Memory card - can´t find = ? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi,
My Hermes cannot anymore find the memory card: "Not installed".
How can I fix this?
The problem started when I interrupted a syncronisation to Win Media Player 11.
I have tried to soft reset the Hermes both without and with the memory card but whitout results.
?
Because the time in Sweden is almost two in the morning I will go to bed now but will check any responses as soon as I can.

Have a read of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324. There are various fixes for this problem.

Ok, but how?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply and with a solution! I am not shure I have the exactly same problem, the Hermes doesn´t even find a directory folder for the memory card, but I want to try the solution proposed in the thread you sent.
But I don´t know WHERE I should do the hack and how, just write the below?
Is it here somewhere? "Settings / System-flap / ?
THE SOLUTION
"After working at the issue for a while, here is the end results:
Do the following reg. hack (numbers are in DECIMAL!
hex equiv. is 0x2004):
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
"PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
"PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196"
/Danne

You need to download a registry editor (eg: PHM RegEdit) to make these changes. Search the forum... cabs have been posted many times... or google it!
Hope this helps!

OK
I will try that, but not today, it seems as that may take a while to fix.
Thanks, both of you!
/Danne

actually, once you get the registry editor, it takes only a couple of minutes...

Hmm... my experice is that that nothing EVER take only a couple of minutes when it comes to computers
Is it the memory card that needs to be fixed or, is it the memory card specifically in connection with my TyTN (Hermes) only? I´m thinking about selling it and need to know if the buyer needs to fix this first.
I already ordered a larger Kingston memory - I noticed that people in the other thread seemd to think they were more stable, but I don´t know who to trust. I have gotten a lot of help from this forum and it is great (!), when I learn more I hope to give some back. But I know companies pays people to sit all day and recommend products in forums like these .

1.06 ROM, GPRS not always-ON

Has anyone come up with a fix so that the GPRS is back to being always on as it was in the original 1.03 ROM? I have read some posts on this on other sites, but I have not found anything here. I assume that I have everything set properly, but the GPRS has to be started every time now.
In general I do not feel that the 1.06 ROM upgrade did much of anything to enhance my device, and quite frankly I wish I was back to 1.03, however, I have heard that a new ROM upgrade will soon be released and I bet that one or I hope that one will provide some real value and fix things.
I've posted this in another thread, here's the quote:
Here's a solution I've done to my XDA II with T-Mobile GPRS problem. I don't know who came up with this solution, but thanks to my friend who suggested this at PDAMobiz.com.
1. After a hardreset and completing the initial screen alignment, interrupt the auto-installation process by softreset your XDA II (you have 3 seconds before the files in Extended_ROM will automatically install).
2. Make your Extended_ROM viewable, whether by using the Extended ROM Viewer from http://www.ppcw.net or Extended ROM Switcher (sorry I forgot the link).
3. Now, install each cab files, except TMD_AP_NL.sa.CAB. In fact, I also disregarded, Caller ID, and some other TMD stuff.
As a result, the GPRS is now always-on as it should be.
Cheers,
Thank you for responding to this post. I had to wait quite awhile.
Your #3. states to install the cab files and disregard the TMD files. Did you delete these files or just not open them? What are these TMD Files for?
I assume that I cannot, at this point and without a hard reset, just delete the TMD Files that are viewable in my Extended Rom. Is this a correct assumption or could I accomplish the same goal by just deleting those files?
Thank You

Yes you need to delete does file from Extended_ROM and hard reset it.
Or hard reset, quickly soft reset after you finish the screen calibration, run the extended_rom viewer and manually open/run each of the cab files except the mention cab. ( basically follow exactly what jopard said ).
I read also somewhere in this forum that someone did a differrence search on the registry between GPRS always on and GPRS off when idle. With this method you can change the setting without hard reset.
Hi, the mentioned cab installs the following registry key (among others):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"CacheTime"=dword:0000003c
"SuspendResume"=hex(7):\
69,6e,74,65,72,6e,65,74,00,00,00,00
I guess it must be the SuspendResume setting. Can you post your setting without applying the cab file?

"CacheTime"=dword:00000258
And yes my GPRS is always on.
Hm, I'll try that, but I had another problem:
When I was always GPRS-connected my GSM-connection was always lost
after 12-24h. The device showed that it is connected but I could not dial out and I could not be called.
Now since I am not "always on" anymore I do not have this problem anymore.
Did you experience something similar?

Is there a way to do this without hardrestting? It just took me two hours to load all the program into XDA. Can I just hack the reg?
thanks
my rom
My rom does not even have this cab in the ext file. Can I hack it in the reg?

