Has anyone considered using the camera designed WiFi + memory cards - there is a 4gb one available but I dont want to spend that sort of money to upgrade the phone if its not going to work with the StarTrk
If anyone has tried this could you let me know?
regards
Jemma
Those cards won't let the phone connect to the internet; The cards connect to the network themselves for managing the photos they contain.
The device doesn't see a WiFi adapter, but rather a storage device.
man, you are not correct, you can buy a wifi MICRO SD CARD and put in the phone slot, so in theory you can conect to internet; previously you need to upgrade to WM 6.1 Pro...
WIFI MICRO SD Card is not one of these eyephoto crappola boxen.
The problem with most of the WIFI SD is that they dont have memory built in so far as I know and are longer than a standard card also, which will not fit in the Startrk
As an update to this - the OMAP850 chip has wireless capabilities built in - so whether it would possible to somehow get someone working on getting this connected to an arial and have it set up into a ROM?
It might even be possible to swap over the board for the VOX into the Startrk to provide this capability...

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.
Wondering if anyone has seen this or knows if it exists
now adays, a apple ibook 12 inch is my primary laptop
and ofcourse, the xda 1 cannot connect to a laptop via blue tooth or wifi as a wireless modem
the ibook, lacks any PCMCIA slots for expansion cards, making a gsm pcmcia card out of the question for wireless access over t-mobile
anyone know if theres a gsm usb (or firewire for that matter) adapter that can accept a sim card and act as the usual pcmcia air cards ?
apples also lack serial, parrallel (more or less anything legacy they dont have), so those are out of the question also
its getting to the point where im paying $80 a month for cell phone service ($29.95 for 300 minutes, $20 for tmobile to tmobile , $20 for unlimited data access) , not including another $20 to tmobile for a hotspot account
if i can get a gsm usb adapter, id have my friend (works for tmobile) move my gsm account to a new card, and use that with the laptop, letting me absolve myself from a hotspot acct
any ideas ?

it all comes down to supply and demand
if the demand have been great enough to give market to a such device
somebody have payed the RD cost to develop such a device
i would google the hell out of logic search pattarns to see if it give a result
though i doubt that there is such a device myself
I have been trying to use a dual sim adaptor with Athena but would not boot with it on. Anybody had any success? It will be great for me to be able to use both 3 and standard without removing the sim. it is a pain to remove it on Athena as this is under battery and sometimes needs a flat screwdriver to remove it...

Do you mean dual SIM or dual SD?
Dual sim of course not dual SD
Well, i've got an old DualSIM adaptor (anlog) which worked fine on my Himalaya.
My Athena boots without problems when i use this adaptor, but it takes me 3 or 4 restarts of the phone to get the DualSIM adaptor changin the SIM.
But i guess i have some issues with my SIMCards, they really look screwed up, makes me wonder why they work anyway
Maybe a newer Radio could have an impact on this Issue too.
Right now i use Radio 1.50 and AP Dual PK3.
If your SIMCards are screwed up the Athena won't boot, also my SIMAdaptor needs both SIMCards entered. With only one SIMCard in it, the Athena won't boot.
BTW: SIMDisplay (can be found on sourceforge.net) is the perfect Todayscreen Plugin for Displaying the active SIM.
I have one running but ...
finally I obtained a Simore dual sim working. But my problem is due I have one line for voice and other one for data, if should be possible to have some mechanism that in base to which sim is activated obtaining working the data connection or not. Do you know if it is possible?
Hi Beginner. Could you please post the model info of the Simore dual SIM you found worked with Athena? I'm currently looking for one. Thanks.

The Connection Setup Wizard will detect the network that you've just switched to and offer to set your data connection to match it. It'll do that every time the network changes.
If you're looking to buy a SIMore dual SIM adapter for the Athena, DON'T. The SIMore dual SIM won't let you connect to WCDMA network so you won't be able to use HSDPA or 3G!!!! I bought one from them and in the process of getting an RMA to return this piece of junk back to them now. Their online ad is fraudulent when they say it's 3G compatible. It is not. It only let you connect to GSM which only offers up to EDGE.
Is there any dual SIM adapter that will let you connect at 3G speeds out there?
PS: If you're only using EDGE at the moment and don't think you will ever never for the rest of your life upgrading to HSDPA, then by all means, flush your money down the toilet and buy this expensive piece of junk.
Thanks for the warning. Thought it was useful to have.
no dual sim
shame there is none yet. it will be great to have a truely dual phone. Networks will hate it
I think it could be posible but not easy to create a soft sim somehow. instead of having to change my three.co.uk hdspa compat sim between Athena (why the hack they do not do the sim reader as a slot accessible without removing battery) and my mac laptop is a nightmare. I tried to use Wifirouter, but it crashes athena quite often.

Under the factory ROM I never had it crash, even with hours of use at one time. I haven't used it under AP4 yet. Maybe you have a conflict with another program?
not installed anything apart tomtom 6 legal

Iam not sure what are you explaining.
are you using a dual sim system?
does it works? which is it?
thanks.
i tried using few none worked. I find very difficult in swaping sims without the add o a flat screwdriver, also removing battery is not fun.
I am wondering if it will be possible in developing a virtual sim card that will copy the info from our sim card allowing the phone to work with it?
I have a Sprint TP2 and a Gobi Wireless 2000 card in my ThinkPad x201 Tablet. Is it possible to program the card with the same info as my phone so that I can use the card rather than tethering to the phone for data, and avoid activating another line of service for the card? I know that it is pretty easy to have two phones share one number, just wondering if the same is possible with respect to the data card.
Thank you.
I got the WiFi only version when it was released in 2013 and I'm a bit interested to see if I can get the SIM-card slot working.
I found a spare part which would allow me to use a SIM-card (go to etradesupply.com and search for 'OEM Sony Xperia Tablet Z SIM Card and SD Card Reader Contact Flex Cable Ribbon'), but is there any other additional hardware I need, like an antenna or similar?
Do I need to flash another software as well?
Have anyone tried this?
Kind regards
Daniel

i think it's not possible, cause you'll need not only sim-slot and antenna, but also GSM chip as well.
That makes sense. Thanks for the fast reply
