WM6 and wifi (Spectec SDW-822) - Palm Treo 750 ROM Development

Hello,
I want to have two things on my Treo: WM6 and wifi. Is this possible? I know I can have one of them, but not both - WM6 or wifi on WM5.
I'm still using WM5 because I haven't heard about Spectec SDW-822 miniSD wifi card working with WM6.
I wrote tho emails to spectec, but with no answer
Anybody has good news for me?

I tried that and working fine. Just like in WM5, it will disconnet the WIFI suddenly and you need to plug in again...

Wow, I'm sooo surprised! Do you have any drivers or just put card in the slot?
Damn, that makes me want WM6 much more!

I have just installed with the WM5 driver as usual. It works! Go ahead to upgrade if you don't need Blackberry Connect.
I have downgraded it becos of BB service can't run in WM6 yet.

Ok, thanks for help

Support - what support?
Don't hold your breath waiting for a reply from Spectec! Their website is the worst I have seen for quite a while. Broken links, badly translated English and emails that bounce back from their support email addresses.
In the end I returned my Wifi card fro a refund because of this so called support.

Check your PM

I have not had success with the WM 5.0 driver and the AT&T WM 6.0 ROM.
Yes the Spectec WM 5.0 driver installs, the Treo recognizes the 822, sees a WiFi connection, asks for the WPA key but then fails to connect. From then on the WiFi settings always prompt "To Configure your wireless network, please enable your wireless network card".
I have tried the Spectec WM 6.0 Standard driver for the Motorola Q with no success too.
Any additional insight in how anyone has succeeded in getting the Spectec 822 to work on the Treo 750 with WM 6.0 would be greatly appreciated.
I also tried disabling the AT&T proxy with no success.

I have tried that driver multiple times. The driver installs fine and then the SDW-822 sees my AP and asks for the WPA key. The SDW-822 attempts to connect and then reverts in WiFi Settings to a message that says configure device.
However when I disable WPA on my Airport Extreme and reboot both the Aiport and the Treo the card connects.
Anyone else running WPA on or WPA and an Airport that can corroborate my findings?

I have been testing Devicescape's Symbian s60 beta client and it was not functioning correctly either. When the WPA encryption was turned off not only did the Spectec SWD-822 start to function normally so did the Devicescape s60 beta.
My suspicion now is an Airport Extreme update that Apple released on July 31st and I installed a day before I upgraded the Treo 750v to WM 6.0.

What about vpn connections via wifi? In wm5 when I was trying to use PIE or POutlook connection was disconnected (I had to use NetFront web browser). Is PIE working over vpn now?
Btw,
on spectec website you can download WM6 drivers for sdw-822

After turning the WPA/WPA2 on and off, rebooting the airport and soft resetting the Treo the WM 5.0 driver for the 822 works fine.

I wish to have WiFi under the cover . hidden in the SD gap, like regular SD memory card. I hate when its sitcking out of the Treo.
It's inconvenient , but need this one too

I got Voda WM6 now and drivers for Crossbow from Spectec website. Card woks just great! No more resetting to get it working - I just plug card and after 30 seconds I'm online
Still I don't know about VPNs via wifi (I got it on my university and now I have vacations )...
Btw,
I got wpa in my local network.

Hi, don't know how old this post is now...I'm running a Treo 750 on WM6, using a Spectec Wifi card. The driver is the Moto Q one off the website and I've found that I have to disable the phone, reset the handset then insert the card and it detects the card. It will always detect my network but sometimes after a while it won't connect to it...so a bit temperamental. Maybe this is some info for someone

Cant´t associate with the Ford handsfree.

Hi, I´m new heres. I have search trought the board, but not answer found.
I had no problems to connect my old Nokia 6600 phone to the integrated handsfree of my Ford Focus car.
Now, with my Qtek 9090, I can´t associate them using bluetooth.
I´ve tried with the 1.22 rom version (with some patches), and with the 1.4 rom version, and nothing happens, always get an error after typing the "0000" password.
If I try to discover the services of my Ford, the 9090 sais that no services are available.
What´s happening? What upgrade must I apply to my 9090?
Any suggestion will be great.
Thank you very much.
I had similar problem with SE HCB-700 car kit. I upgraded to WM2005 and didn't have any problems since.
And does the WM 5.0 works fine with the 9090? Not speed difference betwen 2003 SE?
Isn´t any other solution?
Solved with the OEM_ESN_124_011.sa.CAB upgrade.
is this patch spanish, what will happen if I put it on an english phone?

