is there any way to upgrade the 02 xda2 to have wifi built in like xda2i?

no, that is a hardware issue.. so forget it!!

one can always use a sdio wifi card
with wm2003 the sdio wifi cards with sd mem on them dident work
havent gotten confirmation if this is the case with wm5-6 though

wifi
would a spectec sd wifi card do? im running wm6. would that work? i just dont want to have something shipped over and then find out it doesnt work.
is there any hardware mods to fit the wifi into the xda2?

if there was room which i dont believe there is then the only connection the mod could connect to would be the sd interface rendering the slot useless

Christian.. I run the spectec sd wifi card... works quite well, the only prob is it seems to drop out after 10 minutes or so if i leave it go... it seems to be intermitant but it has allowed me to skype my way round the world so it's still pretty good... just sucks to not be able to have the sd card at the same time...

wuh000...
thanks for the infos guys...wuhooo. i got a brand new spectec for around $50 aud / Php 2000. now that's what i call cheap!!

Questions on MicroSD

Hopefully an easy question for someone to answer! Will the Kaiser read a SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC card?
On another point, I have a 4GB MicroSD that no device can read anymore. I cannot reformat it as it does not show up on the device (PC, PDA or anything!). Any ideas?

1. yes
2. ??

1. Thats what I have
2. Broken card, throw it away?

Hmmm
1. Been running that for a while.
2. Make sure your PC Reader can support MicroSD before deciding that the PC can't read it (hint - putting the microSD card into the Sandisk larger shell does NOT make it a regular SD card). If you are POSITIVE your computer can read a MicroSD card, and it doesn't register, then toss the card.

Corrected above - the adapter DOES turn a MicroSD into an SD, AND a MicroSDHC into an SDHC. But, not all readers can read the HC cards (4GB and more).

This has been asked many times and the answer remains yes (the same for the 16 GB version - I use one with my TyTN II).

When you say 'anymore', whats changed? Are you still using the same microSDHC -> SDHC adapter that the card came with and a suitable SDHC compatible reader when testing it on your PC? If so, it's time to get in touch with the company that sold it to you for a warranty claim.

I had a similiar problem. While moving some music over to my 8 gig SD brand card it failed after about 3/4 of the files and then dissapeared. I've tried soft reseting and popping the card in and out and I can't get my phone to recognize it.
I need to get a new usb adapter b/c the I don't think the one I have is hc compatable (it's a few years old) so I have no idea if my computer will recognize it directly. Does this sound like a card issue or phone issue.
Running ATT WM6.1 minus bloat with a few programs (all of which have been running for a week or so no problems). Sorry to hijack, I just didn't want to open a new thread and get flamed.

i got a 4gb micro SDHC, its a sandisk. i got it to upgrade from my 2gb sd, i have read that the HC cards (sorry if the card is in the acronym) are compatible with tytn II's.
it wasn't with my original rom, and now i have tried to new roms both of which wont recognise it at all. is there anything i can do?

New owner of Kaiser,I had Artemis and Touch so far,now I want to buy 4gb micro SD card (made by Kingston) for Kaiser, Has anyone had any problems with 4gb miscro SD?Will it work smooth and without any problems?
Thanx in advance

Since this morning my device is telling me that no Storage Card is inserted. I didn't change anything and the SD has been inside the device all the time. I bought the device around april 2008. I still have to test the card on my PC at home, but I wanted to check what my chances are. What is a bigger change? That the SD card just died on me or that my device has a hardware problem?
Funny thing is that yesterday I flashed to a diffrent ROM. I did a hard reset, still no luck. Flashed with an entirely other ROM, still no luck. So I am hoping its just the SD card that broke. Would be strange if flashing a ROM would cause the SD card hardware inside the device to fail the next day.

Try to reformat the sd card with fat32. That helps sometimes.

My laptop has a SD reader but it doesnt even map the card to a drive like it usually does. Any tools that I can use?
I already ordered a 8 gig MicroSD which should arrive tomorrow.

