Problem downloading from PC to storage card

Hi All,
Newbie here so please be nice :wink:
I have only had my XDA Mini for a few weeks now and have just tried to copy files from the PC straight to the storage card via Activesync. I open Activesync and click on 'File' then 'Explore'. The explorer window opens but I get this message...
"Critical communications services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."
I have reset the mini and rebooted my PC many times but it has made no difference. What does it mean and how do I fix this problem?

I believe this is an issue with the built in XP firewall... Install another firewall, disable the built-in one and try again.

Hi,
I have the problem as well from time to time. As an alternative I found out, that you can place files in \My document\<Device name>_Syncronised Files (or similar, sorry I use the german version). If you acitivate ActiveSync feature of syncing files, these files will be transfered to the device. You cannot access the memory card this way but at least you can transfer files even if the 'Explore' funtion is not working.
regards
marco

Thanks Guys.
Marco, I have been downloading via My Documents without any problems. The problem here is that I am limited to the memory on my device. I need to download straight to the Storage Card as the files are larger then the internal memory.
Sunoke, ill try the Firewall thing and see how I go.

Certificate-issues when attempting to install on QTEK 9100

I've recieved a QTEK9100 (HTC Wizard) from my employer. The ROM-version is 2.18.7.4 NOR.
This unit seems to be application locked in some way.
Among other things, I have tried to install two different sharewhare GPS-programs on this unit (PTGMAP and OZIExplorer). When installing or running the .exe files i get error messages like:
- "Cannot open the file PTGMAP. It either lacks a signed certificate or cannot find one of the components" (my translation).
- ".. can not be installed because it does not have a digitally signed certificate" (also my translation)
- or simply "cannot be installed"
I've searched this forum and quite a few others, but I have not been able to find a solution. I've found some .cab files, but these have been for other units that the QTEK 9100/HTC Wizard. I was even able to install this one, but it seems to have made no difference:
ftp://[email protected]/Universal/Extended_ROMs/Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.CAB
(I do realise this is for another unit)
I've also tried SignCode - It's says that the executable is certified, but I still get the same error message when I try to run the programe.
Finally, because my ROM has been configured (by an external supplier) with Pylon Anywhere for syncronization, I guess I can't install another ROM, as I will lose this software which I need.
Can anyone help me here? --- Please!?! ---

Try this reg tweak
Disable the security warning when installing non-certified application
To disable the security warning when installing a non-certfied application, set:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To restore the warnings:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Registry editor
but... I've tried to install the registry wizard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725&highlight=registrywizard
But I get the same error-message "cannot install RegistryWizard_PPC_ARMV4.cab"..
Any ideas?

Copy this exe to your device via activesync and click on file through file explorer. It is a registry editor and go to those keys i described.

Still doesn't work
I've tried this in every possible way now:
- I've copied the file to my "mobile unit" in windows explorer with ActiveSync running.
- I've put the file in the file-sync and synced.
- I've copied the file to my storage-card using a card-reader.
... Everytime I try to run the file, I still get the message "Cannot open regedit_463. It is either not signed with a signed certificate and so on..."
I am considering a ROm-update, but if I install a new ROM, I'll lose all the syncronization software from my employer, right?
Any futher help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try the above file in main memory - take your storage card out and soft reset. Then click on the file again - sometimes it is a corrupt storage card that causes that error. Otherwise its some software thats caused this security error and you will need to hard reset or update rom. Yes you would have to reinstall all your software.

I have the same problem too,need help!! anyone knows how to fix this?thanks for any help.

Have you tried disabling file conversion?
Go to Activesync on PC then click Tools -> Advanced Tools -> Edit File Conversion Settings and uncleck the tick box.
If you are trying to copy files from the memory card then the best way is to put the device in Disk Drive mode. Connect device then click Start->Settings->Connection tab->USBtoPC->Disk Drive

I encountered this the other day, I think you can only copy files from the SD card to PC on the phone using active sync.
If however, if you want to copy files from your phone's internal memory, to your PC, i used a differnt program to do this, think it was either called 'My Mobiler' or 'Jeyo Mobile something' so try those programs!
I find ActiveSync to be an extremely poor program, I recommend using 3rd party apps to get full control over your phone!

I tried to use 3rd party application such as my mobiler, still encounter the same problem,any other ways?what the main problem that make this happen?help anyone?

Problems with my brand new Leo

Hi there,
I just received my phone from Orange, the french operator.
Rom version is 1.43 something. I ve just been messing around a little with the phone and have encountered a few problems. I d like to know of you guys have the same issues:
- Synchronizing with hotmail: My hotmail password was 17 letters long (and had special characters) and I wasn t able to sync my Leo. I changed the password to 8 letters (and no special characters) and was able to sync
- Copying large video files to SD: When I use the Explore function of my active sync and copy large files (300mb) to my sdcard, it takes forever. The bar advances progressively, then starts back from 0, and so on. After 5 minutes, it seems to finish the copy. When I launch the file, it s corrupt.
The originial file works. The funniest thing is that if I copy the file back from the SDcard to the laptop, the file won t launch anymore
- Copying files with the "transfer function": Ok this works real fast. I can copy large files from my laptop to my SDcard in seconds. When I unplug the Leo, and use the explorer to find the files... well they just aren t there.
If anyone is having the same issues, please help me out.
Thx,
Ben

About the files you can't see. First you have to disconnect the cable or change the USB to PC mode to ActivSync (something). Then you will be able to see your files in the file explorer.
And after a restart, you are still unable to see your files on the storage card, install Resco Explorer and browse your Storage Card with that. It happened to me onece.
And about copying files in ActiveSync mode: It's natural. ActiveSync ain't for copying big files. It's just for syncing your device with your PC. So, it's the same for everyone.

Dunno about hotmail issue as I don't use it.
But, had file copy issues using WMDC in my Vista pc.
I have started using Disk mode nd no problems.
Try formatting your memory card in device if u have issues still.

I ve tried that, but it still doesn t work. I ll format my SD when I get home and try a few other things...
BTW, is there a simple way to backup my original Orange rom before I flash and HTC rom on the Leo?
Thx,
Ben

Issues with the SD card are cleared. The SD card is simply dead. I put another one in and everything works ok
