I have not tried this on the Wizard (currently waiting for one) but I have used SOTI Pocket Controller extensively on many PocketPCs over the years. I find it much better than the MS tool. Not free but not expensive.
www.soti.net
(I have no connection with SOTI)
I use the attached tool for quite a while now, on wm2003, 2003se and wm5 devices, it works great.
I got it somewhere overhere i believe, so the credits go someone else..
copy the 2577 folder to the root of your storage card,
then eject, and insert the card, the first time the device will
ask if you want to run autorun, and you do, so, accept it.
from now on every time you insert your storage card, it will make a
screenshot in that folder 2577, no matter what screen you are in or app.
you are running (for as far as i know then)
good luck with it !
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, in the end I manage to grab a copy of Pocket-Controller Professional
Hi!
I just found out that the Diamond can be connected to a PC in a "disk drive" mode - instead of "Active Sync" to facilitate (big) file transfer.
Is there a chance to get the Polaris to connect via this route?
thank!

Use Softick Card Export II 3.08 or above!
SDHC support..

I tried version 3.13 and it supports MicroSDHC 4gb
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
But it is trail version, you can use it 21 days
But this Softic card export is really slow (900 k/s). You need about 1/2 hour to transfer one divx movie (700 MB). In my opinion this software is useless.

You can propose anything alse?
I also used Card Export and it nice for me. Small, fast. More faster than ActiveSync transfer.
I am looking for something that allows faster transfers between PC and the Polaris (mostly from PC to Polaris) too. Tried normal activesync, card export, wifi connection to the lan and copying from a windows share. None of those getting any close to the speed of a simple card reader. The only problem with a card reader is having to get the card out :-(
It seems that the limiting factor here is the Polaris card access speed. Any chances to somehow improve this ?
interesting how it work on diamond possible to port ?
The Polaris is only USB 1.1 ("Full-Speed" - 12 Mbit/s), while most card readers nowadays are USB 2.0 ("Hi-Speed" - 480 Mbit/s).
Unfortunately, this is a hardware limitation and has nothing to do with the software or ROM you are using.

Polaris is USB 2.0 according to HTC.

FTP
When I'm to copy large files to the PDA I use a free FTP server on the Polaris and copy the files when connected to WiFi.
It's not as fast as taking the card out and inserting into the PC, but it's very easy and convenient. Using a good FTP client like FileZilla I can que up files and transfer them with a simple click.
Free PocketPC FTP Server: http://www.mochasoft.dk/freeware/ftpd.htm
From my tests, the polaris can write and read up to 2MB per sec(internaly) and up to 900 KB using card export.
My card reader reads and writes on my microsd up to 8MB/s.
In this case, it's better to remove the card and place it into a cardreader.
LE: over wifi the speed is much slower about 300 KB using a ftp server
USB 2.0 Full Speed
As tenticle56 wrote above, the Polaris is a Full Speed device opposed to the Diamond which is Hi Speed, while both of them are USB 2.0.
Please compare here
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=1311&id2=1307&id3=1306
This is often misunderstood in IMO purposely misleading selling point.
However if there was no HiSpeed for a device without memory card slot, who would buy it?
Unfortuantely hardware never supported HiSpeed yet for devices with memory extension so we need to wait on the Raphael.
Upshot: If you need high data rates there is no way around a card reader and be sure to use a high speed card, too. Vendors here also often 'cheat' customers by only advertising the card's max reading speed, while for transfer usually the writing speed (often a multiple below max read speed) is the critical value.
Has anyone had any luck in getting the Treo Pro to function as a USB mass storage device (using WM5torage, CardExport II, some ported hack of the WM6 USB control panel applet, or some other solution)?
I'm considering getting rid of my iPod as the Pro works quite well with Kinoma Play, but getting the files on using Activesync is painfully slow, and pulling the card out of the TP to connect directly to my computer is, well, just not a realistic option.
Thanks!
I've installed "Wei enterprise's USB to PC" as all of the usual suspects refused to work. This one works - but only intermittently. There is a conflict between these and the Palm programme that installs activesync.
I have made it work by keeping an eye on the phone screen and "cancelling" whenever the installation programme runs. Once we get into the ROM Dump, hopefully we'll be able to uncook this activesync installer and make this work properly!

You probably don't need a rom cooking for that. Just try task manager v.3.1 from this forum, and go to service and device tab. One of them is your mass storage service ( be carefull, there is also a real storage service, which serves your SD and internal memory). Just stop it, and see how your program works.
If you don't know which one to stop, just post here the list of all running services, and I'll tell you what to try.

