Hi, just got my x7510 a few days ago. Its going to replace my laptop.
But I have a slight problem. When I connect the X7510 as a mass-storage device only the inbuilt flash drive (16GB) shows up but the memory card doesnt. How do I make that show up ? And not via Activesync but as mass-storage.
Thanks for helping in advance !
what version of windows are you running?
also ever tried wm5 storage? you can use it to select hard disk or memory card as the pass through device for usb mass storage
it only grumps if a program is holding access to the device
eg: today plugin using storage card as it's home and has open files being used.
also known as file locking, same as windows
t works fine on my x7500 (ameo)

there is a registry setting you can alter to make the sd card the mass storage device
search on the athena forum as it was mentioned in the wm5storage thread I think
whoops cyberjack is right
The registry setting was for usb to pc
change the settings "USB to PC"
on ameo16gb you can switch settings from ActivesSync to Mass Storage without change registrykeys

Yes but what he wants is to use the sd card as the mass storage device instead of the default SSHD
WM5torage works but its slow. 1MB/s only.
Suggest you give this a try... works great on my 7510.

This may be in the settings/system tab and is a lot faster but you may have to do a registry change
have a look in advanced config 3 to see if it can be changed there easily
storage card problem
i inserted a mini sd on x7510 i went to view documents on there it dosent show anything the x7510 dosent know the card is there
If you open File Explorer and navigate to My Device, can you see Storage Card in the folder tree? If so can you open the tree to see your documents?
If so, I can't see any reason why Office Mobile won't pick them up. If not, there may be a problem with either the MiniSD card, or the card slot. Which document types are you opening? For instance, if you have an Excel file in your MiniSD card, open Office Mobile/Excel then at the top of the screen tap the Folder list and select 'All Folders' to see if it picks the file up. This works fine on my X7510
Format the miniSD card with your PC

Take out the miniSD card, slot it into your laptop and format it to FAT or FAT32 and insert back into the X7510.

This was a very old thread, and the problem was answered to an extent!
The OP didn't have a problem with the X7510 seeing the MiniSD card- he wanted Windows to see it on the PC when connected as a Disk Drive rather than activesync. By default, Disk Drive connectivity sees the flash disk not the MiniSD.
There is a registry hack to change this, but the easiest answer is to use WM5torage which can be set to see either.
viewing files
i inserted a sd card in my x7510.but dont know how to view the files from the device.when i go to programs it shows flash disk and device programs
it says oper9
when i enter it it says opera9.storage card.it says the same thing even if theres no sd card inserted
Hey everyone,
I have a 1gb micro sd card. It apparently has bad blocks and cannot be recognized by my 8525 (WM6.1), vista pc or xp sp2 pc. I have the programs to recover the info on it, but none of these programs are effective because the card doesn't show up as a drive.
I am attempting to access the card directly from the phone. With the pc's I have an usb adapter that I know works because I use it for my 8gb micro sd card to swap information.
Can some one give me an answer on how to either fix the bad blocks or make the card recognizable by the ppc or pc's? The recovery programs I have say they will get info off a formated card, but I can't format what the phone or pc's doesn't recognize.
Thanks.
which apps did you try?
if if i'm not mistaken i managed to recover a card using Active Recovery 7
The easiest way for me was, plug your card back to where it gave you a bad blocks, and it should be readable, then backup your datas there,.
this is what i did to my 2GB miniSD for Olympus e520 SLR Camera (the camera lost now),.
I plug it in to my friend laptop, then it cant be readable by any device, then i plug it again, and its readable, then i back it up, then i leave the miniSD,.
Hey G, Thanks for the reply. The card went bad in a digital camera. So I should place the microsd card in the camera, use the usb cord to connect to the pc, remove the usb cord once the card doesn't read, then reconnect the usb cord?

I'll check out Active Recovery 7. Thanks.
My phone is telling me that my storage card is full (it’s not) and I’ve lost my ‘program files’ folder, all of my music and the folder with the naked pictures of my ex-girlfriends in………. Damn
I’ve read lots of threads about storage card recovery, but I haven’t found an application that can run from the actual phone itself (I have a Kaiser).
I can’t find my card reader, so can’t connect it direct to my PC!
Anyone got any suggestions?? Freeware is always a bonus
Thanks in advance
never heard about a ppc undelete tool but card readers are dirt cheap
may even work if you put the pda in disk mode and connect it over usb to the pc

PDA in disk mode is new to me? Could you explain how please?? Or alternatively perhaps a program that can work via activesync??
Had a similar issue reecently, all the folders on my card were given random names made up of weird characters. Even connecting to the PC didn't help, still silly names.
I thought, OK, nothing to lose and i soft reset my trinity, hey presto everything came back. Don't ask what had happened i don't know.

I have extra folders with letters and characters (perhaps renamed) but alas, soft reset does nothing......
well, usb to pc mode can be done using Softick Cardexport or WM5torage, but you HAVE to copy the installation files to your DEVICE or it will physically overwrite storage card data. take out your storage card, connect your device and move the installation file to your device, install the program and insert the card, then connect in Removable Storage mode and use Active Recovery 7 to recover your storage card's files.

