Installing to Storage card with activesync 4.1 - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi all, is it possible to add programs to the storage card on an MDA Vario using activesync 4.1?
I have the card installed and it works fine but when i go to add a prog in add/remove programs on activesync, the check box for "store to default folder" is greyed out. Anyone got any ideas?
I have removed activesync completely and re-installed it again but it's not working.
Cheers.

The install option to device/storage card appears not on the desktop activesync. The PocketPC asks you if you install an app.

Doh!
Yup, cheers for the reply, I was being too impatient, I realized shortly after posting.
I was beginning to think that it was not possible and i couldn't believe no one had moaned about it on here. I was searching everywhere to no avail lol.
We live and learn......
Then die and forget it all :?

Activesync Very Weird Problem.. Help!

Hi to all,
I have a very strange problem with the connection with activesync.
When i got the Qtek 2020, i was able to syncronise on the USB cradle easily.
After some time i decided to connect via bluetooth.
No problems there!
Activesync is working excellent via bluetooth!
But..
Now i cannot connect via USB !!!!!
I tried a fresh install on another PC of activesync (even the new version from MS), but nothing! The activesync icon is always grey! it cannot connect.
Windows find the USB cradle and the PPC OK, but nothing more.
The cradle and the PPC port must be working because i see that the battery is charging when i have it cradled.
In the PPC settings options--options i have the USB selected.
Any ideas??
TIA
try running
\windows\repllig.exe
and then put the device in the cradle

Sorry for hijacking, but I also have a problem with ActiveSync.
I previously used WM2003SE ROM2.06 (the one modified by ZeroExtreme). Then I took the plunge coz I couldn't resist trying out WM2005. The upgrade went fine, but then ActiveSync started acting weird. It synchronizes, but it stays minimized, no matter what I do. When I right-click on the taskbar tray (BTW I'm running WinXP SP2) and click on "open activesync", it opens, but again, stays minimized so I cannot get into the options or tools. I got pissed off so I rreverted back using XdA2JoJo and toenailed's Final version (the exe file). The update went fine. Naturally, I removed a ActiveSync 4 and installed AS 3.8 It was installed fine, and it recognizes my device, but it can't sync. It says connected but when I try opening AS it give me nothing. it doesn't even prompt me for a new partnership, even though I already deleted all previous partnerships. When I cchoose to "explore device" by right-clicking the taskbar icon, it gives me like a communication error and tells me to reset my PPC. I did, but still to no avail. I uninstalled and reinstalled AS3.8 and even AS3.7 - same problem. I searched the forum tried running replog.exe on my Xda2, nothing. Tried deleting everything including manually uninstalling AS by deleting its registry files - same problem. When I install AS4, it synchronizes alright, but again, AS4 won't open, it just stays minimized.
Sorry for a very long first post, and thank you for bearing with me. Please help me guys. Thanks in advance!
I had a similar problem. the answer:
Re-install activesync 4 WITHOUT the cradle or usb cable attached to the computer. plug it all in after the installation.
hope that helps.

It's not in my Windows folder!
I'm running Windows XP SP2
Activesync 3.8 is very slow... It actually stops responding whenever I dock my device - then starts working after a few minutes!
I thought this might fix my problem, but I can't find the executable anywhere!!!

