Connecting to laptop crashes running apps - Touch HD General

I have found a serious issue with my HD today. Whenever I connect to my laptop using the usb cable any applications I am running on the HD at the time will crash. So far I have had crashes with Microsoft Reader, Pocket Informant and even the built in file explorer. Microsoft Reader then won't restart until I soft reset the device.
Is anyone else having problems or have I just got a duff unit?
Cheers,
David

well that is normal i think coz the device get overloaded it is better to wait until it is fully sync then u cn use what ever appl u want

This is normal!
This is a normal behavior when you use "Festplatte" as profile sorry i have the german version guess the translation would be Harddisk, the phone looses acces to the Storage Card. For that reason each app. running on the storage card would crash. It is like pulling out the Hard Disk from your PC
The explorer hangs because he cann´t see the Storage Card anymore..
Hope this helps

This is normal. When your PC starts treating the storage card as a USB memory stick, it is necessary to close all applications that comes out of it. If I'm not mistaken, applications that you have installed on your device is still okay, right?

Can i use my Wizard as a memory stick?

Is there any way to use my phone as a "memory stick" without having to install sw drivers on a foreign PC.
I just want to plug-in the Wizard (with usb), have the PC to recognize extra RAM (mini SD) and be able to download files - just like a standard memory stick without installing drivers or active sync.
regards
Ulrik
Yes Tou can.
Install Card Export Pro.
Just keep in mind to switch from active sync to Card Export Pro if your device is not connected to your pc.
Any freeware out there, too??
Greetings,
Andreas
I don't have my Wizard yet (hopefully tomorrow). However, with my XDA 1, I just popped the SD card out & put it into a USB memory card reader like this one - http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-MS-Pro-...590924641QQcategoryZ50526QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Works great, and less than $10.00 U.S.
Hope that helps,

Where do I get Card Export Pro? I can't find it on any English websites :S
Try this http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
I could get it to switch to 'usb mass storage device' only after soft reseting my wizard, then it would refuse to switch modes and i would have to reboot again.
Maybe one to keep an eye on as they seem to be working hard to get it to function correctly with the wizard. I will keep testing and keep you posted. As this s/w adds a great feature.
Has anyone got it working properly?

I downloaded the software and it works fine on my QTEK9100 - i'm still in the 21 days trial period. I'll do some more testing with loadind/unloading files. So far the turning on/off card works fine. I did a software reset as stated....

Card Export II & wm5torage problems

Has any one managed to use software like wm5torage or card export II with trinity? I tried both but they do not work for my device.
Doed any one know a way for them to work or another solution to use the storage card as a flash drive that works for HTC trinity?
I've the same problem and no solution. I can switch on my htc 3600 between card and active sync, but the card function doesn't work (card exportII ppc). No device under winxp????
I had same problem. Goto Start>settings>usb to PC and uncheck Enable advanced network functionality and that should fix the problem
Thanks, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything for me... still no removal drive appearing in Win XP after unchecking that option (tested again after soft reset, same result).
I rather using a usb 2.0 card reader, but when I tried WM5torage and Card Export, I remember both of them worked a couple of times, but for most of the times I tried to use them I got the same problem as you, I think Card Export didn't work or even complain, WM5torage returned some error message.
Another strange thing, when they did work, I had to use the device, i.e. press the start menu, open an application, for the transfer rate to become acceptable! really weird, if I just plug in the device and let it alone it was slow as hell to browse or do anything else.
So I decided to use one of these:
I have a USB mini SD card reader, unfortunately it doesn't seem to like 4go mini SD...
So I'm waiting to receive another reader that looks like yours... just hope it will read my cards (or are they capped to 2go?).
Anyway, I have at least one computer where I card read my card, so not a real problem... just wanted to be able to use it at work for example, and without ActiveSync that seems to corrupt the card...
Card Export II
Card Export II works well on my unit although after a reset it may take a little time till the Icon shows up. Also if you don't see your Mini-SD card in Windows just disconnect the USB cable, do a quick change from Card Export to Active Sync and back to Card Export then Windows will show you the MiniSd files.
Well after trying again and again, I've given up on using that kind of program...
Hopefully I've received the same usb card reader as Apoc and it work like a charm with my mini sd 4go

Maybe it's not working because your using a MiniSD 4GB (if that's what you wrote)...what brand/model are you using? is it working well??
For me WISBAR LITE was the problem!!!
I had to disable wisbar. Start wm5torage. activate it. restart wisbar.
now I can use (activate/stopp/restart) wm5torage without a problem.
(haven't done a reset yet)
I have always had problems with WM5torage telling me that something is still running on the card so can’t start. I check everything in processes and nothing appears to be pointing to the card, so without uninstalling one-by-one to find the conflicting culprit, I give up.
However Card Export II works great! Never had a problem with it connecting as a removable drive except with USB 1.1. I find if I connect to a PC with USB 1.1 it disables the USB altogether until a restart.
I’m using a 2Gb card, so either you are having problems with your 4Gb, or can I presume you are not using USB 2?
Also what have you formatted your 4Gb to? Fat32? What did you use to format with? You can get software like this especially to format SDHC.
I can put folders from my trinity on the pc but not from the PC en the trinity.
A hint:
I just bought A S300+ and tried WM5torage, I had a classic "maybe card is in use" problem. I already had patched rom and radio rom. So I tried to remove all protections with an official tool I know: Device Security Manager PowerToy for Windows Mobile 5.0 on microsoft website
Guess what ? it worked like a charm
Usage is very easy select "Security off" in selected configuration Compare with actual active sync device and then click 'provision'
Just disable the phone ...
See next thread. Cannot delete this one ...
Just disable radio ...
Just make sure you disabled the radio. I have some programs installed on the card (PB Weather) which are always active when the radio is on. If I disable the radio WMStorage works fine.
But you have to uncheck the extended option in the USB settings anyway.
Good luck

