Hello,
whencopying files - let's say some MP3 albums from PC to Kaiser via USB-Sync connection, it takes ages to complete. I guess it's about ~ 300KByte per Second.
I have a 6GB MicroSD Card Class 3 put in the Kaiser and expected a far better speed.
What is your performance?
If you're that concerned about speed, use the 6 GB card to transfer the files. Copy them from the PC onto the card using the USB reader you should have gotten with the card, then stick the card into your Kaiser.
I'm also wondering why the speed is so slow. The manual indicates that the Kaiser has "USB 2.0 Full-Speed". So why is it so slow? Doesn't support ActiveSync/WMDC USB 2?
Coping large files via Activestink has historically been slow. And on older HTC phones would cause disconnects. Two options is to use a card reader to transfer large files, the other is to use Softick Card Export to convert your phone into a card reader.
I already use Softik Card Export and I really love it. Maybe it is a little bit faster, but it doesn't exceed the USB 1 speed...

I just did a test with my TyTN II and Softik Card Export - not more than 1Mb/s. closer to .7Mb/s actually. I tested the USB cable with my portable USB2 drive and it was 25Mb/s - so the cable is fine.
I've emailed Softick to find out if USB2 is supported, or ever will be.
Will post here when I get a reply.

However, Softick Card Export is MUCH better than ActiveSync.
I'll buy it right now...
Thanks !

hi folks
this is my first post and any help would be appreciated...
i have a mda vario 3 and am trying to install software on the sdhc card 8gb by sandisak.
my computer sees this as an external drive but still says insert disk in drive d? some colleagfues say the pc cannot read that size of the card and requires a bios update????? any ideas what they are talking about and how i fix this problem
Thanks in advance
Hi tubzy,
I'm new to this topic, but I think you'll need a SDHC compatible card reader.
In the linked thread is a solution I think.

EDA-One
no solution still
hi eda-one
sorry this still is no soluton - i do hae the latest sandisk with the card reader and once all this gear is connected to the pc it says...please insert a disk in drive f??
even though the disk is in the usb card reader
did you try format it?
If you have used the card on an 'oldish' PC without the latest BIOS or Windows updates installed it may not be SDHC compatible even using a card reader.
You can also get a situation where formatting using the standard Windows formatter or even just writing files to it from your PC will corrupt its filing system.
There are various utilities available on SD manfacturers sites for formatting and recovery.
Check out the 'Formatting and Read/Write check util in the OEM section here and download the latest drivers for your reader whilst there.

Hope this helps.
Hi and thank you
HI
Even after trying this it still doe s not work,
I have downloaded the utility and attempted to run it but it says no usb found even though it can vonnect to a usb pen drive?? any ideas ??
thank you
I had that same problem when I first got my 4 Gb SDHC card and it was because I didn't connect the card reader directly to a USB port, instead I was using an external USB port. When I put it in to an onboard one, even though all of mine are on the back of my computer, it started working.
8gb card
Hi and thanks for your response.
i am sorry but can you please clarify what you mean to be onboard usb port. Is this the sockets where you normally connect any usb device eg a mouse to a computer or do you mean i have to take the computer apart and do it a motherboard level?
I am not very technical and apologise in advance if it sounds a silly question.
I bought the damn thing and was hoping it would and should work from out of the cardboard package. I can see this on the my computer as an external drive but when clcikcing on it it says insert disk
if the disk was faulty it would not work on the phone but on the phone it says 7.5 gb available and have stored some data there. So i think it it is a case of the pc not being able to read the card and from there i dont know what the problem is.
Any further light on this subject would really be appreciated

You have it right about what I meant. I did mean the sockets where you connect any USB device. You don't need to take your computer apart or anything. If that's what you are already doing then it's possible that the reader that you got with the card may just be faulty.
Not knowing what adapter you are using is a problem. I had similar problems with my first SDHC card and finally went to a local office supply store (Staples) and bought a "Sandisk MobileMate+ USB Memory Card Reader" for $15. It is a memory stick sized device and it accepts the SDHC MicroSD cards directly in it's slot. This works great on any PC so far.
It just may be the reader.
thanks!
This is a nightmare on elm street scenario.
I have finally tracked it to a faulty card reader, so i purchased another one. This one works and we have another problem - cannot copy data file path is too deep???????????
I am openeing another thread for that
Thanks to every1 for trying various solutions
I'm guessing you got a bad card..which is going to happen a lot with these high-cap cards, at least for a while. I am assuming you are using the small, plastic USB reader that came with the 8 gb card....that plugs directly into a USB socket? If not...I can tell you right now..the "older" adapters will NOT work with 4/6/8 gb cards. By this, i mean the adapter/reader that usually comes with the cards in the package. Also, it may sound silly..but make SURE you didnt, or are not, forcing the card into the phone/reader backwards...i know it's silly, but it's damn easy to do..and it usually trashes the card. My 8 gb just got in tonight...and it's working like a champ. I'm guessing you got a bad card. best of luck.
This is crazy. My phone reads the card just fine, but the card readers I have do not work period. 8G SDHC
Is there any alternative for softick card export. WM5 storage don't seem to work on the kaiser.
Install trail version of Softick and then install WM5 1.8

