Sandisk 256MB + WiFi SD - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories
Hi folks,
Does anyone have any info about sites that are selling these? Sandisk website has been updated with this product in their product line.
Cheers!

In the Netherlands there is a shop, where you can put in pre-order. A few weeks ago, the owner told me it should be here this month. Maybe you can try it there.
LINK TO THE DUTCH WEBSHOP
Good luck
ps, if you somehow be able to purchase one, can you please post your experience with this card? I'm thinking to buy one too... :lol: [/url]
I wrote a review of this card a few weeks ago, and it should appear at US retailers in the next week or two, I'm told. Not sure about overseas.
I've used it with my XDA II and it works well.
From what I've heard, you need Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition to support this card; does this mean you have SE for your XDA II?
-e
WM2003 SE is most definitely not required for the card.
I tested it in a variety of WM2003 PPCs and it worked fine. At the end of last year, SanDisk had the drivers working for SE but since have developed drivers for pre-SE versions of the OS.
There wouldn't be any point in releasing the card now if it only supported SE since the Dell X30 line are the only SE devices and two out of three come with integrated WiFi.
I have this Sandisk SD Card with 256Mb and WiFi, she doesn't work on my SPV M1000/Qtek 2020 1.66 FRA. It's impossible to format the SD card and the WiFi don't work.
Do you have any idea ?
Sandisk WIFI + 256 same problem here
i can't adress the 256 Storage.... and WIFI isn't working.
I did try different ROM's ....
Does anybody know how to solve this problem ???
Well, I certainly cannot help you but I can confirm the problems.
I have a MDA 2 mysqlf and running with the 1.72 firmware.
For users who are considering about buying the card, this is what I send to the sandisk support:
After having installed the card according to your instructions and having done a soft-reset I finally plugged in the card.
I am always asked whether to format the storage card.
Even if it is formatted I am not able to access the card (as storage card).
Every time I select the AP Browser the device freezes.
Even when I turn off radio mode the green light blinks and wifi is not turned off!
Sometimes the device freezes if I go to any tab of the configuration utility.
Selecting SanDisk Wi-Fi from Settings->Connections I sometimes see the message "Card not found" but the card is definitely inserted and even blinks.
Finally I am therefore not able to use the card neither as storage nor as wifi-card.

I the same problem exactly, can you have keep us informed of the response of the support?
By using the drivers for PPC 2002 (It's strange !!!), there is a small improvement since the WiFi is finally detectable! But the 256 Storage doesn't work
Detectable - but not that useable it should be.
Please keep in mind it will definitely help if other users/owners of this card write to Sandisk. They won't care much about our issues if only a single solemn user describes it to them but it will slightly increase the pressure if every one contacts them!
(Up to now no answer from Sandisk.)
I also wrote to the technical support for this problem...
You can buy that card in Germany (they're also shipping into thw whole EU) at Reichelt: http://www.reichelt.de.
Back to the problems: Have you noticed it? At the top of PPC 2002 drivers you can read "SanDisk... SD Card" where using PPC 2003 drivers you have to wonder about "SanDisk... CF Card"!
Finally, PPC 2002 drivers do detect the card as written above but it takes an unlimited amount of time activating radio (unsuccessfully). And please notice your SDBusDriver.dll is overwritten with one which may not be suitable for the device (else Qtek would have it delivered, not SanDis).
(Short: The utility does not freeze but you can't use the card anyway.)
This SD isn't compatible with the Qtek !!!

Unfortunately due to hardware limitations with your device the sd wifi 256mb will not work.

I am somewhat angry. They have explicitely listed the mda 2 in their compatibility charts!
SanDisk Response: (07/22/2004 10:29)
Unfortunately due to hardware limitation, the MDA II is not supported on the SD WIFI 256MB card. The single function one will work fine.

SAN Disk Answer for compatibility
Your Response:
...
http://www.sandisk.com/consumer/download/sdwifi/sdwifi_compatability_list.htm My device is a PDA of the 'xda II, mda II, i-mate (HTC)' type, as the mda II is the T-Mobile MDA2 (aka HTC Himalaya - look at www.xda-developers.com). So is there any chance of making the sandisk device work proper?
SanDisk Response:
Unfortunately, we are talking about 2 different devices.
The compatibility list you have mentioned is for SD WIFI CARD (no memory). The SD WIFI 256MB card is not compatible with your device.
Remark:
no memory = SDWSDB-000-E10, 256MB = SDWSDB-256-E10
hope that helps
Thanks, Clemens.
Here are some more details I received:
The dual function card will not work in the XDA due to luck of Custom Bus driver in the unit.

