Micro SD Wifi - where to buy? - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hi,
I would like to ask, if somebody does know, if Micro SD WIFI exists and where to buy it. Is Micro SD same as Micro SDIO? I am really confused.

Spectec should be coming out with MicroSD WiFi shortly. You can preorder it on the Expansys website.
As for MicroSD and MicroSDIO, read here.

Does this mean that if I bought an "Micro SD WIFI" it will be able to use wifi on my Touch Dual?

But you could have a long wait.
The Spectec card has been on pre-order for a long time at expansys, and remember that it'll take the place of any memory card that you may have installed. And they're going to be expensive if/when they do appear.

It would be great if they have a wifi card with atleast 2gig also in it

Hoping it will not cost too much!

i dont why they dont just produce one that goes in the usb port then sits all along side of device so as not to stick out, and even replace the battery cover with it for extra strength! or has this been done?

Don't think the Dual (or any/many windows mobile devices) can act as a USB host though. It'd be a huge power draw though, maybe half your battery life?

It cant act as a usb host unfortunately. Its a long shot but i would personally hold off for a couple of months and see how this WIFI project unfolds before investing in something as expensive as these microsd wifi cards will be.
To answer an earlier comment about it being good if they started making micro sd wifi cards with built in memory, its been done before with normal sd cards, only trouble is that HTC devices dont like them!!

Spectec Mini SD WiFi Card, SDW-822
Hello all,
It is possible to buy it,

If you buy and test let me know please

do you know the different about MINI SD and MICRO SD???

Mini SD are bigger than Micro SD, so you can't use Mini SD on the dual.

Dont think it will plug into the MICRO SD Slot of the Hermes
well....does your hermes have an sd slot? nice find but not for the hermes....at least that model.
they do even have a version called sdg-811
look here : http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdg810.htm
hehe, look at that carefully. it is still only for SD and miniSD, not for microSD. You can put only microSD card inside adapter to have your external memory still inside - for navigation program, but final product is still only miniSD. correct me, if I am wrong...

Looking at the ad, it implies the package includes a micro-sd conversion card.

nope it would look stupid and will probably break off. Think about it. Big SD to small MICRO SD....hmmmmm
I think that sinmae is correct - the product requires a SD or miniSD slot, but to compensate for the loss of the (mini)SD slot, it provides a microSD slot to put a microSD memory card into.
Such a shame, since I just sent my Garnin GPS 20SM back to Garmin yesterday for a RMA - it's not charging the phone properly. It seems silly to have to soft-reset my 8525 to have to get it to charge, when a USB cable connected to my PC works flawlessly every time. Oh well, here's hoping it was just a defective unit. *crosses my fingers*

@JoeVulture: most USB chargers wont work with the TyTn's due to the way HTC set up the mini-USB plug (there's loads of threads on it).
What a heap of crap! I will stick to my Rikaline bluetooth.
Just when I was gonna give up on waiting for a kaiser.

Anyone tried the MicroSD Wifi Card?

I stumbled on this:
http://www.spectec.com.tw/wlan.htm
Just wanted to know if it is worth it/works good.
I've used the mini version on another phone. It worked pretty good. Unfortunately, it looks like the micro card is longer then a normal card, so the startrek wouldn't have room for it.
Built-in SD can not be used!
That card is too long!
My English is not good!
there is a possibility...
first you have to make sure the port on the startrek is SDIO capable - if it is it looks possible with a little judicious cutting (dremel or something like that) that there is enough room between the battery and the sd port for the WIFI card to fit.
You would need to be *very* careful as there are components under that raised panel and you would also need to talk to a supplier of said card for its exact dimensions.
anyone game to try it?

Very interesting.

Access SD card from Windows

With my Touch HD when i connect the phone via cable i can access the SD card like another drive. It doesnt seem to be possible with the Hero. Is it possible? Am i missing something? If its not its damn annoying to say the least!!
RTFM!
Pull down the notification screen and tap mount SD.
Call me old fashioned but i would have liked a real manual, not a PD bloody F! But thanks, saves a lot of hassle.

At least it has a couple of booklets and a sheet in my Hero, which is a lot, comparing with iPhone

Bit hard to read the manual when its on the fecking SD card... which you're wanting to view by plugging the phone into the computer... We don't all have an SD card reader

Cannot the hero view pdf files?
actually, my hero came with CD. Manual was also there. BTW I used to have problems mounting sd card... checking box near USB debugging in menu>settings>applications>development solved my problems.
funny, this was covered in the printed Quick Start guide that came in the box with mine.....

