Hi There,
i have been searching for a while now but i could not find it anywhere.
is there a tool for the tytn II thats makes it possible to connect it to the computer and that you get a menu with the following:
active sync
disk drive mode
internet sharing
just like the diamond.
on my rom i only have these 2 options
active sync
internet sharing

That's because on the Kaiser nothing but the CardExport program manages to emulate disk drive mode.
Is the disk drive mode that CardExport gives you noticeably better than just exploring the phone when it's plugged in normally? I know when you do it that way it threatens to convert your files when you copy them over, but in my experience it never actually does.
The only time I used disk drive mode on my Hermes was so I could charge it via my PS3 usb port since I spend a considerable amount of time next to my PS3 (my ps3 is next to my theater chair since I have a 122" projection screen and the Projector and surround sound system - and PS3 - are next to the chairs in the back of the room.)
I haven't tried it on my Kaiser since when I got the Kaiser it came with another charger which I placed there so I don't need the PS3 to charge anymore.
I'd be interested to see if it would increase the transfer speed though.. my God is it slow..
There is one utility 'nueMassStorage' that is supposed to do this, however I can't get it to work. I have it cooked into my rom and it does indeed present you with the option of ActiveSync or Mass Storage when you connect it to a PC via USB. ActiveSync works as normal but unfortunately I can't get the Mass Storage to work - it appears as a drive but Windows can't open it.
Maybe you can have more luck with it? Its available here as an OEM package to cook into a ROM or as a .cab to install.

I think that's cooked into the HyperDragon III Raphael ROM.. I'll test it out later.. I only ever hit the active sync button since I don't like transferring over USB due to the ridiculously slow connection.
try WM5torage

I'd like to know how they got this working? I have tried all the USB memory card utilities I could find (WM5torage, Card Export and nueMassStorage) and I can't get any of them to work. WM5Torage just doesn't work at all, Card Export & nueMassStorage seem to exhibit the same behaviour where they activate and Windows sees a storage card but can't access it (I think it asks if you want to format it). I have tried on 4 different Windows XP & 2003 machines and all behave the same so it is obviously the Kaiser (or the ROM).
I have MS Voice Command installed and I think I read that this might be the problem, however I gave up in the end and carry a tiny microSD-USB adapter on a keyring so I can at least get access, even if I have to take the microSD out.

Nope, nevermind. PLugged it in and it's just active sync or internet sharing.. I can't remember where I saw that... might have been another phone I was using.. lol..

Same here, much faster for big files like TomTom maps.

Hmmm... I might give it a try then. Normally I use my card reader when I have big stuff to transfer, but it'd be nice to not have to physically move my card.

thnx mate i'm gonna try this tool
as for wm5torage even after finetuning the program it still het stuck
Damn it does not work
softick's card export 3.15
i'm using softick's card export II ver3.15 with Win XP PRO SP3
it's working fine
CEII actually started kaiser support with ver3.12.....that was working fine too...
i'm on Hyperdragon's lite rom
I have Voice COmmand instlled as well, and Card EXport worked fine for me.. I used it as a thumb drive with ym car stereo (atleast during the free trial) and it worked great.. my comptuer saw the phone as a USB drive as well.... I got the stock at&t 6.0 rom with the bloatware removed and lots of extra programs isntalled... Running Vista ultimate x64 edition....

It's faster than Activesync indeed, and maybe more importantly doesn't require it to be installed on the PC you want to transfer files from, but it's still MUCH slower than putting the card in a reader. The communication on the Kaiser's USB is done at USB1.1 speeds (~800kB/s max while a card in a reader usually results in 3-15MB/s depending on the card and reader).

