So, I did the registry hack and I'm 100% sure I did it correctly. I went to HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders and there I changed the Cache, Cookies, and History keys to point to \Storage Card\Pocket IE and I created the folders on my Storage Card. And I soft reset the device.
But it's not working. I know SOMETHING happened because it created some Cookies, Temporary Internet Files, and History directories in the \Windows directory instead of the \Windows\guest\ directory where the stuff is stored by default. But it refuses to use the Storage Card for these files. I can't figure out why it's ignoring my Storage Card.
This is with vp3G 3.0.0 if it matters.

I have problem with Pocket IE cache in storage card since i use the offical wm6. I have tested almost all the offical wm6, but the problem is not solved.
Pocket IE will clear its History and Temporary Internet Files that was saved in storage card last time.
Hope some one can help us.
Same problem

Hi,
I did it the same way and it works like a charm on Schaps 3.57a.
I created the new folders on the storage card, edited the registry
keys and SR. After that I could delete the corresponding folders
in \Windows and \Windoes\Profiles\guest and the files are stored
on storage card as they should.
Olioaglio
Did you consider the fact that 'Storage Card' might be named differently on your device - depending on the language ?
In the German Version you have to use 'Speicherkarte' in the path-name instead of 'Storage Card' ...
CDS
It should work. I use the following reg settings, which appear to be what you posted...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\\Storage Card\\IE Mobile\\Temporary Internet Files"
"Cookies"="\\Storage Card\\IE Mobile\\Cookies"
"History"="\\Storage Card\\IE Mobile\\History"
You don't create those folders, the device will automatically.
I never took the time to check or delete the folders on the device as after I flash a new ROM my history and cookies are still intact.
I've personally been using that since my Blue Angel daze back in 2005. I use it on every ROM I flash, be it on my Wizard or my Hermes and have never had a problem.
I included a quick cab with those settings. (Extracted from my WM6 cab in my sig)
Enjoy.
I don't know how or why, but your CAB worked when my own registry edit did not. Thank you!!
I don't solved the problem however .
Have any other way ?
solution
i have found the solution. its look like the pocket ie doesnt support long names on path to temporary internet files.
do not create any folder.
using a registry editor change the values of the three item
cache
history
cookies
and use \storage card\pocketIE\* for each one
note there is NO SPACE in "pocketIE"
then turn off and on your phone and go to ie
the folders will be create automatically and the files are stored in sd
thats work great for me, i try anything, this way is the only one work for me.
i have wm6 original
let Ienternet explorer create the folders, thats the solution.

i try with the space and didnt work, i have two htc tytn and both with the same problem about the ie cache. its solve when i have put pocketIE instead with the space.
both are spanish tytns
you can try until it works for you, i just give my solution
Either way worked. Succesfully it automaticcally create those files on storage card.
But I found that IE opens very slow...too slow and finally got it! All the folders will be fill up with files cache from web pages and will remain there until I exit the IE. Even after softreset also those files are still there.
But.... when I re-start the IE, then it will hang longtime. It is clearing all the files, history etc in the cache until no more exsist, then only IE opened.
So everytime I re-open IE it starts in zero history, clean Temporary files except cookies only. Then when surfing it builds those cache files again and remains when exit, but when restart the IE, then it takes time to open again because it will start to clear all cache files again.

Hi,
I'm experiencing problems with PocketIE.
Simply it doesn't not load pages: as soon as I tap Go or I give Enter, it says "Connecting..." in the bottom bar, then 0 KB, then nothing again, and does not load anything!
It simply stays idle on the default home page!
Every other application is able to use my internet connection.
Any suggestions
Ciao, ErMeglio
Looks like you have a connection issue: problem is not PocketIE, but your PDA don't connect to internet.
Just to be sure, try istalling other browsers: OperaMini, etc. I bet, other browsers will not connect, too.
Try to check internet connection