[Q] Htc flyer & micro sd 64gb

hi
htc flyer can support micro sd 64gb?!
I think all 64 gb micro SD are sdxc and I think the flyer only supports up to 32gb sdhc.
That is correct in theory, however it appears that most devices that state mini-SDHC (32GB max) compatibility work with SDXC, so it might be worth a try.
Wish I had one to try
I try mini sd 32gb and work in flyer.
any body try 64gb on flyer ?!
I wouldn't think so but you never know until you try it I guess. You might try reading here before purchasing one though - http://www.androidcentral.com/sandisk-announces-64gb-microsdxc-card-dont-get-too-excited
Sent from my HTC Flyer.
Thanks
I think micro sd 64gb not work with flyer.
anyway ... if anybody try this ... plz comment here.
I think if you have that many videos that you actually want to keep you have more serious issues..............

Lol, I have more music that that never mind videos and audiobooks. Pretty sure by the way she described here usage butterflygirl could easily fill one too.
Yes it's too much to listen to all together, but you can never tell in advance what you'll be in the mood for.
Yeah you are right, I have a music collection that's over 25 Gb, but I pared it down to 16 Gb for travel because there other stuff I will never listen to.
I have the best part of half a terrabyte of music. That is WAY more than anyone could feasibly listen to even on a very long trip for sure but I have a tendency to listen to a track or two from an album at random and move on, so it's hard to pare it down properly. If I could use OTG it would solve any problems but for now I make a day-by-day decision what to transfer from the Cloud/PC and have a few 32GB SD cards so it's no really a big deal anyway.
@globatron
Yep, butterflygirl could fill up that space. I have 12gb of manga alone....
Contest!!!
Let's see who can fill up the most space on their Flyer!
Ready, Go!
I'm surprised no one has pressed on USB host. I see random reports that people have it on their Flyer but so far no dedicated method for making it work.

I will start playing with usb host when I have Honeycomb. If I don't see HC soon in US, then I will probably try globatron's method.

Easy with source, just compile the module. I'm seeing nothing at all on the usb bus when I try with HC and I'm not bothered enough to blind port it.

As near as I can tell (with my limited ability) USB host seems to be working on the RC of HoneyComb (as used in FlyHoney) but, is not working on the final release.
I'll pop Nicki a note and see if he compiled something or if it was in the beta base. If he has things set up to compile the module it should be pretty simple to get this up and running.
Any word from Nicki on USB host?
Forgot to ask when the source landed, it is there...just seems the HTC have taken strange interpretation of the OTG standard. I was fiddling at it a bit yesterday and I can get it to go into OTG mode but it doesn't detect any attached device.

External sd card

Since the dna does not have an sd card slot, would I be able to get a adapter for micro usb to usb and then use a flash drive for more space?
that really is a good idea

Yes, USB hosting is supposed to work on this device.
So, as I posted in a different thread, why not a case that plugs in the the usb and has either flash memory or an sd slot? The make those extra case batteries, why not an extra storage case?

You have to be rooted and have a app from chainfire call root stickmount.
Update: I was told "Sense 4+ has the option for it!", so I'll have to look under settings. So it looks like you don't need root and you can turn on USB host.
Internal micro SD hardware hack?
I posted this question in another thread, but posting as reply here too. Since the J Butterfly has a micro SD slot, I'm guessing the DNA has the internal connections for a slot. Can anyone verify this? Might someone be able to develop a hardware hack to add in an internal micro SD card?

Someone posted pics of the DNA taken apart, and there is no spot for a SD Card.
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------
On another note... anyone have the DNA unlocked/rooted and an OTG cable? If so, can you plug a USB Thumb Drive into the phone, boot to recovery and see if recovery recognizes the drive? I only ask as it could serve as a SD Card to flash ROMs/Zip Mods and store Nand backups if it does... and if it doesn't, we should ask the TWRP guys to see if it is possible.
Good news and bad news...
So on the plus side, I can confirm that USB hosting works!!! I made a horrible makeshift OTG cable and it works!!
Its really nice, I tried a 4 port hub with keyboard mouse and flash drive. I love it. Now all I gotta do is put linux on here
However, space is so limited on this thing, didn't think I was gonna regret not having an sd card slot!! Bummer...
But WorldOfJohnyboy gave me hope. His idea is great. Unfortunately I was disappointed when I found that neither CWM nor TWRP picked up the drive.
I was hopeful that it was gonna work since it works perfectly on android with out any thrid party apps, but I didn't even see flashing from the drive while booting recovery.
Oh well, hopefully its something that can be worked on.
I bought a cable for $2 on ebay, plugged it into the micro usb port on the phone, stuck a microsd card reader on the other end and I can read and write to my old SD card. No problems at all here.
If you had a ton of extra storage that you wanted to access, you could get one of those hard drives that creates its own wireless network. They have mini flash-drive sized ones, but they're pretty expensive and arguably unnecessary.
Havoc, I have a feeling the reason why the recoveries didn't recognize it is due to the programming end, I.e. its not setup for it. I'm sure someone could get them to work with it though, someone smarter than me haha.
