Don't see why not, I have done similar with a 3 broadband dongle SIM card. It surfs just fine in my Xperia.
Not sure about using it as a modem though.

Just a quick question about Wifi SD Cards
1. Are they worth it ?
2. Are they any good ?
3. Is there a lot of "Hot Spots" in the UK ?
The reason I ask is that my bithday is drawing close and i may ask for one as a pressie.
I have'nt got wireless at home just thinking of having one as a bit of a toy really . (Cant think of anything else I want from the mother in law besides socks He He ! )
So what I'm asking is are they worth having one for free or will it just be a gimick?
Thanks In advance
There are plenty of hotspots all over uk, also you can set up a wireless system at home by adding a router to your broadband connection and surf happily at home, in the garden or in the toilet if you wish, it is very fast and although there is a place for bluetooth when using headsets etc, the wireless system is unbeatable for surfing and data exchange.
Also is the M1000 SDIO enabled ???
yes all himalaya devices are the same hardwarewise
only the wallaby dont have a SDIO slot
but the wifi cards with onboard memory is not support by the himalaya devices
It seems that Wi-Fi consumes a lot of power, are the spare after-market batteries any good? How about batteries that are enhanced over original?
WIFI SD XDA II
Just purchased the San DIsk WI FI card M000 and it only works if you do a soft reboot. It gets a pretty good signal up to to 90%. It doessn't seem to consume too much power. I went from 90% battery to 75% battery in 2 hours of it on. But I wasn't surfing the internet I was just letting it get an ongoing signal from the hotel i was sstaying at to test it.
In fact, I was wondering what software I should put on the XDA II to support the Card and actually use it to surf. Socket or San Disk?

Hi
Just joined site - awesome! wish I'd known about it years ago!
I have an XDA2 (rom 1.72.00WWE).
noticed 'cruisin-thru' mentioned many hotspots in Uk, that's fine but you still need to locate those places.
Does anybody know of a decent (and cheap!) wifi sniffer program that will work on XDA2?
Phil.
maybe something like this?

You're selling your card?
Are you giving up on WiFi-ing or you're going to get another card?
giving up on wifi
I stayed at the 4 seasons in NYC. there were over 22 hotspots in the lobby alone. but could i could only barely get it going. no. even the tech guy who set up the wifi network at the 4 seasons couldn't get it going. You have to hold down (with the stylus) the "available" network- then you will get a "connect" menu that you need to quickly click on. It is an awkward stylus stroke and i have a palsy so i am not able to perform this movement. if you are dextrous, no problem for you. i have been on this site for 3 months but no one here told me any of this. hope this helps some one else who is going through the whole wifi thing.

thank you for quick replay. so badly that this hardware issue, not software, coz i'm just installed magneto to try support this sdio card :lol:
I know wi-fi is already available using the wireless card. but is there anyway to get wi-fi working using the sdhc card. and plse some one make custom roms for treo 750!!!!!!!!! Its sad to see that no one is working on this phone. If had that much talent, i would be working on it right now. thankks
I am wanting to run one of these with a PAYG sim on 3UK Network, to benefit from the faster HSDPA broadband access via the phone and via a USB lead to a laptop (using the Orbit 2 as a modem). Is this likely to work OK? Anyone already doing this right now?
Also will the Orbit 2 work well with Skype, as my orbit 1 is poor and the audio breaks up (even when connected to 4mbit wifi connection). I hope the Orbit 2 has cured this problem.
I would appreciate comments on the above. Thanks a lot. Tony
I just came back from holiday in UK. My German Orbit2 used for roaming either O2 UK Network or TMobile and 3G worked fine on both networks. Is it that, what you were asking for?
About Skype I don't know anything, sorry.
Thanks for the reply, but no not exactly what I am looking for. I want to use the Orbit 2 on 3UK, which is another network (unless 3UK uses someone elses network). The 3UK Network is a new network provider in the UK.....
I basically want to know if the Orbit2 will work on 3UK with a PAYG sim (NOT ON A CONTRACT) for HSDPA internet access and to use as a normal phone.
I currently have an Orbit 1 on Orange PAYG, but want to use HSDPA (faster internet access with the Orbit 2), I also want to be able to use Skype as well using HSDPA.
Thanks anyway for the reply.
If you don't get help here, you should call the provider and ask.
Because I wanted to use my Orbit2 with a prepaid SIM of O2 UK with mobile internet. And they said, I can only use it for making calls and texts, not for internet. (They weren't able to provide internet settings for the device if not in a contract.) So I was able to use a prepaid SIM but only for calls and texts.
Anyway, good luck.
3 uk network
I think I understand what you're asking.
3 will not assist you because the Orbit 2 is not an 'approved' phone for 3's network.
However, there is a cab file that permits you to spoof 3's network that you are using a Nokia N95 which is an approved phone.
I know it works because we did this for a work colleague that was sick of his Nokia and went and bought a touch cruise and we installed the necessary file.
He's generally happy with the result but does report the occasional lag on 3's network.
If you want to know more and find a link to the file I suggest you read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2229186
Best of luck and let us know how you get on.
Lom
Thanks a lot!!!!
It looks like you have sorted my problems... I will be getting the Orbit 2 in a couple of days and I will let you know how I get on. Thanks once again Lom.
ps. Any idea what the URL is for planet3 on the mobile???
Regards Tony
planet 3
Tony,
I'm not a 3 customer, but the thread I suggested you read claims this is the address for planet 3:

