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.

Interesting thought. But if you're going that route, why not just use a Verizon MiFi unit? No cables needed, and your own wifi hotspot for multiple devices.
thanks for the suggestion. I already have the USB air card and it would be nice to use same air card for my laptop and gtab. my air card is company paid for to include monthly subscription.
If company paid for, you might ask your IT dept if they can do a device swap or upgrade to the mifi. Same data plan. I do it for my guys.

Hi is there any usb internet stick with sim card or router with sim card who work on TF201?? I really need this!
Almost every Huawei stick will work, see HERE
HOW TO USE A SMART-PHONE WITH AN EXTERNAL 3G USB MODEM THROUGH A CABLE?
This question arises due to the traffic policies of mobile operators, or providers.
They are resolutely against VOIP telephony, Skype, Viber, etc.
So, putting in sim cards from a 3G USB modem into a smart-phone will not be successful as a rule.
Therefore, we would have to use a 3G USB modem through a cable instead. What cable should it be?
A normal one or an OTG cable if any?

I got the old HTC HD2 and the wifi inside is really bad.
I tought about buying WIFI dongel and connect it via OTG cable,
will it work and find me networks?
Thanks.
