if you can tell me where to find the Work connection settings.
Aaron.

How do I connect to wireless networks(HTC MAGICIAN)

I just got a HTC Magician, and i don't know how to connect to wireless networks or how to search for them, can someone post a step by step guide please? or if the same question was previously asked please tell me where i searched for more then an hour.
Thanks

If you mean WIFI, you can`t. Magician does not have WIFI capabilities.
Some SD-Wifi adapters are supposed to work, but I don`t know the details.

i have been told that i can connect to wireless internet with it

Maybe Wireless internet via the gsm network (as in mobile internet)... no WiFi here.

there are also other options as in internet through bluetooth (and activesync) but Wifi is a big no go unless you have a Wifi SDIO card.

i understand thanks for the informations

the magician doesn't have a WIFI(GPS) installed. So you can do what you want, but it will never connect to WIFI.
