Hello,
I have a MDA Wizard and have been trying to change the default location of the files transferred to the storage card with no success. I changed the BaseDir value in the registry, but it does not work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
yea me too, im looking for a solution. changed BaseDir and even change the My Documents path to Storage Card. Nothing so far. anyone know?
New location for files received by bluetooth
I came accross this program in this forum somewhere. Really good. Give it a try.
Just run the cab file and soft reset. After that, run the program whenever you want to switch bluetooth on and it puts a bluetooth icon on the system tray. double click icon and go to settings and set the dir where you want to receive the file and you're ready to go.
I've tried getting a really big file too just to see if this merely moves the file to the other location after receiving or actually changes the location of incoming files and found out it changes the location.
Let me know if this works for you.

and Version 1.5 Coming Soon
Partial Success...
This is an old thread but I think is directly related to what I'm trying to do. I've seen many other threads trying to solve the same problem, so I won't create a new one. Anyway, first, here is the info:
AT&T 8525
HERM: 100
ROM: 3.62.502.3 (Offical AT&T)
Results:
Successfully transfered 2 test files from my laptop (XP SP2 Tosiba Bluetooth 4.00.22D) directly to my storage card:
AdbeRdr80_en_US.exe - 21,822,168 bytes
Tears of a Dragon.mp4 - 8,572,344 bytes
How:
Added a STRING value BaseDir to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\{000...} set to: "/Storage Card/"
Problem / Temporary Solution:
Using Resco I can see the file in the Storage Card as soon as the beam is over, however the OBEX prompts you if you want to save the file or not. If you click NO the file gets deleted. If you click YES, the file gets moved after two seconds to \My Documents or some files just go nowhere(?). So before I actually answer the prompt, I just copy the file elsewhere on my card and then click NO on the prompt.
Analysis / Conclusions (so far):
1. The official AT&T ROM does not have OBEX FTP service installed (obexfile.dll). It only has the OBEX Default Inbox service (obexinbx.dll).
2. The obexinbx.dll is not behaving as expected. Ex: Why "/Storage Card/" vs. "\Storage card\"; Adding the DWORD value DisableUI does not eliminate the prompts as it should; If I delete the TransportAuntheticate value in the same key, it just reappears, yet the dll is not supposed to use that value as per MSDN2.
Could somebody try to duplicate my results and/or see if there is a way to disable the prompts? Thanks in advance!
Has anyone tried this? Please?
Here are some screenshots to better explain what is happening:
1. Add BaseDir value to the OBEX key.
2. Send test file from my laptop.
3. PPC displays 1st UI prompt (recfileprompt.jpg)
4. Laptop displays progress indicator for file transfer. (progress.jpg)
5. When transfer is complete, PPC display 2nd UI prompt. (uiprompt.jpg)
6. I can confirm the test file did transfer to the SD card (fileinssdcard.jpg)
7. If I click on YES the file disappears (but some files get moved to \My Documents). If I Click NO the file disappears.
So... Is there a way to get rid of these prompts? Or to make them not move or delete the file once is in the SD Card?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, the contents of my HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\ are the folders Services and Transport. There is no {0000-0000...} folder there. It exists though in the folder Services, so for my device, it is HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\SERVICES\{0000...}. After adding the key, the temporary storage for the received file is ideed SD Card so I can grab it before responding to the prompt.
Nevertheless, either if I respond YES or NO for the file save prompt, the file is deleted from SD Card and does not reappear anywhere on the device, so it does not get moved, but deleted.
Notes:
For me it does not matter weather I write "/Storage Card/" or "\Storage Card\", it still receives to Storage Card, but regardless of what I choose, YES or NO, it deletes the file.

Exactly. This is the best I could get it to work, by just copying or moving the file to another SD Card location (or renaming it) before responding to the prompt. Anyway, this is kind of an old post. I had orginally done this since Dr. Yar crashed on my phone. Since then, I discovered HTC Bluetooth FTP Explorer 1.2, which adds an FTP tab to your Bluetooth Connections settings, where you can specify the default location for incoming bluetooth files.
Thanks for trying it out though!
PS,
I was trying to upload HTC Bluetooth cab, but there is a problem with the database. Anyway, I got it from VP3G's AddOn pack in the Hermes forum. A quick search should find it for you.

I don't know whether you are referring to this (which is inside my rom), but look at my settings. Even with these, Bluetooth still receives to Device and saves to Device\My Documents.

Yes. That's it. It works fine for me. Is your SD Card name "Storage Card"? I would also try using the browse button and selecting different folders inside the SD Card.

