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:

: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.
Hi Guys, Been a long time since my last visit here.
I have a question, I hope you guys can surely answer.
Can I use a USB wireless broadband (Reliance netconnet+) with Samsung Galaxy S II using the USB OTG?? Basically, is USB wireless broadband compatible with Android OS?? I'm planning to buy an Android tablet and I already have a USB Broadband modem, so wondering if it will work??
Hi clever android folks
needing some help..
I buy a year ago from dx.com a tablet called Vido mini 3G,,, its been really good tablet once I got it rooted and
xposed added etc
but this week I decide to try its hotspot feature since our home wan went down and had to switch to 3g and
wanted to share same SIM card data package with other devices like win8 and other androids
the hotspot aka wifi tethering just fails. it connects but stuck on obtaining ip and if manually give a ip it says connects
but no throughput happens.
has anyone got one of these tablets with JB 4.2.2 image from 20131119
and had same problem and found a solution
i suspect kernel or firmware issue.. like bad wlan driver??
the USB tethering works fine though
or better still is there a custom rom for this model I see a few for kitkat for vido N70 but I dont think its
the same hardware.
Hi All,
I am looking to convert my unlimited data (Samsung Galaxy S3) to a wifi signal but have some hurdles... 1) No hotspot feature included on cell, 2) Hotspot apps trigger an "additional fee" message from carrier and 3) don't want to brick cell by trying to root. We are currently using Easytether which is working great but are limited by the USB cable.
Is it possible to connect a cell directly to a wireless router (via USB cable) or through a desktop? Could a dongle or external adapter help us? Could we somehow adjust the built-in wireless card to connect to the Easytether adapter in the Network Center?
I realize this is probably apples to oranges but am hoping someone has a work around. I have done my homework as a noob but my head is pounding with this one. Thank you everyone in advance. ps...I do have someone who can follow your instructions

Like the title implies, I was using a galaxy s7 to connect. Now that I have upgraded, I have not been able to connect to the adapter as usual. I have upgraded firmware on the adapter to the current version. The phone also updated to its most current version. I have been able to connect to a Samsung tv via smart view. It holds the connection.
I see on Microsoft's website that listed for Android support only goes to version 5.0. Why would this protocol not work though... thought it was standard.
Anyone have suggestions?
Anyone using another dongle to connect direct to tv without having Wi-Fi available?
Regards
That is the same problem for me. I wish I had a solution. It worked perfectly yesterday. Today my note 8 got the oreo update. Now i connect, shows the screen mirror as normal, but disconnects after about 2 seconds.
Microsoft wireless firmware is 2.0.8350. Wish I could roll back the android update.
Not getting much response on here but I think I found that Samsung has stopped supporting MHL a crucial protocol for using anything other than Samsung's smart view connectivity or Google Chromecast. These are not the best options for me and a serious setback for a new phone and operating system. I hope they change their mind if not I may be looking at other options.
Many are ditching the old protocols. You just got on it at the start.
Do you happen to know if there are any non-wifi dependent screen mirror options (either wired or wireless) that will work to an hdmi source?
I guess the usb-c to hdmi would still work. Miracast is the component no longer available?
