Hi,
i've got problems transfering data from my PC to the Diamond. When i use the Diamond as external HDD and transfer some mp3s or PDFs, i can't open any of those files. At work everything is just fine, but there i have USB2.0, so my guess is, that it must have something to do with the USB ports.
I've found a workaround, because i can transfer mp3s via ActiveSync and then i can play them on my Diamond, but i would rather prefere using the Diamond as external HDD.
btw: transfering Data from the Diamond to the PC works fine.
Thanks in advance

All I want to do is transfer some ringtones that I made to my Tilt, from my Linux OS. Is this possible somehow ? Or do I really have to dig up my older than hell XP laptop, then install proprietary software in order to transfer files ? Thanks.

I tried SynCE ages ago, but I eventually gave up. I usually stick to the microSD card or SSH.
same here, I've tried a ton of different things, but all have failed...
I think pof has got it working on an ubuntu machine, why don't you pm him?
Discouraging, but I appreciate the honesty. I'll try and PM pof and see what he says. Otherwise, I guess it'll be all micro SD transfers. Thanks again.
Doug
I just download everything.. I put it in a folder tree structure based on the type of file (Communications, Schedule, Utility, etc) and then I access it from the phone from the web.
Sometimes also push things over bluetooth.
You could also attempt the Card Export / WM5torage solution; which lets you access the storage card as a USB Mass Storage device; and no proprietary software is needed for that route. I think I read that someone had that working in linux.

What I have done with my Ubuntu laptop is simply send the file via Bluetooth. It's a little slow, but it works like a champ!

Is the card export thing a program I download from somewhere, or a cab file that enables the micro sd card to be read as a ums device ? That sounds like a perfect solution.
Bluetooth sounds good too, but my PC isn't (I didn't install one) equip with a BT card. The Macbook Pro, on the other hand... (which I've had a ***** of a time trying to get set up with the Tilt thus far...)

Ive got a Macbook Pro. What problems have you had? Maybe I can help you out a bit? Ive had no problems so far. Bluetooth file exchange works seamlessly for smaller programs and apps. When it comes to flashing roms, just use the microsd card with a card reader and rename the .nbh to KAISIMG.nbh
If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
Also, you can get a USB Bluetooth dongle these days for all of 15USD on Ebay. I would definitely invest in one for the other computer
I just coverted a dvd film to divx format and tried copying it to the diamond's internal storage. However, the transfer was taking forever and the transfer progress bar never went above two bars - in fact, it repeatedly got to two bars then started again.
Anyone know what the problem is here? Should I compress the file first?
Are you sure you have enough space on your device to fit the film on there?
Yeah, i'm putting it on the 4gb internal memory - nothing much is currently on there...
use it as a drive not active sync
Yes, active sync is not faster as the usb drive function, however its transfer window is blocked, but the transfer goes on (the transfer bar hang, but will disappear when the transfer is completed).
With USB drive mode, no problems at all.
Thanks guys, it was active sync that was the problem!
All sorted now.
HI, I was wondering if there is a way that I can find software that will install on my phone that I can connect to any computer. I would like to use the 8 gig sd micro for a portable hard drive storage. But there are some places that will not let me install actvsync. But it will let me charge the phone on the USB port. I travel a lot and would like to just transfer files without email

Try Card Export II (you can demo it, before you pay).
There are free versions of other Mass Storage app's but seem to have problems with the Kaiser.

hi why don't u use usb2pc? the pc will think your phone (micro sdcard) is an external harddisk.
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

does not work on kaiser unless you hack in the cardexport driver.

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.
Andy
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.
