Activesync to 8gb microsd - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

before anyone says it... i have searched the forums and cant find a registry hack to do this. all i can find is advoce such as , get Mobsynch or another programme. I dont want to do this.
has anyone got any better ideas?
cheers

What's your problem with it? Are you trying to sync everything to your mem card?

sync to card
yep- i need to be able to synch all my work desktop to my card

I have 8Gb card, and have no problems syncing with it,
I use vista though, well, server 2008 with mobile device center.

Just moving this thread to the Kaiser regular forum as it does not have a development aspect.
Mike

no help!
i'm sure this was possible on the tytn.
just need active sync to sync desktop file to my sd card. how do i do this. there must be a registry hack.

SSH Client for Tilt & General File Installation Question

Hi Guys,
I am a bit of a newbie (just got the phone yesterday), so I have a few basic questions -- please bare with me.
1) Has anyone setup an SSH client on their HTC Kaiser/AT&T Tilt? If so what is a good client to get? Is PuTTYPocket good or one of the clients from the OpenSSH project? Is there a preferred one or one that's known to work better?
2) Second item is.. where do most people choose to install all of there files and applications? For example, right now I have a 1 GB MicroSD card in the phone. Are there certain things I should try and save/install directly to the phone and others that should go on the MicroSD card? Should everything go on the MicroSD card?
3) Is a 1GB MicroSD card enough? Obviously if I want lots of little movies or mp3 files I will run into a limit -- but that aside.. say if I choose to put on the SSH client, some other apps, TomTom 6.0 etc. Do I need more?
Thanks for any assistance.
-Steven
I'm interested in these questions as well. This is my first Windows Mobile device and it is unclear if some applications "need" to be on the device storage as it is on PalmOS. Are there pros/cons to device storage vs. memory card? Maybe there is an "idiot's guide to storage on WM" out there...
As for SSH, I've downloaded several and tested them a bit, but have not made a decision yet. Thus far, I've tried pocketputty, zaTelnet Pro, MobileVT, and mToken, with pocketputty being the worst, mToken the best, and the others about the same. I'm not as happy with any of them as the application pssh I was using on Palm, however.
usually programs that kind of directly deal with the phone and are accessed alot. go on the phone.
tomtom which has large files for maps stick on the memory card.
cant help you with the other ques.
I use and like PocketTTY, but there is also a java script that works nice. I'll attach and believe it's freeware, if not, a mod can delete.
As far as where to put programs, that is of course, subjective. For me it depends on how much memory the device has, how big a card you have and how much space is needed for the programs you wish. Also, what all do you wish to have with you? Music, video, games, etc....that has to be taken into consideration. Being this is the Kaiser/Tilt section, we have 128mb for storage with a little more than 100mb for personal programs, and capacity for up to 8gb on the card. On my 8525 I had everything on a 2gb card and left as much room on the PDA as I could. This time I think I'll put all the programs on the PDA and use the card for everything else. We'll see how it goes.

SharedSD as StorageCard in WinMo?

We can use Vista\XP-SharedSDcard as Network folder in WinMo via VM_Network_Browser+Network_Folder.
May by you know some program for WinMo that can emulate this SDcard (or Network folder) as StorageCard for WinMo?
Have asked the same thing, searched, but failed
Although more or less similar options have been descibed at this forum, I'm also still look "exactly" for what you are asking.
Reason : TomTom and some Aviation Software that I run won't run unless they see something like \Storage Card (in whatever language)
We need to emulate the drive from Vista to WinMo, connecting isn't a problem... we know, it's the emulation that is need for the reason above.
The software isn't available for Vista, so I don't care the power drain of running vista, JUST for the SD card.
So connecting it as a network folder won't help, anyone with a trick to fool WinMo into thinking it's the local SD card ?

Hi mate did you find anything for this, agree with you tomtom needs to see a folder called \storage card for it to work.
SD card access still strongly desired!!
I too am also looking for access to the SD card so that I can load up my WM side with many many programs!
thought i nearly had it....
on my x1 with tomtom7 installed there is a file in navigator folder called currentmap
when i open this file in notepad i got map location @ \stoarge card
so what i thought i could do is just change that to network\ storage card etc etc
but it did not work..............
never mind hey

