Hello every one ,
Right so now that my SX 56 has been fixed and upgraded to WM 2003,i've got one question:
Is it compatible with those wireless wifi SD cards?
or is the model to old?
many thanx geniouses !!
No, you need an SDIO slot which these handsets don't have. Sorry.
Check this out then, i don't understand, according to this site it is compatible! http://www.pdassistant.net/Siemens/SX56.htm
"Siemens SX56 GPS capable PDA"
judging from this too then most likely they got it a bit wrong
dutr it's gps capable but only if you get an wired external
gps dongle which well does everything gpsWise and send info
over the serial port
in which case many many things are GPS capable
my old 486 pc in the attic too it have a comport too
ok so if i got it right , the update from WM2002 to WM2003 FINAL was useless if i can't use the network card option in the connections menu.
i 'm just trying to find a way to connect to the wireless internet!!
with wallaby the only have to connect it using usb to a pc which have wifi
and access it's wifi using activesync

The wallaby has no WiFi hardware. Nor can you use an SDIO WiFi card, the hardware simply does not support SDIO devices. You can use GPRS, the datacable or infrared (wouldn't recommend this since you'd have to maintain constant line of site).
So how do i do this with GPRS then cause i can 't seem to get internet explorer
recognise any WAP or WEB pages , even thought i 've got the right settings,
many thanks

I just opened this up to start discussing WiFi support for XDA I.
I understand that there is no SDIO slot in the XDA that will support the SD WiFi cards, however, there must be some smart guy/company out there that is willing to create something for WiFi capability and take advantage of the existing XDA market.
Here are some ideas for discussion:
1. Have an external device that plugs into the bottom slot for WiFi connectivity.
2. Have a company like PocketPCTechs.com that can replace the current SD slot with a SDIO slot.
If anyone knows of anything regarding WiFi support for the XDA I feel free to share. 8)
Agree. For the time being, the only way of getting connected to a LAN or WAN without schlepping your PC to act as a proxy server for pass-through would be to use a LAN/WAN-to-RS232 converter that could be plugged to the serial port socket on the XDA. I have tried a few RS232 I/O adapters with the XDA. and my results are available at:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/prutchi/xda_connectivity.doc
You'll notice that I manage to communicate with resources on the net via a terminal, but haven't been able to trick IE into accepting my RS232 feed yet.
"2. Have a company like PocketPCTechs.com that can replace the current SD slot with a SDIO slot."
yeah but unless the connectors the SDIO use are already drawn out on the curcitboard where the sd connector is located it would be a lot of work
also maybe it would require a speciel rom
i doubt there is a big enough market though for anybody to get their R&D expenses covered with a product which is being fased out
I agree with the comments and feel a Wi-Fi solution for SD would be greatly appreciated.
One track I am following came to me as I was playing with an USB GPS from a colleague( It had no brandname!) and thought the interface could be integrated to a USB Access point device, there is some coding to make the device recognizable!
"One track I am following came to me as I was playing with an USB GPS from a colleague( It had no brandname!) and thought the interface could be integrated to a USB Access point device, there is some coding to make the device recognizable!"
to give the xda GPS ?
cant see how this would give it wireless lan
No I used the GPS interface to the XDA and code for recognizind the GPS to connect to a UPS Wireless Acess Point device from Linksys. I did not buy the RS 232 Cable.
Ronin:
Can you clarify on what you did? My understanding is that you use some GPS hardware to access a Wi-Fi point of access. Is this true? And if so were you able to connect to the internet and use IE, email, etc.?
Thanks
Axe Camarao!
I used the cable for a GPS Device to connect to a USP wireless access point on the XDA( zircom USB 802.11b Access Point). I used the software from the GPS as a template to show me how the GPS got recognized as a unit. I used the standard pin configuration instead of getting a cable and sodering it.( short on time!)
Althougth, I am able to ping various sites from CRT I cannot use it with IE. I am trying to emulate the GPS reader software( which is a browser for that format) and port it to Pocket IE. Potentially, but I do not think I will be sucessfull.
This was a test, because I really wanted a small form Wi_FI for the XDA, but it is more of a nuisance than any practical application. The GPS hardware uses the XDA DLLs and heaps in an interesting fashion and will cause the T-Mobile radio Stack to cease scanning for intermitents periods while the cable is attached.
I am trying to find an SD to CF card converter and use a CF Wi-Fi off the shelf unit...
No luck with the idea of an adaptor from SD to Compact Flash and I cannot get the USB Wi Fi Wireless Acess Point to function in pIE. That tentative solution is still too cumbersome and does not have a good form function either.
I left San Disk support a few messages/email to see if they are planing to release an SD WIFI card that is not SDIO based but have no feedback yet.
Also, "contemplating "a SD Blue Tooth adaptor and creating a bridge to a WIFI hub somehow.
I did download the software for the SDIO and reviewing how it addresses the communication protocols in WM2003 and Pocket PC 2002!
Is there anyone with a SDIO phone who has one of these devices? Does it work?
Now an interesting approach can be found at:

I am sending away for one of these cables- I do have the USB Wireless Access point device and will see if it works...
Bump...
Any news on the WiFi front?
J
not that i've heard but as i see it the market is way too small for any company bothering making a wifi sd-io
I agree. We are not going to get any manufacturer to create an SD card ( when the market is evolving to SDIO anyways) so, I have some "ideas" but need some help to test them out and see if we can get WiFI for our:

Hi,
I had a query. I use GPRS to surf the internet from my qtek 2020. I want to know If I can surf on my pc using ppc (GPRS) via the USB cradle, since I don't have serial cable.
I have read lots of discussions to surf the net on ppc using pc via lan/USB etc, but none where it says how I can use a USB cradle for the reverse process.
The reason for this is, I have unlimited usage scheme for my GPRS connection. (RS. 500 per month approx. 8-9 euros only). It is much cheaper than broadband connections, therefore I'd rather connect on my pc using ppc.
Thanks
Manish
if your xda2 have wireless modem installed then you can surf from your pc using the usb cable or bluetooth or seriel or what ever you like
Problem with Modem
Hi,
I'm trying to connect to the web via GPRS through USB and IR, but I am having no luck...
I have followed the instructions and used the files on the XDA official website, but everytime I try I get a message like error 732 or "could not connect to your device" the PDA flashes yellow for a few second before the error message...
Anyone elese had this problem? Is there a solution or do I need to upgrade OS? I still have a 1.53... Orange
Thanks,
Chris
read thumper's post he looks like he can get it to work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9770
maybe he got some idears
I can now use my PPC as a Wireless modem with Ir
Thank Rudegar!
I read the post... at the beginning seemed out of topic, but then I have found the clue!!!
I think the proble was releted to the use of the SPB GPRS software... I could coonect to the GPRS service from the phone, but not using it as a modem... maybe we should tell it to the SW producer?
I also found out, strange, that the dialing string (the one with the APN" was within an extra set of "" which I don't remember to have inserted...
ANYWAY NOW IT WORKS!
Next step is to get it to work through USB... is that SW was the problem I'll have a positive answer soon!
Thanks again,
Chris
I have a TomTom Go 910 and an M3100 running WM6.
I have been using the hands-free BT connection with no problem.
However, I recently tried to set up a data connection to access TomTom Plus services through the phone over BT, and the setup routine fails every time. (I have no problem connecting to the internet over WAP from the phone in general).
Of course, TomTom support refuse to help, telling me that the phone is not supported for the 910. According to them I should not even be able to use the hands-free feature...
Before I go spending hours trying different ROMs and BT stacks etc., does anyone out there have the same setup (even with a 710 or 510) and got it to work? (No point wasting time if they are simply not compatible and no one has actually got it to work).
Thanks for your help
My very basic guess is that you need to use the Internet Connection Sharing program on windows mobile, as just paring the devices won't do anything.
So I guess I fire ICS up and and choose Bluetooth PAN and then try to see if TomTom sees it.?
I'll try tonight and report back.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Let us know how it goes. But isn't WM6 lacking either PAN or DUN that's required to establish the connection?
No luck using ICS