Install trail version of Softick and then install WM5 1.8. USe Softtick once and then start using wm5storage. this is been working with my tilt. even after softtick expired.
HTH
I tried WM5torage and wasn't able to get it to work with my ROM. My understanding is that it will work IF you have the drivers to support the usb drive connection already, since WM5storage doesn't have them... so it really depends on your OS. I purchased a Softick license and I must say that it works perfectly. The difference is that Softick comes with the usb drivers.
My guess is that by installing the Softick trial, WM5torage can access the softick drivers.
Card Export II is well worth the small price. And I find the interface better than the WM5storage.
Pocket Controller Pro?
using softkick, is it normal for it to take 1 hour to transfer a 1.7gig file onto a 6gig sandisk card inside my tytn ii?
Mine wasn't quite that long. I just moved 1.26GB of music file and it took about 26 minutes.

Softick doesn't advertise the transfer rate of Cardexport II.
USB Full Speed (1.1) ~1.5MB/S => 1.7GB file would take about 19mins theoretically.
USB High Speed (2.0) ~60MB/S => 1.7GB file would take about 30secs.
You rarely see these theoretical speeds because of so many variables to both computers as to how fast they read and/or write. I'd say your "real" speeds suggest something close to a slow USB 1.1 connection
I see.
Vista was telling me it was going at 444kb/sec and about 54 minutes to transfer all of it (accordign to vista, but that doesn't really mean much)
I mean, normally it would have taken 2-3 hours if i wasnt using this little app.
Cool idea, just not worth the money to spend on I guess if i could just take 3 seconds to pop out sd card and put it into reader/usb port.
Darn, was lookin pretty cool at first!

Thats one of the selling factors for me. I don't have to carry or have access to a card reader when I'm away from the house. I can take it to work, friends houses and on vacation and be able to transfer files without the card reader. Most computers don't have card readers but about every computer now has a USB port you can plug into. Then it gets even more complicated with microSDHC as most existing card readers can't read them so then you'd be forced to carry a reader with you.
I got it to work for a few days, but suddently this app just keeps disconnecting and switch back to activesync. I have tried plenty of way of connecting it in Card-Export, but it just keeps switching back to activesync. Very sad. Can some gurus here pls share if you have similiar experience? thnks
Hello together!
I have an Ameo 8GB WM 6 which I want to use in my car - so far so good.
In addition, it is to play my MP3 collection.
But I have more Mp3 than 8 GB Mp3 - how can I extend the capacity?
Which external USB-HDD runs at the Ameo?
I have already tested a lot of HDD 2,5’’ - 1,8’’ - 3,5’’ but nothing works
I get only one USB-sticks to run!
Which capacity of USB-Sticks will work? 128GB?
Can I Use an external HDD with WLAN like the old ASUS WL-HD to map to the Ameo?
Can anybody help me?
I have searched a lot in various forums – some one has already running an external HDD via 4 in one cable.
Thanks!

There are two reasons why external HDDs don't work initially with the Athena:
1. Windows Mobile only has support for FAT volumes. Since most extHDDs now sold are formated as NTFS, they can't be read.
Solution: reformat (if you can) the HDD as FAT16/32. You might need to get a 3rd party program to do this as Windows XP won't format a drive in FAT if it's larger than 32GB (IIRC). USB flash drives are almost always formated in FAT16/32, which is why your Athena has no problem with them.
2. The HDD requires more power than the Athena can give. A standard USB port provides 500mA, but Windows Mobile devices that have USB Host/USB2Go only provide 100mA. That's good enough for nearly all keyboards, mice, and USB flash drives, but insufficient for HDDs (which can take as much as 700mA before spinning up).
Solution: You have to run the drive on external power if you want the Athena to read it.
I've done both the above and once got a 80GB drive mounted as an experiment. One odd thing about the Athena though - it'll only mount one drive from a USB hub.