hi everyone
I have an ACER M900 which according to the specs it is compatible w/ att's 3g network. I have a sim card w/ iphone plan (voice+30 dollars monthly data). I can only see an H icon beside signal bar so I guess the phone has detected the 3g network. tried to configure the network setting by what has een previously posted here but w/out a success. can anyone help me? any/all info is appreciated!
Is your device running Acer's Connection Wizard? Its link, called 'CWAutoConfig.exe.lnk', should be in '\Windows\StartUp'. If you're using a Lite ROM, it is not included. You'll find it in the separate cabs folder provided by the ROM cooker. If you happen to have it running, and, yet, it doesn't work, I've found these informations about AT&T connection settings. Hope they fit your needs.
Just my 2 cents...

I just got my Sensation today, unboxed it, but it won't do anything over the internet over wi-fi. I have connected it to my wi-fi router and it says it is connected with 4 bars of signal, but whenever I try to go to a webpage it brings up the Android fault screen saying "Webpage not available", it seems to do the same thing when connected through my pc (having said that, I am less sure my settings are correct for that to work).
I have moved from a Motorola Milestone, which works perfectly on the same network.
Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Cheers,
Dave

the only thing i can personally think is try making sure your router has all the latest drivers.....better yet...try to connect to a different wifi spot to eliminate phone or router. if, with a different known working router it doesn't work, then get worried.
I'm having similar problems. With my Vodafone sim everything works fine, but with my T-Mobile sim (which I want to use until my number is ported), I get 4 bars of HSDPA signal but no data connection and the wi-fi doesn't work.

Thanks, glad I'm not the only one. I've just tried it with my T-Mobile sim, and that has the same problems. Will probably try calling vodafone tomorrow or going in store, I hold out more hope of finding someone helpful online though. My experience of store staff is not 100% positive for technical stuff.
WiFi is good on mine although I don't get a 3g signal at all at home. T mobile sim doesn't connect to internet either but hopefully that should be because the internet settings should be changed for t mobile. I'm hoping that any issue we have can be sorted with a new radio.

You'll probably need to add new APN settings for t-mobile, as the Vodafone Sensation only has the vodafone APN.
lol that what i meant. but vodafone should have a better signal that t-mobile its struggling to keep 1 bar. hope this not one of those antenna bugs that my old tytn 2 had
I've not yet tried WiFi but my mobile data is now working fine on T-Mobile with the following APN settings;
Name: TMobile GPRS
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
Enter that via the APN option in settings under wireless networks.

It looks like it is a problem with my router / network. I have managed to get wireless working on a different wireless network, so I think I need to play with my router to see if I can get that to work.
Thanks for all the help guys.
