Active Sync "files" sync directory problem
I have an 8125 with WM6 (XDA mobile 6 R2a) we put on it. Somehow this phone has gotten the idea the default directory for File sync is on a storage card on not the default location with the device memory. So basically when the memory card is out it will not sync and there is no way so far that we can find to change this behavior. If we go into the active sycn setting on the phone and select files then the SETTINGs button goes grey (even when mem card is in) and we can not change. If we try to change from the PC side all that does is let us change the default dir on the PC NOT the phone itself.
Is their some way to get the phone to think its default is back to the "Device" My Documents dir???
Any reg setting I can change. THis is driving me nuts.
ANd yes I have deleted the partnerships and deleted the mobile device active sync settings on BOTH sides and repartnered and it still

I'm using WM6 (mUn), and I'd like to store my e-mail on my SD Card. But the card takes too long to mount, so when Cingular 8125 boots up, it creates a new "Storage Card" folder to put the mail in, and mounts my actual Storage Card as "Storage Card2"...
If I remove the "PropertyPath" value in the Registry, it mounts my card normally, but my e-mail (poutlook.exe) is placed in "Windows\Messaging" on the main memory. This seriousl limits the amount of mail I can have in poutlook. (I am storing attachments on the SD card - but that is insufficient for what I need.)
I know that the problem is related to order things happen at boot time (and after a power-on restart), but is there a solution to this _ANNOYING_ design flaw from Microsoft?
Is there any way to talk to Microsoft about this issue - clearly any other "computer" mounts it's storage devices before it starts looking for places to store things. Why does Windows Mobile (all versions) choose to do this in such a retarded way?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ummm...have you renamed the new folder it creates to storage card.bak, then reboot and put your card back in and see if it stops doing that.
This is a common problem on the Tmobile Wizard I am using, that solved my problem.
But, it stopped doing that since I went to Xplore rom. Also, remove messagin from the today screen, it might be what is also causing it.
Good luck.

What file under outlook holds my phone contacts? I need to move it over to another computer so i can sync my phone with tht one.
have installed the trial, used it, had problems and now purchased it, so i thought i'd detail out some of my experiences in case anyone else might be interested in using it...
installation doesn't use activesync, instead the windows installer asks to have access to your storage card, so either taking it out and using with a card reader or using the file transfer option the HD2 has. Once the storage card is available as a drive on the windows system then the Navigon installer will go through a wizzard to install the maps/languages onto the card. After it's copied all the files it will leave behind an autorun. The autorun will be executed when the HD2 USB is disconnected, a cab is installed to create the start menu icon.
I found that after this process was completed my battery life was terrible (losing 10% per hour) even when nothing was running, i suspected MobileNavigator was leaving someting open/running, like the GPS but after resetting and not running it, the battery life was still terrible. I deleted two files on the storage card called install05.cab and autorun.exe located in a folder called 2577 which appeared after the windows part had installed the other navigon files. At the same time i removed the app via the remove programs option. These together solved the power problem. I suspect that only one of these was causing the problem but because i did them at the same time i'm not sure which one did it.
Afterwards you can still run and use mobilenavigator from the storage card by running the .exe or you can recreate the start menu item.
Activation is a little clunky, it should auto activate via an sms message, but that did not work on mine and required manually entering the activation key.
during the trial (which requires a data connection for the trial period) the Traffic Live feature never displayed any traffic information to me, i can only suspect this feature is not available in the uk.
Burried in the settings is an option to rotate to landscape mode, which works perfectly on the HD2, 2d and 3d maps shown in nice high rez and scroll pretty smoothly.
MobileNavigator for WinMo is currently discounted on the navigon website:

I have a Samsung Captivate with a broken screen. I Do Not have auto mount installed, therefore it is impossible to mount the drive because i can not navigate. Has anyone had any luck with any programs forcing the phone to auto mount the drive; or has anyone had luck retrieving contacts/files off the phone with a broken screen? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
use adb to pull your contacts & data files... hope you had usb debugging turned on.... might work in recovery.. never tried.
next time have your contacts save and sync to google. then you can just login to gmail to see/get use your contacts.
important files should be saved to external sd card whenever possible for this reason too.