The latest WM5 version's speed is really close to WM2003SE's. You might want to give it a try yourself.

VPN on WM6

Has anyone gotten any of the vpn clients to work with WM6, ie bluefire, or athna...
I have used Bluefire in the past, however Activesync will not let me install it since the upgrade, saying that my device isn't supported. (most likely because its no longer showing WM5)
Any help would be appreciated.

OpenVPN
I use openvpn Ok, under WM5 it would work on wifi and edge but would not on GPRS (t-mobile UK) since flashing to WM6 now is Ok on GPRS. Only helpful if you have a OpenVPN server as an option, sorry.

maybe somebody could confirm that wifi cards that worked in wm5 works in wm6?
i mean the step from wm5 to 6 was much smaller then the step from wm2003SE to wm5

Sandisk Wifi/b Card without Memory
Hi,
My Sandisk Wifi/b Card without Memory is working after pushing the Reset.
Eject the card and reinsert it is not working you have to reset again. Is there any better driver out there? My one is from the year 2003.
Physical reset required on Socket Com E300!
I have a Socket Com E300!
I installed WM5 drivers => nothing
I installed WM2003 drivers + reset (no soft reset like with psshutXP) => OK
I think this issue is more coming from WM6, isn't it ?

Did you install any driver?
I never succeeded to make it work on my previous WM5 release so I hope it will work under WM6, not tested at all.
Thanks.
Ok i have got the Spectec 802.11b Wifi SD working perfect on WM6 just from the standard drivers you get with the CD
I tried two different types of sd-wlan cards, both works perfectly!
Spectec wlancard a/b (but the plastic was broken after a few usage)
JustMobile SDW11G it is a very fast card, i suggest you!
Both card has wm5 driver which works correctly.
I use the Spectec 802.11g SD Card. I think its model ends in 821. It's a blue SD card.
I just used the CD provided with it and it installed drivers for it on my phone perfectly. The card actually works better under WM6 then it did under WM2003SE.

Active Sync doesnt work after upgrade

Hi !!!
The issue looks like this that i upgraded my PDa to WM5, everything is working it was latest HElmi ROM . BT Wifi GPS GSM everything is great , working very fast, upgrade took me 20 min and a bottle of vine . But after upgrade i cannot sync to PC , i uninstalled sync installed one more time didnt help. I have 4.5 version of sync.
Please help me !!!
I really need to sync i have to install my GPS maps and without sync is imposible
When you have upgraded your PDA you will have to set up a new partnership in Active Sync. To do this you disconnect your PDA, open up Active Sync and then in menu File -> Delete mobile device.
Then when you reconnect Activesync should recognize it as a new device and you can setup synchronisation.
Good luck
not really, i already reinstalled the connection, i used it before so im familiar with that , but thx for trying. I sure that this is combined with that upgrade to WM5 it was working fine on 2003SE
You know what ?? i notice that when im plug in the PPC its creates a LAN connection on my computer and try to acquire IP , cant connect active sync error cant connect and on a PPC error cannot acquire the IP ... if i remember right i never had a connection , LAN connection before i installed that WM5 ... i tried disabling firewall, antyvirus , disable my internet ( its a USB modem ), im even ready to reinstall the whole windows if i have to ...... help guys !!!!
Two things to try:
Set the IP as static in the RNDIS-Adaptor (I don't have my angel handy to tell the settings)
Disable the Advance Network Functionality. (Start -> Settings -> Connections tab -> USB to PC)
Really, I'm not even sure what the RNDIS (advanced network settings) are even good for. I've not seen any less network related functionality with it disabled.
thx man... i will try in about 1 h , im at work right now, i set to class C 192.168.0.1 maybe it will work
thx a lot hopefully this will be the last post
and .... it wont work.... i getting confused..... damn SYNC

No, a class C won't work.
I just plugged in my hermes using the 'Advanced Network Functionality' and it showed an IP of 169.254.2.2. If you want to try wth that IP with the remote-NDIS host 'network card' (I think that's the one to change), go for it.
Really, I'd just disable the advanced network crap and be done wth it. Activesync is such a hack IMO, it's not worth the headache.
Yo Bro!!

