Losing Data on Storagecard

Hi
I've got a super strange problem with my TyTN. I'm loosing my Data on the Storagecard. But only the Data whitch is saved in the "My Documents" Folder such as my Pic's and my MP3's. If i have a look at the Properties of the Storagecard, i see there is about 500MB used. When i select all the Folders on the Card and take a look at the Properties i see only 70MB. Seems like the data is there but i can't see them.
Some ideas? SBP Backup is running each night and makes a Backup from the Phone to the Card. I've formatet the Card 2 Weeks ago but the problem isn't gone.
Software installed:
HTC X Button
Opera
Mort Player
Skype
Sbp Backup
Sbp Imageer
Resco Explorer
TCPMP
Worms
Sorry for my "special" english.

I have the same problem at times which I know is caused by the Camara software.
Solutions anyone?

Hmmm i checked my Card in a Cardreader and with a Filerecovery Software. I could restore my Data. Now I am searching the cause. Its also possible that the Card is bad. For the moment all Data is there and saved on the Desktop. Will see if the data persists...

Have you tried registry
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Terminal server Client\BitmapPersistCacheLocation
The string is set to "\Temp", you can try to change it to your storage card to see if this works.

I tested. It works on my Athena.

file transferring?

anybody know of an easier way (software) to send files to a windows mobile phone instead of activesync... i've tried setting up a local ftp server through my computer and router to send files but i can't get the shadow to connect, was wondering if there was a 1 click program that utilizes the device drivers to just straight out interexchange files...
i know i can do memory card, etc, blah blah blah, but i'm wanting a software solution

Have u tried this. Your PC will see phone as another hard drive

if it works with 6.1, perfect, i'll try downloading directly to the phone and letting you know, thanks for the quick response
works like a champ, thanks korman

An easier way is to use Windows explorer, either in XP or Vista. You'll need to change your folder options in the "computer" in the view tab to show hidden files and folders.
Once you've done this, you'll see the shadow as another drive/device on your windows machine.

just click EXPLORE on the actice sync window in xp or go to computer > your phone on vista.

I find wm5torage to be a little faster than via explorer/activesync

Connect Polaris in "disk drive" - mode?

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!

I tried version 3.13 and it supports MicroSDHC 4gb

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

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.

A few questions/problems with my touch HD

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.
