Hello there
Ever since I changed the storage of my emails to the storage card, I have the problem that the device creates a folder called "Storage Card" when I perform a soft reset. The actual storage card is then mounted as "Storage Card 2". This has the effect that not only my email bodies are not saved to the storage card, but also that software installed on the card can't be run. I have to start Resco Explorer, remove the storage card, delete the "Storage Card" folder and insert the storage card.
It seems that the storage card driver isn't loaded until later, when the system already created \Storage Card\Messaging\... folder structure.
Is there any way to have the sd card driver load earlier, or any other solution? thx.
No solution?
I have had the same problem. I have only seem the problem from time to time, havent figured out what triggered it..
Try not to set the PIE temp. file to storage card and email attachment to storage card. Because during reboot the system can't see the SD yet, so it will create a storage card from existing rom, and this will cause your subsequently detected SD to be mounted as storage card2.

Yes, I realize that this is the problem. I'm therefore looking for a solution to either prevent Outlook/ActiveSync from creating those folders, or else tell the system to mount the storage card a bit earlier...
also
setting all the temp/cache dirs for built-in MS Win apps (like Word and PIE) on a storage card is a bad idea, from my experience, as the Universal unmounts the SD cards on power down. this causes many of the built-in Win apps to crash when powered back on, with PIE bringing down your entire phone if it can't find the cache dirs. I don't know about you, but I like my Universal to behave more like a stable phone, and not a Win PC. Installing code on the card also seems to be a bad idea, as this problem also causes apps to crash. setting cache and other volatile information to the storage card for 3rd party apps seems to be ok so far. Maybe because they're not privelaged to being integrated with the OS like built-in Win apps.

Hi there... I have had your same prob... I got rid of it simply disabling the "messages" today plug in, and it worked...
have fun
I am trying to install pocket radiologist on my trinity. This program is quite a memory hungry program so am trying to install it onto my 2GB storage card which also has a heap of music on it (but still 500MB free).
When i go to install it it gives me the option to save it onto the storage card but when i select it it installs it into the storage memory on the trinity and not the storage card!
I cant remember if i used some kind of tweak to do this but would love to save the program to my storage card so i can also do it for GPS when i get it......
What am i doing wrong? Is there a setting somewhere which will enable this? i cant seem to find it anywhere.
thanks
Scott
anyone? help please?
someone must have some idea.....
The problem is the installer, it must be hard-coded to use the internal memory instead of the external card, it shouldn't offer the option to install on the card.
You can edit the cab file to remove the hard-coded paths using a trial of WinCE Cab Manager, but if they are hard-coded.. there could be a reason for that, anyways, you can try to do that.
have you tried installing the application on the miniSD card from a card reader, rather than Trinity?
Often if a program installs itself to the internal memory, you can safely find the directory on your phone and move it to the miniSD and just make a new shortcut to your start menu. An example is TomTom, you can copy the directory "Navigator" from the phone Program Files directory to the /Program Files directory on the miniSD and TomTom works perfectly...at least on my device.
When ever I load a program onto my SD card it does not show up in the list on the remove programs application.
How do you mean 'load'? When I install to SD, they are all there.
If I install a program onto the SD card using a CAB or windows installer the program doesn't apear in the remove programs list. It used to and there are programs in the list that are installed on the storage card but has stopped updating the list. Any ideas why.
Is there a way to prevent this? If I try to open any office documents from the external SD card on the S3, it will open it as a separate file in a temporary folder in windows. I am not able to save as back to the SD folder. It will say Read Only. I can not even write to the SD card if I have the file that is in the SD card open. I believe this is the way MTB works, but on my DroidX, I did not have this problem. Is there a solution to this?
Any app available which lock the folder ? on sd card. I can't want to use sd card encryption. I want a app which lock the folder ? on sd card or internal storage. If available then send the link.
