mount phone as hdd

Any posibility to mount the phone as a network drive?
Active Sync works alright but I'd rather browse it with my fav filebrowser - total commander.

WM5Storage

Did you try WM5Torage?
It can be downlaoded from here:ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Software/PPC Software MAIN/wm5torage.cab
Description here: http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/wm5torage.shtml
Edit: just got beaten

thanks guys! will give it a try

So, why don't you use the plugin for TotalCommander?

Bye, Peter

Woot ! Works perfectly with TC (i got the 1f error on WMStorage even though I hadn't any progs running on the card ) Thanks a bunch

I think, TC plugin is not the best sollution, because it still requires ActiveSync on desktop.
But Softick CardExport (v2.20) works fine, even they don`t mention Trinity as supported device
I also tried WM5storage, but unfortunately it just hangs up during writing.

I have installed Softick Cardexport II on my Trinity..
It may sound stupid, but where/how do you start it??? (I don't have an icon at bottom right ...)
Regards

About Program Memory

Hi, I am new to this forum. Cut to the chase, I have this dopod 818pro that as you know, has too little program memory. I am wondering if there is any application that enable me to use my SD card as program memory instead...

Unfortunatly this is not possible

Mass Storage Mode

Has anyone had any luck in getting the Treo Pro to function as a USB mass storage device (using WM5torage, CardExport II, some ported hack of the WM6 USB control panel applet, or some other solution)?
I'm considering getting rid of my iPod as the Pro works quite well with Kinoma Play, but getting the files on using Activesync is painfully slow, and pulling the card out of the TP to connect directly to my computer is, well, just not a realistic option.
Thanks!

I've installed "Wei enterprise's USB to PC" as all of the usual suspects refused to work. This one works - but only intermittently. There is a conflict between these and the Palm programme that installs activesync.
I have made it work by keeping an eye on the phone screen and "cancelling" whenever the installation programme runs. Once we get into the ROM Dump, hopefully we'll be able to uncook this activesync installer and make this work properly!

You probably don't need a rom cooking for that. Just try task manager v.3.1 from this forum, and go to service and device tab. One of them is your mass storage service ( be carefull, there is also a real storage service, which serves your SD and internal memory). Just stop it, and see how your program works.
If you don't know which one to stop, just post here the list of all running services, and I'll tell you what to try.

Which service are you talking about? None of them seem to be labeled as mass storage...

I tried nueMassStorage on my Treo 800w and my PC would intermittently recognize it as a mass storage device, but the 800w does not have any ActiveSync installer. Still the PC would lose recognition of the Treo 800w as a mass storage device and get it back every minute or so.
But even when my PC could recognize my Treo 800w as a mass storage device, the speed of data transfer was exactly as slow as when connected via ActiveSync. There was no improvement in transfer speed at all. When using a MicroSDHC card reader data transfer goes very fast, especially with class 6 cards.
Every program I've used to turn my Treo 800w into a mass storage device may or may not work, but none improves transfer speed at all.
Perhaps the Treos are just slow?

I do miss Mass Storage since all my Sanyo's and BB Curve had it. Loaded up movies Hancock, The Dark Night, Zohan and more in just minutes with it on my Curve. My current 800 does not have it.
Is there a program from the TP that works on the 800?

This is why I'm asking for the list of services. I don't have a treo pro so I cannot help without somebody to be my eyes.

Hey up check out the new version that supports the treo pro. Not tried it yet myself...
http://www.softick.com

This are the candidates to be stopped to see if mass storage works:
HTCUSBToPC Service;Stopped;UTP0:

you can try to stop each one an see how it goes

Try My Mobiler ... works well with Treo Pro.

Is the file transfer rate any better than just using ActiveSync?

I just gave it a shot.... I don't think there's any difference. I suspect what they did is not switch off the treo service, but simply make a virtual mass storage device and still send the data through the RNDIS protocol...
Has anyone else tried it yet?

Did this ever get figured out or is the Softick software the best bet. I just go a TP yesterday and my car radio plays music off of external hard drives so I would like this feature back. Info? Anyone???

Linux-PC access on storage card possible?

