A new option SD card syn through ActiveSync ! - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Sorry for this kind of cilly question, does anyone know of a software similar to active sync where it automatically synronizes my sd card along with the pda. i mean up to now i have to do it manually every couple of times, I simply copy the sc card to a folder on the computer. But if the sc card gets erased I don't have the latest info stored....

Try Mighty Sync available from http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=4118

something dodgy found regarding SD cards?

Hi,
I upgraded to the 4.01.00 build of 2003. I decided after a bit that I missed the stuff I could add in from the kitchen and also for some reason when I tried to install something to the SD card it would just create a cab file on the card... So I manually started the cab installer from the location and it automatically installed the software into main memory?
I went back to a new brew of yorch's kitchen using 4.00.16 with hopes that this would be resolved...
I dont seem to have any problems accessing the SD card.. the data is transfered over fine... although I set Activesync to use the sd card it only ever copies the cab file and then shows the program not installed.... if I go to the SD card I can see and run the cab file copied over by activesync... but it only copies it to memory
I thought cab files installed relative to your current location (i.e) you run an install from the SD.. it gets installed to the SD.. run it from the main memory and it gets installed to the main memory.. etc.
But I'm totally confused as to why activesync refuses to install anything onto the SD card itself.
Has anyone else recieved this problem? know how to fix it? any ideas?
currently it appears I can only use the SD card for music/files or whatever I want to store rather than install other programs...
cheers for any help,
Ian.
I would uninstall your current version of activesync and install version 3.7.1. If you have 3.7.1, I would do a reinstall. It sounds like the issue isn't your SD card or the ROM that is loaded.
upps, on my XDA I everything works fine ...
I mean installing software to SD card and running the software from SD card, others things are not that smooth .... but the above mentioned is ok
I do use WM2003, version 4.0.21 T-Mobile ROM
regards,
monika
Just thought I'd add how I fixed the problem...
I stopped using this
http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/fg/dockware.htm
everytime I hard reset my device the first thing I'd do was install 3 programs...
Iliumsoft Dockware Pro
Tillanosoft Small Menu Plus
Omega One Battery Pack 2004
On that build (4.01.00) of the ROM Dockware would pretend to install by activesync... but it wouldnt even copy over or anything...
After doing that, the rest of the software would follow straight into main memory whither I asked it to or not.... the exception to this case was a few programs like Resco explorer and a few games that did install to the card.
Everything else just copied the cab files over to the sd card.. and then when you installed the cab files from there, they went into main memory.
So.... I hard reset the device and didnt install DockWare at all.... every piece of software installs fine now without a hitch...
Strange huh?
MOTD: dont use Dockware on later builds of 2k3 heh

Screwed on ROM upgrade

Hey, I tryed to install the XDA-OS and it did not work during the upgrade. Now my phone is STUCK. I turn it on and there are just a bunch of random lines. I would like to reinstall but I can't use Active Sync seeing that my P/PC has nothing on it I guess. Is there a way to recover from this disaster? Please help. Val
Yes there is, you will need an sd or mmc memory card, and a card reader/writer for your pc, you will need to cook a rom, possibly from www.yorch.net, when it is ready for download choose "sd card flashing" at the bottom of screen on yorch net. You will need xdatools to program your memory card while in card reader/writer. Basically you choose the .nbf file that you downloaded as source and your card reader/writer as destination. Once this is accomplished you place the card in the xda, enter bootloader mode, when asked to press action, do so. Your xda should then be alive once again.
Now my 256 card is F*&^ed
I did everything, I finally understand these new concepts. I used the XDAtools to convert my NB1 files to my 256MB SD card and started the P/PC up. I forget why but, although I though it would have worked, it did not. Anyhow I then accidently backed up my corupted OS onto the card and said "oh no, why did I back up that crap on to my card!!!" I then inserted the card into the card reader and it said "Card access error." Now it doesn't work. A point of fact is that it does work in the XDA, but not in the PC. This XDA world is CRAZY but wonderful. Maybe I could get a heads up, let me know if anyone else has heard of this problem. VAL
Try putting it back into the card reader/writer, right click on the card and choose format. Sometimes the pc will do a delayed write to the card, if you remove it before the data is written it becomes corrupt, I always right click and choose eject before removing the card.

