Spectec SDW-820 wifi card - cannot use on XDA II

hey i need help regarding this new wifi card i bought.. does not seem to work on my XDA II.
Rom 1.72.00WWE
radio version 1.17.00
ext ROM 1.72.901

Hello
was there an update ? Because I see that the XDA II is in
the compatibility list
D you still have a problem ?
I wished to buy that card on my XDA II (upgraded WM 6.1)

Well, please search. There is a lot of posts around here about these spectec wifi cards. They work pretty well, but you have to find the right driver. The wm6 driver does not seem to work well on my device, but the 2003SE or the wm5 one (I don't remember which one, give a try...) works flawlessly (even on wm6.1)

hi,
i am having no end of problems with my Spectec 820 and my himalaya XDA 2.
I got it going when i was running the stock WM 2003, but i have since updated to WM5 and now WM6 and have not been able to get it running with any of the drivers off the website.
I have used all of the drivers (WM 2003, WM5 WM6) as suggested on this site when i have had WM5 and WM6 installed with absolutely no luck.
The only glimmer of hope was that when running the WM5 driver on WM6 it came up with wifi symbol on the top of the Today screen but the device wouldnt do anything else, i couldnt get a connection, it was if it recognised there was some kind of wifi card but nothing more, no networks, no searching not a sausage.
I am very frustrated as i really want WIFI but dont want to give up on my Himalaya as even now, running WM6 i think it is a great device.
I am contemplating buying a SPectec 821 but i am worried it will not work.....
Anybody ha ve any ideas?

hello
guess i can help you, by sending you this:
WM6.1 by Chandra Shekhar, the best i ever tested its rocks !
wifi, gps and all stuf, works, perfectly
hope, its gonna help you, a bit, enjoy!
thanks to Chandra Shekhar

Hello!

magician wm2005 coming soon

Hey what so happy about it? I think you misunderstood the statement.
they said, the new MDA Compact II is going to come out. and yes, its already came out, with the model name Charmer or Prophet (i forget )
so, still, no WM2005 for Magician.

Yep:
"This device is UNABLE TO BE UPGRADED to Windows Mobile 5.0".
I still think the producers are being lazy. There's no reason it should not support an Intel PXA272 base, because that's like the most common WM processor around, and its still in use too. Portable RAM, BT and Radio Stack technology hasn't changed a hell lot enough to not even have any driver support.
If this isn't forced obsolescence I don't know what is.

ya lor of course i tink its not because device not supported, but just simply : marketing and commercial issue
maybe they came out with new product and wont allow wm2005 for magician to avoid product cannibalism

I agree with you
it certainly supports wm2005

yes
it is launched with name charmer grey nad pink colour
g3 chipset

Want to downgrade from WM5 to WM2003SE

Is there a way to downgrade my prophet from WM% to WM2003SE cos i think SE is a far better OS. I've been looking for ROMs and things but cant find any. Can anyone help me please.
By the way, I'm a bit new to all this but have a solid grasp of PCs and know a bit about PDAs.
Thanks

Why would you want that?

i just dont like WM5. There are lots of little things missing that were in 2003 if i can do it, then i might as well. Can you help?

Hi, I think the S200 shares quite the same hardware with the S100, which runs under 2k3SE, maybe you should look at its roms...

s100 and s200 do not use the same cpu (s100 intel Bulverde cpu s200 TI OMAP)... they do not use the same gsm band (s200 is quad band and s100 tri-band)

If that was the case Wm5 would have been available on the S100 (cooked). The S100 and S200 have different processors which is the main reasonw why you just have to forget about putting S100 ROM on an S200.

Just to clarify, my prophet is an SPV m600 on orange. does this help?

It only helps by telling you that you can't put WM2003SE on your device... HTC, Dopod, Qtek, Imate, Orange, O2... All the same hardware just the branding changes... Unless your an expirienced programmer and you have a team to support you can't see how you could cook a wm2003SE rom to support all the SPV hardware... Hope this is clear enough... If you want a wm2003SE device buy one second hand...

Other WM6 languages than English

I noticed that HTC has released an upgrade software (WM6) to HTC P3300 (Artemis) and the software can also be downloaded in different languages.
Well, being a Finnish guy I'd like to know that if I have Finnish WM6 of P3300 downloaded, can I also flash my HTC TyTn II (Kaiser) with the same software in order to have a Finnish WM6 in it?
Actually it doesn't bother me to use English software since I'm pretty used to it but just for the curiosity I'd like to know whether that same software would work in HTC TyTn II?
WM6 = Windows Mobile 6

Hi,
As i understand, different rom cannot be flash onto different hardware.. It willl brick your device. I think i've read somewhere that somebody (maybe Schaps) doing rom with different language. I cannot point it to you since i'm browsing from my TyTN.

Hi!
I'm currently browsing from my TyTN II since there's something wrong with my WLAN connection :-(
However, could you please post a link to those ROMs when you'll be able to get back to your computer? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