I used / tried both of this programs
last version of card export works great but not the previous one
WM5torage was working on different version of ROM
In the last I use, FAMAN 3.6, WM5torage is working fine.
in previous, 3.3 3.4 3.5, it wasn't. I had to do it with Card Export.
the driver used for handling memory card inside WM6 is the center of the problem
Card Export use its own driver, instead of WM5torage.
That's what I understood in some forums ...
So do some test on different version of ROM
good luck
PS : I use 4Gb Mini SDHC and I never install anything in the card to avoid any "actually in use" problems
I tried the last BETA version on WM5storage on FAMAN4.01 french WM6 rom and work like a charm
I just forgot to end my post ...
I also use WM5torage 1.78 beta 2 on FAMAN 3.6, and it is working very fine
I didn't try it on FAMAN 4.01 because I didn't keep this ROM version more than 1 hour.
The big advantage of WM5torage is it's freeware

Softick Card Export...Mass storage app

Surprise that you have not been able to get it working. What problem did you encounter?

Hi.
No matter how many times I tried to switch from A/S to Storage card or MicroDrive, it would break the A/S connection (great I thought - now comes the mass storage feature...wrong!) and then revert straight back to A/S ready for use.
I tried several different ways of activating Card export, like before plugging into USB, whilst plugged in or after plugging in. All to no avail I'm afraid.
Hi mackaby007
Have you tested Card Export in the newest version 3.0.3?
from this side: http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile Compatibility list:
....
Model Processor type Test result Notes
...
X7500 Advantage Intel PXA27x Works fine Version 3.02 or later is required
X7501 Advantage Intel PXA27x Works fine Version 3.02 or later is required
on my Advantage runs without any problems, but only after version 3.0.2
I hope this helps ...
and sorry for my poor English
Is this the kinda of thing similar to WM5torage???
Not sure how that would behave on the Athena but worth a shot?
On mine, it works without any problem so far. Mine is a Dopod U1000 with the official wm6 rom.
Any computer can see my dopod as a storage devise now although activesyn has not been installed on those pc. It connects and disconnects withou soft reset. I can also instantly switch between the two modes. No requirement to switch off today plugins or do safe mode reset.
I'm puzzled why it does not work the same way for some of you.

SD card corruption-Any official solution nowadays?

Hi,
I've read some posts regarding this issue but I was unable to find if there's already a definite solution to the memory card corruption on P3600.
Can anyone update me about that, please?
I have a 2 GB A-Data Super 80X mini SD that worked fine for 2 years since I bought this HTC. 2 months ago I sent it to warranty for exchange of the peeling covers and they also updated the WM5 ROM. After that I took some photos and used the card on the PC to save a few Tom-Tom updates and 2 weeks later Tom-Tom complained that it couldn’t find any voices. When I opened File Explorer there it was, the funny characters replaced a few folders. Before that I was using the first Portuguese official ROM that activated the GPS.
Tips and tricks I've already found around here:
To workaround the problem you can set the device to turn itself off after 1 minute in the power options, then let the device turn itself off instead of pressing the power button.
Install WM6 - Is this confirmed to solve the problem?
Memory performance tweaks-File system cache is too big, there could be some problems with your storage card, so decrease your file system cache - Is this confirmed to solve the problem forever?
As long as I copy files to/from the card using an external card reader (and not via active sync), I have no problems. - It is slower but if this works I can live with it.
Soft-reset - This didn't work for me.
​
Thats the one thing i hate about my trinity. I haven't got a card reader, so everything gets sent via activesync. Unfortunately anything above 15mb just crashes the card and i have to soft reset and hopefully delete the files on there.
The only solution i have found that (sometimes) works is transfering over wi-fi.
I have got a corruption problem as well. I installed a game that failed but after soft resetting i was left with files i couldn't delete, but i dont want to format yet as tomtom and other larger files can be tedious transfering over wifi.
I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of this without formatting, and why activesync crashes at 15mb
After installing a WM6.5 ROM and formating the card this problem never appeared again. The 2gb mini SD card is working as it should work without any extra tweaks or drivers.
But now I have a spare micro SDHC of 4gb and will buy a mini sd adapter to upgrade my 2gb card on trinity. I'll post my experience with the 4gb card after testing it exaustively.
For people that are having issues with the SD card on WM5, maybe its a good idea to try some alternate drivers like these:

Problems with MTP and USB access

hi, this has been bugging me for quite some time now eversince i've got my xplay. it seems that there are times that i'm unable to access my storage properly via MTP or storage device. it charges the phone and i can see the device on my device manager but nothing comes up in accessing the contents. my only solution is either by luck, with plugging and unplugging the unit or uninstalling the driver so it could detect it again but sometimes recquires me to restart my pc. my last resort is to unmount the sd card and go through a usb adaptor.
Got the same problem
No idea what causes it.
Also got random replugs where the pc thinks it's newly connected, rather annoying when watching a movie on the pc.
can anyone provide a probable cause for this or any solutions perhaps?
After it got really bad (rebooting phone not working and all several times) I uninstalled com.sonyericson.usbux
You can't acces your SD card anymore but atleast you can charge and push-pull things over adb.
my phone still has the stock kernel and i haven't rooted it yet. though there are still times that i can't access my mem card.
MTP wont work at all for me so I cant update firmware
MTP is far more picky and problematic than a logical drive. I run into data transfer issues with the Iconia A500 due to this, but zero problems with my gTablet that sees the internal space as a logical drive.
Wait a sec- The microsd is seen by the Sony firmware as MTP? That seems odd, since I am not aware of other OEMs that map microsd that way.
