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?

I'm copying largish files to my storage card (around 200MB) But the progress bar moves REALLY slowly, then gets to about 50%, then it starts over again.. then loops!
I've been copying smaller files (~10-20MB) with no problems whatsoever...
btw: do i HAVE to have activesync loaded to be able to access the storage card?
Any help appreciated, thanks
I could not find a way round this problem with activesync, hopefully someone else will help, I gave up and bought a USB2 universal card read/writer for less than a fiver, this is very quick and large files are no problem, also it plugs into the same lead used for the JasJar. Not sure where you are based, I bought from Ebuyer, good price on Viking 1Gb SD as well.
There is a utility called "WM5torage" available that turns your Universal into a card reader. You don't need AS for this but you do need an OS that will recognise a Mass Storage Device.
If you are giong to be transferring files this size regularly then go the card reader route, less wear and tear on the fragile USB port on the Uni.

Hmmm ok i might get a SD card reader then, i guess, along with a 2GB card heh
Is the USB port delicate? It seems pretty sturdy to me?!

No, there is no need to buy a card reader. Just use this application: "WM5torage", as PReDiToR mentioned from above to transfer large files. This small app transforms your Universal into a card reader and it is free. It is similar in function as Softick's Card Export II.
You can download it here: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=dscript&CODE=showdetails&f_id=1702
Mmmm.. I'm not sure I undestand how WM5torage does anything different that connecting the HTC to a PC as usual and accessing the storage card via the file explorer. Am I missing something?

Ohh ok, i was just worried by the 'fragile USB port' comment!
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.
ok this is kind of wierd but i bought my wizard from a friend. she formated the card to get all the stuff off. and by the time it gets into my hands it doesnt work anymore. the sd cards in the slot and my phone doesnt know its there, also activesync doesnt know its there. so does any one know if there is anything i can do to fix this myself?????? some program or mod?????
but now that i think about it another question comes to mind. is it that card or my phone just f-ed up have know clue????
ok i just read some before this one and my sd is real and its in a 8125 if that helps
The card probably just needs to be reformatted again. The easiest way would be to put it in a card reader and reformat it with your computer. Formatting it with a digital camera sometimes works too if you don't have a card reader.
great idea but each time i put the sd card in something i doesnt act right, for example in my wii, "cant read sd card" in my camra, without it i loads find but when i put it in the on light just comes on, the screen doesnt even come up lol, i put it in my printer/fax it said "error error" with the light flashing im not giving the up on it 10 bucks for a 2gb come on who else does that. anyway i'm also sry for post in the forum didnt see the accessories link, i got so happy to find this place i forgot forum manners.
Sounds like the only thing you have left to try is the card reader. If you don't have one, the easiest thing you can try is to download and install on your phone WM5 Storage, you can get it here - http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/wm5torage.shtml. Then activate it before you connect your phone to the usb cable and it will detect it as a mass storage device and allow you to format it again, as long as the cards not bad.
Was it formatted on an 'oldish' PC or laptop because it may have been formatted to the wrong spec as anything above 1Gb needs a version 2.0 formatter.
Browse the SD manufacturers sites for an SD format utilty (Toshiba, Sandisk, etc) they can sometimes recover them.
wow thank i dont have one but i was just going to take it to office depot and ask if they can do it for me but that cool

Ordered this on Jan 4th for 16.99 shipped, it's a good card just got it today highly recommend it especially at that price.
I just bought one for 14.99 w/shipping from newegg.
Someone said that this card was not being read by the Proven 1.10 can anyone confirm this.
Also I am replacing my current Adata 8gig cl 6 for the mere reason that my device does not recognize it in bootloader mode. I hate to flash from activesync. You all can flash roms and radios through this sd card right? No problems?
Just got my in yesterday... so far so good...
Picked one of these up a week or so a go and it works great!
I did some searching is there any other way to format the memory card to FAT32 other than with a card reader? One more question is this memory card already formatted FAT32?
it doesn't matter. reformat the card. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS REFORMAT THE CARD.
Factory formatting is always screwy. And I'm pretty sure there is an app to format a memory card on winmo...but I'm not sure.
But yea this card is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!

