I have loaded some music on to this card (used in an XDA II) via Media Player 10/Activsync and it works fine up to a point.
That point is about 1GB!
Exploring the device clearly shows lots of space but any further attempt to add tracks produces a Not Enough Space response from MP.
Is this a known problem please and is there any solution?
Many thanks

Hi there,
I have the same issue. I found the following answer:
http://hardware.mcse.ms/archive31-2005-5-192332.html
However, I cannot locate a copy of DISKMAN 4.2 Beta to do it...
Anyone out there have a copy of this program?? If so, please put it on the FTP and let me know.
Cheers
Aaron
Thanks for the post but I think I may have a different problem to the link you posted.
I can quite clearly see the full 2GB capacity both on the xda II and exploring via ActivSync but I just can't transfer anything to the card.

Hey folks.. sorry for the laziness..
I remember there's an app we can use with our HTC devices that allows 'em to be plugged into a PC and be seen as a USB device / mass storage - instead of having to use active sync all the time.
What's the name of the app and does it work safely on my Orbit?
Thank you in advance!
Dood.
Hey Dood,
one app that can do this is "WM5Torage" . Works pretty good for me ...

Thank you ST001! I'll check it out. Much appreciated.
You can try also softick card export

Which of the two is recommended? I'm leaning toward the second one, as the description with ref to accessing drivers appears to suggest it is more stable.
Getting My Xda to be seen by Ubuntu
Is there anything out there that can make my Orbit be seen by Ubuntu as a storage device or such like ? I know theres nothing to get it to sync with anything on Ubuntu but maybe there is something that can get the phone to be seen so i can transfer MP3s and such across ?
WM5torage worked fine on my XDA II
WM5torage worked fine on my XDA. However "Card export" didn't work at all.
I had problems as I have a lot installed to my card and when you activate teh software it unmounts it from the device. So while you can access it on the PC the device can no longer see the card. So for me push email would have a problem as it used it for storage, apps wont run etc.
People, did you here about this?

Yes it's old but.. the thing that interests me is you look at the folders that he is browsing there is a destination called storage card and internal storage?? how?
just 2nd today, nothing really special in that vid.
I have been trying to find a decent way to read my collection of .PRC ebooks. I have buckets of these from over the years using mobipocket on both old windows mobile devices and my n95's.
Well I stumbled on a simple solution which really excited me - please forgive me if this has been posted before, I might have missed it and been struggling needlessly!
Install the amazon kindle app
Oh I love amazon.
Not only can you buy all new books through the app, which works very well. (I Bought an Ian M Banks book I didnt have for like a godiver or something) but you can copy your old PRC files into the kindle folder (it gets created after install..)
Launch the app, then they magically appear in your book list!
Whoop!
I am staggered! - I wonder how many I can put in there before it crashes.......?
Ahh nice find. I've been converting them to epub, slow but works with adiko. Amazon did buy Mobipocket out ages ago and heard they was going to kill it off. Guess they didn't, thank god.

YESSS!!! thank you for sharing! i was trying so hard to figure it out! it doesnt do the kindle azw format tho. but hey This is GREAT!
I have installed Kindle, but i don't find the kindle folder...
Folder:
It may be that you need to actually get a book first, I wouldnt have thought so though. I would recommend actually manually creating this folder on the root of your internal SD.
So plug it in via USB - select Mass storage mode - mount dem discs
Then manually create the folder on the first drive that apears, should be internal.

Hi, I've tried the trick, but it seems that it doesn't work for all prc files. I have some médical ebooks with a search feature in them, and kindle doesn't recognize them although they appear in the list after copying them into the right folder.
xcuse my question but how to name that folder on the internal sd
sdcard\kindle ???

" sdcard/kindle" ?????
thxb4
Thats right, on the root of your internal SD, simply create a folder called "kindle"
Not your external SD card!
I swear I did search first, even did a few general Google searches. Ultimately figured I'd try here.
So, my SD card is down to 500mb. I'm trying to clear up some space, and notice a file on the root of the card called .HPIMAGE.VFS. It's about 150mb. I tried to open it with root explorer, but it won't open it. So I long press on it and select 'open as text file', and root explorer force closes.
I Google searched, and found really random and confusing search results for it that made no sense to me.Thought I'd ask here If anyone has ever seen it, or familiar with it. I wanna delete it, but not if Android needs it. Oh, and when I plugged into a pc in mass storage/disk drive to try to open and inspect it, it doesn't show up on my card at all! That's the real kicker
I have no idea what it is and sure as hell don't remember ever downloading something like that.
If anyone knows anything about what this could be, or understands it, please let me know. It'd be much appreciated. Thank you.
Scott,
Do you happen to have (or have used that card in) a HP all-in-one printer? The .HPIMAGE.VFS file is a collection of thumbnails generated by the printer. That way when you put the card in the printer, it doesn't have to re-do the thumbnails and slow down scrolling through the pictures.
If you are not worried about the thumbnails (since the printer will regenerate the file), you can go ahead and remove it from your SD card. There is also an option in the preferences menu of the printer to stop the thumbnails from being generated.
Hope this helps.

Nivron, thanks so much man. I knew if I posted this here, at xda, someone far more tech savvy than myself would have some idea. Yeah, the search results I got did appear to indicate something about HP printer, and thumbnails, but also seemed to indicate a lot of confused people. (Like myself). I couldn't think of a time I used a printer (if in fact it was related to that). But your post jogged my memory enough that now I do remember I did exactly that on Halloween. Thanks so much man.
And toast, since it turns out this is entirely unrelated to Android or winmo, and by extension, xda, please feel free to delete. I love xda.
Again, thank you.
Glad you figured it out! XDA is a great place for info, indeed!

Hi!
Some day ago, I have seen the topic to show how to transfer some data from main to ExtSD. but now I could'nt find it agian! who help me to see it agian please?
Thanks
Hi. I don't think anyone understands what you mean.
Explain better, please?
Are you talking about simply moving files like movies for example from internal memory to external? Or are you talking about moving data for games from internal to external? For the latter, check out DirectoryBind. Here is a DirectoryBind guide for the Galaxy S III. It should work the same way for a Note II. Note the word should, because I haven't used it myself so I don't actually have any experience.

The principle it looks like some soft to move the soft from main (internal SD) to External SD to get more memory of the internal SD.