Just tried. Same thing!
Well. That is strange. I don't have a Trinity. I have a Hermes. What I would do at this point, is first, try installing the BT FTP cab over your existing one (backup first!). If that doesn't work, try removing/re-inserting the SD Card and also if possible another SD Card. Could there be a write access-protect restriction on your card that forces the OS to use the default My Documents location?
Anyway I have to go back now to my other life , but if I think of something else I'll let you know. Sorry you have problems
OBEX vs FTP
That bluetooth setting is only for FTP transfers. OBEX is the "native" transfer protocol that phones et al. use. Changing the setting for FTP received files doesn't alter the OBEX ones!
I'm going to try Dr Yar, but would love to find a registry setting for this!
I've just found this one as a cure, about to try it..

Would you mind saving us a few days of trial and error and tell us what registry changes you made? It sure sounds like an interesting hack...
"After literally an hour's ceaseless searching", I have discovered the "hidden art of turning base things into gold". :wink:
V
here u go... just finished writing the directions...
hope it helps...
Great idea and work. Do you think it will have an effect with Tomtom Navigator 5 since map files are installed in the root folder of the SD card and not in a sub-folder (i.e. My Documents)?
this tweak allows u to use external storage as local storage. it depends on whether u set ur "storage card" or "storage" to program files folder it will be the default installation path...
now all my programs r in the program files folder A.K.A. "Storage" even for those programs that needed to be installed in the main memory like SBP, anti virus etc...
i dun have to worry about my main memory anymore cos this has free up sufficient space for it...
Thanks man. I'm scheduled to do a hard reset on my unit and make a fresh install since my unit has been acting a bit strange lately.
there are 25 downloads on my doc but not a single comment...
This will work very well for "Storage=Program Files" but I think the OS will make a new "My Documents" as soon as you pull out your Storage Card ... (especially if there is an app trying to use that folder)
But I'm using it for the Program Files method.... I think its pretty clever
amazingly it did not change... even if u change another sd card it will still remain as my documents...
i've tested on "my documents" when i took out my sd card, "my documents" folder simply disappears. when i save a note etc, there will be a temp "my documents" folder appear. but this folder can be deleted at anytime before reinserting ur sd card and the original "my documents" folder reappears resuming its place... it'll be fine to change sd cards as all sd cards will be recognize as "my documents"
Test Crash
Yesterday i did some test crash on the system to find out the vunerabilities of it anyway, here's the results...
1) can't survive default factory settings (power + reset) obviously... :roll:
2) forgotten all abt "Windows Media Player" folder and "Connections" folder residing at the original "Program Files" folder by default so before u delete the original "Program Files" folder, make sure that u cut and paste both folders to storage (new "Program Files" folder) i've uploaded "Windows Media Player" folders just in case it's too late... as for the "Connections" folder, it appears to be empty. so i gues its ok... :wink:
3) system only fails (storage = My Documents2, new "My Documents" folder on main memory) when caller ID is installed. this can be restored by taking out your SD card, wait till "My Documents2" folder disappeared, delete new "My Documents" folder and reinserting SD card. but u will have to repeat this process everytime u restart ur system, :twisted: unless caller ID has been removed.
4) Installation of Acrosoft MMS cab will have the same problem as above... but it is not permenant like caller ID. just use the method above once and it'll stay that way for good...
that's the only software conflict i have experienced. other than that, my magician kick ass...
:idea: the purpose of this tweak is to let everyone utilize the storage spaces completely, minimizing the usage of the main memory so that it'll have better performance... turning ur BigStorage into "Default Installation Path", ur SD Card into "Default Documents Storage"... nothing goes to waste...
Structure of this system:
System Files: Main Memory
Program Files: Ext-ROM 18.96mb + Storage 7.6mb= BigStorage 26.56mb to 26.72mb
My Documents: SD Memory

thx my friend, i'm going to check it and let you know if it was successful.
thanks sherko...
anyway, i've found out a way to speed up PPC even more after you are done with the file system tweak...
alternaltively you can MemMaid to do this, but there are limitations using MemMaid, that is some programs will not work if you move certain .dll
1) copy the entire AppMgr folder from \Windows\ to the new \Program Files\ dir (ex. \Program Files\AppMgr\)
2) use your preferred registry editor to search for \Windows\AppMgr and change all results to \Program Files\AppMgr\XXXX.dll
Reboot your system...
3) use explorer to delete \Windows\AppMgr and that's it...
you'll find that your system will responds faster than it used to be... thanks to the new file system, your PPC recognizes all your external storage as local storage (as in Main Memory)...
hi all , i have done all and working fine. The only problem i get is when i try and sync my outlook with outlook 2003 and i get error on pocket pc
Error : Could not create the voice link recording directory.
I do not have any software on it yet on bigstorerom, only Resco Explorer
any help would be good
Thanks
Brian
hi Brian
ok... i'm not sure if this is the case, i believe that your prior note option save to storage card / My documents. by now your system recognize your storage card as main memory...
so, go to your note > tools > option
change to Save to Main Memory....
as for your outlook, shouldn't have any problem unless you are synchronizing with your notes and the option setting above may just solve everything...
if it works, that means someone's not paying attention on my notes...
keep me update on the results....
cheers...
ok... now i know your problem...
i never noticed it as i don't really uses the voice recording... i'm getting the error when i tap on new in the notes sections...
let me know if u have the same problem...
now i'm working on it... i'll post it once i've rectify the problems... btw, if you happen to solve it before i do, pls share it with us...
thanks...
hmmm...It doesn't works for me....

