Sandisk sd WiFi only card faulty & now obsolete

I purchase a new Sandisk sd WiFi card off e-bay, and it worked okay in my Compact the first time, the second time it failed (no lights).
After a lengthy support call to Sandisk in the US (via UK number), the diagnosis was that the card had died.
Fortunately Sandisk have a couple of UK companies that can handle warrantee claims and my card was dispatched in the post.
I have just had an e-mail from them saying that the card had indeed failed, and that they would be dispatching a new WiFi + 256Mb card instead of the WiFi only card because this card was now obsolete.
I quess i can live with that!!!
Thumbs up for Sandisk, i just hope that my Compact has not caused the failure of the card somehow with a faulty SDIO slot? Memory cards work fine so I hope that the card failure was a one off.

Hi,
Wait until you install the driver of Sandisk 256+wifi on compact.
The driver provided by Sandisk is not compatible with WM2003SE. It is only compatible with WM2003. There are a lot of complain say that this incompatible driver caused compact to work not as stable as before.
I contact Sandisk about this and they say that they never say their driver compatible with WM2003SE. Sad!!!
Best regards,
Arto.

Yes Sandisk did say to me that the driver is WM2003, not WM2003SE.
I guess i will have no option but to use the WM2003 driver, what other option is there?
Thanks,
Mike.

Okay, but you still need the Sandisk driver, and the Socket utility is a bonus add-on.
Looks a neat utility though Thanks.

I use a sandisk card, but use the socket driver. Works a treat. Couldn't get the sandisk driver to work!!

Is the socket driver working with combo memory and wifi?
If "yes", I will try socket driver. Headache with Sandisk driver
Thanks
Best regards,
Arto

Sorry this is only wifi not combo but I think the Socket drivers are better.
I did read that the combo may not work in certain devices not sure if this included the jam.
Regards

I have a Jam running ROM 1.06 WWE. My Sandisk 256 meg is working great with the LATEST dirvers from Sandisk.
http://www.sandisk.com/retail/drivers-sdwsdb-256.asp
It may not specify that it works with SE, but it works fine on my Jam. I have access to my home network and do file exchanges with no problem. The only problem I had was when I tried to connect to my network when my router SSID was turned off. So I turned it on and then set up my security settings on my Jam and then turned it off again and had no more problems.

Sandisk Wifi card without it is compatible?
Thank's a lot.
Hi..

yeah well not really because i think that people can use the memory but not the wifi it require some special driver to use both things
and xda's dont have that driver and cant have it installed i think
yeah the non mem sandisk is fine and so i sockets or what ever the other company who use the same chip is called

in my old times ;-PP I have been using sandisk SDIO WLAN card with XDA II and it was working for me, my friends have also reported succesfull operation withy sandisk card ....
I have not tried combo from sandisk (wlan + memory) at that time it was too expensive
you can also try SPECTEC WLAN (card has been reported to work on MDA mini etc.) card that is recently out to the market, it is much shorter and cheaper as compared to Sandisk .... for photos and simple comparison here it the link, although it is in my mother tongue .... just look for the pictures ;-)

i am running the spectec sdw-820 since almost two weeks and it runs flawlessly even under buzzmobile 2005 with the current driver release 1.24.2 the only contra is that only very few network tools/scanner run under buzzmobile 2005.
handling and using is very easy. i am excited about that small sized wifi-card.

MDA Vario /Qtek 9100 and 4GB?

Anybody know if This PDA can support 4GB miniSD?
Thanks.

The Wizard is miniSD compatible. miniSD is derived of the SD specification that support up to 2GB memory cards. 4GB cards are SDHC compatible derived of the SDHC specification. For this reason 4GB memory cards are not compatible with the wizard neither with TyTN. I don't know any 4GB miniSD card from any fame manufacturer.
More information on this link from SanDisk:
http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/File/pdf/retail/SDHC1.pdf

Thanks maca2406.
But, did you try?
Anybody try it and don't work?
Thanks

ive got a 4gb sd card working with mine..i got it as a present so im not sure where it's from since it hasnt got a name on it..but it does work..

