Treo 650 WiFi

FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR FEED HERE

UPDATE: The wifi drivers no longer work with the Treo’s new firmware.

Well over at Treo Central, user ‘Shadowmite’ has created the first ever Treo 650 Wi-Fi driver set…. Thankfully he has picked us to host the file!

Go download it! PRC (mirror) or ZIP (mirror)

His instructions:

1) Copy the file to a SD card
2) Run the file
3) It will go [through] installing some files, followed by a soft reset
4) It will install some more files, and identify itself as T5 Wifi installer
5) It will ask for the Wifi Card...
6) Insert the card and press next, it should finish and reset again.
7) Rock and roll, experiment and figure it out...

Feel free to leave a comment! (for the record I am not Shadowmite – see link above)

###

UPDATE: Shadowmite has come up with even more hacks! Now he deals with custom ROMS!

How about:
A ROM with dial up networking and no RealPlayer
A ROM with DUN, no RealPlayer, no GetBC, no Download
A Rom update with DUN, voice memo, notepad, no real, no GetBC, no Download, No Quick Tour

He is on fire! Just be sure to read the Instructions

    You sound like someone who can help me maybe… I’ve been trying to get a rom update for a pda from an overseas co. called Matsunichi, i-mat IP3230. It is distributed here in the US by goldlantern.com, I bought mine at Fry’s. Anyways, I want a rom update to enable the SD slot to accept SDIO. I understand other companies such as HP have released rom updates taht do this, so I know this is possible, but I can’t get anyone from Matsunichi to return my Emails, and Goldlatern simply doesn’t give a rat’s — . Can you help me?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated…

    WiFi card drivers for Treo 650

    An enterprising Treo 650 user named Shadowmite has used the PalmOne WiFi drivers for the Tungsten T5 as a basis to create a set of preliminary–but functional–WiFi card drivers for the Treo 650. The drivers support the PalmOne WiFi card only.

    There is, unfortunately, a catch. Installing the WiFi card driver disables internet access through the cellular network. This is the case on the Sprint Treo 650s the drivers have been tested on so far, and presumably will be the case with the GSM Treos when they show up early next year. At this moment, the only way to restore access through the cell network is to hard reset the device and restore a backup from prior to the installation of the WiFi driver.

  • Another T2 User

    Has anyone gotten the Palm WiFi driver to work on a T2?

  • Jes

    The normal PalmOne WiFi software supports 802.1x and EAP authentication. Anyone know how I can get this functionality on the T650 using the above drivers? Thanks!!

    The Treo 650 Unlocked Is the only way to go, If you have a 600 there are many sites to buy sims cards and UNLOCK your locked phone, I just took the sims card out of my ATT phone, Then I tried my wifes Verizon sims card and called London, pay back is a Bitch :} Later Bill
    Ps many are working on the crack to unlock the 650!!

    Shadowmite,

    I would appreciate a patch that would eliminate the several second pause when dialing a phone number (especially with contacts) on the Sprint Treo 650.

    Your a busy man, I know.

  • cawingzfan

    I installed the prc as above. It put me into a endless series of resets. I got that stopped and did a hard reset then installed again. That took care of the endless resets, now it just reset on its own every so often. Suggestions?
    I am having probems connecting to a wireless network I should be able to connect to. It shows I make a connection, but no signal strength. Again suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • murf

    It may only work on PalmOne’s WiFi card for Treo 650. The driver does not work with SocketCom’s SD 802.11b WLAN Card.

  • Peter

    Please shadowmite do it for the T600!!!

    A lotta friends will be gladful for this!!!

    I share the same problems as cawingzfan and SK.. Has there been a solution to this? This Driver is a great, but whats the fun if the homies can’t have none? Shadowmite… someone, please advise..

  • dudeman

    i guess the treo 600 doesnt have enough power for a wifi card to work.
    c-guys is making a low power wifi card but its still unknown it will work
    on the 600.