SuspendResume
What does this look like in the registry:
This is my setting running my own cook 1.60.06 skiping that file:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"SuspendResume"=hex(7):7E,00,47,00,50,00,52,00,53,00,21,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
I have PHM Registry Editor, and entering the entire string does not look like a meaningful option.
Is it a REG_DWORD with a base of HEX ?
Regards
Michael
I use resco registry editor you can just import in that registry.
I found another post regarding this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=26866
I'm afraid I do not understand how this thread has evolved.
I understand the posts that speak to the hard reset and softreset within 3 seconds to keep the device ROM applications from loading. From there to install fix for viewing extended ROM files and then load everything except TMD, and perhaps some of the T-Mobile apps you do not want. Although the response says a specific TMD file and some other TMD-no specifics, all or some?
The balance of the thread seems to speak to radio settings.
Is it being said that you can change some settings on the radio stack and get the GPRS always on? If so how do you do this in reasonably simple terms?

Nonintrusive Keep-Alive
The intrusive solutions are enticing to me but they are for "developers". From a user's point of view, I am always worried about doing something and then not being able to restore it to the original state (or having to spend a lot of time to get back) should something go wrong. My bandage solution (unique to my use situation) is to open an ssh or a telnet window and run a shell script which loops to print the current timestamp and then sleeps for 5 seconds. A T-Mobile tier 2 tech guy told me that the disconnection was by design for the benefit of network service providers so that they can save on connection resources.
By the same token, I like the Keep-Alive application solution - I think it is worth my $2.45 (See thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5220). I wonder if the to-come T-Mobile Windows PPC 2003 comes with some sort of control that is equivalent to the Keep-Alive application - in a matter of a month or two, supposedly.

programmatically hard reset a wm5 device

Hi.
Anyone know how to perform a hard reset within a windows mobile 5.0 device?
Tried with SetCleanRebootFlag() and KernelIoControl() but seems like the SetCleanRebootFlag is ignored.
The SetCleanRebootFlag() function was an undocumented feature within 2003 devices, and now it seems like it is gone. There now exist a ExitWindowsEx() function to do soft reset, but I cant seem to find out how to do a hard reset.
Any tips, anyone?
Thanks
Any news on this topic? I really need that functionality too....
if you're in a position to test it, could you try to hard reset with my app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39637&highlight=
If it works, good. If not, whoops
V
Sorry to say that the Hard reset part of you application does not work on WM 5.0 devices. It probably works on WM 2003 if you use SetCleanRebootFlag();
By the way! All the shortcuts in the cab file points to \program files\.... For norwegian users the path is \programfiler\. So I had to move the .exe file to \program files\ to make them work...
t0flus: I'm aware of this shortcut issue. I'll have to make a custom installer. But unfortunately it was the only way the cab manager would let me carry shortcuts with command line parameters.
Thanks for confirming the SetCleanRebootFlag issue. I'll investigate it on WM5. Please drop me a line if you find a good solution. I read some stuff on the msdn blogs a long time ago on this issue.
V
Hi Vj!
Here are some test results that may (or may not) save you some time:
I tried SetCleanRebootFlag(); with both KernelIoControl and ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT, 0), on several WM5 devices and they all produced soft reset only.
Short googling session reviled this question on several other forums, some (like google groups) had a post from someone claming to be MS official stating that it cannot be done at this point.
Personally I'm not inclined to believe that...
Side note:
I do know that WM5 has a slight registry bug (feature?), where if you reset with the SR button or with KernelIoControl you may loose the last registry changes because they are not saved when you call RegCloseKey but on some regular interval (???).
ExitWindowsEx saves the registry before rebooting.
levenum: have you tried it on the emulator? I'm fairly positive when I wrote VJEschaton that I tried it there and it worked. I wasn't in a position to test on a read device, but that throws up some odd questions.
I'll go into this a bit further as soon as I can. Quite interesting... forced hard reset is important occassionally!
V
Didn't have time to mess around with the emulator, but I remembered this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35046
Could the hard reset been a bug?
It must be a way to do this by code. The ClearStorage.exe does it......So I bet it's another undocumented feature...

