So has anybody found a legitimate reason why you need to ENABLE advanced network functionality?

It seems to interfere with a lot of things (WM5Storage, SpriteBackup, Exchange Server Sync)...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Chris The Ninja Pirate:
Doesn't seem to be working properly for me. I switch on WM5 storage on my Vario II, connect the USB and it shows up as new hardware and installes Herme300 device as mass storage but it shows up as 0 bytes and there is no directory structure. Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
I tested in 3 Hermes device, HTC and I-Mate Rom, XP and XP Pro and even in VISTA and works

Whe I activate it I have a WM5storag HERM200 USB device in My computer panel, working and showing SD card content.

Have you:

1) 1.72 Sw version

2) checked removable class

3) DSK1:/SD memory card

4) Mounted EXT_ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
It also works under Linux :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Chris The Ninja Pirate:
Ah, I hadn't mounted EXT_ROM. Is that essential? I didn't notice that in the WM5 thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
No, isn't. Sometimes WM5storage keeps EXT_ROM as default disk, and this gives problems
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mightyeric:
What does this mean?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Chris The Ninja Pirate:
Nope definitely does NOT work.

1) Version 1.72

2) Removable Class is checked

3) DSK1:/SD Memory Card selected

This loads as a USB mass drive labelled at Herme300 but shows 0bytes used 0bytes free.

Wonder if it is different on a Hermes 300 series????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vmirage:
mine doesn't work as well.

Sometimes, if i'm lucky it works for a while... but only able to work like 1 second. :P

I manage to copy some files like less than 100kb. :P

But after trying to enter a folder, my USB drive content just disappears... though it still appears as a drive in My Computer.

That was exactly the same behaviour I was getting before, but all worked fine when I unchecked it.

Which rom are you using? Probably is a t-mob's rom only fault? :?

Failed to Disable RNDIS

Ppl, I get the same message on my HTC TyTN "Failed to Disable RNDIS".

Does anyone know how to overcome this problem????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sajib:
I did some testing with the new wmstorage 1.72 and my tytn..and found that if my 2gb microsd card is formatted in fat32 then the pc cant detect the card.. it try to read from the source and keep trying as a result i cant even get into my computer to see other drives it just hang there....although if i format the card into fat then it does read it correctly and easily.....but the most annoynng problem is the transfar rate is never been more then 200kb which is painfully slow..slower then of activesynce...

PS:to the readers who didnt get success with wmstorage please format the card in FAT16 and mount it as discribed in first post...

PS:My card can easily be read by card reader in FAT32 format and i can get a read speed of 6000 kb and write speed of 1900 kb...

How much speed are you getting guys from wmstorage..????

Re: Failed to Disable RNDIS

Delete all assigned COM ports, and try again. (Start \ System \ Connection \ Bluetooth \ COM Ports)[/quote]
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Chris The Ninja Pirate:
My card was FAT formatted and it still didn't work. Curiously, I tried v1.6 to see if this worked, since someone reported this working on a Vario II and I found that with LED set to 0 Windows Explorer would only see a drive with 0 bytes free and 0 used, with the LED set to 1 and 1 or 2 and 2 Windows would bring up an autoplay window for structures that are present on the card but it still showed as 0 bytes free and 0 used with nothing on it. I will try again with v1.72
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
I'll add some knowledge to this topic.

My wm5 1.72 on I-Mate ROM was working and after some time stopped. I had same blank ( apparently ) card with 1.71 and I/o error with 1.72.

Same Fat 16, same card. After hard reset is working again.... so?

IN TYTN WM5 DOESN'T DETECT IF CARD IS IN USE AND LOCKED. If you install on storage card software that use writing or logging, battery meters....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Jorshua:
It doesn't work, I tried with 3 PCs and nothing, I also Install one very good program Card Export 2, but the same problem 3 computers recognized the Tytn but then no Card
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vmirage:
which rom is the WM5torage working with? Probably the sc2440usbfn.dll from the rom is working?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] itchyfingers:
I tried to install it and firstly, there was no addition of icon into the program list. I used file explorer to run the program. But when i activated it, it gave me an error, stating that it can't switch to mass storage usb driver.. Maybe some running programs have files open preventing direct access. I've closed all programs running and even tried rebooting, but to no avail. Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sn00x:
It also doesn't work on o2 Germany's ROMs :(

I've tried with the original ROM-Version and with 1.25.207.1. With advanced usb settings enabled no removeable device is added. Without advanced usb I can see a new device but it is empty.

Card Export doesn't work either. I mailed to their customer support last week and am in contact with them. I already tried some debug versions they send me and reported the debug log. They are looking forward to get it working on my device.

I'll post here when they finally have a working version.

P.S.: pos and others wo can run WM5torage without any problems, what ROM do you use?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ingvarr:
Currently USB driver on TyTn does not allow for WM5torage to work properly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
My Vario 2 syncs faster with RNDIS over USB enabled. Just using generic serial over the USB connection seems to rate-limit it to the COM port speed... Not such a pain if you don't have much stuff to ActiveSync... But I do.

I have no problems with it on my laptop, so I just leave it enabled (if it ain't broke...) - I had issues on my computer though, my USB drivers are a little... nonstandard, and it just couldn't cope. Couldn't even get it to sync after installing AS 4.2, so I gave up with it and waited until I got my laptop sorted out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] monx®:
i also get this prob before. but after formatting my mSD to FAT16 and its work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vmirage:
are you sure it's really working properly? I'm using FAT16 as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Vulpix:
You guys are in luck, because WM5 Storage was just updated yesterday. Crossing fingers and trying out tomorrow.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
May be it works now, because now with 1.73 version I have the (correct) message: can't switch to storage, is in use.

