I am having a weird issue with my CardExport. CardExport launches correctly and mounts the flash card. When I connect to my pc, the phone auto launches my TomTom nav and causes the CardExport to not work.
Has anyone had this issue? If so, what are the work arounds?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
More than likely it's because the sd card has a file in the root folder called autorun.inf I usually hold down the left SHIFT key while plugging the SD card in the reader to avoid it from running the autorun.inf (which launches TOMTOM in your case)

I charge my Titan via USB on my work computer. I don't have Administrator privileges on this computer so I cannot install the drivers for the phone. However, even after clicking cancel on all the Hardware Installation boxes that pop up when the phone is attached the phone is detected again and the boxes pop up again. This happens every 10 minutes or so as far as I can tell.
Is there a way to disable this without cooking nueUSB into my ROM? I'm running DCD 3.2.6 btw.
Thanks!

Same problem here. There is a CAB for nueUSB as well. I would go that route. I have backed it into my ROM. Plus I love having the Storage Card show up instead of The active Sync interface. I cannot live without that. Plus I never like to synch my phone with a PC. Do it all OTA with Exchange.
I've had issues with nueUSB where when I disconnect the device some system process starts to hang resulting in the spinning beach ball always on the screen and CPU usage going way up when the phone is just sitting there so I stay away from it. This requires a soft reset to fix.
Strangely, I have the same problem when I remove my SD card and also requires a soft reset to fix...

It sounds like you have something running that may be accesing the devices. When you disable the functionality it locks up that program or something like that.
WHat all do you have installed?
Windows Mobile 6.1... DCD 3.2.6

I didn't realize that nueUSB would disconnect the SD card when you plug the phone in. Having realized this today I realized my two problems were very much related. So I decided I better look into fixing it.
After a little troubleshooting I narrowed the problem down to the Spb Pocket Plus Today plug-in. I thought it was odd that that program would cause an issue with the SD card since I didn't think it had anything related to the SD card. I didn't even have an icon displaying the SD card's free space on it.
After delving into the menus a little more I found one option that had to do with the SD card. "Refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." It would make sense that this could be my problem since the problem only occurs when the SD card is removed and then reinserted. Not if it is just removed. So I unchecked this option and viola! nueUSB causes no problems for me now
Ok. Hope this is not thread crapping. But I have a question. What does nueUSB do? I have searched the forums but besides some *issues* and a flame war of someone who did or didn't steal it I don't find my answer. Can someone answer this simple question?
It gives you the option to use your phone as a USB SD card reader. So when you connect your phone to your PC it is detected as a mass storage device and you can read and write to the SD card.
oh goody. That would help me get around the activsync issue I have at work. LOL
Usually if you are having problems with nueMassStorage, it is because of other programs (like stated earlier). I have been using nueMassStorage for a while now, and it has really come in handy for those times you are at a computer that does not have active sync installed.
If you don't want Activesync or mass storeage or anything, just use a cable that has no data lines, just power.
Whenever I do a USB file transfer to my phone, Windows complains that there may be a problem with some files and offers to scan and fix the device. Should I let it, or just keep ignoring it?
Running CM7 on the phone and Windows7 on the pc, but it's been doing this for a while, even back on CommRom.
The reason it does that's is because either a) thereis a problem with the SD catftot b) you ate not ejecting it properly from your computer whenever you connect your phone to the PC. Most of the time the latter is the issue. You should let it run but also eject your device properly so you don't mess it up later

So I learned a very interesting tidbit about a year ago. The problem with flash memory is that if the power is disconnected during a WRITE operation, it will kill it (almost definitely). However, if you are only doing a READ operation (copy from device to computer, reading a TXT file, etc), then it is safe to pull the drive at any time.
The long and short of it is that After you have copied files to your phone, Windows continues to write excess data in the background, even after the file transfer dialog has gone away. And on my old mp3 player (Cowon S9) this led to many tears for a lot of people.
So always always always tell your family members who don't know the difference b/t WRITE and READ to simply ALWAYS "safely remove" their flash media.
Thanks folx, I'll let Windows have its way with the card next time it wants to.
I have recently purchased a 32gb micro sd card. When I go to put new music on it, it shows from the pc side that it is loading on the external drive(g2 phone) and form the phone it says that it is on there. However when I disconnect the phone only the last album that I put on there stays and the music player will state that "this type of file cannot be played". I have formatted the card through the computer and to no avail, it acts the same.. I did format it on the Android and it worked, temporarily and could load music from my computer for a few days, then it stopped. I am clueless as to what is going on with it. p.s. I tried placing it in a card reader and it did the same, but i did not format it first that time. I seem to think the android is placing a bad file on it causing all these issues. (again I say this because when I format it through the phone it will work temorarilly) any help would be great, I really want toload my phone with music.

Hi there,
It sounds like you might not actually be utilizing your SD card when connecting to a computer and instead are attempting to load your music directly to the internal phone memory.
Make sure after you connect your phone to your computer via USB that you put your phone in "Disk Drive" mode by dragging down your notification bar and selecting your connection type. Without selecting this option you will not have access to your SD card when plugging in your phone to a PC. Now when you got to "My Computer" on your PC you should see your SD Memory card in addition to "g2phone"
Let me know if you need further help
I'm relatively certain you bought a fake card. A few months ago I was shopping for one myself. I bought 3 different cards, all counterfeit, so I just threw down $100 to get my favorite brand, Lexar, and haven't had any problems since.
The exact problem you seem to be describing is a kind of technology that provides computers with a false amount of flash storage. When it is filled, and then used, only the true space of the card survives, which is why everything else disappears.
If you want to test the quality of the card for yourself, use h2testw 1.4. It is free, and while having a strange name, it is easy to use. You'll know in no time whether you've been scammed or not.
I have checked the card with h2test and it states that it does have 32 gigs on it but that the card is corrupt, I have formatted the quick way with sd formatter. What puzzles me is that at one time I was able to load more on it and now I cannot. I feel that there is a fix, I am just not finding it yet.
Just as the title says.
I'm using the latest ICS version, and transferring a large GB video from my microSD on the Prime to the SD card on the keyboard dock. The only choices are copy, or cut. Doing either
I step away as it starts transferring, I comeback, unlock my tablet and discover the transfer is incomplete and I have to repeat the step.
It will be a real hassle to have to stand by the table and continuously touch the trackpad so it doesn't sleep while I wait for it transfer.
Update: I discovered that this problem is not with power saving sleep mode, but more to do with an unforeseen issue that my file transfer is failing when I attempt to transfer a 2GB video saved on my microSD card over to a SD card on the doc SD slot.
Okay, so this seems like it will be hard to explain..
When I connect my prime to my computer to transfer files or whatever, it totally becomes unresponsive when navigating/moving files. One minute I can easily browse to lets say.. The camera folder on my prime, then try and refresh or move a folder out of it, it will take forever to actually do anything, like if I refresh it will search for files and not actually finish and find any, even though I was looking at them a minute ago.
I tried to move a video file to an SD card on my prime and left it for about 10 minutes, the bar didnt move at all so I cancelled it and tried to refresh the folder, and nothing is coming up, just a blank folder with a loading bar at the top.
Anyone else get this problem?
It's related to Prime's slow read and write speed. It's normal behavior for devices that use cheap components.
Are you sure that the files aren't on a storage media that unmounts when you connect the prime via USB. Like for example connecting a device as disk drive to the computer, it firsts unmounts the external sd card from prime then mounts via USB and when you eject it from the USB cable it says preparing storage?