This happened to me when i imported my config XML using advanced config.. the only way to fix it is to hard reset i think.
I discovered this because I wanted to install signed OperaMini in my own language as I always did: downloading from IE by Mobile. That's the only way to get it signed, since suggestions I found on other threads didn't work(MANIFEST modify).
The fact is this situation is after an HR and Internet works perfectly: WLM is listening "as items arrive" and so my Exchange email set in Active Sync.
BUT, this is also after me messing with SDConfig.txt...I've set all my usual apps and some xml and this:

actually makes sense.Infact one of the XML I make SDConfig.txt import is the one exported from AdvanedConfig, just after my personalizations. I don't remember if I did import it again by the app another time after HR, but I don't think so. Did you try importing it differently(SDConfig, other apps)? I'd like to understand if it's the xml itself, or the importing from the AdvConf app.
I've just noticed that the index file of IE cache (on sd according to my xml) is somehow "locked": I can't delete it. It could be IE can't write there too.
I'm doing a complete loong scan disk of my Micro by Windows Vista (even if I never had a problem, it always complains about corruption, so let's try and see what Mr. Bill can do )...then I'll delete cache from pc and try again...
I've much to learn to get my SDConfig work in all its parts
@abusalza
Yes, I'm using PDACornerPro.V22 but posted separately because this issue was not there at first, so it's -99%- sure it isn't your rom's fault, thanks for interesting
As soon as I get everything working through SDConfig, I'll go for final v23, I see you're uploading
[UPDATE]
Ok, just did the scandisk and it found 450MB of damaged files! I really don't know where and how, but I deleted the so-big FOUND.000 directory it made and didn't really understand where all that stuff came from.I deleted any file into IE's cache dirs too but no luck with IE, same matter.
Will flash V23, make SDAutoRun do its duties and see...
If it's confirmed to be an AdvConf matter, why don't we discuss it with Schap?
Well, just to let you or someone who comes here later know how this story finished, I found which was the matter!
With AdvancedConfig I changed the Application Data directory and moved it to storage card.
Seems IE didn't like that tweak: I simply changed it to \Application Data again and woilà, IE started working
Thanks for pointing me to the solution

ok, for FINAL FANTASY 3 android, I have been struggling for over two weeks to get this thing to work on my phone. My most common error was lack of space on my phone. I've gone through deleting apps trying to make enough room for it, but it wont install.
XPERIA PLAY has 300mb of internal memory (which is CRAP!). I have a 32gig micro SD card (mostly for games), but there's always the APK file (which is usually a couple megabytes) which installs the game, then the SD card content which goes onto the SD card.
I've been able to free up about 191mb on my phone, but it still wouldn't install. After two weeks of failed attempts to download an .APK file, I decided to buy it. Turns out, it looks like it's 172mb.
Anyway, I bought it...but I'm having difficulty installing it.

apparently it is 172 mb. I only had like 100MB free...so I just went through deleting ANY apps I could to get 191mb free...but it still wont install!
So, I'll keep working on this and hopefully I can get it working. I'm getting a refund and I'll keep trying with standard APK files.
After checking a couple things, I looked up APPS I could delete (note; I have a rooted phone), and so using ROOT EXPLORER, I googled some apps pre-installed on the phone which were safe to delete to free up more space. Somehow, I deleted som'n which allows me to view pictures. So, the image below (not mine..I just googled it)
I use that "music/image/video" widget thingy a lot for images..but it doesn't respond. If I use root explorer to get to my images...the error pops up that there are no suitable apps to view the image with. I tried to download a free app for image viewing..but they wont work.
I feel like an idiot...but does anyone have the .APK file I need for viewing images (preferably the one that comes with Xperia play). Or, does anyone have a link for all the default apk's that come with Xperia play (like a back up copy). Stupid me, I didn't back up my APK's and I don't know what I deleted which is dis-allowing the photo's from viewing.
Thanks in advance.

"he" is a she. If you look closely, you'll find my name is Nina (thought the "girl gamer" gave that away)
what firmware are you using, that problem happens when the app is for newer firmwares and the user is using an old firmware ,have you tried forcing the app in system then apps then reboot ?
Edit. sorry I didnt look at your name nina and didnt notice the girl gamer

