About to buy a new phone, need some advise... - General Topics

Hi,
I've been using a Siemens SX56 for the past three years. Time to switch phone.
I don't want one of the latest phones. Features should be the same as the XDA I plus:
Camera that does MP4
Keyboard
Wifi (optional)
SD slot (not mini SD because I have plenty SD cards I'd like to keep using)
Any clues?
Many thanks, kind regards,
Marton

Sandisk 256MB + WiFi SD

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.

largest compatible SD card?

Hello
I've ordered my XDA II and i'm just getting ready for it to arrive.
I have a 2gb SD card and a 2gb MiniSD card, what im wondering is, will this card work in the XDA II straight off?
i will be updating to the wm5 aku3.5 rom available, would that make any difference?
also, i read in another post that transfer speed is limited to 1mb/sec?! is this true?
whats peoples experience like with this phone and watching movies?
ta
I regularly use my phone for watching movies, no problem. I would however recommend you download this http://mytreo.net/downloads/details-651.html?The_Core_Pocket_Media_Player .
In case you haven't seen it for yourselves, there's a thread regarding your question over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282104

[Q] Share your NFC SD CARD experience!

Update/edit :
I contacted Moneto on Facebook whether their NFC mirco SD card works with the HTC Sensation and their response was :
[T]he HTC Sensation is compatible with moneto. All the phones listed on our site have been tested thoroughly to work with our product. There other phone models that work with moneto but are not officially supported because we have not tested them.

original post:
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has tried a NFC micro sd card in the HTC Sensation. Or any other phone without internal nfc capabilities?
Did it work well?
Any problems with connectivity?
Limitations vs internal NFC?
Experience with NFC tags?
Please share your thoughts, so I know what to expect before I buy
Pretty sure we can't use NFC SD cards because we have a metallic SD slot.
Sent from my DKOS using Tapatalk 2
This is true, the drawback of the NFC SD card is it can NOT be used in metal card slot. Therefore, we can NOT use the NFC SD card due to our metallic card holder slot. You can google this and it will explain. Hope this helps!

Ok! Thanks for clearing that out!
Now you mention the metal card slot, I remember reading something about it...
I was starting to doubt because I read things like these :
The new moneto mobile wallet for Android also includes support for several additional devices, including the Samsung Galaxy SII, Samsung Infuse 4G and the HTC Sensation 4G

The moneto microSD card for Android now comes with 4GB of additional storage, and is supported on several new Android devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Infuse 4G and the HTC Sensation 4G.

Sorry, can't post url because I have so little posts
Yes, if you google the NFC SD card it states right away that it can not be used with metal card slot. Check it out, you will see what I'm saying. Not sure at all why it would state clearly that it can NOT be used with metal card holder, then turn around and recommend use with HTC sensation? Do google the NFC SD card so you can read for yourself that it says it won't work with metal card slot. Kinda crazy they recommend use with HTC sensation after making the comment it's not compatible with metal slot?? Someone should ask them about this?? Best wishes!

Update :
I asked Moneto on facebook
Hi!
I was wondering if the HTC Sensation is compatible with Moneto? According to moneto.com/getmoneto/product.php?productid=17684 it does.
However, I read "[Phones] with a metallic SD card slot won’t work" (nearfieldcommunication.org/sd-sim-cards.html) and the HTC Sensation has a metallic slot.
Can you please help me?

Thank this might be a cool holidays-gift :victory:
I will also update the opening-post, so people won't have to read the whole thread.
Apparently, Moneto uses an extra sticker on the inside of the back cover to improve the NFC signal.
video of this : vimeo.com/32297042
Anyone who knows another manufacturer?
Moneto is mainly for USA and recently UK also, but I'm from Europe (Belgium) + I'm more interrested in the NFC tags (for tasks), than the 'mobile wallet'-feature...
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

[Q] iDream 7066 Phablet import from China - UK

Hi Guys,
so after 3 days of research, about 54 hours in so far I have managed much but still got much to conquer
I have found out it has 2 os running on it (or i think it does) samsung note and htc dream. however it is a custom build (v p1000_V052
I have emailed the company i got it from asking for more information on the custom build but being a total noob on this im only so far in on my journey.
Its running 4.2.2 the only main issue with the device is the fact i cant flip the storage from external to internal as i only have 500mb to play with.
ive tried using external 2 internal but i read up it doesn't work on samsung devices which leads me to believe that the main os is the note as i cant flip it.
i am having all be it limited success in installing apps then transferring over to sd card using move to sd card app.
its frustrating that i cant find how to flip my storage over. considering it gives me the option of what storage to use!!
any suggestions?