    Hello!
    This article claim (http://www.rojakpot.com/default.aspx?location=3&var1=197&var2=0) that the Treo 650 is released in Malaisia (03mar05) and did ALLOW Bluetooth AND WiFI!

    Dear Palmfriend,

    I need the driver…..!!!!
    Where is it?

    Thank you

  • http://none bobster

    from what i have read above it seems that the wifi for a 650 will only work if its using palmOne’s wifi card and not a sandisk SDIO card, and with that if the driver is installed you wont be able to get access through your cellular network to get online, so its one or the other… is that right? or should i jus get a O2 mini???

  • Linus


    Folks,

    I have the same problem as cawingzfan, SK and Launchpad. I installed the treo650 wireless prc file.
    After it reboots twice, it asks me to insert the wifi card. I insert it, hit OK, and it says the wifi card
    was installed. After this, it goes into an infinite sequence of reboots. Shadowmite, can you please
    please help?

    Details:
    GSM treo 650, compatible with a Cingular (old ATT wireless) plan
    Phone is not unlocked.
    Palm WiFi card
    Shadowmite’s WiFi software installed via prc file

  • mdbootcamp

    why does my treo 650 keep turning itself on after its turned off with the wi-fi installed?

  • beetleman

    Any chance of doing a bluetooth driver for the zire 71?

  • Rudy

    Mental – only install this if you don’t want GPRS access, your bluetooth to stop working, and you enjoy watching your new Treo 650 resetting itself after every phone call. Also handy if you like performing a hard reset and reconfiguring everything. Other than that this is absolutely a waste of time.

    Cheers Shadowmite.

  • bagee

    I’m having the same problems as Rudy and few of the other folks are having. My Treo keeps resetting itself and more than that the wi-fi card lists all the available signals however when trying to connect says successfully connected however the connection is not established. Shadowmite are you aware of this problem? Do you intend to take a look at them when you get time? And has anyone been able to use the wi-fi drivers successfully?

    It was a great effort you have put Shawdomite in getting the drivers install but could you please spend some time to at least acknowledge that there is a problem?

    Cheers

    HI Shadowmite,

  • Daddy

    I call Palm one Today, because I had some minor issue with my 650
    After they solve my problem, I ask the status of the WiFi, and I got a strange answer, the answer was that they are working on a new set of Driver to enable WiFi on the 650, and I ask What about the Hardware, the answer was no need; they will use the existing Bluetooth Hardware
    It doesn’t sound right to me.
    Regards

  • michaelK

    Whne I get the WiFi card to work with good signal, HOW do I get on line. It looks like nothing happens! What button do I push? It’s not in my manual ofcourse, as they dont want this to work for us. I tried everything, may be I am just dumb. Let me know if anyone actually has been on line thru WiFi with your Treo 650

    Dear Mr. Shadowmite,
    Is it possible to create a driver for the Tungsten T3?

  • Gliscameria

    Odd question…

    If you get WIFI to work on your 650, and you manage to get the cell radio to work at the same time… does it seem possible to tell a notebook to use the 650 as a gateway, and write an app for the 650 to bridge the two connections?

  • Cj

    Hi,
    After I installed the wireless drivers my Treo 650 wouldn’t shut off! I’d turn it off and it would waite a couple seconds and turn back on. It just stayed in this loup. I finally had to do a hard reset and give up. Any ideas on what I did wrong? I’d really like to get it working.

    “Thanx much…Cj

  • SBS

    I just got a new Treo650 (I had a 600 before). As I run the installation everthing gets copied over to the new 650 and works, except for the 650 bluetooth application which says something like(unable to work, components missing, reinstall). So I did, ending up with the same message.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Bob are you able to pair the two at all? Meaning do you get to the point where you’re prompted to enter a passkey? And are you initiating the pairing from the LS or the Treo?

