Best Wifi card? Ebuyer SD Wifi Card no longer available :( - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi,
I'm so annoyed that i waited until now to get a Wifi card for my Orange M500 (UK Magician). By the time i got around to ordering one, they (Ebuyer SD PDS Wireless Lan Card Adapter 11MBPS) are discontinued
Does anyone else have any recomendations for compatible SD Wifi Cards that are still available?
I see that Ebuyer.com sell the Sandisk 256MB Wireless 802.11b Secure Digital Card for £72.84 inc VAT but is it compatible?
Futurity

There's no reason why it should not work. The memory should come in useful anyway.

I have the spectec one, very very small.

Works a treat.

Im also using the SPECTEC with no issues

SPECTEC 820 + Modified E300 Drivers: a winner combo !

I got 2 Sandisk SD wifi cards off eBay, cost just over £50 each inc postage, they work a treat, just had a look and the seller no longer trades You can still get them off eBay but you'll have to look into how good the seller is. Hope that helps.

I use the Sandisk 256mb+wifi -- works quite well.

SD/MMC/SDIO Cards & PC Connectivity

Hi there.
Can someone tell me what cards the XDA2 can and cannot support (and also where is a good cheap place to get them in the UK)?
Also, transferring music to the XDA over ActiveSync is a real pain. If I get an adapter for my PC, are the file formats compatible?
Thanks!
I Bought a SanDisk 512MB Ultra II Secure Digital Card plus shipping and VAT for GBP115.04 from mymemory.co.uk
This was about the best price I could find for this item as well as a site which would ship it to an address different to my billing address.
As far as compatability goes you'll have to do a search or wait for one of the gurus to respond.
Kind regards
Alan

improve sandisk sdio wifi card performance

i got a sandisk sdio wifi card two weeks ago, for my brand new tsm500 (same as xdaII) and at first was very disappointed as card was very slow. Supposing was due to some special configuration of my home wireless network, i tried all the tips i know about, with no results at all. Took a look on the net and found out that most of users of this card got the same problem. but found the solution, too, on a spanish forum: uninstall sandisk drivers and install the ones from www.socketcom.com, its sdio wifi card has the same chipset. new drivers makes card much faster, has got a more friendly desing and its configuration is very easy. just try it and post the results.

Sandisk 256MB + Wifi and MDA Compact
These drivers don't work with Sandisk 256MB + Wifi and MDA Compact. I don't know witch devices doesn't work but I think it's the Sandisk 256MB + Wifi.
Do the Sockets drivers work with the standard SD WI-FI (the one without the ram) and the MDA Compact IMATE Jam?
These drivers work fine for me, using a standard Sandisk Wifi card (without extra RAM) on a XDA2
Is that the low voltage sandisk card?

Yes, it will work. SanDisk only came out with 2 SDIO WiFi devices, the first one having no storage, and the second on with 256MB of storage. SO if your card is the one without storage, it will definitely work.

Mini SD Card with Adaptor in Jam

Hi...I'm one of the ones that has suffered from 2gb cards not working in my Tmobile MDA Compact.
I'm likely to upgrade in the next 6 months to the Wizard and was going to buy a 1gb mini sd with adaptor.
Has anyone used these with the magician, and if so, do they all work or do I have to stick with sandisk ultra II's?
Yes, I have a 256mb mini sd card in my magician (with adapter) the phone doesn't see it any different.
Thanks Furby....anyone else had any problems...anyone used a 1gb mini sd in particular, and if so, which brand?
I am using a Sandisc 1 gb minisd on my magician, and it all works fine! Hopefully the 2gb minisd work also (heard theye where hispeed ones )
I'm using a generic 512MB card I bought originally for my C500.
min sd card
I am using a mini sd 1gb scan disk in my m500 and mda vario. No issues so far.
T-Mobile supplies a 256MB Mini-SD with their branded version of the HTC Magician, called the MDA Compact....
It works perfectly, although i find it strange they provided a Mini-SD rather then cheaper SD's.
Can't be T-mobile UK supplying the SD cards, as they never supplied one with any of the 6 we bought here at work!
neither have they supplied any Mini-SD's for the Varios that have been bought!
Using Apacer SD 1gig, minor problem sometimes could not detect the card. need to reinsert once a while.

4GB SD memory for XDA Exec (Universal)

Hello
do you guys know if a 4 GB SD Card will work with the Universal. I saw in one of the signatures that people are using 2GB SD Cards, was wondering what is the upper limit?
I have an AData 4GB card purchased from some dodgy geezer in Hong Kong via eBay - it works perfectly. So go ahead and get yourself one
I've got transcend 4GB SD 150x works good
I've got a MyFlash 4GB card,
works perfectly