Hello EgemenBor,
Not 4GB SD but 4GB miniSD card on a MDA Vario (or Wizard, Qtek 9100, Imate K-Jam), right?
Thanks

Nope, but maybe a generic product works, look this link:
http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_4096mb_MOBY_002
I don't trust on non branded products then I can not respond your question. but is important to know that neighter fame manufacturer has 4GB miniSD cards for sale (ex. SanDisk, Kingston, etc).

From that SanDisk article:
2. Look for SDHC logo on card and packaging itself
a. GB SD cards without SDHC logo are non-compliant with the SDA 2.00
specification.

Notice, they say "non-compliant" and NOT "non-existent." They are obviously cow-towing to device manufacturers here, plus expecting us to foot the bill!
The problems I've heard of with these cards are:
1.) They don't last as long. (Neither did 3.5" Low-Density Floppy Disks when formatted as High-Density, but I've still got a few originals hanging around that work....) It would be great to know what proccess they were using to create these drives as opposed to the 2GB ones....
2.) The card may need to be repartitioned into 2-2GB drives. (See this thread)
please remember that just because it doesn't meet the new standard, doesn't mean it doesn't work with the older standard-devices
I, for one, am grateful there are vendors serving this sub-market, even though the major players are moving on!

Thanks Blazoner.
Anybody have a miniSD 4GB card on a Wizard, that works well?
Thanks

I have 2 mobymemory cards 2gb and 1 gb both work v well - if mobymemory say this 4gb card will work i trust them - i will most likely get one!
I have said all along that i think a 4gb mini-sd card will work in the wizard as a 4gb sd card works in a prophet and they really have v similar roms. 4gb even works in a magician and that has an even older rom.

I base myself on what SanDisk says in this link in red:
http://www.sandisk.com/Compatibility/Device(8040)-T-Mobile-MDA_Vario.aspx
T-Mobile MDA Vario
(Mobile Phones)
Maximum capacity for this device: May support up to 2GB
Please check with your device manufacturer for details.
Also, SanDisk doesn't manufacture 4GB minisd cards. I have learned to pay attention to what SanDisk says
It would be necessary to check if to use more than 2gb works ok with the Wizard with this 4gb minisd card. Unfortunately I am in America and I don't have access to mobymemory devices.

How long did it work ok? try formatting it on the device using sktools or storage tools

Take a look at this thread. It describes this problem and it's solutions in detail. Just read miniSD instead of SD.
Remember, it can still be compatible with the current standard, even if it doesn't comply with the new standard.
If all Fords are cars, does that mean all cars are Fords?
If all miniHDSC cards are 4GB or larger, does that mean all 4GB or larger memory cards are miniHDSC cards?

Hi,
I receive my new miniSD 4GB card... but my Wizard don't recognize it!
Is a new SDHC and even my laptop with a pcmcia reader card (old) don't recognize too! But I think card is OK because with my Sanyo Xacti C6 work well!
What can I do? Can I make 2x 2GB partitions FAT 16... maybe Wizard work?
Thanks

well my phone isn't reading the memory card and when I try to access it via a card reader on my pc nothing happens...just gets stuck..could it be that the card is dead?
I've had the problem for the past week or so...the card in general was really slow I.e. uplaoding files and accessing the card on my pc would take a while..

I try format miniSDHC 4GB card with 2 partitions 2GB FAT16 but Wizard don't recognize it! Even my old pcmcia card reader can't "see" it! At laptop only work with a card reader that works with SDHC!
Any Help?
Thanks

By this experience, I think Wizard can't read any miniSDHC card unless HTC make a firmware update (will do sometime?) to support this new standard SDHC!
Anybody have better good news?
But, I can't understand why Qtek 9000 and S200 can read SD 4GB, like some persons report it!!!
Thanks

The 1001st 4GB MiniSD Card Topic

Hi, I've been browsing around the forums trying to work out whether a 4GB MiniSD or MiniSDHC card will work with the Trinity or not, but I can't seem to get a definite answer..
For those of you, who have successfully been using 4GB (MiniSD or MiniSDHC) for a long while now, (> 1 month preferably), how did you get it working? i.e. how did you format it, are you using a different ROM, etc.
My device will be the Orange SPV M700 (I haven't got it yet), if I flash it with, say, a Dopod ROM, what are the advantages/disadvantages?
Thanks for the help!

