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.

Can't Copy Files From 9100 To PC

Hello all!
Many days now i have a problem which i can't solve after all my tries.
I own a Qtek 9100 with the WWE 1.6.7.1 Rom and the ActiveSync v4.1.0 (Build 4841). The problem is that i can't cut or copy files from the ppc to pc.
Neither the files are in main memory nor in the storage card. When i choose to copy the progress bar is shown and the little blue cubes go till end but then no file/s in the pc.
Vice versa-from pc to ppc-there isn't any problem.
Please enlight me!
TIA

Have you tried to disable the software firewall (if you have one) before connecting the ppc to the pc?
That helped me.
Foxtrot

I don't have a firewall. Don't even the Windows' one.

Anyone that can help?

I am experiencing this same problem on my desktop. However, I can copy fine to my laptop.
I am still trying to find out what exactly is causing it. Uninstalling & reinstalling ActiveSync did not help. However, I have found that it is copying the files from my Wizard to a temp folder on the PC. It is just not moving it from the temp folder to the true destination. If it helps at all, the temp folder is "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\<username>\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMP\_PEGEX~1" (replace "<username>" with your Windows login username). For now, I try to copy a file & let ActiveSync put it into that folder, then I go to that folder and move it to where I want it.

Thanx for the reply shdwphnx but there isn't any folder with the name _PEGEX~1. I searched in TEMP for anything similar folder but no luck.
I uninstalled/reinstall activesync, did a firmware upgrade to ppc but still nothing.

I've found a solution for this problem in this site. Here it is:
If you are having problems with partial synchronizations or missing notes, try re-registering the OLE32.dll. This is done by clicking on "Start" and then select "Run". Then in the box for the Run Command and type: Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\Ole32.dll

Download the latest version of Activesync v 4.5 and run on winxp.secondly check your usb cable connectivity of the phone with your pc.

Acessing Folders in 'MY WINDOWS DEVICE'

Hi im new to this forum, but it comes highly recommended.
Im having trouble accessing my files on the smartphone through my PC. I had the phone previously before i gt a new one and by going to the my mobile device folder in my computer i could access all the files on the phone when it was connected. Though now on the same phone bt everytime i try to access these files the window itself just closes. I am able to do everything else on the phone but to put mp3 I have to use windows media player and place it on the storage card.
I have tried everyhing from reseting the phone to its original status and upgrading the rom. Please can some one help me as I like to use this way to transfer films and videos to the phone and check other folders. Or if anyone knows of another way to transfer movie files and mp3s to the phone.

It does not seem like there is something wrong with your phone but with your desktop! Try to delete the partnership in ActiveSync.
If you have the know-how you also might remove the drivers for your mobile device manually on your desktop.
uninstall ActiveSync completely and then reinstall (maybe the latest version???)
At least I would try that first ...

How would I remove the drivers from my mobile device manually on the desktop.
I have already unistalled the active sync and downloaded the latest version but i'll try it again.
Thankyou

What phone do you have, what version of ActiveSync do you use, and how do you connect to your PC (USB or BT)?

I have an O2 xda mini, I connect via usb and I have version 4.5 of active sync.

Did you delete the partnership yet? After deleting the partnership, can you connect as a guest and then access your phone via Windows explorer?

I just deleted the partnership and tried going through windows explorer. Once I click on mobile device and go into the folder. The same thing happens as when there is a partnership. I click to go into a folder (any folder) and the windows explorer crashes and the error report comes up asking me to debug or send error report. This is a constant thing no matter what i try

Do you have access to another computer? If so, try using that one. If you don't have any problems, then the problem lies in your computer. I recommend getting a registry cleaner to scan and repair any registry errors.

Can't transfer some mp3s from HD2 to PC

Hi!
Just got my TMOUS HD2. I copied some mp3s that i bought at emusic.com to the storage card and listened to them. Worked without problems. But I cannot transfer back some of them using Windows Mobile! One folder seems to be empty, in the other the mp2s are still displayed, but nothing happens when I attempt to copy them.
On the phone, the mp3s are present, I still can listen to them, but I can't move or copy them to another place with Total Commander.
What happened here? Is this a known problem? Couldn't find any help here or with google...
Thanks,
Hannes

Hi, How are you copying the files? Using remote file explorer? And whats the language of your phone?
- Herojit

Hi!
My Phone language is english (unfortunately for me, scnr). I start Windows Mobile and then browse the storage card from there. Is that the remote file explorer? (Sorry, my Win7 is in German)
Hannes

Hi, Are you trying to copy from Storage card to device storage and vice versa?
- Herojit

Yes, I tried to copy from storage card to device. With File Explorer, it does just nothing, with Total Commander, it says "Cannot acces file". When I try to transfer the files to the PC, it does nothing.
Also, i noticed that there is a file named ~hTC******.vin in all the folders that I cannot access. Maybe there is connection?

Hi, I think the file is Drm protected? Any chance for that? Can you check if there is a lock icon displayed on top of the file icon.
- Herojit

Hi Herojit!
No, the files isn't DRM protected (it was from emusic.com, they are all DRM free). It has the ordinary windows media icon.
Yours,
Hannes

Hi Hannes, now I don't see any problem, can you restart the device and copy again, I feel the file is still access by one of the player.
- Herojit

Hi Herojit!
Did that, no change at all. Another weird thing: my computer doesn't display any mp3s at all in the one folder that is having troubles, while I still can play them on the HD2. Another directory shows all the files, but cannot transfer them anywhere. This sucks!
Nobody ever experienced that? :-(
Hannes

From what I understand you're trying to copy those files while connected in "activesync mode".
If that's the case, you want to enable the "disk unit" mode.
If that is NOT the case, then Im clueless

Hi!
I had no transfer mode set up, just ignored that screen all the time. Anyhow, I figured out a practical solution: Windows Media Player was able to fetch all the MP3 from the Phone, even the ones that Explorer couldn't display. So I am quite happy now, but I'd still like to know what is going on with my phone...

The fastest way to do this is to copy everything you need directly from your memory card through card reader.
If you have bluetooth on your PC and have just few photos, you can send them through bluetooth (in any file explorer you use on your HD you should have option like "Send to bluetooth recipient") but this method is very slow...
And of course it is possible to do file transfer through USB cable (via ActiveSync or some other program, but I can't give exact advice, because I use just first two methods )

Third method (via USB) is to enable Data transfer instead Active Sync... Your uSD card will be visible as external disc, and on it you'll see famous DCIM folder which contains pictures...

it so easy
it s0 easy,
first; you have to install windows mobile center to your pc and than conect your phone to pc