Well the i just guessing the simplie thing.. Since u say u upgraded to WM5 i guess u upgrade your BA from WM 2003 to WM5?
if that true.. then u only need to change your Active Sync 4.1 to Active Sync 4.5..
WM5 n WM6 works only with Active Sync 4.5 bro!!
u can download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
happy trying..!!
its already on 4.5 dude .... and the IP 169.254.X.X its the self assigned IP address by the card , i normal circumstances it means on network that there is limited or no connectivity , but what have left ??? i will try ...wish me luck

Yes, I am quite aware of the IP and it's use, however, that is the IP range that activesync uses.
Remember, activesync acts like a NAT or bridge between the phone and the network(s) the computer is attached to.
I think it was the hermes forum that someone tried assigning the IP manually and it worked for them.
nope, it will not work, now the LAn connection created by the phone gives limited connectivity , on auto IP assigning its saying connected on the IP 169.254.2.2 , i can see recived and send send packets but the SYNC after 1 min of "connecting" timed out and says cannot connect.... its weird that its sending/receiving and SYNC is ****ed up....
HAHAHAHAH !!!!! 2 bottles of vine , 1 beer, 2 packs of cigarettes... if done IT !!!!!! you whant to know how ?????
Well Then..

Well..
- Async for the WM2003SE is Async 4.1
- Async for the Wm 5 & 6 is Async 4.5 won't work if us 4.1
since u have uninstaled the 4.1 and instaled the 4.5..
this is my ultimate opinion for u..
1. try to sync your BA to ur any friends PC which has not been instaled by Async => then instal tha Async4.5 to your friends PC n connect it via USB, then lets see what happen..?
2. try to Sync Your BA with any of ur friends PS which has Windows Vista.. it has built in Window Mobile Device Center.. n see if ur device can connect n sync with your friends's Vista?
3. if the 2 options in above doesn't work too.. it means your WM5 have some trouble in active sync bro(maybe).. then all u have to do just Re-Upgrade it..
maybe u should try WM6 ROm 6.10.00 made by Explode.. i have it instaled on my BA.. it it works wonderfuly n fast! n the Asnyc normal too.. since i have my BA being custumized from WM2003 to WM5, From WM5 toWM6(5.60.00), From WM6(5.60.00) to WM6(6.10.00) "I Never Changed my Local Area Connection to my device" i'm not even touch that area after all..
after i read your tread i try to see my Internet Protocol Settings(propeties) n it was Setted to Receive IP Automaticly..!
have i nice try bro!!
Glad to help You There.. Hope u solve the problem soon.. God Bless U

I can sync but NOT ALL things sync - i have posted elsewhere in xda-developers but I am VERY confuised.
Only SOME of my calender and SOME of my inbox sync. I am on PDAviet's rom (I tried xplodes but same issue), I use activesync 4.5 and office 2007 on my PC.
The only thing I haven't tried is re-installin outlook 2007. Is there anything else I can try - I REALLY NEED TO SYNC MY CALENDER (and other items)
Thanks!

I'm not getting any errors - it just only syncs some items and not others - why I can't figure out.
I have deleted and add numerous times - no difference. very very confusing ???

Are you using Vista or XP. If it's XP, you have to go into Settings=> Connections => USB to PC => check "Enable advanced network functionality"
In Vista, it needs to be unchecked. The problem is when you do this, ActiveSync in your PDA should have an option to connect via USB but it doesn't. I now cannot sync in Vista except by using bluetooth. I remember after buying the HTC Touch Cruise that you need the "Getting Started" installation CD to install the USB driver. I have since returned the Cruise and am back to my Siemens SX66.