Well then, does anyone know how to recover the overwritten files? (SDBus*.dll) After having previously made a hard-reset I have not been able to find them (with Resco File Explorer and by Active Sync) and now another hard-reset would not be that funny.
Or, can anyone provide the original files for the others?
Same problem.....
SanDisk Response: (07/22/2004 10:22)
Unfortunately, due to hardware limitation with the MDA II the card will not work.

Your Response: (07/23/2004 09:59)
Thanks for your answer, before I ordered the card, I've successfully tested the MDAII with your Wi-Fi SD Card (the one without memory) and it worked fine. The MDA II has the same hardware as the HTC Himalaya. Is it possible to do a software/firmware update, or is it a real "HARDWARE"-problem?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SanDisk Response: (07/23/2004 03:05)
Due to lack of Custom Bus Driver in the unit the card will not work properly. More likely there will be need for a firmware update by the manufacturer of your unit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Response: (07/23/2004 03:07)
Thanks, Finaly I have to return the WiFi -Card to the reseller where i bought it, I also tried the newest firmware (version 1.72 HTC Himalaya) and a second PDA-device with no success.... How can I be absolutely sure that the sd-card is 100% OK and has no defect?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SanDisk Response: (07/24/2004 08:52)
Are you refering to the SD CARD or SD WIFI 256MB CARD.
Okay or not the sd wifi 256mb card would not work in your unit.
Sorry not to come up with a solution, but you might take comfort from knowing that there are lots of posters who have had problems with their Sandisdk SD wifi card, me included. I'm at the end of my tether.
I am perservering with Sandisk tech support for now.
There are some useful posts if you search around with things to try to get it working, and some people seem to have had success.

4gb sdhc problem
Greetings, World. Every now and then a complete idiot writes in and asks a stupid question. Well I cannot be a complete idiot because I've had my appendix taken out, but I do have a major challenge with this old SPV M2000. I've gotten it shifted to Vodafone UK from Orange. However I've had no success getting it to notice that I've put in a 4Gb card. I assume it doesn't need formatting since it's brand new, and I haven't found how to as yet anyway. Anybody got any clues? Jim
Your phone probably doesn't support the 4GB that use the 'new' SDHC format .
SDHC driver from VOX
Is it possible to use the SDHC driver from VOX platform on Tornado? I guess the question is whether they share the same SD hardware? Thanks.
Has anyone tried whether SDHC works with any of the latest WM6 releases? Didn't read no posts in that direction... Would sure be sweet to get SDHC running on the Tornado. In fact, the option to use HC is what's pushing me towards buying a new device since I'm using my phone (C600) as a digital audio player every day.
Its a no go so far I just tried (i have 2x4gb miniSDhc cards) and Tornado with WM6 v6 does not see any card installed :-/
Thanks for the info man! To bad it doesn't work yet.
Atom life & 8GB Mircro SD *Urgent*
Dear members I would like to know from you if you have ever tried your hands on atom life with 8gb microsd[minisd adaptor]. I just bought an atom life & wish to know if it is possible to use this card. I have upgraded to WM6.1 PDAViet but don't know if that really going to work with an 8gb card. I heard now there is a support for more than 2gb so plz confirm if there are any issues involved. Regards Saksham
There is a SDHC card patch avaliable for WM5 and WM6. Not sure if it work on WM6.1. Basically what this patch does is that it allows Windows Mobile to recognize SDHC memory cards. I have the patch installed on my KS20, but i am only using 1 GB memory card, so can't confirm if it works for me. However, people report that it works. I've had no problems so far, everything is perfectly fine. My phone functions normally with the patch installed. I am sorry that i can't confirm whether the patch will work on WM6.1, perhaps an expert can help you. And before i forget, here is the link to the patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338&highlight=SDHC
so nice of you my friend. it seems it does going to work. will report back with my experience.
How use a 4GB Card on Qtek 9100 ?
Hi, I bought a 4GB mini SD-Card from amazon. Now I realize, that it doesn't work with my Pocket PC (Qtek 9100). During being in despair and searching for a soulution I read ofttimes that it is possible to use it, if I install a SDHC-driver or by installing WM6. I'm unfortunately an absoulute beginner without knowing what to do next. Any ideas what can I do to solve this problem? I have a HTC Qtek 9100. Thanks for your help! greetings, reptile_05
If it is an SDHC card you are probably on a lost cause. The Qtek 9100 was in production before the SDHC spec and cards appeared (June 2006). The price of relentless progress I am afraid.
What a pity! You know if the are 4GB-cards, which I can use for my PPC ?
SDHC cards won't work. Some SD cards > 1Gb may work, it depends on the build date of your phone. Sorry I can't be more specific. More over at this thread. :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327865 A trial and error approach my be safest. Beg, borrow or steal a card to try it out, and if successful, try to track down the exact same item. Good luck!
Trinity with WM5 - SDHC 8GB working fine
Hi there, I've been following this great forum for a long time. Congratulations to all who make this a great place to learn everything about our mobile phones. Well, I don't know if this is new to everybody here (I searched and I found nothing about this), but I've managed to see all the 8gb of a Kingston microSD (+ adapter, of course) in my WM5 (original rom) Trinity. I've tried all the cabs I've found and this one really works. Hope it works with you too. Try it and give some feedback.
Trinity with WM5 and 16GB SDHC card working Me too, I have a 16Gb Kingston SDHC card working in my WM5 HTC P3600 and also my WM5 HX2490b PDA thanks to those drivers. I was going to bite the bullet and upgrade to WM6.1 but no need to now..

