Have you try it on your Universal? Does it work?
Just tried this on an I-Mate JAMin and it works great. Thanks for posting it, very handy!!
Tried it on a Wizard, works flawlessly! I am in love! Thanks for finding this!
Work fine on HTC Prophet. Some experience would like to share as follow:
1. After you installed the program, soft reset first. If you encounter error message when you run this program first time, soft reset again.
2. During the file transfer process, the PDA cannot read the Memory Card.
3. Don't turn off the PDA power. You need to turn off any power time out setting in the PDA. Otherwise the process will stop.
Works like a charm on my MDA PRO with JASJAR ROM
Works perfect on Himalaya also!

Thank you it does not work on my dopod 900 i get an USB error.
Can u suggest please cheers
What does it do exactly?
Is it similar to Softick's Card Export 2?
So when installed, active sync via USB won't work anymore?
Is it always ON or is there a way to turn it OFF?
the program acts like a toogle. The first time you call it you can activate it, the second time you can deactivate it.

I get the following error
"Cant switch to mass storage USB driver, error 1f"
I have installed it to my device, not sd card and have soft reset it before using it.
Could it be that it doesnt support 4GB sd cards? I am using a 4gb transcend card.
I have an M5000
cheers
I was able to read a few more comments from the site, but I want to know your experiences regarding Active Sync and WM5torage switching on your Universals.
Is it possible to delete protected files from the \windows directiry with this software ?
well... i'm experiencing problems after activesync. WM5torage can't seem to initialize just like softick. I have to do a reboot and run WM5torage before activesyncing to make it work. I hope i'm not the only one having this problem... cuz if it is ... i need to do a clean reinstallation.
Jupiiiii
Great Tool !
Made my day.
Works perfectly on the Universal and the Wizard

Nice tool. Save us $20. Here is what I found out with regards to active sync:
1) I had active sync running fine. Turned active sync OFF while still plugged in and turned on WM5torage and activate it. Computer stated "Unable to recognized device". Unplugged my Exec and plugged it back in and computer recognized it immediately as a Local Hard Dirve. Excellent piece of software.
2) I had active sync open in the back ground without being plugged in. Tried plugging it in and the computer failed to recognize my Exec. The small active sync icon on the task bar just moved. I unplugged my device and totally shut active sync application from start>settings>running applications. Plugged my Exec back and active sync connected without any problems.
Conclusions:
1) We need to totally kill active sync from running before it can reconnect without problems after using WM5torage.
2) We still need to unplugged the device if we want to run WM5torage or re-run Active Sync. It would be nice if we can just toggle in and out of it without manually unplugging the Universal.
All in all this is a very handy little application and I am glad it is FREE. What makes it nicer is that it has such a small footprint: 45kb. I did not experienced any errors upon installation. Nice work by the developer.

Voila..!! It worked with out USB errors. Cheers, Taurus
It works perfect !!!
Thank you !!
Version 1.3 attached here!
Version 1.3
- added prompt to soft-restart the device after installation
- when storage is attached to USB host, mobile device USB controller and flash disk are ordered to be kept in "Power On" state
- added switch to choose between "Removable" and usual ("Hard Disk") device classes. Will affect how the host OS treats the device - for instance, it will not create System Restore and Recycle Bin if class is Removable.

Wonderful! It works as stated on my QTEK 9000 Universal
With PHM Tray Launch I could put an icon in my bottom task bar

Hi,
I've got 2 problems with my orbit.
1. When i put the orbit into the cradle or plug it in via a cable to my computer for the orbit to sync / charge the screen doesnt come on. The orbit is conncted to computer and sync's fine but for some reason the screen has just stopped comming on. If i turn the screen on and then put it in the cradle then its fine. Just annoying really.
2. I cant save any notes that i have created. For example i go into notes, then scribble something press the tick in the right hand corner but nothing happens? I cant get to the screen which asks where to save it and what to call it etc? I have wisbar and pocket breeze installed and both are the latest versions.
Cheers
Ben
Hi Jamin100,
I have the same problem with my Notes.
I see that you also run PocketBreeze... I think this might be the problem...
I will uninstall PocketBreeze and try again
Jamin 100....
I've found the problem: change the save path of your Notes from SD-Card to local memory of your device.
Good luck..
Hi,
I've got a weird problem with my MDA compact III (T-mobile Netherlands, original ROM).
For some reason I don't know the active sync doesn't seem to identify the phone anymore.
I know there are a lot of problems with active sync and I've read and searched a lot of those threads but I can't solve my problem.
Active sync always ends up with the message that there is no phone connected whereas it is.
I tried different versions of active sync and different PC's (WIN XP SP2), deleted partnerships both on the phone as well as in active sync, I changed the name of the phone which it uses to identify on connection.
No matter what I tried, nothing could solve this.
The only way for me to exchange data at this moment is using wm5torage and using CAB's to install.
Please help!!
PS: A hard reset is not an option since I need to continue with the tools and files that are currently in the ROM.
Thanks in advance

