hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone uses this WiFi add-in Card. i use an E-TEN G500 (WinMo 5.0), so i use this WiFi card. i am having a problem, and their support team doesn't really help.
i bought it about 7 months ago, and i worked great until about 2 months ago. the blinking green light blinks and flashes (on the card), but it doesn't seem to wanna find a hotspot, even if i am standing next to my wifi router at home. Now i remember using the driver provided on the website for best stability and reliability, but i am curious as to whether the driver on the website is different than the version on the CD that was packed with the card. Also, i was trying different drivers provided from website (the WM 2003 with WLAN utility that supposedly is compatable with WM 5, the WM 5 exclusive driver, & WM 5.0 exclusive driver). 1) Which driver am i supposed to use; & 2) Does anyone have any problems with This card like i do? Like i said, the card worksa as far as mechanics (blinking green light) but my device/WiFi card doesn't seem to read any hotspots available. it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can shed some light on this and if anyone has any recommendations to any other Mini SD WiFi Card as i can't seem to find another card like this. Thanks all
its the Mini SD card (SDW-822, even though the driver doesnt descriminate between the 820 and 822), not the regular sized one. i was also reading about a "modified E300 WiFi card driver" Where can i find one and how can i download it if its gonna solve my problems?

hi...i just bought an i-mate (upgraded from xda I)...i would just like to know how i would be able to connect to hot spots ie. starbucks and hotel using a wifi card....is there a specific one i need to buy? is it just plug n play? or is there a specific way to configure it? please please help....thanks
i searched, but there's sooo many wierd stuff to read. thanks in advanced people
Hi
there is only one type you should NOT BUY it is the Sandisk with memory - it definitely DOES NOT WORK
The normal Sandisk or the Socket are both working fine, each one also with the other's driver ... and that yes the Sandisk 256 Driver are as good as the latest Socket Driver (which I prefer) ...
Hope to have given you an idea

hi all,
i'd be interested in adding WiFi capabilities to the Gizmondo game console.
while adding the hardware (using an SD Wifi Card) would be trivial, i assume that there is not WiFi support in the ROM at all. so just installing the drivers will not be enough, won't it?
can anybody of the ROM hacking gurus around here give me an educated guess how difficult it would be to add the missing WiFi capabilities?
the Gizmondo uses Window CE 4.2, so i assume most of the missing stuff should be available in the Window CE Platform Builder, right?
thanks a lot,
Daniel
drgoldie: you might want to check out dedicated gizmondo forums for this kind of hacking.
Platform Builder is good for reference, but not very useful for implementing things on a real device, without a full BSP for the device in question.
In this instance, what you're lacking presumably is the wifi card drivers (by the wifi card's manufacturer), irrespective of whether the device can support the external expansion (which it probably can).

hi V,
i am in contact with the Giz hacker guys, but is seems nobody is working on this yet.
the wifi card drivers would probably come with the wifi card, wouldn't they?
my question is more about if there is something missing the OS besides the card drivers. shouldn't there be a WiFi stack in order to do WiFi...?
Daniel
If they're using a standard CE build, you might just be lucky and wifi is built in - subject to the driver. However, given how modular CE is, you might be unlucky!
The driver - well, presuming it's a mainstream wifi card, you've probably got WinMobile drivers, but I'm not sure about cross-compatibility with CE. So, obviously you're in luck if your OEM provides CE drivers, but if they don't - writing your own wifi drivers for the card might be ugly.
However, my advice would be - just stick the card in and see what happens! The OS could lack wifi support, a compatible driver, or both! But before re-implementing wifi in the OS, consider availability of your card's drivers first.
V
well, i don't have any sd wifi card yet.
i was planning to buy this one

because it comes with a lot of software...
any recommendations for specific WiFi cards?
Daniel
Anybody know a way to get a Sandisk Connectplus +128 wifi CF card to work with WM5 ? Drivers for WM2003 are available from Sandisk but that's all. Some of the Linux users have gotten theirs to work with Prism 3 drivers, but it didn't work for me. I've got an ipaq hx4700 with onboard wifi. I have the card leftover from an older ipaq and would like to try to make an external antenna for it rather than messing with the onboard wifi. Thanks for any help.

