Using my kaiser as external drive?

Hi.
I have a bunch of pdf files i have stored on my SD card on my kaiser. Is there an way i can use my kaiser as external drive on computers without Sync tools - just as an ordinary external drive ?
Is it possible to make it (my kaiser) a "bluetooth drive"? or "network drive" or do i need to use usb cable ?

Search for WM5Storage or SOFTICK Card Export .. uses USB cable
(I prefer to use card export, it just works, but costs)

you can sync with bluetooth

Yeah, but the whole idea was _not_ to sync, but use it as external drive.
- Card Export works like a charm, thanx!

Ok.
What I'm doing is I created a user in windows just for work (or for whatever you use the PDFs).
When you connect your PPC with your PC just select "Conect without setting up your Device".
No synched files.
Idon't know for you but I'm happy that way.
Hope this help You

Try Using Mocha FTP Server ... it will make ur Windows mobile act as an FTP server.. then you dont need the cable to access your mobile... you can access it wirelessly if its on the same Network

Now thats better

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!

Oops Sorry
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.

bluetooth file exchange

Have been using my new tytn II for the past weeks, so am a newbie to this XDA-dev malarky and think its all great and fandabiousy, (preverbial) 'BUT' am having problems with lost bluetooth files......
I use a mac on leopard with bluetooth file exchange for data transfer/cabs etc. with the latest rom wmbile 6.1 from HTC site.
Also use the 'missing sync' as a go between instead of 'active sync' but tend to drop files across using the standard bluetooth file exchange as that seems to work more consistently than the desktop mount or instal option of the 'missing sync' -
tytn tells me that it is accepting the files and then says 'do I want to save file to device' I select 'yes' with no option for where to place them this means that I end up having to hunt throughout the device for the transfered file, which consistently is invisible to the naked eye
If I use the search it does not tell me where the files are being stored and does not offer any advanced options (that bit just does not seem to be playing at all no matter what it searches on) so I double click a cab from the search menu and it instals
From a file management perspective this is a nightmare as I presumably have redundant cab files somewhere on the phone and data which is just hoggin space
Have searched the forums here and htc and the blogs and the wider yhoo/ggle for the past day etc. But to no avail nothing on where this pesky little blighters are being stored or transferred to or no info on how to direct them to a folder of my choice.
So the million dollar question is.......... where they go? (presume there is a default)
The two million dollar question is .......... can I manage these more efficiently with better software? (if so any pointers)
And the three million dollar question is .......... How many smarties did it take to build the london underground?
All help much appreciated in full!

The default is under the Devices documents folder ( My device ----->My Documents using file explorer) . I also use a macbook pro. Best bet is to transfer things to a cardreader. MUCH faster and you dont have to worry about dropping out in the middle of a large file transfer.
Also, depending on the rom, there is also the option for an actual "Bluetooth transfers" folder which i also believe to be under the "My documents" folder on the device.

you are a guiness sir ! loads of cans found and deleted !

do you run tomtom? and if so do you find it works using the card reader to sync to HOME (their update software) ?
Am attempting to run tomtom 6 nav and have just bought the maps for western Europe but it will not sync through usb or bluetooth

Simply copy the maps onto the root of the sd card once downloaded. When you start uo tt6 ( im running tt7) it should ask for your key. Input it and all is good

my problem is found in the access to the maps - tomtom use 'home' software to download and pair with the device unfortunately this does not work with tytn and mac so am stuck at the 'turn your device on and pair' screen. with no links to my legitimate map downloads etc,
(have only found tomtom 6 navigator to work without crashing my tytn...)
have emailed tomtom to see if they can give me a manual cab download rather than this messy software malarky! still waiting reply.....

SharedSD as StorageCard in WinMo?

We can use Vista\XP-SharedSDcard as Network folder in WinMo via VM_Network_Browser+Network_Folder.
May by you know some program for WinMo that can emulate this SDcard (or Network folder) as StorageCard for WinMo?

Have asked the same thing, searched, but failed
Although more or less similar options have been descibed at this forum, I'm also still look "exactly" for what you are asking.
Reason : TomTom and some Aviation Software that I run won't run unless they see something like \Storage Card (in whatever language)
We need to emulate the drive from Vista to WinMo, connecting isn't a problem... we know, it's the emulation that is need for the reason above.
The software isn't available for Vista, so I don't care the power drain of running vista, JUST for the SD card.
So connecting it as a network folder won't help, anyone with a trick to fool WinMo into thinking it's the local SD card ?

Hi mate did you find anything for this, agree with you tomtom needs to see a folder called \storage card for it to work.

SD card access still strongly desired!!
I too am also looking for access to the SD card so that I can load up my WM side with many many programs!

thought i nearly had it....
on my x1 with tomtom7 installed there is a file in navigator folder called currentmap
when i open this file in notepad i got map location @ \stoarge card
so what i thought i could do is just change that to network\ storage card etc etc
but it did not work..............
never mind hey
