Hey, I'm having a problem copying a 300 megabyte wmv file from my computer to my 2 gig stick. Whenever it gets to about 5~10% goes back to 0 and starts again, does anyone have this problem? Or, does anyone know what's the matter?
Thanks!
BTW, my card is a 2 gig MiniSD on my Cingular 8125.
i havent tried this.. dont use my phone much for music and video, mostly just all data... but is it going through activstink? if so is it converting the file? and 300meg file going through the phone takes a while, i would try using your mini sd adapter and a card reader and connect it to your pc and just copy it over that way
Oh, thank you for the reply, I'll try to directly transfer it from PC to stick instead of through activesync. No, it says conversion (none) so I assume it is not converting. I will see if I can plug the stick into my computer.
Btw, when I remove my stick should I power off my 8125? Almost everything is installed into my stick.
Edit: Nope, , there is no place on my computer for me to plug my stick directly into.
no need to power off... and you should have gotten an SD adapter for your mini SD card. after putting the mini sd card into the SD adapter then would need a SD card reader which are very inexpensive to acquire if you dont have one already. then plug the reader into the computer, the computer should recognize it as a removable storage device. just drag and drop...
Alright, thank you! Yes it did come with an adapter. Is there anyway to copy large files through activesync?
you should be able to.. but with my experience it just takes forever... i copied my iguidance map for a friend one time and its 600meg... took 30 minutes to complete. I only copy large files via the adapter nowadays
Yeah, I don't mind waiting 15-30 minutes, it's just that it resets itself and I have no idea if I can ever get it on my phone via activesync.
Edit: I'm trying a different method, right clicking the file and going to send to.. then selecting device, then they prompt me to choose the destination within the device, so far so good. I'll edit again if it's successful or not.
SUCCESS!!
WM5Storage
I use WM5Storage instead, for large files. Works better and faster, than ActiveSync.
Well phone was working spot on before but now when i plug my phone into my computer the external sd storage does not come up so i can't move things direct to the external sd card from my computer. but the phone knows it there cause its in "my files" application and its where my music is stored and it plays the music fine. but the external sd card doesn't come up as a directory in kies or normal windows file organiser.. its really strange. any ideas apart from a flash? it was working but then i installed that stop media scanner thing (deleted it now after restarting the media scanning) but since then this has happened. I mean its now the end of the world since the phone sees it and can use it and i can transfer from my phone to my sd card but its just weird that it no longer comes up when connected to pc.
Cheers if you read that and if you can help that would be awesome!
make sure USB Debuging is enabled
then after connect to PC or MAC
you have to select from drop down tab Mount
hello guys!
my problem is popular on google but i don't see any one with my problems.
Anyway, i used my usb to connect and transfer some pics and some music.
Everything was OK until i unplugged my usb. PROBABLY WITHOUT UNMNOUNTING (on my mac). The message on my x10 is like this "preparing sd card. checking for errors"
I have tried to fix the problem by recovering the phone to fabric mode (?).
Anyway i just want to know how to fix this and i have tried a different card into my phone so there is no problems with the phone.
My comp doesn't recognize my x10 anymore. This is really frustrating and i can't use the sd card in the phone because it just restarts itself.
Try formatting the card and see if that helps.
how to formate the card if my comp wont read it?
i have no adapter or anything else, except my x10...
The card works in other phones and i have tried micro sd 2gb in my x10 and it works...
PLEASE HELP

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use one of them to format it.
I actually have a similar issue. When connecting the phone to a mac via usb, upon dissconnecting the card becomes unreadable. I used an adapter to reformat the card to get it working again. I am no longer connecting via usb with my mac. Connecting from Bluetooth doesn't cause this problem. Best bet is to borrow/buy an adapter to reformat. Try not to connect to mac via usb as the card almost always becomes corrupt upon disconnection.

When I try to mount my cell thru the USB cable I cant find it in the Tabs memory?
Where should I be looking? Or won't this work? The cell is charging thru the USB.
Thx

I was actually wondering the same thing. It is pretty nice that it charges the phone but being able to transfer files between phone and tablet would be awesome. Also I have noticed that you when you plug into a comuter you can only see the internal memory on the device and not anything stored on a microsd card in the tablet. I even tried installing that Acer sync program and thtpat didn't help either.
I think my A500 is erasing data from my external USB, I have noticed this twice.
The first was a 8gb stick - I put music on the USB from my PC, then put the USB in my tablet and played the files. The next time I went to use the USB, the tablet wouldnt recognise it. I put the USB in the PC and the PC didnt recognise it either.
Similar thing happened to my external hard drive (Seagate 500GB) - however I can see the drive and the folders that I had are still there, but there are no files (pictures/movies/music).
Any ideas? I have Acer looking into it.
I don't think that it is actually erasing it...
I have had some curious problems. I used to be able to use an external usb stick and move files back and forth. When I first got the tablet,I used the usb to test my 2tb drive and it worked. When Iplugged the drive into the computer again I was surprised to see nothing there!!! But then I got the message on Windows to fix the file system and it was ok after that.
I no longer use the external drive but I would like to see some answers here.
