I uploaded this free software from Adobe website. The S/W is great, but it is very large size (~14MB). At installation it askes, wether to be installed on MAIN MEMORY or STORAGE CARD, however no chnace with storage card. It simply doesn't work, if not installed on MAIN MEMORY. Is there any similar experience here?
Bijan,
I try Adobe Reader 2.0 for PocketPC, and installed it on \storage card (SD Card 1GB) without problem.
Another solution for reading .pdf is using ClearPDF that come with O2 unit. But I screw up my ExtROM, and now I only can use Adobe reader 2.0 :-(
Regards,
Arto.
Can it be due to not 100% compatibility of SD RAM
I assume as long as my 256MB SD RAM is working in other application, then it is OK, but can I be wrong, i.e. the problem is in my my storage card, rather than S/W and installation procedures!?
I installed acrobat reader 2.0 to my 256mb sd card and have had no problems with it either. Try removing it and re-installing it.
I had the same problem. I uninstalled the software via ActiveSync only from the device (unchecked the checkbox at software). After that I unchecked the checkbox "allwas use default folder" and reinstalled the software zo the storage card. It works quite well, but my card is a bit slow...
ClearPDF is really great, I use it instead of Acrobat Reader!
but its not free :roll:
Is the ClearPDF come with the O2 XDA II mini? That's free.
AdobePDF have more extra feature than ClearPDF. Can show full screen. I am trying to have big storage (27mb) on \storage Anansky method. If success, I can install AdobePDF on \storage.
Best regards,
Arto

I just got me XDA II and have been trying to install software onto my 128mb Lexar SD card. Each time i try to install the programs the install fails - and if i try to run the cab files left over am told they are invalid. I have also noticed the directories on the card get corrupted. The crads worked fine in my 5450 as did the programs. They do however install fine to internal ram. Looking throught these forums i see other people have SD issues, so is the XDA II fussy about SD cards that work?
based on a post at pocketpcthoughts in august 2003 i changed my todat theme back to windows default - and guess what - no more install problems! no more directory corruption- should i return my device?
Hi,
I'm new to this so please be gentle with me.
I have brought a Kingston 256mb SD Card and put it into my XDA II but the problem is I dont seem to be able to access it.
Can anyone please help.
Regards
Hm...i think you made a bad choice of using kingston 256 mb sd card. I use the same card as you do...but until now nothing happens with my card. My friend encounters the same problem with you. Maybe your card is defected like my friend's ? He changed to another brand though
you could try formatting it in a sdreader or in the xda using storage tools or pocket mechanics
do you have link for pocket mechanic.
tried doing a search on here but it returns too many unrelated threads.
thanks in advance

Thanks for the link but the program only recognises a 14mb card, which i didnt think i had???? or is that inbuilt into the xda II.
It still doesn't recognise my kingston 256 card.....
Any other suggestions guy!!!!
Try to format the card with a digital camera.
storage is the name of the backup
storagecard is the name of the sd card
if it cant see the storagecard then you can try with storage tool
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
if that also dont want to see the card then you can try formatting with a cam like was said
or maybe the card is just defect
Thanks again Rudegar
Tried that but that also didnt work. Only recognises 16Mb of Extended ROM and 16MB of storage memory.
Like I said before I am new to this and now I also a bit thick. Can you confirm to me the following;
1. XDA II come with 128 MB of memory
2. They come with 16 MB of RROM
3. They also come with 16 MB of memory
I didnt think point 3 was valid.
Anyway i'll just have to try the Kingston 256MB on a camera and see if it works. If that fails, I'll just have to get another one.
Also can anyone connfirm to me that when you put a SD Card into the memory slot at the top does the XDA II automatically recognise it?
Thanks you all for keeping up with my stupidity.
Go to settings
then to system
then memory
then to storage card
and then on the drop down does it show the two mediums
Storage card AND
storage this is normally 14.57 or depending how much you have assinged to it
The storage card is the external medium like by me a 512 gives about 488 free space

I have the same problem. Storage Tools isn't recognizing my card either...
Did you found any solution to this?
Yes. The solution was to replace the card. The card itself was fualty. I now have 1GB Kingmax SD card which works briliantly

I tried every thing ..urgent help needed please
Hey
My phone is saying I have 2.79MB of storage left but 16.51MB of Program space. Yet it wont let me install any new programs because of a lack of space! :-( Anyway to get this to work?
I would suggest you do some searches on memory and Windows Mobile 5 to learn more about how the different kinds of memory are used.
In a nutshell--storage space (or a memory card) is where you install programs and is analogous to a desktop computers hard drive. Program memory is the equivalent of the RAM in a desktop computer and is used by programs as they are running. You cannot use the program memory for installation of programs.
Have you purchased a mini-SD card for use with your Wizard? If you have a memory card inserted when you install software, you will be given the option of installing to the memory card. (Don't install things like Today screen add-ins and software that will need to run at startup on memory cards.)
Good luck.

Ah right I see. For some reason its not allowing me to install tomtom on my memory card, Ill just have to swap things about I think.
Thanks for your help
Just going to re-install everything onto my new TyTN. Can someone pls tell me what are the pros and con of installing progs onto the external microSD as opposed to the internal memory. I'm thinking that if we free as much internal memory as possible, progs should run faster.
just a few Progs I'm going to install:
Agenda fusion
SPB backup/Pocket Plus/Diary
Resco explorer
Pocket DIVX
Speed of the card is the main issue. I have a miniSD that does pretty good for installing apps on, but there's some things that it's just too slow. Depends on the app really. Generally speaking though, if I can live with it going slightly slower, I will install to miniSD, since I only use one card anyway.
If you swap cards frequently it is probably better to install the critical apps on the internal memory.
Re: What are the pros and cons of installing to external SD
Pros:
1. Have more space to install apps (I think that's the main reason)
Cons:
1. Apps won't work if card is taken off
2. If you install backup software to card, you won't be able to restore the backup file.
But in my case, I don't really interchage my mini SD card. I have 1GB and so far I've been using about 100MB where around 60MB is apps and the other 40MB is the overhead from the card and I install most apps to the card except Spb Pocket Plus

3. If you install an app to an SD card that is for example a today plugin - this could cause your device to hang as there is a slight delay in accessing storage cards when your device wakes up.

i try to install the addon programs included in Helmi and Xplode cabs in the external sd card; (device or storage card)
at the end of installation the device get me ok but when i check the programs, they are not installed in external sd but in internal storage card;
at the end the internal storage card is full.
Please help to me
Your not the onlyone...
I have the same problem...
most of the htc stuff can not be installed on the sdcard because they look for the OS files to bein the same directory as the program. thats why they all install in \windows
Xplode... but i can't install nothing on sd card... that's not normal, in wm2003 and wm5 i've installed many things on sd card...

Hi Xplode
when we download your addon cabs for wm6, is it possible to know which one must be in stalled in internal storage (/windows) and which is possible to install in external sd card?
thank you very much for yoru reply
you can install any aditional software to the sd card like resco explorer for example, but the cabs i made can not be installed outside of \windows because they will not work
xplode, is it possible to install programs to the sd card instead of the device when installing automatically with a cfg.txt in \extrom?
