Using wifi with a sandisk SD

Hi there guys Was wondering if any one can point me in the direction of how to set up my wifi card i bought two days ago, I just called TDMS - T-mobile and spoke to there well trained staff who said they dont have a clue what im on about, My MDA can search for spots no probs and pick them up, But for some reason i just cant connect at all, Do i need to assign for example a specific IP address or Even a certain domain?!?! I know there was a thread in regards to this, But ive looked and it takes me to no further than what im at just now, Any help would be much apppreciated.
Joseph.

Ok since i have posted my last "Q", I have tried my MDA without a sim card in, So my web and walk CANT start, tried using the wifi, But it seems that the MDA is still looking for the GPRS to connect over wifi first, Any solutions around this?! Help would be great

Ok thanks for that.

my wifi sd card also can`t work with wm6!

I have a i-tec SDIO Wlan and it is working better under clean wm6. Having some problems under original ROM. I mentioned the same thing - Charmer tried to connect over GPRS first. Under the clen new ROM with wm6 - there are no pre-deffined connections - wlan works much better. Maybe you needo to install some WM5 drivers to get it work.

I'm using the SpecTec SDW-820 (11 MBit) with my Charmer (T-Mobile Germany, WM5/AKU3.3) and it works quite good. However, from time to time it seems like Windows does not recognize the card. If I insert the card, just nothing happens at all. After a soft-reset, everything is fine again. Strange issue, since it's working most of the time without any trouble.

gettin real bored of websites sayin they dont have one for wm6! cheers.

major spv m700 problems

Hey guys.
I am having huge problems with my spv m700. Nothing will install on it (I've just loaded tom tom onto the sd card and it just does the installation little plingy noise and then nothing).
It won't even recognise there being a sim card in the slot when I put my dutch simcard in it. I have repeatedly auto and manually used the unlock program available here somewhere to absolutely no avail.
I'm getting to the end of my tether with the thing and am considering keeping my spv m2000 as that hasn't been any hassle at all since I've had that.
Is it my simcard is somehow not the correct standard for the M700? works fine in my m2000. And why would the phone not install tom tom?

i have not had any problems with my m700, looks like you have problem with your phone (that is what i think), try to exchange it, explain what is wrong to the orange.
hh

Did you buy it from Orange? If so, they should have supplied a new SIM card.
Your old M2000 SIM probably won't work in the M700, because the M700 is a 3G phone, and needs a USIM card, which has extra circuitry on it. A USIM will work fine on your old phone, so you could just ask Orange for a replacement SIM card.
Your SD card issues are something different- have you tried a different SD card in the M700, or the existing SD card in a PC card reader? This may narrow things down a bit.

OK I am thinking the problem must lie with the sim card itself. No I didn't purchase the phone from orange. I have an orange payg simcard and that registers no problems on orange NL. The UK based O2 card I have is recognised as a simcard but won't register on a network in holland. My mates new telefort simcard also won't register on a network but a 10 year old dutch sim card from my other mate works perfectly. Each time I swapped out sims I re-checked mine only to still find it completely unrecognised.
Update on Tom Tom. The version I have been trying to instal is tom tom 5 which this phone it appears doesn't like. The tom tom 5 navigator will not go past the maze page at initial instal. If I instal tom tom 5 mobile that works but it won't accept screen inputs and out of all the phone keys only 2 work so its un-navigable. I am waiting for delivery of a 4gb mini sd card now as my 512kb one isn't big enough for even the simplest of tom tom 6 installations.
I sold my spv m2000 today and maybe think I will regret that move. Especially as the guy thats bought it thinks he can install windows mobile 5 on it which was my main reason for moving phones along with thinking that the tom tom software I have would work.

TomTom Navigator 5 will work on the P3600, but as with all WM5/WM6 installations, is a real pain to acheive. There are some tutorials on our website (see sig)
TomTom Mobile is for Smartphones, so won't work on PPC devices.
SIM cards: you need to get a USIM update from Orange (unless of course the M700 has been blocked for some reason?). You should also SIM unlock your M700, if it hasn't been already- all SPV Orange models are SIM locked to the Orange network.

Once your M700 works fine you will praise the day that you bought it. I've got it for almost a year now and it is the best PDA ever. I've now got it running on mun_RUs WM6 and it keeps getting better and better. HTC will have to come up with a pretty good replacement before I switch to another one.

Yeah I ran the unlock program on the phone. It says its unlocked but I don't think it is. I managed to get tom tom 5 to install by going into the 2577 folder and activating the files in there one by one and now tom tom works for me.
I have since returned to the UK. The UK orange simcard that would connect to orange NL will now not connect to orange UK. My O2 simcard will not connect to any network either. I will re-download the unlock file and re-unzip it in case I have a problem there and then re-use it. I am following the tutorial on the thread is there anything missing from the instructions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293957 I must be doing something wrong as loads of other people are getting good results with this program. How do I know if my simcard is a USIM?

I think the USIM issues is a red herring- unless you have a VERY old SIM then it should work with the handset- this is according to Vodafone.
This may sound really stupid, but are you sure you put the SIM in the right way round?
The first time I tried my Voda SIM with my unlocked Orange M700 it said "No SIM". I think I may have had it upside down....as later it just started working OK.

