Anybody know a way to get a Sandisk Connectplus +128 wifi CF card to work with WM5 ? Drivers for WM2003 are available from Sandisk but that's all. Some of the Linux users have gotten theirs to work with Prism 3 drivers, but it didn't work for me. I've got an ipaq hx4700 with onboard wifi. I have the card leftover from an older ipaq and would like to try to make an external antenna for it rather than messing with the onboard wifi. Thanks for any help.

This forum is for HTC manufactured devices but have you tried the 2003 drivers maybe they will work
Sorry, I thought this device was made by HTC because there's alot of posts about it on another thread. Anyway, I wasn't able to get it to work with the 2003 Sandisk drivers or with some HTC customized Prism drivers from another site. The card doesn't show up at all, not even a message like "unrecognized card" (the 128MB of built in flash on the card are available however)
I may be doing something wrong, my knowledge of these things is very limited. I removed the ipaq wireless manager shortcut .lnk file from the startup folder and made sure the onboard wifi was not active but, maybe other registry changes need to be made as well.?
BTW, out of curiosity I thought I would take a peek at the onboard wifi internals. Fairly simple removing the 4 screws and popping off the plastic corner antenna cover. I noticed what looks like a connector of some kind in the wifi area: not on the wifi daughterboard but just next to it. I don't know what it is, testing connector? JTAG? or maybe antenna? I'm not about to mess with my internal wifi hardware without knowing what the hell I'm doing but maybe others would be interested. Googleing about external wifi connector hacks on PDAs I only find one guy that did it with his Axim.

can you post a pic maybe i can help you with this more then the drivers
I'll try to post a pic later.
Meanwhile I haven't totally given up on this old card. I tried installing the official Sandisk 2003 drivers again and managed to get the ipaq to "see it"' but it won't connect: the LED on the card blinks but there are no networks being detected where there should be.
BTW, for any HTC owners, here's the link to the custom Sandisk drivers I tried earlier. Probably ancient for most but might help someone.

maybe its a typo but its not HPC its HTC (High Tech Computer Corp. and is the name of the manufacture) but maybe he meant Handheld PC (came before pocket pc look at link). So the drivers are i think even before WM2002.(thats cool that they are still around maybe all these forums will still be around in ten years or more)
and he edited the drivers so that the would work on a old device, dont see that, that much

hi...i just bought an i-mate (upgraded from xda I)...i would just like to know how i would be able to connect to hot spots ie. starbucks and hotel using a wifi card....is there a specific one i need to buy? is it just plug n play? or is there a specific way to configure it? please please help....thanks
i searched, but there's sooo many wierd stuff to read. thanks in advanced people
Hi
there is only one type you should NOT BUY it is the Sandisk with memory - it definitely DOES NOT WORK
The normal Sandisk or the Socket are both working fine, each one also with the other's driver ... and that yes the Sandisk 256 Driver are as good as the latest Socket Driver (which I prefer) ...
Hope to have given you an idea
ciao
well there may be all identical except hard drive or they may be hardware changes as expansis suggests i posted this elsewhere and got no response so ive opened up this thread as a means to discuss any hardware differences in future models or revisions or to discuss speculation of what maybe changed included at least untill we have a production model to check (please not for dxiscussion of voice its being brougvht up 2many times anyway and it will have voice and if not it would not be a hardware issue only software)
spzero said:
no question of gps but !!!!!! is it just certain versains that have it or ALL the shifts, looking at expansis and on their US site they have 30GB with GPS on UK site 40GB without so is it justg the 308GB or will all models have gps?? http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=101611

i believe all the versions will have gps,since they use the same chipset like kaizer and polaris from qualcomm
i told you before that the problem is, there is no gps software for vista to work ,so why to advertise something without use, until now.
in the official site they do not say anything for gps but the gps is there.http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htcshift.html
*sorry for bud english.
and i said just use tom tom 6 or google maps from WM6 so its no big deal... and maybe someone will make a decent vista software now other umpcs are starting to ship with gps and only vista.
and we dont know for sure all versions will be the same and have gps or other things exactly the same maybe hidden things only time will tell

1.i didn't now that tomtom 6 can play with laptops and pc with external gps antenna..........google maps need connection even not gps in the new version.
2.maybe is hidden in some versions like htc3600 and you can activated after
really interesting question with GPS.
i think there is no jack for external GPS Antenna. And: if you have an Qualcomm Chipset with GPS is not really neccersary from manufactur, to deploy it with internal GPS Antenna. (See angry Users of HTC Wings and Touch Dual)
the other think is: is a interconnection between qualcomm and PC hardware? hehe, really interesting... can they talk together with all functions? ?
a navigation solution on WM6 like Tomtom is better, it dont need so much power like PC hardware and is safely from shocks Problems of the internal Harddisk.
but there a 2 big other questions:
- is there really implemented a full version of Windows Mobile 6 like a HTC Kaiser e.g.?
- what type of Harddisk is inside? 1,3" or 1,8" HDD or solide state Disk?
(harddisk type is really interesting for me, I test at the moment all SSD Drives on the market for replacement in some high end sub notebooks of our company - that´s is the purpose for the project - and evaluate the shift for replacement our sub notebooks
See my post here:

This could have easily been found using the search function. As a consideration to others, please try searching before posting. Thank you.
So, would this work?
http://www.sandisk.com/OEM/ProductCatalog(1320)-SanDisk_SSD_UATA_5000_18.aspx
hmm, your ssd drive from SANDISK has an ZIF connector. maybe the shift used a normal 1,8" IDE connector like cf cards? uhh. or not...
interesting for me: can I install windows XP for our Business too? is there drivers for the hardware available? And: i need a LAN Card for installation via Server
just to confirm my belief, the following hardware components are not wired to the Qualcomm 7200 CPU, therefore no amount of hacking/cooking of rom's will ever make them accessible from within Snapvue:
Wifi
SD Card Reader
webcam
hard drive
Is this correct? Am I missing any other components?
yes but can be re enabled. it just needs time.
OK- don't bite my head of - I greatly value your input and given the other responses in the forum know that you have / had access to the actual unit.
The question was literally about hard-wired... a physical connection between the WM part of the unit and the SD / WiFi etc. components... given your answer, you say that they ARE in fact hardwired but the software/drivers to access those components isn't there yet?
I'm on the verge of getting a device like this but if it cannot be enabled (SD card mostly) because of the physical limitation of the device I will not proceed with the 'getting the device'...
Thanks again for the clarification - your input is very much appreciated.
Isn't wifi built in the Qualcomm chip?

hi citivolus... have you ever had a HPC?
anyway, SD *is* wired to the MSM7200, the SPL can access it
i think GPS is possibly fine too
as for the wifi and hdd, i've yet to check those.
Hi cmonex, yes it's me from HPC:Factor, hence my intense interest in the WM6 side of the Shift! Sounds like you've already confirmed that we can access the SD card from within WM6. Would love to hear if you can access Wifi!
The WiFi card shows up as an SDIO interface Marvell sd8688 wireless LAN SDIO adapter under Vista. That should mean it's possible to access it under WinMo.

lol, hey there
well just to be clear, all i can say is the SPL can access it, so hopefully only the driver needs to be found... as far as i know beta roms had it. i'm sure we can see that soon.
as for the wifi, yes it is an SDIO wifi adapter built in, that's all we know so far but that sounds promising.
does the webcam work in WM6? you can test this with Microsoft Portrait.
thanks!

It gives errors such as 'get camera information failed' and 'can't retrieve camera info'.
hi everyone, i was wondering if anyone uses this WiFi add-in Card. i use an E-TEN G500 (WinMo 5.0), so i use this WiFi card. i am having a problem, and their support team doesn't really help.
i bought it about 7 months ago, and i worked great until about 2 months ago. the blinking green light blinks and flashes (on the card), but it doesn't seem to wanna find a hotspot, even if i am standing next to my wifi router at home. Now i remember using the driver provided on the website for best stability and reliability, but i am curious as to whether the driver on the website is different than the version on the CD that was packed with the card. Also, i was trying different drivers provided from website (the WM 2003 with WLAN utility that supposedly is compatable with WM 5, the WM 5 exclusive driver, & WM 5.0 exclusive driver). 1) Which driver am i supposed to use; & 2) Does anyone have any problems with This card like i do? Like i said, the card worksa as far as mechanics (blinking green light) but my device/WiFi card doesn't seem to read any hotspots available. it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can shed some light on this and if anyone has any recommendations to any other Mini SD WiFi Card as i can't seem to find another card like this. Thanks all
its the Mini SD card (SDW-822, even though the driver doesnt descriminate between the 820 and 822), not the regular sized one. i was also reading about a "modified E300 WiFi card driver" Where can i find one and how can i download it if its gonna solve my problems?
I bought htc and i have few problems so i hope that some one can help me.
I dunno how to connect my htc and pc with usb, how to send files from one cell phone to htc and how to find memory card (micro sd)
So i hope that some one can help me

Welcome to XDA-Dev
One step at a time with this one I think.
First, can we assume you have a USB lead/cable?
If you have and you have connected it between your phone and PC - what happens?
Mike
Did you get a manual with it as all this is covered in there. It REALLY helps to, at least, glance at the sections you're having problems with...
For memory card though, how big is it? If its bigger than 2Gb and, I'll assume you're running wm06, You need to either have upgraded to wm06 (as some versions weren't sdhc compatable) or flashed a cooked rom. Otherwise install this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58063&d=1194986892
It also helps things if you format the sd card fat32 before doing anything else as it makes life easier later.
To send files use bluetooth... Read on how to start it and pair with a device in your manual.
Cheers...
Firstly welcome to xda developers
try installing active sync, if you are using windows XP or Windows mobile device center if using vista then you can connect the phone to the pc via usb & or bluetooth
go here for either version
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx
finding a memory card isnt that difficult, to send files to the htc from another phone just bluetooth it over , but you need to switch bluetooth on first, obviously.
By the sounds of things ultramags69's advice is the best ,at least read the user manual before asking easy to find answers.
I would also try to explain in greater detail exactly what you are trying to do , then maybe you will get more precise instructions
