Hi guys!
Ive had this happen once or twice before.
I have the following folder route:
Storage Card/Backup/PIM
Storage Card/Backup/ SPB Finance
Storage Card/Backup/SPB Pocket Plus
Suddenly the contents of a folder will disappear !
Browsing to the folder via explorer will s how an empty folder, using the application to find the file will also show nothing.
This first happened with the folder SPB Finance. Suddenly all my backup were gone and never returned. So I began backing up to SPB Pocket PLUS folder.
But now all 3 folders are empty!
In PIM folder, I used to see my PIM backups, but now browsing to it will show an empty folder. If I open up PIM to restore to a file in there, the folder PIM wont open.
Same with SPB Finance, if I restore to a file created earlier, it wont be there. I backedup to the folder today,and finance said successfully backed up, but browsing to the folder shows nothing, even when I try to restore to the file I just created, it shows nothing!
Ill be able to open Storage Card then Backup, but PIM folder wont open (the little plus sign doesnt change to minus).
This is very alarming!
As far as I know, I can only say its happened in the Backup folder as its the one I access the most to restore and backup to. It could be happening in other folders but I have not discovered it yet.

have you tried another sd card? sound like your current one is going bad.
The issue is its happened before, on another sd card, thats why I manually migrated all my data to this current one thats also acting unreliable.
This has happened to me before, with some files missing then the entire content on micro SD card gone, but still showing 2gb of storage space used.
I did some searching on google and basically there are softwares out there that you can use to recover the files that are now missing, but I tried and it's quite troublesome and not entirely successful.
Sometimes could be that your SD card is faulty, but most of the time is just your device that is not reading the card properly.
My advice to you, which was what I did:
1) plug your SD card on one those card readers and do a thorough format of the drive.
2) Do a hard-reset or a Clear Storage of your phone.
3) re-install everything.
4) After you're done re-installing, use SPB Backup and do a backup of your phone's memory and storage card.
The only reason I've done the backup was in case my SD card was faulty then I wouldn't have to reinstall everything again after purchasing a new card.
But so far, a long time has passed and the formatted SD card is working fine. No missing files or folders.
Same thing happens to me. The other day the voices for TomTom just disappeared! I keep a backup of the card, so I just copied them across. I'm not sure what the real cause is but the idea of re-formatting the card sounds good. I'm not looking forward to a hard reset but that may be needed too. No help I'm afraid but at least you're not alone. Maybe someone knows the real cause.
Storage Card missing file fixed
I had the same issue.
Where after a reinstall I found several folders and files missing from my storage card.
It happened more than once, and this fixed it when I saw the problem.
Here is what I did to get the files back.
If files seems missing from the Storaga card
to show the files again
Copy a file with the same name of an already existing file (one of those who disappeared) on the storage card in the storage card root folder. (myChannels.opml or zz.txt)
When the file is copied all the other files and folders will show.
The file copied could be showed stored in a 8.3 file name format (old DOS file.ext), and you might not be able to delete it.
I think the issue might be related to invalid file names (or an invalid long file names) in the storage card.
If you did not have this probllem I suggest you put a short text file on the storage card root folder so that you can use this trick to restore the folders and files if you experience the problem.
I've had the same issue but I noticed that reconnecting to ActiveSync solves it. The files dissappeared after using my Tilt as a guest on a second computer and I've had it happen a few times. Returning to my main computer and syncing restores them every time though...
My Tilt just started doing this too. I usually notice either my Storage Card/Program Files/Egree Files in the directory missing or the Data files for Egress on the storage card missing. I also recently flashed to L26 KaiserTouch V1M2D.
After a reset the files will show up again.
I'm not sure if Egress or the new Rom causing this. Very odd and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.
OK it happened again and I could not fix it.
This time I reformatted the card

