Hi,
i've an HTC HD7 runing windows mobile 7.5. I've manage to view and save my files on the memory card by tweaking the usb driver but i can't browse them on the phone! Can someone please tell me how to view files uploaded on the memory card?
thanks

Windows Mobile 7.5? You must mean Windows Phone 7.5, since the former does not exist. Haha.
You'll need to side-load a file explorer application. Your device needs to be developer unlocked in order to do this.
Otherwise, the phone itself will not recognize any of the files that you put on the card, as it was not designed to do this.

hi guys...i am new here, and new to my kaiser too....
well, i try to copy some videos to it from my pc, some 300mb video file
however, when i try to send it using active sync, it just say not enough space and cant sent
i got a 2gb memory card, and i hardly use it (just use like less then 10mb)
so i am guessing does it send to the kaiser internal phone memory? or what?
anyone can help ?
if you are copying it over through file explorer, make sure you select a directory on the storage card to copy it over to (Mobile Device -> My Windows Mobile Device -> Storage card), and not to the default directory as that is your "my documents" directory on the PDA's main memory.
I searched the forums but could'nt find a similar problem. My SD card is read by my phone. But when i connect it to the computer through USB storage, only a few folders are seen(lost.dir, buildprop.tmp, .profig.os) along with any new folders that i create. But while browsing the card through a file explorer on my phone i can see all the files and folders. Anyone know what's wrong??
Try to put it in a card reader and see what happends.
Hey
I bought a sd card from eBay and had countless errors and trouble with it, I bought a new sd and had no issue what so ever. So try a new sd card or even formatt the memory card

See if you can back the contents up to the pc then run disk check or format.
Formatting at the moment is not an option. I have a lot of data on it that needs to be backed up like photos, videos, music etc. Unfortunately i cant backup the contents onto the PC since they cant be seen! Guess i have to upload everything onto dropbox and then format it. And with my current upload speed its going to take days . Unless there's someother way of doing it
Try doing a backup using a card reader for your pc.
Even with a card Reader only the "New" folders that i create can be seen. But on the phone All the folders can be seen.
Have you tried to connect it with Linux based OS or only with Windows?
Try this also. Currently there's a troyan round the globe. When it activates it hides all the folders on external media devices connected to PC, and creates .exe files with names of hidden folders. When you connect your storage to a PC with good antivirus it deletes .exe files but leaves folders on storage in hidden state. Try to configure your Windows Explorer or Total Commander to show hidden files and folders and maybe you'll be lucky.
Only with Windows XP and 7 based systems as im at a cousin's place. Found this problem when he wanted some songs from my card. I did scan the SD card using AVG. During the scan i noticed that the current files being scanned included those that i couldn't see using windows/commander file explorer. Hope that helps
Edit: A little messing around and i got it!! Folder Options > Hidden Files and Folders > Unchecked "Hide Protected Operating System Files"
Thank you for all your help
hello...
as you may know you can download the free apps .xap file from windows phone site...(with PC...)
and then move to an SD card and install it on your phone...(the How-to from Microsoft HERE...)
i'm going to buy HTC 8x or Lumia 920...as you know they don't support SD card...these phones don't support any memory card...
so...my question is...
is there a way to install/sideload (using the method i've mentioned) a .xap file (from windows phone site) to 8X or 920???
and by the way...i don't have any microsoft developer account...so i can't sideload using SDK and these kind of things...
and the reason that i want this is that i live in Iran...i can't access the store with phone...but with PC i can easily access it...

Is there any WP8 device that has an SD card slot ?
(I think MS specifically banned DS card slots on WP7 and WP8)
Or do you mean a permanent SD card that is installed inside the phone and cannot be removed ?
(And can be seen as a "Removable drive" when connected to the PC)
Those xap files from marketplace are different. I cant use an deployment tools but only copy into SD card and install thru the marketplace.
There is SD card support in WP8, there was none in WP7 (aside from the fixed SD cards).
I fear installation from SD won't help you with your problem as even then the phone needs to check and validate the installation through the Marketplace (which is not available in your location).
Actually, Samsung focus hace a microsd Port (first Windows Phone generation) and Lumia 820 and obevof the htc 8x hace support for the sale microsd card.

Hello people on XDA.
I have a little problem here regarding installing custom rom on my littlesisters Xperia X8.
In order to do anything, I need to be able to browse the SD card.
I've downloaded File Manager from Android Market and I'm able to see the content from the SD card on the PHONE.
When I connect the phone to my PC with USB (PC Comparion installed) i get a new device called Phone Card - everything seems good... at least for now. 2GB card, allright. 127mb space left. Allright.
I open the SD Card.. and there's only a tons of SHORTCUTS.. and I can't open these. I'm not near of browsning the same SD card as I am on the phone. What the hell is wrong? No DCIM folder, which is basically the only folder I need to backup for her before flashing.
TL;DR: I can browse the SD card on the phone when not connected with USB, when connected the phone can't find the SD card nor can I browse the SD card on the PC cause it doesn't show the same content.
Any help will be appreciated.. been googling for hours!!
Thanks
Daniel
Try the sd card with a card reader or another phone and see if its ok.
If not, format it(you will lose the cotent,sorry but I don't see any other way)
If it is ok(I think it will be ok,because at the phone it doesn't have any problem) then backup what you want and format it,if you don't want to format it then just put what you need to install a custom rom and put the sd back to x8
It sounds like a PC virus .
Experienced this before in my self.
install an antivirus like avast or eset nod32
+update them, very important

I got the same attack once when I connected my phone to college computer
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app
just bought lumia 620..didnt get memory card in retail package..so right now i just have phone's internal memory to store data..now the problem is..after connecting device to the PC, whenever i transfer files from PC to device, m able to see them in explorer of desktop os..but when i send .xap files from my android phone over bluetooth, m neither be able to install them in lumia nor able to see them in explorer when i connect it to PC..in simple words, where unrecognizable files (transferred over bluetooth) get stored in wp?? or how to see ALL contents of internal memory of wp?? i just want to remove those files transferred over bluetooth to clear the space and which are not seen in mass storage mode
hope you understand what i wanted to say..
You need SD card to side load applications.
Phone memory is not all seen by the system because part of it is occupied by windows phone OS root files, which protect themselves against other explorers.
Ya.. But how do I clear those files? Unnecessarily taking space.. seems internal memory connects in MTP mode n not in mass storage mode.. :X
You should be able to delete the files from the built-in file explorer from the phone.