What if you try to think about this in another way? What if you force a hard reset by loading the app to memory, formatting the storage then doing a soft reset? Technically, it should equal to a hard reset...
Did I read somewhere that the programmer for Pocket Hack Master had it doing a hard reset for a bit of time if the wrong registration key was entered?
Does anyone know him. He might have the answer. Although, it may have been pre WM5.

it was definatelly pre-WM5, it think it was in late 2004...
Guys, can you test the new VJEschaton v0.12 for WM5 hard reset?
Thanks!
V
Hi Vj!
Tried your program on a couple devices (iPaq 1950, 2490, don't have a phone) but got nothing but soft resets. Nice app though.
t0flus: could you upload the ClearStorage.exe please. I could take a closer look at it if I get some spare time. If we get lucky it may reveal a call to some hidden API.
Ofcourse! Here it is!
The zip file includes a MUI file. Files with that extension is not allowed here, so I had to zip it.
vijay555: Where can I download VJEschaton v0.12? Seems to me that your web site only contains v0.11?
t0flus: if you download the cab on my website, is it still giving v0.11? Poo. I tell you, CE Cab Manager is going to kill me one day (a bad workman...)
I may not have saved v0.12 properly into the cab. I'll try to upload it again, maybe lunchtime GMT today.
V
Thanks for the file t0flus!
Files with MUI extension are localized resources (like all the menus in your local language). They have the same name as the file who's resources they replace + language code (in hex) + .mui
Vj: when I downloaded VJEschaton at about 8 am (GMT) its dialog caption read v0.12,
that’s what I tested. Was there a mix up with the cab or did you just forget to update the version listing on the site?
levenum: ah, it was v0.12 you wanted.
v0.12 should hard reset an HTC Universal. I don't think it'll hardreset any other non-HTC WM5 phone (although I can't even be sure it'll work on a Wizard, I'd be grateful for someone to test it there as well)
I don't think so far there's a generic WM5 hard reset, we have to figure out the KernelIOControl - I'll make some enquiries. But I'd be grateful if someone could download v0.12 and test it on a Uni & Wiz'r.
V
PS I don't always update my website. I'm more active on here then there! v0.12 was finished late at night. I'll update the info now.

"This device is restricted from downloading this file t

My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!
It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.
ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).
Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....

Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...
Thank you very much, much appreciated.

I have not checked if changing these have fixed my issue or not so lets find out I will post back with the result. Should I try removing the additional ones found on my MDA?
Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem
I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,
Sapan
Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?

Restricted Download !!!!! Hum
Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help
SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!
And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case

I have same problem in my x2,and can't find any way to solve it ,I search vsync in registry,change 0 to 1,but it also ''screen tearing''
ps,x1 seem not has this problem...
What can we do to solve this?
Sorry to my bad english.
Warning: I have placed only the non-HTC tweaks here and HAVE NOT TESTED THEM YET. Any changes you apply or programs you use will be at your own risk!
I would have tested this already if I could but I will only be able to after a few days when I get my new X2 (again). I just wanted to give possible solutions besides turning on Vsync.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activating VSync only will not solve your problem because screen tearing is usually caused by a combination of bad video and file access configuration.
To answer your request here is what I found for the VSync registry location (please confirm this):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\LCDC]
"Vsync"=dword:1
And here is a list of possible tweaks for the X2:

HKLM/System/StorageManager/Filters/fsreplxfilt/ReplStoreCacheSize To: 131072
This creates a filesystem 128k sector cache filter, improves data throughput from ROM to RAM (probably) and does seem to improve indexing response and file browsing.
EDIT: file explorer just loaded my “Windows” directory in half a second with this enabled , and the screen does not tear when scrolling the list either any more
Change:
HKLM/Drivers/Display/VMMaxHeapSize To: 33554432
This changes the VideoMemory max heap from 16k to 32k
Change:
HKLM/Drivers/Display/Settings/SMI2 AllocSizeMB To: 32
Change:
HKLM/System/GDI/Drivers/Bpp To: 24
Now this IS interesting. I dont know if its just me, but were HTC holding out on us display wise? Changing the BitsPerPixel (colourdepth) from 16 to 24bit, for some reason, whether the display is actually capable of true colour or not, not only MAKES THE SCREEN LOOK BETTER but its also FASTER

