Hi,
I was able to use the USB HDD function on a HTC Universal device. Since moving onto Polaris I have lost that functionality. Now I have seen Sony Experia X1 with Windows 6.1 which has the same function in the Settings> Connections> USB to PC with an option to select either Active Sync or USB Disk Drive.
Is it possible for one of our great mods to extract this function and make it a part of the cooked Roms or as a stand alone cab?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Ciao
How about installing a wm6.1 rom?
Also it an USB Mass Storage Device, not a HDD... atleast I don't know about anything even remotely similar to a Hard Disk Drive in the polaris...
Polaris under 6.1 has no such option (mass storage device).
It has USB to PC, and there's only Advanced network functionality...
So it's an experia specific function... there are always alternative apps to do this
try using softick card export. works perfectly for me

Thanx mate, softick does it.
But can the mods extract that experia function to cook in Polaris Roms or Polaris is not capable of this function due to hardware software limitation.
Ciao

Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC turns your Pocket PC and Windows Mobile PDA into USB flash drive.

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

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
Thanks
an alternative freeware which seems to work nicely on Himas (can't speak for rest)....

Hey guys, i found this USB mass storage program WM5torage.
It seems to works with WM5 properly. Give it a try. Guess there's no need to use Softick anymore
Works perfectly with my Wizard! I mean i can see the drive. Though never tried to write to it yet. Should be working fine i guess.

btw... a note... you may need to reboot your system cuz it doesnt seems to work after activesync.
It's ok to post a link to another forum rite?
yup it's fine to
thanks for the link
Jip, found it through msmobiles.com - works well with my Universal!
works like a charm on my charmer... er, prophet!
Guys, how many times is this program going to be posted? Please search before engaging fingers...
V
well... i was pretty sure i was the first to post it
At my Wizard (last Qtek ROM) don't work;
Error: Cant switch to Mass Storage USB driver, error 1f
anybody know why? I disabled activesync before.
thanks
you can get updated version 1.32 from http://www.modaco.com/index.php?download=1702
regards
Same!!!
I Think is because today plug-ins SPB pocket plus ans Phonealarm, thar have shortcuts to SD card!
the New version now with read/write LED support and it works with pocket + on my Qtek9100!
No way... don't work at my wizard!
Dear all,
my xda (Prophet) gets connected to many different computers, the only common connection mode is USB. On some of them, I cannot install software by company policy.
What I am looking for is a simple, standalone program that can be run (eg from a USB stick) on the WinXP PC and will allow simple back and forth file transfer between the PC and the Prophet via USB.
No other functionality required. Does such a beast exist?
thanks for hints,
best regards

I want to be able to go to random computers: school/friends computers and be able to read/write files without any prior installations like activesync or file export. I think bluetooth might be one way. How about the supplied usb cable? BTW, I use the great Kaiser, aka att tilt.
WM5storage.
just what you are looking for.
Thanks. Just what I needed. Works perfectly. Tried Card Export II also. Works great. Thanks.
Hi, does anyone know if its possible to connect to Windows Mobile device from a PC WITHOUT installing Active sync?
I would like to connect to my HTC Diamond and although My Mobiler is very good, I would like to know if its possible without using Activesync?
Thanks in advance.
as long as u want a software for file transfer, u need softick card export (but it's not free) or wm5torage (it's free but it doesnt work on my device)
gud luck
thanks for the reply, it was more around an App that lets you control the device. Sorry I didn't make that clear in my first post.
Something with the functionality of http://www.mtux.com/ but without active sync would be good. I doubt it exists, as all my searches have resulted in nothing.
Regards
okay, prime example of RTFM... MyMobileR supports this already.
