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.

I want to copy and paste a dvd of arund 146mb to this card but everytime I try to the things stalls after a third of the way. What can I do?
Have you tried right click then send to, then choose your card reader?
I don't have a card reader so that's no good. Why does it keep stalling and won't let me copy across?
USB hub?
I've heard of backing-up failing when the cradle is plugged into a USB hub. Maybe the same is true when transferring large amounts of data - as you are. If you use a hub, try bypassing it and going directly from your PC.
bought a new 512mb Kingston Mini sd card . I cannot seem to transfer anything to it. Both my PC and the Wizard `see' the card and register the correct size but I cannot transfer anything to it. Any help appreciated. I read somewhere you need to format a new card on the wizard ??? how do I do this
:roll:
you can use StorageTools
Hi Pat thanks for the reply.
What is the executable file you suggest ? is it for using on my PC or the wizard? whats the method ?cheers
its the desktop instalation of storage tools.

download link - http://www.softwinter.com/download.html
Its just pat hotlinked the exe file
yes, sorry. My post could have been a bit more explicit. By the way, what do you mean when you say you can't transfer anything to your card?
Is it just using ActiveSync or did you try your card on your PC with a card reader? If you do have a card reader then you don't really need storagetools . Just format it on your PC and it should be allright.
Another solution is to get WM5Storage (see this post) It will turn your Wizard into a USB drive so that you can copy files without the hassle of activesync or play music files on the card from the desktop, and since it will be seen as a usb drive...format it!
The guy who came up with WM5storage is a genius, I had been looking for this kinf of software ever since I had my fisrt smartphone years ago
Good luck
Hi Pat thanks thats brilliant.
I use a USB reader for the card but it is placed into a SD holder first because my 7:1 PC reader doesn't accept mini SD .
I can see the card and it registers the correct size 512Mb It seems to be accepting drag n drop in explorer and I can see the burn led writing to the card.
When I put it in the wizard it registers the card and offers to find the files so far so good. It then sees the files and transfers them to `libray'?but they don't show up in either the wizard's explorer or win media ?
well that was an interesting 15 minutes :shock:
Clicked on the link Danny gave and got a lockup followed by a BSOD from which the only escape was pull the power lead and reboot. I would advise anyone to treat with caution.
Hello again peanut!
You mean that just by clicking on a the link you got a BSOD? Amazing!
Back to your SD Card, have you tried 3rd party file explorer such as gsfinder (my favorite) or resco explorer to see if they access your card properly? And also try TCMP instead of WMP. For one, it's much better anyway and I've read somewhere (here I guess) that some people had trouble getting WMP to "see" their media files on the SD. Anyway, I guess it would be a good idea to reformat you card in either FAT32 or FAT16 with 512 bytes cluster so as to waste the minimum amount of storage
It may be related to a prolem I have periodically with firefox not loading . Ithink zone alarm is involved as well so I may need to re-install the lot
thanks for the suggestion about TCMP and yes I'll try a fresh format see what happens cheers
The link in my post was found by right clicking Pat12's link and looking at the URL.
All the links are from the same website and i seriously doubt anything is wrong with any of them, check your firewall as it can interupt file transfers and cause things to hang.
My mini sd card and my friends weren't working for banana's. untill i formatted them on the pc unsing a card reader. now they work fine.
never found out why the cards weren't correctly formatted to start with, guess i'm not bothered as they work great. they were also kingstons
thanks for your input RJ webb I'll try a re-format.
Danny your link is fine it was probably my zone alrm plus the drive had gone to sleep lol no blame mate just thanks for your help
Is it a branded card, where did you get it from?
I bought a 2gb unbranded one and it sometimes doesn't show up in the device, and sometimes corrupts the data on the card - so I assume its faulty/dodgy.
I've ordered a sandisk one to replace it with, hope that one works better.
Hi Scotland its a Kingston card I bought off ebay. Probably a crap card knowing my luck. I'll try re-formatting it on another computer maybe that will help.

I hate to ask the obvious, but is it locked with the little switch?
ha ha not so obvious actually because it was at first before I noticed it had a lock the other day. Thanks for the suggestion
I love my wing but one of the several suckky things about it is the file transfer, if i am transfering a files that is anything bigger han like 5o mb it takes mad long to tranfser from my pc to my phone. And files like movies are impossible to transfer. I was trying to transfer a movie to my phone and even after waiting about 5 hrs. it did not finish the transfer. That basically means that i can't use my phone as video player. That suck, or is there a way that i could speed up the ttransfer speeds, tips tricks hacks, anything is fine. Except i don't want ot go too far with the hacks. Thanks people
Why dont you just pop-in the microSD into its SD adapter and put it into the cardreader? I'm using a sandisk branded microSD and it transfer 1.7GB in <5mins!
For smaller data transfers(<40mb),I use activesync.
I am aware of the solution that you gave me, but the problem is that my computer does not recognize the micro SD card in the SD adopter, which by the way is Sandisk branded and the two came together. Is there a way i can make that work??

I think he meant the phone's built in connection.
^exactly what I meant. A $15 1GB flash drive has USB 2.0, but this $400 phone can't...
yay, my computer recognizes my card, but still no good.
Ok so finally after waiting an hour for my computer to recognize my Micro sd card which was in an sd adopter, it finally did it. But then when i tried to open it it took another 35 minutes to respond. And then it said that the card is'nt formatted and asked me if i wanted to format it. i know that if i format it for my computer all it's previous data will disaper, so what should i do.
There is a possibility that the cardreader doesn´t support the size of your memorycard. For examplae my laptop is equipped with a bulit-in cardreader that supports SD&Memorystick BUT only up to 1GB. Anything above that (for example my 2GB card from my digicam) and I get the same results as you do. Sometimes i isn´t recognized and sometimes it is but extremely slow but I can never write anything to it.
So is there anything i can do about that?
hi, guys, i just bought the t-mobile wing and i have one problem with it.
I tried to copy some mp3 files to my wing using usb cable, the mp3 files
are about 128mb, however it took me 40 minutes to transfer them.
is this normal? how can i connect the wing as a " card reader ", the transfer
speed is way tooo slow, please help.
Thank You.
Mine copies slow too. When I want to dump a bunch of TV shows to it, I do it before bed time.

I realize that if I use Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista) to transfer files, it seems to be a bit slower than if I use WM5torage. Now, in general, I still think both methods are slow. I transfer everything through my media card reader which is heck of a lot faster. It'll easily rip 1GB within a couple of minutes to my Kingston 4GB microsd. My other alternative is to use my usb microsd card reader. I only use WM5torage and Activesync as my last resort. But honestly, after owning the Dash/Wing, I think HTC made a pretty slow card reader to begin with. I also think that the microsd card reader in the phone wasn't design to read fast anyway since it only supported up to 2GB back using WM5.
Hey
Wanted to copy my music folder to my tablet so I draged and dropped the music folder and it copied for a while then it says that the usb device has stopped responding. So I had to disconnect and connect.
Now I have to copy like 20-30 folders and repeat doing that and after a while it gives the same error again so i have to disconnect and connect again and start copying again.
It have taken me several hours just to copy 12 GB music. Is there any fix for this? Copy to different usb devises and my phone works good.
I want to copy some movies to the tablet too but I have a feeling it's going to be a hell doing that...
I don't have the best answer but can tell you what I did. I decided to use an external micro SD card instead and copied everything to it in a card reader and then put the card into the tablet. I am using a cheapo 32gb class something card I found at Fry's.
I had decided to take the tablet out of the mix early on because my rooted Xoom tablet does the same thing after copying over a bunch of stuff on Linux.
