Use P3300 as a external drive / memory stick - P3300, MDA Compact III General

The computers at my work have allow connection via USB cables but no active sync. On my P3300 all that happens is the battery is charged.
Other peoples mobile phones have the facility to switch from Phone mode to "data mode". This then allows their phones memory card to be read like an external drive or memory stick. Files etc. can then be transferred.
Is there a way to do this on my P3300 ?

Yes, there is a program called WM5Storage that makes the P3300 microSD memorycard behave as a USB stick. No need for active sync: detected as USB memory upon connecting P3300 to computer via USB.
If googling here for WM5Storage unsuceesfull, try www.modaco.com.
(not withstanding the wm5 name,it works also in wm6 P3300)

XDA IIi - such a thing as a USB adapter

Hi,
I am in the process of selecting a photo storage device - basically a portable hard disk with a USB connector. However I'd like to use the screen on my XDA to view photos on the device (and use other files on there).
Is there an adapter available that will let my XDA IIi read the USB device via its MMC/SD slot, or any other way to read such a device?
Many thanks for any help or advice ...
the xda's cant do usb host
but with xda2's you may be able to get the backpack and then use
a CF usb host card
but i never heard about anybody who did it
i dont know if the xda2 backpack works with xda2i
and i never heard about a SD card which had usb host
SD card
My own experience has been as follows.
I have a 1GB SD card and a small card reader with USB connection.
If I transfer JPEGs from PC or camera onto SD and then put SD into XDAII. I cannot view them on the XDA.
If I put SD card into XDAII and, it into cradle, I can drag and drop JPEGs via Active synch from PC to XDAII onto SD card and can view them on XDA and also when I remove SD card and place in reader connected to PC. So nearly universal create/view. After Activesynch coversion files appear to be same where JPEG used but something must be different.
Hope this helps.

USB periphery connections. Artemis O2 Orbit

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone have experience connection USB devices to Artemis?
USN HDD, Card readers. USB hubs.
I am thinking of trying to connect an USB HDD but just wanted to know if anyone done it before
Sofaford, if you get this working let us know over at http://www.xda-orbit.com
I would love to be able to use my external laptop hard drive with my orbit
Due to the USB bus structure ,it is not possible to connect other devices except a host like a PC to the Artemis. The Artemis has only a device controller on board, but You need a host controller, if You will link the USB HDD to the PDA. There are some other PDA's with build in hosts in the market
Got a nas hard drive works on my wireless network. Good at home. Is there a wifi adaptor to use hd out of network range?

Activesync to "Mass Storage Device" USB Dongle - possible?

I have a Kaiser and a car stereo (Blaupunkt Hamburg) with a USB port. The car stereo can read "Mass Storage Devices" - ie USB flash drives. However, HTC phones are Activesync not MSDs.
You can get software to run on your PPC, such as Softick Card Export, that turns the PPC into a MSD, but this locks the storage card, so other software (eg TomTom satnav) cannot run on the phone whilst the device is in MSD mode. I am not sure if this is a hardware limitation or a limitation of softick's software, they have not gotten back to me on that one.
So I got to thinking - is it possible to make a USB dongle that converts Activesync to MSD? It would have to wrap the protocols or something but I guess it is within the realms of feasability.
I just want a solution so that I can have TomTom running on my phone screen, but still browse the music stored on my phone's SD card on my car stereo head unit.
Any ideas?
Have you tried WM5torage? It's free and I believe it has an option to avoid locking the SD card.

Hello overyone
In near future I'll recieved my new HTC wildfire s but could find info about
USB possbility it's mean that usb can menage flashmemory, memory card reader, keyboard, mouse and other.
If USB has only client. how I can connect other type memory card then micro sd
it has only client, you cannot connect in diferent ways. try on some custom roms but I dont think that will be possible, becouse this feature is av. from Android 3