The Key in WM6 is:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Mail" datatype="string"
Or wherever on the card you want it stored.
I found this by activating the save attachments to Storage Card option, then searching the registry for the key, once I found that location above, I added the PropertyPath value for the storage card location in the same key.
Reboot and it should be good...but you will probably have the issue maybe with it creating a Storage Card folder upon reboot because many devices the mail starts before the storage card. If that is the case, take your SD card out, rename the Storage Card folder to Storage Card.bak, shut down the device. Put SD card in, reboot, and leave the .bak folder there forever.
At least that is what works on the Wizard to get mail on the SD card. Now I have 2000+ emails and attachments on my storage card, no issues across reboots, working fine.
Good luck any problems, report back..
Does the AttachPath also work here? Think that would be even more useful.

Yes, you can move attachments through the options in the interface to the storage card. That is how I found the new location of the mail on the SD path is by searching the registry after the tweak as I mentioned above.
Looks like it works on the Dash!

actually I had to add also key "AttachPath" with value "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" without quotas.
I did it on HP514 Voice messenger with WM6. The main issue was actually to rename "storage card" on "storage card.bak" and taking card out and reboote. After I started again when I saw new folder "Mail" created on Storage Card I was happy as a kid. I just moved with file explorer all *.att to attachment folder and all *.mpb to Mail folder from \Windows\Messaging. Then I opened Outlook and everything was there as nothing happened. All stored on memory card, damm so goooood. I like you guys,

Hi Guys,
after doing the tweak and rebooting i had a folder named Storage Card and my real card renamed to Store Card2. Guess the system created the path as the card was not available early enough. Caused a lot of error messages..

I'm using Samsung i600 and mobile registry editor. When i try to add the string it says access is denied (error setting value). Really appreciate if someone can give me a step by step guide as I'm not familiar with registry editting. i.e What to put in the value name and value data fields.

Does anyone know how to do this with BBConnect mail files? I really need to move my bb mail files
doing the storagecard.bak thing doesnt work...??
New here (and to WM for that matter - had Symbian).
So ive read all over the place about trying to change the mail to the SD. here is my situation (similar to a few here):
changed the relevant reg keys
on reboot i get the "storage card2" phenomena
tried the .bak but to no avail
so ive seen people say "take messaging out of today screen" and that windows live if installed will also make trouble. Notice i only use the pop3/IMAP default client (and no exchange and such).
questions:
how do i take the messaging out of today?
if i dont use the LIve just have it installed is that an issue (and if so..what do i do
assuming i take out messaging from today - i will need to make some softkey take me there - how is that done for my device
I use an HTC Cavalier (S630)
p.s - i saw someone just solved the issue by doing the following after reboot - take out SD, delete storage card folder, put sd back in and voila...but that is too low tech. can i write some sort of batch file that will dismount the SD, delete that folder and remount? after all i reboot only occasinally
Hi folks,
is there a possibility to have incoming files via BT to be copied to memory card instantly?
Currently files are first being copied to main disk on WM6 (after you agree to receive) and then you can specify where you want it saved in.
Due to lack of space, I would prefer if it is possible to override the current way and have files going to memory card instantly.
Would be happy if there is an solution?
regards
Horst
There is a BT utility called "Dr YAR" something. Sorry I can't recollect the entire name. One of it's features is it allows you to transfer files directly to the storage card. However I must inform you that in all the times I have tried it over various ROMS and devices, I have never had it successfully complete large files. It always goes through to about 50% and then hangs.
I really hope somebody can create a simple app that can cover for this one annoying aspect of WM.
Hi,
thx for the Info. i also do know of a program called "Sniper", which fulfills the job more or less as well.
But what I was wondering, if there aint a way to get files directly to the card.

