Hermes produce fake files - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

My Hermes is producing fake files on the storage card and in the HERMES built-in storage.
The files (attribute: system) shows big sizes but in reality they are empty fakes.
I'm not able to delete this dump with Total Commander.
What can i do?
On the storage card i can format the card and recopy the useful files. But on the HERMES built-in storage i'm not interested in a hard reset.

SD Format and Mpeg

Hello,
I have 3 items on my plate and I'd appreciate any feedback regarding them:
1) i'm using a 512 mb card; i was having some difficulty because the memory of the card would only go up to around 300. at first i thought there was a problem with the card itself so i had to constantly erase the contents to make mp3s, files, pics, mpegs, etc fit. then i stumbled upon the pc command for formatting disks; there were 3 options to format the sd card: FAT, NTFS and FAT32. when i used fat32; the behavior was the same and the memory usage would only go up to 300 max. when using ntfs; my xda2 refused to recognie the card (it wouldn't show up in the explorer app). when i formatted using FAT, everything was great. i can now use the sd card to it's limits and am no longer restricted to the 300-mb trouble i was having.
question: what's the difference in the 3 formats? obviously using FAT was the best thing to do, but what's with the other formats?
2) i was having some problems with loading up mpegs in the sd card. i created folders (example: mp3s, movies, pics, etc). naturally i placed the mpeg files in the "movies" folder; when i used pocket tv to play them the files were not recognized. when i used pocket mvp video came out but a sign kept flashing "error in audio". when i loaded the mpeg files straight to the sd card (no folders assigned), pocket tv and pocket mvp played them perfectly.
question: anyone else experiencing this and if yes what's the story? the mp3 files are in a folder and i don't stumble into any issues with those items.
3) anyone know of a good vcd-ripper program where i can extract clips or create my own small mpeg files? i'd like to extract some of the more memorable scenes in some movies...rather than waste space by seeing scenes which bore me.
cheers mates

Some hints
Hi,
i also have a 512 meg sd card for my XDA 1, without any problems.
Try to format the card using the storagetools freeware:
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/StorageTools-2002-4-5-ce-pocketpc.html
I also have mp3's and mpeg's on this card. Make sure that you use the latest version of activesync to tranfer the files to the sd card or use a sd card adapter (i use a pcmcia adapter).
here is how to produce your own media files for the ppc:
http://www.mathiaspohl.de/mda
There are 2 sections, 1st is about "How to create DIVx files" for the PPC, the second one is "How to create media files" (i.e. wmv) for this.
regards, Koponet
Not too impressed with storagetools.
It only detected my XDA-IIs 14MB of ROM and not my 512MB SD card.
maybe you should try ....
format SD card within external SD reader attached to notebook, using some desktop application ... or try using
http://www.cnetx.com/Format/download.asp
and verify SD media for errors ...

FAT (File Allocation Table), FAT32 and NTFS (NT File System) are file systems originally made for disk partitions. FAT (also called FAT16) was the original file system used in DOS and has a partition size limit of 2 GB. FAT32, an extended variant of FAT16, was introduced first in Windows 95 OSR2 and increased the partition size limit to 2 terabytes. NTFS, a totally different file system, was introduced in Windows NT. Unlike the FAT file systems, NTFS has security and transaction rollback features. Random access to a huge file is also more efficient in NTFS. Moreover, while the file size limit on FAT32 is 4 GB, a file on NTFS can grow up to 16 exabytes (16 billion gigabytes).
question to JARGON please
today I have tested sandisk 512MB SD card ....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have 512MB SD card and am allowed to fill it up to the full limit of roughly 484MB and not 512MB, ok .. it is a matter of formatting plus a consequence of the fact that 1MB equals 1024kB but I am curious about the other thing .... I remember old times back with IPAQ + PCMCIA sleeve with inserted flash card 1280MB of sandisk - the size written on the back of the card WAS EXACTLY matching what PPC2002 was showing .... 1280MB
to me it seems like either different "disk geometry" or disk format - can anyone explain it to me pls

