Copy to and from memory card without ActiveSync !!! - General Topics

Hi guys,
I don't have a card reader, so I would like to know if I can copy files from my PC and paste them into my mini-SD, because I can't do that with ActiveSync !!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Search for a program called WM5 Storage and install that on your device. It makes the computer think it's interfacing with a SD reader so that you can copy back and forth like you can with activesync

Thank you so much Urthwhyte !!!! Cheers to you !

AM I right in assuming that the program worked for you? Good luck with copying over with whatever it was you needed to, and a belated welcome to the forums!

Yes! But a large file ( aprox. 900MB ) gave me a redundance error. I'll try again today.
By the way, I think that this software came already bundled in the latest Ax3l ROM !!! eventhough, thanks for your kindness words and support !

Well... my previous comment refered working in windows XP. Unfortunately, I'm getting to even a more solid conclusion that Windows Vista is really a pain. There's a lot complicated things ( or I'm a really hass *ole ); specially in recognizing my miniSD card of P3600, the P3600 itself. I had problems installing Windows Mobile Device Center in vista too. GRRR. Even my brand new external hard drive Lacie 500GB USB 2.0 is asked to install drivers. Even if install them... every time I logon into Vista it asks for drivers... !! I'm starting being tired of Vista issues. I will make a dual boot and that's the end of story.
Sorry about this last comment. But I needed to ...

Turn your device to USB flash drive

Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC turns your Pocket PC and Windows Mobile PDA into USB flash drive.
http://www.softick.com/download.php
Holy crap, this is nice.
But trial version? Please make sure you mention things like this =]
But yeah, installed, tested great. Puts a little icon in your "System Tray" to select between "Activesync" and "Card Reader".
Works on my Magician, connecting to XPSP1 machine. Yes, it had to install drivers but the drivers were native so in about 10 seconds I had access to my SD Card.
Did a quick file transfer test - MUCH faster than Activesync.
This might save me having to carry my card reader everywhere, despite the fact that the cable doubles as my Magician charger ;D
Now check this
change your owner name to
Dcs [RCAPDA]
then see what happen
Haha, thanks, but I've already fixed that little problem ;D
No go with the latest Qtek rom.
It say's you will have to download the newest USB driver ?!?!? :shock:
I discoverd that this one is for WM2003, downloaded the one for wm2005 but won't work either.
Lets see if there is an update some day.
Cheers,

on the download site
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
there are three downloads
1. ZIP Microsoft Windows Installation (English)
2. CAB package for Windows Mobile 2003 (English)
3. CAB package for Windows Mobile 2005 (English)
first one ZIP is ver 2.21
others are ver 2.11
try the zip
and they say
We are permanently developing support for the new devices. Tell us what device support do you need.
try it hope you get some luck
hay Jed D`Lagged tell me the secret
next time i will be careful to mention about trial versions
Unfortunately, it seems only to function in Read-only mode on WM2005, and quite slowly too. (at least on my himalaya)
You can make your phone a USB drive without extra software. I have read that it can be done. Havn't done it yet with my 6700, but did with my 6600 but cant remember how I did it
The WM5 one works a treat on my Universal and Wizard. Or rather,it did untill I upgraded the roms to direct push capable ones. Now I have to disable direct push and kill activesync before switching the card export to 'export' mode. Irritating but still quiet usable.
If you're worried about the trial version you could alway, er, buy it! It's cheep!
USB mass storage driver
i dont know what is this & what will it do ?
USB mass storage driver is free for personal use
http://www.deje.gmxhome.de/software.html
... wrong way around. That installs a driver that let's you plug USB thumb drives into your PocketPC.
Although... I don't know any Pocket PC devices that have a USB Slot A connection?
The Fujistu-Siemens Loox (older model) had a USB host.
Thanks

How to access my HTc Touch disk in Ubuntu

Hi all,
I am looking for some help in configuring my Ubuntu Linux 7.10 system to access my HTC Touch.
When in WinXP I have a "Mobile Device" icon in "My Computer" from which I can access the storage area of my Touch. I want to find out how to do the same thing in Ubuntu so that I can copy new files onto and off of my Touch.
I am not interested in syncing anything with my device such as email, contacts, tasks etc. I just want to copy files to and from my pda!
Once I can do that, I will finally move over to Linux completely.
Any help would be very much appreciated as I've been searching for a solution for about a week now and found very litle helpful info.
Thanx!
Well, you can try WM5torage:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1543
It turns your PDA into a mass storage device, so it'll be seen on ubuntu (or macOS, or Windows, or any other OS supporting USB storage) as a pendrive when connected. The downside is that way you can gain access only to the storage card, not the phone's main memory.
Take a look at this and maybe after that you can enjoy your freedom, I also considering going back to kubuntu.

