Hi all
Anyone out there come across any FAXing utility that actually works on the Kaiser? I have tried both Mfax and TrueFax and neither work. Now, I mean true faxing utility using the phones radio not Faxing via internet.
Thanks, Kyri.
I always thought that was carrier dependant. If I remember correctly when I used to in the past long ago with Cingular I was only able to when I had Circuit Switched Data (CSD) enabled on my account that alloed my phone to be used as a dialup modem. But I haven't seen Cingular/ATT offer that service for some time now. Not sure about other carriers.
Please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380509
Hi guys
Thanks for the feedback, I checked out the threads, but other than confirming that others have had the same problems, not much help.
Even after enabling CSD, there is a need for FAXing software that works on the Kaiser.
I questioned Trufax support and here is their answer…
Unfortunately we cannot support the WM 5.0 / 6.0 Pocket PC Phones at the moment. The problem is that we need technical support from the respective device manufacturers and this support is not given at the moment. We were working together with High Tech Computer for their devices (MDA, XDA, i-mate, etc.) but this was only for WM 2003 OS and they stopped supporting us with WM 5.0 cause faxing was not an issue of importance for HTC and the net providers anymore.
(another round of applause for HTC I guess. Shame on you for laughing at me, again. I will take my money elsewhere next time. I have noticed over the past year that the professional end Nokia phones are looking good and getting better all the time.)
Regarding Mfax, well that software just locks the phone a reset is required, hmmm!
So please the question remains, Does anyone out their know of any FAX software that actually works on the phone (CSD aside that is)?
Thanks, Kyri.

I don't want do be annoying but your question belongs to the software section and should therefore be asked in the thread I mentioned above. Why opening a redundant thread in the wrong section?
Hey (not so) deep thought. Wrong section may be, redundant only with hind site. Rude yes, Annoying certainly! unnecessary definitely.

I just stated my opinion. You are attacking me personally, so everyone can decide for himself who is rude. But continue your redundant thread in the wrong section. I don't have to read it anyway and maybe you can flame with the mods. I'm not available for that ****.
eFax on wireless

How about eFax?
Hi Cushcalc
Thanks for the efax link. It’s not quite what I had in mind. See I travel lots, go for months without needing a fax and then along comes a need to use fax for a couple of weeks until something else is arranged.
So I don’t want to start an online service and have the overhead/time/think about keeping up the subscriptions for months until I next need it.
Ideally I want to send/receive faxes via radio direct without all this overhead, you know satisfy the need for those couple of weeks and then forget about it till next time.
Mfax and TrueFAX have the right idea. It seems at least for one company however, that the non disclosure policy of HTC has basically prevented them from upgrading their products to run using Windows Mobile version 5 and 6. Sad and petty on HTC’s side I think. From my perspective, well no one likes a bully do they.
Regards
fax
do any of these programs help?

Well, I made an eFax account something like 3 years ago for fun, never used it, and it still exists and I receive a reminder email about it every few months. I wouldn't consider that as having to spend time to keep it up...
I remember sending a fax with an HTC device, but it was indeed still on PPC2003 with my BA a few years ago.
And I'm pretty sure the software vendor you mention is a bit quick at blaming HTC, they could as well get the WM5/6 API info from Microsoft.

Perhaps you should let the mods decide what belongs where.
I too have had problems finding a suitable solution for faxing on my Tilt... AND editing the PDF format I get the faxes in...
You can at least receive faxes on your phone by email with Ringcentral.... I havent found a good email to fax program that might be the best you can do

You will need the HTC ''three'' network Connection Wizard. This can be downloaded via the HTC site, after you register the device - or floating around on various forum pages here. The search button is your friend.
I can only find a connection wizard for the uk and not ireland its really frustrating have this handset that i spent a fortune on and i cant get it goin grrr. thanks for the replys guys
Purplec
the kaiser is very similar to the hermes use these settings on your phone and you will be ok

cheers kevin i'll try those settings,i had the first bit upto mozilla the rest may be unique to the usa carrier but i'll let ye know
as i suspected,generic UA for kaiser,thanks anyway.
what i really need is a user on 3 in ireland to oblige,or any one else on 3 around the world so i can see if there is any specific part to the string
It totally sucks that North American users, primarily AT&T and T-mobile users dont have any video call only video share. The video share threads only run around in circles right now so I guess that it doesnt work yet either. Im looking for opinions as to where people think this will go or maybe if video call will ever be supported. AT&T just release a bunch of new handsets and they all have video share, so it makes me think theres no hope. Thx in advance for any help/suggestions
All the new att 6.1 test roms that are coming out have the at&t videoshare ability as long as the stock dialer is being used and none of the dll's have been taken out. The only "cooked" rom that i have seen that has supported videoshare was one by ALEX before he stopped cooking off the first test build. Remember that Vid Share through At&t is a pay for use service so you would have to have it provisioned on your account and so would the other user you are vid sharing with in order for it to work. I would love to see someone extract this feature from the new att roms to use in other cooked roms, but i think it will fall by the way side like people asking for ptt. There is a very small minority of users on here that would actually use it so it makes the effort fairly fruitless...
Hi guys,
be gentle i'm new to this forum/ROM ideas.
Anyway hope i can help at least one person.
Tried all sorts of ways to get Youtube to work with about every ROM i have tried (still havent settled on one yet, btw), I'm on T-Mobile and couldnt connect due to Content Lock, so rang 1818 (believe you can do it on the internet or at a shop as well) and got it removed.
Now i can happily use Youtube. Good Times
hope this helps

Hey man! thanx for joining us on this great community
Good point on that T-Mobile issue, but I think this is only for T-Mobile UK customers, because from The Netherlands a number like 1818 doesn't exsist....
Neways...good thinking...

I have a USA AT&T tilt...
I'm now living in the UK. I understand I can make this thing work, but finding my way to all the information on here is difficult.
It's running Win 6.1 - and I think if I sim unlock it, that works - but the sim unlocker I looked at said windows 6.0 only...
I'm hoping to get it working on international, and perhaps even with Android.
So:
1> I don't want to brick this thing - feel free to treat me like an idiot.
2>Is this thing the same as a TTYN II?
3> What provider over here would be best to approach with a smartphone ready to go? I've been out of the country for a long time, and they've all changed!
4> Which route seems best for getting from unmodded US Tilt to UK ready with decent OS?
5> what are the pitfalls to this?
Links would be a huge help. I tried following the "new users read here" thread and all the links to the wikis were dead....
More searching and reading.
