Accessing Storage Card through PC

This may be the dumbest question.. but i've tried looking around and nothing came up.. How do i explore my storage/memory card from my computer? I wanna just drag and drop items in.. Cant find an option through active sync

From your PC with the phone connected via Activesync just open My Computer and your phone should be listed there with all your drives. Just click on it and you'll see the storage card.

"explore" your device

It doesnt show up as a drive or anything.. the only thing that shows is the Mobile Device Icon.. which will go in.. but i dont have the option to format..

Ahhhh ... You didn't ask about formatting the storage card in your initial post.
If you want to format the storage card your either going to have to get a card reader for your computer and do it that way or there are PPC programs that allow you to format the storage card that do it from the device itself.
There might be a free program but I'm not sure. I use Resco Explorer 2007 and it allows me to format the card while in the phone.

Try WM5torage (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349143)

to just browse + drag/drop, you can use press on the explore button in the ActiveSync window (shown in the attached image file - disabled because i didn't have the phone connected). that will open the my docs folder on you device, go up a level and you will be in the root that includes "storage card".
for large files though (maps, movies, etc) it is faster to take the card out of the device and use a card reader to make it a flash memory.

Sorry for my ignorance, but my ELF stopped synchronizing so is there a way I can explore the memory card that was in my ELF by introducing it directly into my computer?

Installing Garmin Mobile XT on Diamond

Installation procedure:
a) Start installation of 'GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_42020w.e xe' from PC through ActiveSync. Select your Storage Card as destination. During the installation, files will be copied to your storage card. The files should appear in '\Storage Card\Garmin\Apps\WM'.
b) Install 'GarminMobileXTSupportFiles_4xxxx.exe' for voice files.
c) Install 'GarminMobileXTFreeBasemap_4xxxx.exe' for Garmin's base map.

I have got the above instructions from a different site, but since the Diamond does not have a Storage Card, where I am supposed to install the Garmin app?
I have tried installing to the 4GB internal storage but it's not showing up during the installation as a storage destination. If it's not an option, will it eat up a lot of my valuable storage if I install to the phone default storage?
Also are there any alternative FREE GPS navigation software available for WM6 that worth checking out? This is my first GPS enabled mobile phone and I am anxious to try it out.
I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I have tried to search for an answer to this but not found any.

You install it to "Internal Storage" but that will be obvious because this is the only choice the garminxt install will give you.
I've been playing with GarminXT and so far I prefere it over TomTom.

So how memory would I have left with after installing the main application, the support files and the maps ? I wish if there a way to install to 4GB internal storage instead if using the default phone storage.

Internal storage is the 4GB. Depending on the maps you have... I have a full install of worldwide base + support files + detailed Canada takes up about 200mb... where I have TomTom I can't just chose detailed canada its all of NA or nothing and it takes up 1.4GB.

Go to Device Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Once you are inside here, select "Disk Drive (Faster File Transfer)" and also "Ask about connection type when I connect"
This way, when you connect your device to the PC, you can choose wether to enable ActiveSync or Disk mode.
For this specific case, to install Garmin, choose "Disk mode"...this emulates a removable storage on your PC, and then Garmin will detect this.
This is how I've done it, and worked 100%.

Thank you for this tip. This is what I was looking for. Will try it out once I am back home.

Ok I have managed to get Garmin successfully installed in my Diamond However when I installed the files using the 'disk mode' option, I had to disconnect the the USB cable to complete the software installation in my phone as it did not prompt me for any additional steps in the phone when the USB cable is still connected.
Anyways, thank you all for your assistance. I am glad to have found this resourceful forum.

When the phone is in disk mode the phone itself is not able to see the internal memory. This prevents you from possible locking of files by the phone while trying to manipulate via PC.
Activesync works just as fast as disk mode, it is the phone's usb speed that makes the difference with the diamond.

oke Garmin is installed. But I like to install the maps. But have some problem with the devicecode

In Garmin go to settings / about - you will see your Card ID number (internal storage) if it's what you are looking for ... other device IDs are also listed.

THANKS I will try if it's works

I have a problem with my Garmin (last version, with Western Europe map NT2008 and basemap)...
The map is very slow, and very inacurate
Any ideias why, and how I can fix it?

try disabling touchflo 3d report back if that increase sperformance.