I got a love/ hate relationship with both the os

Perfect instructions, though haven't figured out the msync tool. Well documented too.
Thanks everyone, I will try the links that you posted!

Do not bother yourself with registration, just download it from here:

Thank you for giving me an idea WM5torage is WORKING for me.

Total Newbie Question: Cannot Copy Files to HTC Love

Hello All,
I recently bought my first smartphone here in Beijing. It's a dopod D805; I hope to upload media to it from my Vista-loaded PC.
The problem is Vista doesn't seem to recognize the device. I downloaded Windows Mobile Center (sorry if I've got the name wrong) but it doesn't seem to do anything. The CD that came with the device doesn't work (it keeps telling me to install Flash 8.0, which seems to imply the software on the disc was designed for pre-Vista systems).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update:
The phone seems simply not to work on Vista. I am now dual-booting XP alongside Vista, and have had much more success using XP and Activesync.
A new newbie question:
I cannot copy files (music, PDFs) from my PC's HDD to the phone's drive. Each time I try I am told there is not enough free space on the drive. This is absurd, as there is nothing on the drive other than what came on it, and the files I'm trying to copy are quite small. What gives?

Welcome to the forum
Have a look in the Wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Love
Hope it helps,
Thanks for the response.
I checked that page before posting, but it doesn't seem to have much beyond the specs for my model.
All I want to do is install Pleco, and upload some MP3s/PDFs. When I plug the device in, I get the "bing bong" sound, but no new HD appears in My Computer. Since I'm running Vista, I can't use the bundled Activesync software.
Help?
i dont know if this will help but i cant sync my phone with xp unless i set my firewall to allow all.
if you go to my computer and look at your drives, does it not show you phone there as F: or whatever?
Right, it doesn't show a new drive. Note that I'm running Vista, not XP. I'm in the process of getting a dual-boot setup going, but I'm not there yet. Very frustrating.

CF card not working

I'm very sad and I'm hoping someone can help me with ANY idea that might work. I just bought a LifeView FlyPresenter CF card for my pda because I heard awesome things about it. Unfortunately any and all attempts to install the card so far have been unsuccessful with any driver version I could find. Plugging the card in hangs the pda until I remove it and soft-resetting with the card in hangs the boot process...when I remove it the thing boots normally and then gives me an error box saying it can't recognize the card (which I pulled out) and is looking for me to tell it what driver to use. I tried typing the driver name in the box but that did nothing, probably because I can't get the error box and have the card plugged in simultaneously. The Card is supposedly written for PPC 2002 and 2003 and I figured that it'd be compatible with WM6 but maybe I was mistaken....the software seemed to install normally and the app shows up on the programs list though.
So....I'm hoping somebody can help me either A) get the thing working or B) tell me how to trick the device into acting like a ppc 2003 or something crazy like that so that I can use the card in some limited way. It has a lot of awesome software and full motion video out that I want to take advantage of. Thank you for your kind support.
IPAQ 210 Enterprise
WM6 Classic (non cooked)

39 MB free space on the device
Anybody? I'm totally helpless at this point...
hi there, the drivers are imcompatible i have a Lifview cam, its a noshow on my 6.1 custom, you need 2003/se for it to work.
Sorry

Aww ****..... Is there anyway to emulate the OS on a wm6 device? I don't care how complicated or weird it is....any means of running the hardware would be better than having to sell this thing after I just bought it.

Sorry, i don't thinks its possible.
Hey have you seen on their website that they have SDK software? I just saw it now. Apparently it allows you to write drivers for whatever platform you want by simply using their dll files and writing the drivers for them. Problem is the link is 404 and I can't find the sdk anywhere else. I know they have the same software for the flycam too. Maybe if we each are able to find our respective versions of the SDK we can both use our hardware again.
Any ideas where I could find the SDK? My methods of searching for things are limited to google but you might know where else such things are likely to be found...

Hi, did you try using ActiveSync or Device Center to connect to your HD2, then clicking explore on ActiveSync or Device Center and then copying your files into your phone?

googd suggestion.
Hi and thanks for tip. i have already seen this, but its browsing the wrong way.. I want to browse the COMPUTER, not my phone
The next best thing I can think of is if you purchase an application from the Resco Software company. Resco Explorer will allow you to map your network drive on your device. It includes a host of other features that the stock explorer doesn't which will make file management much easier. I highly recommend it to everyone.

i got the soultion..
the good old Total commander finally worked, and now i can browse my server.. nice. thanks for all help guys.
