I downloaded TomTom Home (both versions that are available) and tried each to connect to the Kaiser with TomTom 6.xx installed. Nothing happens. It refuses to notice the Kaiser connected.
I've tried it with the PDA connected before and after running TomTom Home. I tried it with TomTom 6 active or not active. I can't install any maps because of this. Can anyone help me?
You need to install Tomtom on an SD card, and then you need to put the SD card in an external reader connected to the PC in order for TTHome detect the installation.
It's on an SD Card. I had it in an external card reader just now but nothing changed. I searched in the TomTom support department where it seemed to be suggested that I had to download a bunch of XML files in a ZIP file and store them on the device main directory (which I took to mean "SD Card root directory"). That didn't help, either.
Hm...it's not on the SD Card. The CAB file was executed from the SD Card but WM never asks me where to install...and throws it into main memory. How to alter that behaviour?
Worked fine for me (USA) upon opening it gave a could not connect error, but when I selected ok and then clicked on the icons in the main window that say My Device, it asked me to choose my device and it had the Kaiser listed as an option. Not sure if roms make any difference but I'm running Dutty's latest 6.1.

ok ive had my 256mb, 512mb and 1gig sd card working fine on my BA until recently..now im running into the following problems:
1. all the cards are recognised on the BA, but i'm prompted with this "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable". Following the successful format, neither system nor applications like Resco or SKTools see the Storage Card.
2. I've formatted using both Fat16 and Fat32 on pc but again when inserting the cards into the BA i get the same "Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable". After formatting, the same result as no.1.
3. Ive read that un-checking "Enable advanced network functionality" would help. Have tried this and soft-reset with the same problem.
4. After formatting a card in the BA and then sticking it into the card reader on my desktop...the pc doesnt recognise it and prompts to format it. So this keeps going round and round with both pc and BA prompting to format before use. However the pc recognises the cards after formatting them.
5. After the BA formats any of these cards..I soft reset..but then it prompts to format again after the soft-reset.
6. Tried using StorageTools but it never recognises any of the cards when inserted..even after the BA has recognised it and apparently successfully formatted it.
7. Finally tried a hard-reset and restored my backup but still none of the SD cards are recognised.
Now it seems maybe a system problem or possibly a hardware fault..but the cards do initially get recognised when inserted into the BA but its after the BA formats it that nothing appears.
Have had a search in these forums...tried chkdsk on all cards without errors..but I'm still stuck..hope someone out there can help. Thanks in advance.
definately some hardware problem in BA.
i have a broken WIFI chip.
welcome to the club.
SD Card Problem - QTEK9090
I have the same problem with my 2Gb Storage card. I have updated my QTEK9090 to WM6.0 and after the update my storage has the same problem.
Im trying to find some patch or upgrade to this problem.
Try this
After some times, ived already had such problems like yours, and i think ived already fix it, ahm try to install wm5storage on your device,then activate it,, then connect to the PC, IT will,promt as removable disc,, just format the SDcard, then try to restart it,, im n0t sure if it would work on You BA coz ive done it on My HIMALAYA, but again its worth of trying,,

Well, you've already tried different STORAGE CARDS and same thing happens right? You've already tried reformatting it using your PC and also with your BA and same thing happens right? You did a hard reset and samething...definitely a hardware problem. But before this, what happened? Before your BA stops reading your storage cards, what happened?
Hi Peeps,
Its been a while since i've been in the PDA scene... the TyTN II tempted me back.
Took delivery of my SanDisk SDHC 4Gb card this morning, plugged in and working a-okay.
Now, I'm wanting to install all my apps now. The installer greys out the option to choose your own install location?! Wanting to keep system memory to the max you see...
Anyone know how i get around this?
Cheers,
Matt
Do you install using ActiveSync ? Which version?
I sure do... well i'm running vista so is the "Windows Mobile Device Center" now - version 6.1.6965
i am having similar problem but my sd install is not greyed out but there is a problem with programs that have to write to the SD card.
I installed 2 programs that I have installed on a WM 6 ROM on my 8525 - these programs have to sync data and the data is written to a folder where the program is installed. If I install the program on the main memory of the TyTN II then it works just fine but if install it to the SD card it will not work - it locks up when trying to write data on the SD card of the TyTN II.
Any ideas on how to change security or access to the SD card so the device has full access to it????
It looks serious problem
However, it could be that the application is not yet compatible with the Tytn II ?
I think it is worth to ask to the developer of the application, he might have a clue or could create somekind of debug tool to verify.
I have not installed anything to the SD though.

Try this, will you?
I've found this app on another forum, but couldn't try it yet since i still am waiting for the arrival of my sdhc card.
Also, try these too.

