Spectec Wi-Fi card problem-again! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading

Hi all,
I have a Spectec Wi-fi card and to cut it short IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!:angry: It works fine in the morning and does not in the evening; it works fine when I do not need it and it stops working when I desperately in need of it. I have tried every single thing that was published on this forum and also xda-developers. Here is the list that I can remember:
1) The plugin plugout sequence solution
2) The original driver came with the card
3) The driver on the spectec web site
4) Flashing my Himalaya again
5) Different wireless networks
6) Resetting my modem at home
7) Throwing the card to the wall (no damage done unfortunately!)
I have an mdaII with tofclock 2.03.64WWE installed. The card cannot dedect the wireless modem and when I define it with the name and details it gives the f#@##@ unavailable message. Does any one has any idea what to do?
All the best

Spectec Driver
I may be your saviour!
I emailed spectec a while back (a year ago now!) as I had the same problems you said. They emailed back within a week with an updated driver just for me!
And where is this magical driver I hear you ask? Why... it's attached to this post!
Hope this helps,
zing

thanx zingit
the driver that you have sent seems exactly the same as they have on their web site... anyways i will try it and let u know..

SanDisk 256Mb+WiFi (Of course not working)

Just recieved my 256Mb+Wifi sandisk SDcard. But not working. I looked at the sandisk website. MDAII NOT SUPPORTED!!!!.
This sucks..... But maybe someone has a fix to get it working.... Or is it hardware limited? It seems to start, (green led goes on) but nothing more.
Even the storage isn't recognized.
I even tried it in my XDAI. Wireless is dead, but the 256Mb is recognized.
Any hints would be nice.
As far as I am aware, it is not possible to get it working. My understanding is that Sandisk need to provide a version that does work with XDA/MDA II.
dcs is right...i was advised by my supplier not to buy one like that...they told me to buy wifi card without the storage instead
Firmware update
Does the new firmware that was released the other week rectify this? as when I tried installing the sandisk software it prompted me to overwritre newer files on my xda?
which firmware update is that? checked site tocday......
ive found some interesting stuff with this card on 2003SE. Under SE - the radio works! it constantly sends probes requests out (no ssid, chanel 0 ). If you use the app to turn radio off, u can then use the app to get ver info, power settings and add profiles. when the radio is on, the app is useless. I captured sum of the frames and they have the priism headers n all. So i really think that it is the utility not talkin to the driver properly...will keep trying and let u all know....

I am downloading the Pocket PC 2003 setup from the sandisk website and testing in on the 2.06 ROM. Will keep you guys posted on the results...
Sandisk PPC 2003 combo wifi drivers - Investigation Report
Investigation:
This set of drivers from the sandisk website is no good for the 2.06 ROM.
(a) It detects the storage as per the old 1.72 WM2003 ROM and requests for format, but it never did. However, when you detach the card, it does prompt you that the card was not formatted successfully.
(b) I attempt to initiate the wifi tools with Flight turned off and turned on. It refuses to detect the card.
(c) I cold reset the device with the card attached, and attempt to initiate the wifi tools with flight turned off and turned on again. It detected the card, launched the wifi tool and freezes.
(d) I uninstalled the SANDISK WIFI tools/drivers only and install Socket Wifi drivers. It didn't detect the combo card.
(e) To double-check that the Socket wifi drivers are working, I 've went ahead and inserted the 0MB Sandisk Wifi SD card only, and the Socket Wifi tools detected this card and allows Wifi connections.
Warning: The installation of the Sandisk drivers disabled detection of unother SD storage cards. Uninstallation didn't help. I've to hard reset and restore backups.
I've tested for the 2.06.00 WWE ROM installed on my XDA2 devices only. I would love to know if someone else has managed to get this combo card working! Many thanks to the gurus in this forum.

XDA II mini - Extended Rom
Yeah, checked extended rom, and files arent there, trying to narrow it down with files in windows folder.
someone with car working...NOT ON XDAII that is
hey,
going to try something else - can someone with the card working (on whatever device type) please have a squizz in their registry (or prog dir for .ini's or whatever) i cannot see anything (interesting) written in my reg and i have a suspicion that if we hak our correct config in there, the radio *might* pick it up. As i said previously - the radio works fine but as we cant use the utility to configure, it sends its probes out with ESSID: nul and chan: 0 .
i shouldnt say this, (false hope) but my XDA II did detect my local AP at one point, well - it said 'access point MY_ESSID found' or the like. good news, as i have never entered my essid into the device. of course a) didnt note config at the time (was super late) b) couldnt connect c) cant reproduce.
has anyone been able to read/format the memory? ad tip - write proctecting the card makes it more stable (seemingly).
i think that if we dont have someone on board to re-write either the Util/Driver/SD_Driver then we should start getting a petition to the vendors going - work arounds suck.......and i want to use stumbler

Seems that Sychip is the vendor that is producing the SD Wifi card, and not Sandisk nor Socket. I've news from various quarters that it's working on IMATE-JAM that has the souped up drivers, but Sychip is not releasing them officially yet.
Wonder if Mini has the same drivers as well?

