Hi, i have searched the forum for an answer but i had no luck, plenty of threads on how to map a drive of a PC onto your Universal but not the other way round, i have a folder on my SD card that has all my simple system tools for PC in it and i would like to be able to go to a WiFi network and be able to access the folder from any PC regardless of activesync.
I hope i didn't make my request too confusing but im sure you will know what i mean because it would be very usful
Thank you so much for your time on replying in advance
The best software for you is WM5torage.
By Ingvarr:This program will export the flash memory card as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. It works with many (not all) Smartphones and PDAs on the market that use WM5 as OS.
Latest version is v1.53 - it's free , fully working Mass Storage Software working with WM5.0 :
You can find previous version here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411 or new after some changes here:
Thats Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply, but i don't think i didn't explane it right, i already have a program for doing the USB mass storge,its called 'Card Export 2', its brilliant and so fast, but thats not what im looking for because you still have to physicly plug your phone in to a PC, i want to be able to 'SHARE' a folder on my phone, i.e Mydevice\my document\STUFF, just like you do on a PC, and then be able to run/edit/copy/paste stuff in that folder from another PC using WiFi, so in other when i go into work and connect my phone to the network using WiFi i want to be able to go to any desktop and access my files on my phone without wires, i.e in explorer type-
\\myphone\stuff
('myphone' being the name of my device & 'stuff' being the shared folder on my phone)
have i made it any clearer?
please let me know if im not making myself clear
hi jab1a,
in the past i was also dreamin about a solution you have described. in the meantime i have learned by other posts that this is not possible as providing drives or folders as a network ressource is not implemented in windows mobile. so no way of getting an easy solution for that. but in other cases wm5torage works very well for me until somebody has worked out a way for wireless sharing of folders.
best regards

Hi,
I use a piece of software called V m Network Browser. lets you copy and paste files and play files over the wifi network.
Great app
its shareware but small price for a good piece of software.
hope this helps
hi nightspider,
thanks for your input. just one question left: is this software running on your desktop/server pc and it allows to play around with files on your mobile device or do you run the software on your mobile device and play around with files on your desktop/server pc?
greetings
peter
It was small misunderstanding from me :wink: . So maybe ( not tested on WiFi) idea of the ftp server on PDA :?: ?
You cand find ShareIt FTP( no shure if working on WM5.0 :?: ) http://www.noisette-software.com/products/pocketpc/ShareIt/
Hi peter_altherr
Yes it runs on the Pocket pc nothing needed on the desktop pc apart from the shared folders
Hi
Please help me before i go completely mad. I cannot get those pesky maps to install. I am installing from the original tomtom 5 cds in the Software + maps of western Europe version. The main software and UK jane voice all install Ok. But when i insert the second cd and select any of the UK maps option the install programjust disapears. I tried doing a Hard reset on my Universal and starting again. Still get nothing. When i run the TT sw it says "no maps found".
Then i stumbled accross this thread read it through and see that there are many more hurdles needed after i get the maps but found a few usefull threads on maps so. I did another hard reset and tried the suggestion of copying the Cab files direct to my SD card and running from there this time I get the message "Installation of Great_Britain_Plus was unscessful" I have tried this on 2 different SD cards a 1 gb and a 4gb both with plenty of space.
I would be really greatful for a step by step guide or a pointer to the correct thread on this or any other site. I am even happy to pay someone who lives in London to install for me. I am going away on a driving holliday in the UK next week and was hoping to use GPS for the trip but am feeling a bit dissapointed about it now.
Many thanks for any helpfull suggestions
Regards
Try putting the SD card in a reader and install the new map to the card reader (you get the location - where to install option during the install process) instead of on the PDA through active sync. Then simply open Tomtom and go to options and select change map and select from the one/s that you have installed through the card reader.
Hope this makes sense, and possible helps
put the maps into your root of storage card , remeber to keep the orginal names of foldesr. it looks like this in my case..
\storage card\great_britain-map.v5.66
you also have CurrentMap.dat file put in the TomTom folder in My Documents and creat empty TomTom folder in storage card. voices should be put it Voices folder of the storage card .
cheers, cudo
hope it helps ..
get the lastest update from the tomtom website for the universal otherwise youll have trouble getting it to work the isnt set to write protect is it
TomTom 5 latest version is 5.21. That said, the map installation software is horrible.
The only way to install the maps is to specify to a memory card. Do not use the install to Pocket PC or Folder. Select Other and use a memory card.
It goes very slowly ... so have some patience, get some coffee/tea/snacks while you do this.
