change file download location to storage card

Hey,
thanks to madds, I can now transfer files over bluetooth on my qtek 8300. Does anyone know any registry changes I can make to change the default location for downloaded files to the storage card, instead of main memory?

Messaging and SD CARD2 problems with the new AT&T ROM (1.62.502.0)

I successfully flashed the new ROM on my Tilt 8900.
After I began reinstalling my apps on my SD card, I encountered the annoying SD CARD2 problem.
For those who are not familiar with this, it's a Win CE bug, which makes the OS to "recognize" a new SD card, which is actually the real SD card.
The problem is related to Messaging.
The solution is as follows:
1) Disable Messaging from Start-Today.
2) Run the built-in File Manager.
3) Delete the (fake) SD CARD folder.
4) Goto the SD CARD2 folder (which is the REAL SD card) and delete all Messaging related folders (ie attachment folders.
5. Extract the SD card and SR.
6. Run the File Manager, check that the SD card is now called SD CARD. If not - rename it from SD CARD2 to SD CARD.
7. Exit the File Manager, re-enable Messaging from Start-Today.
USUALLY - this solves the problem.
I found that with this ROM - it DOESN'T.
So after 3 HRs and many many hours reinstalling my apps, I finally understood the problem, and changed all Messaging settings so that messages and attachments are now stored in main memory.
This includes the storage options available in Messaging, and several options available in Kaiser Tweak.
I know that this isn't a good idea, as it fills up memory very quickly, but it's the only solution that worked.
If anyone finds a better solution, please post it here.

HELP! What's in my SD?

I am using the Darkforce ROM of WM 6.1, after I insert a SD in my Universal, I found that aa file generated automatically called "EncFiltLog.menc". It will continuous exist no matter I deleted it or not.
Anyone know what is "EncFiltLog.menc"??
By the way, I am using Transcend 16GB SDHC. Today, I found that my PPC can't detect it suddenly, I tried to insert it on my NB, but there are some files halt! When I double click it and wait for a moment, a messege box appear and say there are some problem about I/O device. No any device can detect my card now, anyone know what's the issue? I even can't format it now...
Please HELP!!
THANKS YOU VERY MUCH!

.menc files
.menc files are encrypted files.
When you set the option to encrypt files (Start\Settings\System\Encryption) then anything new that is saved to your SD card will be encrypted (and will have this extension - although this extension doesn't appear when viewing from the device that encrypted the files).
To read the file, you must view it via your device. (You can view/transfer it onto your PC via active sync from the device that encrypted it).
If you have reflashed your device without backing up your SD via active sync, then I don't think there is any way of recovering the file . (NB. I copy everything from my SD card to my computer before reflashing, and then copy it all back again ).

Hi my friend!
I had the same issue but with things 4.1 ROM. I don't know how, but i tried every day to format my sd card, and after 5 days it worked I have also this file in the root... It's the encryption file i think...
Mine was a 2GB panasonic SD not an SDHC... Keep trying!

Thanks for all reply!
But I found that I haven't tick the option of"Start\Setting\System\Encryption" , but the file still exist! I don't know why...
Any my SD issue....
I an using this ROM for few weeks already, but not newly flashed. My SD have no problem before. Haven't backup the datas is my mistake! I am so regreted. My SD is now can't detect from all device, and I can't format it also.
ALL DATAS ARE LOST!! Just wanna cry!

damaged sd-card!
Hi! Had the same problem with my new kaiser. Also thought about problem of ROM or the device itself. But it was just the SD-Card itself. Bougth a new one - no probs anymore...

any true solutions to this?

I have this same problem, so the only way to fix it is to get a new card?

Step By Step To Delete File EncFiltLog.menc (EFLG.m)
1) Insert your SD into Card Reader Cut EFLG.m
2) Paste insde your PC
3) Defrag your SD card
4) Select Option Tools>Folder Options>View Select Show hidden file
5) Now you can see new folder ie File 0000
6) Delete the folder
7) Now your SD card become as original

I read somewhere (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2718217&postcount=9) that the hidden file "EncFiltLog.menc" is stored on every SD-Card by WindowsMobile weather encryption is activated or not.
So it should be no problem to have it on the card - as long as everything works.

htc hd2 mail on storage card - wm 6.5

anyone know a way this works properly,
basically the registry has been tweaked to save mail to storage card, but when you reboot the phone the storage card changes to storage card2,
ive disabled sense/touch flo,
nothing else is is booting up in windows mobile
before i reboot though the mail does store on storage card, but when i reboot it makes a folder on the phone memory
how can i stop this once and for all??

manny questions on this but nowhere answers

+1
I have same problem.... no solution ... still working

I don't think there is a fix for this, its due to the way the hardware works on newer HTC devices.
Problem is when booting the phone, the registry is read before the the SD card is ready.
So when the phone reads "storage card" as a location and the card is not ready the phone will make a folder called storage card.
Now when the SD card is finally ready it want to call itself "storage card" but the name is allready taken, so now it names itself "storage card2"

ive sorted this when i had this problem
open up resco file explorer and you'll see that it sees the device memory, storage card and storage card 2. 'storage card' will be empty, so just delete it, then reboot. (dont rename storagecard 2).
when you turn it back on, everythings in order again

Old problem requires new solution
Hi,
This problem is happening in the old WM5 and previous.
The say to avoid the creation of Storage Card before the mounting of the real SD was simply removing the "messaging" application from the Today Screen.
Now, the solution seems to be different.
I hope we can find it soon.

All working now
thanks

Can you confirm that you have all mails in the storage card?
Please note that only attachments can be moved to Scard without this problem, and it is when you try to move all mails that after a reset the Store card 2 issue happens.
Regards

FOUND THE ANSWER!!
After many reboots etc.,
1.Delete the storage card on the device!
2.Eject the storage card on the phone and reinsert (while phone is still on). (check filemanager shows Storage Card Only)
3.Hit Windows Start, go to email, then menu, then options, then storage.
4. Tick "When available, use storage card to store attachments", Click OK.
5.Restart HTC Sense and Voilla all is fixed!

Are you sure your have now all maiLs in Sdcard, or only the attachments?

Hi all,
i found the solution! (actually all post help me find out).
SOLUTION:
1- remove your SD-Card from phone.
2- open file manager, you should see "STORAGE CARD". if you open it, you can see there are some folders for email (inobx.********).
3- delete all. "STORAGE CARD" & "STORAGE CARD2" &...
4- now insert your SC-Card. it will be "STORAGE CARD" :cyclops:
good luck

[Q] name of storage card

Hi , can someone help me ?
I want to change the name of my storage card,
actually the name is "καρτα αποθηκευσης" and i want to change to
"storage card".
Please help...
Thanks...

With a registry editor go to
HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\PROFILES\SDMMC and
HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\PROFILES\SDMemory
and change both from "καρτα αποθηκευσης" to "storage card"

thanks you ....

Yeah, but remember - if you change memory card default name you lost path's to installed apps on it and other functions which need access to memory card.
