Pharos 619 SDHC working plus GPS setup

dvdivx · Feb 16, 2009

For SDHC to work:

1. Install SDHC_v071227.cab
2. Install to device and press cancel when it's finished. Don't let it reboot.
3. Install Certs.cab. Won't prompt you for where. When finished press reset button on bottom of device.

Tested on Kingston 8gb SDHC card and Pharos 619 running wm6.1. Firmware 1.1.5 Build 9.

GPS:

Press Start -> Settings -> External GPS ->
GPS Program port = COM9
GPS hardware port = COM5
Baud rate = 9600
Manage GPS automatically = checked

Also included a cab so you can use any dialtone.

For better battery life make sure Recieve all incoming beams is not checked under Settings -> Beam
Bluetooth also seems to suck battery life fast on this phone.

If you tried any other SDHC hacks you may have to back up your data and do a factory reset. Start -> Settings -> Factory reset.

Thanks,

I try it with 8G patriot and another 4G card. It works.

But the problem is:
When 619 go to suspend mode and wake up again, I need to re-insert the card or reboot it. Otherwise 619 is very easy to freeze when I visit the miniSD card from file explorer.

Figured out the problems with the hack. Needs an extra step I found in this thread:

It's far better now. Just as fast as with a 2gb card.

Thanks a lot.

I try jasjamming's SD card fix.cab. It does not make much improvement.
It seems my SDHC card is too slow to be mounted

. Or I blame it to Windows Mobile OS, or the SDHC driver.

I try with non-SDHC miniSD card with HTC sdhc driver installed, the bugs also happen.

After I remove HTC sdhc driver, everything is normal again for non-SDHC miniSD card.

It seems to be the SDHC driver issue. Hopefully Pharos could release the official support for SDHC card later for 619.

Tried today and it worked. When I used the HTC version, for some reason, it could only see 4 of the 8gigs. Installed this one and now it "sees" the 8gigs.

Thanks dvdivx!!

It's not perfect. Sometimes you have to pop the card out and reinsert it. At least it is capable of SDHC with the right drivers.

Agree with you.

Thanks, dvdivx.

Same here... although an inconvenience, at least you do not have the shutdown the phone and restart, just pull it out and put it back in and it works...

I decided to remove it.

The bottom line for me is that sometimes it read the complete 8gigs, sometimes only 3.5gigs… then there is the need to pull it out and put it back in order to re-access it, which has become annoying, it was just inconvenient, now is frustrating since when it stops accessing the card, everything is paused until one remembers to pull the card out and put it back in.

Not worth the frustration, anyone else had a better experience to share?

It may be that jasjamming’s registry patch needs to be "tuned" to the M619.

Worked on my phone

Thanks! I followed the instructions and it worked on my phone.

My settings are:
KINGMAX mini-SDHC 4G
Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
Firmware 1.2.1 Build 2

BTW, how does the NoRingtonelimit work?

Thanks for the post! This is working well for me on a M619, with an 4gig SDHC, GPS too!
