1. How to connect Card Reader to a computer using Bluetooth.
- Make sure you have WIDCOMM/Broadcom or BlueSoleil Bluetooth
software stacks on your Windows PC (Microsoft or Toshiba will not work
because they do not have the required profile).
- Enable the bluetooth FTP mode on the Palm.
- Re-discover Bluetooth services on the Palm. You should see the
new "File Transfer" service.
- Connect to it and browse/upload/download files from your PC.
2. Problem: when I enable CardReader although my desktop
signifies that a device has connected to it AND the "remove
hardware" icon in the system tray shows "Safely Remove USB Mass
Storage Device", my Treo does not appear in Windows Explorer.
Please try the following:
- Connect with CR.
- Go into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management
- Assign a different drive letter for the CR disk.
3. What is Bluetooth FTP?
Bluetooth FTP (Bluetooth File Transfer profile) is a Bluetooth profile which provides access
to the file system on another device (e.g. getting folder listings,
getting or putting files, deleting files).
4. Card Reader does not work with my 4GB SDHC card.
Please note that older Palm devices do not support SDHC standards.
Read the official document on Maximum expansion card sizes and types compatible with Palm devices. If your device is listed as compatible with SDHC, then Card Reader should also work with 4GB+ cards.
5. I get "Fatal Alert MemoryMgr.c, Line:3571, Non-word-aligned handle" on Sony CLIE TG-50 or Sony CLIE NX70
If you have installed MCA (Sony Clie Audio, developed by Cliepet), please disable it while using Card Reader.
6. Does Card Reader convert files or change file types?
No. Card Reader knows nothing about files that are transferred via the USB
mass storage protocol so it does not change them.
7. How does Card Reader differ from similar programs such as Card Export?
1. Card Reader supports not only USB but also Bluetooth File Transfer.
2. Card Reader can function in the background mode.
3. Card Reader allows you to export several slots at the same time (in multi-slot Palm devices, such as Tapwave Zodiac).
4. Card Reader occupies less memory.
5. Card Reader is cheaper.
8. I have some incompatibility issues with TealLock software and Card Reader (e.g. false locks).
Please add Card Reader application to the "Excluded Apps" list in TealLock.
9. Where can I read user feedback and reviews?
Every online reseller such as PalmGear, MobiHand, PDAssi.de shows a number of user reviews for Card Reader app.
Great program! Allows you access to card files. You can rename them (try that with palm OS), move them, delete them. Excellent!
This application works perfect in my Treo 650 and my Powerbook (OS 10.4) my G4 (OS 10.3.9) and my PC (XP). User Interface is not fancy but very simple, the transfers are fast, and finally I decided this app instead of Card Export because the size, card Export is +332K, ...also Card Reader is a little bit cheaper ;)
PalmGear users comment on Card Reader software
Awesome program that works flawlessly and makes transfering your files to your Treo incredibly easy!! I have tried other file transfer programs before and had all kinds of trouble with them. I have had no problems at all with this program!
Way faster than Softick, stable. Excellent customer support. Use my E2 as a flash drive. Background mode very useful.
I had been looking for a way to easily transfer files to and from my Centro that were stored on the memory card. This program is the answer and works flawlessly. I have used it on both Mac and PC hardware. PERFECT!
MobiHand users describe Card Reader as the fastest USB Mass Storage solution for Palm devices
Das habe ich immer schon gesucht. Der Datenaustauch über Hotsync ist mir manchmal zu umständlich, manchmal möchte ich die Unterverzeichnisstruktur auf der Karte ändern oder ähnliches. Das bedeutete bisher: Karte aus dem Slot, in einen Cartenleser stecken, diesen an den Windowsrechner usw. usw. Das alles wird mit Cardreader auf einen Klick begrenzt. Besondern gelungen finde ich, dass im Gegensatz zu manch anderem Programm nur auf dem PDA der CardReader gestartet werden muss damit es funktioniert. Ab sofort brauche ich nicht auch noch einen Kartenleser mitschleifen. Klasse !
