WIFI CARD???

is there such a thing as a wifi sd card that can fit into my sx-56 so that i can use the internet on the pda from a wireless connection as i have a g router setup at home?

No, there is no wifi-card.
All wifi-cards require SDIO-Slot and the Wallaby device have only SD-Slot.

No card, didn't look far...
Sandisk wifi SDIO card available, working in my XDAII
There is also a Sandisk wifi SDIO card with 256Mb built in, but it.s not compatable with XDA/XDAII
Paid £35 on ebay for mine.
3.01 drivers are the best ones, WEP works better than with 3.00.
There is another make but I don't remeber.

This is a much needed item on my XDA I wishlist

What is the largest SD card that can be used in an XDAIIi?

Hi,
A simple question but I couldn't find it categorically written down anywhere: What is the largest SD card that can be used in an XDAIIi?
Thanks a lot,
James.

Im not sure i know of any limit, but its worth noting that only a Transcend 80x SD card works properly and as far as i know they go up to 1gig.
Any other card (non 80x) causes problems with the XDA IIi and causes it to hang.

Thanks for the info. I've been using San Disk 256Mb cards for a while which seem to work fine (although one did get confused once and thought it contained stuff when it didn't so had to be reflashed).
I'll stick to Transcend when buying a new bigger one.
Thanks,
James.

That is not universally true. I have been using a SanDisk 1.0 GB Ultra II SD card in my XDA IIi for a number of months with no problems whatsoever.

Yeah, in fact i'd go sa far as to say it's not true, I'm using an Integral 60x 1Gb card and have not had any problems whatsoever.

The only problem I have found is that with 1gb cards the XDA2i seems to have a problem when accessing the card and accepting incoming communication at the same time e.g, reading the memory card whilst accepting a call or accessing GPRS. The phone seems to cut power/access to the memory card (disconnects it)and therefore makes the phone hang/freeze. This does not seem to be an issue with 512mb or lower sized cards only 1gb and above. I have tried many different brands and this seems to hold true. For SATNAV applications people advise 512mb cards or lower work best. Again this I have found to be with card accessing issues and 1gb+ cards seem to lose connection, admittedly some cut off slightly faster than others. I use a gb card for most of my apps, but if running TomTom I swap in a 256mb.

ok perhaps i shouldnt have said ONLY transcend cards but i was just trying to highlight that i know that they work fine in the XDAIIi.
Yes there are going to be more brands that work fine too, as far as i know its a voltage issue, anyway im not a htc technician so thats as far as my knowledge goes

I'm using a SanDisk Ultra II 2.0GB card with no problem at all in my Qtek 2020i with O2 rom

I have been doing some reserch into SD Cards because of this problem.
It seems to do with the layers in the card. If the card is of good quality and is a single layer they seem to work OK, if it is dual layer you could have problems.
It has everything to do with current to the card and little to do with card speed.
Single layer cards of high storage capacity are more expensive to produce, because of this even the big brands use dual layer cards.

Interesting stuff about the layers. Thanks for the info.
Has anyone tried the San Disk Ultra II Plus which is the one that can be folded so it can be plugged directly into a USB port too? They look really useful (although are hard to find at the moment at a decent price) as it means you have both USB flash memory and SD combined which I'd find useful when travelling.

Re: Single layer cards
Does anyone know the brands other than Trancsend who use the Single layer card build?
Thx

i'm using a 2GO Maxell SDcard X150 and it works fine.
no pb at all

I have 150x A-Data 2Gb. All is ok too...

I have a no-name 2 Gig crd and no issues (£84 from Novatech). Actually, 1 issue, bloody XDA locks up when removed from cradle more often than not & needs a soft reset. Other than that, zero probs...

sdhc Kaiser II TeRrIbLy slow

Hi everyone
That's my first post! I've been hanging around here withwout becomming user so long...till now.
I have just bought an sdhc card ( dont know the class ) and it's working EXTREMELY SLOWWWW on my Kaiser TyTN II (htc) when I mean slow, i mean below usb1.0
I'm using Card Export II, compatibility with Hermes devices, and when writing a single mp3 through, ~6mb it takes 5 minutes. Transfer rate is below usb 1, and that was weird, so i've checked to transfer ~6mb to anotrher microSD card (256mb old card from old phone, nokia brand) and the song was copied pretty fast, reaching usb 1.0. bitrate
Imagine to copy a 400~mb film on my new card, even i can't copy mp3 ...to slow...ah, almost i forgot it, the new card, kingston sdHC with it's HC pc card reader works exellent, usb2.0.
How that can be possible? an old card is working at least 4fold times faster!!! than my new Kingston sdHC 4gb.
Any idea?
Really appreciate.

