Can internal microdrive be disabled/turned off? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General

Hello,
since I've been looking for measures to save up power I wonder, if the internal microdrive can be disabled or turned off via a registry setting or something. I prefer to use a mini sd-card, so the drive won't be used much.
Does anyone have any info on that? I haven't found anything on the forum so far.
Thanks in advance
Will

As far as I know it powers down when not in use.

Hmm, I can't find any entry in the registry, maybe it's really automatic...very well. Thanks, techntrek!

Can I Disable Auto-Rotate and Auto-Play of SD Cards?

Afternoon all,
Does anyone know if the auto screen resize/rotate function can be disabled on the Universal? It sends my GameBoy emulator wonky every time
Also whenever the SD card slot is used, the SD Card autoplays. This is quite a pain with TomTom on the card as it takes a good 40-50 seconds to fully load and exit TomTom. Can this autoplay be disabled?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Graham
you can disable the autoplay by renaming or removing the "2577" folder on the SD card.
Thanks for the info. Works a treat, even by just renaming.
Does anyone know if disableing the screen auto-rotate is possible?
Yeah, anyone with the screen rotate solution?
What's the screen rotate problem? I think I have a solution to it... but just fill me in first.

I'm guessing that they don't want the screen to rotate when they move it from laptop mode to PDA mode and vice-versa. Can be a problem with GAPI games and emulators when you need to move the screen out of PDA mode to get at the keyboard. In reality what they probably need is an app to lock the screen in PDA mode since this is what most games are expecting.
Yeah, I made one of those apps once, to prevent screen rotation.
It has some side effects, eg screen doesn't switch off when you close the lid, unless you expressly press power button (since the system doesn't know the lid is being moved around anymore). So I didn't release it.
Could you live with that handicap? Hopefully the app could be toggled, so it wouldn't be an issue.
V
I wouldn't mind giving it a go, I've been bitten by the screen autorotate a few times myself and needed to soft reset to get control back again.
Hi Vijay555,
Which is the name os that application? I have been looking for it in your site but I was not able to find it :-(
Thanks.
Vijay
Hi Vijay,
I'd love to try this app out. Sounds like exactly what I need.
I'd be very grateful if you could provide a link to it for me.
Thanks
Graham
As I said, I've never released it because I didn't think anyone needed it, it was just some research I was doing on another issue.
However, give me a few days to see if I can pack it into an app.
V
Thank You
Thanks very much.
Really appreciate it
Wooooow!!
I am eager to test it.
Thanks a lot!

hurray!! is it ready yet? my god I'm crying a very tiny tear because I'm hoping you'll release it and fix my problem...
I have no problem whatsoever pressing power button to turn off screen as I do it automatically to save power...
Yubastard: fortunately I re-wrote it, now it has no side effects, just disables the autorotation.
It's now called VJUzumaki, but it's unreleased. The code was written for someone else, and they have to decide what to do with it. PM me this weekend tho and I'll see if I can send you a beta.

How do I identify storage memory contents?

I'm getting the 'storage memory is critically low' message. I've tried to clear some out but I have no idea what apps or data are using it. Is there some way to tell? I've searched the forum but most of the responses I've found are pretty basic and don't really help. I have SK Tools but that hasn't helped either. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Try this, Start|Settings|System|Memory| on the Main tab you can see how much memory is being used, also click on Find large files this will find any large files that could be using up your memory.
Now I'm not suggesting you purchase memmaid but see this site of theirs as it gives clues to what's taking up space in storage mem.

Memory card - can´t find = ?

Hi,
My Hermes cannot anymore find the memory card: "Not installed".
How can I fix this?
The problem started when I interrupted a syncronisation to Win Media Player 11.
I have tried to soft reset the Hermes both without and with the memory card but whitout results.
?
Because the time in Sweden is almost two in the morning I will go to bed now but will check any responses as soon as I can.
/Danne
Have a read of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294324. There are various fixes for this problem.
Ok, but how?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply and with a solution! I am not shure I have the exactly same problem, the Hermes doesn´t even find a directory folder for the memory card, but I want to try the solution proposed in the thread you sent.
But I don´t know WHERE I should do the hack and how, just write the below?
Is it here somewhere? "Settings / System-flap / ?
THE SOLUTION
"After working at the issue for a while, here is the end results:
Do the following reg. hack (numbers are in DECIMAL!
hex equiv. is 0x2004):
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
"PNPUnloadDelay" = dword:8196
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
"PNPWaitIODelay" = dword:8196"
/Danne
You need to download a registry editor (eg: PHM RegEdit) to make these changes. Search the forum... cabs have been posted many times... or google it!
Hope this helps!
OK
I will try that, but not today, it seems as that may take a while to fix.
Thanks, both of you!
/Danne
actually, once you get the registry editor, it takes only a couple of minutes...
Hmm... my experice is that that nothing EVER take only a couple of minutes when it comes to computers
Is it the memory card that needs to be fixed or, is it the memory card specifically in connection with my TyTN (Hermes) only? I´m thinking about selling it and need to know if the buyer needs to fix this first.
I already ordered a larger Kingston memory - I noticed that people in the other thread seemd to think they were more stable, but I don´t know who to trust. I have gotten a lot of help from this forum and it is great (!), when I learn more I hope to give some back. But I know companies pays people to sit all day and recommend products in forums like these .

the dummy executable?

I'm having a registry problem currently, and i am wondering if somebody can write me an .exe file that does nothing.
Quite simply, i just need it start up then kill itself. Preferably low mem, but then again, with what it does, low mem is virtually assured, no?
I forget where I found this... I didn't write it, but it is exactly what you're looking for.
thank you. unfortunately, i've already solved my problem, but i'll keep this for the future.
