After a soft reset, my phone hits me with an error dialog saying that voice command cannot be found etc etc. The reason for this is because the storage card hasn't been read yet. I'm curious to find out if there is a way to put in a delay so that the storage card has time to load, if not even a way to remove that annoying nag screen will do just fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
Install voice command to main memory, not to storage card.

Thanks but that's just a workaround... I don't really want to do that because it's not just voice command, there are other apps that will make this happen as well.
Not all applications will respond well to being installed to the storage card.
I think I remember reading somewhere that you could change the order of the shorcuts in the startup folder as a workaround. Haven't tried it myself, though.
I got it. Used a program called SKTools to change the order and now it's perfect. No more nag screen!

I have an Orange M500 fitted with 1Gb card,and as its new not many programs & files. I have also done the Hard reste/ soft reset trick to install as few as poss of the Orange app, but still I keep getting a :? :? :? "Memory is low" message through voice command.
Stats are Main Memory 57.41MB, Storeage Card Used 171.99MB, Storage in Use 0.69MB and Extended ROM in use 16.84MB.
If anyone nows how to stop this message or what I should do to move the memory around to stop it I would love to know.
You'll need to enter 'Settings' and hit the 'Memory' icon, to get an idea of the true state of used memory.
To give you an idea of what to look for, here's my stats:
Total memory 57.41 (of course always the same)
STORAGE:
Allocated: 18.51
In use: 8.23
FREE: 10.28
PROGRAM:
Allocated: 38.91
In use: 10.52
FREE: 28.39 <- this is the most important variable
If your numbers are much worse, most likely you have been installing to 'Default location' instead of Storage Card. You will either need to uninstall most programs and reinstall on the SD card, or simply do a hard reset to get a fresh start.
If you have plenty of free STORAGE, you can move the slider to the left to assign more memory to run programs. A minimum of 6-7MB's are needed for STORAGE, though.
low storage
Hi all
as a newbie with an o2mini :roll: , i seem to have a problem with storage
I have 27mb allocated to storage and 19.5mb is in use - yet i cant work out what is using all that space - i have loaded the vast majority of my programs on the storage card - any ideas on how to find out what is in storage ?
i used total commander but it shows virtually nothing ?
and i really dont want to do a hard reset and start again :shock:
try this buddy

download from google play "mount/system(rw/ro"app and check the mount system dir for r/w access at boot then hit the mount r/w option. hopefully this helps?
To date I have had the following problems with shortcuts to exe files located on my 1GB Storage Card:
1) Every time I switch on the device, Skype reports that it cannot load the Skype.exe file on the Storage Card, a shortcut of which is in the Startup folder
2) Every reboot, GSPMagic cannot load itself from Startup. If however I delete the shortcut, then create a new one manually in the Starup folder, it works fine! I have checked the old shortcut and it is exactly the same as the new one! They are identical, yet one says that the source file cannot be found.
3) Microsoft Money installed a shortcut in Programs. The shortcut had no icon, and again said the file was not found or needed to be reinstalled. Yet when I created the shortcut manually into Programs, and overwrote the shortcut setup created, it worked fine.
What on earth is going on, and has anyone experienced something similar?
Most other program shortcuts to the Storage Card work fine strangely!
I was under the impression that anything called at startup had to be installed in main memory.
GSPMagic did not work for me on the storage card, but once in main memory was fine.
Can anyone confirm this?
So I have to install Skype on the Device not Storage Card? I don't think the setup instructions said this :?
Glad to hear you're using GSPM++, it means that mackaby07 and I have helped some people!
I too have had trouble when loading this on the memory card, but in the main memory it's fine, and it doesn't take up enough space to worry about either!
Haven't noticed any real speed increase with that lil prog, just testing it at the moment.
However, what about my issues with Skype, and MS Money, both loading from the Storage Card. Surely they shouldn't cause a problem? Weird one this.
CJSnet - at least on the Magician, storage card shortcuts aren't always ready to be run from softreset, it seems like it takes a few seconds after boot for the storage card to be ready to use (so much OS kerchunking going on in the background perhaps). So it's as if the storage card isn't inserted at that point, so they don't launch.
I'll be trying to write a small fix for this at some point...

Great, please do post it back here when you have!
In the meantime any way to fix for example Skype insisting on running every time I wake the device out of standby? It doesn't appear in the Startup group so must be somewhere else, and if on the Storage Card, it won't run -- I get the same error.
4) Microsoft Reader again installs an icon in Programs, but when clicked I get the same error as all the above.
This is therefore not a Startup lag issue.
The exact error is:
"The file 'msreader' [for example] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file".
Help!
Hehe talking to myself here, but hmm, this is odd, I just tried recreating the MS Reader shortcut.
Original from Setup: 19#\Windows\msreader.exe (<-path does not exist)
Manually created by me: 36#"\Storage Card\Windows\MsReader.exe"
Why is Setup, when I tell it to install Reader on the Storage Card, creating a shortcut that does not mention the Storage Card, and therefore cannot possibly work? This must be the issue with the other items.

This is driving me mad? Why does it make every shortcut to a prog on Storage Card leave out the 'Storage Card' part of the path? Any help greatly appreciated. Maybe a reg entry? :?