I'm still using GINGERBREAD 2.3.2.
I've tried multiple times to use PC companion
to update the phone (at first, to IceCream Sandwich, but I heard that SONY isn't releasing a firmware update for Xperia play. Then when I heard JellyBean was released, I tried to upgrade again. The problem is, Sony PC Companion wont connect to the phone.
Xperia play has two form of connecting to a computer. 1 is "media storage mode" and 2 is "media transfer mode". Storage is for accessing the MICRO SD card and transfer mode is for the PC companion upgrade etc.
I'd like another way to upgrade it, but I dunno how.
have you got the correct drivers installed otherwise it will not detect your xperia play ?
Shaun27
I have uninstalled and re-install the program multiple times. In fact, this last year since I've had an xperia play, I've never been able to get the phone to connect to the program. Tried different USB ports + different USB cables. Even brought my phone to a friends' place who has an xperia play who updated his phone, and my phone wouldn't connect.
The drivers are NOT the program (pc companion)
You need to install it to make the computer able to communicate with the phone

I think she is saying her freind has the correct drivers but it still didnt work.Have you used flashtool before if so you can flash the newer firmware you require but if you really only need the gallery app then I wouldnt mess about with updating because 2.3.3 is probably the most stable for playing games . you can install the gallery app just post a thread on here asking for the stock gallery app from the 2.3.3 firmware
edit ,your on 2.3.2 the same as me at the moment I have just tried installing the apk sunjay posted and I get the same error so you defiantly need the 2.3.2 gallery apk then it will install .
two quick and small updates;
I was able to find a gallery app which basically does the same thing. It's not exactly what I was hoping for...but i'll get by with it now.
secondly, someone recommended me an app called link2sd (which admittedly I didn't expect to work).
Installed link2sd. There's a feature in there where you can control install location (internal or external)
I selected external, and launched final fantasy 3 ask to install it, and it installed in seconds. It's now downloading the 170mb...
this looks promising!
I was going to say just install one from the play store ,i think there is one called 3d gallery thats very similar
NEW ISSUE (note; thanks you guys for your feedback on the previous one)
I installed Xperia CWM Auto-installer (mostly because I have never experienced booting up my phone in recover mode...so I thought this would do it...it didn't!)
I selected the "install cwm" button which installed with a checkmark. I then clicked on the "reboot into recovery" button.
Now, every time I turn my phone off, and plug it in to charge the battery, it turns itself back on.
If I turn my phone off without being plugged in, it stays off. But when it's plugged in, it'll turn itself back on.
I've even turned it off and waited a couple minutes, then plugged it in (to charge it) and within seconds the "sony xperia" logo appears and it turns on.
i've uninstalled and re-installed and uninstalled this app a couple times and tried to make it stop, but it keeps re-booting every time I plug it in to charge. In my experience, I make sure I don't have it plugged in all night/over night to preserve the battery. I try and charge it every other night and I prefer to have the phone turned off for the recharge. I don't want the phone ON all the time. And I don't want the phone turned on overnight (plugged in charging).
Any feedback please?

Fellows, what the heck is this folder named .SIc-yJMAhEcjs6wmSi9Uhdeyr_M= that stays in the SD Card and comes back even if deleted?
I thought this folder is exclusive to an app I installed on my Play but just recently after I bought a 2nd hand Xperia Go for everyday use that I noticed it also has this folder both in internal and external SD. Also, when I connect my USB Flash Drive via OTG, this same folder is created in it, too.
Any ideas? And is this dangerous?

yes potentially dangerous, that file sounds bad, looks to me like a corrupted sector on your SD card, these files usually can came from excessive bad mounts/ dismounts on windows side aka a faulty usb? and let me guess the file size says something ridiculous like 24GB? if not your only in phase 1.
if not it could be a app creating that folder for whatever reason but you better take action, if left unchecked if i think it is what i think it is then your SD card could fully corrupt.
i had this before, take out sd card from phone(Use a sd adapter) backup everything on sd EXCEPT THAT FILE/ FOLDER then run a disk check on sd, finally format sd the place files back
remember it could be nothing. if all else fails its probably just a app inside android making that file, to find out for sure as a last resort reinstall rom/ factory reset and 1 by 1 install your apps back and see which app makes it

