Hy everybody,
I'm new to this forum so please be a bit patient.
I have an HTC Touch Cruise phone and a Ubuntu Machine. What I want to do is copy files on to my Cruise from the Ubuntu Machine. I've heard of WMStorage (even tried it and it didn't work). I've seen though that the Diamond has a nice feature that asks to chose between active sync and mass storage device when connecting to a PC. Is there an alternative to that for the Cruise?
try Softick CardExport , works only for the tf card tho ...
We had exactly that question before...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415361
Edit
...oops. I missed the ubuntu-part. The threat I mentioned is for Windows only.
Sorry!
I got Card Export and it works like a dream. Too bad I'll have to buy it, but as long as there's no alternative that's it.
so what raphael is apear what possible to port some program for USB stick feature

Here goes 2nd posting.
Have active sync 4.1 connected to windows 2000 pro @ work. No problems. But I am on windows '98 @ home. Now I appreciate that the active sync 4.1 does not work with '98 but is there any solution that will enable me to tranfer files to my MDA vario when I am @ home short of upgrading to 2000/xp etc
Thanks
Robert
Try wm5storage a small program that turns the card on your device in to a usb mass storage device (like usb memory stick)
Find it attached - can be a little fiddly to set up - make sure activesync is closed on your device and make sure no other programs are accessing your storage card. - including some today screen plugins.
Install program into main memory and do a soft reset before trying it.
Its free sourced from modaco and i think there is a newer version kicking around somewhere.
Thanks meschle will give it a go. It would appear that there is life in Dudley past 1am? :lol:
lol yup sleepless nights - happy easter too
Windows 98? People still use that?

old habits.. hard to die...
No, it's just I have access to XP and Win 2000 pro PC's @ work where I spend most of my time. I'm there every Week End and most days and as I predominantly back up DVD's @ my shop/office, check my business emails, I don't spend anytime downloading @ home. Therefore I don't have much need for a high spec machine @ home when they are freely available to use in my office.
One of the few and I mean few, perks of owning your own business, is that I answer to myself only. I wish I could answer why I work such long hours though.......
Hello friends. I am waiting to buy the HD Blackstone here in Greece. I am a Mac user Mac OSX 10.5.5 (Leopard) and as i have read in the net no one has a working 100% way of synchronizing. Does anyone used a way to sync the HD successfully yet? Thank's a lot

This is working fine with my HD as it has done with all my Windows Mobiles..
I can confirm it works great with missing sync under OS X
You can aswell install cab files from it.
You mean with Missing Sync for Windows Mobile? But in the supported devices there is only HTC touch. Did you try sync mate?

it works with all the windows mobile 6. it is just a standard program that run on your mac.
It will require to install a cab file on your phone.
I've tried it with HTC touch Diamond, Treo 750 & Kaiser.
Haven't tried with the touch HD as I don't have it.
Very tempted to buy it but still love my iphone 3G.
cab file? Thank you!

yup, once you connect to the software, it will push a cab file to be installed.
It is straight forward.
Thank you again mate!
sync htc with mac os x
can anybody suggest a free sync for htc mobiles with mac os x?
Thanks inadvance
Use SyncMate (Freeware) or
SyncMate Expert.
Much better than missing sync !!!
Your pocketpc connects on internet via usb or wifi as simple as activesync connection...
I agree, SyncMate is probably the best way to go.
I have only tried the free version and it takes like 3 hours to sync a couple GB worth of music so it might be worth it to pay the $10 USD for it.
Missing Sync has a couple nice features but costs $40 USD. I tried out missing sync and it messed up all of my system settings such as ringtones and notification settings, etc. It is nice though because there is an option to convert any .m4a files to a type that is readable by your phone where SyncMate doesn't have that option.
I have also tried DoubleTwist which is supposed to be nice and it is free. It completely messed up my phone though and I ended up having to format both my phone and SD card to correct it.
try syncmate
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?

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???
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.

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

Hello there,
I have seen for other HTC type handsets ( Raphael for instance )
when you connect the phone up to the usb port it will come up with the option of connecting via active sync, internet sharing or use device as mass storage drive.
Has anyone produced any software for HP614c that allows you to do this?
and if not is it possible?
as this was the only real advantage from the Touch Pro/Raphael that i could see over my HP614c running keyx rom
I am going to get rid of my Raphael and go back to my beloved HP614c full time . But i will miss this feature as it is useful for work etc
Search for WM5torage
many thanks...
have noticed its acually embedded in the latest ROM anyway
excellent
