Basically, if I plug my Nook into my desktop, it disrupts my wireless USB card. It doesn't matter what I'm under (CM7, 'Stock', Froyo, Honeycomb, etc) it does it every time. IE: I plug in the Nook and my USB card becomes unresponsive, remove the Nook, remove the card, plug the card back in and I'm up and running again. I can plug anything else in, external passport, my Droid X, etc and everything is fine.
This is limited to my desktop only, as I can use my Nook like normal on my laptop (XPS M1530). The basics of my desktop config is below, if something you need to know is missing just let me know. Thanks!

Hello together!
I have an Ameo 8GB WM 6 which I want to use in my car - so far so good.
In addition, it is to play my MP3 collection.
But I have more Mp3 than 8 GB Mp3 - how can I extend the capacity?
Which external USB-HDD runs at the Ameo?
I have already tested a lot of HDD 2,5’’ - 1,8’’ - 3,5’’ but nothing works
I get only one USB-sticks to run!
Which capacity of USB-Sticks will work? 128GB?
Can I Use an external HDD with WLAN like the old ASUS WL-HD to map to the Ameo?
Can anybody help me?
I have searched a lot in various forums – some one has already running an external HDD via 4 in one cable.
Thanks!

There are two reasons why external HDDs don't work initially with the Athena:
1. Windows Mobile only has support for FAT volumes. Since most extHDDs now sold are formated as NTFS, they can't be read.
Solution: reformat (if you can) the HDD as FAT16/32. You might need to get a 3rd party program to do this as Windows XP won't format a drive in FAT if it's larger than 32GB (IIRC). USB flash drives are almost always formated in FAT16/32, which is why your Athena has no problem with them.
2. The HDD requires more power than the Athena can give. A standard USB port provides 500mA, but Windows Mobile devices that have USB Host/USB2Go only provide 100mA. That's good enough for nearly all keyboards, mice, and USB flash drives, but insufficient for HDDs (which can take as much as 700mA before spinning up).
Solution: You have to run the drive on external power if you want the Athena to read it.
I've done both the above and once got a 80GB drive mounted as an experiment. One odd thing about the Athena though - it'll only mount one drive from a USB hub.

I don't see why not, if you can figure out how to get a network drive mounted. It's supposedly straight forward (I've done that before with WM2003SE), but WM5/6 appear to be a bit more 'sensitive'.
the power Ok - I'll test it with an FAT32 formatted Disk!
And extarnal power!
Can I Use an USB-Y-Cabel for the power and plug the power USB to an running PC?

Trekstor USB 120GB works fine with HTC 7500 WM6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this will help "others",
because I tried a lot of different hardware for my athena HTC 7500
(dgimate ,like optical10 did suggest;it works but drains battery and wasn´t very foolproof)
but none did really satisfy my desires,
Today I bought a TrekStor USB 1 1/8 inch usb drive 120 GB and it works since a few hours very well,
I am using a HTC cable 4in 1 with mouse and a stowaway external bluetooth keyboard and everthing is working witout problems.
With SK-Tools I made a benchmark-test with Trakstor HD:
Reading : 15554 kb/s
Writing : 171 kb/s could be a bit faster
Hardware :
Athena Ameo T-Mobile
8 GB micro SD Sandisk
8 GB in build microdrive
external USB Digimate 160 GB Toshiba HD (battery draining)
Trekstor 120 GB 1 1/8 inch very small (like a credit-card)
a batterypack 6x1,3 V with an usb car adapter for the right voltage wth 10000 mah x1,3x 6 ist nearly 75000 mw or 7,5 Watt
Bluetooth Ear-Phone (usefull in car for speaking commands)
Simore silver Dual-Sim telefone-adapter wich works very fine (GSM only )
Stowaway bluetooth keyboard
USB cable mouse
Favorite software:
mortscipt,PocketDos(all my old clipper programs are working fine ) JKWörterbuch
Total commander
TomTom, IGO2008 and Navigon
(I tried them running all three in parallel and they work without problem)
System :
WM 6 professional CE OS 5.2.1620
Why I am writing this:
In many forums I found very divergent opinions about using the above hardware. Some human beings seam to like misleading "others".
P.S.
("I am searching an USB-Trackball WM-6 and 4in1 cable compatible), perhaps s.o. can give me a link where I can order such helpfull technic")
"Even until totay everything works fine because I copied this answer"
Ok
I tried 3 HDD all three formatted as fat32 and plugged to 4in1 cable.
The VGA software was turned off.
no one did work at all! I always used a power cable plugged into another running PC!
Do you think it might be the rom-version of T-mobile - should I take HTC?
@xdawis
If you say this one works: TrekStor USB 1 1/8 inch usb drive 120 GB