Are you using mobisystems OfficeSuite 7?
Try un-installing it and see what happens.
Thanks guys for all the replies! I'm supposed to post a reply last Tuesday but I was very busy.
Before I posted this query I already did Google search for this and all that came back were forum posts in foreign languages so I didn't bother looking through.
This Tuesday I tried Googling it again and 1 or 2 new search results returned were all pointing to OfficeSuite.
With that, I think it's safe to assume the folder is not harmful. Besides, its content is only a 80.00-byte worth of .nomedia file.
EDIT:
@Oldtlar Yes I think it's related to OfficeSuite. :good:
EDIT 2:
http://www.plurk.com/p/jmkhp1
I contacted Mobile Systems, (OfficeSuite 7) and they stated it was not related to their program and directed me to this thread.
After un-installing OfficeSuite 7 & installing OfficeSuite 6.5, I can confirm the folder/directory and related is created by OfficeSuite 7.
I have since emailed them, but have had no reply.
It would be nice to know why the folder is created if nothing else, but a folder name that is less threatening looking or applicable to the program would cause less concern.
It probably was a cache folder for the program
At least it wasn't anything worse.

.nomedia is the name (and file extension) used for a folder or file that is not to be scanned by mediascanner (the service that runs every time android boots up to check media content such as videos e.t.c. stored on the internal storage).
Apps sometimes make use of this folder/file extension for temporary files or files that you don't need to see. (For example some emulators extract and store their button images for touchscreen usage all separately as .PNG, they are often in .nomedia folders).
Also the file(s) as mentioned are the size of 80kb.
So yes this to me defiantly sounds like some sort of app cache generated every time the app starts, probably OfficeSuite has some sort of broadcast receiver to make it start up shortly after boot as many apps do in Android. (Tons of apps if not all use these if you have a start on boot setting present - e.g. ROM Toolbox has 9-11 if I recall right for every different aspect of the tool).
Personally I won't worry about the folder being present.
Below is an example from my phone showing apps using broadcast receivers.

After un-installing OfficeSuite 7 & installing OfficeSuite 6.5, I can confirm the folder/directory and related is created by OfficeSuite 7.
I have since emailed them, but have had no reply.
It would be nice to know why the folder is created if nothing else, but a folder name that is less threatening looking or applicable to the program would cause less concern.

I have the folder too, I'm using OfficeSuite 7 Pro either, can't be a coincidence.

There is no doubt for me that the folder & related file are created by OfficeSuite 7. I have since gone back to OfficeSuite 6.5 on my three Android devices and it is NOT created.
It may be harmless as suggested, but if your program is going to create STRANGLY NAMED folders etc...... Why not name it something, like WE ARE A VIRUS - GOTCHA!
Great Program though! I just won't be recommending it to others or upgrading until a fix/explanation is made.

The problem is that it is strangely named and contains... nothing. Just a .nomedia file.
Thereafter, I don't get why they deny OfficeSuite 7 created it. I don't mind it being there, but it's weird. That weird that it made me Google at, Google brought me in this thread.
hi all - Same problem
Hi all,
I've the same Problem :
I'm using OfficeSuite 7 too (coincidence ?)
I've this folder on my SDCARD (internal) ans SDCARD1 (external)
This folder Stress me (i delet it all days)
Can anyone help me for removing totaly this folder ?
thx
U need to find app which is creating it. Its not officesuite as i have it and dont have the folder.
However i reflashed everything week ago and before i had this (or very similar) folder
Apps i didnt.install after update:
Tour the france
Discovery news
Drippler
Wolfram alpha
And some from polish bank bank mbank and polish part of orange
Maybe u have one of them
Sent using C6833 - Carbon KitKat/Pimped Z1 Kernel
I also have this problem. Even if I delete the folder, then find myself always on the external sd is that the internal memory.
It 'annoying ............
I also have this folder popping up every now and then with a .nomedia file. But I use OfficeSuite Pro 8 + PDF. It's true that it's weird that that denied it that it's their app makes that folder. Suspicious indeed.
Sorry if bumping an old thread isn't allowed but wanted to say that even in ver 8 problem is still there.
As you may know, yesterday my belowed LG G4 died. It had a bad motherboard. I know I can't revive it or anything, the only thing I want to do is recover my data. I heard there's some program which can copy al content from the phone.
I don't have a backup for a couple of photos, but that's just fine. I wan't to decrypt important files. I know the password, but I don't know how could I decrypt those files on PC. Should I install virtual G4 and put all files on it so it would be like real one except it would have content from my phone?
Every suggestion is welcome
