Where does Pocket informant save all the data? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I have installed Pocket Informant on my memory card but somehow it saves all my daily notes somwhere in phone memory. Last time I carried out the hard reset I lost all my daily notes. How can I make it save all daily notes on my memory card instead of phone memory or can someone help me to locate the file in which Pocket informat saves all its data so I can back it up?

They are saved in My Documents in the phone memory - not on the card.

AFAIK Pocket Informant shares data with Windows Mobile (contact, task, calendar). Just save your notes to storage card.
Regarding the setting of PI, it's located on Main Memory \Application Data\WebIS.

Thanks dgduris but can you give me the name of the file in which data is saved. I'm trying to find it in my documents folder but nothing looks like a file created by Pocket Informant.
@cayotte That's the problem I can't make it save the daily notes in the memory card. I've tried to find something in PI options but there was nothing there.
"Regarding the setting of PI, it's located on Main Memory \Application Data\WebIS"
Ok but do you mean that only "settings" is saved in that folder?
And there's a difference between normal notes and Pocket Informant daily notes. I can save normal notes in my memory card but can't do the same with daily notes(I can view them only in Pocket Informant).

Cayotte is right in that PI shares PIM data with WM.
And AFAIK, PI (from version 8 onwards) stores settings in the registry and no longer in a settings file in \Application Data\WebIS.
As for the loss of the daily notes, can't help u there, I'm afraid. I did encounter this problem when I was using PI version 7, following some unrelated hard resets.
I didn't have the chance to test this with PI8 yet (fingers crossed).
Maybe you can try the forums at pocketinformant.com?

Onenote Mobile - where do the notes live?

I just flashed my Kaiser to Dutty and as a result it's wiped my Onenote Mobile notes (no great surprise there).
Before I flashed, I took a Sprite Backup. Does anyone know where the actual "notes" live? Is in a directory or registry entry somewhere? I'd like to restore them if possible. I have searched XDA Devs, but there's nothing I can see explaining this.
Thanks in advance...
\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile.
I've been looking for a way to move them to another folder but I cannot find it.
Ta,
Dave
Thank You!
Thanks very much for this solution. I copied from the backup and I can see all my notes again.
You just saved me a lot of frustration
I love this forum. Every time I have some obscure question, someone has already asked it and, usually, someone else has answered it perfectly!
Thank you!
amazing
Amazing, I was asking myself this same question this afternoon on the way to school. You guys are amazing!
Thank you! Been flashing new ROMs and needed to back up my notes... this forum rocks!

But how to make OneNote store to SD?
Haven't figured that out yet either...still working
I think it's Pocket Mechanic that has the option to move applications to run from storage card...I've successfully moved most everything I've tried with it. Has anyone tried 'moving' folder to storage card with this app? I'm not sure how it works...if it leaves a shortcut behind pointing to new location on card maybe? I use OneNote for work, and can't afford to screw it up and have down time trying to fix, so wondering if anyone has tried that route yet?
UPDATE: Tried above method, and it did not work. Has anyone else found a feasible way to do this yet? With it storing audio recordings in .wav format, it's basically not usable without being able to store to storage card. I run out of memory in less than one minute.
The frustration continues
Hi everybody,
I have been grappling with this damned issue with OneNote 2007 on my HD2 forever. It’d be nice if some of the top dogs here at the XDA took a minute or two out of their busy schedules to fix us up with a way to force OneNote to SD card. I mean come on people, don’t you leave us at the mercy of windows unpredictable array of hangs, crashes and total system annihilations, give us a way out.
I have personally wormed around the registry and found a way for that whole attachment thing JVolger. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>OneNote Mobile>12.0.
Once there edit the attachments String value with your favorite registry editor and change the string entry with the address of the folder where you like one note to save your attachments.
Now if someone could figure out a way to force one note to save to the SD entirely, I would be one happy man!!

how to sync files to memory card

does anyone know how to do this? i guess normally with windows mobile and active sync it syncs files to "my documents" folder on the device, which is organized in a practical way with all of the folders you'd need to organize all of your files but with the onboard storage space you'd be lucky to be able to store a small ammount of music. I guess i have around 100mb of storage on my phone and 8gigs on my microsd card which i'd rather use for syncing files. i tried cutting and pasting the documents folder on my phone to my card, but active sync just recreates this folder on my phone and won't let me sync any file(s) larger than the small size that is allowed on my phone. anyone know how to get active sync to sync files to a folder on your memory card? thanks. btw, if it matters i have a tilt with the shipped rom.
Personally all I do is open "my mobile device" in My Computer select the right folder I want to store to on the memory card and simply drag and drop
you can use a tool named "mobsync".
i think it would fit perfect to your needs.
The newest Version of mobsync is commercial, but you can find older versions on the internet, which are freeware.