I'll try the drivers and let you know but the problem is that I this issue with 2 different programs both of which worked fine on my Hermes with WM6 Roms!
I tried the different SD drivers and the TyTNN II was not able to access the SD card at all until I uninstalled the driver.
Interestingly the problem is only when the applications try to write to the card while doing a "sync" process where the app writes updated data to the SD card. The program otherewise works fine and installs fine.
Btw , it is only a 2GB card. I tried reformatting it and using a different card but no luck.
I think the issue is some sort os a security thing where the OS is errantly preventing writing to the SD card within the application.
Any other suggestions? I'm going to notify the place where I bought the Kaiser but also going to try to contact HTC.
I contacted HTC and they said that the device hadn't "really been released" yet and that with third party software they would not be of any help !!!!!!!!!
Can't believe they were so unhelpful. I even explained that others were having some other issues with SD cards and that it was more than one progeam giving me problems.
His answer was to - "just install your programs in the main memory"
Hope i don't experience such a thing with my universal since i just ordered a 4gb sdhc 2 days ago!

Well, that won't work at all, since the Universal doesn't support SDHC!!!!
* unless you are using the new WM6 rom with SDHC support!

THAT SOUNDS Annoying
there are some programs that just dont work being installed on the external storage. spb mobile shell is one of them and i know their are others. its because of the way the os boots is has to be on the internal storage for it to work properly. its not a fault, its ben the same with wm5 some apps are just meant to be instaslled on the internal storage. so check on hte applications home page or where you downloaded it from for its compatability and installation instructions

Absolutely - however, in my case the program (according to the developers who are working diligently with me to solve this issue) say the program I have been sucessfully using 2003, WM5 and then WM6 installed on the SD card (for several years) will NOT work on the Kaiser.
There is undoubtedly something different about the device and how it handles communication with the SD card. I have tried differnt cards (size, brand etc) and still the Kaiser won;t allow the program to write to the card during certain phases of a "sync" process.
Hopefully this is not a major issue for others but for my sake I hope it is enough of an issue to get some attention form someone smarter than me so I can (selfishly) get a fix for my issue
Hi guys
Had problems yesterday with my Storage Card being renamed to Storage Card2 etc and could not figure out what was up. Renamed it back as described in various places (By deleting the Storage Card folder created and resetting).
Today however the Storage Card is not showing up at all. Have tried the following:
- Remove storage card, copy contents onto PC using card reader and formatting. Copy contents back and put in phone. -> No luck.
- Hard reset. -> No luck.
Never had any other roms than the standard. Have not upgraded to 6.1 yet.
Could the contents stop it from showing up?
Cheers
Louis
One thing i could think of is a corrupt file.
Try formatting it again (with all your files backed up in your PC) and just insert the card with nothing on it. If it shows up and your phone reads it, a good bet that one or more of your files from your backup is corrupt and the phone is unable to read the card.
yes i suppose that is a logical step to do. lets hope it is. but luckily it is still under warranty if it is hardware...
Reformated the card (FAT32 is this right?) and loaded into HTC TyTN II without restoring files onto it (i.e. completely blank).
Still not showing up...
Any ideas?
ur storage card reader might have become faulty. i would recommend a warranty exchange for ur device.
Installing WM6.1 sorted this out...
I have the exact same problem as you had.. But I already have WM 6.1 and the storage card still doesn't show up..
Tried formating, etc and still nothing.. I can see all the contents if i use a card reader on my PC, but once I insert de card on my kaiser it doesn't show up..
Any ideas?
Have you hard reset? It didn't help me until I installed the WM6.1. Otherwise is it still under warranty. I was actually on the way to take mine in when I installed 6.1. Actually I should have taken it in as I have a scratch on my screen and I suspect they would have replaced the phone...
This problem usually happens if you are using a third party file explorer like Resco etc. and make non visible areas such as your ROM visible.
It then treats the new area as Storage card and the SD card becomes Storage card2.
Just check if you have any other memory areas set as viewable and undo this.
My storage card completely disapeared but came back when I installed WM6.1. Didn't use 3rd party explorers etc. But this might be Baretto's problem.
This problem also occurs when running Card Export II. The Storage Card is renamed as Storage Card2. The only solution is to remove the card and re-insert it.
This solved the problem for me.
Regards,
MAC
The problem I originally described here was the Storage Card disappearing completely. Not renamed etc. I.e. there is no Storage Card2. Baretto may have a similar problem to mine or his may also just be renamed.
Yes, I have the exact same prob as lrossouw did. My mem card wasn't renamed. It just disapeared..
I've already did hard-reset, and I don't use any third party explorer.. I already formated the card.
My only hope is to flash another rom.
I'm using the official HTC 6.1 portuguese rom and i'de like to stick with this rom..
If I was the only one with this problem, I would think it would be a hardware prob, but lrossouw solved his prob by flashing another ROM, so I'm hoping there will be another solution..
EDIT: Just tried to flash another ROM and still no success.. Still Can't find my mem card
I got one better for you. I had to wind up formatting mine because of this. Here's the deal. I go to open up my storage card and the folder is there but none of my files are showing. Then I go to the memory to check the space available and it was still showing that I had half of the card full. So I popped out the card and plugged it into my computer with the same results, nothing. So then I soft reset twice, nothing. I pim backed up my phone and hard reset, nothing. The pim back up was on my card but nothing else. Then I made another my documents folder and for a split second it showed the files that use to be in the old my documents. So seeing that all was lost I formatted my card and I haven't had any problems yet. I started a thread about this but no one responded so I assumed no one else had this problem.
P.S. I have an 8gig sdhc card

No one has answered you, because there are already other threads about that problem.. Search and you will find them..
This thread is not about empty mem cards.. It's about the device not recognizing the card, so pls refer to other threads..
Thanks
Baretto is it possible to reflash it with the wm6.1 rom? It might fix it.

