Hi, this is my first post and ive really really tried finding a guide or something to help me. So, here is my question which is probably asked a thousand times already. IM SORRY if im asking them again. If there is a newbie guide please let me know since i dont really know anything about this stuff AT ALL.
What do i have to do to make games and emulators work on my diamond, and what format does the video files have to be in? One more thing, it seems i cant connect to activesync with my diamond, the computer detects the phone and i can enter through my computer but it seems activesync doesnt detect it...any solutions??
AGAIN, im sorry if this is the 477 time someone posted something like this
never mind...i got it to work....it was my damn computer. Thx for at least reading my post
Hello there
As this is my first post here, allow me to thank you all for a great forum, with loads of help and interesting applications. You've certanly made my life better
I've searched for this but had no luck in finding anything similar, so please excuse me if there is an old thread outthere, and help me find it.
My problem is that I've primarily used Active sync to connect to my PC and have transferred much music, programs and other stuff through this channel.
Now I have become interested in using my Diamond as a usb pen drive for my car radio etc. and also want to use it to move files from place to place.
I change the usb connection type to Disk Drive, and connect the wire to the PC, and let it install drivers so that I can access the disk drive it detects.
But then I loose access to the 4 GB memory, and can only access the internal memory of the device. Neither from the phone itself, or from the PC.
I know it have worked previously, because I have tried it some time ago. But now it seems like it's broken down.
When I look at fileexplorer on the phone, the name of the folder just disappears as soon as the cable is attached!
What is wrong, and how do I fix it?
Needless to say the phone freaks out after this, since all my applications are installed on the extended memory, so nothing works anymore, but a soft reset and it's all back to normal. Untill I try the connection again :-/
As mentioned, there is no problem with Active sync connections.
I really hope you can help me with this, because it would make the phone even more useful to me.
That being said I DO love the phone, it really has the ability to do almost anything I'd like it to. Incredible!
Thank you in advance for your help, and for at great source of knowledge.
Best regards
Thomas Hansen
It's normal, the phones switchs the memory readable directly from PC, as a pen drive to gain more speed.
If u are using the USB Disk function, u can't read the memory in the phone, bcuz u don't have "inserted" into it...
Bye!

Thank you for you answer, but I probably wasn't clear enough about the problem:
The 4 GB flash memory is inaccessable from both PC and phone after I plug in the usb cable (it disappears), but I CAN access the "system memory" (where windows is installed) from both ends.
So no, I dont think that is what I am experiencing. I hope this made it more clear.
How do I fix my problem?
Thank you for your help though.

sounds like the 1st free drive letter on your system is reserved for a network path.
try to disconnect the network drive or map the USB Drive manually.

Draque
ps: Try it on a complete different system if this doesnt work.
I had tried it on 4 different PCs, all running XP.
Have no network drives on this one.
But, I'm confused now...
Because now it works correctly...
It opens the correct folder, for the 4 GB storage card...
And the phone doesnt crash afterwards...
I suspect an "Insufficient User IQ" kind of error... I just don't know what I did wrong?
If I learn more about this wierd issue I will post it here, and if you have any info, please post it, because I dont know what went wrong...
But right now my problem is solved! Hope it stays like this!
Well, Thank you for your advise everybody.
Best regards

Hi all,
I am looking for a a way to browse the contents of my Kaiser (file explorer) through a USB connection to my PC WITHOUT having to install ActiveSync. Is it even possible?
I've searched the forum, browsed the stickies but I can't seem to find an answer.