I don't see why not, if you can figure out how to get a network drive mounted. It's supposedly straight forward (I've done that before with WM2003SE), but WM5/6 appear to be a bit more 'sensitive'.
the power Ok - I'll test it with an FAT32 formatted Disk!
And extarnal power!
Can I Use an USB-Y-Cabel for the power and plug the power USB to an running PC?
And it works fine
Trekstor USB 120GB works fine with HTC 7500 WM6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this will help "others",
because I tried a lot of different hardware for my athena HTC 7500
(dgimate ,like optical10 did suggest;it works but drains battery and wasn´t very foolproof)
but none did really satisfy my desires,
Today I bought a TrekStor USB 1 1/8 inch usb drive 120 GB and it works since a few hours very well,
I am using a HTC cable 4in 1 with mouse and a stowaway external bluetooth keyboard and everthing is working witout problems.
With SK-Tools I made a benchmark-test with Trakstor HD:
Reading : 15554 kb/s
Writing : 171 kb/s could be a bit faster
Hardware :
Athena Ameo T-Mobile
8 GB micro SD Sandisk
8 GB in build microdrive
external USB Digimate 160 GB Toshiba HD (battery draining)
Trekstor 120 GB 1 1/8 inch very small (like a credit-card)
a batterypack 6x1,3 V with an usb car adapter for the right voltage wth 10000 mah x1,3x 6 ist nearly 75000 mw or 7,5 Watt
Bluetooth Ear-Phone (usefull in car for speaking commands)
Simore silver Dual-Sim telefone-adapter wich works very fine (GSM only )
Stowaway bluetooth keyboard
USB cable mouse
Favorite software:
mortscipt,PocketDos(all my old clipper programs are working fine ) JKWörterbuch
Total commander
TomTom, IGO2008 and Navigon
(I tried them running all three in parallel and they work without problem)
System :
WM 6 professional CE OS 5.2.1620
Why I am writing this:
In many forums I found very divergent opinions about using the above hardware. Some human beings seam to like misleading "others".
P.S.
("I am searching an USB-Trackball WM-6 and 4in1 cable compatible), perhaps s.o. can give me a link where I can order such helpfull technic")
"Even until totay everything works fine because I copied this answer"
Ok
I tried 3 HDD all three formatted as fat32 and plugged to 4in1 cable.
The VGA software was turned off.
no one did work at all! I always used a power cable plugged into another running PC!
Do you think it might be the rom-version of T-mobile - should I take HTC?
@xdawis
If you say this one works: TrekStor USB 1 1/8 inch usb drive 120 GB
Is it this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/TREKSTOR-externe...ryZ47597QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Which battery pack do you mean?
then I try to get it - but if it even don't works?

Hello Speedy2101,
I didn´t make any special settings on the Ameo,
I am using WM6 profesional
CEOS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
2007 Microsoft
Its original German WM6 from T-mobile
I upgraded from WM5
The first things you proof:
Does the 4in1 cable work correctly with an USB-Stick?
If it does , did you proof the microdrive with an other PC
With the HDD from Trekstor I didn´t even format it or did something like that
Otherwise I do not understand why it is working for me and not working with your application.

Ameo HDD New benchmark results !!!
I installed a new version (4.4.4.1)SK-Tools and tested my trekstor HDD again;
With the ameo it displays nearly the same results.
Has anybody got such unbelievable results?

120 GB still works with Athena / Ameo
Is there anybody who is interrested in using an external 120 GB HDD with an ameo?
I can not believe that nobody else would like to use this comfortable facility
of external storage.
The 4in1 cable ad 120 GB are working without any problems since a couple of months.

I am, but at such a high price...($179) http://www.amazon.com/TrekStor-Data...QODM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1233618924&sr=8-1
definitely not in that kind of price.
Toshiba 250 GB Portable External Drive cost only $89.00
This adapter can be used as an alternative for the USB-Host functionality but I was afraid the microSD part wouldn't be long enough to fit the HD2 MicroSD slot.
So I managed to get its microSD part length according to expansys' product image:
The length is only 17mm but the minimum length to get it work with HD2 must be 20.5mm. I used a calliper to measure that.
So, I was hopping anyone would come up with an idea to use this adapter with HTC HD2.
Please notice that the adapter price is £29 excluding the shipping cost so I prefer not take the risk to disassemble it for extending the microSD length if it isn't possible.
Thanks in advance,
that's a very interesting product..
What is it for, are you trying to use a USB stick instead of your micro SD card?
If so, why?
a portable HDD caddy LOL
shame though, the MicroSD port wont put out 5v 500mah
although its probably enough to power a CF/MSproDUO/XD type of reader for example to clear some space on your digital camera card without deleting images (or simply to view them on a bigger screen )

Sometimes you really need work on a USB stick but you don't have access to PC.
Or as quasi_mojo said you can connect a card reader to your device...
Will I be able to play some mp3's directly from a pendrive with this device? Because I have about 25GB of music and I can't afford a 32GB microSD card.
i THINK (i could be wrong...) a pendrive would require more nearer 5volts to work...
opened up my SDcard reader a few days ago, plugged into usb with a 2gb sdcard...it was pulling 3.4-3.6volts while accessing the card, which is damn close to the MicroSD maximum voltage...
Anyone knows where to buy?
There is a shop in the USA, but who knows a shop in europe?

PS Why not attache a harddrive to my Tab
Nook Color option
It would be cool if someone could make a Micro SD socket adaptor (with a usb converter cable) that would allow the ability to connect to and drive a scanner and a printer. One would need the appropriate app designed for it too. A nice option for the Nook Color.
Hi there,
I had the mobydapter here, but it didn't function with my galaxy 7 inch tab. Pity I had to send it back. No function beside beeing very unstable by nearly dropping out of my tab. Oh I forgot it was blinking. ;-)
***MOD EDIT*** shows a Mobiadapter attached to a Galaxt Tab 7 tablet.. Somebody said that this doesn´t work on that Tab... What kinda of marketing.. Argh!
The Mobiadapter no loger exist.
Someone know something like that?
