File explorer freezes every time I try to delete or copy/paste/cut a file. Any clue about that? Thanks.
hey mate,
this sometimes happens to me as well. i cut or copy a file; then paste it somewhere. the cursor is working but basically the unit hangs. when you do a soft reset you'll find that the file you wanted to be transferred or copied has already been pasted in the place you wanted. strange. and sorry but i have no idea what this bug is.
cheers

Hey Rob,
Someone gave me a solution to that strange problem: you have to eject any SD card, do a soft reset, introduce ur SD card back and file explorer works fine again. I've tried it and it works.
Regards
hey elio,
it does work; cheers for that one! also tried ejecting the sd-card, then trying out file explorer and it didn't hang. so is it possible that the sd card is actually slowing down the explorer app? interesting; must be one of those microsoft bugs again.
thanks!

I have installed TomTom 5 on my SD card, all working well.
I have one irritating problem however, whenever I remove and then reinstall my SD card, it automatically launches tomtom.
I've tried to stop the auto starting with the usual registry entries for START, etc, however nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know how to stop the SD card autolaunching this app?
The problem is caused by the folder 2577 on your Storage Card. IF you delete the Tomtom cabs from this folder it will stop happening. Alternatively you could rename the 2577 folder in case you need to install the software agin away from your computer.

Is there an app in the root of the SD card called start.exe? Also, when you insert an SD card it will automatically run stuff which is present in the "2577" directory if it exists. This is responsible for installing the app initially. Try renaming 2577 to something else and see if it still happens. If it does, try renaming the start app.
That's spooky findus... maybe we should get a room?! [j/k] :lol:
lol
Brilliant, such speedy response, and a positive result. Thanks guys, this works! Has been bugging me for months. Cheers
Is this a bug of Windows 2003 SE ?
I was waiting TomTom to connect to the Bluetooth GPS and I tought it was too long (about 5 minutes). Then I remembered that the Flight mode was on. But I decided to do SOFT-RESET. I used the soft-reset button from Spb Plus.
After the soft-reset, I turn off the flight mode, but I cant. I know that I must manually turn on the phone. Well, ok, I hit the TomTom icon.
What? TomTom said "NO MAP" !
And I checked the sd card (1 GB), it was empty !!! Only "Temporary Internet Folder".
How come? Is this somekind of bug?
I hate this because I need GPS functionality, I am on holiday
I checked the sd card using file explorer (Resco) and indeed, it is empty.
So, be prepared for something like this! I think having another sd card as backup is a good thing (with TomTom maps).
sometimes when you device is accessing some files on ur storage card,& u reset,it would wipe out ur sd card.
so better wait for sometime until u reset when your device hangs or stop all activities 1st b4 reset.
yeah,better do a backup of ur sd every week or fortnight.
Hey everyone,
for some reason, my MiniSD card looks empty all of the sudden.
didn't do anything special.
i just see a Outlook folder, and it had 1.8GB of music and programs.
when i click memory i see 1.8GB of 2GB used.
but i just dont see all my data.
what should i do to repair it?
If you have a card reader remove card from phone and put it in there, computer should see everything, then when you put it back in the phone it ought to be good.
otherwise just remove it reset the phone and then put it back in again, that might just about do it.

Well, that didnt work.
i ran StorageTools on it, but then it just deleted the rest of the missing files and gave me the whole miniSD as empty.
so i did a hard reset and reinstalled all my software
and today it happened again
all the data is lost again
what do i do?
I have the same! Once in a while I loose files from my storagecard. I have to reinstall the programs.
I made a copy to my PC, so I can copy back if again I loose files. But I really don't know why this strange behaviour happens.
Maybe it's the card itself?
So its not even just me
anyone else had this issue? found how to solve it? i had it day after day.
do you also have the problem where the card looks like it hasent recovered the space?
It's an old problem. If you use search, it turns up few dozens.
Are you using WM6 or WM5? WM6 reportedly has better driver support for SD(HC).
I'm using WM5.
2GB cards arnt SDHC?
i tried searching but didnt find anything that looks like that problem.
want to help me out with a link?
I have this file loosing problem with WM6 and WM5, but not so often, maybe once or twice a month.
Hmm... it was reported that WM6 would solve this problem but it turned out that it's not true.
Perhaps you guys should try the application called sdsentry, which would save your day.
happened to me a few days ago.. something to do with losing power and killing the file allocation table (or something like that).. I used a program called 'GetDataBack for FAT' and got almost everything back.
MiniSD Data dissapearing workaround
1. Stop ALL programs running from miniSD (plugins, background progs, etc.)
2. Trinity On, remove miniSD card.
3. Soft reset Trinity.
4. Using File Explorer (since this could be the only option available), DELETE the "STORAGE CARD" directory.
4. POWER OFF Trinity.
5. Insert miniSD card
6. POWER ON, voila!
Use it at your own risk, it worked for me just fine.
For Admin: Since thius is a pretty common issue for Trinity owners it may be a good idea to make the message STICKY.