Nope, as far as I am aware, activesync is needed.
If you do not have the disk, you can download the software here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync45.mspx
There are a couple of apps that can do this. I think one of them might be called "card export", but don't hold me to it...
yes, there is.
you can use wm5torage v1.8, but you need to make some trials with Menu--> troubleshooting options before activiate wm5storage.
On success you will browse your SD card on your PC.
see attachments
@chrisrc1985: I'm not that hopeless of a n00b Thanks for the activesync download link, but I definitely do not want to install it on my very public PC at work!
@dancj: Card Export is what I'm looking for, only problem is, it's not freeware
@dool2002: Cool, I'll give wm5torage a try but it looks like it's very iffy and not very stable.
Anyway, thanks for your replies guys; appreciate it!
WM5torage usually doesn't work on the Kaiser. CardExport does. But remember this only lets you browse the storage card and not the internal phone memory.
Another option is to use Mocha FTP server, and to browse your phone through the network with an FTP client. This allows to view the phone memory as well. However it would only be over wifi/bluetooth for you, as USB still requires ActiveSync to be installed to add the USB network drivers.
Thanks for the heads up about WM5torage, guess I won't bother trying to fiddle with it...
As for CardExport, I tried the evaluation version and it is exactly what I need! Now the only thing left to do is find a freeware that does the same...
WM5torage works with me
I used wm5torage few times with Kaiser, it works fine with me when I select both disables from troubleshooting menu. I copy around 300 meg with it without any mentioned problems.
If you guys know a bug in it, please let me know.
Well I installed WM5torage to try it out (and did a soft reset after the install). When I clic on the disables in the troubleshoot menu, nothing happens, I mean how do I know that the actual options have been disabled? And how do I re-enable them?!
Anyways, when I activate it and plug my phone in, my PC detects a new storage device called WM5torag (without the 'e'), installs drivers for it, then... nothing! It doesn't appear in my windows explorer.
If it's of any relevance, I am running my Kaiser under the HTC WM6.1 official ROM.

Many people are having problems with it, and the only semi-working version actually requires some files ripped from CardExport. It seems it sometimes works on certain ROMs, but like many others (mainly under WM6.1 I think) I have no luck with my configuration. I'm getting the common explorer freeze with subsequent "please insert a disk in drive X:" message when trying to access the drive, and the Kaiser freezes most of the time as well. Sometimes the drive doesn't even appear on the PC.
WM5torage is worth trying once, if it works for you then you're lucky, if not then don't bother getting mad trying to get it to work as it's very unlikely it will.

"Personal Edition only works over ActiveSync (tethered or via Bluetooth)."
Try nueMassStorage.... it makes your device USB easy to install apps without active sync... but it also gives you the choice to use Active sync if you want to....
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueMassStorage.aspx
And it is free and reliable! Using it on my mogul 6800...
It works the same way as WM5torage, so same has the same problems on the Kaiser, or even worse.
Hi,
I'm trying to solve this problem for a week...
My father is using Elf, another ppc with WM6.1 - there is the funny thing:
in application (settings) USB to PC -
In my Kaiser it is asking for ActiveSync Connection or Internet Sharing.
In father's PDA it is asking for ActiveSync, Inernet Sharing and USB DRIVE.
Does anybody know something about it? I would like to have also three variations of connection i that dialog.
Is it a different version of Usb to PC service?
Thanx a lot!
btw: sorry for my bad english.
I had to much stuff loaded on my phone, so I was running out of memory. I then reset the phone by using the Clear Storage, it worked great. But then I went in and told it to format the Internal Storage, as I forgot to do that part.
Now I have lost my Internal Storage. It is using the Main Program memory for this now, is there ANY way that I can get this back?
Thanks,
Bryan
Recover your internal storage
Same thing happened to me recently.
What you have to do:*Warning* You may lose the info stored in your internal storage.
Connect your phone to your pc with usb cord. Choose the disk drive option on your phone. Your pc should show that you have a usb connection at one of your various drives (e, f, g, etc.). On your pc, open "My Computer" and right click on the usb drive that popped up when your phone was connected. Select Format. *Warning* This may cause your pc to freeze, but don't be alarmed! You may have to try this several times. When this goes through, choose quick format and fat 32. After you get a message saying the drive is formatted, disconnect your phone and soft reset. When your phone comes back on, you should have your internal storage back. Once again you may have to try this several times. Sorry if this is not totally clear, but I am exhausted and will check back to see if you got it.
This also happened to me but I didn't really care about the stuff I lost so I was able to get a "brand new" phone from sprint
solution
the way I got mine to work was by doing a hard reset and by flashing the newest rom from htc. Sprint diamonds happen to have alot of these problems so they have a rom that has a fix for it. Hope this helps!!!
Internal storage

Thanks mass for posting this. I've seen countless posts reporting this problem, but never a solution. Couldn't find answer to this though: To do a ROM upgrade, do you have to go through all the SPL, .ruu, bootloader, super technical stuff that seems to be way over my head? Or, using Opera, can you just click the download link on htc site (couldn't find answer on htc site) ? Thanks much for your post.
Hi,
i think that i can help with this attachment for people whos searching many ways to get working WM5torage on HTC Tytn II.
Just install this cab because this is the one created for tytn II,put serial and you will get your PDA used as a Mass storage device.
Mod edit: Warez is not permitted on forum first and final warning.
It seems you forgot to attach something
Sorry ,here we go.
