Sending Large Files Via Usb On Spv C500 Problem

[Guest N-K0d3R]

I had this phone for about a month and a few days ago i have decided to upgrade is miserably low-capacity memory card. So i bought a 512 MB Kingston MiniSD. My problem is the following : file transfer is fairly slow for files smaller than ... say ... 15 Mb, BUT when trying to upload to the phone files larger than 30-40 MB Active Sync just gets stuck after filling its progress bar with just 4 blue bars. Not only that but the phone`s software is almost unusable during the process. Any workaround for this ? Or is my phone a faulty one ? Or the damn SD card. I should also mention that File Manager reports memory usage and total capacity of the card absolutely WRONG. It says it has 480 Mb total capacity (well, this might be accurate, its probably what remains after the FAT specific structures are being written to the card), and that used memory is 150 Mb ... but when i visualise the properties for the Storage Card folder it reports only 35 Mb for its size). Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

ActiveSync is notoriously poor for transferring large files so your best bet is to invest in a USB card reader. I think the file has to get written to the phone memory before being passed to the card.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, i also thought of that as my final solution. When i bought the card i also bought a 6$ usb-stick card reader (like a normal usb stick but without any memory built on its board, it uses the card you insert in it). On my work computer (the computer i first tried was at my home) it seems to get a little further (i doesn`t get stuck until the last 1/4 of the progress bar). I wish Microsoft would take some time and do things right for a change :evil: Or maybe it`s just the way the phone`s hardware is built.

My c500 always almost locked up on big files. If I left it alone for a while it was fine. Your card will report 480ish Mb due to the difference between binary Mb (Mib) and decimal. The card is sold as 512x1000x1000 bytes but really it is 488x1024x1024 bytes. Don't know why its misreporting the other bit though.