FujitsuSiemens N560 EDA Camera?!

hi ppl!
i got my PDA about 3 weeks ago and, except for a few issues, i'm absolutely happy with it....
it's a rugged FujitsuSiemens N560 - and it's got a 1.3 MP camera...
problem is, i don't have any software to take pictures with
in fact, i don't even know if the camera works yet... i read something about integrated camera software in windows mobile, but i'm guessing that's only true for the smartphone edition, since i don't have anything like that on my PDA...
i'm currently using the english Pups.777_Team WM6 rom v0.0.4, but i didn't see any camera software on my original WM5 rom either...
also, none of the camera related applications i've tried have been able to get anything at all from my camera, although i did install a camera driver which came with the pda on the SD card.
CoolCamera seems to be for phone edition only, since it won't start on my pda...
i'm also getting a "Unidentified USB device" prompt at EVERY boot / soft reset, doesn't matter if the cradle's connected or not... no idea what this could be... all of the pda's components are accounted for and working fine, except for the camera (which i already installed drivers for)...
and before i installed the camera driver i got the unidientified device prompt not only at every boot, but also at every wake up from suspend mode... which gives me the impression that the driver is working fine.
and... that's about it ;D
any suggestions? thanks for reading this
LOOX EDA
hi, I have the same FSC EDA with the same problems.
Mine is now running the standard Wm5 ,after doing a Hard reset, as advised in the manual to restore to original factory condition I lost all the camera functions and Redhalo software, included the camera driver,drawing/painting and animation software. I guess they forgot to mention that!
I also get the Unknown usb device, which I think is the missing camera driver. When I got mine it didn't come with an SD card or other software , just an Acivesync cd.
I thought that all the software was in ROM but it looks like only the basic WM5 was and a hard reset wiped the rest!
I can't find any software on the web to restore it as yet.
If you have a original SD card I would be grateful for a copy.
Hello Tino
I have had the same unrecognised USB problem. Drove me mad. I have fixed it using an original sd card I managed to track down. I did a factory reset them tapped on the file autorun.bat located in the folder 2577 on the sd card. Doing this restored RedHalo, removed the USB error & the camera works fine. There is also some backup sofware on the card. If you like I can zip the files and email them to you.
Sorry to bump an old thread - but I have exactly the same issue, annoying!
Would love an original copy of the SD

Hi Smiggers, any chance you could email me a copy of these sd card files to get my camera up and running on my N560? Would be very much appreciated if you can help.

Active Sync

Hello.
I asked the forum search about it, but cant find really an helpful answer.
I do have strong problem with Active Sync. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes, I got to install Active Sync new or drop out the device and add it new to get it done.
Button for fast data connection at the Touch Pro is enabled. Working with 4.5.0 and XP.
Can someone please get me a tip?
Hardware Problem?
I had the same problem with my TyTN II which is the reason I switched to Touch Pro.
The problem I could not synch was because of the MiniUSB connector. I had to change the main board twice. So now my wife owns the TyTN II
i solved that problem by changing another usb slot (it didn't work with USB from my monitor...)
Thank you.
I tried all 6 USB Ports and nothing helped.
Also, I tried to disconnect all other USB devices, also enabled and disabled the "Charging while connected to the PC" button.
Any other suggestions?
I also had thrown out the second device I had in Active Sync.

Have you disabled "advanced network functionality" in Settings>Connections>USB to PC ?
also try reinstalling active sync again...
@Wonkotehsame:
Yes, I disabled this function.
@ yahu:
So I did. Not just one time, many times. Always after reinstalling, it workes. Some time later, I am loosing connection.
Also, if I try to copy larger files like GPS software with appr. 1,4 Gb the transfer to the Memory card stoppes with the failure message: no such file found.
Can this be something along with the Active Sync problem?
I too have problems with this. ActiveSync says phone is set up to sync with a different computer, but it's not.
Still nobody any hint for this problem?
My problem is a little bit diferent...
My vista won't sync with my Artemis, but it syncs with my Glofiish M700..
If i change the PC (OS XP x64), the artemis syncs.....
So, my Vista Notebook is angry with my Artemis... neither USB/BT sync can be done...
Nice to hear that a lot of people have similar probs ;-)
What I have done now, deleted all of my connetions features/partnerships and made all new.
For now (maybe until Monday...) it works, but now I dont get a folder on the desktop of my mobile device. Is this an optional setting? Can someone tell my how to do?
I dont believe that NOBODY has an help for this problem.
As of today, no Active Sync in any ways is possible with my phone. Even not if I make a new installation.
Also; I made sure that all Anti Virus and Firewalls do allow all 3 Active Sync Files.
What can I do else???
Another try for the specialists:
I have copied now my Outlook.pst to a different Desktop, installed there the Active Sync. I worked w/o prob. That means, the problem got to be with the Desktop.
Last try: Who can help?

