Problem copying over large file to 2 gig card.

[Huyhuy]

Hey, I'm having a problem copying a 300 megabyte wmv file from my computer to my 2 gig stick. Whenever it gets to about 5~10% goes back to 0 and starts again, does anyone have this problem? Or, does anyone know what's the matter?

Thanks!

BTW, my card is a 2 gig MiniSD on my Cingular 8125.

i havent tried this.. dont use my phone much for music and video, mostly just all data... but is it going through activstink? if so is it converting the file? and 300meg file going through the phone takes a while, i would try using your mini sd adapter and a card reader and connect it to your pc and just copy it over that way

Oh, thank you for the reply, I'll try to directly transfer it from PC to stick instead of through activesync. No, it says conversion (none) so I assume it is not converting. I will see if I can plug the stick into my computer.

Btw, when I remove my stick should I power off my 8125? Almost everything is installed into my stick.

Edit: Nope, :cry: , there is no place on my computer for me to plug my stick directly into. :cry:

no need to power off... and you should have gotten an SD adapter for your mini SD card. after putting the mini sd card into the SD adapter then would need a SD card reader which are very inexpensive to acquire if you dont have one already. then plug the reader into the computer, the computer should recognize it as a removable storage device. just drag and drop...

Alright, thank you! Yes it did come with an adapter. Is there anyway to copy large files through activesync?

[shogunmark]

you should be able to.. but with my experience it just takes forever... i copied my iguidance map for a friend one time and its 600meg... took 30 minutes to complete. I only copy large files via the adapter nowadays

[Huyhuy]

Yeah, I don't mind waiting 15-30 minutes, it's just that it resets itself and I have no idea if I can ever get it on my phone via activesync.

Edit: I'm trying a different method, right clicking the file and going to send to.. then selecting device, then they prompt me to choose the destination within the device, so far so good. I'll edit again if it's successful or not.

SUCCESS!!

I use WM5Storage instead, for large files. Works better and faster, than ActiveSync. :D