Any idea about that?
Someone is using a Kaiser II with Card Export II? having reeeaaaly slow data rate¿
thanks

As you know, the Kaiser only supports USB 1.1 and thus (s)low speeds.
First of all, disable the Hermes workaround option. Activating the option reduced my transfer speed by half (approx.).
For large files, just use an external USB 2.0 card reader.
In the past I have done a test to get an idea of the different transfer speeds:

Just wondering: which ROM are you using and which class has your SDHC card? (Me: -G-'s DK.10 series - WM6.1 & SDHC Class 4)
As to why your transfer rates are so low, I have no idea...

Hi!
Mhhh it could be the rom....i've even tried tweaking registry parameters (increase sd bloc size, etc) with no significant success on writing speed.
I've got and kingston 4gb sdhc class 4, rom WM6 prof compilation 18125.0.4.2

I had this problem with a Kingston 8GB Class 4. I tried tweaks and other roms, no luck. I ended up exchaning the card for another one that was exatly the same, and it completely solved my problem. I think a bad one gets in the batch from time to time. It took like 2 minutes to transfer 500kb. Granted, it takes a long time to transfer files anyways, but not that bad.
I've heard this from other people as well. However,

if not mistaken, i think i've read somewhere stating that kaiser max spped is usb1.1 and class2 for sdhc (hardware limitation)

well
I jave update the rom....to hyperdragon III and things got worse....
Now, can't even connect with pc via Card Export....and the worst of all, my gps got ruined.
More than 45minutes to catch gps signal
Before flashing, with the original rom i got satellite inside home, now...now not even outside....
Gps is now spoiled.
I've used [13 January 2009] HyperDragon III Raphael OS 5.2.21009 Build 20931.1.5.0
Now i should fix the gps...any idea¿? reflashing the rom would be painful.
Thanks

The fastest transfer rate I have found was via a ftp server on the kaiser. Its called Mocha Ftp Server. Works via wifi
Hope this helps
P.S.
I dont think HDIII comes with a radio. Maybe you are using an incompatible one. Look at the list on his page and download a matching radio for WM6.1 ( as this 100% will cause issues with any radio function including GPS )

It's not only a hardware thing.. I am using an sdhc 8 gig from sandisk, and just reading/writing to it is slow (even w/ an external reader as oppossed to the one in my comp)....
I guess it's like trading off mileage for speed in a car though.............. I dunno, I'm about ready to chuck mine, good thing it only cost me 29 bucks.

It is quite simple:
No SD Wlan card ----- No WIFI.
That´s it.
Look at this:

i am installing now PDAVIET's rom does this 1 have wifi without sd card?

erm, Wifi is a Hardware, not a software issue, Get a Wifi Card (SDIO) and then you can use it, no matter what ROM You try, unlesss you have the Wifi card, you CANNOT RUN WIFI

wifi sd card thingy
i had one for wm 2003 how can i make this one capable?

himalya don't have wifi the hardware is not there
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaHardwareOverview
so if you had a win2003 rom which gave you wifi
you prob don't have a himalya device

Wifi a possibility in vogue

I did purchase the spectec micro sd wifi card in my vogue- it installs properly but for some reason the wifi network doesnt show up. Contacted spectec and they said that vogue doesnt have sdio driver installed. I finally gave up on that- but just realised that there is another possibility- I purchased a mini sd card slot from ebay and when you dissasemble the vogue you should see a empty slot next to micro sd slot and the mini sd slot fits perfectly- the micro sd wifi cards arent so stable yet but mini sd wifi cards are fine- may be you can get wifi on vogue by soldering a mini sd wifi card onto the board

Were you using a stock ROM or...?

I used both stock rom and custom NFSAN rom- didnt work for both

So did you try the mini card yet? I've noticed that slot but I wasn't brave enough to try...
Also, for the microsd, have you tried any of the new Android builds that support wifi?

the slot is not a mini sd card- it is a sim card slot

oh wow, im surprised either way lol
is there any way to get an sdio driver properly installed? or would that require stuff from HTC?

Please keep me up to date on how this project is going. I SO want the wifi capability on my HTC Touch!
