Is there a SDIO wireless lan card w/802.11g? I have been looking for one and I can't seem to find one.
Or is there a backpack sleeve that takes the Cisco Aironet wlan cards for the XDA II? :roll: :roll:
Thanks.
Hey
yeah I've been looking for one myself... no luck though
choices seem to be 802.11b or 802.11b I hear the battery life on using the SanDisk B is appauling though :roll:
hmm..
do u know if there are any backpack sleeves that would hold a Cisco Aironet Wirless Card? :roll:
-K
i doubt that it would work
at full speed
sd unless it use an external chip
is kinda poor on xcale cpu's
strongarm dont have the sd interface at all
so it use an extra chip which is much faster then
the internal xcale cpu interface
even that extera chip i doubt that it could give such a bandwidth

I've had my XDA2 for about 4 weeks and I'm so impressed with what it can do, several of my work colleauges have bought them after seeing mine.
My query is about wi-fi SD cards and peoples preferences. Which card offers better performance over others? I looked at Expansys and they have several on there site, including the Sandisk, which retails for over £100 yet are on e-bay for around £40!! Anyone recommend a good reliable card to use with my XDA? Thanks and Happy New Year.
the sandisk and the socket or whats the name is the same hardware and can share the same drivers
not sure if thats the case for all wifi cards
but the ones with onboard memory dont work with xda2's at all
I got the sandisk ages ago (without onboard memory)and it works a treat.
dont pay expansys price, that sounds wrong to me, I paid £60 when they first came out!
Thanks for the help, I'll proberly wait out on e-bay, although Expansys are still selling them at £103 http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=106495

Spectec on Himalaya with Magneto
Hello bluenovember!
I got one Spectec SD WiFi card (Mft Prod. No. WL6200480 - $89)
Does not work with Magneto 1.50i.96WWE, due unsuccessful driver installation.
Works well on YAKUMO Delta PocketPc with WM 2003 SE.
The same applies to Socket SD 802.11b PN 8510-00204A v2.1 ($95)
Does anyone (hopefully) have other experience?
I have the pocketGEAR SDIO WiFi. It only does 802.11b but only sticks out 6mm which makes it a far safer bet from a physical point of view - works great in my XdaII.
Got the wifi card how do I connect to the internet?
Hi, like Dfanton I have a Spectec 11b wlan card. (got through ebay £42)
The xdaII detects it fine, but when I press the InternetExplorer button it uses the GPRS connection.
How do I use the Wlan card? I got it to use the public hotspot in the canteen at work without having to haul my laptop about through security.
Any hints or tips would be appreciated.
Chris
Flyingvicar,
I presume you have installed the driver from the CD. If so click on it in program files to check that it is detecting the wi-fi signal and the settings match your wi-fi router.
If nothing is detected go to settings/connection/network card/netwok adaptors and choose spectec. Add your wi-fi to new settings and it should say connected.
BTW pockgetgear, spectec and computer devices .11b cards are all the same card.
y my xda2 just can't detect the spectec sd wifi????????
Safecom 802.11b PDA WiFi SDiO adapter - any good?
The Safecom 802.11b PDA WiFi SDiO adapter is currently selling on ebay for £28.49 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SD-WiFi-WLAN-...873370821QQcategoryZ58542QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) - does anyone know if this is this any good and if it will work okay with the XDA II?
(Incidentally, this is a good price as their main (non-ebay) website lists the same item at £34.99).
Many thanks

Looking into GPS receivers, does anyone have the Stellus-StarNet-GPS-SDIO-Receiver being sold on eBay?
Are BT units better?

sdio gps is ok when you absolutely don't want to have a second device around you. but i would not use one because sdio-port is then blocked for storage cards, so where to store the map data? and bt gps is more flexible for placing it somewhere where you have good signal. when using sdio gps you have to move the whole pda for getting better signals.
just my opinion.

SDIO GPS Receivers
I would agree with Peter. Also I have been told by some tech support people that the SDIO devices are generally slower to establish a fix from both a cold and warm start. I use a BT Navman 4400 that I picked up on ebay. Worked great with my xdaII, but not as well with my xdaIIs. Onthe xda IIs, I have to use a cumbersome workaround when starting and stopping the device to prevent a freeze up of the xda. Based on what I have seen on the forum, Tom Tom appears to be the most widely used BT receiver
Hi there,
I'm wondering how the "backpack for Himalaya" is working.
It has a VGA/TV output, whereas the bottom pins on the Himalaya don't have VGA out.
What do you think? How does the screen information "leave" the XDA, if there are only USB, RS232 and audio pins on the connector (according to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors )?
All help and tips are welcome!
Cheers,
Tomiki
Hi
Are you sure such thing exists ?
I know that you can pipe-out video from Ipaq H5550 through special expansion slot.
Himalaya doesn't have such connectors (only standard charge/audio/usb/serial).
The only way to get video out from it is to encode it and send via USB.
Just like Microsoft's rdisp does. (crappy.. about 10 fps, and is hard on device's CPU)
Ugh, come ON people.
Take the back OFF your device, and wonder! wonder at the extra connector I just gave your in all its goodness!
That will be £5 for pointing out the bleedin' obvious thank you.
The backpack connects here, you remove the existing back panel to fit it.
And yes, there IS a vga out on it.
Hi Pyrofel,
The thing is: I have a Blue Angel, so I'm looking for something like that on my Blue Angel ) I thought the VGA is converted into USB and leaves the XDA II on the USB, so that the same could be done on the Blue Angel as well.
What do you think?
Otherwise thanks for tlling me the obvious, sorry I couldn'T check it out without an XDA II
Cheers,
Tomiki
i dont think the backpack connector under the back cover of himalaya
are usb
for the himalaya to have 2 usb connectors you could use at the same time it
1 would have to have an usb hub
2 would have to be usb master which it's not
No, the connector under the cover isnt usb
No, vga doesnt come out over USB.
No, ive not seen the vga for Blueangle.
This is a special port, like the expansion port on the old Ipaq models.
I dont ever remember hearing about a vga backpack for anything other than xda II, obviously it sold so well they didnt bother with it on other models.
I think there is an SDIO card with vga out. I dont know where I saw it, but im sure it exists.
well i have seen usb to vga box's
but that would require
1 the pda being able to act as USB host
2 drivers for the box for pda's
i would not hold my breath
Maybe I could take the Blue Angel apart to check out if there's video out or not.
Otherwise Margi used to sell SDIO VGA cards, but it's discontinued.
I think only the Universal can act as a USB host, not the Himalaya, Blue Angel.
Well, I don't know, if somebody finds out something, let me know