Yes this was my findings exactly. If you can use the card reader then do because nothing comes close in terms of speed.
Hi,
Recently got my t-mobile version of the diamond2, the Compact V.
I was used to the diamond, which flawlessly functioned as an external disk whenever i connected it to my pc.
When i connect the diamond2 to my pc, i can choose the option 'connect as external disk drive'. From my pc, i see it but cannot access the files (it looks empty). After disconnecting the cable, on the phone the internal storage card is gone... When connected with activesync, i can browse my storage card in my pc explorer. But also; after disconnecting the cable, the storage card is gone !
Only option is to turn my phone off and on, then my storage card magically exists again... How can i solve this? I still have the original T-mobile ROM (1.39.114.2 NLD)
same problem ! The diamond 1 same problem with the internal storage
I wouldn't say it's a problem. It's most probably a protection mechanism to prevent the card from being written from 2 sources.
Then again.. you could call it a limitation from HTC (or maybe microsoft)
It happend only if you choose Disk Drive. If you choose Active Sync, you can access it
This is a completly normal behaviour, and as far as I know, other phones do it this way too (Nokia's for example).
This limitation is not directly related to Microsoft or HTC.
The filesystem can not be 'mounted' to two systems at the same time.
For this reason, the phone will 'eject' the storage and act as a cardreader for the memorycard.
The reason you can access your Storage Card using ActiveSync has a reason. When you are using ActiveSync, the files are send to the phone and the phones writes it to the storage card. This has it's advantages and it's disadvantage.
Advantages:
- Memorycard will always be available for your phone
Disadvantages:
- You need ActiveSync installed on your PC
- Copying files through ActiveSync goes much slower..
The diskdrive option is much faster, cause your pc is directly writing to your memorycard and does not need a driver/software to work.
Have been trying to connect my Hero to my pc so I can fill up my SDcard with music, but every time I connect it to any pc, the phone just charges. I have the stock 1.5 ROM and still the phone just won't mount SDcard nor would it even pop up the option to mount on the taskbar. I have tried to install ADB drivers and nothing. Phone has been reset to factory defaults and still nothing happens when plugged in to usb, just charges the phone and no messages at all! What Can I do? Thnx in advance.
Have you tried mounting on a different computer? to see if it's either the computer or your phone
Yes I have tried on 6 computers. 4 windows and 2 linux, but same thing happens phone just charges.

1. Try different USB cord. Some are made so generic that they only supply power.
2. Check your connectors in the phone. Less likely, but maybe a hunk of pocket lint got in there?
Try downloading USB Switcher from the market, i had the same problem with my phone before and that seemed to fix it.
I have tried with two usb cords, one being the one that came with my ps3 and the other I just happen to come across with
I will try that right now
I just installed USB Switcher and same thing is happening, phone starts charging.

you have to add the widget to one of your screens then tap the widget icon while it's plugged in. then the icon will turn purple and, hopefully, you will be able to see the drive under my computer.
Widget is on one of my screens, but when I tap it it does nothing just stays gray.
maybe reformat your sd card?
You are absolutely sure the SD card is actually inserted into the slot on the phone?
or maybe even try to insert the sd card to your computer some other way..
If none of those options work, you can try loading up RA (hold HOME while powering on) and mount the SD in recovery > USB-MS Toggle.
Assuming you're rooted and loaded the custom recovery.
No no no.. download htc sync from htc. It should fix your problem.
HERE
All cell phones need drivers on the computer to mount your card. The htc ones come in htc sync.
Some phones, like this one, had the htc sync on the stock memory card... Mine didnt though
And windows can usually find the drivers online by itself. Mine did.
You dont have to sync anything or even set it up.
And of course open up your taskbar drop down list, select charge and change it to "disk drive" mount sd card
installing pdanet also installs the correct drivers
And he gets off when someone with good answer helps. lol
I have installed HTC sync on my computer with no luck. Also I have toggle the ms mode in recovery and still nothing, phone just charges. Im planing on formatting my sd card and starting again but can't find my micro SD adapter lol. Once I find it I will post any updates hopefully that will fix it.