thats wierd, my Tilt's tomtom maps mistiriously vanished today and last friday I swiched from landscape to portrate and it went black, I use wisbar advanced desktop and what caused it to go black was that my skin which was stored on the card mistiriously vanished. I think its time to backup my pictures and videos before they vanish.
Fix is here
Yea, this happens to me all the time. Sometimes a directory go missing, sometimes entire card looks blank. When use PC to read the card, the directory also seems to be blank... It's very annoying! It becomes even worse after I change to a 8G card (from 4G)...
Lucky, after some google I found following solution seems to work. at least I didnt have any of this problem for 2 weeks after apply this. (It was once almost every week. I end up having a backup for SD card)
Just modify following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class\High_Capacity\BlockTransferSize
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class\BlockTransferSize
Change original 64 (on my HTC WM6.1 tilt) to 32 (dec) or smaller value.
Smaller value=better reliability=slower card access
This key means the number of data 'blocks' transferred during one transaction. Larger value means "more data blocks get transferred during one transaction". Larger cards have larger block (a.k.a sector) that means more data per block. This exacerbate the data loss which caused the folder content missing..
Please be noted it's recommended to backup your phone before registry hack. I will not responsible for any data loss or malfunction caused by doing those registry hack. If you do not know what registry edit works then I recommend not doing it since it can render your device not usable unless applying a hard reset (which lose all your data!)
Please let us know how it works for you.
Been messing around with some of the more basic tweaks, and I have all of a sudden got a major issue. My File Explorer takes an extraordinary amount of time to load up the Windows directory. I mean, it sits there for a good 5 minutes before it loads up that directory. Once it is opened, I can navigate through my device and the other folders just fine, but the SECOND I try to get into the Windows directory it's just wait-city....
I did not tweak anything with File Explorer. Is there any way to fix this?
its my first PPC so maybe im missing something but... why would u ever really need to explore your Windows Folder that much on your phone? and ofcourse it takes a ton of time to load, it has tons of system files in there to enumerate
that is weird though, mine takes a while to load up, but certainly not 5 minutes
if you are installing programs into your Windows folder, and trying to access them through the File Explorer, then ur "doing it wrong" as they say on this here internets... most anytime i mess with my windows folder on my phone, im doing synced up with active sync on my PC
There are actualyl plenty of reasons to be in the Windows Directory. And many of them have to do with tweaking and other enhancements to the device.
Just backup your stuff and do a hard reset, perhaps it is worth making a note of which stuff you changed should this happen again?
EDIT: Yes there are PENTY of reasons to be navigating into the \Windows folder on a PPC so its not a "doing it wrong" situation...however it is always wise to research the tweaks and changes you are carrying out should you end up in the situation where you cant boot the device....hence losing your data.
On my ELFin, I think this used to happen whenever I messed about with TF2D themes, since they contain hundreds of files.
Mine will load from my PC or on the phone in about 30 seconds (slightly longer from the phone itself)
5 minutes seems rather excessive just for the window's directory
As stated above try the reset on it to see about clearing up some memory.
Also when active sync came up on the phone did you accidentally select a different type of connection than active sync? I did once and everything ran super slow unless I was browsing through it as a thumb drive.
On WM, windows throws EVERYTHING into that one directory, the more stuff you add, the more that directory gets filled. I know my tilt could take like a minute to load that one directory. At the moment the Fuze loads it in under 15 seconds.
I use it to launch cabs and find files. Its my first PPC w/e its called. I had that happen before though it lagged soo much i reset my fuze and it fixed it.
A lot of the time is how its sorted. Make sure its sorted by name, as this is how the files are normally indexed. If you select sort by Type, it has to sort it each and every time you try to browse to the Windows directory. Its nothing wrong with your Fuze, but rather Windows Mobile. We are so due for an update.
Hi Supertruck,
You could try using Total Commander instead of File Explorer, it's loads better by far.
Also, you can setup directory hotlists so if you need to take a look at \Windows\Rings or \Windows\StartUp for example you can navigate straight there and miss out the wait while the device enumerates the \Windows dir.