HD2 killed two of my 8GB MicroSD?

I have two 8GB Sandisk MicroSD card killed by my HD2 (i think so). Anybody faces the same prob? The cards are totally dead now after using it in my HD2 for a few days...
No such experience.
Good to know the Bland and model.
You mean brand?
Try to format it on your pc...
I had the same Isue.. could not format it on xp pc only on windows 7 pc..
mos of the time if you let you put it in your card reader and its recognized.. you just have to let it scan for errors and let it fix them..
Sometimes my cardreader fails to detecet my card. I don't think this is related to my HD2, atleast I don't hope so.
Not had it...yet...on my sandisk 8GB MicroSD. This is the one straight out of a Nokia 5800. The 2GB one which cam with my HD2 went tits up after I tried to import a playlist from WMP onto it. Seems I'm not alone with this issue either...
For the first time I can report a problem with my HTC HD2.
I also seem to have a problem with my 8Gb Scandisk card. It seems either my telephone or my laptop screwed the card up.
I have standard stock last rom available in Holland manilla 2.5 Rom 1.66. No special things installed.
The card works almost 100% except when I go to the tap music. Then hell breaks loose. The phone looks for the music files. But cannot find them and then suddenly the phone cannot recognize the card anymore? I have to restart the phone before it can recognize the card again. This only happens when I go to Music.
But the damage is done anyway. Cause when I insert card in laptop or computer. I can see the files but according to the computer there empty (which is not the case). I cannot copy or cut while in card is inserted in the computer.
I accepted this problem cause I have a good working TomTom on it which someone else installed for me. If I format the card I cannot put it back.
Try to format your card, I did this from my laptop (if it can reorganize it) and NOT chose FAST. Becouse if there is a problem with the card it will simply skip it. This is also a golden rule when you install new OS on a old or well used laptop.
Copy the tomtom folders to a folder on your PC before formatting, then copy back...done
I have a 8GB Sandisk card, I've had it on 3 plones now, using it for about 3 years, still works like a charm.
To the OP, maybe you got fake ones, Sandisk is the most counterfeit memory card brand, if you got them on ebay or so and not in a respectable street shop they might be fakes, for which that kind of failures are typical.

I have this problem, and I went back to HTC. I got a new phone replacement and everything is fine thereafter. =)
I had a problem with 3 different Kingston 8GB cards.
Statred working fine, but after writing more then 2GB to them, they suddenly died.
I tried all of them in the phone and in a card reader, and they acted the same way.
As a final test - I used a SanDisk card, and it works just fine from the time I got it.
So - maybe, you just have defective cards ?
Did you try formatting the cards in the phone and not in the PC ?
I have the same problem. If i put the files on my sd card from my pc there seem to be no problem. After I check these files on my phone, they are damaged or the folder is empty. So.. anyone has suggestions what to do?
Same experience here.
8Gb was working fine the first two days (the card that was included with my HD2)
Then, for no reason got a pop-up (invalid card type, do you want to format?)
At forst I said "no" and tried with my computer... None of the 6 software I used could save my card. Was definatly dead.
Put a second one in (1Gb, just to make sure), it's been a week, and I already get errors when I write. It's like the micro SD is on read only (though ther's no switch to set it back to "write mode")
One of the many (many many many) bugs of my HD2
i had the same problem. the 8gb SanDisk microsd card that originally comes with my htc hd 2 is now useless. lost a lot of pics, cab & songs. it can't even be read by card reader on my laptop. is this some kind of bug?? now im using another 8gb card & hope it wont happen again. im glad though that im not the only one having the problem
And i thought i was the only one. My 8GB only lasted for 1 day before it went died. Had to get a replacement from Service Center. The staff seem to handle it in a very fast manner (guess i am not the only one to get the SD card replaced recently!!)
My guess is i did a hard reset on the phone with the SD card in it. Anyone else did the same thing?
My card has been corrupted twice no the HD2 leading to:
1) Very poor performance
2) Very warm phone
3) Very fast draining battery
I believe it was due to the power saving features enabled to do with the microsd as someone else mentioned on this forum.
its a manufactures defect. something should be done. lots of users are getting this problem now,including me
maybe i know the answer..
sorry for my bad english..
I've the same problem. But searching from all forums, finally i get the answer. just find n download EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Proffessional 4.3.6 (for 5 MB). Insert the mmc in card reader, use this software to recovery all the missing file (choose Complete Recovery Option). After recovery process done, use software LLFTool (for 600kb, just doing some browsing at google) to Low Level Format the mmc (this LLFTool can recognize the mmc). After all done, Windows can recognize again the mmc at windows explorer. Just right click and choose quick format (format FAT32). Done, you can use the mmc like the new one