I'm not ready to blame my Tilt for my mSDHC problems but it sure seems like theres a lot of posts out there here and other places about people having memory card problems with their Tilt. I"m going to try again but if another memory card fails I'm sending my tilt back and hopefully I can demand to at least upgrade to a Fuze for a cost.

Funny this thread came up as my 4 gig card crapped out on me recently and is unrecogniseable to any device after running the sdhc cab on it. But yea, 8 gig works just fine. Using a 16 gig now with smooth sailing

Transferring Data & Apps from old memory card to new memory card

Hi,
Sorry - I wasn't sure which forum was the best for this post...
I have a HTC Tytn II and have just bought an 8GB Micro SDHC card, and I'm about to replace the existing 1GB card in my phone now.
The only tutorial that seemed relevant is: http://www.pocketpccentral.net/help/tutorials/sd_to_sd.htm.
I have some questions:
How do I do it?
Will I be able to copy not just 'data' but 'apps' that have been installed on the card?
Any caveats? Warnings? Gotchas?
I have a card reader in my laptop - but it may be too old for SDHC cards... I'll find out soon.
You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Prembo.

???
As far as I know...Drag and drop....see what didn't in stall and see what did...apps??? hmmm..Active sync should do the trick...pm me if you still need help.
Peace
Mike

You will need a flash memory reader/writer for the PC that is SDHC compliant. The 1GB card is not HC but the 8GB card is HC. Older reader/writers are not HC capable. You will then copy the 1gb card to the PC and then copy from the PC to the 8BG card. I don't think the Tilt will even be aware of the switch.
Edit: I just read Mike's reply above and yes, that will work too. Sooner or later you are going to need a reader/writer anyway though.

??
A card reader will transfer data faster then device to pc....a reader will work fine too...remember...to use active sync...if you have it ...or mobile device center.
Peace
Mike

Thanks guys,
Will let you know how I go. Trying to copy via ActiveSync.
PS. My card reader on my laptop didn't like the micro SDHC :-(

you can just copy everything over from one card to the next. i usually keep a backup of my 4gb card on my computer, and also carry another backup card with me.
haven't tried it the activesync way though. i use a sdhc card reader. i dont' know if the activesync way will convert files that shouldn't be converted or what not.

I did a drag and drop, but my home computer was locking up (while synced), I tried using the reader on my work computer, but it kept locking up. (same situation, bought a 8gb from worst buy for $29 !!!!)
so, now, my home computer will no longer sync, and i swapped back to my 2gb card (at least my work computer will still sync), I will work on the home computer syncing issues when I get home, but so far for me, the 8gb card has been a disaster.

Micro SD card size

Hello,
i've got a new (used) mteor, with the original operating system (WM5.0). I've put into it a 4gb micro SD, but the phone does not recognize it. The card came straight out of my TyTnII, and worked fine there.
Question: does the mteor have a size limit on card capacities?
thanks.

official SD driver in MTeoR doesn't support SDHC (4GB and higher) cards.
Moreover, WM5 is not designed for SDHC either.
SDHC support had been appeared with WM6. But special SD host driver comatible with SDHC should be supplied by manufacturer. HTC didn't that for MTeoR.
There is some SDHC package for MTeoR is floating around, but it's very buggy - SDHC card disappears after sleep and requires reinsertion.
In the meantime, i've wrote my own SDHC driver for MTeoR, but it's only for my personal use.

Thanks for the response.
If i understand correctly, in WM6.1 there is a chance that this memory card will work?
I've been thinking about putting another Rom on this phone, but am a bit hesitant. I've done it on several other phones (TytnII, Neo, etc.), but have become a bit hesitant. Sometimes the new Roms become "sticky", i.e. slow.
So the question for me is, are the available newer Roms for the mteor ok? Do they run without major issues? And, which one would you recommend for relatively stable running, not "playing", if you know what i mean?
I'm just asking for an opinion, nothing else.

You do not plan to share your driver with the community?

microSD WiFi Card on xv6800?

Has anyone used a MicroSD WiFi card with a xv6800? Just wanted to know if these would work with the Mogul.
Thanks
