Looking for SDHC driver for LOOX 720 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a driver so that a LOOX 720 will read SHDC cards? I've bought a SanDisk Extreme III 4 GB card and the PPC won't recognise it.

Hi.
I have a 4GB Card running im my Loox720.
In the original-state it didnt work.
But after I formatted it wit a (PC) program named "Card-Formatter" (or similar)
(guess, it was from Panasonic) it works perfectly.
Give it a try, google a bit and you´ll find the software (SD-Card-Formatter)
Good luck, and a lot of fun using it!

I might have an easy answer? It is worth a try. There is a small patch for SDHC for Loox N560 on the first post below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388364
I know it also works on a completely different device (both DELL Axim x51 with WM5 and another same model with WM6) so I am betting it works on the 720. I have used it on the N560 too. It is a little program which seems to interrupt the calls to the SD driver and I am using it with 16Gb SDHC card on my N560. Bliss!
As it installs as a program, you can always uninstall it if it does not work?
Good luck!

So, this driver seems to be only for WM5/6 and not for a WM2003 Device....
It causes an Error-Message.....this is not a valid cab for WinCE Setup......o similarly

Yup, WM5/6 only. At least you can un-install it!
Sorry, I forgot that the 720 is WM2003!

New reasons? Isd it possible to take a 8 GB SDHC Card to a Loox718/720?

The only Way, i think, is to use an special Adapter like these:

What for???????????????????
Because this is the most slowest PDA I holded ever in my hand.
I totally dissapointed with it.
If I install my main programs - not more - the free RAM will be maximum 23-24MB (after a hard reset it is 30-32MB), but when I use it, it decreases itself without any program running.
I start from 22.5MB after softreset, and when I use some programs it decreases (it's normal), but when I close them it is less time after time. So it is not enough to close a program. After 5-10 minutes with starting and closing some program it is 10-12MB free RAM memory without any program running!!!!!!
And what is my problem with it?
Hmmm....
For example a little complicated application (a navigation software) needs 10-15MB minimum.
So if you are lucky, you can start the program, but not more.
Don't imagine that you can use 2 or 3 (or forgive me 4) application simultanously.
That's very nice, isn't it?
Any idea to solve this sh*t?

Hi
Asukal already mounted 128MB RAM on mother board.
But unsuccessfull. Memory area does not change.
Storage card
U should try to install the software on the storrage card. Demanding programs like tomtom and high graffical games work great!.
When installing the program from the PC the add programs window opens (u know from active sync) There you can choose not to install the software on it's default location.
Above all that with WM5 you can also choose wether you want to install to your storrage card or on your memory.
Think of it like this:
On your PC:
Would you install your programs on precious RAM memory? That's why we use the hard disk.

You are in a total misunderstanding, sorry.
Though there are slots for extra 32MB each it cannot b upgraded as the occupied slots are differrent than those which are left empty.Hv tried desoldering the RAM but after desoldering this fact was revealed..so
not possible as of now
I totally agree with Thunder2210 and others that there is a sever shortage of RAM (Program Memory) on this device.
Installing programs on SD card has nothing to do with the available RAM (Program Memory to be more precise). Installing programs on SD card only saves you the ROM (Storage Memory) which is not an issue anyways. The main problem is program memory and as rightly said by some in this thread that this gradually depletes as you work with your device after a soft reset. Try to open a very large web page such as the ones which review pocket pc devices with a lot of comparative pictures and your browser will soon run short of memory ultimately freezing your device.
However I fear that nothing can be done about this. This is probably an issue or limitation that Windows mobile 2005 operating system cannot address memory beyond 64 MB. Probably this is the reason that you must have seen recent devices where the Storage Memory (ROM) is higher than 128 MB but nothing is done about the RAM which remains at 64 MB. Unfortunately what we need is more RAM and not ROM.

just my 2 cents:
you may remember, the first device running windows mobile 5 was the good old XDA2, which is basically an old WM2003 device with 128mb ram and 64mb rom, where only 32mb is available for the user. but: the windows mobile running on this version (modified by some brave and good people here) is able to address all the ram, yes and there are different versions available:
128mb ram for running programs but no ramdisk for storing programs
96mb for running programs and 32mb reserved for ramdisk
64mb for running programs and 64mb reserved for ramdisk
etc. etc.
while i was using my XDA2 i have preferred the 96mb ram solution and wm5 was fully able to use those 96mb. even it is an old device, can you imagine how smooth i.e. mobile navigator 5 was running with 64-70mb of free ram (and overclocked from 400 to 530mhz)? it was lots of fun! htc universal is a piece of hightech sh*t, nothing for the real world use, compared to XDA2. i still have mine only for the vga screen otherwise i would have selled it long ago.

I'm with You Pete. If there is a VGA-PDA-Phone with 128MB RAM I would sell my Jasjar immediately. But there are no better ones. Only worse.

lack of ram on Universal
not an upgrade unfortunatly but certainly a help is a close button that actually closes things rather than just putting them in the background,
and heres a link to the program i use
http://www.pocketgear.com/products_search.asp
its a nice little program so doesn't eat your rom and its unobtrusive so wont clog up your today screen

Can U please fix the link, it does not work.
i know from my expreiance with BA WM5 rom editing that just soldering the ram on the board is not enough, you will need to find the hex values in the (decrypted) rom file that decideds how much ram the system partitions for itself on boot.
e.g - in BA wm5 roms you can edit these values so that some of the ram is left unpartitioned, leaving it free to be used as a ramdisk.
I see no reason why if someone found these values in a universal rom, combined with soldering on extra ramchips, they could reverse the process and increase the memory windows uses.