Setting to make Kaiser work like a flash disk

Hey guys
Anyways I want to know if it is possible to change a setting somewhere to get my Kaiser to work like a flash disk, at the moment I have an 8 gig memory card in it and it takes forever to copy files to and from it, you also need to have Active Sync or Windows Mobile Manager installed on the PC to be able to do so...
All I want to have is, when I plug my Kaiser in, a REMOVABLE STORAGE link appears on my Desktop and it works like a flash disk will... I also have a problem when doing it through ActiveSync that when copying files FROM the phone to desktop or wherever, the files doesnt copy or appear on the PC... I've read on the net that you can find it in your PC's TEMP folder but I cant find it and this is not how it is suppose to work...
Any help would be apreciated
Thanks in advance.
search some more and you will find the following facts (which i am listing here because i am in a good mood, but you should still search because you will find more details that way):
1. a program (not free, i.e. commercial) called "card export" will allow you to do what you desire in terms of exposing your microsd card as removable storage when you connect to your PC via usb...see point 4 below also
2. another program called "wm5torage" MIGHT work depending on which version of wm5torage you try and which particular ROM you try it on. its a bit of a hit and miss affair, though. in my experience, wm5torage worked only ONCE, and i was using winmo6.0 back then...it has NEVER worked for me on winmo6.1 or winmo6.5 ROMs...see point 4 below also
3. newer devices from htc are able to do what you desire out-of-the-box. this is because these devices contain the necessary drivers to enable the functionality but, sadly, these drivers were never shipped with the kaiser and no one has (yet) found a way to hack the drivers of newer devices to work with the kaiser.
4. WHATEVER mechanism you try, it WILL BE SLOW. this is because the kaiser has a usb2.0 COMPLIANT interface. the "compliant" term essentially means that the device can WORK on a usb2.0 interface but not at full usb2.0 SPEED.
5. activesync will always work to PUT files on the kaiser. GETTING files FROM the kaiser is "buggy" with activesync. as a workaround to activesync, i use "schaps htc network plugin" on my kaiser. what this wonderful little piece of kit does is that it will allow you to map folders that point to one or more "network drives". if you set up a shared folder (with FULL ACCESS to "Everyone") on your desktop/laptop, you can use the network plugin to map a folder (usually under "\Network") and then you can freely read/write files using any file manager on your kaiser over WIFI as well as over activesync. so when i want to retrieve something from my kaiser, i establish an activesync or wifi connection and then i browse the shared folder from the kaiser and dump whatever i want on to the desktop/laptop's shared folder.
6. another alternative is to use the remote desktop application. this will let you access your desktop's/laptop's desktop remotely (over wifi as well as over activesync) from your kaiser. in the "Options" of the remote desktop application, you will find a setting under the "Resources" tab called "Device storage"...setting this option to "Map to the remote machine" will make your device's "\" folder (including the "\Storage Card" folder) available to your desktop/laptop in "My Computer". the catch is that you will have to use your desktop's/laptop's desktop on the tiny QVGA screen of your kaiser.
7. LUCKY SEVEN is the BEST OPTION in my opinion. simply buy a cheap microsd card reader and when you need to use your microsd card as a usb drive, simply pop out the card from the kaiser, slide it into the card reader, and you'll have a fully functional 8GB usb flash drive. desktop windows won't know the difference and the speed is phenomenal! as a benchmark, it takes about 10 minutes to copy about 200MB using activesync. the card reader will do the same operation in under a minute! it seems htc has designed the kaiser's microsd card slot to be "hot swappable" but i recommend closing all file browsers and any programs running from your microsd card or any programs accessing files/data from your microsd card before removing the card from the kaiser. also recommended is to turn off any and all power saving options set for your microsd card slot on your kaiser.
good luck!
Thank you very much good sir.

I second Card Export, i've tried so many different options for my Kaiser and it was the only program/option that was able to do this.

[Q] Cant see SD card as storage on my computer

I need some help here. Just bought a HTC HD7 but I cant see the SD card on my computer so I can import/export files.The card shows in Zune but Zune wont transfer files except music/video/pictures
Can anyone help me with this issue? I really appreciate it
That's the way it is with WP7, sorry. Not limited to the HD7.
You essentially have two primary options.
1. jailbreak/root your phone.
2. use cloud storage such as SkyDrive for non media documents. You get 25 gigs of storage with your live account, but unfortunately at this time individual files are limited to 50 megs.
ebooks for example, I use DropBox for cloud storage and the Freda ereader, which can connect to dropbox accounts.
You have another option for office docs and that is a sharepoint site.
Storage issues
Hi Jimbonics and thanks for your fast reply. Maybe is not the right site to ask however how do I jailbreak/root my phone? Is there a website to show u step by step or at least some instructions?
Thanks again for your help
You can follow the advice of whynot2007 in this post. Even though it refers to PDF's, it gets you access to your SD card. I've never done it, so....

Thanks a lot. I will try it

[Q] Can't see SD Card

Hi
Just a quick question. Running WM7 on HTC HD2 but I can't see my SD card or any settings to get to it.
Is there any obvious setting I've missed.
You won't see it as such as it's effectively incorporated into the WP7 file system. You can tweak your PC's registry to make the device appear in Windows Explorer, which gives you limited access to folders, but you really need to use Zune or email to put files onto the device - the card doesn't work quite like it used to in terms of portable storage.
I understand schapps is working on a WP7 'Device Centre' that may help with some aspects of this - should be released following the forthcoming WP7 update.
Thanks for info.
After install I only have 64MB of data storage left. Therefore I can't install aps or take pic's etc so looks like Android for me then.
Hi,
I had the same problem few days agot...
I tried two of my sd cards, and it didn't work, so I bought a new one, and re install my hd2, then it worked...
You can try to reformat the card with SDFormatter, maybe it could help!
But you have to hard reset your phone when you change your sd card.