Looks like you are on your way to finding the root cause. I would try the same computer but a different user to see if it is related to the user setting.
This is what I have done last night. 2nd user, installed OL new and also Active Sync.
Nothing. Same problems.
I restarted the Desktop AND the device several times.
Nothing.
But, when I came this morning, it worked the first time.
The second it failed. I will go and purchase a new Desktop for the thanks of Mr. Microsoft!
has anyone found a real solution for this problem?? mmy computer recognizes the phone a a disk drive bt active sync does nothing. any help would be greatly apprecated
I'm getting this too. Sometimes ActiveSync works, sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out what causes it to work and not work...
Theres only two possible solutions I know of from all I've ever heard of the problem:
1. Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC. Also, I know the prompt asking you if you would like to use as a disk drive comes up if you've set your phone to be read as an sd card reader. If the pop up annoys you, try removing the SD card and trying again.
2. Hard reset.
Sorry if it doesn't seem favorable to you guys.

WMWifiRouter 1.3 & xv6700 issues

I am trying to get wmwifirouter 1.3 to work on my verizon xv6700 (wm 5). It connects to my data network fine but when i check my wifi it doesnt give me a ip address and wont surf. Is there a setting i am missing. I didnt see anything on their site that would help me
just asking... did you check for compatibility?
yes its compatible
All i can suggest is that you ask Chainfire what to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1949360&postcount=644
see? chainfire can solve everything
i will try it when i get home. can i ask whats the reason it will work on the device and not the card.....i mean whats the big difference
The ICS cab installs a service/driver. At the time in the boot process this loads (which is really early) it is possible the SD card driver is not loaded yet (and hence, fail). Also when your system is running it could pose problems if you remove the SD card. It wont crash your system probably but weird things may occur until you reset your device with the SD card inserted. This is normal behavior for services/drivers.
ok... i put the file on my card but i was trying to install it on my device but it didnt give me a option to do that. So question is where did it save and where can i go look for it to see where it installed. I also did a reset and ran the wmwifirouter software and it still didnt connect. Should i also install wmwifirouter on my phone also because right now its installed on my card
so i tried uninstalling wmwifirouter and installing it on my phone alone with the cab file and it still isnt working. is there some settings that needs to be set that its not telling us about
help !!! bump !!!
i notice it says it has to be " Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.3 " .... what does this have in it that a regular wm5 dont???

USB to PC connection missing and Wifi problems

I have searched extensively and can't find answers that work for me.
I have tried several of the latest 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 roms on my Wing (which is HardSPL'd) and almost all of them have the same issues:
1) My USB to PC icon is gone in Settings\Connections. Did MS move it somewhere else? I'm having Activesync issues and think this is why, but can't change the "advanced network setting."
2) Wifi... I tap on it to turn it on or off, and more than half the time, nothing happens. It'll either stay on, or stay off. Ideas?
I had some of the same issues with some older 6.5 roms as well. Do I need to update/downgrade some of the individual device drivers or something? I'm at a loss.
Thanks, and sorry if this repeats anyone else's posts.
I am also having similar issues. I HardSPLed my wing and after I did that successfully I decided to update my wing with SIMPLY EVERYTHING 6.5.1 BUILD 23616 so I flashed it on my wing. It's installed fine and is working but now my wing doesn't connect via active sync to my PC (same PC i used to HardSPL my wing and flash this build). The USB cable is connected firmly as it does charge my phone, just fails to connect the phone with the PC via active sync.
I would really appreciate if someone can either provide a fix for this issue on this thread or tell us a way to somehow flash the device with another ROM (from storage card somehow).
Thanks in advance.
Sort of solved...
This is the one I found that works best on my Wing:
Search forums for "Illconcepts Current Projects" (won't let me post a link)
(the 28014 Titanium at the top of the page)
It is flashed from SD card like most are now (nice!).
Occasionally (usually after soft reset) the first time I try to turn on wifi it will fail to start the wifi, but it works after that until next soft reset. Have had no connection issues with ActiveSync.
Big plus of this rom is that it's fast, is lean and leaves lots of program space. I added Office and such, but on the SD card, so I can still run Skyfire (just about every other rom I tried didn't have enough program memory free to consistently run Skyfire after I installed all my standard programs).
Only down side I see (if this is one?) is that it has old PIE, not newer version, and PIE doesn't work properly at all. Only problem this has caused me is making it difficult to download/install java apps easily, as Opera Mini always seems to give me "invoke errors" when I try to download files, and since Skyfire only seems to be detected as a "full" browser, it won't pull up mobile versions of most sites, thus won't get access to the java app links, etc. Would be nice to hear of a solution for this (preferably how to fix Opera Mini's "Opera Invoke Error")
i guess this wil help u all coz it worked for me

all you guys just need to open network cards under connections in settings. just tap the Sdio wlan wirelss adapter and then select name servers and copy the dns and alt dns as the same as in your desktops. Select ok and restart your phone..
it should work just fine...
all the best..
uh...no...
Doesn't have anything to do with DNS settings. DNS settings doesn't affect whether or not the wifi card turns ON or OFF. It affects connections. This is different, dude.