Same problem here guys ... anyone can help ???
hi guys
when I tried to downgradte to version 3.8 form 4.0 I had the sam problem,
but then I just deleted everything including registry keys, and I reinstalled 4.0 ( not 3.8), and It works great now
Activesync Problem
Still the same here. I can't be the only one who has thes same minimized activesync.
No matter what I do i just can;t get it to maximize.
Help please.
Tried uninstalling deleteing registry keys. The only thing ive been able to do is a system restore. and of course i'm left with 3.8
Help
solution !!!
I met exactly the same problem some days ago. The issue resulted from the undeleted DLL files in folder "\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\NoteSync Forms".
You can find a install log file named "wcesetup.log" in the ActiveSync installation folder, in which it reccored everthing copied/replaced during installation. Some DLL were not copied/replaced, due to previous installation.
Just remove the DLL files which were not installed correctly. Then re-install, your problem should by solved.
Hopefully it's helpful.
Sorry for the late update. I solved my problem - I reinstalled windows! Well, apparently I had no choice for I already tried everything I could find in the forums.
installed activesync 4.0 due to curiosity.
failed to sync.
tried to re-install 3.8, but activesync failed to "pop-up" during startup. failed to maximize as well. indicates "Connected" at system tray.
it is such a great thing we have forums and threads like these.
after spending hours of trying to figure out what's wrong, it only just took me a few minutes to read this thread and fix the prob!
deleted files using WCESETUP as reference. some files didnt want to be replaced since they are "version 4.0.4343" and source file is older (from activesync 3.8 ). whew.
Still don't work
U said u deleted some files using 'wcesetup' can u explain yourself. I tried the above deleteing dll in nsync folder. That didn;t work.
Please this just keeps going and going and i need to fix it. And i don;t fancy reloading my machine to complete it
Thanks in advance
ok i can give some info
remove activesync from you pc
remove the XDA from the cradle
and use taskman to stop wcesmgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
go to control panel and remove activesync
restart pc
go to program files\microsoft activesync and delete all fire there or (if you have pocket pc apps instaled from the desktop backup it cos all cabs are there)
then if your xda as BUZmobile 2005 you MUST use activesync4
else activesync 3
dont use any type of anti-virus/firewall when using activesync4 cos it will prevent a good connection
after that install it again
for activesync4 is better to have outlookXP (outlook2003) and open it i did have some problems sync notes with it closed
well post what appened
Guys, I have a new problem now. I flashed my Xda to WM2005 again, using Buzz's ver. 1.6a
Activesync 4 (build 4343) installed fine but now, when I conect my Xda2, AS opens alright, but it doesn't prompt for a new partnership. Intead, the icon keeps on spinning and then I get an error on my device: "Unable to obtain a server-assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings." Please help...
I somehow made it sync! But now I'm back to the same problem in the first post! Now ActiveSync stays minimized and I cannot get it maximized! Please...
Try to disable windows firewall ... solved my activesync (via usb) problem

!!!HELP!!! Problems installing applications to SD Card :'(

Hi.
I have a serious probelm
When ever I try to install anything to my SD Card through Active Sync, I just end up getting the .CAB file for the install file and whenever I click on it, it installs the program to the Main Storage memory :!:
What I do is this...
I connect my XDAIIi up with my computer and use active sync to sync them both. I just then click on any of the programs that I want to install, and it asks do you want to install blah blah to the default directory (or something like that) I click NO and choose my Storage Card. It then does the above :?
PLEASE could someone help.
I am using an XDAIIi with Active Sync 4. Up until now I have had no problems. I tred downgrading to Active Sync 3.8 but that still did not work.
Am I doing something stupidly wrong???????!!!!!!!
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELP!!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!
I would greatly appreicate a reply as soon as posible.
Thankyou loads in advance,
Regards,
lydiachris
GURU'S NEEDED!!!
Please does anyone know?? There must be XDAIIi guru's out there somewhere!!!
Ohh..... how I wish I were one :roll:
did you try cabinst to install programs from your device to the storage card instead of using MS active sync......... ??
Ah Ha!!! Well done Just got that to work, I was trying to install Visual-IT London maps etc and I think they actually get extracted automatically to .CAB files, I have tried the bacIstall software and it works a treat Thankyou very much.
Cheers.
WHY on earth are these things ever simple?!?! :roll:

It works for my 838.. I have lockup and unable to switch to SDcard mode only if I connected to my PC and activesync once and unplug. But that seems to be the activesync issue in my 838 which fail to free itself from unplug from PC. So it cannot switch to SDcard mode..and prompt me an error message.
I have already switch to AS4.1 but does not improve my situation.
What is Microsoft doing here?? :roll: A soft reset is the only way to get my device syncup again.. :x
I own this program since I had my XDA mini ...
finally I can use it again to copy some files to my pda and use it as a memory stick...
I also noticed some problems:
1. after I connect the USD cable and the PC recognized my pda as a memory stick, Windows XP asked me to make a reboot in order to be able to use the new 'harddrive'
2. after I copied a .jpg to my pda it looked like the storage card is no longer recognized by WM5. The icons of the shortcuts to programs I installed are missing and I cannot browse with TotalCommander to my storage card.
After disconnecting the USD cable, my storage card could be found again - is this a bug or a feature?!
After the first connect in mode 'Card Export' I switched to 'Active Sync' and the synching went on without any problems.
After agains swithing to mode 'Card Export' my Wizard gave an error message, as follows:
"Cannot switch between Card Export and Active Sanc modes. This may be because of missing dlls or corrupted registry entries."
This looks also to me like an incompatibility between card export and active sync.
Hmpf ... rebootet the phone and connected - voila - my Wizard was again properly verified as Memory Stick and I again could upload another .jpg to my device.
It looks definately unfinished ... but it is working quite acceptable to me, though there is a lot room for improvement, it will get the job done, if I need a memory stick 'on the go'.
My device is a HTC Wizard, O2 german.
i may be wrong on the second point, but activesync alters a file when you transfer it to the pda,
so if you transfer a file to the card (even using a card reader) then put the card back in the pda wm5 will not recognise it properly.
point 1 should only happen the first time of detection.
have no problem with my XDA II...

I am experiencing the same... Please update this topic if you'll find a solution.
i'm having the missing dlls dialog problem too.
I noticed that once you activesync'ed, you can't switch to card mode and need to reboot the device.
However, mine can't seem to work anymore. It won't even switch. But I also tried disabling my today's screen (pocket plus and pocket breeze) and it works... but only the icon manage to change. My PC can't detect it as a mass storage device though.
Any luck?
Mine is working fine, I got that dll message once but a soft reset fixed it.
Just wondering what roms are you guys using that works with softick? I'm using rom version 1.6.7.1 WWE which doesn't seem to work. I tried hard reset and install softick on the first reboot. The computer detected a new hardware but failed to install the device.

Same here too!! using ver 2.12
ver 2.11 worked fine with me, so most probably I will downgrade to it now.
I emailed the tech support and waiting for their reply. I will post it here in case I get anything new.
I just tried v2.12, and it didn't work. I found v2.11 on some download site, and installed it. v2.11 worked fine on Qtek's 2.8.7.1 ROM.
I cant get this to work either using 2.12. I get the device manager problem as mentioned previously. Does anyone know where can i get 2.11 from?
found it here:
http://www.softick.com/files/CardExportPPC211c-softick-en.zip
but i get the same problem
You can find previous versions in the "download" section on the left.
I'm having the same issues, used to work fine with 2.11, then it stopped being able to write but could still read (this is on my Mac), and now with 2.12 I can't even get the thing to mount. I'm talking with the developer to see if we can get a fix.
Any 2.12 and 2.11 not working for me... My computer and three others shows me message that they don't have drivers
I posted a query on their forum.
Heres their reply:

I'm a bit confused regarding their reply.
You asked a question about the Wizard and they replied saying they are waiting on delivery of HTC Universal to examine it better. I'm not sure what the Universal has to do with compatibilty for the Wizard as they are completely different devices with different hardware. (Mybe i'm wrong and the hardware components that Card Export uses is actually the same on both devices)
Puckster -
I noticed this on second look, and asked for clarification.
just want to inform everyone that there is a free alternative. it's similar to softick card export that it turns your device into a plug-and-play card reader. it's called wm5torage (yes, the number '5' is the letter 'S')
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411&highlight=wm5torage
it does not have the system tray icon that enables you to switch between activesync and export mode, but rather you open the app in your accessories folder and activate/deactivate it from there.
but hey, it's free and it works

Can no longer Explore PPC through Active Synch

Not sure what I did or what I installed but I can no longer click the Explore button on the Active Synch toolbar and explore the files within the phone/storage card from my desktop PC...any ideas on what brings back that functionality?
If you've got any software firewalls installed on your PC, including the builtin windows one, then try temporarily disabling it and see if you can Explore you PDA then.
Tried turning off the firewall and no luck...anyone else have an idea?

Try reinstall activesync on your pc.
Last time I have this problem with activesync v4.1. I install activesync v4.2 beta, and problem solved.
