XDA 2i as Removable storage - PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General

Hi all,
Did anybody try using XDA 2i as a removable storage? Unfortunately I am not allowed to install MS Activesync on my work PC, so any possible way to use it without ActiveSync.
I have a 4GB MMC card in my XDA but i still have to use a pen drive or burn files on to CD
Basically I want it to be able to use as a normal USB pen drive.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanx in advance

:
Well I've found that when I put my Xda IIi into my laptop (Windows XP Home edition) it comes up USB Mass Storage Device if I dont activesync it, but my Desktop PC (Windows XP Professional edition) doesn't.
In work (Windows XP Professional edition) it ocmes up as mass storage device again :S
I dont know how this works out, but anyway the easiest answer is to buy a card reader, then hey-presto, plug into ur usb and your laughing

Try add on software
try to installL
Softick card export, it can make your xda read as removable storage by windows.. :wink:

Tilt connection

HI, I was wondering if there is a way that I can find software that will install on my phone that I can connect to any computer. I would like to use the 8 gig sd micro for a portable hard drive storage. But there are some places that will not let me install actvsync. But it will let me charge the phone on the USB port. I travel a lot and would like to just transfer files without email

Try Card Export II (you can demo it, before you pay).
There are free versions of other Mass Storage app's but seem to have problems with the Kaiser.

hi why don't u use usb2pc? the pc will think your phone (micro sdcard) is an external harddisk.

USB to PC a Disk Drive mode

Hi There,
i have been searching for a while now but i could not find it anywhere.
is there a tool for the tytn II thats makes it possible to connect it to the computer and that you get a menu with the following:
active sync
disk drive mode
internet sharing
just like the diamond.
on my rom i only have these 2 options
active sync
internet sharing

That's because on the Kaiser nothing but the CardExport program manages to emulate disk drive mode.
Is the disk drive mode that CardExport gives you noticeably better than just exploring the phone when it's plugged in normally? I know when you do it that way it threatens to convert your files when you copy them over, but in my experience it never actually does.
The only time I used disk drive mode on my Hermes was so I could charge it via my PS3 usb port since I spend a considerable amount of time next to my PS3 (my ps3 is next to my theater chair since I have a 122" projection screen and the Projector and surround sound system - and PS3 - are next to the chairs in the back of the room.)
I haven't tried it on my Kaiser since when I got the Kaiser it came with another charger which I placed there so I don't need the PS3 to charge anymore.
I'd be interested to see if it would increase the transfer speed though.. my God is it slow..
There is one utility 'nueMassStorage' that is supposed to do this, however I can't get it to work. I have it cooked into my rom and it does indeed present you with the option of ActiveSync or Mass Storage when you connect it to a PC via USB. ActiveSync works as normal but unfortunately I can't get the Mass Storage to work - it appears as a drive but Windows can't open it.
Maybe you can have more luck with it? Its available here as an OEM package to cook into a ROM or as a .cab to install.

I think that's cooked into the HyperDragon III Raphael ROM.. I'll test it out later.. I only ever hit the active sync button since I don't like transferring over USB due to the ridiculously slow connection.
try WM5torage

I'd like to know how they got this working? I have tried all the USB memory card utilities I could find (WM5torage, Card Export and nueMassStorage) and I can't get any of them to work. WM5Torage just doesn't work at all, Card Export & nueMassStorage seem to exhibit the same behaviour where they activate and Windows sees a storage card but can't access it (I think it asks if you want to format it). I have tried on 4 different Windows XP & 2003 machines and all behave the same so it is obviously the Kaiser (or the ROM).
I have MS Voice Command installed and I think I read that this might be the problem, however I gave up in the end and carry a tiny microSD-USB adapter on a keyring so I can at least get access, even if I have to take the microSD out.

Nope, nevermind. PLugged it in and it's just active sync or internet sharing.. I can't remember where I saw that... might have been another phone I was using.. lol..

Same here, much faster for big files like TomTom maps.

Hmmm... I might give it a try then. Normally I use my card reader when I have big stuff to transfer, but it'd be nice to not have to physically move my card.

It's faster than Activesync indeed, and maybe more importantly doesn't require it to be installed on the PC you want to transfer files from, but it's still MUCH slower than putting the card in a reader. The communication on the Kaiser's USB is done at USB1.1 speeds (~800kB/s max while a card in a reader usually results in 3-15MB/s depending on the card and reader).

Yes this was my findings exactly. If you can use the card reader then do because nothing comes close in terms of speed.

[Q] S3 mini advice/help !

Hi all,
Got the s3 mini, no root, just plain stock. Running windows 7 on my pc, when I plug the s3 mini into pc via usb cable, the s3 mini shows up as a device rather than a drive, anyway to change this please ?
Reason is, I want to try and recover pictures I lost.
Try selecting the "camera" option.
Sent from Spaceball One.
Tried that, just the same, thanks though
Somewhere I read that holding the home key while connecting with computer will solve this. . . .

Makes no difference, tried it on camera and media while holding home and connecting.
Thanks for trying
This is what I get when I hook the phone up to my computer while holding down Home while booted into Ubuntu:
Unable to mount Android
Error initializing camera: -60: Could not lock the device

AFAIK you can't make the internal storage appear as a drive to the computer so that you can use programs to do recovery that needs low level access on the drive. That applies to most (all?) phones. The difference is that S3 mini doesn't even connect the external miniSD card as a drive to the computer, so you'll need to take it out, buy a card reader for 5 euros and connect it that way to the computer.
Ok, thanks. Its photos on the phone that are missing, done the sd card already. Looks like there gone now.

You are wrong.
Connect the phone with pc via usb and enable MTP way.
You can see internal AND external SD card
