Hi,
I seem to remember finding a tweak or a program on here to change the default storage location for all of my Outlook emails synchronised via ActiveSync, that is for the messages and the attachments to be stored on the SD card.
I have had to hard reset my device due to an "issue".
It is running standard UK Orange ROM.
I have spent that last 2 hours searching and failed to find anything to help.
Can anyone suggest how this is done PLEASE!!!
Missing having my emails to refer to when out & about!
Many thanks,
Paul

Hey guys, I need some help please.
I just got back from vacation and took a billion pictures with my Tmobile MDA and stored them all on my 1gb storage card. For some reason, I can't get these onto my computer. I've tried adding the folder to the files sync list with active sync, but I cannot choose any folder on my mobile device, let alone the storage card.
I also tried just exploring my device, which seemed like it was going to work. Once I got to the picture files in the storage card, I selected them all and copied them to the PC. It went through the motions of copying, progress bars, etc, but when it is finished, no pics on the pc! i dont even get it!
If anyone could offer up some help I'd really appreciate it, thanks.
Since i did my rom i can not sync pictures from pc to PPC and back, so i think it is something to do with the rom update
If you don't have a card reader to try, install WM5torage to use your PPC as a reader itself (make sure you disable it when your done or the phone won't be able to use the card).
ok, so in my attempt to format my SD card at 4 am because of corrupted data, i accidently went to CLEAR STORAGE under SYSTEM and i guess i just formatted my device =\
now i have 2 problems. how do i format my memory card and is there a way i can restore my contacts at all? Activesync help says go to BACKUP/RESTORE but i dont have that under TOOLS for some reason. i think i have a backup of all my files in my ACTIVESYNC dir and DOCS AND SETTINGS.
i really messed up this time. someone please help.
thanks in advance.

I you have previously synced your contacts with Outlook through ActiveSync all you have to do is to Restore your contacts is to connect your device to your computer and the contacts are autmatically sent to your device. If you also want to sync all other files from your active sync folder on the PC back to your device you could to this: After you sync for the first time, ActiveSync will probably make a new ActiveSync-folder, using the new name of the device. Go to the old AS-folder and copy all files. Paste those in the New AS-folder a sync again.
i resyned and it kept the same ACtivesync name, but none of my information came back! im screwed!!!!
how do i format my miniSD card? it is corrupted and File Explorer wont let me delete the info and my laptop wont detect the card with the SD adapter.
Help!
I am running into a very strange situation and I am wondering if anyone has an answer to this:
After I had to hard reset my s200: I am restoring my backed up files using SpriteBackup. I have done this many, many times before with the s200 as well as my x51v and I have never had a problem at all.
Now all over sudden after I am done restoring my files (I have tried 10 different files, since I am backing up every night) I am getting this error message:
"The file "application" can not be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to re-installl or restore this file."
So, essentially I am not able to open any of my applications (all are stored on my SD card). Is there anything I can do in order to avoid having to re-install these? Furthermore, I have a lot of settings, which I can not simply duplicate anymore (like MMS, GPRS (internet via Tzones), etc. etc.) and I really would like to avoid having to do so.
If anyone has a remedy to this problem, I would very much appreciate any help!
Sorry about the long text and tehanks in advance
Hi,It does the same things on my spv m600:copy all the files from your sd card to your computer.Format sd card an put the same name before hard reset ( my sd card : sorry in french :carte de stockage,and after reset name was changed : storage card ).If you've not the same name softs don't work.Maybe you must change the name directly after format in the phone registry.
Marc from France.
Thank you Marcdu81! I have tried this already but without any luck.
Thanks for your advise!
Have you format your sd card with you pda or your computer ? You must format with your pda.I try to find a solution for you.

I formatted the the SD card with my PC. Let me try to format it using the PPC directly.
Another very strange thing is that I tried to re-install some applications but I am not able to even do that anymore. I am doing another hard reset and try to re-install some applications... let see.
OK.I use spb backup and i never have problem to use my softs.
Hi,
I recently installed an app that made my phone go into SAFE MODE -- So I uninstalled the app and realized messaging was gone. So I did the Clear Storage function and started from sctratch.
Oh -- I am using the Dopod ROM with GPS
Now once I started steeing my phone back up again, I noticed my "Memory Card was Locked" message when I directed the email attachments to be stored there. ALSO when I look at the Storage card memory in the SYSTEM/DEVICE INFORMATION screen -- it shows that my old stuff is still on there. But File explorer cannot read them.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Thanks in Advance!

When you do a "clear storage" it resets your device, but it doesn't erase your external storage card. The best policy is to take out your storage card, save the important files on your PC, then reformat it. Do your "clear storage" hard reset without the card in the device. This way you are sure that you are starting fresh without any old problems hanging around. You can then copy back to your card any important files, but not old messages...this is asking for trouble.
Thanks Matterhorn. I wound up purchasing a card reader and reformating the card. It took a while but I got everything up and running.
Hi there,
I just upgrade my hd2 to Android (Mdeejay_eVo_sense), may i know how to use PIM Backup to restore all of my contacts, SMS, etc since i already switch to android? I haven't seen much information on PIM for Android so I was wondering if anyone else had other suggestions? Anyone have any experiences with them? The PIMbackup file is still in my SD card. How to retrieve and put in the Android?
I cant seem to connect to my laptop after install Android? Any idea?
Appreciate your help. Thanks a bunch!
What file type is you Pim backup? You can load some contact files straight into gmail using your browser, as for pc connection you need to activate it in android

sync with gmail account then when you're on android, it will load all your contacts and agenda
Funambol is good for contacts. Haven't used it in a minute tho. Not sure of any new features. There is a winmo version and and android one, making the tranfer fairly painless
Try this: it's the method to convert pim backup files (pib) into some files android can read BUT you have to replace Step 4 with the following:
4. Put the csv file on the root of your SD Card.
5. When on Android (AOSP/Cyanogenmod builds) Home screen, press the phone icon, then go to the contacts tab, press the windows key (acting as the menu key), then select import contacts, import from sd card, and wait until it finds the csv file, then select it and wait (better plug your phone to the charger, it can take up to 10 minutes depending on how many small files you have on your SD card), et voila.
Done
p.s: it looks a lot like this, but it takes you 3 to 4 minutes to be to step 5.
f.
edit: you don't need to sync with Gmail if, just like me, you don't want Google to have a copy of all your contacts.
Thanks guys for the tips! Truly appreciate it!
I'm now using forelli's method, i followed the step till the 5th step. However, when i press "Import from SD Card", it shows that "Scanning Sd card failed (Reason" No vCard file found on the SD card)?? But i already inserted csv in SD card. any idea??