I have a DoPOD d810, i also would like to know if it can handle a 4GB MiniSD.
Please reply if you have any experience with this issue.

Listen up guys...How many threads does it take to get this issue solved? I have been using a TopRam 4gb miniSD for 3 months. I'm a power user with TomTom, video apps and audio apps all running directly from the miniSD card. The card is 85% full of nav maps, music and videos. I have never had an issue with this setup running the Dopod Test Rom found in the Wiki of this site. It works for me, that is all I can say. Apparently there are some rom versions that have had issues in the past.

Thanks.
I also saw some other threads on this issue, it would seem that the Trancsend 4GB MiniSD is the most promising.

At this point, it's hit or miss. While a few users report no problems, many others have had problems with not only the 4gb, but smaller cards as well.
I, for one, have a 2gb card that works flawlessly, and a 4gb card that wont last a day without errors. My belief is that this has more to do with the brand/manufacturer than anything else

Im having major probs with my 4GB trancsend SDHC card.
It no longer is recognised through my card reader / HTC P3600
Tested on all ROMs that are available to download. Still trying to find a solution.

From what i saw in some forums you should not use "SDHC" (yet, till HTC solve the problem) but normal one and Format FAT/FAT32

Support for mini SDHC

Does anyone know whether or not an 02 XDA Atom Exec will work with a 4gb mini SD (either from Sandisk or Transcend)? Would a firmware update solve the problem>? If not what options do i have
thks

i also have the same question.

I have the same question. I contacted O2 about the mini SDHC issue, but they are very vague with their answer (below - dated 16th July 2007)
"Thank you for contacting O2 Asia Technical Support.
With reference to the query that you have made, the Xda Atom has been tested with memory cards with a capacity of 2GB. By using a memory card with a higher capacity such as what you have mentioned, 4GB, may possibly cause some software conflict.Thus it may compromise the functioning of your device.
We hope this information is useful. Thank you.

If anyone is using a miniSDHC card on the atom, i will be glad to know which one. Also, is there any upgrade of software / firmware than can make this possible...

I have a miniSDHC card, Trascend brand. Won't read at all on the Atom. So don't get your hopes up. <_<

Try this drivers from HTC ATHENA for SDHC support on Atom.
Note, that it was not fully tested...

not SDHC but 4 gb works with atom
hi there,
I have an atom and it works with a 4 gb Topram minisd just fine, it's not no SDHC, and not sure if this answers your question. you can get this for like 40 bucks on e**y.

slamming_sammy1...
that's good news - incidentally, i went for the 2 gb card before i read your post. well, i'll have to upgrade sometime, i guess.

I bought O2 Atom Life just a week before. The same day I bought I did logged in to get WM6 upgrade and within 3 hours of purchase my device was on WM6.
When I downloaded the ROM after Registering and entering my IMEI the download page came and there was clearly mentioned that after WM^ upgrade the device will be able to use miniSDHC card but the capacity was not mentioned. BUT IT IS QUIET CLEARLY CONFIRMED THAT WM6 CAN READ miniSDHC CARD WHICH CAN BE ANYTHING ABOVE 2GB.
But its true that the device may start to slowdown, as well as the count of stored files increases to huge number. This is not tested by me but when I used 2gb card on MotoMing with more than 1000 files, the device started slowing down, though it was linux based. And we all know how windows behaves

Which patch?
I need too this patch..

I am unable to download Athena_sdhc.rar anyone can re-upload on rapidshare please

I guess if it works for Atom, it also works for HP rw 6828 (with "helloWorld" WM6.1 Rom fro this forum)
Do you know if it works with a micro SD 8GB or higher with a mini SD adapter ?
Some people report that 8GB works.
I use a 2GB from "integral" without problem.
I tried with a 4GB micro SD Kingston with mini-SD adapter, and it seemed to work.
Any slowdown when a lot of files are on the SD card ?
Did someone tried this link

I purchased an second hand Atom Life with WM6.0 but it would not read a SDHC 4GB card until the attacehd program was installed. But i soon found that the standard ROM sucks and then loaded a WM6.1 from Medkid and it works like a dream!!....that is everything good and SDHC support for my 4GB card is built in. Otherwise here is the SDHC driver for WM.
