Is there a program out there that will allow the wizard to download files larger than 20mb without being disconnected or wizard getting locked up??
im trying to download some movies to my mda and i dont have my cable with me or a disk ??
I don't know about 20mb file size, but what I do when downloading large files (games, etc) is to disable Sync on Media. You can still download files manually through the explore function.
Sync-ing Media causes ActiveSync to restart every few minutes, interrupting your downloads.
This procedure has worked for me, YMMV.
Try wm5torage - turns your device into a usb stick so you have no transfer issues http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=260755&page=6

Hi all,
I am trying to access files on my pc whilst connected through active sync on my pocket pc (win03) I want to be able to view and play media files with any app. I have been completely baffled as I cannot find a way to access files on PC no matter what I have tried. It appears one would have to purchase a Network (wireless) card to be able to see shared docs.
Does anyone know of anything that may gain me access to files without getting a wireless card
Thanks very much
you could try and read this

Thanks very much for the link. I did have a little look aroundbefore I posted and I did find options for a bluetooth connection.
I was really after a way to do this through active sync without any netowrking sotware or drivers. When I am at work I use a USB cable to sync and I wouldnt mind being able to access files on my main PC.(movies for beta player)
Thanks again for your reply.
I cannot copy a file ( movie, MP3, text file etc) directly from my PC to the SD card in the MDA. In Active Sync I should do this using the Explore button, but when I press it I get the following error: "Critical Communications Services have failed to start. Try resetting your Mobile Device and connect it again". Well, resetting and reconnecting doesn't work, reinstalling active sync doesn't work and opening the Mobile Device icon in my Windows Explorer on my pc gives the same error.
So now I have to copy each file into RAM first and then to my storage card, but since most avi files are too big for the RAM, this is not good enough. Does anyone know what causes the error and how I can fix it?
You didn't mentioned if the issue is related to a single SD or not.
If yes, perhaps a card format (eventually from Windows Mobile) may help...
Bye,
@ngel
do you have a firewall installed? did you set the right permissions for ActiveSync processes?
SD Card Locked?
Hello there
Have you set your SD card to 'Lock'? I have tried transferrring to and from the JAM without any issues so far using both Bluetooth and USB activesync.
Moreover you did mention that you are able to sync, so its not likely to be an activesync problem either. Finally, if you have a desktop firewall you should probably check the settings on that as well - you may have inadvertently (or knowingly) disabled filetransfers of certain types.

It was the firewall...
Ok, I feel sooooo stupid right now!
Your remarks about the firewall triggered my memory, I use the Zonealarm firewall, and altough I had enabled internet access I had not enabled file transfer... After enabling that, I can now see the SD card in Explore. Thanks for your advice!
Cool
Good to hear that you've sorted it out. Funny I didnt have the issue with Zone Alarm or NIS, though...must check it out!
Cheers

The problem was related to the fact that I had not allowed Windows Explorer to access the internet. After I adjusted that, file transfer through Explorer is working fine. thanks for the advice!
Are there any apps that put the phone into like a media storage mode so I can connect to a computer without active sync and still be able to add files to the sd card inside?
I need the same thing. I'm using WM6.

Hi,
Not 100% sure I understand what your trying to do?
I think your trying to move files to and from your SD Card without using activesync?
If so: You have many options.....
~Bluetooth Explorer - It's like having a Shared folder, where you can pull only the needed files you want to keep and copy / paste them anywhere on your WM6 device.
~SD Card Reader - Via Stand alone or a printer to move files back and forth
~Bluetooth FTP - (My Favorite) Move Files and Folders - To & From (PC & PDA)
~WIFI - Depending on your network setup
~Internet Sharing - Via Bluetooth or USB (May need to look at your network setup & security)
~Remote Desktop - Via Bluetooth or USB (Security & Network settings may need to be changed)
Hope this helps!

I'm using Resco Explorer 2007 which allows me to, via wifi, connect to 2 of the computers within my private network. Set up a folder dedicated for PPC files and mapped a network drive to it on my 8525.
I have not been able to connect via wifi to my windows server 2003 machine though.
You want the wm5torage application - it will allow you to put your WM5 or WM6 device into a mode that makes it act as a Mass Storage Device.
The only caveat is that it needs to lock the SD card before putting the device in Mass Storage Mode, so you must install any applications that run constantly (i.e. programs that have Today screen plugins, like Skype) into the device and not on the SD card, or it won't work.
The latest version I know of (that I use) is version 1.73, but there is apparently a version 1.75 at http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1543.

Hey guys, I have a question to ask.
Is there any apps that allow us to browse music / video or any other files from pc and copy or sync them through wifi? For example:
I'm staying downstairs and my pc is upstairs, so kind of lazy to go upstairs to sync my music. So I just use the app, connect wifi and browse the files on my pc from my phone and copy them to my phone.
Any recommendations appreciated. Thanx!
Homepipe might do this for you.
I tried Homepipe, it's a cool software, but it's not exactly what i want. From what i understand, this software is using cloud method. Means that if i want to copy something from my pc to my phone, it will get the file from my pc, go through their server and download to my phone. That'll take a lot of time. I tried to download a song from my pc, and it took ages to finished. And if i use this software, i will reveal my drive widely to the net. It's not something that i would like. What i really need is an app that connects to my pc through the same network only.