Hi all,
is anybody here using Linux on his desktop like I do? I have Kubuntu 8.10 and wonder if it is possible to access the storage card of my Touch HD via USB. Unfortunately HTC did not include any adapters for MicroSD-card and with my Wizard I only used MiniSD ... Would be cool to at least have read & write access to the Touch HD storage card from my Linux PC.
Cheers,
Eriol

Add: When I plug the Touch HD on a Windows XP Desktop PC, on the Touch HD a window appears where I can select Active Sync or "hard disk" mode. This window does not appear when Linux is running one the desktop. Has anyone tried WM5torage on the Touch HD? I have heard that this app has problems with WM6.1 on Touch devices from HTC???

Hi,
I use Linux Mint (is Ubuntu with some additional program/feature) and when I plug in the USB cable I can see the msg: Activesync or HDD mode. And I didn't installed any program to support the PDAs. Once I select the HDD mode I can read/write to my micro-sd card without problem (even if the max write speed is about 3,5MB/sec....not so much). BTW I have the HTC HD TIM ITA branded, with Sandisk 8GB micro-sd.
Sorry for my english

no problem
I use linux and the hd works like a external disk when I plug it in.

Im on Intrepid Ibex here 8.10
I have the latest synce stuff installed and can browse the entire filesystem on my X1, install cabs and check the system information
Use synce-trayicon it's amazing!
If you choose that in Synaptic it should automatically add the dependencies but if not then I use synce-gvfs, synce-hal synce-sync-engine plus most of the synce relevant libs.
Oh yes, I've also got mymobiler running under wine, that's a bit slow but works as well!

Hi fards: That sounds interesting to me. I tried synce a year ago but didn't get it running with my HTC Wizard. As we are using (nearly) the same OS, do you know of a How-to? What programs have you installed for this?
Hi vivus: I tried it once yesterday; I plugged in my Touch HD and the control lamp showed that the battery was charging, but otherwise nothing happened, the Touch HD wouldn'd give me such option and Linux did not recognize Touch HD ... BTW, your English is excellent and I assume that most of us here aren't native speakers ...

I second Synce, I run Xubuntu and it works here with Evolution installed.

Hi, what exactly have you installed? I mean, which packages? Do you need to set up synce somewhere?

As I said, try installing synce-trayicon it should automatically pick up synce-sync-engine.
I've not seen a tutorial that is upto date but the one on the synce wiki will get you up and running (although the latest builds of synce on ubuntu seem to work very well)
*edit* I've just re-read the latest wiki on hardy and it seems irrelevant, mine seems to work out of the box with the latest synce builds, I do have the ppa launchpad as a repo but only have one file from there
I'm using it over HAL rather then vdccm or odccm (synce-trayicon gives you the option to change which to use).
using synce-gvfs you can use synce:// in nautilus (or browse this device using trayicon) to view the entire filesystem in wm6

HTC Pharos : USB 2.0?

Is my pharos really on USB 2.0? cos it takes heck of a time to transfer files

petty is that the interface is rarely the bottleneck when you sync

er sorry but i didnt quite get what you meant to say

that the speed of usb1.1 is not what limit the sync speed
it's the way that sync works that limit it

Rudegar want to say what Pharos don't have USB 2.0

ok thanks

no, what Rudegar says is that is an ActiveSync limit, not a USB speed limit... (i think)
and yes, our pharos have a 2.0 USB as you can see here
cu

yeah but it doesnt reach speeds of even usb 1.0
more like 0.1

oh, thank you.. Didn't know that

can usbtopc app be installed in pharos? and if yes could you kindly post the link for the app? tried searching for it in here but from what i understand it works only for diamond?!

i have a "USBtoPC" item in Settings>Connections, but it just has a checkbox saying "enable advanced network functionality" -- if i deselect this will it work like a USB Stick? (not on my windows computer to try it)
ALso, bump for a USB to PC app that will work like a flash drive for Pharos.

is there some one manage to connect with usb 2 ?
i try it and speed is very slow... even in disk drive mode
please help me

actually, that option doesnt exist in the p3470's version of USBtoPC... so no, its not possible, unless someone wants to make a compatible version of USBtoPC that does have this option...
i just pull out the microSD, its annoying but it works faster than waiting for activesync