Well, I tried it... no luck. TomTom still insists on going through a DUN setup routine (entering access point, GPRS dial-up number, etc.) and promptly fails both with automatic and manual setup. It does not detect the PAN already running with ICS connected.
I wonder if DUN can be ported back to WM6 with CABs from WM5?
Any other ideas?
Hey
I have an Ameo; running AP4 and radio version 1.50
I can turn on wireless and it says wireless is available however thats it, i cant connect to anything nor use MSN or anything like that.
So i played around with it. I seen within some setting (network cards i think) that i had 2 wireless showing saying 'available' so i clicked connect and it said 'connecting' and then goes back to avilable and after a few attempts, unavilable.
My wifi is not secured, anyone can connect. Any help appreciated
Now as for the AP4 question when i turn my ameo around, the screen layout switches how can i turn the automated switch off ?
thanks

Start, settings, connections, wifi, network adaptors tab.
Under 'My network card connects to' ensure it says 'The Internet' and not 'Work'.
I flashed the AP4 ROM on T-Mobile Ameo. There is no chance to start Wireless. There is only a WLAN-Ícon but no WIFI-Icon
but without this the AP4 Rom is very great...

Okay, i read it and i see to run off the automated screen orintation i need VO.exe from windows which i have found, but i cant paste it anywhere, i aint sure how to assign it to anything like launcher and i cant open it directly from windows
please help

Hi Baby1111,
This ist not the solution for most of the Wifi-Problems i think. In my case the Symbol wich looks like WIFI ist named "Network Card". If I change to Internet instead of work nothing changes. WIFI does not turn on.
I saw the name of device in Bootloader ist ATHE400
Here my bootloader Information in the red bar:
ATHE400
IPL-v1.00
ATHE400 MFG
SPL-v3.50.OliNex
maybe this can be a problem, before i think ist was ATHE100. Also the TOMTOM 6 requests a new activation so somthing seems to be changed with the IMEI or so.
by reading the forum there if found 3 Cases for solution:
1. this one Change from Work to Internet ->> No scuccess in my situation
2. disable the automatic screen orientation ->> no complete Instruction how to do this or i can not understand it.
3. Sent the MAC-Adress of the device to Senior users like OLIPRO and get a file to change. ->> I dont know if they are glad to get much support requests.
I hope there will be a fix wich i can do by myself without disturbing the gurus at there great work.

@ Bit117 and Baby111
I can assist you if your WiFi did not properly configure during the flashing of AP4 instead of Olipro and cmonex (Olinex) who we'd like to have working on higher issues.
Send me a PM with your original MAC address and an e-mail address where I can send you a custom file configured to your device. I will also send detailed step-by-step instructions to fix your device. You will need to use MTTY so if you don't have that, find it in the wiki.
Regards,
Raskell
p.s. - If you do not know your original MAC address, check inside your battery door. On some models it is listed there (not the same as IMEI). Others have reported that flashing back to the modified AP3 gives a working Wifi. If this is so for you, get your MAC address from there and reflash to AP4, sending me the MAC info and we'll get you working!

Yes, this is obviously not a fix for those whose wifi will not turn on.
But I've come across a few people who think their wifi is not working because this setting is wrong, and when I installed AP4 it set it to 'Work' by default.

Hi
I had the same problem, But sorted with a Hard reset. After the hard reset it connects first time.
Good luck
Hey,
I tried multiple hard and soft resets; no luck. I have an open network now with full signal.
I have tried with no sim card, 3g sim card and an o2 sim card. No Luck
Please help.
As for screen auto orientation, sorted that

I would re-flash the 1.50 or change to 1.57 radio, if I were you.
I’ve tried out all wireless with 1.57 radio in mine after having AP4,
all reception excellent. Very impressed particularly on the Bluetooth range.
where can i get 1.57 my mate?
thanks

i connected with by wireless but when i put an URL address in the Internet Explorer and an error appear "The adress is not valid.Check the address and try agian" how to fix it?
is there any way to pick up a wifi signal on my gene which only has bluetooth... like is it possible with some sort of program that I can load? because i have a wireless network at home and wanted to be able to use my gene to get internet via this network..... but everytime i try searching for the router via bluetooth it doesn't get detected... so im hoping there is some program i can load to detect the network and use it....
Not possible, because the protocol as well as hardware requirement are entirely different, however you can use a sd to wifi card.
BTW wrong section, it should be posted on Gene General section.
