16GB X7510 but can I use it?

[losdelrock]

Hello, sorry if this is a double post but I will be brief. After buying the X7510, I was informed that the ActiveSync software only works on the phone memory and was asked (after I called HTC support) to "Copy and Paste" the My Documents folder on my pc if it was big, which it is.
What kind of a solution is that?
I am also trying to sync with Exchange 2003 and again, it appears only to work on the phone memory. Is there any software out there which will at least allow me to sync My Documents on to the 16GB flash disk?
Surely HTC are not that stupid as to give you 16GB and then not allow you to use it except "Copy and Paste"!!!!!!
Although my gut feeling is that it is Windows Mobile 6 that is stupid.....

Thanks,

Adrian.

make a briefacse, itll sync when you connect. but probably only if you connect as usb storage rather than proper activesync. I did it successfully for ages with all my cab files

Try wm5torage version 1.73 (google it).
Then you'll be able to use the 16GB as standard USB mass storage.

Unfortunately the 16 GB Flash Disk works like an on-board or built-in memory card. But there should be a software out there that would let you update a folder in it, if that is your question.

How about using the BT Shared Folder option?

You need not install WM5torage if all you want is to see the 16 GB Flash Disk. Just go to

Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC>check DISK DRIVE>OK

and this should let you see the contents of the Flash Disk like an SD Card does.

you guys should check out Card Export 2 for PPC

The last time I tried Card Export 2, it is buggy as hell. It does not always work.

WM5torage is way better than Card Export in reliability and it's FREE.

I will try some of the solutions suggested in the threads, but it still does not answer why HTC have not considered an "Out Of The Box" sync via Activesync onto the 16GB flash storage for My Documents and Emails......

I might be wrong but I think on all devices it works this way. The email is by default (i.e. out of the box) stored on the device memory.

OK, I think I just found a solution for you, but this would need SK TOOLS which is not free, but you can try it out first if it will work.

If you go to SK Tools Main Menu>Tune Up>Active Sync>Choose Folder to Sync, then you can try and choose Flash Disk and the folder you want active sync to always synchronize with your PC.

actually i just realized something

apparently we DO NOT need any additional software.

not even set the option for USB to PC as a disk drive.

if you have Active Sync 4.5 installed

you can simply DRAG AND DROP anything you want, from and to the 2 SD cards and Main memory of the Advantage X7510

i just noticed that after we started this discussion.

i did a factory reset, because i'm trying different setups, so i wanted to be able to quickly copy and past stuff i want over to install try and clean up.

that's when i noticed, none of the above mentioned software, none are required

just activesync 4.5 and your Advantage connected to your PC

That's true.
But in my experience this is rather slow and some files (like .doc etc) may be reformatted (unless you turn this off).
So most of the time I tend to use Activesync, but for movies or folders I almost always switch to Wm5torage.

@losdelrock: Your gut feeling is correct. Windows mobile is that daft.

From Microsoft's view, i can understand some of why they did it, but i cannot understand why they do not give you an option to specify a different folder if you choose. surely it can't be that hard....

@allgamer: OMFG no! Activesync is awful for transferring large files like movies, or at least every time i have tried it it is. However, you are right, no extra software should be needed with WM6.1.
Does the x7510 have the storage device option in start>settings>connections>usb to pc?
If so, just select that when you plug it into the computer and it shows up as a usb stick.
if it's not there on the 7510, go with WM5torage all the way.

in USB to PC mode

it only shows the 16 GB disk of the machine, it wont show the 8GB mini SD that i have in the drive.

using ActiveSync mode, i can access both without problem

but it is true in Active Sync mode it is slower

my work around right now is to use FTP server / client

so i enable WiFi, and then client into my FTP server, and transfer any large stuff i want to my 8 GB miniSD

[rhedgehog]

yeah, it will do that.

I still reckon wm5torage will be better for you. The later versions of the software allow you to select which memory device will appear to the PC before you connect it. It's gotta be faster transferring direct over USB2.0 rather than over Wifi...

[AllGamer]

i just tried both way, and it's no much different

i'll have to say the Athena has an excellent 54G wifi, that really tops up speed, probably that's why.

it seems like my USB 2 isn't as fast as it should be, but i know it's not running at USB 1 speed, because that is hella slow,

USB 1 speed is at like 10 mbps
