I 'm now using 2 gb of memory. When i turn off my screen for a moment and trun on the screen. There is nothing comming up. I have to reset my hermes. Pls advise..what 's wrong ? Before i used 1 gb of memory, i never seen this problem.One thing i use calendar plus on the today screen.
After selling my Wizard to get the Hermes, I have discovered that the Hermes is a VERY unstable device.
I have experienced (and still do sometimes) what you are experiencing. From what I can see, this is normal for this device. If this continues, I'll have to sell this and get something else. The other day my device did this and I called it from my house phone to see if it would even ring, and it did not. I guess I could live with the PDA locking up, but if it interferes with the devices primary function as a phone, it's totally unacceptable.
jcute, i was having this problem for a bit, but my issue only occured when it was on the charger and i temporarily shut off the screen, it would then not turn on and would have to softreset every time
i noticed this problem occuring after installing some software including weather software (cant recall exactly which) and skype, not sure which one was the main problem but wasnt using either hence their uninstall and correcting of the problem
good luck, try removing some recently installd software and seeing if the problem persists and perhaps try removing the microsd card and running ur phone without it for a bit to see if the problem is the card
time for rom upgrade ?
thanks for info. I tried to unplug micro sd 2 gb and press power button again ..it 's work !!after that i plugin micro sd again but some icon 's missing at the today screen. Ex. resco today icon , psshutdown, photo contact.....So the question is that i have to do this everytime when screen 's off???
After upgrading to AKU 3.3 and installing my programs only to the main memory, I've noticed far fewer lockups as opposed to before when I ran many programs such as Pocket Player or GPRS monitor from my 2gb sandisk.
I guess the moral of the story is, try not to install programs that access your memory card while your phone is in sleep mode.

I would not get a Hermes if I wanted it to be a phone primarily. IMHO most of these devices XDAs, are primarily PDAs with a phone tacked on.
Just a humble observation
Mike
my problem is when i scroll or drag the side bar too fast (inside memory card),the device will hang and need to soft reset.
can anybody solve this problem??
Goto www.softwinter.com and try out storage tools. I've found that a regular repair and defrag help the load times from the storage card tremendously. Also, someone mentioned above that reformating your storage card with fat32 helps and I too can confirm that. Let us know if that helps or not.
Lance
one more thing, when i reset my hermes, it hangs at the welcome screen. I always get this problem.
hi
can't format the MicroDrive with the FORMAT MICRODRIVE TOOL

Did you tried the "Recover microdrive" option? (there are two possibilities - format or recover microdrive). Anyway, this seems to be a quite common problem, unfortunately...
thank you very match
it is working..

Help for FAT Corruption on MicroDrive
I experienced same Prob's in the past and was struggeling to get this fixed.
Switch off Device by pressing On/Off Button for several seconds.
when Off, take out the battery for about 30 seconds or so, then re-insert the Battery, switch on Ameo/Athena again by pressing On/Off for some seconds. After that, Microdrive should reappear....
next steps....
First: I recovered my lost data with Ac[email protected] by connecting my T-Mobile Ameo (DE) via WM5Storage and USB Connection to my WinXP-based Laptop. In most cases the Directory names are lost, but the DataFiles were recovered perfectly in shape.
Second: after having recovered the Contend of my MDrive, I reformated the Microdrive via WinXP Explorer right-click menu 'Format'. Choose FAT32 as Format, do NOT use quick format, as it will not really hit all sectors with reformat.
Third: After Soft-Reset on the Ameo/Athena go to all Applications and set configuration to NOT storing anything on MicroDrive. Use SD-Card or Device Mem instead.
Forth: Switch off Device by pressing On/Off Button for several seconds.
when Off, take out the battery for about 30 seconds or so, then re-insert the Battery, switch on Ameo/Athena again by pressing On/Off for some seconds.
Well, you are now done.
You may now reconfigure any Application to use Microdrive for Storage, but do it Step by Step. Until Now, I can not tell,if any and/or which Application had impact in the past. I reactivate step by step, 1 App per week, to check...
...Until now, my MicroDrive is perfectly in a healthy state...
AND Very important !!! It looks like the Build-in Microdrive Format Tool does not work correctly. Low level checks after formating with this tool did show problems with the FAT-Tables. some tools show FAT12 (which can not address 8GB fully), some show FAT16 (Can address 8GB, but is not supported from most OS), some show FAT32 (which is best choise for that size)
SO, my conclusion is to NOT use MicoDrive Format Tool at all....
Till now, it's paying off for me....
Update from years later......
some additional infos: To prevent ocassional corruption look a likes(see below), disable any auto startup routines from Navigation Software(e.g. TomTom, Navigon) to be found on SD-Card or elsewhere and mainly located in Dir called 2577. Those may interfere with the initialisation of the MD and then, Directory of the MD shows some very strange File and directory names.
If you prevent the autostarts, after switching the device totally off(holding Power button some seconds) and switch on again, this will recover to the original Data, Names und Files on the MD.
I found this, due to the fact, that after this corruption look a like, the Memory Page of Taskmanager still showed the original number of used space on the MD. so I started to do some try and error.....
Well, taking both steps, Format and disable Autorun, I haven't had a corruption sign since now more than one year....

