I know this has already been covered a zillion times, but I'm having trouble finding a solid answer to this:
Is is at all possible to use the SanDisk SD Wi-Fi card with the T-Mobile PPC Phone? I am currently using ROM 4.01.00.
I actually purchased the card and then realized that it doesn't seem to work with the device, so does anybody know of another component I can buy that will provide Wi-fi to the phone?
Thanks very much...
Greg.'
Sorry...
As I understand it the XDA PPCPE does not support SD/IO. This means that you will not be able to use the Sandisk Wi-Fi. I did hear a rumor that is was only a driver away from sd/io but not sure about that rumor.
Seems like you answered your question right there. It won't work in the device because the device does not support SDIO. With that being said, I have never heard of a way to "rig" a Wi-Fi connection to the XDA....but I could be wrong.
Understood, but I'm also wondering since the Sandisk card won't work because it's SDIO, is there anything that's not SDIO that will work?
No, understand that SDIO stands for SD card slot, INPUT AND OUTPUT. Since any wifi card you use is by default SDIO, you are stuck. I heard once that somone was working on a wifi device that connects to the activesync port but I think it is vaporware.
Wi FI for XDA - Progress Report.
This is another challenge I have decided to tackle in my spare time,I would call it more difficultware than vaporware at this stage! :roll:
First of all there is no way to make a SD card function like an SDIO. The IPAQ were built with SDIO, meaning they do have the I/O part that can be activated programatically by the patch.
Not to despair. I wanted a WI FI solution for my XDA because I work around many hotspots.
A few other XDA developers also had the same inclination and prutchi managed to connect to a LAN using a wireless device using RS232 cable, you can read about it in:
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2938&highlight=wifi
:idea: :idea: I decided to go with the Active Synch port and the USB cable ( the one you can buy from AT&T or TMobile for $20-25) for hotsync process instead of carrying the cradle or have one custom built
I am using a Linksys Wireless Network Adapter( Model WUSB11 ver 2.6) this is a USB powered device( challenge 1- how to get the PDA to power up the device!) and using the SDIO WIFI software as a template for the interface.
So far:
In PPC 2002. I have not been able to connect at all.
In WM2003 I connect, can ping IPs on WIFI, but do not have IE access.
and the netwrok card only works when the power cord is plugged into the USB synch cable from AT&T! Never when the unit is unplugged.
1-Working on a way to make it work with IE,meaning we can actually browse with it.
2- Looking for a USB based WAP card that has a battery or small power source( so it does not need to feed off the device)
Open to suggestions, ideas and collaboration on this!
Thank you
I wonder if sync/charge cables floating on eBay for $5 or so would address challenge #1. The power does not necessarily flow the other way, of course.
I used some of those as well and no luck!
The problem is not the calble and USB connection. I need now to find a powered USB access point) once I get a device with power I can do some testing on the API to it and get us Wi Fi for XDA1.
when xda2 upgrade with umts??? :lol:
tanks :wink:
never
it would require a whole new telephone hardware
a replacement of the gsm module hardware inside the pda
maybe a xda3 will have it
or you can get a SDIO or CF umts modem
Usefull to know where do you get the 3G (umts) SD Modem? and will it work like the 3g Data card I have in my laptop?

guys,
I read somewhere on the net that prophet only supports 802.11b so how do you guys make it support g? I mean don't we need another network card in order for it to support g? Please answer. Thank you in advance.
Not sure what you mean... As Prophet hardware spec, its wireless can support 802.11b and g.
If you're asking how to enable the setting in WM5, see below link:

However, if you use latest WM6 ROM, the setting for 802.11g should be enabled.
Hi, I have bought a packet GPS navigator for Dell- pk07, I have Siemens pocket pc Sx56 Mobile and can we use PDA with Siemens pocket pc Sx56, can anyone guide me, thanks in progress.
?????
What the hell is "packet GPS navigator for Dell- pk07"?
If the GPS-reciever is not a bluetooth device it should be able to build a connection cable.
Software could work. It depends on the Base system it requires......

Hi, I'm going to buy AC100 NO3G... can you tell me if it supports any 3G USB key? If yes, can you say which internet keys?
Thank you very much
