I have a new 8925 (Tilt) and have the following problem when I reset the device, either by the reset button or Powering down, The icons for the programs I have checked to appear in the start menu are blank until I go to start->settings->menus and uncheck then re-check one of the affected icons. Then all the icons are back to normal.
It is only the icons that are affected. The links work correctly and do launch the programs.
The icons in the recently used area are unaffected and remain correct. I am not switching out SD cards and I have tried uninstalling all today plugins that may be affecting it.
Is anyone else having this problem? I am suspecting that my Tilt is initializing before the SD card and creating this problem. Any suggestions?
Any of the effected programs run from the SD card?
Yes. It is all the the programs that are installed on the SD card.
Same issue with Start Menu icons disapearring for programs stored on microSD card. Could it have something to do with the Kaiser moving the shortcut files from the Programs, folder when you assign it to Start Menu???

I tried creating my own shortcuts under windows with the same results. So you are saying you are having the same problem?
I am just curious what type of SD card are you using?
I am using a Sandisk 1GB Ultra II microSD.

I've been having dropped call problems with my MDA (another story) and in the process of working on that, T mobile sent me a new phone. Now, I've got most of my original programs working on the new phone but for some reason, I can't get the phone to recognize TCPMP. It's on my storage card and I can access and run it from the storage card, but there is no icon under Program Files anymore. I'm sure the fix is so simple, I just can't see it. Any ideas?
Thx,
April
You either need to reinstall it so it apprears in your program list, or just create a shortcut teh the file on your SD card and place the shortcut in your \windows\start menu\programs folder
There're instructions for creating shortcuts floating around here. I'msure you can find them with a little searching.

I suppose you didn't reinstall your TCPMP... If you want to have your Core Player back into your Programs list again, put a shortcut at /Windows/Start Menu/Programs
The first thing I tried to do was reinstall TCPMP but I guess the site was down. Couldn't access even the first page. I'll try the start menu option next. Thx for the replies.
Quick update... I successfully added the icon back to the start menu. Thanks for your help!
I have a weird problem with my kaiser. I have my navigation applications e.g. Garmin Que, Mapking installed in my Storage Card.
Then in the Menu, I have those applications as shortcuts. The problem is, the icons of those application do not appear correctly in the Windows Start->Menu list. They appear as unknown application.
what cause the problem? is it because I am using 2GB storage card which is too big? or the device load too fast and not able to find the icon images?
anyone...please...
I have the same problem.
You just need to access the card once for the shortcuts icons to show up in the start menu. I usually fire up the File Explorer and navigate to the storage card.
Hope this helps,
E.

Perhaps a stupid question but ...
If you swap from one SD to another it usually shows the first one ever used as StorageCard and the second one as StorageCard2 (guess something like a digital signature like other OS's do) and so on.
So far so good but the registry has links only to installed programs to "StorageCard". Is there a way to either CHANGE the name of additional storage cards that it remains "StorageCard" or an easy way to change ALL setting in the reg at once.
Sure, premises are that all programs exist on each SD card in the right directory structure.
try to use pocket mechanic to flag properties of old and new card
i have no experience just a suggestion

I recently had a problem that may help you out... For some unknown reason, my one and only "StorageCard" suddenly became "StorageCard2". So, I had a "StorageCard" directory that was empty and all my stuff in "StorageCard2".
Long story short, I removed the card, did a soft reset, deleted the "StorageCard" directory with File Explorer, powered off the Tilt, inserted the card and powered it back up. After all that, I had my "StorageCard" back.
Unless there's a script or utility floating around here, you may have to go thru a similar procedure when you want to swap cards.
Note that the "Phantom Storage Card" problem often comes from saving mail attachments to the storage card or having other applications write data to the card while running. The phone cannot release the card when it's removed (no "safely remove" option a la desktop windows), so you end up with a directory in main memory.
If you're encountering this problem frequently and have room in main memory, disabling those options and storing things in main memory often avoids the problem altogether.

Thanks... I thought my problem was related to mail. When it happened to me, the only thing in my "StorageCard" directory was mail. I suspect that I had done a soft reset and my Tilt processed some incoming mail (Exchange) before the storage card was ready to go.
I have the newest Hyperdragon rom installed annd I can figure out how to add programs to the programs tab from a memory card. When I tap the plus sign and come to the selection screen there is no choices from the memory card. Memory card is plugged in. Thank you for your help

try putting shortcut to the program under windows/start menu/programs and see if that makes it show up under program selection.
Thank you that totally worked.
Hi All, i have a question about the micro SD card in my TD2 i have which is 4gig, i have ordered a 16gig SD card as ive run out of space with the apps i currently have installed on my current card. I guess what im asking is how do i go about moving all the data from my current card to my new one when it arrives. Do i use sprite backup tool and will this backup everything as most of my apps are installed on the SD Card, or do i copy everything via windows?......
If someone can shed some light on this for me that would be great
Just wondering if there is an app so when i rotate my screen on my TD2 to landscape that the keyboard automatically appears without having to press the keyboard button everytime, I would prefer the keyboard to appear in landscape and portrait without the need to press the keyboard button. Does anyone know of an app that will allow this?
Just copy contents through Windows.
Leave the structure intact if you have programs installed to SD card and it will be flawless.
You can turn on Auto Deploy in the registry.
I think its in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell...... but search registry for autodeploy and you'll find it.
Otherwise search for Advanced Config which has a setting for this