LOL,
Guy this is the easiest fix ever.
All you do is delete the folder that says "Storage Card" then remove & reinsert the SD card. SD 2 will disappear & be corrected upon reinsertion.
This issue happens because of the Unload delay & sometimes because of SD Power management issues.
Always best to make sure SD Card Power Management is DISABLED.

As I & Baretto posted before (read the bit you quoted) there is no *spoon* (edit:storage card folder). It is not there. Can't delete it if it is not there. There is no Storage Card 1,2 or any number either. The storage card is not showing up anywhere and not as SD2 either.
Mine was fixed by upgrading to wm6.1. Baretto is on wm6.1 already.
@ lrossouw
I already tried to reflash it with HTC original 6.1 rom and other 6.1 cooked roms and nothing..
I'm getting desperate..
I'm thinking about sending it to the warranty, but I'm predicting 1 or 2 months without my Kaiser if I do so
@ GSLEON3
What do you mean by "SD Power management issues"? As lrossouw said, I don't have the SD card rename problem, but maybe my Kaiser ins't recognizing the SD card because of something related with power mangement..
It might be power related. My phone was on very very low battery power just before this happened for me. In fact had to reset itself a couple of time due to low battery. The next day the storage card was gone.
Anythign similar for you Baretto?
Hi guys,
I need some help,
I was trying to change my SD card (16gb) to my HTC 8GB stock one. I copied all files from the 16gb to my pc and then to the 8gb card.
But when running apps on the 8gb they don't open, it gives an error something like "it's not signed or a component is missing"!! It says the same thing for all apps on the SD card.
I installed again the 16gb card and it now gives the same error!
I noticed that there is a folder on the sd card called "Windows Mobile - ActiveSync" with a certificate in it! I don't remember installing any certificate, but I have my exchange account configured on the device.
Do you guys have any clue what could be the problem?
Also in activesync the phone it's not syncing (but it connects) and I can't connect anymore with my exchange account via 3G!
I was noticing in the last days that my data connection (3G) was connecting many times, and I had it in manualy connecting only.
Ps: I was doing a backup of the SD card before testing the android build...
It looks like that I also can't reinstall the apps!
I notice also that some apps I have it on the phone memory and not on the SD card, but neither from SD or phone they run!
The fix seems to be formating the SD card on the phone and not in windows, and then copy the data in to the card.
I've got a problem with replacing the SD card. I searched for it and it seems like no-brainer. But I don't know what the problem is:
I bought a 16 GB Transcend to replace the SanDisk 2GB that came with my Liquid.
I have [Leaked]Froyo ROM. I had many apps on SD and some on the phone.
Here is what I did:
- I unmounted the 2GB card in my phone and turned it off.
- I put the new card and turned the phone back on.
- Then connected the old card with a card reader to my Mac. Also, connected the phone via USB and turned the USB storage on.
- I just copied everything from the old card to the new card and turned the USB storage off.
Now here's the problem:
None of the apps on SD are working! And they are not linked! It seems they are not installed.
When I tap their home screen icons, I get the error: "The application is not installed on your phone"
Also, only the apps on the phone are shown in applications.
I double tried the same process with formatting the new card in the phone, but got the same thing. I also copied the hidden folders as well. No luck with that, too.
Any suggestions? It is really driving me ...
BTW, I put the old card back and it is working just fine.
Problem Solved!
I finally found out what the problem was and upgraded my microSD successfully with all the applications working.
I decided to post the SOLUTION so it may help others as well:
The key issue is in the .android_secure folder on the SD card. Before this, I didn't know it is the place where Froyo puts all the apps that are transferred to SD.
Here are the steps that worked for me:
1) Unmounted the old SD and turned the phone off.
2) Copied EVERYTHING from the old card to my PC (I used a card reader).
**ATTENTION: By everything I mean all the files and folders including folders starting with "." (Especially .android_secure)
3) Formatted the new card (FAT32) using the Windows.
**FOR CAUTION: DO NOT use the phone to format the card. Because it makes a .android_secure and it will screw with the one you want to replace. [If you have done it anyways, just make sure to REPLACE the .android_secure folder]
4) Connected the new card to the PC and paste everything to it.
5) Put the new card in to the phone and turn it back on. BINGO! All should work without any problem.