Great stuff, thank you very much.
I'm on the case now.
I'm a Nexus One owner, previously G1/MyTouch3G also, so I'm no n00b.
With all Androids, if you have a microSD card, you just plug in the USB and you can mount the microSD card as a drive and copy stuff to it. Which is necessary since we have stupid small ass internal storage. Also it's where we copy pictures/mp3s to it.
So now, with the Samsung Galaxy S series of phones with 16 GIGS of internal storage, how do we ACCESS this storage from the PC so we can copy pictures/mp3s to the internal storage? Is there a way to MOUNT the internal storage?
I haven't read a SINGLE thing about this.
It would REALLY suck if we had to manually do it: Mount microSD, copy stuff to it, unmount, use a file explorer on the phone itself and manually move the files into internal storage.
Yeah there's probably root apps and such that you can ssh in, or use adb to transfer, but that's NOT ideal.
Would be nice is the internal storage auto mounts when mounting microSD like Garmin GPS systems. Garmin GPS systems have SD card slot, when you plug it in, you can see the INTERNAL Garmin memory as well as whatever is on the SD card. (You'll see 2 removable storage devices mounting in Windows).
I think when it's plugged in, the normal notice pops up in the notification bar. But instead of just asking you to mount, it asks if you want to mount internal or the sd card.

No luck accessing internal RAM from me either (and I think other reviewers on CNET had the same bad luck)...Just got mine on Friday, and it is great except for connecting to the PC (64bit Vista) looping through MTP mode (the device keeps flashing back and forth between main screen and MTP mode, and the PC keeps trying to install the right driver to access the device as a USB mass storage device). Multiple restarts and messing with the device in Device Manager yielded no results, so I just used removable SD card to add files to the device. That obviously works fine, but is irritating.
Anyone else having trouble accessing Captivate as Mass Storage Device?
Best wishes to all.
I can't tell if you're using the Captivate driver located here.
Loosely related...I'm curious as to whether all the work going on in the Modaco SGS forums to optimize I/O (such as this) is applicable at all to the Captivate...anyone know?
I installed the driver on my Win7 machine.
I set up the USB to ask when I plug it in. I select Mass Storage. Two drives show up in the list of drivers, but when I click either one, it says "Please insert a disk in the removable disk".
What am I missing?
[EDIT]
Hang on, there was a window behind my windows with a message about install failure, device unplugged. Trying again.
[EDIT2]
Installed again. Didn't get error. Using same method as above, still no go.
So then I select PC Internet the next time I plugged in the USB cable, and it then gave the Windows POPUP saying Installing Drivers, and finished with Ready to Use. But, now I don't see the drives in Explorer. So I launched Windows Mobile Device Center...didn't see anything.
In settings goto Applications > USB Settings > select "Mass Storage" and viola!

I have the popup set to ask, and as noted in my post, I did select Mass Storage first couple times. It does show drives, but but when I click either one, it says "Please insert a disk in the removable disk".
Thanks for the suggestion though.
The windows 7 drivers for htc android phones are hosed in general for me. I have to use linux in a virtual machine to access ANY htc android phone.
once you hit mass storage, if you bring the notification bar down, you can click the "usb" setting and select mount. Perhaps that will work? (or is that for mac only?)

yes, when you do this you will be able to access both drives without it asking you to insert a disk
I am new to android so I had this problem for a while. But you made my day madjsp. I have been trying to get this phone connected to my pc for the past 2 days, but with very little success. The kies software detected my phone only twice. But this connection was very erratic. Just to copy 200mb of photos the link showed a transfer time of 7 hours. The device would often disconnect itself after like 10 secs.
But until samsung fixes their software and drivers, the mass storage option works very reliably for transfering files between pc and (internal+external) sd cards.
My directions:
1) Choose the Mass storage option in USB settings of the device
2) Then connect to the comp.
3) There should be a message in the notification bar: "USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer" . Tap the notification and select mount from the popup.
Now you can view both sd cards from pc and transfer files to/fro w/ ease.
The last step is the most important one. For all those having the problem where clicking the drive in the pc reads "Insert a media into the drive", this should fix the problem. Maybe it is something android specific that I didn't know...
Same thing happen to me, i found drivers on this site and instead or hitting mass storage when it is connect to PC, I hit media PLAYER and it worked fine i was able to see the 16GB and my SD card, Loaded music and videos and pics with no problem, also remember only plug into the back of computer. you can find drivers on this site that will work on like pages 3-6

Selecting Media player worked for me as well. I now can see and have access to both my internal and external / removable SD card. Good lookin' out!
I have a 16GB SanDisk micro sdhc card that I use constantly in my incredible. It has all my songs, pictures, application and widget files and my phone cannot access it. It attempts to read the card then says 'card unexpectedly removed.' I suffered with that all day hoping that I could get home and try to copy the files to my pc and then format the sd card. Then my pc wouldn't recognize the card either. Once I plug it in, the autoplay would start reading the files, then it would stop and a message pops up saying 'please insert a disk into drive H.' It would not allow me to open up the drive, let alone copy any files from it. Nor could I format the card either.
Does anyone have any good information on how to either get my files back by getting the card working again, or by formatting the card, as i can do neither one at the moment.
Thanks,
Merry Xmas