An SD card uses a portion of its memory for its security data. That's why you can't use the entire capacity of the SD card. That's also the reason why an MMC, which doesn't have the SD card's security features, has more available memory than an SD card with the same total capacity.
uuups, you are right ...
according to Sandisk SD card manual
http://www.sandisk.com/oem_sd_memorycard.html
user can access only 940,864 bytes plus 10,240 secure area (which are not accessed by user) ... what a rip-off on 512MB card format .. upppps :wink:

Memory Allocation under WM5 (Program/Storage)

How can I adjust the storage memory and program storage memory under memory allocation ICON? Can we adjust? I have the capacity problem on the storage memory. During activesync everytime, my iSilo document cannot be synchonize as my storage memory was not enough for 11MB.
Can iSilo support the file synchronized on the storage card folder?
Regards,
Victor
I don't think there is "storage" on the WM5 devices. Not sure, don't use mine much, but because of the unified memory structure it's not necessary AFAIK.
However, for isilox, just change the "target" of the file, remove your PDA from the target and instead export to a file, eg on your desktop. Make the ebook, and then just use activesync to explore and copy the converted pdb anywhere on your phone. I use \my documents\!ebooks

Thanks for your advice. Eventually, I have located the method to export the file to Storage Card.
Yes, WM5 system did not have much storage space for storing data.

Victor

Where has my memory gone?

I have a 256MB card, and when I go to start>settings>system>memory, and click on storage card, it says I have a 242.23MB card. I understand this difference, but what I dont understand is this: It says I have 149MB used, but when I go into a file explorer (total commander) and highlight all the files on my storage card, it only accounts for 85MB (with no folders hidden). In memaid, im told i am using 124MB used.
What's going on?
Reformat your SD-card.
Block Size
Files on disk (or storage cards) are stored in blocks. Off-hand I can't remember what the block size would be on a (FAT) storage card, but 4K rings a bell.
Two files can not occupy the same block, so if you have a two one-byte files, they will be using 8K of your storage card (two 4K blocks).
Typically, programs that count files will only be counting the file sizes - so in my example above, that would be two bytes, whereas 8K will have gone from your card.
Usually this makes next to no difference to life. However, if you happen to have lots of smallish files on the card, this can account for some very large differences.
Not quite sure it explains what you are seeing, but I offer it up as a possible reason...
Umm ok. Cheers for the replies. Any other suggestions before i reformat it?
Cheers
Put your card in a cardreader, copy all files to a temp folder on your PC. Format the card an copy all files back to the card.
Few minutes work, probably problem solved.
What other suggestions do you need?

my 1Gb MicroSD file size mystery

Before upgrading to the AKU 3.3, I thought I would re-format my MicroSD on my laptop (Vista) so it will perform in optimal mode (to avoid fragmentation).
So, I copied all the programs, pictures, videos and TomTom maps to my laptop, formatted the MicroSD with FAT format (16k segments).
When I was about to transfer the files back, the copy command complained that the files are too big for the 1Gb SD I had. I was surprised since these are the same files that were on the MicroSD before. I looked at my laptop and I was surprised to see that the total memory of the same files is now 1.3Gb. I assume the copy command added some extra garbage to the files due to segment size of my disk, am I right?
Is there a way to eliminate any extra space added to the files when they were copied to my laptop? I really want all these files back on the MicroSD as they were all on this MicroSD to start with (and I even had few tens of Mb free!)...
Help...
Format it as FAT32....

[Q] Motorola Atrix MB860 - Format Issue

I have Motorola Atrix MB860, Android Version 2.3.4 and BuildNo. 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31
My Problem is there are some folders and files are on Internal storage which are not geting deleted, if i do hard reset and reboot my phone i can have all those folders and files are back, even i have attached my phone with Mini Partition Tool and format with 0 level but still files and folder same on internal memory even if i add any Memory card it won't mount and can not acessable from any file manager, even if i copied to internal memory it copied successfully but again when i check with file manager or reconnet to PC and check my copied files are not there on internal memory
i want to format my phone with all data loss on my internal memory and install stock or other CWM based ROM
please help me out i am in big critical condition.
What files/folders are those exactly that won't get deleted?
have you tried to format from android?
And depend of which folders, there are some special folders that the system will recreate after delete..

there 5 to 6 folders
name like
12345
and some indian people name and songs in it.
Okay, well that is really weird. Is that on internal storage or on the external SD card? Try formating both to be sure, preferrably in the phone itself.