How to run software for PDAs on Smartphones

Hi everyone,
I have just recently switched from Qtek 9100(identical to I-mate K-JAM, 02 mini S and MDA Vario) to Qtek 8310 (identical to I-mate SP5 and O2 Orion). None of the programs I used to work with can install on my new phone. I have heard that maybe you have to emulate touchscreen in order for them to work.
Can somebody help with thi problem?
Thank you
Smartphone OS lacks lots of functions/features that are present on a PocketPC. Not only the touchscreen is missing, search microsoft.com for the complete list of differences. Generally it is impossible to force any complex PocketPC app to work on smartphone. But the reverse process is not difficult - most of smartphone apps can be patched to run on a PocketPC.
recall something about wm2005 being able to run smartphone applications
not sure if wm2005 for smartP's can also do pda applications
there is also the issue of smartphones being much less powerfull then pda's to think about
Maybe there is an option, or.... ?
Thanks guys, as for the hardware specs of the phone they are the same as my previous PDA - CPU is TI OMAP 200Mhz, 64ROM, 128 RAM, I have also inserted 1GB mini SD card and the OS is Windows Mobile 5.0.
If anyone can help with this I am still hoping to find a solution

Is there a patch that gives the Trinity full sdhc compatability for it's mini sd slot?

Please confirm I'm doing the right thing !!

Hello everyone,
This is my first thread and I need some advice as I'm shi**ing it about updating my PDA2K WM03SE Model: PH20B to WM6.
I want to try this upgrade as I spent £600 plus on this thing & I've had to soft reset some 400 times over the past 4 years. I've now stripped everything out, hard reset & installed about 4 programmes & now find my new SD 4 gig card can't be recognised, time to do something before I throw this thing at the wall.
My questions are:
1. Will the unit be more stable
2. Will my programmes Pocket Player & TomTom Navigator still register & work
3. Will the PPC recognise 4Gig cards
4. Is the upgrade as easy as it looks
5. Is WM6 far superior to WM03SE
Thanks & I look forward to replies, I hope.

Should be. Just keep in mind that 2003 was designed to run on the phone, WM6 wasn't. WM6 on the angel is a collection of patches and files from other phones.

Only if the card is not an SDHC card. I have a 4 gig topram SD card that worked fine in my old angel. The only catch was that accessing data on the card was slower than a smaller card due to the larger amount of memory and CPU needed to deal with the larger space addressing.

I found it to be very easy, just make sure you follow every step in the wiki exactly.

I think so. It feels much faster than WM5. I can't compare to 2003 as I upgraded mine to WM5 as soon as I received my angel and never tried 2003.
Thanks, what a reply.
Thanks for that, what a great reply.
Just what I needed & I thought ubuntu forum was the only helpful one out there.
Thanks a lot !!!!!

kingston micro sd card 16 Go class 10

Hi all
i've just bought this card.
i try to format this card with all size buffer : 4096 8092 32k 64k...
and i have always lag when i use it on my rhodium with athineos rom 23563 and 4.49.25.91 radio.
I use my card to stock a lot of documents, files, mp3. when i use it from my PC, it's very fast between 8-9mo to 13-14 Mo => very good for trasnfer
But when i put it inside my rhodium, it cant search music on music tab, sometimes on total commander it freeze about 1 or 2 minutes!, when i open tomtom it freeze too...:s
i think with a sdcard like that it will be a great experience..but now i lost many hours to test without succeed...:s
someone can help me please?
edit : for use normaly my phone, i need to use my old sdcard 8go :'( :'(

I don't think there's such a thing as a class 10. It's 2, 4 or 6.
So your card might be a class 2 which is the slowest.
lool no no it's a class 10 for sure !
I've seen other users on these forums what have had trouble with Kingston MicroSD cards. They seem to have some issues working on the Rhodium.

I have an Adata 16gb class 6 and I have about 15.5gb of data on it with most of that being music. It takes about 5 seconds to start my music so you have a problem. I recommend you returning your card for a new one.
i had a kingston 16GB. i orderd it online, the price should have been a hint that it was afake. after purchasing i investigated fake before it arrived so i would know what to look for. it arrived looking legit , it even had the kingston paperwork and packaging, but it was a fake.
when i put in my pc and foramted it came back a 1GB stick. ya might try to format and see what happens.
oops just re read your post, omit my blabbing

I REPLY:
My card: Bought March 2010 at Newegg #20-139-120 "FLASH 16G|KST MICSDHC SDC10/16GB" (card + adapter)
I ran the Kingston Validation tool, since there are knockoffs out there, and got the Kingston "web_report" - verifying the serial and the license code.
Has run flawlessly and FAST on EnergyROM 23xxx (currently running Energy.RHODIUM.23673.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24)
Total commander runs fast, no freezes. Currently loaded with only 771 items and 248mb, though, so it might not be a fair test.
I placed it in the SD adapter and plugged it into PC, and ran Disk Checker v3.3 (30 day trial from rssoftlab.com) and this is what it says: Kingston FAT32 512 bytes/sector 64 sectors/cluster (16gb, no partitions)
Saw a thread with a interesting HP utility at item #8 for someone who had a SD Card problem. Thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667513
-- points to files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
Anyway, I hope someone has an answer for you. I don't know if anything I have written is helpful or not...
