What's the difference between this and WM5Storage?

Program is too small, so I like it..
Thanks..

Thanks! It works great!!! There is even no need to reconnect the cable. Simple and fast. Do you know who is the developer?

Thanks. Works very well.

There are three options in the setting. Turbo ActiveSync, Normal ActiveSync, and Mass USB disk.

I set it to Turbo and thought that transferring files is a lot quicker than before now.

WIth Mass USB, I could only see the device but not the storage card or microdrive. Is this normal? Is there a way to see all three?

Nice program, I find it works a bit better than WM5torage.

BUT !

Do not connect as a USB mass storage device when using Audio Manager for it will (and does, I tested) f*ck Audio Manager up (logical, since Audio Manager will detect that the microdrive's been used by another application and try to refresh its library, endlessly since the lock isn't removed until the device is disconnected).

Finally something that works better than WMStorage... but can't switch to storage card only the microdrice... even without this option i finally can replace my usb stick with a usb cable...

Unlike WM5torage, in ANY of its versions, this works!

Even got Turbo Activesync working using the instructions on the last post on that thread linked above: when Generic RNDIS is detected and Windows asks for a driver, tell it to search in c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers and that did the job for me. Don't know if it's actually any faster than standard Activesync, but it couldn't be slower.

Thanks very much!

Okay, a follow up to that. The Turbo mode works by activating the network-via-USB. It works very well indeed here on my work PC, but doesn't on my home PC. It connects, but doesn't start the synch and just sticks on Looking for Changes.

I don't suppose anyone has a fix for that? Normal practice seems to be to untick the "Enable advanced network functionality" box, which is what this mode uses.

I have two issues: When I activate the attached USB file it disables Active Sync and secondly My computer doesn't seem to recognize it as a storage drive (I must be missing some type of PC USB file). Any suggested solutions would be greatful.

Can we find the utility from HTC without the ROM? I appreciate your work but I'm not a fan on changing my baby's ROM.

I trying to find references on Google for such tool without success.

Thank yopu in advance,

No NOT via active sync and that is the beauty ! you can go to any modern computer and *without* installing active sync get the microdrive to show up as a USB memory stick and transfer data.

Sounds like a firewall issue. Try without firewall.

Question for you: Thanks for this good app. This is an answer to my wonder about downloading movies to the microdrive. Now, I wasnt aware that this was a permanent replacement for the Activesynce. Is it?

After installing it and using it a couple of times, now my active synce will not work. Was this suppose to happen?

I have tried Turbo, Normal, then i deleted the USB app, and tried adjusting Activesync, and I cant get it to work again. Before I hard-reset, I was hoping someone can offer me advice here.


Thanks in advance!!

Thanks in advance!!It's not permanent. In my experience, while it's connected via USB, run the app, then choose AS normal/turbo mode. AS should then see the device and start the normal process.

This util works great. Don't understand why they don't just run the USB port at this speed by default. Downloaded a 1GB movie in under 10min.

Does anyone know if there is the same type of util for the Host USB port using the 4-1 adapter? I would like to stream video from this port.

Thanks
Matt

That is Frickin' Awesome!

I have no idea why Micro$haft insist on making ActiveStinc transfer files soooo slowly even with "No file conversion" turned on. They suck. This rocks.

In the time I've taken to type this, I've copied a movie to my device... now I can just pop downstairs, plug the Athena into the Projector, send the sound to my A2DP speakers, and I'm away! Cheers! :D