Yeah this is a pretty common problem. I had a patriot 2gb nonSDHC card once which had this problem, recurred all the time, changed to kingston and never had it again.
This is probably gonna be your best choice unfortunately.
I had the same issue some days ago with my Trascend 2GB , that's what I did:
1- via a card reader I saved all data in the minisd to a tempdir on my desktop
2- reformatted minisd in FAT
3- copyed all files again from the tempdir to the minisd and reinserted in my Trinity
4- All my files are back again
This help only if you can see your files on the desktop via the card reader..obviously..
Bye

fanelul,
how can you delete the "STORAGE CARD" directory since you removed the miniSD card before? As you know when you remove the card the directory disappear from file explorer list..
Bye
I've had this problem twice.
What I did when data diasppears was:
1) soft reset
2) use the file explorer of ppc
3) you should see 'storage card' AND 'storage card2'
4) delete 'storage card' and leave 'storage card2' alone
5) soft reset
6) you should get everything back whe the ppc reads 'storage card2' as the offset storage card when it changes back to 'storage card' minus the '2'
Hope this helps many.
isnt the case
Hey, this isnt the case, sorry.
i dont have Storage card2.
anyway, i just got this thing again
this time i lost all the folders on the miniSD
but the files that were flat on the miniSD are still there
i think ill try buying a new miniSD card.
if that dosnt work ill send the Trinity for repairs.
Hi,
I've same problem since I use a PNY 2 Go sd card.
To solve it quickly I switch off the screen (hard button on the right top), remove and replace mini SD, and it's ok.
No problem with my 1 go....
After my christmas trip I'll replace Wester_Europe map by French_map and burn my 2go card....
I had a similar problem too. But not all the data disappeared from my minisd.
I used to store images taken from the camera in the rootSD/MyDocuments/images.
My Trinity deleted ALL the data inside the MyDocuments directory, and the data inside Windows directory.
This happened after a soft reset. My Trinity was frozen and i had to soft reset through the lower button.
When it turned on again didn't find any of the programs installed.
hi
i had rom 6.1 and flashed ahen series rom 6.5 (AHEN 6.5-E6h FULL )
everything was fine and after finishing the flash i got a error message device start up failed due to sudden loss of power "yes" to continue. i gave yes but it is not loading it again says storage memory is low delete some files or move to storage card other programs may not start but could not delete or move .
most of the program are not loaded. it shows storage memory is 16.22 and in use 16.22 phone is not working inculding active sync.
can some one help me ? to sync my phone to pc .
First try hard reset. I think you have to flash again the rom. Since active sync is not working you'll have to flash from memory card
Flash from the SD card:
1. turn down the phone
2. take your sd and sim card out of the elf
3. copy a rom file (the .nhb file) to the root of the SD card and name it "ELF0IMG.nbh" exactly.
4. now insert the sd card back in the phone.
5. while holding the camera button, insert the mini usb cable, wait for a while a white screen will ask you if you want to flash the new image..
hi
thanx for the quick reply
when i press the camera button it says "error opening the shortcut or locating the target file name" and then when i connect the mini usb it is asking connection type 1. active sync 2. disk drive 3. internet sharing.
i did not choose anything but active sync is selected by default and i was holding the camera button for few minutes but nothing happened .
help me to sort out this
Why do you press camera ? Did you try hard reset?
HI
i tried hard reset but having the same problem.
u said to hold camera button and insert mini usb cable .
I didn't tell you, you prob read it somewhere...
Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.
hi
thanks again
i tried hard reset but having the same problem.
can you please tell me how to flash from sd card
ELF0IMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem
1 .Empty (erase the contents of) your microSD card using the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).
2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
3. Rename the .NBH file to ELF0IMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.
4. With microSD card inserted in the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by hold down the camera button and reset device with the stylus).
5.Confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button (or the volume slider down).
6. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
hi
thanks very much
i flashed as you said
now my htc is working
thank you for your step by step guidence.