  • tipds

    In regards to Bob Mandell’s question about the BT/LS430 linkage… I read an article a couple of weeks back on this subject. I’m sorry, but I don’t recall where it was. Anyhow, it said the BT on the 650 is flakey with respect to car hands free systems. Doesn’t seem to work with Lexus, BMW, and a few others. There may be updates, but I don’t know. I was looking for a Ford compatible set, so I didn’t give it too much notice. Good luck.

    hi, i’ve installed the wifi driver on my Treo 650 which is a unlocked GSM model from Singapore and discover that when the driver is loaded, the phone keep rebooting and once reinstalled it working.
    But I noticed the camera and bluetooth don’t seems to work at all.
    Is there a new patch for this wifi card on my treo? Your kind advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Carlos

    I test the wifi driver on T650 (unlocked) with out success. But i saw that the wifi connection was actually established. I saw that may access point assign a IP address to T650 and T650 answer ping send from another PC in the network.
    I realized that when i used the wifi app the connetion was not stablished but i select “Network” option in preferences then wifi and finally “Connect” button.
    I experimented periodical resets too and bluetooth stops to work. Camera works fine.

    I HAVE THE 650 AND HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHEN I HAVE A CARD IN THE PHONE, IT SHUTS OFF PERIODICALLY OR REBOOTS ITSELF.
    NOW I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY THE ISSUE
    THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR INPUT MERRY XMAS

    All, I just purchased a Verizon TREO 650 and was wondering if anyone has figured out to enable OBEX for bluetooth, or upgrade to Bluetooth 1.2????

  • Joaquin

    Somebody know something about the Palm official driver for WIFI Palm Card?

    Thanks

  • edwin

    hi,

    what a gift for us!!!

    by the way ihave a wifi card including driver from zire72s is there any effects if im going to install it in treo 650?

  • mjsilin

    Does anyone know if this will work with the Sandisk Wi-Fi or the Wi-Fi+ card?

  • osborn

    Check out the Treo 700. You can get a wifi card for it and do everything that we are all trying to do, get on the net. Maybe Palm will have updated drivers for the 650 once the 700 comes out this month.

    Here is the web site.

    Any news on the Treo 600?

  • danielle

    hello all
    ok.. just to be clear.. i just got the treo 650 and i want to go wifi… what is the best access now?? or should i wait til the 700 becomes popular?? any help would help?? it gets confusing.. many thanks d

  • Isaac Johnson

    if your treo 650 continuously resets, all is not lost. hard reset by holding up+power and then hit the reset button. hold up + power until you see the gray palm logo. release up, then power and a Yes/No screen will appear for a hard reset. Once reset it should function as normal again.

  • Silas

    So….Treo 700W come out& immdiatley a wifi card is supported for it? Come one -wen can I get my 650 to accept an SD WiFi card!? I’m loathe to get a bulky enfora sled. Yick.

  • Suta

    I’ve got a Treo-650 and I need to work by network.I’ll buy the 802.11b SDIO Wi-Fi card,although, I have to be sure if the parch from Shadowmite is tested and works without problems.Thx.

  • Westerbrook

    Looks like we only hear from the users with problems. Anyone tried this recently and go it to work??

  • Palminister

    Does this actually get the SDIO slot working with a WIFI card on a treo 650?

    Ive read a lot of negatives regarding shadowmites patch and I dont want to screw up my treo.

    I am trying to decide which is the best, the TREO 650 or the TREO 700. Anyoone out that with pros and cons of both. Sales people sell – I need info from individuals who have used these phones and can tell me pit falls before I find them myself.

  • http://nootsworldcom NootsWorld

    I have the 650 and would like to know which wireless sd card I should get to try out the driver here. Any tried and true suggestions?

  • nokiafanboi

    The treo 700 uses windows OS instead of palm’s . It has slightly more memory because windows needs more than palm OS. It works with wifi cards out of the box.

    Could someone post which wifi cards will work with a treo 650 using shadowmites patch?

