I'm very happy to see this utility as I copy bulk avi to my phone regularly. I use O2 Graphite. I've timed a 8MB file.. copying to card. It's 2x faster than Activesync. It won't beat the card reader as Graphite is only USB 1.1 (just checked the manual). But it's surely more convenient, if the data is not toooo much.

Sorry if this has been asked before. As there are 39 pages, I hope I can just quickly as this question. What would happen if there is a disconnect when writing to the USB card ? Would it damage the card or worse, the smartphone ? I've ever damage a USB Thumb drive before, so I'm concerned.

Windows Mobile 5 is required. Sorry, but I cant possibly make it work on WM 2003, as only WM5 allows USB protocol implementation separate from USB hardware driver - on WM 2003 Ill have to rewrite whole USB hardware drivers, and of course its not feasible.

Hey, I think you have to try Softick Card Export II. This app can run on Smartphone 2003!!! (SPV C500, SDA, SDA Music, Typhoon)

I dont think you can damage the card physically. Worst that could happen is logical damage to the file system will make it unreadable, but that always can be fixed via reformatting.

If you pull out the USB cable you can technically damage the USB interface due to power surge (it should never happen on properly designed USB ports, but not all USB interfaces are of good quality).

This is great piece of software! Few months (years?) ago I complianed about nearly no functionality on Fujitsu-Siemens n520. This is no longer an issue, because it works perfectly now! Keep the good work....

Since I've installed WM5torage this morning I can't acces to storage card. I see all the content via USB in the PC but from pda I can't acces to them.

I did many soft resets, I uninstalled VM5torage but without results.

What I do? A hard reset? Some ideas?

Thanks

FINALLY!! The "Storage card" have been renamed as "Storage card2". When I connected WM5torage with PC, at same time I synchronized with ActiveSync via bluetooth (for experimentation). Surely at this moment, Activesync didn't found "Storage card" and creates it. And then the true "Storage card" appears as "Storage card2".

Yes, this is a common problem.
At last I have added the FAQ with all the common issues to prevent the repetition smile.gif

No Luck so far. Tried installing various versions (1.5,1.53,1.60,1.73,1.75) but each time it fails to mount as a drive. Version 1.53 was able to detect as a USB Mass Storage Device, but for some reason Windows XP did not detect it well and gave USB driver error. In Device Manager I can see the yellow question mark icon on USB menu.

Thanks
-nbhor


Did somebody try with WM5 non-phone? I have Mitac Mio P550m.
My problem WAS the same:
- in device (WM5) it worked fine.
- In Windows XP SP2 (updated,...) it found as Mass Storage Device (USB device)
- In Device Manager it was a yellow exclamation mark (as i remember well), for this device, with "USB Error 10". I tried to dig out error 10 (for USB devices). Windows says: defected hardware, others say could be USB1.1 - 2.0 problem, out of ACPI resources, hub problem, too much power required etc etc. I tried other computers, same results.

Because it was not working (some restart both side, deinstall, install, close ActiveSync, ...) i switched to "Card Export II" (deinstalled, installed again, ...).
I started write this post but forgot how the problem showed up, so I installed WM5torage again.
AND NOW, WORKS. It shows as "WM5torag Mio P550 USB Device".
I did nothing but installed "Card Export II".

I deinstalled "Card Export II", because in this case I do not need it, and from then WM5torage did not work. Reinstalled "Card Export II", and WM5torage worked again (I did not stop WM5torage, but Deactivate, unplug and Activate).

So I assume "Card Export II" installs a better USB stack than the original, so WM5torage can work, otherwise not. It is a pity that the hardware manufacturers do not care software at all.

Anyway this program works perfectly if the prerequisits are OK (as mentioned in the beginning of FAQ).
I wrote this, because the FAQ did not mention USB Error 10 problem.
If Windows says "New device found" when you plug the device, but later on no drive show up, ... AND the problem in Device manager is Error 10 - means the USB stack of the device is faulty. Please correct me, if I wrong.

You are correct that this is the problem with the device USB harware driver. It works enough that PC "sees" the disk device, but it can not properly transfer data - and so you see "USB device error".

I've updated the FAQ with that such glitches can manifest in wide variety of ways.

Basically device manufacturers do care, but they dont seem to care about "non-planned" features, ie if they decided not to build the USBMFN themselves, they see no need to make device compliant for it - "what do you complain about, all declared features are working". Of course its a flawed approach - this is smartphone after all. And technically MS should revoke the WM licenses from vendors that dont maintain proper compatibility according to specs, but since MS didnt intend the drivers to be made by third-parties anyway, I guess they decide to overlook it wink.gif

This is an excellent piece of (free) software - bravo Ingvarr!

I had it working brilliantly on my Hermes with the Black Majik WM6 ROM, but since I installed the 'official' Dopod 838pro WM6 ROM I can't make it work any more. Everything seems fine until I plug it in - I get a 'ding' from the computer but it doesn't go any further or recognise a USB anything. I'm guessing they left out that USB driver thingo you have talked about before - any chance of a fix in the future?

Its not under my control. Things that are in the firmware entirely depend on firmware developer.

I just tried V_Mark's trick and installed Card Export II. And now WM5torage works just fine as well! So, Ingvarr: this implies that it is possible for you to add whaterver Card Export II does to the USB stack and patch up the hole. This would not be easy however I would imagine! In the meantime I will have Card Export II installed but not used....

Its was already explained in the FAQ.

Yes, its possible, but its too much of a work. CardExport is complex and costs money. WM5torage is simple and free.
I do not say that it will not be done ever. Maybe I will figure out something later.

Its just an explanation of why is it so currently.

Hi -- I've installed WM5torage on a Windows Mobile 6 device with two memory cards. One of them, the SD card, shows up fine on my PC. But when I select the CF slot in WM5torage and click "activate," the PC shows a new "removable drive" appearing in my computer, but then freezes until I tell WM5torage to deactivate. Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix this?

Thanks so much to Ingvarr! What a cool and useful program, and how kind of you to share it with all of us.
Alan

I translated version 1.75 in French


You can download CABinet for a full install, or ZIP which contains only the translated executable (that should remplace the original W5torage 1.75)