UweWeber,
This is a good post. Thanks for your good effort.
This [email protected] thingy. Is it a software that runs on the PC side? Where can I get this software?
Keep up the good work, mate.
Great "step by step".
So am I getting it right that for people who don't yet have a problem with their Ameo MD, to prevent problems they should reformat at FAT32 in XP? ie start the step by step from step 2.
Great!
What Wm5 storage version are you using (1.73, 1.75,...) ?
Currupted MD - No Way
i'm using V1.73.
I would not recommend to format perfect working MDrive. Think that it's formated correctly in Factory.
Mine has worked fine in the beginning, until..., I have reformated it, because that looked faster to me than deleting 12000 files by hand from it. That was the point, where trouble started....

Uweweber,
Great post. This is the one part of the X7501 (WM6) I felt was the greatest let down.
Btw, I found V1.8 at http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/wm5torage.shtml.
I was hoping to make clear to all (and to me) your instruction to " go to all Applications and set configuration to NOT storing anything on MicroDrive."
1) Did you mean go to 'Settings', 'System', 'Storage Manager' then select the Mirdodrive (Dsk1) then properties then unmount?
2) Do you now always use WM5Storage and USB to load or remove items from the Microdrive?
3) Have you ever not been able to open 'Storage Manager' - damn thing won't open now - even after a warm reset
Thanks for the tips - here''s hoping!
X7501 -- MicroDrive corruption
Fixerboy,
never told to to do anything like...unmounting MDrive...Ok. it's an Application, yes, ok - Addition to the post (UweWeber) please do not tell WM5Storage to not use Microdrive....
BTW: after Weeks of testing, no Application was the source of corruption, it was just the wrong formated MDrive...since it was formated in FAT32, no more probs...
Just updated now to WM 6 , no probs ....
Hi
Your post (I don't know why don't read earlier?) may solve my problem.
I lost many times my data on MD, but I tryed format with internal tool. More than half year I only use MD for nothing because really problematic, but me a need a storege for music, pictures, videos.
I try again use MD with your format tutorial.
So I thank your post
Since yesterday, for no apparent reason, my TyTN stopped reading memory cards. I expect a hardware problem, since for a moment it worked then stopped again.
When I insert a card, the device powers up BUT doesn't see the storage card (in apps and control panel)
Tried:
-Cleaning (blowing)
-Reinserting it in every possible way, moving it around and pushing it deeper, slower, everything!
-Formatting the card (to FAT, FAT32 and all the stuff)
Anyone knows what is wrong?
many people who had the same issue had success with softreset
I did over a dozen soft resets since the problem happened, it didn't work
From time to time it will detect the card insertion/removal (device turns on), but no matter what it won't see the card.
Alright, I'm calling Rogers to get it repaired. If I can manage to get a refund, is there another phone for 200$ with similar or superior performances?
Hi everyone,
I am hoping to save you all headaches and the pain of hardware resets. I finally figured this out and wanted to share it with you as I know how much time we all spend customizing our HD2's and how long it takes after a hardware reset.
The problem:
HTC Sense will not load. Hardware reset required. This happened to be 7-8 times before I realised what caused it.
You either shutdown or reset your phone and HTC Sense fails to load. ALso get certificate errors, and most apps/programs file to load
What was causing it:
There could be many causes. For me it was the following. Each time:
I connect my phone to my PC in 'Disk Drive' mode. All works fine. Once I disconnect the phone from the pc, or when I rest. I get the problem mentioned above. Nothing I can do, simply have to hardware reset.
Why it happens:
If you have apps/tweaks/programs or anything else for that matter installed on the SD card. When you connect the phone to your pc in 'Disk Drive' mode, it locks the SD card exclusively by the pc. Therefore WM and Sense cannot access the SD card. If you go to your phone and use file explorer, you will see that the SD card is not visible/available.
Somehow this damages the registry/apps/programs causing the problems outlined above.
This happened to me several times. Each time I had installed apps and though it was that particular app. The last time I did nothing. Just transferred some movies and the problem happened. Thats when I did another test. Again, same problem.
I have always connect my phone in ActiveSync mode now, never had this problem again.
BEWARE - DO NOT connect your phone in 'Disk Drive' mode to your PC.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
I also had this problem, but I never used diskdrive mode
This is the truth about disk drive mode, not the above!!