Ok, probably an easy one this, but I've installed Mobile XT on my diamond but when I fire it up it tries to look for a bluetooth GPS reciever. How do I tell it to use the built in unit on the diamond?? Thanks

Settings - System
Remote GPS
Hit Enable
Hopefully that should work

Enable?
I have the same problem
Could you be a little more precise about "Hit Enable"?
I don't have that setting under Settings-System in-Remote GPS
And shouldn't it be a setting somewhere inside the Garmin application since there is no problem using Tomtom with the internal GPS?
But in Garmin I can´t find anywhere to change GPS-settings and when I go into the settings about gps in Garmin it starts looking for a bluetooth gps right away with no possibillity to change.

When I said - SETTINGS, SYSTEM
I meant the ones in the GARMIN APPLICATION!

When I go to Settings-System the number one choice there is External GPS and when I click that I get the message "Only connections to Garmin GPS-unit is allowed" ???

You need to unlock your GPS or rather the Garmin XT software for it to work with your internal GPS. You do this by using JetMouse Keygen 1.3 (or 1.5) and pasting the generated code based on your Device ID (explained in a previous post where to find that) into a txt file called sw.unl (note pls make sure that the .txt extension is changed to .unl) to be placed into your garmin folder. For JM just google for it.

OK Thanks.
I suppose if I had been more patient and read all of the threads more thorough, I should have discovered that.
When I saw your answer I recognized it but couldn't make the connection to my problem.
Sorry all, for repeating things that I most certainly should have been able to have found in earlier threads, but never the less many thanks for the input.

How do I get Tilt to act like a portable flash drive?

Is there away I can swap files between my 8925 and pc via the USB/mini USB cable?

No, what he mean is using it as an external hard disk. There is a program call WM5torage, free, on DX... but it doesn't work for everybody. but me I'm using this instead: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12141

got it from
http://freewareppc.com/communication/wm5torage.shtml
pc wants me to reboot after finding drive. I have been wanting something like this, perfect for me, I don't like to use active sync at work and it will still charge my battery
Thank you

CardExport is payware.

Card Export is a shareware but it's the best for what you want.
I say that because WM5torage doesn't work very well on Kaiser with WM6 roms; but on my old SPV C600, it used to work well...

Looks like CardExport is what Im looking for. Thanks for the tip.

Does card export need Active Sync installed in the PC?
Thanks.

no
but I'm starting to hate these programs...
After trying the soft, something went wrong and I can't even sync my phone after uninstalling the program. I think either I'll buy the program or stop using it forever.
Now I have to hard reset my phone.... so annoying

I use goodsync + mymobiler/explorer
After trying wm5storage which never work with tilt + wm6 and some issue with cardexport I Started using goodsync which is payware but beauty about this it is installed on Desktop and as soon as I plug usb active sync start syncing my PIM info and goodsync sync my files. so I created a folder on my desktop/laptop and save any download cab;s related to PPC in that folder which get sync as soon as I plug in usb cable in my tilt.
more info http://www.goodsync.com/ this is truly not converting tilt into usb drive but it help me sync both file and PIM. This software is also useful to sync to ftp sites and other netwrok drive as well sftp drive also.
SO I use Active sync + Good Sync + my Mobiler/explorer

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] Phone and PC wifi lan connection files transfer!

Because my usb hub on my phone doesnt work so could any one tell me how can I transfer files between PC and phone via wifi lan connection? I also have an sd card reader but I dont like take off the cover of the phone every time I need to copy files to sd card. Thanks!

I love to do file exchange via wifi. I mostly use File Expert which is file explorer but has many features including root explorer, FTP and WEB share and much more. I choose mostly enabling FTP share, our phone become an FTP Server and we can browse via windows browser or any ftp browser and do file exchange.
Or you can use Android Sync Manager, to synchronize anything else beside of file exchange.

Off-topic post.
Since you have wifi and now your device is rooted, test this app for adb over wireless.

P.S. Sorry for posting apps related link in general section, but did not want to start new thread as this app is most useful for you rather than any one else here. (I guess)