Ok ... I have seen your problem many times and yes there are many other threads on it . But lets see since im woke if I canhelp you crack this little apple . 1st what you mean by you can't hard reset you need to continue wuith tools . 2nd when the phone is connected to your computer does it charge ? Do you see it connect in the device manager ? 3rd of you plug your phone to the charger does it charge as well.
Now if these question are yes then 1st I would say reboot your computer and soift reset phone ... If that doesnt solve the problem then we will goto next step.
I have a similar problem :
facts :
1. the usb cable charge the battery correctly.
2. The Headphones and mic are working well.
3. No data connection ( both activesync and WM5Storage )
4. Back from long journey using as navigator so the car holder and the car charger my have damaged the data pins ?
5. Reinstalled activesync on the PC , tried different PC, tried different Usb Cable, soft resetted an hard resetted the device but no success.
Please give me some suggestions before going to repairing service.
Thanks

Sounds as if all is working . And what ever you were trying on the phone has an adverse effect ? What are these tools that are keepimng you from hard resetting ? I believe there is another program for connecting to this cell let me rack my brains while I think ...

Hi PURESKILLZZZ,
Many thanks for taking you time to read my explanation.
Let me give you some answers:
1.) The reason for me is that in case of a hardreset I need to install all applications again. Actually I've been doing a hard reset and then afterwards restored a backup I created with spb backup. Unfortunately the problem was still there.
2.) Yes the phone charges when connected through USB (so it's not the connector that is faulty I guess).
The device manager I need to checkout didn't lok at that yet.
When I connect using wm5torage I can see the SD card in the explorer.
3.) The phone charges when connected to the charger.
So I guess the answer is yes to all your questions.
If you have more questions to be able to help me please let me know.
I'd like to tackle this problem.
Thanks in advance

Any suggestions ?

I believe it is safe to say your present software is the issue and have you tried sktools for dong the back up .

i don't think so because i have no wm5torage connections so in my case i think is an hardware issue like data pins damaged ....
1 other thought ... A simple fix whichh may work . goto comm manager on your phone and click activeSync and see if that helps .

Did you jam the charger in the phone at anytime or did the phone drop while connected to charger . Just being connected for long periods of time dont hurt as I have ran my phone for over 24 hours connected to power while playing the radio thru the phone.
Unfortunately none of the suggestions worked for me.
It's not related to dropping the phone or taking hardware damage by faulty use or something.
This I know for sure since I own this phone only for a couple of weeks and didn't harm it in any way.
My conclusion also was that it must be software related, that's why I started this thread anyway.
Therefore I'm looking for suggestions/hints on the software side (most probably the problem would be on the phone and not on the PC, but what is it?........)

Ok .. Lets chase the possible software issues . What rom are you running and what have you installed ?
1 last note before I go take a power nap . You can check your activesync setting on the phone . goto => Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Change the mode of the box next to Enable advance Network functionality. click ok .. Now try to connect ... The box is suppose to have a check in it but sometimes there are other reasons why it doesnt worj the defaukt way . I hope I have been of some assistance to you.
Similar issue
I had this same issue recently I thought it may be due to upgrading to activsync 4.5.
But it seemed not to make much difference when I attempted to work it on another pc using activsync.
The problem only occured after I had been using pocket mechanic to delete files and free up dead registry files.
I didn't want to do a hard reset straight away so instead I restored an older backup from before the issue started & since then the problem has been resolved.
So I guess the question is do you have an older backup than the one you have tried if so try it & see. Other than that a hard reset may well sort the issue?
Hope this helps, and serves as a warning to others don't delete certain reg keys even if a program (pocket mechanic) stated them to be empty or redundant unless you have a backup to restore when things go wrong!

Yeah a backup is a good idea but most dont do that . And yeah some cleaners do remove more than they should.