All you have to do to avoid these issues is use a little common sense ....
Disk drive mode is a lot faster than Active Sync so for , syncing large files, or a lot of music Disk drive mode does it in half the time ...
Now some of the points you made are true, if you connect in disk drive mode, your phone does not have access to the SD for the duration of your connection ...
Now here is where the common sense comes in .... Follow along ....
1.) Connect your phone via disk drive mode, lay it down, and DON'T TOUCH IT TILL YOUR DONE, and are going to unplug it ...
That is about it ....
If you want to be really really safe(read paranoid), you can switch to airplane mode for the duration ..
I use my phone about 85% of the time in disk drive mode and have had none of the "problems" above ...
So again treat it like you are supposed to , treat it like a removable drive, you don't try to run programs or make calls on your thumb drive, or you external hard drive do you(this does not mean run programs from , wanted to add this to eliminate the obvious)?
Now with all that said, Disk Drive mode is much faster if you use it like you are supposed.
p.s. And it is just safe to unplug your phone from the USB if you need to reset it, saves power spikes, driver load time, and just a bunch of headaches, like the fact it is a usb drive that you just UN-safely removed from your PC because you reset it and that caused it to hard disconnect.
One more thing, it is not a good thing to make statements like you have made to be, FACT, to the community, if you work for HTC or a hardware manufacturer and are pointing out a defect then that is good, but your points are not really FACT , they are your experience.

totally agree with that! the disk drive mode is EXTREMELY valuable. my kaiser didn't have it, and so i carried around a microsd card reader in my pocket along with the phone.
with the hd2, i don't have to carry the card reader anymore (though the card reader is even faster).
in my use, i have never been forced to do a hard reset as an outcome of daily use of the phone and its advertised features. this includes almost daily use of the disk drive mode.
during this time, sense has remained stable...with CHT installed...to DEVICE memory of course. which leads me to my final point. install all your programs to device memory, especially services and background applications or start up applications. keep your active wallpapers and ring tones and message tones and theme related stuff on device memory. games and documents and media and the like can go on the storage card. heck i even install games to my device memory because i can...the HD2 has 2-3 times more device memory than the windows mobile devices of the past 3 years!
perhaps the more appropriate warning for everyone is:
AVOID INSTALLING PROGRAMS TO THE STORAGE CARD IF YOU INTEND ON USING THE DISK DRIVE MODE. IF YOU MUST INSTALL TO THE STORAGE CARD, THEN AVOID UNNECESSARY USE OF THE DEVICE WHILE IT IS IN DISK DRIVE MODE.
Seems like a lot of sensationalism in the OP, but the point is valid. Installing apps/tweaks/etc to the SD card and then attempting to use elements which access those resources while they're not available is bound to create issues.
Simply install those applications/tweaks to the internal memory. I've done this, use disk mode 95% of the time and have not had any issues with Sense crapping itself.

Alright time to settle this once and for all. I literally JUST did what you expressly warned us all not to do and I can say for a FACT that the Mass Storage/Disk Drive works absolutely fine.
Steps to avoid your problem -
1. After connecting to Mass Storage mode, lay the phone down and LEAVE IT ALONE. Like watcher said earlier, you don't pick up your portable hard drive and play with it while it's connected to your PC so why would you do this to your phone when it's acting as a portable hard drive?
2. Don't run apps installed to SD card while the phone is connected in Mass Storage mode. When in Mass Storage mode, your device CANNOT access the SD card. Your phone is acting as an SD card reader. Therefore if you try to run an app that is installed to the SD card while connected in this method, you will get an error. No brainer.
3. You know that neat little system tray in the bottom right hand corner of your Windows computer? Down there is a "Safely remove hardware" button. Get used to using this button. It's the only way to remove the hardware from without risking damage to the data on the card. If you just unplug the phone from the PC, you're not giving either the phone or the PC any warning about what you're about to do. If you use the "Safely remove hardware" feature on your PC, it stops the drivers on a software level, making it safe to unplug the device without the risk of damage to the files. NO BRAINER.
4. Follow my advice - It'll save you future headaches while continuing to use the Mass Storage mode on your phone.
Cheers -
Dan
Title of the thread changed:
From
DO NOT Use Disk Drive mode - MUST READ
To
Using Disk Drive Mode - Avoiding potential issues.
I fear that the original title of the thread could be misleading to some and so it was changed to something more "informative" as opposed to what it was, a warning.
c'mon, man. just like others said, it's just sensationalism and if you used common sense you wouldn't post this thread. have you tried copying big files via active sync? apparently not.

