How do I get programs that are installed on my device to find files on my storage card? eg. I have Ms Pocket Streets installed on the device, but when it starts it opens a page which has a drop down menu for "All Folders". "All Folders" shows only folders on the device and not my SD card. This happens with all programs. As you can imagine my 1 Gig SD card is badly under utilized as I have to store all files in the device. I use to have a Nokia 9210, which occasionally suffered this problem, but a reset fixed it. Is there an undocumented reset to fix this? Or is it a problem with SD cards? Could I set up a shortcut to the storage card and if so, how do I do it?
I assume you can "see" the MMC card from File Explorer
I have an XDAIIs which refuses to recognise any SD cards at all, but will work happily with MMC cards
in file explorer, go to root....i.e. "My Device"
then you should see "storage card".....tap it and you should be off...
BAM!!!
good luck....

And it's fast

yeah, I know that SD is faster than MMC, but my XDA simply refuses to read any SD cards - and I've tried 6 or so
Damm, never should have wrote that message. My SD card just dissapered and had to do a Soft Reset to get it back........................
DAMM i'm getting tired of constantly having to reset it to use SD :twisted:
Rejoice - My SD_Card has come back
My 1 Gig SD Card is now recognized by ALL my programs. I'm not sure which changes caused it to come back, but here's what I remember I did.
1. I found a zero length file on the device called ignore_my_docs & I copied it to the root directory on my SD_Card.
2. I remapped my SD_Card & renamed it in Pocket Mechanic (Storage Folders - view & configure the storage card mount folders name)
and
3. I installed & uninstalled MVP movie player & "voila" everything was fixed.
You might think step 2 was the answer but I checked after this and the card still wasn't recognized. I have noticed that another 4k file has appeared in the SD Card root directory simply named dummy. I don't know if my PPC is trying to tell me something.
I'm guessing what actually fixed it is that the movie player had a playlist generator & I'm thinking that fixed the problem of the device finding the card, but your guess is as good as mine.
I'd certainly be interested in peoples view and if what I've done works on anyone elses PPC.
PS. Tried to FTP both v small files but FTP keeps rejecting :-(

What do you mean "remapped" the SD card, simply rename the moint point in pocket mechanic?
I'm sure I've tried renaming the moint point but pocket mechanic doesn't even recognise my Sd storage card. I'll play around some more
ANOTHER UPDATE
A colleague at work had the same problem. We transfered a powerpoint presentation to his storage card (1gig SD Card) and when we loaded ClearVue PPT viewer on O2 XDA IIs it didn't list in all folders.
I created a folder on the storage card called My Powerpoint and beamed "dummy" & "ignore_my_docs" to him we tried to transfer both to the root directory on his device, but it reported that "ignore_my _docs" already existed. I think it might be a hidden file.
So after transferring dummy into the root directory we reloaded ClearVue PPT viewer and My Powerpoint appeared in the All Folders list. We selected it and there was the presentation.
It works for me......
Hmmmm...
Well my problem has got worse...
I bought a new 1Gb MMC card since I thought my machine was not reading SD cards and it doesn't work!!!!!. My 128Mb card is fine, but I've reformatted the new card, sowrn at it, pleaded with it etc, but pocket mechanic doesn't even see it.
So I can not read any SD cards and only one of my two MMC cards, but all the cards read fine in my PC
GRRRR!!!!! :evil: :evil:
anybody got any ideas?

You may have already sorted this but...
I had exactly the same problem with my 1GB PNY SD card it read fine in my pc but not in my mda. I compared it to my old 256 MMC and noticed the card was a bit warped and the bit where the metal contacts are was a bit thinner. So (I know this sounds drastic :? ) I bent the card slightly :shock: (not too much pressure) which made all the contacts touch the relevent bits in the slot and it's worked ok since.
Hope this helps
I'll try anything - which way did you bend it? I presume convex with the connectors on the outside radius
Thanks
Chris
yes that was the way... But just try it both ways and stick it in.. Not too much though, just till you feel a bit of resistance.
Hello!
I just purchased a new 4GB Sd card for my HTC Universal and I'd like to test it, so I can garantee it's 150x (it's a OEM one).
Is it possible, either doing it on PPC or on laptop (I have card reader)?
Which software to use?
Best regards,
Deiota
pocket mechanics for pda
on pc you can use any hd benchmark program and just pick the sdreader
or you can use total commander and copy stuff to the card total commander tell at what speed it's transfered
but on the pda it will never run full speed
sd interfaces on pda's cant keep up with new sd cards speeds at all
i have used the micro SD card to install Copilot and although the installation was done to the phone rather than the storage card it still requires the storage card to run.
Is there a way around this and run copilot without having the micro sd card in as i want to be able to have CoPilot and also get a new micro sd to store music etc on.
Thanks,
Chris
I dont use copilot myslef I use tomtom. However I would suggest that the program and maps voices etc will be to large to fit on the device, why not get a 2 gig micro sd card and have your music on it aswell.
As I said I dont use co pilot but I cant see you getting everything on the device. I did read somewhere that you can get a 4 gig card but never seen one myself or indeed have never had confirmation it will work.
Hope this helps
Never thought of transferring the Copilot SD data to a new bigger card through the PC as i thought it was too small but with the adapter will obviously fit in the card reader no problem. Thanks alot
I know that once you have a memory card formatted for a phone on wp7 its basically tied to that phone (something that i understand MS wanted to protect applications). But has anyone looked into the possiblity of developing a utility that would be able to recognize a already wp7 formatted memory card and restore it to a standard fat16 or fat32 format.
I'm just wondering because i know the n97 i believe, is able to reformat microSD cards so that they can once again be used, but its not the most popular phone out there, and eventually I would like to upgrade the memory card in my phone from 16GB to 32GB. or take it with me if i were to upgrade from my focus this year (depending on what else might come out).
Actually, my friend happens to own a Samsung Focus, and I can tell you that just about every Symbian phone that supports mircoSD(HC) will format the card just fine.
I wonder if anyone has tried to see if a virtual or emulated Symbian running in Windows or Linux will do the same...or if that is even possible.
Several apps are taking too long to load. Namely, MS Office including Notes. I seem to recall a registry mod that addressed the issue and it had to do with networked folders or a large memory card (searched many forums, many ways but could not find it again). It appears the problem may be with the 8GB microsd card installed and these programs scanning memory before opening. When the card is removed, the programs operate quickly. Previously, I had a 2GB card and did not notice any issues. I would prefer a default folder being opened, so I can browse for files manually. Is this possible?

iSS Essentials

I have not had this problem might want to check your memory and make sure other apps are not hogging it