Anyone hear of any SDHC cards not working on the Raph? I have a camera that likes some SDHC but not others. It's not so much by brand as by model. Just curious if it was just me or are there others?
To format your card plug your device to your PC as a "Disk Drive" and format your card via My Computer.
Voila.
Just jumped on this deal. Thanks.
Got mine today. Making separate cards for my Android work for the Kaiser and Raphael, plus another with just media on it. They seem to transfer a lot faster than my class 2 cards.

Umm sorry but how do you plug you device so that the PC can read it as a "Disk Drive"?
When I plug my data cable in it automatically gives me the option to
Auto Sync
Disk Drive
Internet Sharing
choose Disk Drive if applicable, should allow you to see it in My Computer on your desktop now as a physical disk drive.

I've seen many people complain that they wish the Iconia had a full-size SD slot and not a microSD one. Today, I realized that microSD can be a big advantage.
My wife is on a school trip this weekend, currently on a bus with 60 high-schoolers. She just called because she realized that she'd left behind some important instructions that she's supposed to read to the kids on the bus. I can e-mail them to her, but the problem is that the tablet (my Acer Iconia) doesn't have a WiFi connection on the bus and lacks 3G so she can't receive the e-mail there. The instructions would be too small to easily read from her phone. Fortunately, her phone is an Android one with a microSD card. So, I've e-mailed her the instructions - she can save them on the microSD card, swap the card into the tablet, copy the file to the tablet's memory, and then return the cards. This will put the document on the tablet, where she can easily read it.
This made me realize that a similar solution would be useful with photos. I can take the photos on my camera, copy them to the tablet and convert the RAW images to 800x600 JPGs. Next, I can put the JPGs on a microSD card in the tablet's card slot and then put that card into an Android phone to e-mail them as desired. True, having 3G on the tablet, or setting up tethering with the phone, would be better options, but neither are available to me at the present. So, this will be a great solution - when I replace my iPhone with an Android (I hope to have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE/Skyrocket soon).
Thanks for that post. It just shows how far we have come with technology over the years and how tablets are becoming part of every day life.
Just be careful putting the SD card in and out of devices. I think the locking tab on most micro SD cards is much too small and will wear off. This will make the card not hold in.Safari as the Iconia its tough to get micro card locked in .for me anyway.I don't think micro slots should be mechanically spring loaded to small to work correctly.
You can do Bluetooth file sharing between tablet and iteration non android devices.just pare them. I think you have to send the file from the phone.
From my touch pro2 i send files to the A500 via bluetooth. Im sure you can do the same with a android phone. I wouldnt go swapping cards from device to device.
Why didn't she just connect her Android phone to the USB port of your iconia via the cable?

I've found that bluetooth usually works pretty well for transferring small files. It seems to be too slow to transfer larger files quickly, however. With files over 20mb in size I try to use a cable, or even a thumb drive with the acer.

Do the MicroSD cards have locking tabs? The ones I have dont.... thought it was only on the full size.
But aside from that... the OP had the exact same thought as me when I got my tab. Although i really wanted a full size SD slot for the extra capacity and to swap with my camera, I ended up using a Mini/Full SD adapter to use the Minis in my camera.
I bought this from my local Kmart and use the USB adapter in my A500 to read MicroSD from my phone or another tablet. Beats the crap out of actually trying to fiddle the one out from my tablet, and it has the bonus of being able to plug into my PC and my car stereo's USB port if I want to listen to music from it.

Works really well and its a tiny little thing, I can leave it plugged into my tablets USB port all the time and it doesn't get in the way too much at all.

Not write protect locking. Ian refering to the tiny bump on the side of the card that holds it into the slot.This is not used on many phones. But the Iconia SD card locked in by this tab.I have a SD card I used alot between two phones with music on it.this card will not stay in position on my tablet that lock (little bump on card) is worn off

Even with USB storage turned on it won't recognize it! My computer can see both drives on my phone just fine but the tablet gets nothing :/
I intentionally bought a micro SD card + SD adapter for my digital camera so I can easily swap the card into my tablet to transfer photos over. Yes, a USB adapter would have done the job with a regular SD but this is one less thing to carry around. Now I can swap Micro SDs between my tablet, camera and phone. It feels good to be connected