thanks for your help. i tried your solution but it doesn't work. neither the EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional nor LLFTool detect the memory card. i think there's nothing to be done for the card. just hope htc will sort that out
I have also recently had an issue with my 8gb Sandisk Micro SD card.
It has been working fine for a while now, then yesterday when I went to pick up my phone, I noticed my S2U2 unlock screen was black instead of having my usual wallpaper there. My HD2 had just suddenly decided it can't recognise the card anymore and tells me I need to format it for it to be readable.
I pressed 'no' and tried to read the card on several computers as I wanted to transfer all data off before formatting it, but it would not read on any of them, nor would it work in my old N95.
I don't understand why this has happened, it has been working fine no probs, had about 3gb left on it still and have not recently installed anything on it - very annoyed as I have lost lots of recent photos of my 6month old boy which I cant get back now.
Have had to order a new card and hope this doesn't happen again, but not a happy bunny

SD memory card exchange problem

Hi, I'm pretty new to android so I did something that I shouldn't.
I wanted to upgrade SD card.
Naively, I connected my HTC desire to PC a I copied all the data from phone directly to the new SD card.
I inserted the new SD card and all the problems started
when I turn on the phone I have an error "open sense plugin manager (process com.htc.opensense.pluginmanager) has stopped working
I cannot call
I cannot delete SMS
Many applications have various problems
The errors are same when there is the old, new, no SD card. Yes, know I know that it was stupid idea to copy the data from a phone that is running. Is there a way to fix it without hard reset? Thanks

[Q] Weird SD Card Issues

I've been having some strange things happening with my micro sd card lately. After flashing a CM9 glitch rom, I noticed that when I plug my phone into my pc with a usb cord, it shows two drives instead of just one. This has never happened to me before. I have also been having problems copying files from my pc to my phone and when I disconnect the cable the files are gone from the phone. I copied 2,000+ pics from my work pc to my phone and verified they copied correctly. When I got home all of the pics were gone as well as some ROMS I had just downloaded. I formatted my card with windows xp and then I did a 1 pass secure erase with CCleaner. When that was done, I erased the card from the phone itself. After the card was erased, my Titanium Backup folder was still there with all of my backups. Anyone else experienced these issues?
My card is a Samsung 16GB Class 4 HC and is a few years old
I know regular eraser programs like ccleaner, etc don't work properly on sd cards, (they only kind of move files around so they are not seen) look up sdformatter v4 and use that.
What ROM are you on right now

Right now I am using unofficial CM9 with glitch kernel
One other thing i can think of would be that the scanner would take a really long to re scan all those pics (like maybe 20 minutes or more from what I've read)

I tried taking a picture a minute ago and it said please insert an sd card to take a photo. The sd card was still in the phone. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe the phone isn't unmounting the card from the pc aproperly. I had my sd card open on the pc and could see all of my files and when I hit turn off usb storage I didn't see any other messages in the status bar and the files were not there
@Sippi4x4man
I know it sucks but you might need to try saving everything off the sd card again, formatting with sdformatter from your pc,, while still blank install, reboot, wait for ROM to settle in, take picture. Then if all goes well, connect up to the pc (i assume you use mass storage) then put files back on, disconnect from pc,,, reboot and wait the 20+ minutes for 2000+ pics to be scanned by the media scanner process. Hopefully that works
It is formatting now. We will see how it goes. Thanks!
Update: I ran sdformatter and did the overwrite and then format. When I turned usb storage off the ROM said my sd card was damaged. I used odin to go back to stock 2.3.6 and when I was done it was still saying sdcard damaged. I formatted the card from the phone itself and then flashed AOKP Milestone 5 Glitch and all seems to be working just fine. Thank you for your help.
