All,
Does anyone know how to store IE favorites onto the MicroSD card instead of \Windows\Favorites?
Thanks
M
Is it safe to install other programs to the micro SD card like a gps program (I have teletype GPS - at least there is no monthly fee - I have in my Dell Axim X50V) like voice command 1.6, pocket informant and others..
Thank you for any insight
I do the same , i save programs on the Micro SD. I have not seen any problems yet. it seems to be okay.
regards

I will be recieving the t-mobile ameo and i would like to know if maps for navigation programs such as tomtom or copilot can be stored and run from the internal memory instead of an SD card?
I have only got a micro sd card.
thanks
You just copy whats needed to the 8GB internal drive (Maps, Voices, Postcode data etc), as for program installation I let them go on the device, there is loads more memory available on the Ameo than the C-III - Mike

It's been a while since this one came up - see workaround here:

and you can use the google sticky post search function to search for msmetadata.
There is a different and better solution for those who use windows vista when syncing which I can post links to if needs be.

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!

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.