Hi Vijay, any news on this handy sounding app?
I am still getting this problem, and not just after boot.
Why is it, whenever I turn the device on from standby power-save mode, I get an error with Skype saying it can't find itself on the Storage Card?
Why is Skype trying to load something when I come out of standby sometimes, but not always?
Hey guys, I have a 2gb card in my MDA, with basically nothing on it. WOuld it be possible to move my Windows folder there? Or would this mess my phone up? The main reason I want to is because I am trying to change my ringtone, and put a new ring into the Windows folder, but it says I do not have enough space. Also, how do I assign my text messages to my storage card?
Brian
i very much doubt it would run if it was possible, wouldnt it be far better to free up some space and re-install apps etc onto the 2gb card instead ?
Most programs that run all the time require to be installed onto the main memory otherwise it causes problems, reason being is its slower to use removable memory rather than internal memory, plus if you removed the memory card while an important program was running, all hell breaks loose.
Im sure you can only store attachments on storeage cards, not the text messages, their encrypted in outlook i think (which uses internal memory).
I tried putting smartkey onto my storage card, but it didnt work, and so I moved it back, and now whenever I come back from sleep, I get an error saying that smartkey.ee cannot be run from the storage card, even though it isnt there. It still runs however, from the main memory.
As for the text messages, I am not using Outlook, I am just using regular SMS.
Any ideas?

Check your notification queue using an app like MemMaid or SKTools.
You can't move the Windows folder to SD - it's in ROM and is basically unmoveable. If you're feeling adventurous you could try making your own ROM, but it's for the foolhardy.
Use something like MemMaid to move selected windows dlls to SD, to gain considerable space. Always install any program that permits it to the sd rather then internal storage.

I second the suggestion of moving certain dll's to the storage card. MemMaid works great for that.
You will free up a lot of space.
Will memaid automatically do it, or will I need to select certain dlls? If I need to select them, which ones should I move?
Brian
It'll guide you through those it recognises as being moveable... no particular knowledge required. But check out brighthand as well, they have a guide on doing it manually. But that's just for background theory really.

Can MS Voice Command run on a Storage Card?
I'm thinking about purchasing it, but would like to be sure I don't have to install it to main memory.
MS Voice Command must be installed to your main memory. It will not work if installed to the Storage Card
Thanks for the reply.
Looks like I need to reavaulate the software I have installed as I don't have much room left on main mem.
I have it installed on my storage card. However every time I power on I have to close an error message and then push my Voice Command button on the phone twice so it will work from there on out. ...until its rebooted again. Annoying, but it keeps my main memory clean.
Worksk perfectly on my 2gb storage card
Has anyone successfully managed to move the Inbox to the Storage Card yet?
The usual registry hacks that have worked on several previous devices don't seem to be working on the HD2.
It is quite happy to let me move attachments to the Storage Card through Inbox-Options but as soon as I hack the registry to set 'PropertyPath' to move the Inbox and reboot, I end up with a folder in main memory called 'Storage Card' and the actual Storage Card renamed 'Storage Card2'.
If memory serves, this can happen where the card is slow to be mounted, but I'm puzzled why it will happily send attachments to the card and then throw a hissy fit when I ask it to do the same with mail.
Was the issue of the speed of mounting the card ever solved anywhere else? Can't find it if it was!
Any help gratefully received.
Bump...
Has anyone tried moving their Inbox to the Storage Card? Someone must have, surely?
A simple yes it works/no it doesn't would be very helpful - at least I'd know whether it was worth trying to find a solution
Thanks in anticipation
Still keen to know whether anyone has successfully managed to move their mail store to the Storage Card.
Also, has anyone managed to turn off autolock? I don't want to have to enter a pin every time my device wakes. I have tried tweaks and reg hacks and neither seems to give me the behaviour I want/expect
I appreciate that there are differences between Manila and Sense, but surely the underlying registry entries can't be that different? Many of the expected keys exist but they are just ignored by the device - odd.
Or is it just me...?
unfortunately you are right.
I experience the same issues in trying to redirect pictures I shoot to storage card\My Documents\My Pictures.
Like you say there appear to be some differences here and there.
I'm looking but I hope somebody with some more knowledge finds it fast

Hi Gustopher, how and where did you do that? I am unable to find where to tell the HD2 to put attachments on the Storage Card even after days of searching for it, resulting in less and less storage on the device, even when all mail and messages have been removed.
Thanks in advance.
Crazy...
Edit : O.k. just found it . . . . . . duh, what a good night rest can do for ya.
Another week's worth of XDA brains on this since first posting, so worth a revist:
Has anyone managed to get their mail onto the storage card?
The few who have responded so far seem to see the same issues as I did, but is this the case across the board?
If there is indeed a problem, does anyone have any bright ideas how we can fix this?
(Or is everyone too busy saying how much they love/hate the HD2 and how they are going to shag it/return it??)
Hi
Given the small amount of storage memory this is an important issue. I haven't tried it but was going to use Sktools to do it. Will try later. Hope it an be resolved.
Paul
I am pretty sure you won't get any joy through SKTools - I have already responded to someone else who'd tried it and wondered why they had a renamed Storage Card.
I just had a go through Memmaid - I was also looking at the possibility of changing some startup items to give the card a chance to load - but wound up having to hard reset.
It's a bugger, to be sure. I am increasingly convinced that the card is slow to load, but what to do about it...?
I would also like some assistance in getting this resolved. Has anyone been successful here??

Find the Email icon in the main start menu (or it may be in a subfolder depending on your rom). Open it and the 'select an account' screen will open. Hit MENU, OPTIONS, go across to the STORAGE tab and tick the box that says 'When available, use the storage card to store attachments.'
After a loading icon all attachments existing and in the future will be stored on the card. You will notice an increase in available memory on the device immediately.
I assume this is what you meant, if not I don't know the solution!
i have an idea to a solution

This isn't the preferred method because it creates a folder with an encrypted name. Also, it does not move the mail, just the attachments. But, it's better than nothing.
Generally, I want to save the mail and attachment in my desired path on the SD card.
As the OP stated, all the old methods don't work.
I addressed this problem in this thread, due to the order the hardware starts up after a reset i doubt you will find a solution to this problem without rewriting the email software not to start untill the SDcard has been powered/detected