Hello Speedy2101,
I didn´t make any special settings on the Ameo,
I am using WM6 profesional
CEOS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
2007 Microsoft
Its original German WM6 from T-mobile
I upgraded from WM5
The first things you proof:
Does the 4in1 cable work correctly with an USB-Stick?
If it does , did you proof the microdrive with an other PC
With the HDD from Trekstor I didn´t even format it or did something like that
Otherwise I do not understand why it is working for me and not working with your application.

Is there anybody who is interrested in using an external 120 GB HDD with an ameo?
I can not believe that nobody else would like to use this comfortable facility
of external storage.
The 4in1 cable ad 120 GB are working without any problems since a couple of months.

Hi
Following on from my last thread.. I have a 320gb western digital sata harddrive that i want to install win 7 on. So i set the sata to second boot device and have the dvd drive set to first boot. It loads into the dvd but it takes a while. At 22:47 it is "Expanding Windows Files (0%)" So its taken 10-20 Minutes to get to this stage. So why is it slow on SATA, And fast on IDE? (my ide drive is a wd 80gb)
thanks
flyboy
So i got it installed and it goes to starting windows and then Setup is updating registry settings then...
Blue screen:
Something like ****STOP 0x0000008E (that code is right)
then underneath:
Win32k.sys
whats that mean?
thanks
flyboy
question: to what is your DVD drive connected - S-ATA or IDE?
question: if you set the machine so it boots your normal system - does it still work or does that come up with an error too?
It sounds like you have files on the Windows 7 install disk that are corrupted - a blue screen and stop error, indicating a *.sys file, usually means that either the system cannot find that file or it is corrupted (Win NT servers at one of my old workplaces used to throw that sort of fit fairly often).
The long time it took to work might be as a result of the system trying again and again to read the problem file and then giving up - with microsofts usual skill at installation s/w it would show the process as completed - but when you try to run the OS it falls over.
You could either try and re-install from another copy of the Window 7 installation disk - or if you have access to a system running Win7 you could try and find the file its unable to find and manually copy it to the correct location and see if that solves the issue.
It may take more than one transferred file to solve the problem and it may leave your Win7 installation a little flakey, but it would be quicker than restarting from scratch.
Hope that helped

@flyboyovyick2k9:
Need a few details about your system to be able to provide some guidance. Also would help to get the values that appear after - ex: STOP 0x0000008E (xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx).
Here are some details that would be helpful - worded them in question form:
1) OEM or home grown system? If OEM, brand & model. If HG, Motherboard manufacturer & model.
2) Does the system/motherboard support SATA or eSATA?
3) Does the system/motherboard BIOS have an option for AHCI or ATA?
4) If the BIOS does support AHCI, was it necessary to provide a driver during the Windows installation (ex: Intel Storage Matrix - TXTSETUP.OEM) ?
5) If you were able to install Windows to completion, were you able to install the Chipset and any sub-system (ex: Intel Storage Matrix) driver before restarting the system.
6) Are the firmware levels at the most recent (non-BETA) versions - BIOS, HDD, etc.
7) Does the HDD report as ok when running the WD Diagnostic tools?
8) Are all of the hardware components installed in the system compatible with this version of Windows?
9) Does the RAM report as ok when running a memory diagnostics tool (ex: Mem86, etc.)
10) What is the wattage of the PSU (power supply) in the unit?
HTH,
Right here goes,
The spec of my pc is in the signature. the psu is a Coloursit 550w.
Yes my board does support sataII.
The installation i have got works because i have just install it on my compaq evo laptop, and it works fine.
My normal machine boots fine without the sata drive connected but is a tiny bit slower when it is connected.
It has the latest bios. And is a homebuild. Not sure about the ahci or ata thing.
I have had a look but cant find it.
And yes i did get 4 other codes in brackets after the main one. Not sure if i can generate them again but will try.
The windows installation was fine on the ide. I did clone that drive to the sata one and it was fine but SLOW!
I could try and load the drivers for the sata in the windows installation.
thanks