Disappearing folder contents

Hi guys!
Ive had this happen once or twice before.
I have the following folder route:
Storage Card/Backup/PIM
Storage Card/Backup/ SPB Finance
Storage Card/Backup/SPB Pocket Plus
Suddenly the contents of a folder will disappear !
Browsing to the folder via explorer will s how an empty folder, using the application to find the file will also show nothing.
This first happened with the folder SPB Finance. Suddenly all my backup were gone and never returned. So I began backing up to SPB Pocket PLUS folder.
But now all 3 folders are empty!
In PIM folder, I used to see my PIM backups, but now browsing to it will show an empty folder. If I open up PIM to restore to a file in there, the folder PIM wont open.
Same with SPB Finance, if I restore to a file created earlier, it wont be there. I backedup to the folder today,and finance said successfully backed up, but browsing to the folder shows nothing, even when I try to restore to the file I just created, it shows nothing!
Ill be able to open Storage Card then Backup, but PIM folder wont open (the little plus sign doesnt change to minus).
This is very alarming!
As far as I know, I can only say its happened in the Backup folder as its the one I access the most to restore and backup to. It could be happening in other folders but I have not discovered it yet.

have you tried another sd card? sound like your current one is going bad.
The issue is its happened before, on another sd card, thats why I manually migrated all my data to this current one thats also acting unreliable.
This has happened to me before, with some files missing then the entire content on micro SD card gone, but still showing 2gb of storage space used.
I did some searching on google and basically there are softwares out there that you can use to recover the files that are now missing, but I tried and it's quite troublesome and not entirely successful.
Sometimes could be that your SD card is faulty, but most of the time is just your device that is not reading the card properly.
My advice to you, which was what I did:
1) plug your SD card on one those card readers and do a thorough format of the drive.
2) Do a hard-reset or a Clear Storage of your phone.
3) re-install everything.
4) After you're done re-installing, use SPB Backup and do a backup of your phone's memory and storage card.
The only reason I've done the backup was in case my SD card was faulty then I wouldn't have to reinstall everything again after purchasing a new card.
But so far, a long time has passed and the formatted SD card is working fine. No missing files or folders.
Same thing happens to me. The other day the voices for TomTom just disappeared! I keep a backup of the card, so I just copied them across. I'm not sure what the real cause is but the idea of re-formatting the card sounds good. I'm not looking forward to a hard reset but that may be needed too. No help I'm afraid but at least you're not alone. Maybe someone knows the real cause.
Storage Card missing file fixed
I had the same issue.
Where after a reinstall I found several folders and files missing from my storage card.
It happened more than once, and this fixed it when I saw the problem.
Here is what I did to get the files back.
If files seems missing from the Storaga card
to show the files again
Copy a file with the same name of an already existing file (one of those who disappeared) on the storage card in the storage card root folder. (myChannels.opml or zz.txt)
When the file is copied all the other files and folders will show.
The file copied could be showed stored in a 8.3 file name format (old DOS file.ext), and you might not be able to delete it.
I think the issue might be related to invalid file names (or an invalid long file names) in the storage card.
If you did not have this probllem I suggest you put a short text file on the storage card root folder so that you can use this trick to restore the folders and files if you experience the problem.
I've had the same issue but I noticed that reconnecting to ActiveSync solves it. The files dissappeared after using my Tilt as a guest on a second computer and I've had it happen a few times. Returning to my main computer and syncing restores them every time though...
My Tilt just started doing this too. I usually notice either my Storage Card/Program Files/Egree Files in the directory missing or the Data files for Egress on the storage card missing. I also recently flashed to L26 KaiserTouch V1M2D.
After a reset the files will show up again.
I'm not sure if Egress or the new Rom causing this. Very odd and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.
OK it happened again and I could not fix it.
This time I reformatted the card

thats wierd, my Tilt's tomtom maps mistiriously vanished today and last friday I swiched from landscape to portrate and it went black, I use wisbar advanced desktop and what caused it to go black was that my skin which was stored on the card mistiriously vanished. I think its time to backup my pictures and videos before they vanish.
Fix is here
Yea, this happens to me all the time. Sometimes a directory go missing, sometimes entire card looks blank. When use PC to read the card, the directory also seems to be blank... It's very annoying! It becomes even worse after I change to a 8G card (from 4G)...
Lucky, after some google I found following solution seems to work. at least I didnt have any of this problem for 2 weeks after apply this. (It was once almost every week. I end up having a backup for SD card)
Just modify following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class\High_Capacity\BlockTransferSize
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class\BlockTransferSize
Change original 64 (on my HTC WM6.1 tilt) to 32 (dec) or smaller value.
Smaller value=better reliability=slower card access
This key means the number of data 'blocks' transferred during one transaction. Larger value means "more data blocks get transferred during one transaction". Larger cards have larger block (a.k.a sector) that means more data per block. This exacerbate the data loss which caused the folder content missing..
Please be noted it's recommended to backup your phone before registry hack. I will not responsible for any data loss or malfunction caused by doing those registry hack. If you do not know what registry edit works then I recommend not doing it since it can render your device not usable unless applying a hard reset (which lose all your data!)
Please let us know how it works for you.