Which service are you talking about? None of them seem to be labeled as mass storage...
I tried nueMassStorage on my Treo 800w and my PC would intermittently recognize it as a mass storage device, but the 800w does not have any ActiveSync installer. Still the PC would lose recognition of the Treo 800w as a mass storage device and get it back every minute or so.
But even when my PC could recognize my Treo 800w as a mass storage device, the speed of data transfer was exactly as slow as when connected via ActiveSync. There was no improvement in transfer speed at all. When using a MicroSDHC card reader data transfer goes very fast, especially with class 6 cards.
Every program I've used to turn my Treo 800w into a mass storage device may or may not work, but none improves transfer speed at all.
Perhaps the Treos are just slow?
I do miss Mass Storage since all my Sanyo's and BB Curve had it. Loaded up movies Hancock, The Dark Night, Zohan and more in just minutes with it on my Curve. My current 800 does not have it.
Is there a program from the TP that works on the 800?

you can try to stop each one an see how it goes
Try My Mobiler ... works well with Treo Pro.
Is the file transfer rate any better than just using ActiveSync?

I just gave it a shot.... I don't think there's any difference. I suspect what they did is not switch off the treo service, but simply make a virtual mass storage device and still send the data through the RNDIS protocol...
Has anyone else tried it yet?
Did this ever get figured out or is the Softick software the best bet. I just go a TP yesterday and my car radio plays music off of external hard drives so I would like this feature back. Info? Anyone???
1. First, when I got my TOuch HD (im using Vista) and I tried to connect the HD to my PC, I plugged in the cable but it wouldn't connect. I realised it was a USB port problem, change the port, and everything sync fine for the last week or so. Last night, there was a Windows Mobile Device Centre update so I did that. And after that, it woulnd't connect via Active Sync anymore. (Im using the same usb port, also tried a different port). When I try to connect as a hard drive, I can still view the content of the memory card just fine.
Does any1 know how to fix this please?
2. I've copied a lot of music into my HD, and quiet a few of them are ones that I dont really like (since I didn't filter before I copy), so the advantage of using windows media player (wmp) is that in library, i can delete the file from my memory card as well (which is more convinience than using a different music player, may be some players offer this function but Im not aware of?). However, I got this problem - when I try to update my library, wmp search ALL of my memory card and copy over all the audio files from different software/games... and I want it to only scan the music folders (where all my music are). So any1 can offer me a solution for this please? (I.e. some option in wmp that i dont know, or another music player that offer delete from storage card)?
Thanks a lot for your help..
Btw, Im using the ROM ver 1.14.4053 WWE (on Orange UK) and Vista Home Premium
hi, could someone help me with this please?
thanks
If you want the ActiveSync connection, ensure you specify that in the USB to pc Setting. Also, blank out the enable advanced network functionlaity checkbox.
I don't use WMP anymore, but I think you can delete it only from the library without actually deleting it from the storage card. In that way, your library is clean from the unwanted stuff, yet you don't end up deleting system sound files.
Hope it works for you.
hi, im using vista, and using mobile device center, not activesync, activesync is not for vista.
and what I want is actually being able to delete some unwanted song from my storage card (so i dont have to clean it up later)

Your vista can't make activesyn connection unless you do the step that I've outline in the last post. ActiveSync applies to both XP and Vista.
hi, thanks for the reply, but I don't think that's the solution to my problem, because I've already tried that. And also, it was sync fine just before the windows update and download the new Windows Mobile Center, since then, even if I tried system restore to where it was before the update... it wouldn't work...
problem solved - looks like after my update, the Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter went missing... just installed it again.
Thanks for your help.
Hi!
I am trying to install Garmin Mobile XT to my HTC Diamond. Unfortunately no luck so far.
I extract the compressed file and start Setup.exe. When I select (Removable Drive D:/) nothing happens,
also the lower part of the Setup.exe is cut off. I think there should be buttons like NEXT / INSTALL / CANCEL.
Has anyone got the same problem or am I doing something wrong?
I use vista and install Garming to my diamond without any problem.
Make sure ur diamond is correctly connected with PC.
I think it says removable drive because when you connected your diamond to the computer, you selected the Disk Drive and not Activesync.. Make sure you disconnect, connect again and when the phone asks you, select Activesync. This should make it work.

Just like what was said above, make sure you're in activesync mode and in the install app it should show up as "windows mobile: internal storage." Hope it works for you. I use it and it's a great navigation app. Just out of curiosity, what version are you to install?
one question,can i use sam garmin on diamond and xperia(differenr resolutions)
so can i install garminxt on different devices???