Almost every program you named I have installed various times . And I know from experience quiet a few of them clash . Biggest example is the anton tomov pocket mechanic and PC Counselor Tweaks2k2 .NET. Both of those running with the resco stuff is utter ciaos.
Hell this is complicated...
I have the same problem although my mda compact III (T-Mobile) is pretty new! Would it help to
a) install activesync 4.5 (I currently use 4.2)
b) to debrand it
Hope there is a simple solution... and many thanks in advance for it!!!
I had a similar problem, are you guys using a firewall? if so you may need to open a port or what I do is temporarily deactivate my firewall when I connect my orbit to my pc.
Hope that helps.
hi ppl,
after the upgrade from 2003 to WM5, everything is ok but BA wont sync any more. It used to work fine with 2003, I bring it to my friend where we patched it, we didnt sync it there but his pc obviusly saw BA during the patching process.... When I brought it home my PC couldnt sync with BA any more.
When I put the BA in the cradly PC found it and let me explore the BA thru the active sync just like before but after that it report that he can not sync and that I recconect the device, after the reconnecting - same story. Exploring works ok all the time but syncing dont.
Im suspicious about the fact that PC didnt asked me about the new device after the wm5 patch and didnt asked me about the type of the partnership (you know guest and normal)...
Used to try without the firewall, didnt helped, and didnt know how to manage to connect it and sync it via the BT...
Any ideas regarding the syncing via the USB or if someone can me please explain BT sync process...
Can I sync it with the WIFI ad hoc wifi network ? how please ? That could help too maybe.
PC OS is XP SP2
Best regards !
try this...
make sure you have updated your activesync to the recent version. mine is 4.5
1. remove your BA from the cradle.
2. delete your mobile device profile in activesync.
(File-> Delete Mobile Device)
3. place your BA in the cradle
4. re-setup your mobile device.
ty active sync on the PC is 4.5...
tryed to reinstall it, deleted the folder, run registry cleaner, install it again and nothing changed...
Im suspicious that the problem is in BA, when I run active sync there it reports on some kind of info screen "to sync with the desktop computer, install Activesync on your computer and then connect this device. If your company support syncing directly with its exchange server blah blah"... Never saw this screen in the active sync on BA before...
It looked like PCs active sync before as far as I remember....
used to try to connect it with the BT, after the pairing with the PC BA shows the screen with the services that I want to use for that BT connection but the list is empty... Anyway they are paired in that moment (passkey passed)... When I click on the connect with the BT in the active sync on the BA it report that theres no BT paired devices in that moment and that I can pair if I want, I chooce PC on the next screen again but nothing happens...
sorry to hear that.
i guess if you're using BT to sync i cant help you with that.
i know there's a topic here somewhere about the BT Stack incompatibilities.
let's hope someone who had your error find his way into reading this.
------------------------
tragedy: life's a windows[tm] bliss... till one bug shows up and eats up your lifespan with stress in bugbusting.
looks like that PC cant read settings of the BA coz when syncing begins, PC report that he is retrieving settings but moment after that he report sync can not be completed succesfully....
Like theres some firewall in the BA which prevents pc from the reading of the settings.
Problem is solved, BA is upgraded to WM6.
always glad to hear someone has solved a problem.
even if my posts didnt helped a bit. ahaha...
Hi All,
how can I launch active sync on the artemis?
I've got active sync 4.5 installed on my xp pc at work, has been syncing without a problem, yesterday when I plugged my usb cable into the phone, it did'nt sync and is not seen as a usb device.
Looking on the phone active sync is usually a running as a background task, but it currently is'nt.
Can I launch it manually?
Running meschle artemis touch 3.01 full, if that helps.
cheers

Go to start/programs and than start activesync
still had problems - launched active sync manually, click sync, a progress bar flashed up and disappeared - phone still not seen from the PC.
did some more searching and got it working again by going to connections, USB/PC connection and unticked advanced usb is disabled - active sync came straight back up
not sure what happed ans aI certainly don't remember ticking the box in the first place - don't care either as all seems to be back working again.

hi again i have a problem with the phone.I upgraded the xda in win2006 but the active sync doesnt make a connection with the device everytime i try to connect it.i have active sync 4,5 and this version worked fine with my previous phone xda exec .so whats the problem in this? and do i need to install another version of active sync ?4,2 or something?thanks
problem with ActiveSync
I have pretty much the same problem, only mine is something like this: If I connect the BA to the PC first time, it's working, but if I disconnect it and try do plug it in again, it's not seeing my device. So sometimes I have to restart so that my active sync works again. I'm almost sure that my problem is because of the operating system on the pc witch is not in a very good shape.
ok any solutions what should i do?? the problem is still on active sync cant make a connection.

I have learned that I must turn off the BA between sync attempts. If I push the power button, wait a couple seconds then push it again and place in the cradle. Ever since I started doing it this way I get no timeouts/can't connects.

WM6 requires activsync 4.5 or higher so downgrading will not help. Have you ever been able to sync? Is this the same computer/activsync setup you used to upgrade the BA? One thing I have heard that people have done that has helped is to completely uninstall activsync, reboot the computer, then re-install activsync. Windows does strange things so it may very well help.