and people dont even seem 100% sure that universal support host

Hi robal...where did you get this information from?
I'm trying to modify the driver for the HP VGA-Out card for use with my iPAQ h5550 with PC-Card expansion pack plus.
The card came bundled with driver for WinCE2.1 only & meant for Jornada 600 series handheld PC using Hitachi SH3 CPU.
Anyone in this forum thread got any clue how or where I can begin doing that?
Any advice in the right direction is appreciated.
Thanks!

Well I have a h5500 and I can stick in a vga card (about $120 incl ir remote) and that gives me RCA as well as svideo outputs upto 1024x768. There are both cf cards (large supply) and pccards (I have the dual pccard adapter for my 5500 along with extra battery pack).
google around for a "pocket pc" "vga card" you will find many. But you need to get the "expansion sleeve" to make it work as the 5500 does not come with any cf/pccard slots by default. There *might* be a SD vga card out there, I havent looked as I have had a 1GB sd card in there for over a year and refuse to remove it

you can make anything a USB host if its a USB client, it just takes a little bit of hardware. More than a null modem however (which is what some people sell). and yes the drivers would have to be there, all in all I dont know that it would be worth it unfortunately :/
The USB host is also supposed to supply the operating voltage for the clients, that is why the wizard charges (I presume others too) that way. If you dont you violate the spec and your devices may not work. This would put a lot of load on the battery and possibly make it run considerably hotter than it needs to.

Hi trixter!
Thanks for the reply...I have the PC Card Expansion Pack Plus & the HP VGA-out PC Card but dun have the right drivers to get them to work.
Any idea if the bundled driver(meant for WinCE2.1 running on Jornada 600 series H/PC) can be modified to work on the WM2003?
Please advice.
Thanks!
The Polaris sure seems like an amazing device. I have a HTC P3300 and I am very satisfied with it but now I plan to buy a HTC Touch Cruise to replace it.
I was just wondering what the speed of the USB connection is. Is it USB 1.1 or USB 2.0? Synching lots of movies and so on to a large memory card would be a lot faster if it could be done at USB 2.0 speed compared to the USB 1.1 speed that I can currently get with my HTC P3300.
http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_htctouch_cruise.htm
usb2
though my money will be on putting the sdcard in a sdcard reader would be alot faster then using usb1or2

Thanks, I should have thought about checking the HTC home page of course. Other pages I have looked at have been a bit unclear regarding this. You are probably correct that it is better to use an sdcard reader anyway. On the P3300 the card is placed in a really stupid place under the battery and the SIM card. It seems to be a lot better placed on the HTC Touch Cruise making it a lot easier to remove and insert the microSD card.
USB 2.0
bye mate!
USB-Full Speed
Hi,
in the HTC Cruise wiki is mentioned, that this device supports USB 2.0 full speed. So the theoretical data rate should be 12 Mbit/s.
Kind regards,

Hi everyone,
This is my first post. First of all I'd like to thank XDA family for all the support. This is a big learning website for many of us.
Now talking about the problem which I have..
Well I am planning to change my router and get another one with a USB port so that I can attach a HDD to it.
I want to know few things before I go for it..
What things should I keep in mind before buying a router with USB port and if someone can recommend me some good and cheap routers.
I want to know how to browse files on HDD thru my android device(4.2.1), if I can only read the files or read and write both.
And if it is ok to use a 2.0 HDD with the router.
Also I would like to mention here that the HDD won't be connected to the router 24x7. I'd be connecting it only when required because I read somewhere that there are some heating issues if the HDD is connected for a longer period of time.
It be helpful if someone having same setup could share the experience and dos n don'ts.
Thank you.

First of all what is your internet connection, is it cable/fiber optic or ADSL
If it's ADSL then the TP-Link AC1750 is a great choice as it's under £100 and from my personal knowledge supports and external HDD (Tested with 500GB 2.5inch HDD in a caddy. It will also supposedly support cable router connection via ethernet.
If thats too much then the lower spec version here (TL-WR1043ND) is also good but it doesn't support AC WiFi.
With the above routers you can set the HDD/Pen drive to network storage in the admin settings and I personally own one and think they're great budget devices.
Other than that if they aren't what you're looking for just make sure the routers output enough power through the USB 2/3 port and a recognise portable HDDs in order to suply the correct power output.
Also I've had my HDD connected for over a day and haven't had any heating issues but I guess it depends on the quality of the HDD/Caddy
Hope I could help

To access the files on Android you need to set them as network storage like on a Windows PC, you can do this through apps like Droid NAS.
Also AC WiFi is the latest, fastest WiFi connection like 802.11 b/g/n. You need an AC adapter to get the full speeds but it is well worth it and it's compatible with older devices like 802.11 b/g/n