  • treo fan

    The PALM Wifi card works with Shadowmites patch. I will be geting a Treo 650 tomorrow and will go to the nearest Compusa and pick up the wifi card to try it out. Sure hope it works. I’ve been reading a lot about the Wifi possibility and I have my doubts since it hasnt worked for a lot of people. I guess its worth a try.

    Has anyone been successful recently with the Wifi card in their 650?

  • NootsWorld

    The 700 accepts the Palm Wifi card. http://www.palm.com/us/products/accessories/expansioncards/

    Do they charge for any software service to use it though?

  • cr

    as geoff said earlier, does anyone know where the drivers for the T|E are at treocentral??? ive looked everywhere but cant seem to find them. thanks

  • Treo650

    I just purchased a new Treo 650 (and Palm Wi-Fi card) in Australia and decided to install the hacked Wi-Fi drivers. During the install, I got a message stating that a newer version of the Wi-Fi drivers already existed so the installation would not proceed. I plugged the Wi-Fi card in but no Wi-Fi option appeared in the Prefs area.

    Could this article be true ?
    http://www.everythingtreo.com/news/rumors/gsm-treo-650-wifi-drivers-built-in-2005090997

    If so, would be interested in finding out some more about these so called imbedded Wi-Fi drivers. Maybe the new install CD I got with my Wi-Fi card could be used to create a newer hacked install that will work better with the 650.

  • zorbs

    Hello,,,was reading this area on the Treo 650 WIFI.I am new to the 650 and could use some advise.I am would like wifi on my treo,however Verizon is crazy to ask $45 per month…I have been reading about Unlocking my Treo 650? If I get it unlocked,would that allow me to use another carrier such as Sprint JUST for WIFI….I dont want to give up my Verizon phone number.

  • zorbs

    ….in addition can anyone recomend where to unlock my phone? There are so many sites that are probably theives! I have read many of the post here….I am a bit disapointed that the 650 does not have wifi built in…thought it did. Only have had the 650 for a week,store said I have 30 days if unhappy I can bring it back….I happen to like the verizon reception on LI.This is my first smartphone,coming from a normal cell phone…and I do love it !! Just want WI FI….also is there a way to sync wireless in my house with my router and computers? Thanks

    Thanks

  • http://www.uneasysilence.com Dan

    Unfortunately you are stuck on Sprint. Only GSM phones could be used on other networks… Sprint and Verizon use CDMA.

    Sprints can be unlocked to use on verizons network.

    So…. The hack doesn’t work with the new firmware???

    Does anyone have any updated information on this?

    I just got a Treo 650 and was fully intending to use this hack to get WiFi.

    Is there an updated version of Shadowmite’s hack? Or is it possible to get/keep the old firmware and use the hack?

    Is there a thread somewhere else discussing this?

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a few questions about Wi-fi for the treo 650 GSM Cingular

    1st. aside from the Enfora Treo 650 Wi-Fi Sled witch i hate due to its size and cosmetics. is there another wi-fi solution that works. I have seen a post saying to use the C-Guys SD-Link11b WIFI Certified IEEE802.11b SDIO Wireless LAN Card but i don’t know if it will work because I have also read another post saying that the drivers are not out yet. so im lost on this one.

    2nd question is about unlocking. I am in Europe at the time of writing this but I’m going back to the US soon to pick up two Cingular Treo 650s and i don’t have an account with Cingular so I plan to have them unlocked. do you know a good fast service to consider? I’m considering the following link and want to know if anybody has tried it?http://www.mobile2mobile.net/unlock/RemoteunlockingTreo.htm

    3ed question has to do with the fact that one of the Treos I’m picking up has a password on it and I want to know how to remove it. Can’t I reset the system or something to do this?

    ill lump together my last questions, they have to do with the many complaints about the Treo 650
    http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/techbeat/archives/2005/07/treo_650_proble.html
    Some even launched a class action suit
    http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/09/20/palm-sued-treo

    And I just read that the unit scored very bad in a SAR report

    http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/8587/treo-650-ranks-high-on-sar-report/

    After reading all this I’m quite scared about the 650. Thank god I’m not paying much for them. The questions are can they really be all that bad? is their a work around to most the problems? & without the update patch how does the shadowmite’s Wi-fi work?.. also pleas note that i never intend to use the internet with any celular provider simply because I don’t ever plan to have another contract if i can help it.