172 version switched (after disabling enhanced USB in USB to PC in connections) but the card was locked and obviosly it appears blank

On a plain I-Mate rom worked quite well, now I have many programs saving data in the storage card
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sn00x:
No, wm5torage just doesn't use the driver right. I have got a debug version of Card Export that allows me to browse all folders/files and even let me copy anything from PPC to PC. The only problem is after a file is copied from PC to PPC you can't use the removable device any longer until you replug the usb cable or switch the mode. But Softick told me they will fix this bug and will release a new version in the nearest future. I think I'll get a working debug version tomorrow.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] monx®:
i've tried softick card export II v2.19

-working but very slow transfer rate

-active sync icon did not swap from red to green when connected to pc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
Cardexport II 2.19 worked quit well for me. (disabling in USB to PC enhanced usb) Fast and reliable
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
wm5torage 1.7, 1.72 and 1.73 all work for me quite well. I have no opened files on MicroSD when I start it. FAT32 if it matters.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ingvarr:
You are incorrect.

Card Export does not use built-in USB driver at all. They write their own driver for each hardware they support - thats why CardExport almost always doesnt work and require updating when new device appears on market. Also thats why they work also on 2003, while WM5torage works only on WM5 - there was no USB abstraction layer in 2003.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ingvarr:
You should try to extract the USB Function driver from ROM where WM5torage is working, it may be will allow other people to make it working too. Like it was done on ETEN PDAs.

The path to USB Function driver is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Usbfn

P.S. The proper name is WM5torage btw ;) "5" both for "five" and "s" ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sebas_ly:
Has someone got it working?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sn00x:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MilanoRex:
wm5torage versions 1.53 and 1.73 work great on my 8525.. I can browse and transfer files from my PC to PPC etc just like i did with my 9100. I'm not sure why it doesnt work for you guys though
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Works fine on my Hermes too, you need to go to Settings --> Connections --> USB to PC and disable "advanced USB functions". After that WM5torage works perfect for me. I tried it in all WWE HTC and Cingular ROMs found on the wiki now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sn00x:
That didn't work for me when I tested it the last time. I don't know if there was released a newer version in the meanwhile. I'll give it a try this evening when I'm at home.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Koksie:
I was still on 1.52, but this version has the same problem as the 1.73. Sometimes my pc recognizes my vario II as an usb drive and I am than able to transfer files. Sometimes during transfer the connection drops, causing the transfer to fail. Deactivating and then re-activating sometimes helps to get my vario recognized again, but most of the time this does not work. Seems this app does not work on our device, since the developer does not have a hermes and is not able to adapt the app to the hermes. It's a shame really, since I used it a lot on my Vario I. Anyway, what I really meant to say: the old version does not work for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christian15213:

But now after a hard reset and fresh install I can't get it working.

From what I gather, WM5torage was a hit or miss proposition on WM5, regardless of type of Hermes. Never got it to work on my 8525 (Nor Card Export). The latest WM6 ROMS (I've tried them all [honest!]...I like to flash:p ) all have WM5torage working just fine for me. Dutty's v2 Full has it cooked in, as does 3des' ROM. I prefer Dutty's v2 med with the WM5torage cab installed.

P.S. Make sure the "Enable advanced network functionality" is unchecked!!!!! (Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JoeVulture:
I've found that wm5torage works great for me if I don't keep any applications on the microSD card that are actually running when I want to use it. So, Skype and OctroTalk are installed into flash, since they both have plugins on the Today screen.

Works like a champ, both in WM5 and WM6.

I got an odd error.

I tried using it and it works no problem. However when I disconnect it creates another entry called "storage card."

My real storage card all of the sudden become "storage card2!"

And you can't change the names at all.

However after a softreset I was able to change the fake "storage card" entry which only has a default temp and mail folder to "storage card3" and then change the real card (storage card2) to simply "storage card."

You have to do this as will not allow you to change the name to an existing item. After this, a do another reset and I am able to delete "storage card3."

It does not take too long to do, but I find this annoying. Anyone having this issue. By the was I was using 3Des' Rom on this puppy.

What kind of speed do you people get when you transfer files using WM5Storage?

If I transfer a 200Mb file to my 6GB SDHC card it takes 5mins 30 secs. If I transfer the same file with the SDHC adpater it takes 17 seconds!!!

Anyway to speed this up? I am using v 1.8 and it works well but could do with things being a bit faster.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gold_Diesel:
I did some searches on this and I can't find anything on this.

I've just noticed that my phone is stuck on 'H' signal, it can scale up to H+ as normal but as soon as the data has finished transmitting it will go back to 3G for a split second before returning to H and staying there. This has happened for a few days. I've noticed that my phone is getting unbearably hot (with a UV CPU and GPU, fully tested, stable) and my battery life is awful.

I've now gone back to a completely stock system, ODIN reflashed the GMK6 update (stock recovery, kernel, modem and ROM - ROM was always stock anyway) and the problem still persists.

I'm going to phone my network in the morning to see if they've done anything in the area or if anyone else is reporting the issue but has anyone else ever witnessed symptoms like this?

More background: I've recently tried ArchiPort 4.4 before going back to stock and I've been using the Devil2 kernel for more than 9 months. In the UK on the Three network, which is 3G only, no 2G.