Yeah already thought of that. Thing is the lebara network card that isn't even recognised as being in the phone looks physically different to the other sims that are recognised. The only card that will log onto a network is the UK orange one which is now logging on and working(I had a netwrok setting wrong). The O2 sim keeps coming up with denied,searching. In manual network selection it also denies service and comes up with no service.
In short there are a couple of things I am unsure of. I've run it in manual as well.
1. Transfer SSPL/SSPL-TRIN.exe to your phone and run it
done and understood
2. Tri-color screen will appear
Yep
3. Disable activesync (file -> connection settings -> uncheck "allow USB connections")
This I don't understand and when I disable activesync my phone no longer communicates with the pc
4. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
When I do this with activesync disabled nothing happens so I have to reinstate activesync to continue
5. Run RUU/ROMUpgradeUtility.exe
done this
6. Follow the flashing process (Check the "I understand..." and "I completed..." boxes and update!)
and this
7. Allow your phone to reboot.
See now my phone doesn't reboot itself here I physically have to either press the power button or push the little button on the bottom
8. Transfer TRIN_Unlock_v1.exe program to your phone and run it
yeah can do this easy
9. Click the Unlock Button, select unlock option. Select if you want SIM/CID unlock.
and this
10. Click "Unlock!" and wait until process finishes.
yeah of course
11. When done, turn off your phone for 10 seconds and reboot after that.
OK maybe I don't have this reboot off to pat but I turn it off and then press that little button on the bottom with the stylus
Now I have tried this with an orange card in, with an O2 card in, with no card in and the result is always the same No joy. I am so clearly getting something wrong and its getting very frustrating.

Can I ask where you got you phone from? Was it a new purchase from a supplier, or from Ebay etc?
The fact that a UK SIM works in NL, but nothing seems to work in UK, shows that the Radio does actually work, but not in all locations.
This could suggest that the phones IMEI number is being blocked for some reason- usually if the phone has been reported lost or stolen. Or the fact that the UK Orange SIM now seems to work may imply that the phone CID /SIM unlock didn't take properly.
It may be worth trying another unlocking tool. If you pop over to Modaco, their Trinity forum has a good unlocker which worked on my Orange M700

Yeah it was an ebay phone. Its being a right pain. I have tried completely unlocking the security using this guide http://wiki.spv-developers.com/HTC_Application_Unlock_Guide
Its not unlocking. I cannot edit the registry from a pc based application and it won't let me instal a reg edit program. I need to find an older than feb 06 rom file and try again. I am begining to think this phone is a dodgy one. How do I find out if its registered stolen?

To find out about the phone's status, call Orange Customer Services (07973 123 150) and get them to check the IMEI number (Settings/Device Information/Identity Tab)
For the Super CID, you could try This app on Modaco. It seems pretty reliable. Once flashed, you can them apply any ROM image update.

Hi,
My quick penneth's worth:
I've had M2000 - pile of junk (real technical problems) compared with M5000 - great 'phone, great functionality - absolutely no technical problems.
M700 replicates the M5000 functionality, except with built-in GPS!
Absolutely the best 'phone ever, glad to agree to 18 month contract (as opposed to my usual rule of never agreeing to more than 12 months).
Everything about the M700 shouts out that it really has been thought about before production - right down to clear plastic covered paint as opposed to painted plastic.
Not the smallest of 'phones, but I believe that this is about as optimum as you will get size-wise if you want a screen to be useful for WM5/6.
You will not regret the move from M2000 - trust me.

Update. I got a new orange simcard put that in it and after the texts that orange sent it now also works with a uk vodafone simcard. It still doesn't even recognise either of my lebara cards as a simcard so I think there is a problem with that type of sim. I'll try another Dutch card in it when I get back there and see if that works.

2. Tri-color screen will appear when at this screen unplug usb then plug back in, windows should detect usb device (htc usb sync) as far as i can tell windows needs this driver installing to communicate outside of activesync!
this maybe for Vista only? i dont know? but worth a try!
if i am wrong someone please correct me

I had a similar problem. After I installed a peice of SPB software to memory card - the phone side opf the PDA couldnt lock on to the network. It wouldn't work with any other SIM either!!
Orangre replaced the SIM just in case. However I ended up doing a hard reset.
I think the problem is the way that the M700 handles large memory cards. theres plenty of threads on that one!!
Once, after an install of TomTom - all my other folders were wiped on the card.
I'm now using SPB Backup and am making a copy of my memory card too.

I got it working in the end with persistence. I got a second phone I was so impressed with it. I then proceeded to fall off my bike and smash the first phone up. Broke the screen. When repairing it I managed to break the screens ribbon retaining clip and socket and then fried a power capacitor or something fitting the battery backwards so unless I can find a new main board I am up the creek with that phone.