Is there such an app? Direct all to storage card?

Hello all,
It was suggested to me to post this question here.
I am looking for a way to basically poing any and all possible to the storage card. I think I remember a couple years back finding one for my Hermes here at XDA-Developers.com but now I can't seem to locate it??
I would like it if someone knows how to or an app to do this if they could let me know. I think I remember the other one being a .cab that directed everything to the card.
Does this make sense to anyone?
PS: I know on the camera app you can select the device or the card.
Make it little clear
do you want to receive files(say songs etc) through bluetooth and get them stored in memory card and want to place inbox in memory card ?
chand
the moon
Well what I was thinking was I would like any and all files to be stored on the card.
For instance, when active-sync creates a short cut on the desktop (pc) for files to be sync'd there is a list of folders... If I click "Explore" in AS it opens to files on my device. Now if I follow it correctly, all the files in the (pc) desktop shortcut leads to the folders in the "My Docs" on the device.
The last sentenance is what I would like to change, I would like for any and all files besides apps or system files to be stored on the card.
Meaning, no "My docs" on the device memory, just the card.
Is there a way in the registry or something else to change the path for said folders to be redirected to the memory card?
I don't think there is an app that will do this
SKTools has a "move file" option that says it will move the file and update information in the registry, but its not clear if this applies to folders
Now, you could try using a registry editor with find-replace to find all instances of "/My Documents" and change it to something like "/Storage Card/My Documents", then soft reset and see if that works -- I can't seem to find a registry editor that does find and replace like this -- anyone?
Advanced Config Tool (attached) will allow you to specify default locations for directories.

need to free up some main memory space

during the past few days, the diamond has been telling me that space in the main memory is going low. i go and see that there is only about 1.6 mb left. i usually install programs in the 4gb memory so i don't think those are programs. does opera leave cookies and other browser data in the main memory? what else should i delete to free up space?
Memory eater...

Opera eats LOADS of storage memory, as does Google Maps and lots of other stuff. There are a number of free apps available to clean up your device, but I find the best way is to just soft-reset. All the TEMP stuff is cleared away, and the device is free to run again!
Search the 'Themes, Applications and Software' forum for 'Clear Temp', or 'Clear RAM'... something like that!?
Free Memory on HTC Diamond
I had the same problem and it was my Outlook Mail. I synch with the office and had thousands of emails in my In and Outboxes. Delete from your outlook account on your PC/Laptopn and then resynch. You may need to delete from your device as there may not be enough room left to perform a synch.
Hope that helps
the first thing i did was a soft reset via the red button on the back but the remaining memory stayed the same. also i don't have al ot of email in my inbox. they are usually all deleted
i've been having this problem too, and now my touchflo won't even start up, and the phone has become really really slow. it takes ten minutes to just load a text to read. and right now i can't call anyone and they can't call me....if i do a soft reset, will my contacts be lost?
soft reset is a simple reset, your contacts won't be deleye, but if you do a hard reset, you loose all contacts, setting...
ok thanks, i'll try a soft reset and see what happens. i havent found an answer to my problems using the google search for this site though....
i can't even connect with active sync
Here are some tips:
1. Opera. Press the button at the bottom right and go into "Settings". Then "Privacy", then "Delete Cache". Sometimes the clear temp programs don't find the memory that Opera stores unless you have set them up correctly.
2. Use file explorer to see if you can go into the My Device/My Documents/My Pictures and see if there are any pictures you don't mind deleting. Also, while you are there also check My Music, and My Videos folders. Delete anything you don't want or relocate them into Internal Storage.
3. You can check to see if your Outlook (e-mails, contacts, calendar etc) has too much data. Check this on My Device using File Explorer. You can see a file called pim.vol. I have 2000 calendar appointments, 400 contacts and no e-mails/sms' and mine is 5.25MB in size. I think this is about right. If you have a silly amount of memory in this, then you do have something in Outlook you could delete....
4. Use a program like MemMaid, SKTools or Clear Temp to clean up bad links, registry etc.
5. Google Maps may take up 2MB or so. I think it is limited to around this amount.
6. Use Pocket Mechanic or similar to relocate installed programs to Internal Storage. Note though that some programs still will keep some files on the device memory so you cannot free up all of the memory.
7. Use MemMaid to check to see where all your storage has gone. This has a very good application to show you exactly where it is and also linked to the file explorer so it is easy to go to the offending file and delete it.
8. It is better to back up your phone first just incase you delete anything you shouldn't have.....
9. Flash a new ROM. I use Cloudy's 1.1 one. It is great. He has made two and they both leave you with a lot of free memory. I have many installed programs (mostly on Internal Storage) and I still have over 50MB of free ROM and RAM....
10. Use Diamond Tweak to disable the HTC dialer and use the Windows Dialer instead. I think this will save you about 2MB or RAM. It may not look quite as nice, but you can tart it up a bit with a new dialer skin....
Good luck