Horst

Without third party software? I don't think so.
There are 2 ways a file is transfered to your
1. Information Exchange
2. File Transfer
Usually when you transfer a file from a normal non-smart phone, it sends a file using the Information Exchage, OBEX push, i think... This is used by WM mobiles for transferring Outlook files like vCard, etc. So when you recieve files from another Phone to ur WM via OBEX push, you most probably, wont have have control over where u can save the file, atleast by default firmware.
Now in the second case, Say transfering a file from a Laptop, it uses "File Transfer" to send a file. This uses a shared folder on your WM phone, and the file is transfered to your shared folder. This Shared folder is defined in the "Advance..." button of your "File Transfer" service, under the "Services" tab in Bluetooth Settings.So basically select a folder on your card to define where you recieve the files. i have transfered a fairly large file (24Mb , thats more than the free memory i have on my ROM) directly tothe card. kindly note that the files in the folder that you have decided to share will be available/ accessible to the host bt device sending the file, so its a good idea to define a new folder that for the purpose.
Hope this info was helpful
official hermes AT&T WM6 does not have FILE TRANSFER!
Hello,
I'm linking to my other posts in the thread below, since nobody has replied to that one. Anyway, the HERMES offcial AT&T ROM does not have the OBEX file transfer service, only the default Inbox service. In that case I have managed to transfer direct to the SD Card using this service, but I would like to improve the process by removing the UI prompt. Please read the other thread and let me know if you can duplicate my results and/or if there is a way to remove the prompts. Thanks,

Is there anyway (Reg hack) or something to make bluetooth incoming files to be stored directly to storage card?
Could you please try this?
Hello,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=268697
I had posted my results in the link above, but nobody had answered. Assuming you have the default Microsoft Bluetooth Stack, here is what is working, at least partially, for me:
1. Add a new STRING value called BaseDir in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OBEX\{0000...}.
2. Set this value to "/Storage Card/" i.e. BaseDir = "/Storage Card/" or whatever the name of your SD Card. NOTE THE SLASH DIRECTIONS...
3. Soft Reset.
4. Now try transferring a file to you PPC. HOWEVER, when you get the prompt "Do you want to..." IGNORE IT for the moment and go to the SD Card and check if the file is there and copy it to another name or location within the card.
5. Now click NO on the beam file prompt.
Please let me know your results. Thanks,

Are the folders on the SD card ? My suggestions below:
1) If they are, try deleting them from the Windows PC side via an ActiveSync connection or in "Disk drive mode".
2) Try renaming the folders with 'proper characters' and then delete.
3) If in "disk drive mode", try removing them via DOS command. You may want to do a "dir /X" to see the 8.3 short file/folder name and remove them.
Regards.

1) If they are, try deleting them from the Windows PC side via an ActiveSync connection or in "Disk drive mode".
2) Try renaming the folders with 'proper characters' and then delete.
3) If in "disk drive mode", try removing them via DOS command. You may want to do a "dir /X" to see the 8.3 short file/folder name and remove them.
Regards.

No, they aren't on the SD card, they are phone memory. Whenever I try to rename them, I get the same error code, telling me files cannot contain the following..... And as for the last, I don't know anything about DOS, so that would require a level of expertise that I just don't have. I haven't seen any strange behaviour on the phone, and my memory size and usage has not freaked out, nor has my battery life. So what they are or what they are for is beyond me.
The 3 files are names thus:
??????
????Documents
oc????
Very odd.

Jerry,
My suggestions are only if the files reside on the SD card.
I believe the ? means the available fonts, on your phone, does not have the correct character set to display it properly.
Base on my belief above, try the following:
a) My apology being a new member, I am not allowed to post clickable link. Go to this link : add a http:// in front first
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5869460
b) Download and install the "Droid Sans Font.cab" to your phone in post #9. Alternatively, search for the file, arialuni.ttf, (Arial Unicode MS) first on your Windows PC if not then on the web and copy it to your phone, \Windows\Fonts directly. This is a 22Mb file !
c) Restart your phone and see if those files are showing proper characters.
d) If it does, then go ahead, open it and see what's the content like. Rename the file then delete. Uninstall the "Droid Sans Font.cab" if you wish. Personally, I don't like the font as the characters are rasterised.
Regards.
ugh, too much work. My phone isn't acting up, and even though I don't like uninvited strangers, they aren't eating up resources, and my phone is still functioning properly. I will keep these files you suggested handy in case something does start acting up, and see what happens.
yea, I am lazy when it comes to electronic stuff. Thanks for the info!
If you have SK Tools (or a similar app), try scanning the memory. It sounds like you have corrupted files or a corrupted directory. It may not be causing issues now, but it could cause issues sooner rather than later. You may also think about backing up everything now while you can.