sorry. i was speaking to the OP
question about the disk drive mode and double twist. Anytime I try to use disk drive mode, double twist tries to run. So I have been using active sync only.
Question 1: Do I need double twist?
Question 2: If I let it run, what is gonna happen?
Used disk drive mode on my tp2 all the time (well, when transfering certain converted movies....) and had no problems.

just delete the autorun.inf off your sd card ...
It is just a media sync app that sucks IMHO ...
Good to see all the feedback.
I can tell you for a FACT that I tested this again.
I connected it to the pc, did nothing. Disconnected the phone, all ok.
I did a soft reset after a few mins. Same thing. Sense crapped itself.
I have BSB Tweaks, CHT, and various other UI tweaks installed on phone memory. I have various apps on the SD card.
Anyways, another question.
The size displayed for the phone memory under windows when the phone is connected. Is this the total space left on internal memory, or only space left to install apps?
Reason I am asking is that if I install everything on the internal mem, won't it kill performance and cause other issues?
Thanks.

Of course I have copie dlarge files. Why else would I buy a phone with SD storage available.
I have a 16GB SD card and copy movies to it all the time. I use Windows explorer, takes a little longer, but regardless of any other opinions, I will not be using Disk Drive mode ever again. I have been burnt too many times.
I've always used disk drive mode, pulled the phone out without doing safely remove, taken phone calls, run apps which are installed on the phone not the SD and never had a problem.
Perhaps you've got a duff phone that's a little bit sensitive, or a duff app which is causing it?

thanks. I wasn't sure if the autorun.inf was for that or something else. I need to transfer over some psx games to the storage card and I don't like taking the back off the phone more than necessary.
Sick and tired of this.
50% of time it's acting normally, other 50% it turns itself off and on continously, basically giving me a limited time span to copy files onto the SD card.
Also, another question - is it possible to turn off the automatic widget/program rearrange thing ? When you're on the homescreen or on programs listing screen, and when you hold your finger a bit longer, the phone automatically opens a "mode" which lets you rearrange your icons/widgets/etc, is there a possibility to turn that off ? Getting tired of sometimes holding my finger on the phone for a brief second more to have that rearrangement crap activated.
The problem is not your phone, but the cable or the computer.. Try to unistall your drivers and then reinstall or use another cable..
About disable screen widget option, i don't if it's possible, but try to use another launcher.. i recommend launcherpro..
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
tried with a different cable, didn't work, same **** as always ( the moment PC recognizes the phone and pops autoplay message for the SD card to browse it or w/e, phone freezes, then restarts, then works for like 20 seconds after first reboot, then shuts down entirely and starts rebooting slower and slower after each reboot, and when I take the cable out, the phone suddenly starts acting normal )
will try on a different PC, doubt it it's going to make a difference
|edit|
yep, same **** on different PC - so far 3 PCs and 2 different cables causing this problem, so yeah, I think it's safe to say that it's a problem with my mobile phone, or the SD card at least, cause when the Autoplay option pops up on my PC screen, the phone blocks
aye, it's the SD card, just tested with another one and I have no problems whatsoever
so.. does anyone have the original content of the Sony Ericsson shipped SD card that I could use to restore my SD card to it's original state ?
I can post mines..

i experinenced the same problem when i root the phone.then connected via usb to pc companion and repaired and reinstall the phone os.
i had the problem after updating to official 2.1. found out that it didnt occur when i pressed "charge phone" on the display after plugging in and activating the usb drive afterwards.
maybe you'll find different drivers in this board, i installed something at some time and its gone now

Try this, it worked for me: (I wanted to give the link to SE forum where they talked about this, but I'm not allowed, not enough posts, they say)
This seems to be quite a common problem in X's, there has been some bug in notification tone in the device in regard to the PC companion, some sort of confrontation which makes the phone to reboot all the time. So, I went to the settings, "sound and display", "notification ringtone", change to "thinkerbell"
Also, uncheck the "SD card notification"!
My phone does not reboot now, hope it will stay that way!
cheers, doesn't reboot anymore !