Hadn't noticed your siggie the first time around and after clicking reply, the siggie isn't visible ... my bad.
Had a quick look at the N68-S manual - looks like the systemboard supports SATA/SATA II. I haven't looked at AMD in quite a while so I'm going to assume that ATA/AHCI are intel specific technologies ... not sure if these translate to SATA/SATA II. What is the WD model of your 320 GB?
At first guess, it would seem that the issue could be related to a BIOS mis-configuration or a missing driver package post-Windows install. After cloning the partition, were you able to startup the system with only the WD HDD connected? If not, that could be an indication that Chipset/RAID/SATA drivers may be missing. That said, if you have the patience, it would be worth trying a clean install of Windows directly to the WD HDD to eliminate the possibility that the cloning software is messing up the partition structure.
Cheers,

Could be bad MOBO, HD or Media. Go buy a chep sata hd. If you get the same problem, Get a new disk, same thing, then RMA your mobo.
My Win7 installation got corrupted just by trying to come back from hibernate. Suggestion was that I had to insert installation disk in DVD drive and go through the installation recovery process which would copy the missing files back to hard disk and recover the system. It did the trick for me. It might be worth a try.
Well its not a bad motherboard because i would have took it back (lasting 6 months that is) And it was new when i bought it from Aria.co.uk for £32.
The drive is:
WD Caviar Blue/SE/SE16 (SATA II)
WD3200AAKS
Im just cloning the hdd again now because i run some tests and it came back fine. So just waiting on that. Mean while im using my laptop.
thanks

Few more questions:
What product are you using to clone the HDD?
Before cloning the HDD, did you boot Windows with the WD HDD connected to the system?
Pertaining to the second question; connecting the WD HDD in the pre-clone instance of Windows would allow for the plug-n-play manager to detect the HDD and install the native Windows drivers.
I'd even go as far as to install the latest set of drivers for the entire system if you haven't already.
Additionally, confirm that Device Manager doesn't display "Unknown Devices" or "Disabled" devices. Address any device related issues pre-cloning.
Cheers,
The sata and ide drives are both installed in device manager. And i can access them. And write to them. But the read/write on the sata is 0.1xxx mb/s and on the ide is 100 or 200 mb/s.
EASEUS Partition Master. Does the same job as paragon.
thanks
flyboy
Hmmmm ... very strange ...
I'm going to assume the following points for the pre-clone image;
The WD HDD is at the latest firmware.
Jumper settings on the WD HDD are correct (http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc....php?p_faqid=1400&p_created=1134597011#jumper).
A SATA II compatible cable is being used.
Drivers were installed in the pre-clone version of Windows.
The BIOS is configured as recommended (ex: not overclocked for the moment).
If the WD HDD is underperforming before cloning the partition, I suspect that there may be a hardware incompatibility or the WD HDD is failing. There's no point in cloning the partition until you are able to obtain satisfactory performance from the WD HDD.
If the performance degradation is post-cloning, I would try a fresh new install of Windows directly to the WD HDD.
Cheers,
Could it possibly be that all the blocks on the hard drive are bad?
Also on the hdd it says that sata doesnt require jumpers, it does it.
thanks
flyboy
Assuming the following ...
The WD HDD Diagnostic reported that there was no issue with the HDD.
The jumper setting(s) for the HDD transfer mode is correctly set - 1.5/Mbps VS 3.0/Mbps.
A net new (clean) install of Windows to the WD HDD.
... and it's still running slow, I'd be looking to try a different HDD. If you experience the same issue with a different HDD Manufacturer/Model, I would start looking at the remainder of the hardware on your system.
Cheers,
Tryed installing windows 7 again, still slow erm. Ye i was just considering buying a new hdd.
Well im taking my pc to my uncles in february so he might be able to help me. Because we are doing a pc build for my 2nd cousin.
thanks for your help.

