Hey All,
I know you can store files etc on the PocketPC and its storage cards through activesync, but every time you copy from/to it goes through the active sync tranfser window etc. Also, you cant just double click a file on the pocket pc, if you do it just brings up the files properties (you have to copy it locally to open it).
Is there a way to make the pocket pc act like a storage device, such as a usb hard disk or pen drive, where you dont need activesync, you can just double click files to open them etc.
Cheers,
Jez.
yes
but it demand that the pda support usb host
non of the xda series support it
some of the toshiba pda's and the acer pda i just got the other day
support it
there are some CF cards which have usb host options
but it would require the xda to haev the backpack to use CF cards
and not sure if it would be compatible

It confirms that WM5 has the USB Mass Storage driver built in, means without any additional software, we can use the storage card in WM5 device just like a USB pen drive/external HDD. This is very useful to connect the device in PCs without ActiveSync installed.
Does anybody know how to make the Universal to be recognized as a USB Mass Storage in Windows OS?
The DLL usbmsfn.dll is missing from the Exec's ROM - without that you'll not have much joy me thinks.
Hopefully much faster to
With no wifi support in activesync this may be much faster.
I find it a real pain transfering video files to my mda pro over activesync so slow
Can it be ripped from the device emulator or someone else's WM5 ROM?
RE
Does the Universal requires hardware-ready for USB hosting besides the necessary drivers?
No, pls don't be confused with USB host capability.
This is not related to that. The USB Mass Storage function is basically the capability to emulate the Universal so that when its plugged to a USB port of a PC, the PC will recognize the Universal as if its an external harddrive/USB pen drive/card reader.
If you use an external harddrive/USB pen drive/card reader to transport files you should be familiar with this. The benefit is that you do not need any driver for the drive to be recognize by Windows OS (starting W2k).
I myself, everytime I want to copy big size files like MP3 or movie to my Universal, I will take out the SD Card and insert it to the card reader then copy the files as its slightly faster to do so rather than using the ActiveSync.
The idea is that, with the USB Mass Storage driver that is built into the WM5, we do not need to take out the SD Card and use a card reader anymore. Just plug in the Universal and the PC can access the storage card directly with full speed.
Though this is definetely WM5 feature, but not really sure if this is implemented in Universal specifically. If anybody knows, please share.

Hate to burst bubbles, but the originally referenced article is taking about Windows CE5, not Windows Mobile5. While WM5 is built out of WCE5, it does not support everything that the underlying OS does or can. WCE5 is a base OS that a number of products are based on including WM devices like SmartPhones and PPC, and automotive electronics and even vending machines. At this point I know of no native mass storage capability in a WM5 device. Not to say it can't happen, as Softick provided the capability for WM2003 devices. It's just not that way out of the box.
A laconic mail exchange with Softick told me that they are actually working on their cardexport product for full WM5 compatibility. No release date, no progress for now. Maybe if somebody want's to ask more?

Use an SD card reader, or try transferring over a wifi network using a network shared folder using resco explorer.
Brilliant, trust me!

Tested Working on Universal.
WOW. This is good news!
after installing it, the device hangs. I unplugged it and reset it manually. And it works. Really cool! I noticed the speed is not as fast compared to a card reader. Anyway, I'm happy that now I do not need to carry around additional thing, SD card reader, just to transport files.

Sweet Software....
I install it (2.10), it keeps staying at the display when it is loading the bar and then it says that it cannot load it self...
Afterwards it uninstalls automatically...
I have Qtek ROM...
I've installed it and it works great on my Qtek 9000 (Universal). I only turn on de mass storage when i really need it, but then it works great to tranfer files from and tot every PC (no ActiveSync install needed).
I am trying to install V2.10 on my Universal and get the following:
On installation an error:
"ActivateDeviceEx" and "Cannot Load Drivers\BuiltIn\CE2. Code 2"
The install then says "Cannot Start Card Export" and "Card Export Installation Failed" and uninstalls itself.
Did a registry search and cant find any reference to that in the regisrty.
Anyone with any ideas or if they have that in their reg can they post the details!
Cheers!

That's the same message I get!!! I have the same problem in My Qtek too...
Hi,
perhaps a stupid question:
I have an USB DVB-T-Stick (Type A) which I am using with my laptop. Is there a way to use this DVB-T-Stick also with my HTC Kaiser , so that I can see TV on my mobile ?
What about the TV program ?
What about a converter from TypeA to TypeMini ?
Regards
kuzco1
Please dont create new threads for questions. Ask them in the sticky.
Dave
Short answer: NO
Technical answer: Kaiser doesn't support "USB Host" (there are other reasons beyond that, but this removes the possibility)
And to complete Dave's post: At least post this in the Kaiser forum, with the others.
Hi,
i searched but didnt find anything about it.
Does anyone know about a prog to use PDA as G15?
My Idea is a small area as G15 Display and a big area for the programmable keys.
If there isnt any, could someone develop it so xp/vista acknowledge it as G15 keyboard when activated?
like wm5torage makes your ppc to an external storage.
EDIT: @guap: not a graphics display driver ... just the dotmatrix from g15 keyboard... so it would be a keyboarddriver, this should be easier than a mass storage driver i guess.
i dont have a G15 and the idea was a supplement to make my keyboard + ppc to a G15
sorry but... lol
it's really different create a mass storage driver form a display one, I don't think is possible
Hey Guys i have a little Question.
First of all, sry for my bad english.
I want to ask if it could be possible to use a external tv-tuner (USB-Device) with an Android Device ? I mean if the Device (Mobile Phone) with Android having supported USB Host Mode could it work with a external TV-Tuner (like for example DVB-T etc.) ?
If the Driver for the "TV-Tuner" are possible in Linux could we compile them into the Android and could we write a little "User interface" where we could switch for example the Channels or moving the Volume ??
If it would give a "User Interface" which would be possible in Linux too than we could use them on the Phone ?
I would like to hear what others are thinking about these and if these could be possible ?
Thanks.

the only thing i can possibly add to this topic is i believe one of the archos devices has a dvr tuner docking station but i'm not 100% sure if its the win7 one or one of the android tablets, you will have to look.
