Im new to the Pocket PC game...my phone has about 30mb of memory which isnt alot...and my phone always says memory low....is there anyway to upgrade the memory or would i just have to store everything onto my memory card....and also when it comes to Windows Media Player could i download movies from the internet on the phone to watch....
Thanks

You can use various media players to watch movies, the best way is to use a program call dvd to pocket pc, this will convert a whole film from dvd that will then fit on a memory card.
Camera saves photos in Internal Storage card/My Documents and not in Internal Storage card/My Documents/My Pictures. Advanced config does not change it as well.
In my Registry are My Pictures, but this does not help.
Has anyone idea for this?
up
same problem
I have an 8MB SDHC card in my TyTn II and was contemplating using Windows Media Player Synch. It says in the manual that you can aslo synch the storage card but regardless of what I try I cannot get WMP on the PC to see the storage card?? When I use Windows Explorer on the PC I can see and navigate to it and examine the content in it, but not with Windows Media Player? I have a My Music folder on the card and there are WMA and MP3 files in there.
Is it a WMP glitch perhaps or is there something I should have done (card formatting - it's a brand new card though, never been in another device) or perhaps need to do???
I recently had the same problem: I could view the contents of my 8GB Sandisk in File Manager, Total Commander or Resco Explorer, I could create, update and use the library in HTC Audio Manager, but WMP could not see the storage card and therefore could not update the library (it could work from its saved record of the library before I deleted that).
At the same time, Outlook began having problems. Any time I would try to open an attachment (attachments are stored on the storage card) it would take several minutes to open and the application (usually Word) would be so sluggish as to be unusable. Also, Pocket Player was taking about 5 minutes to start up (I'm assuming that it was doing a library scan before opening).
The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a new ROM. Hard reset and restoring a backup did not work and decided that if I was going to hard reset and start setting up again from scratch, which might work, then I might as well try a new ROM.

What version of WMP do you have on the PC and what OS? What you want worked OK for me with a Win XP Pro SP3 PC using WMP 11 and AS 4.5. WMP even categorised all my MP3s into individual artist folders on the card (6 GB Sandisk). WMP 11 saw my TyTN II and because I wanted to transfer more than the remaining internal storage space on my TyTN II worth of MP3s across, was clever enough to automatically put them all on the card.
I might try the ROM/WM 6.1 upgrade from the HTC site. I have it downloaded but was reluctant to install bearing in mind the various problem threads.
I am running Windiows Vista Business and have Media Player 11. It seems odd that Windows Explorer can see the Storage Card but not Media Player. I cannot add it by browsing via 'Add to Library' either. Not too crticial for me as there are other methods (indeed other players) to get music across but it's one of those things that now I know it's not working - I'd like to fix).
I'd like to synchronize some multimedia files with my htc diamond. The problem is that from Windows Media Player it only shows the phone memory, not the whole 4 GB of the included card.
To make full use of the whole 4Gb, i'd like my media files to be stored in the internal storage card.
Has someone faced this issue?
Thanks!
I can't set an mp3 as my ringtone. It just can't play mp3 when i use them for ringtones. I can listen to them in windows media player.
Hi,
My first post on this forum but hope it is of help.
Using an mp3 as a ringtone is cumbersome in winmo6.1 but possible. The problem is that it will not use mp3s from the internal storage card but the internal memory is very small.
My suggestion would be to use a program of some sort to trim the mp3 to just the 20s or 30s you need (winmo has a program called "MP3 Trimmer" but I haven't had need to use it so can't comment on it). Then copy the mp3 to My Device\My Documents\My Ringtones\.
Or you can just use "File Explorer", find the mp3 you want, hold-click on the file and choose "Set as ringtone". This will copy the file to the above-named folder and set it as ringtone.
Hope it helps!
will work from storage

I use mp3s from storsge card (4gb internal storage on Diamond) for ringtone, text alert, etc. Works fine. Just make sure you have a MyDocuments folder on your storage card, then copy mp3 to storage card/myDocuments. Then when you open sounds & notifications tab to select ring & alert sounds, your mp3s will show up in the dialog box that you scroll through to select sound. Has worked just fine for me on my diamond for the last year
(until yesterday, when I used a new file exp
lorer to force file association of mp3s to win media player, forgetting that my system needs em for tones & rings. now now any mp3 file in my device will ONLY work thru media player, not rings/alerts. Trying to figure how to fix that now)
but you should have no problem with ringtones from storage card(internal storage)/MyDocuments. Same is true with wallpaper for today screen, anything you put in storage/MyDocuments, will be selectable. hope you check this thread back.
Nice but possibly untidy?
That sounds much simpler than my suggestion! However, it also means giving up the My Documents folder to music, or making it untidy as it is mixed with other files.
I suppose I could have a different folder for my actual documents. But will the camera still save in its default storage\my documents\my pictures location within the folder with all the music?
On a slight side note, is it possible to change the folders used by the TouchFlo 3D music app? My app has decided to list all the mp3s in the TomTom folder & in any games folders
@ meister2681...
Your folders don't need to be terribly untidy. For example, on my storage, I have , the root has folders for Zips, Cabs, Program Files, MUSIC, My Documents, etc. My Documents has subfolders for My Videos, My Pictures, I think maybe 1 more folder, I forget. Anyhow, MUSIC, is where I put all my mp3s. The few that I use for ringtones and alerts, I copy them to storage/My Documents (I use only about 5, so it's not too messy or cluttered).
Yes, camera will still save to storage/My Documents/My Pictures
Don't know about htc music folder. I don't use Touchflo (don't like all the scrolling required), and just don't really have time to examine it right now (my 3yr old is demanding attention )
Long press on your mp3s should give you a 'set as ringtone' option. Mine doesn't anymore, but it's because of something dumb I did
Cool!
I will have to try it that way once I've put the latest ROM on (I'm sticking with official ones at the moment, I have 1.93 but just downloaded 2.03). Will be upgrading soon, hopefully to HD2, then will mod the diamond to oblivion!
Thanks for the advice, hopefully the original thread author will log in and check!
FWIW...
WooHoo, I finally got all my menu options back. Wiped my device. It turns out, the Clear Storage option under Settings restores your device to factory settings BUT, leaves your storage card/Internal storage in tact. So I still have all my music, and all my cabs for easy reinstall of all my programs. Cool! I thought it would wipe my entire device AND mass storage. But no. Just wish I woulda backed up contacts somehow :/
Activesync
I use activesync (or Mobile Device Centre on Win7) to synchronise contacts with Outlook. Find it works a treat and also makes it much easier to send emails - I use Outlook as my primary email program. Also synchronises calendar / notes etc.
will look
I'll look into that for next time. I've actually never playedwith/figured out activesync. Or Outlook, for that matter. The computer at my house doesn't have any Office progs, butjust did some digging and found it has Outlook Express (it's my roommates desktop, set up mostly for gaming, I guess). Will have a look, thanks.
My Phone
Not sure about Express, I remember it worked with my Nokia's sync software but dunno about activesync.
I also recently found that MS have a download called My Phone, which backs up everything to their server (cue conspiracy theorists!!). I've used it for text messages and I can now access them all through my hotmail account. Should work for all the rest as well, and I think it allows for restoring.