I was going to bite the bullet and upgrade to WM6.1 but no need to now.. Click to expand... Click to collapse Hi. Are you saying that on Windows 6.1 and Windows 6.5 ROMS, there is no need to install any cab? In my experience with both 6.1 and 6.5, after a soft reset, my device fails to see my 4gb kingston micro. I'm still looking for a solution... has anyone tried the above cab on a Trinity with cooked 6.5 ROM like Tommei45's? Thanks, Mattster.
Grazie !!!!! Thanks a lot! It runs to 100% on my trinity WM5 with Original Italian Rom. Again, thanks to you very, very much !!!!
I did buy a Kingston micro SD class 4 with 4GB and it works on my trinity 3600 with Karmba_a Rom. Any experience with more Gigs like 8 or even 16? Regards, f
This is exactly what I'm looking for. Beside my Diamond I still use my old Trinity. I've been using this GPS WM5 ROM since came out and with 1.56 radio it works excellent. Just installed the driver, I go and buy a 16G SDHC as it said to be working. Feedback later. Thanks! Edit: Works fine! I've bought a 8 gig SDHC class6 micro card with mini adapter and have been using for weeks now. Perfect.
hey guys, what about WM6.5? Does it work with memory bigger than 4GB?
Caio said: hey guys, what about WM6.5? Does it work with memory bigger than 4GB? Click to expand... Click to collapse I'm kind of curious myself. Does WM 6.5 recognizes SDHC on Trinity? I've just installed nAr & Icke WM6.5, and my old (original) TomTom navigator 6 doesn't install. So now I have to install a new GPS program, but my 2GB SD is not enough.

Click to collapse SDHC support depends on the kernel drivers - the original WM5 trinity roms had no SDHC support, so the cab was needed. Every cooked rom based on the latest WM6 kernel for trinity has proper SDHC drivers, so no need for an extra cab. For your soft reset problem I suggest changing the rom or the card, or re-formatting the card. The SD standard allows 2GB max, and only SDHC allows bigger cards. There were non-standard 4GB SD cards when the SDHC standard was not finished, so maybe it's an early non-SDHC 4GB card? I know for shure with my WM6.5 rom I have no problems using a 8GB SDHC micro with adapter, not even after soft reset.

Click to collapse Well, since we have the same model phone, radio and ROM, can you tell me what brand is your card? EDIT: I finally got a 8GB micro-SD (with mini-SD adapter) from Ebay. Didn't need to do anything for it to work. Just opened the slot, slide it in, and "Voilá!" 7,6GB extra space
I need your help! I look to update my Swisscom Assistant XPA v1510 (HTC P3600) from WM5 to WM6 /6.1 or 6.5 (and also a newer TOMTOM-Version). But i have no idea which WM6-Version is fully compatible to my XPA v1510 from Swisscom (Swisscom herself does’t support any higher WM-Version) Where can I find the needed SW and how can I update/upgrade my XPA?