Cheers,
D.
m. carroll....that was it!!! I had it sorted by file type because I was doing the PTT changes and was copying .lnk files around and wanted them all together. It opens right up now that I have it sorted by Name.
Strange how something so small can make such a huge differece.
Thanks so much!!!
Hi guys I have to use PTT for work and for some gawdawful reason HTC made the PTT icon a little yellow smiley face when its on, no they could just make a button that said PTT or something they had to use a smiley face and just looking at the face angers me. I dug around and I found a "hidden" file in the windows directory called PTTService.dll I opened it, found the icon resource, created a new icon, imported it, saved it and when I tried to put it on my machine I got an error that I don't have permission to do that.
I've pretty much hit a wall, I thought I'd done the hard part but I guess not, anyone have ideas? I don't wanna screw with the ROM because its a company phone.
You'll need to disable the dialer skin, and the PTT service through the registry, and soft reset so that the dll isnt actively loaded in memory. then you'll need to sign your dll with a certificate like the sdk certs, and load that cert onto your phone, then overwrite it and set the ptt service and dialer skin to load, and you should be golden..
I bet I could figure out how to do the registry thing, but the cert part makes my brain explode!
The attached app will sign any .exe or .dll with the Windows Mobile SDK Certs (use SDKSamplePriv)
Then copy SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.cer to your device and run it like a cab.
The signing process will fail if the file is already signed, first you need to strip the signature.. it will also fail if readonly, the solution to that is obvious
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2508061 <--- that app will strip the signature
Sorry its been so long to revisit this post, but I had to give a intro to Fuze and Win Mobile to all our Corporate users who all just got them recently and I wanted mine to look and act like theirs until I gave that presentation.
So I finally created the icon to replace that horrid smiley face, I created it with Microangelo (I couldn't believe I still had that app after like 5 years) and used PEXplorer to open the .dll, its PTTService.dll actually, and edit the resource, then change the icon and it worked! I only changed the small icon one because that's the one I see. (32x32 8 bit)
So I got a trial (15 day) of MemMaid and turned off the services for PTT and Keypad and set them to Manual Start, restarted the Fuze and they were off.
I think from here I am almost golden, I just couldn't figure out the signing part, because after I overwrote the PTTService.dll on the device (it warned it was on ROM etc) and tried to use MemMaid to start the service and put it on Auto Start, upon reset only the Keypad was working and the PTT was on Auto Start but wouldn't start unless I did it manually, and when I replaced it back with the original it did Auto Start so I think I signed it wrong.
Heres what I did I downloaded that extracted the linked file (by Da_G), then I had a folder called Sign_msigner, I ran siggner.exe chose the PTTService.dll that I created and it appeared to work because I got a text doc saying:
"Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped.
Succeeded"
so I replaced it, did the MemMaid thing and it wouldn't Auto Start, so I though Oh I forgot to do that certificate thing, so I coped the SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.cer from the Tools folder onto the Fuze, ran it, and that worked because I had a certificate in my certificates area of the Fuze (was only good until 12/31/08 it says) and tried it again and still no luck, can you guys give me some more great advice, I'm so close!!
It sounds like you did everything right, check the "Certificates" menu under settings to make sure the certificate you signed it with did load..
When a .dll is loaded as a driver (in HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn) signing it via this process won't work because those drivers are loaded before the certificate store is vetted.. but I don't think PTTService.dll loads there..
I didn't see anything in there except under the Intermediate tab and it says issues by: TEST USE ONLY - Sample Privileged Root.... expires: 12/31/09
I think that's in there tho because I ran that SDKSamplePrivDeveloper.cer on the Fuze myself (or is that what i was supposed to do), I don't think it started when it tried to load the PTTService.dll
I attached the dll, is there a way to check it?
Also there's 2 files in the tools folder called signcode.exe and signtool.exe, I didn't use these for anything, should I have.
Looks good, not sure why its not loading.
Might need to tool with the security settings, check this post for a good read on the subject:

Hi all,
I searched the forum and didn't find someone else asking the same question, so if someone else did then I did a bad job searching the forum.
I just got my XPERIA yesterday. I am not facing problems with it yet, maybe in some time I will but as always SE will find solutions for the problems (hopefully).
My main concern here is the ringing tone volume, does anyone else find it low even when the tone is put to the max. I also got the SE C905 for my other line, and it's the same with all my SE phones the ringing tone volume is good leave the volume 5 and the sound is heard pretty well when the phone is not near me. The reason I want the sound louder is because a lot of time my phone is on my desk and I am talking to someone in the office, or even when I'm home I leave it in my bedroom and go to the kitchen, the volume in the X1 won't help much. I read on another forum one of the users playing with something in the registry to make the ringing tone louder but didn't say how.
Can anyone help me out here??
Thanks in advance.
having the same problem.. the volume is really low when at max...
was hoping someone possibly finding a solution to this
try this it fixed the problem for me
right, same problem here... I tried to tweak the \Windows\audiopara.csv file for sound volumes but is REALLY different from the touch or raphael

does this break the volume control?
Hey guys,
I actually have the opposite problem. When the system volume on my X1i is FULL, it seems to 'clip' really bad and the sound is distorted. I therefore my leave my volume at 80% max, and sometimes it still sounds 'tinny' and distorted. I think this is because the speaker is quite crap, as my HTC Universal had much better sound.
billybob, I would just double check that while you're holding the phone, you aren't covering the speaker hole with your hand. It is VERY easy to do so, and this HUGELY affects the quality/volume of the speaker. In case you were unaware, the speaker is on the bottom left side of the phone.
Interested to hear what others think about this, but I can tell you that I do NOT have low volume for sure.
If it's your ringtones only, then you might want to look into editing the .wav/.mp3 file and increasing the levels that way. I always make my own ringtones, and I find that sometimes I need to increase the dB levels a bit more than normal.
theres already been a couple of threads on this, you do need to edit the correct audiopara file, have a search for audiopara on my username
patterns
I downloaded and installed the HTCVolume.cab file on my X1. Did a soft reset too. Now what next? I dont see any new program or any change in the volume? Am i missing something?
I did the same, nothing's there. I will try searching for the audiopara solution maybe it will fix the problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443276&highlight=volume
I dont think its a general volume problem. It seems the Xperia is playing custom mp3 ringtones quieter than the standard ringtones that came with the device.
It doesn't have to do with the ringtones because I am using my own ringtone and on my X1 it's low whereas on my other SE C905 it's normal.
Now for those of you who didn't solve this yet, here's what I did and it worked for me thanks to our friend fards.
P.S.: I am not responsible for any defection in your phone using my method. You should do this on your own responsability.
Download fards's AudioPara3_XC_Vodafone_V5.zip which I reuploaded or if you have the original one which I have you will have to download AudioPara3_XC.zip. It's the same file but one for vodafone and the other for original ones that are not locked to one company which is my case.
Now go to your X1 to Windows folder, you have either AudioPara3_XC_xxx.csv if your phone id locked to one company or AudioPara3_XC.csv if you have an unlocked phone. If you can't see these files press menu them show all files to view them. Now copy this csv file and put it somewhere on your desktop as a backup copy.
Unzip the csv file in some folder on your computer. Now download one of these files, which will allow you to copy the csv file to your mobile. Normal file explorer will not allow you to overwrite the csv file on the phone.
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
or direct cab file http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
After you install the software go to your Xperia open the software, navigate to Windows folder got the the AudioPara3_XC file and remove the read only option for the file. Now put your downloaded csv file to your phone (not to Windows folder, you can't paste it there). Using the total commander, navigate to where you copied the new csv file, then copy/move this file, and put the destination \Windows\ then soft reset your phone and you're done.
BTW after resetting the phone, the voice control interface changed, I don't know if it's due to the new csv but it kinda looks cool .
Thank you fards for the help
ehajj
thanks for the help. Just a few queries before I go ahead.
1) Will restoring the original AudioPara3_XC_xxx.csv file to its original destination will make the phone as it was before or its a irreversible process?
2) Does this increase the speaker volume (for tones) or only the earpiece volume?
Thanks for your prompt help!
Hi Moleculez,
1) The purpose of backing up the original file is to be able to restore the phone volume to its original state, so yes it's a reversible process.
2) I noticed an increase in the speaker volume and that's what I wanted in first place. For the earpiece I don't know yet as I just got my X1 on saturday afternoon so I am still Xperiencing with it.
I'm Having a slight problem, here, wonder if anyone can help.
I'm using total commander, trying to remove the read-only attribute from the .csv files in my x1/windows folder.
I touch and hold the file, and select properties, then clear the read-only checkbox, check the change checkbox, and click now.
Upon reselecting the.csv file, and opening properties, it is still read-only.
Am i doing something wrong? should i soft reset at this point to change the attribute?
Any help much appreciated, as i'd love my X1 to be a bit louder.
By the way, its a generic UK X1. (CarphoneWarehouse 02 unlocked/unbranded)

why are you trying to remove the read-only status of a file in rom?
Overwrite the file with the new one, the old one will not be deleted, the operating system will just use the new one instead. If you don't like it delete or rename the new file and after a soft reset the original file will be restored.