    The lack of wifi on the 650 today (August 2006) is a DEAL BREAKER. 5 months ago I bought the 650 as I love palm OS and apps and have been using them for many years happily. I tried some high end Windows Mobile devices and hated the lack of depth of apps. I realise now I should have kept my cheap bluetooth T61 Erricsson and got the TX. Then I would have Wifi that works and well integrated SMS via bluetooth.

    I live in Asia and we do NOT have internet services via phone at anything approaching the US costs so it is prohibitively expensive IF your service provider has it. OTOH Wifi is easy to get in public areas and my home network uses it too.

    SHAME on you PALM. I am trully narked at you for not implementing Wifi when every competitor of yours does. My next phone is NOT going to be a Palm. Considerign the Treo 650 is not cheap the omission of Wifi is inexcusable.

    Check out USB Modem. But beware DUN, could be against your TOS and also cost you money if you don’t have a proper dataplan.

  • JB

    Did anyone get this to work? I got it to a point on my Treo 650 where it connected to my WLAN but the the signal was zero. The card also makes my palm reset often. Maybe I did something wrong on the install? Any advice, thanks.

    Hi,

    to everyone who feels dissapointed with the “shadowmite’s hack”. Have u all tried to unplug and remove your Treo 650 battery for about 2 days??. Remove the “back-up” battery as well. As I’ve tried with the Palm Tungsten T, this can turn back your handheld to its original setting&apps. Why not, just try then !!

    thx,

    Hello to all,

    I have tried the shadowmite (final version) wifi hack on both a GSM and CDMA Treo 650. I installed both on each of the 650s (after backup). I got the endless loop on both. I did a warm reset which stopped the loop and I could then insert the card and run the WiFi setup utility. The Treo did not find the router. I directed it to the router which it found and apparently got a connection. However the indication was that the router was “out of range”. I hard reset both phones and reinstalled. No loop, but same result. Both Treos have the latest upgrade which may have something to do with the problem. Incidentlally, I used the Palm WiFi card for all tests.

    I conclude that the hack does not work. Shadomite’s last comment on the hack was that the problem is the net library, which cannot be hacked due to lack of source code.

    I guess we will simply have to wait for Palm to write Drivers.

    For anyone who wishes to try it, the final version of the hack is on Shadowmite’s site at http://www.shadowmite.com

  • http://www.icandyclothing.com Kyren

    This is very impressive and i am really greatful for your time and effort. I was disappionted to find out my 650 wouldn’t have WiFi and now I can have it! But i’m concerned about the same issues as Anson (posted above me). These drivers don’t seem to work properly and even if they by chance do for someone there are functions on your Treo 650 that will be affected so if you decide to try this make sure you back up your files.

    Quote from Adson: “I guess we will simply have to wait for Palm to write Drivers.”

    =(
    How long do you think that will take?
    If anyone has any answers on that please AIM me @ Kyren88 or MSN @ KYrenn88@hotmail.com if you can spare the time.

    Thanks!

    I recently got a PalmOne Treo. It has had this persistent problem that is really annoying and kills the battery.

    The phone will do a fresh reboot every five minutes. If you are on the phone or in an applociation, forget it. The reboot trumps everything else.

    A confounding issue is that it goes from doing this to not doing this without any apparent notice. Then, it will do it from 2-7 days and then quit doing it again for a few weeks. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN “PHONE OFF”