Can somebody test the above a provide a feedback thru all the points Xareth suggested us?
I'm not able to do this my X2 is not available for a a month or so.
Who is coming up with these crappy settings? Most of them are NONEXISTENT in my X2!!! And many of the rest are already much higher!
This is not a HTC phone and has no such hardware and NOT most of those HTC specific windows registry settings a HTC phone has.
Please post only registry settings and changes of such, which are existing in the X2.
Thank you!
I agree.
I think all that Xareth says, comes from the HD2... But I tried to add the non-existent keys => nothing !
And i have already tried GfxBoost, NeoS2007 and SpeedBooster, this hasn't solved the problem.
I think that without hardspl, nobody knows anything do
What happens when you try to help and warn in CAPITALS that you have not tested it.
Thank you all for your replies to my post above.
First of all, really sorry to have disappeared but I have entered a new job and have been busy as heck to reach a stable setup.
Even though the testing of the reg keys failed, I am happy that it at least has gotten us closer to finding a solution since we found out they did not work
What next? Well, what else! Gotta try to find other ways. This time I can test since I have my X2 and am using it regularly.
@lo: don't give up, don't assume it's the end! I am now checking if it has to do with the SD card access (delayed reading).
@michaelthemage: I know you are frustrated and want a working answer at once, but:
1. this is a community forum not a support centre so don't assume I or anyone else is making up any crappy settings. We're just trying to find the right answers.
2. and yes, I can make mistakes just like you or anyone else. For example you did not read my first line saying I did not test the settings since I did not have a device to test with! Demanding much?
3. I don't think we can limit things to X2 only registry settings because first of all, it's not out there in the open to know which settings are only for X2! I removed the obvious HTC reg keys and went on from there. I think that is the next best thing to finding an answer, instead of hitting a dead end. I ask you to also try to find an answer or at least post something more constructive.
4. Sony previously worked with HTC (HTC was making the components for previous Sony devices) and therefore it is logical there may be some HTC keys which are applicable. I will tell you right now many fixes that work for HTC work for the X2! Have you ever wondered why? Of course I may be wrong too but I'm trying to find out if I am!
5. Let's go on to hardware. Many smartphone manufacturers are only integrators. Even HTC buys its parts from another company in China. So don't tell me it does not have similar hardware to HTC until you have opened both companys' phones and confirmed (which I have btw, the opening not the confirming). It's like saying LG Laptops do not have LCD screens like Samsung Laptops when Samsung manufactures the LCDs for LG.
Get a life!
Dude, I don't have the time nor inclination to answer this crap in several paragraphs. Still these reg settings are crap and somebody posting this crap is responsible if any noob applies them and screws up their phones. That is the crap! That's it!

PROBLEM with DATE AND TIME on PHOTOS

Hi , need you're help about that thing ' there are tow dates instead of one , how can i fix this ?
iv attached a photo of the problem i have
How many threads are going to make for the same problem?
haven't you already asked about this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744662
obviously we haven't come up with a solution yet. Have you called htc or your carrier to see if they have an idea?
YES

yes i did asked about it but i haven't got any solution so i am asking here , i called my carrier and they didn't have any solutions to my problem , its so frustrating
i'd be asking for a replacement then, unless it isn't that big of a deal to you. I don't think I even have date and time enabled on my pics.
How do you do it?
have you tried turning the timestamp off in camera settings?
YES

yes , i did it , but i want the time stamp on my pictures .
my (wild) guess is that maybe somewhere in registry there are two independent entries responsible for putting date on a photo, and both marked 'on'
so if you have time and patience, you could, try to dig a bit in following keys:
HKCU\Software\Camera,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera
HLKM\Software\Camera
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera
HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera
tried myself a little, but did not manage to replicate your problem...
or mayb just contact HTC web support?
Guide please

I would like to to help me on how i do what you suggested me
first I'd definitely recommend contacting HTC support here, because it is the easiest and fastest thing you could do
secondly - did you try to reflash your ROM? it may or may not help, depending on whether your problem is of hardware of software nature (don't know how is the timestamp imposed on the photo, but my bet goes to software)
- word of caution here - backup system before re-flashing or you will loose all data (see below for app list)
thirdly - toying with registry - by far the most painful/timeconsuming/frustrating way:
invest in good backup app and make full system backup before doing anything in registry,
available solutions: SPB Backup, Sprite Backup or Resco Backup - all commercial; there may be some freeware apps available of which I am not aware though
get some registry editor: CeRegEditor or TotalCmd, Dotfred's TaskMgr (all free), or Resco Explorer (commercial),
thus armed browse your registry (only the keys I listed earlier) looking for entries which names seem to be timestamp-related
when you stumble upon suspicious/promising entry try changing its value (e.g. from 1 to 0 or else) -> soft reset -> check if it worked -> rinse, repeat
if you happen to crash your system - restore it from backup, and start again
I hope the 3rd option does not look too scary, in fact it could be finished in few hours max (whether successfully or not is another story)
Thank you for you're help

I see now, that somehow the first line of my rather lengthy post dispappeared...
maybe it's obvious, but I meant to list those 3 bullets as alternatives, i.e. you don't need to dig in registry if reflashing ROM helps,
and consequently no need to reflash ROM if HTC support provides some solution
Thanks