same here.
not good
I will works fine but after you rich the maximum data with combination of software, you can encounter slow moving of any application hanging more often than usual and it will eat your battery 4x faster than normal consumption. :?
The speed of the card doesnt make much of a difference when using the it in the PPC. But you will notice the 150x SD card in a card reader for on the computer. Speeds of read and and write will be really fast, but it has no effect on PPC speeds, the PPC can only go so fast.
iv got a 150x transcend in mine working fine, well iv used it for about 4 months now, it does however have some slight issues with the camera...
before you can save images direct to the card you must have less than 2GB of space left on the card as the camera prog does not recognise anything more than 2gig, so if you try an take a pic with an empty 4gig card it will fail (unless you set images to save direct onto phone)
1 other problem i have encountered, i dont know whethere this was down to the camera, the phone or the card but, when i was away on holiday, i had around 2.5gb of audio and was using the camera a fair bit on my travells, then 1 day when i took a pic it overwrote (is that a word?) :lol: everything on my card!!! when i went into my storage space it said that the card still had 3gb taken up on card but when i went onto file explorer there would be nothing left showing on the card other than images i had taken since :roll: bit of a pain in the ass but it hasnt done me any wrong since then, still filling it with lots of audio/txt/images and no more problems (touch wood)
i had this experience with a 1GB sandisk card. I think it happens when a read or write to the SD card fails or doesn't finish [not sure here], happened twice the 1st instance I was able to use the SD card again [reformatted it with a camera, then again using Resco Explorer on the PPC] the 2nd time it happened the card was dead. Right now I am using a 1GB miniSD [in the adapter of course] which I bought for my ex-PPC [a Wizard] I plan to get a 4Gb SD card as well. If the speed of the card is only really noticeable with card readers then I'm ok with that [as I transfer songs and such via my notebook's in built card reader]. Hmm time to go SD card hunting over the weekend!!! Wonder what I'll do with the miniSD though... I have a 1Gb card in my digicam as well, maybe I can pass that off to my lil sis or something... :roll:
Ive just bought "Platinum" 4GB. It cost me 82$, here in Poland.
Universal report it have just 3,56GB but it is working as expected. Ive benchhmarked it in pocket mechanic - index:122
best reg,
Piotr
I got a Transcend 4Gb 150x SD Card [Part No.: TS4GSD150]. For around 88USD. It is reported as 3.86Gb under Resco Explorer.
I bought a MobyMemory 4Gb card from, suprise suprise, www.mobymemory.co.uk. Almost certainly rebadged from somewhere else but I though it was a good price at under £50 and works fine on my XDA Exec. They also throw in a free SD reader as some readers have trouble with 4Gb SD cards. I had to reformat the SD card under Windows XP for it to be seen by both the Exec and Win XP (as shipped, only the Exec could read the card).
Have the wiki and tomeraider on there - great for being a smartarse down the pub.

BTW,My hx4700 which is 2004's unit and it works perfectly with the 8GB CF card. so...the new HCSD card will be working too?
I am using the ADATA 4GB 150X card too,it will take at least 12seconds :shock: to boot the phone pad once I press the CALL button in device shut down mode,is that normal?
thanks,
best.

SDHC will not work on old and current devices IIRC it needs a special SDHC capable SD slot for it to work with the newer cards. Dunno when SDHC will come to mobile devices though as I fear that the trend is that manufacturer's are moving towards transflash [aka microSD] and miniSD.
my 4GB main SD card worked so well, i bought 4 more to encode movies on
now i need a better DVD ripper Wondershare pocket DVD stupid is too quirky. can't rip some DVDs, sometime frame seqences willl repeat dejavu...

kingston 8gb class 4 doesn't work on my tilt

I purchased a kingston 8gb class 4 microSD card for $20 from buy.com. The problem is that it doesn't show up on anything! I plugged it in my Tilt and nothing happened. I plugged it in my palm centro and nothing happened (although i wasn't expecting it to work on it in the first places lol). I plugged it in my Dell E1705 laptop which has a built-in card reader and it didn't read the card either.
Right now im assuming the the card is defective.......should i ask for a refund or should i ask for a replacement since i find the price to be really cheap...
Are there any hotfixes i should run in order to make sure the card is defective?
Please advise
The card reader in your Dell (at least from the specs I can find on it) does not support SDHC, only SD, which is why it doesn't work there. The same goes for the Palm Centro, so neither of those is a valid test of the card. As for why it doesn't work in your kaiser, who knows?
yea thats the thing thats bugging me out. I did download the hotfix from MS for my laptop which supposedly allows it to read SDHC cards but when i try to install the hotfix, it says i have a newer version already installed and there is no need for an update....So im assuming my laptop card is hdhc compatible
I have that same card in my tilt and it works fine....
I vote for a dead card. Return it.
Your card is definatly defective, some current computers do not detect SDHC cards, but if your tilt didn't detect it, then it's a whole different story.
Contact the seller for the exchange immediately
I agree with the other posts. Return the card and get an exchange or refund. I use a Kingston 8GB micro SDHC in my Tilt with no problems. I got it from NewEgg for less than $20 with a USB adapter, miniSD adapter and an SD adapter!
same card im also having...
just tried many sdhc patches...
atlast this one worked on my artemis.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58394&d=1195209755
hope it works for u too.....
Are you sure, that your builtin cardreader supports SDHC?? With my storage card there was an miniUSB cardreader included.
I just bought this same card over the weekend and it works fine in my Kaiser. Maybe you got a faulty card, or maybe the card needs to be formatted... Since it's new, you should probably ask for an exchange or refund.