So I've been searching for a while, but I haven't really found anything. So far it seems like hardly anyone else actually has this problem, or I'm just a complete idiot. So if this matter has already been resolved, I would be very thankful if you could point me in the right direction.
Whenever I connect my AT&T Samsung Captivate (FireFly 3.0) to my computer (on both my Windows XP Pro and 7 Ultimate partitions), everything is hunky dory and everything runs normal and my phone charges. The instant that I turn on USB Storage in my phone, if I open up "My Computer", it just sits there and the green bar at the top (Windows 7) goes by very slowly until it almost reaches the end, and then just sits there indefinitely. I can't open up any other drives on my computer, including my phone's drive. I also can't eject the phone "safely". I have the drivers installed, and everything SHOULD work. Even if I turn off USB Storage, my computer still won't respond in those aspects, until I unplug the phone from my computer, and then everything just goes back to normal. In Windows XP the same thing happens, there's just no little progress bar telling me that nothing is happening, Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) just freezes and I must unplug the phone and restart the process to get my computer working again. If I plug the phone into my netbook running Ubuntu 10.04, I can open my phone's drives, but transfer speeds are still extremely slow.
I'm thinking it's something with the filesystem, and requires a reformat, but I'm not sure and I want to be entirely sure of it until I attempt pulling everything off of my phone and formatting and rerooting and reflashing FireFly.
If it matters, my computer's hardware is as follows:
AMD FX-4100 @ 4.15Ghz
8GB DDR3-1333 GSkill Ripjaw RAM
Asus GTX 460 768MB
Asus M5A97 Motherboard
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
Western Digital Green 500GB 5400RPM
Many thanks in advance for your time, I really hope I can get this figured out.
-Alex
I think it's not a problem with your pc. If so when you are connect it to ubuntu it should work. So it should be a matter of your captivate. Take a full backup and format it. Or try different rom and see.
I have a captivate with stock rom and it works perfectly with pc.

Desktop hardware seems off-topic
Okay so I got a 2nd hand HP pavilion a6230n desktop for the family room.. nothing powerful just something decent.
The issue I'm having is that the graphics card isn't being recognized by the pc. It has power because the cooling fans on the card turn on... But when I power it on it falls down to the built in graphics.
I've set the bios primary graphics to PCI16X but it still goes with the built in graphics. I tried updating the bios 5.11>5.13 but in windows it errors out with 9998 which apparently is an OS error.
OEM OS was Vista x64
Currently it has Windows 7 x32
3GB
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600
I'm at work so can't mess with it until later on at night.
The graphics card I'm trying Is Radeon 5450 which worked on the previous desktop I had there with the same PSU 300w.
I got another lower power graphics card laying around (x1300 Radeon) but didn't have the chance to test it.
Woundering if it's the PSU or the slot.
Might try the other desktop psu but doubt it.
And ideas?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Do you want video out of both? If not, disable completely the built in card in BIOS. If you don't do that it may just be using the card for a second monitor/extended desktop.
In the past my experience was that the bios always searched for a graphics card if none were found it reverts to the built in on.
Thing is not even windows or linux sees it. By the default the bios has the primary graphics to PCI.. I changed it to PCIE16X, saved and shutdown the pc put the card and turned it on but no display.. I switch the cables to the built VGA and everything wotks. I checked the bios settings again and it shows to use PCIE16x but it doesn't.

Howdy there!
I'm looking for some ideas for solving an issue I'm having because I've looked everywhere on there internet possible (I think lol) and still have yet to find anything like what I'm having troubles with. Here is what is going on:
I'm new to the Linux world and all though I know about Ubuntu I'm trying to use different builds along with Ubuntu so I can see what the differences between them all are. In my problem I'm using Elementary OS. While trying to install Elementary OS my Logitech wireless mouse does not move on the screen, which leaves me having to use my USB keyboard to tab through everything. Everything else works perfectly like the wireless card, the ethernet, etc. I've tried unplugging it and re-plugging it back in after a restart or after the installer is finished loading up. Which is sadly all I could think of aside from switching different USB ports but that didn't work either. After I use my keyboard to install the OS and it reboots to the desktop my mouse still does not want to move.
I'm stuck so if anyone has ideas I'm all ears, haha.
Thanks!
