hi everyone, i have T-mobile MDA USA, and i have noticed that everytime i try to copy large files (50Mb and up) from my PC to my SD in my phone through active sync cable it is taking forever...it is really pissing me off, when i use my card reader to transfer files it is a lot faster...does any one know what could be the problem? i thought the MDA has USB 2.0 isn't it supposed to be fast!!??
please help.
thanks
It's simply a bug with these phones which badly manage ActivSync ... The only solution is to use an external card reader as you do
:wink:
hello guys & gals, i bought a sandisk 1gb minisd for my wizard this morning, however whenever i put the card in the phone doesnt seem to read it.. any ideas on what one is ment to do? thanks in advanced!
Hi - you did not say which wizard or which rom. Occ they are a bit fussy with the minisd card but if you put it in and out a few times that may do it, check contacts are clean and no fluff in the slot! Check the disk on the pc to see if it will read it and all is well. Some people have had success formatting disk on pc to fat32. If all else fails its a dud and go and get a new one
bought a new 512mb Kingston Mini sd card . I cannot seem to transfer anything to it. Both my PC and the Wizard `see' the card and register the correct size but I cannot transfer anything to it. Any help appreciated. I read somewhere you need to format a new card on the wizard ??? how do I do this
:roll:
you can use StorageTools
Hi Pat thanks for the reply.
What is the executable file you suggest ? is it for using on my PC or the wizard? whats the method ?cheers
its the desktop instalation of storage tools.

download link - http://www.softwinter.com/download.html
Its just pat hotlinked the exe file
yes, sorry. My post could have been a bit more explicit. By the way, what do you mean when you say you can't transfer anything to your card?
Is it just using ActiveSync or did you try your card on your PC with a card reader? If you do have a card reader then you don't really need storagetools . Just format it on your PC and it should be allright.
Another solution is to get WM5Storage (see this post) It will turn your Wizard into a USB drive so that you can copy files without the hassle of activesync or play music files on the card from the desktop, and since it will be seen as a usb drive...format it!
The guy who came up with WM5storage is a genius, I had been looking for this kinf of software ever since I had my fisrt smartphone years ago
Good luck
Hi Pat thanks thats brilliant.
I use a USB reader for the card but it is placed into a SD holder first because my 7:1 PC reader doesn't accept mini SD .
I can see the card and it registers the correct size 512Mb It seems to be accepting drag n drop in explorer and I can see the burn led writing to the card.
When I put it in the wizard it registers the card and offers to find the files so far so good. It then sees the files and transfers them to `libray'?but they don't show up in either the wizard's explorer or win media ?
well that was an interesting 15 minutes :shock:
Clicked on the link Danny gave and got a lockup followed by a BSOD from which the only escape was pull the power lead and reboot. I would advise anyone to treat with caution.
Hello again peanut!
You mean that just by clicking on a the link you got a BSOD? Amazing!
Back to your SD Card, have you tried 3rd party file explorer such as gsfinder (my favorite) or resco explorer to see if they access your card properly? And also try TCMP instead of WMP. For one, it's much better anyway and I've read somewhere (here I guess) that some people had trouble getting WMP to "see" their media files on the SD. Anyway, I guess it would be a good idea to reformat you card in either FAT32 or FAT16 with 512 bytes cluster so as to waste the minimum amount of storage
It may be related to a prolem I have periodically with firefox not loading . Ithink zone alarm is involved as well so I may need to re-install the lot
thanks for the suggestion about TCMP and yes I'll try a fresh format see what happens cheers
The link in my post was found by right clicking Pat12's link and looking at the URL.
All the links are from the same website and i seriously doubt anything is wrong with any of them, check your firewall as it can interupt file transfers and cause things to hang.
My mini sd card and my friends weren't working for banana's. untill i formatted them on the pc unsing a card reader. now they work fine.
never found out why the cards weren't correctly formatted to start with, guess i'm not bothered as they work great. they were also kingstons
thanks for your input RJ webb I'll try a re-format.
Danny your link is fine it was probably my zone alrm plus the drive had gone to sleep lol no blame mate just thanks for your help
Is it a branded card, where did you get it from?
I bought a 2gb unbranded one and it sometimes doesn't show up in the device, and sometimes corrupts the data on the card - so I assume its faulty/dodgy.
I've ordered a sandisk one to replace it with, hope that one works better.
Hi Scotland its a Kingston card I bought off ebay. Probably a crap card knowing my luck. I'll try re-formatting it on another computer maybe that will help.

I hate to ask the obvious, but is it locked with the little switch?
ha ha not so obvious actually because it was at first before I noticed it had a lock the other day. Thanks for the suggestion
Hi i hope somoene could please help me here:
Normaly I can view all things that are on the micro SD card in the FILE Explorer on the phone or on the pc, like Notes, Music, Folders....
Today i got a big problem:
I couldnt view any Things on the micor SD card anymore. Just two emty folders are left . I tried it on the Phone and also on the PC. The surprising thing is that, the storage card shows that it is over the half full, like it was always with the things on it?
I have attached some screenshots for a better understanding of the problem:
Can someone please help me?
THanks Elzard
Hi all,
Are there any hd2 leo android builds which support usb host/usb flash memory? I've tried Froyostone and mdeejay froyohd without luck (using a Y-cable, flash usb stick and external power).
I think with android being on the SD card having a 2nd external memory would be really useful (I keep changing movies and music on the card and it's a real pain to take the microsd card out and reboot...). I think someone developed a driver for the nexus one but it never really got beyond that.
Cheers,
M
maybe possible but it need external power source (useless for sometime)
Some devs have work for the Desire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742

Might I suggest a larger microsd card? Or SMB share to your videos on your pc? Or just stream the movies from the internet?