This forum is for HTC manufactured devices but have you tried the 2003 drivers maybe they will work
Sorry, I thought this device was made by HTC because there's alot of posts about it on another thread. Anyway, I wasn't able to get it to work with the 2003 Sandisk drivers or with some HTC customized Prism drivers from another site. The card doesn't show up at all, not even a message like "unrecognized card" (the 128MB of built in flash on the card are available however)
I may be doing something wrong, my knowledge of these things is very limited. I removed the ipaq wireless manager shortcut .lnk file from the startup folder and made sure the onboard wifi was not active but, maybe other registry changes need to be made as well.?
BTW, out of curiosity I thought I would take a peek at the onboard wifi internals. Fairly simple removing the 4 screws and popping off the plastic corner antenna cover. I noticed what looks like a connector of some kind in the wifi area: not on the wifi daughterboard but just next to it. I don't know what it is, testing connector? JTAG? or maybe antenna? I'm not about to mess with my internal wifi hardware without knowing what the hell I'm doing but maybe others would be interested. Googleing about external wifi connector hacks on PDAs I only find one guy that did it with his Axim.

can you post a pic maybe i can help you with this more then the drivers
I'll try to post a pic later.
Meanwhile I haven't totally given up on this old card. I tried installing the official Sandisk 2003 drivers again and managed to get the ipaq to "see it"' but it won't connect: the LED on the card blinks but there are no networks being detected where there should be.
BTW, for any HTC owners, here's the link to the custom Sandisk drivers I tried earlier. Probably ancient for most but might help someone.

maybe its a typo but its not HPC its HTC (High Tech Computer Corp. and is the name of the manufacture) but maybe he meant Handheld PC (came before pocket pc look at link). So the drivers are i think even before WM2002.(thats cool that they are still around maybe all these forums will still be around in ten years or more)
and he edited the drivers so that the would work on a old device, dont see that, that much

I bought htc and i have few problems so i hope that some one can help me.
I dunno how to connect my htc and pc with usb, how to send files from one cell phone to htc and how to find memory card (micro sd)

Welcome to XDA-Dev
One step at a time with this one I think.
First, can we assume you have a USB lead/cable?
If you have and you have connected it between your phone and PC - what happens?
Mike
Did you get a manual with it as all this is covered in there. It REALLY helps to, at least, glance at the sections you're having problems with...
For memory card though, how big is it? If its bigger than 2Gb and, I'll assume you're running wm06, You need to either have upgraded to wm06 (as some versions weren't sdhc compatable) or flashed a cooked rom. Otherwise install this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58063&d=1194986892
It also helps things if you format the sd card fat32 before doing anything else as it makes life easier later.
To send files use bluetooth... Read on how to start it and pair with a device in your manual.
Cheers...
Firstly welcome to xda developers
try installing active sync, if you are using windows XP or Windows mobile device center if using vista then you can connect the phone to the pc via usb & or bluetooth
go here for either version
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx
finding a memory card isnt that difficult, to send files to the htc from another phone just bluetooth it over , but you need to switch bluetooth on first, obviously.
By the sounds of things ultramags69's advice is the best ,at least read the user manual before asking easy to find answers.
I would also try to explain in greater detail exactly what you are trying to do , then maybe you will get more precise instructions
Well, it's on here anyway...

However, it's telling me I have the latest version of Home (2.7.3.1894) and the software continues to say "No device connected" despite Window Mobile Device Center happily showing the HD2 connected to my pc.
I've pinged TomTom a support request asking for their advice...
Tomtom has been working for me since I got my HD2 4 months ago. I am using Navigator 7.915
Also running 7916 - no problem.
I know some of you have successfully hacked it on to your phones, for those of us that hadn't, I thought I'd post that they're now listing it on their site.
that is not the point.
the point is, that tomtom doesn´t support the hd2 till now, because:
1. the working versions doesn´t have the builded in bt-files, which are contained in any actual tomtom 7 version.
2. it isn´t possible to use mapsharing, or get any other update with tomtom home at the moment. this software doesn´t connect with the hd2, the every given feature is out of the "hd2-world".
3. i´ve a traffic and speed camera contract with tomtom, but i can´t adapt this one to the hd2, cause it isn´t supported.
4. the versions out there doesn´t support wvga, but vga only. so a real wvga version would be really great.
so, in my opinion, it would be really great, to get tomtom 7 official working on the hd2, without using an "adopted" version.
Hi all,
have you tried connecting the the TT Micro-SD card in a SD adapter and connect it directly to your PC (not connected via HD2). Tomtom home will recognize the application and the maps and perform updates if needed.
that doesn´t work with here.
i also tried to copy the "ttnavigator.bif" from my other pda, for which i´ve the contract with same tomtom-services, to the root of the sd-card, but there is no possibility.
does that works for you?
you're meant to connect your hd2 to the computer using disk mode and not active sync mode. Doing this will allow tomtom home to see the drive and update maps from there.
i´ve tried both - but without any success.
Thanks for the pointer. Quite surprised really, but pleasantly.
The standard version of Tomtom 7 I had bought still wont install on the HD2 (obviously). Any ideas how one is supposed to get an installable version now it's become compatible?