Sounds like a corrupted microsd card. You should download the Android dev kit and use ADB and see if theres communication between your phone and the Pc. If not you should look into solving bigger problems than your microsd card.
If there is communication between your phone and computer and you have Adb working, try reformatting that microsd card or replacing it.
I have formatted my sd car with no luck. Still my phone just charges when plugged to the computer. I am pretty sure I have a defective hero, as I have never seen the option to mount the sd on the taskbar. I do have insurance on the phone, but do you guys think the techs at sprint might not want to work on it since it is rooted and has a custom ROM? lol
I recently got the new LG Optimus 2X and im having some real headache over it..
The thing is that it refuses to mount its sdcard on my macbook (10.6.6).
I tryed pretty much everything short of injecting valium, but it simply will not comply.
So could anyone please help me before my hair turns gray and falls off?
It pops up on win xp, both on a pc and in a vmware xp system on the mac, so i assume that its not using the default mass storage system anymore, some google searches hints that its using a semi-proprietary system similar to some mp3- and media-players.
So far ive been using my old phone as SD card adapter, and i also have a wifi network (rarely used, using mobile internet on a usb dongle) for ftp transfers.
But that aint enough, i need to be able to transfer audio/video files aswell as games/apps and backups to/from my phone in a easier fasion than adb push or ftp.
i really like the phone but im concidering returning it and buy a mac compatible phone instead.. but there are no other tegra phones available atm...
Does it use MTP? If so, check out http://www.wentnet.com/projects/xnjb/
I have a Tegra powered tablet (Advent Vega) and my MacBook Pro sees the sd card when mounted no problem.
You could also look at a program called Syncmate. Mac client and free Android version
XNJB is a no-go.. Will not detect a device.
Googlesearch mac with optimus x2 only reveals mac address related links or sites containing the words in different topic lists.
syncmate is a internet-solution, nothing gets synced locally..
And that is simply not an option when i want to transfer +1gb files (at the best of times i reach about 150k/s, usually around 10-30k/s)
Seems to work fine on my MacBook Pro.. no problem at all!
I have some trouble with the phone not detecting the second SD card, solution for me was to uncheck "USB Debugging" while it was plugged in.
Or
Plugout
Disable USB-Debugging
Plug in
Dangerous one: (This might damage current content on your SD-Card, i take no responsability)
While Phone is live
Plug out the SD
Phone goes belly up about it
Says it might be damaged and needs to be reformated
let the phone reformat the SD-Card
Plug the phone back in the Mac
Poof SDcard once again viewable
^^ Above is not recommended, and i can not explain why it worked. also i do not know if it might damage other components of the phone. But mine looks to be just fine and the SD-Card is performing as intended.
Why it is so hard for the Computers to see the external SD is a good Question, i have had the same issues with my windows 7 PC .. USB debugging seemed to be the fix initially.

On the Optimus 2X you need to activate yourself the USB Mass Storage mode, Go on Applications -> Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> Mass storage only
Desmopro, i already tryed that.
The mass storage setting disables the adb debug tho.
My computer can see the device in system profiler, a hardware list,
And adb devices lists it aswell, but disk utility can't see any connected storage,
mounted or otherwise.

What version of OSX you use ?
In terminal, can you see the device (on /dev) ?
Think to reinstall a combo update, to clean up your system
If you use 10.7 beta and you are a developper or a beta tester, send a report to Apple
If you use 10.7 beta found on bittorrent, downgrade to 10.6
The Optimus 2X dont use MTP but the old mass storage method, so there is normally no problem to use OSX with
Im using 10.6.6.
Its strange, my htc hero mounts just fine, without any hazzle or inconvenience, but the optimus will not show..
I finally did find the issue tho, as soon as i eject the external sd-card (remove it physically), the internal storage pops up without a hickup.
But as soon as i insert the sd card, the mounted card stops responding, folders wont refresh, file copy stops and the only option is to eject the media from finder.
So regardless of what i try, i cannot get the external card mounted on my mac, even tho it works fine on pc.
..ive been using my sd card from my hero from the moment i got the phone..
I just reformatted my SD card, and now my phone can't be discovered through winamp. I seem to remember having to make a file to put on the root of the SD card for it to happen, but my searches don't work. Anyone?
bump? Nobody has any advice for me?
Well if the SD card is mounted then it will not be discover able through any app on the phone because the computer has complete control over it. And winamp automatically mounts the SD card to the pc when you connect the USB cable so you will need to go in winamp settings and disable the auto-mount setting.
Sorry my post was unclear, I'm trying to sync my phone with winamp on my pc.
Ok now sorry but I'm lost what exactly do you mean?? You want to sync your phone with the pc using winamp or your trying to sync music on your pc into winamp?
Im trying to sync music from my pc onto my phone using winamp(on my pc). I do not have winamp on the phone. It was working fine until i formatted my sd card. The H drive will show up under my computers, but winamp will not recognize an android device, like it did before.
Well according to this link all you need is the desktop app and winamp on your phone http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wireless-music-sync-winamp-media-player-android/