WARNING
the file posted for NoBrand X1 attenuates excessively the volume during calling if you use headphone, so for me is not usable...
i've had to re-overwrite to the orginal one
My wife got her X1i yesterday and I played around with it and the sound volume is great and the clarity is superb. So I don't know what this is about.
try to use a custom mp3 as ringer and you will know what we're talking about
GOAL: Set my own picture that appears when connect it to PC.
I delete default pictures in
Code:
./system/media/screensaver/authors/
I copy to this folder my own images. Change permissions. But if I connect nook to computer I get black screen. Somebody do that?
(main screensaver work good)
That screensaver system on the Nook is overly complicated and poorly implemented.
In many cases where it screws up it falls back on a fallback image.
The very specific fallback is the Brontë sisters.
The more general fallback is the /system/media/screensavers/authors folder.
If you want to keep your life simple, just delete all the contents of that folder and
put in a copy of your own screensaver in there (named anything).
I delete all content of this folder.
I only have blank /authors/ folder
I copy my own pictures. (same I have in media/screensaver)
Still have only black screen, when connect it to PC.
Sorry, I'm confused. Do you mean the popup that says "USB Mode"?
That only covers the center of the screen, the rest should be whatever was there already.
That image is /res/drawable-mdpi/ic_dialog_usb.png in framework-res.apk
no no, i mean the whole screen background. -the screensaver activated few minutes after i connect nook to PC.
Default it show the writers photo.
After I delete it from ./system/media/screensaver/authors/ it show only black screen.
Oh, screensave while USB mounted on a PC?
What exactly do you have in /system/media/screensavers/authors/
Are you sure that the images are good?
Just put one PNG in that directory and make sure that it's not screwed up.
There is also the screensave directories on /media and on /sdcard/My Files
The .PNG is the problem, i think.
In normal screensaver folder /media/screensaver/ i have .JPEG and work it.
Either should work.
I use only PNGs.
So, I use .PNG,.GIF images, but don't work. - I got black screen.
Images have correct dimension. I don't know where is problem.
I have no idea what is going on here.
All screensavers must have their own named directory.
Delete all that junk and put one PNG in
/system/media/screensaver/authors/whatever.png
This should be the only file in this directory.
Notice /system/media/screensaver vs. /media/screensavers
Go into settings and make sure that you have authors selected as your screensaver.
Sorry nothing work.
Code:
For full understanding
1. Connect NST to PC
2. Wait until it show USB conected
3. Lock screen by back button
4. That picture I mean
I don't understand at all what you mean.
If you take a Nook, plug it into a PC a popup appears, "USB Mode".
While that popup is up, no button, even the "n" button, has any effect.
If you are using Button Saviour or something to go back, that's another matter.
Then you are completely screwing up the internal state of the Nook.
Why would you want to do a "back" operation while the Nook is mounted on a PC?
Press the bottom button, not the "n".
Than you see the different screensaver. (default).
The button only lock screen imidiatly. -after period time it auto lock
Do you mean the power button on the back of the Nook?
Yes
Change the permission of the image and make it "rw-r--r--". I got mine to work after I did that.

For what it's worth (I know, this thread is so old), it was possible to change the default Bronte image screensaver by just putting my preferred image in the ./system/media/screensaver folder as the "default.png" file, after I renamed the original. No need to make a new folder, or delete anything from the authors folder, just swap out the existing default.png in ./system/media/screensaver with the image file of your choice (within the proper size/format ratios). In Settings, my screensaver is set to use ./media/screensaver/dontpanic/dontpanic.jpg. The dontpanic.png file was just converted from the dontpanic.jpg file into dontpanic.png and renamed default.png and dropped into ./system/media/screensaver folder.

I did the same thing (with the same pic, LOL). For good measure, I also swapped out bronte from the Authors folder, and set my screensavers to Authors. That was actually my main reason for keeping my Nook rooted -- I needed my scrensaver!

This is a really old thread but I just found the answer to a question I posted recently in the line quoted directly above! But......where is the "res" directory?? I'm using Root Browser and don't see it at all.
(I can also confirm that changing the permissions of the "default.png" [or a renamed "Bronte_Sisters.png"] as described earlier in this thread works like a charm. Sure looks better than that black screen!)
.apk files are actually zip files.
/res is a directory inside the .apk file.
To change normal (not foo.9.png) images you just need a zipper.
framework-res.apk has all the little icons and stuff.
Screensavers and power down screens are elsewhere.