I can't believe that this is a commercial software. It just not workable in this manner.
Hello all,
I've written a watchdog that allows to catch a moment when the storage card is corrupted and softreset before the driver flushes FAT and root folder.
More details are here:
http://www.nixie.narod.ru/sdsentry/index-en.htm
I hope this will help you.
Any feedback is welcome.
I'm online with MSN [email protected] (also it is my email)
BTW, it doesn't matter what brand and size of the storage card is.
I have Kingston 1GB, and _it happens.
Thankyou for your work, Nikolay. It is apreciated.
I have had the software installed for a couple of days, and all is well.
Same here Nickolay, I have already posted a reply to your post at Spb Club forum.
I have your piece of code installed for few days and haven't seen the red icon, yet. Hope never will. Tnx .... as your code can save some nerves
I have tried your program but it keeps throwing up a corruption warning saying that there is an empty directory - Program Files on the storage card (which there is - I guess it is empty because I have no apps installed on the card)
Any suggestions?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Create a file in that folder...
Does anyone know the workaround with the WM5torage program?.....everytime i launch this app the SD-Sentry red icon appears saying that there is a corruption but when i check the storage card its fine.......thanks in advance
WM5torage disables the storage card for the orbit as long as it is active. During that time it is only accessible by the PC. Other programs like Tomtom do not work, because they can't find their data on the card. So does SDsentry.
Dear programmer,
your program seems to be a fine PlugIn for the XDA-Error with destroyed directorys oon the SD-Card.
Unfortunately your program is working in english devices only as it seems.
In german devices where the storage card is named "Speicherkarte" from the german WM5 your program will creating a new folder named "storage card" where it puts its check-files SdSentry.txt into each existing directory. No SdSentry.txt-file in any Dirs on the storage card.
In the dialogwindow of SdSentry the storage card is names "Speicherkarte".
The real storage card is not recogniced and protected in this way, as I assume.
Or did I something wrong?
Will you program a german version of SdSentry too?
I would be very glad about.
because of the described problem, I wrote a mail to the programer of SdSentry.
A solution was coming back immediately, how to install SdSentry im devices with other WM5-languages than english.
The program has a little bug to find the real storage card and creates instead a directory named "storage card" in the root of the device, that contains two directorys named "My Documents" and "Programme". In each of this three folders SdSentry creates a txt-file "SdSentry.txt" for verifiing the directury-structure for accessibility later.
For getting SdSentry working on german devices (analog other languages), copy following files:
\\storage card\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte(or however the name of your real storage card is)\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\My Documents\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\My Documents\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\Programme\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\Programme\SdSentry.txt
After copying the three files, you can delete the folder \\storage card with its subdirs "My Documents" and "Programme"
Since I've did this modifications, SdSentry seems to work well on my german-XDA Orbit.
Hoping it avoids more crashs of my SD-Card.
What a fun sitting in the car and loosing Navi, adresses and all tasks for today out of the HTC. May driving back to office and reinstalling the device.
I won't count how much time cause of this this worthless phone I had loosen last weeks.
Hello people
Anyone knows what values do I have to change to the registry in a WM6 Qtek9000 in order to move the /temp/ directory used by RDC (where the bcache files are stored) back to main memory?
When I had the temp folder into ppc memory it worked ok, but since I moved it to the storage card RDC keeps disconnecting, and I want to test if the move of the /temp/ folder to storage card is responsible.
I'm using Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE
Thank you in advance
PS: can anyone recommend me a good remote utility for WM?
hi there, im using a wizard on wm5 but would like to know this key if anyone has it, t mobile filled my phone up quite a lot with rubbish and im not yet ready to go fiddling with custom roms just yet.
would be good to be able to move this file to card.
cheers.
Hi All,
Anyone know how to install Tomtom Navigator on Storage card?
Similar question applies to other CABs I have I would like to know for those which do not offer choice of destination installation, how to install either alter tha cab to give the choice or other solution?
Please can you help?
I asked similar question earlier but only answer I had was to use WINCE CAB Manager which I don't know how to change...
Thanks
Whenever I install Navigator it gives me the choice of storage card or device. Do you not get those choices? And it still installs a lot of files to the device even though I chose storage card, I think it's unavoidable.
Can you send me a link of TomTom Navigation software so I would discover out and tell you ?
The way I did it was to install TomTom onto the devices internal memory as normal then move the program files directory etc over. Point the shortcuts into the correct exe location and it all works perfectly fine. Even after flashing the device several times since I'm as yet to reinstall it as I don't need to!