Cant get HTC Touch Dual to work with my TomTom 520 GO

Hey all,
As the title says, I can't get it to work. Heres the process...
1. TomTom finds the phone ok
2. Phone asks for Bluetooth auth code
3. As TomTom states, 0000 is entered on phone, code accepted.
4. The % complete on TomTom goes up to no more than 40%.
5. Connection fails with something like "unable to search for the phones features".
Thats it, it doesnt go any further and I've tried many times. The phone is from Orange UK and is using their default rom.
Operator Version 25.131.1.6110
ROM Version: 1.31.61.10
ROM Date: 10/30/07
Radio Rom: 1.58.16.27
Protocol Version: 25.61.30.03H
My phone is the Hermes and this works fine using the exact same steps. Its also Orange UK but I've put the Pays rom on it. But the same process just works ok.
Is it that the HTC Touch Dual is too new and the connectivity between them wont work until a software update? Thats my complete guess
Any help, suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks,
D.

Works for me with the 720T so it should work on the 520 too. Have you installed the latest v7.48 version for the 520 ?

I bought a TomTom 920T yesterday and I too am having issues with an OrangeTouch Dual.
In my case it pairs OK and TomTom is set up as a Hands-Free etc. But it fails to create the data connection. It says that the device does not support DUN. I tried with an Orange C600 and it worked fine.
Anyone else seen this too?
TomTom have a manual config guide here http://www.tomtom.com/support/product.php?ID=1959&Language=1&query=mobile&FID=3326 but I can't see a way of getting in these options on the 920T with the latest version of TomTom.

Yes you need to add the BT DUN with a little cab that can be found somewhere here, it's called WM6_BT_DUN.cab

Thanks for that. It got me a bit further. The TomTom now recognises the devices ability to provide the data connection but it wont connect to TomTom services. I did a few soft resets to see if that changed anything but nothing. I've try the Orange contract and Orange WAP settings, also tried setting it manually as per TomTom's instructions in my previous post - but still no connection. I've done a little research on this site but not found a well detailed solution.
Any ideas?

Yeah, I did install that cab and rebooted my Dual. I can now see that it provides a DUN but sending AT-commands there produces no result (not an OK, not an ERROR, just nothing). Any idea why?

Once installed, do you still connect using Bluetooth PAN or just turn on Bluetooth and pair the phone with the Tomtom Go 520?
If this works I will be a very happy man! Been quite bleak that I couldn’t connect before, could have saved myself a lot of time with on the go traffic updates!
Thanks

HTC Dual and tom tom 910. Working at last!!
Well after many hours of trying my tom tom traffic and hands free voice finally work.
Install the BT_CAB on your device.
pair the two together
go to Internet sharing on your phone - set PC Connection to Bluetooh pan.
Connect to the internet.
Go to your tomtom, check you are connected, go through the standard process of setting up tom tom traffic.
once connected go to Blue tooth option on the tomtom and set to answer phone and obtain data.
good luck.

First mods to my G1

Hi, I'm Chris from Malta and I just got my White HTC G1.
I'm still getting to use it and to its million functions and would any help from others who have the same mobile. I
have 2 major problems at the moment :
1) I can't access the numbers saved on my sim card, anyone knows if there is any setting ?
2) I can't connect with other users throuh bluetooth, they told me there is a setting but can't find it !! Any help would be appreciated.
All the software that you installed and other that u didnt etc.
Any Upgrades available ?
Thanks
Chris

1) Goto your contacts and hit the Menu button. There will be an option for importing your SIM card data.
2) At your desktop screen press Menu then go into Settings. Everything for Bluetooth is under the Wireless Controls.
Honestly the first thing I did was I rooted my phone. It's a simple process just follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Reason I did that is because I wanted to install apps to my SDcard, give me access to themes, and give me the ability to tether my 3G connection to my laptop via wifi so I can play games like World of Warcraft on the go.
As for apps its up to you what you find useful. Personally I like Advanced Taskmanager (if you can't buy it I'm sure you can find the free version "Taskmanager for Root Users" somewhere but keep in mind you need a root'd phone for it), SnapPhoto (free version), ShopSavvy, Last.fm, Twidroid, and Locale.

Thanks a lot for answering Ron Overdrive
Managed the Contact thing but not the bluetooth one !! I mange to pair with others but not connect !!! Any help ?
Thanks
Chris

Bluetooth on the G1 is still a work in progress. Only two profiles are supported currently. Headset and handsfree. You will probably have to wait for google to send out an update before you can connect to other peoples phones over bluetooth.

Memory card
I'm trying to put music on my memory card inputted on the G1 but after putting the usb cable in its telling me to insert a disk into drive G when the memory card is already inside !!!
Can you help me please ?
Thanks
Chris

on your phone scroll down the notification bar.
click on the usb connection and mount your phone

out of point
not really about the subject but i just wanted to point out i'm from Gudja, i got my dev phone last December and i switched to Melita on the 6th February, I wanted to ask chris : How has it been with GO? did you get a monthly plan? and was the phone unlocked when you bought it?
thanks
Digirhino

Hi Digirhino, I'm with go on a pay as you go service. Got the phone locked, unlocked it through a code from the seller and the rest all ok.

Wanted to ask if its possible to install programs windows based such as MSN messanger etc on the android ???
Also is there any program that add time Hrs Minutes Seconds that works on the Android ?
Thanks
Chris
