Hey guys, I was just poking around in my AT&T Tilt and I found a nice little surprise. AT&T was nice enough to include Office 2007 6.1 (the new updated version) in our ROM. I can't speak for the HTC ROM since I'm sticking with the AT&T one for now but I thought that was a nice little surprise considering that the download is not officially availaible (IIRC).
Nice find. I thought I had to DL it myself.
Yesindeed the TC has it as well. Only snag is that if your PC is using an older version of Office then you have to download a conversion plugin or else your PC cannot open the new file formats eg XLSX rather than XLS or DOCX rather than DOC.
Still no complaints and of course the Kaiser can open up the older Office docs no problem.
Mike
you can set the default document to be a .doc file instead of .docx (assuming you are using word that is)
Where is it on the phone?
How do you set default in Mobile Office to save document in .doc or .xls format instead of .docx and .xlsx format?
Thank you.

Hi,
I see in the descr of the TyTn II that it comes with a business card scanner aplication.
Can someone tell me what this app is? Is the cab available somewhere?
Thanks
Business Card Software
The software that comes on the TyTN II is called WorldCard Mobile. I did not see it on the AT&T Tilt rom, but when I flashed to the HTC rom, it showed up.
It is OCR software that allows a picture to be taken of a business card then will take the information and import into your contacts. I have been looking for it as well and have not found it extracted as a cab within the forums.
thanks
I actually have found a copy of that program but it is a year old.
So it would be great if someone can extract it from the rom and put a cab here...
please do a search on business card scanner for the answer to this
The software is called WorldCard Mobile and it is only $25. You can buy it here : http://store.penpowerinc.com/mobile.html . I have tried it and it works as long as you have good lighting.
If this is something you would like then buy it and support the development of this product so they can keep making updates.
I added that app to my 8525 and it works great. I have installed it but not yet used it on the Tilt.
No Tesco (UK) are not selling cheap Kaiser's before you ask
I've a bit of a request. I'm pretty much ready to buy the Kaiser, however, there is one deal breaker for me.
Part 1...
I want to know if the Tesco shopping website for groceries will work on the WM6 IE browser. Seem like an odd request? Well I do my grocery shopping online and if I can't add items to my basket while using IE for WM6 then this is a big deal for me!
Sad I know but true.
So can some kind person test WM6 IE with Tesco Groceries ( http://www.tesco.com/superstore/bob.asp? ) and let me know if the site loads after you have signed in? I can log into the site on WM5 on my Wizard but it will not load past the sign in screen so I can't use the site.
I know it works on Opera Mini 4 so please don't suggest that.
I want to know if it works on IE for WM6 as this leads onto part 2.
Part 2...
Is there a lists / video / post somewhere of the Touch Flo enchancements HTC has implmented that affect WM6 IE on the kaiser? I've seen videos of people draging on the screen to zoom in/out. I know you can pan etc. Is this all?
Thanks!
I tried from the US and received a message "Sorry, your browser is not suitable". I tried this with internet explorer. Opera mini version 4 on the other hand seems to work because it gave me the page to sign in or register as a new customer.
i have a very similar issue, www.yahoo.com.hk will only display in a simplified version on the english version tytn 2, whiles the chinese version tytn 2 display the full version.
any fix for this.

Hmm interesting thanks
Contact the web developer
Perhaps you could contact the web developer for the site you're having issues with. It could end up being a simple fix to enable WM6 IE to work.
Right checked this for you.
When you goto the URL you gave, it says the browser is not supported but gives the option to goto the access site.
Click goto access site, loads fine, and lets me login and then takes me to a slim site. This let me browse the departments and add them.
I have attached a zip with about 18 screens in it for you, along with a couple of screens
All done on Vario III flashed with Duttys normal rom final (v4) nothing else added into it

Hi guys, looking for some pointers with this one.
Having usefully used Terminal Services on the TyTN to remote support Windows machines while out in the field, I've upgraded to the Kaiser only to find that not only is the improved Remote Desktop Mobile from WM6 not included in the build, but neither is the previous Terminal Services Client. This is a major problem for me as I don't want to have to carry two devices with me (never mind 2 SIMs and contracts!)
Having searched around it seems that Microsoft decided not to make the inclusion of Remote Desktop Mobile madatory in the build, but to offer it as an option to carriers and manufacturers. It also seems that this is something which none of the carriers has opted for - and definitely not Vodafone UK as in my case.
This really has crashed a major downer onto the otherwise brilliant bit of gear which is the Kaiser.
Has anyone any access to the RDM app for installation onto the Kaiser, or, failing that, an "easy" way to port the old TSC from the TyTN?
Try this... this is a remote desktop prog. for PPC on WM6 devices
Its available in the thread where all cabs are located (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438), following the big link there will point you to the wm6 remote desktop cab (http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/WM6_RemoteDesktop.cab)
Thanks guys, brilliant work and saved me loads of gief.
(BTW - I did search across the site but couldn't anything - I'll make sure I try harder next time!)
I asked this question a while ago in the Wizard forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2170324
And didn't get any replies that helped me
I managed to make a package that works to some degree however I can't get the Today item to appear or be available, however launching the application it does work.
If anyone can help I can post the package I have so far?
We have now this at work so I would like to get a working package so I don't have to keep installing it following a re-flash or hard-reset. I know I could include the .cab in the ROM build and then add it to the list of .cabs to be executed after a hard reset, but I would like to get it in the ROM and it's like a challenge now...
Cheers
Andy
This isn't free software is it...for what I found on Windows Communicator 2007 it appears you can download a 60 day version for trial only!
yep the mobile version is free...

Microsoft Office Communicator - Downloaded from here
first result on google
I guess that's why many on the forum ignored this post. Anyhow, did any use this software? What special use can it be good for?

We use MS OCS (Office Communication Server) at work. It is the basis for the Office Communicator Client which is a Windows Live Messenger-like IM client for Corporate use. It integrates with your IP-PBX via SIP - its quite a big product and lets M$ compete in a different market....
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/communicationsserver/default.aspx
The Mobile Client is free and I use it currently on my HTC Kaiser (used to use it on my old Wizard) when I am in the office (WiFi). I would just like to include it in the ROM and so far I can't work out what extra bits happen as part of the .cab install that don't with the ROM package...
Andy
Resurrect this thread....
I never managed to get this to work as an OEM package so I ended up cooking the .CAB into my ROM and auto-installing it via the 'config.txt' file. I thought I would update my kitchen with the latest versions of applications I have in it and I thought I would try again with Office Communicator Mobile 2007.
Anyway I cooked it into my latest ROM and again it didn't appear on the today screen - it also isn't in the list of Today Items to select (however all the registry entries exist). As part of the OEM package I created a shortcut to the Communicator.exe in the 'Office Mobile' folder and I can launch it and use it without problems - the issue is it doesn't appear on the Today Screen like it does if manually installed via the .CAB.
Now after I have launched it once and then go back to the Today Settings 'Communicator Mobile' is now there and works!!! However if the device is soft-reset it returns to its previous state - not on the Today Screen and not in the list of items to select for display on the Today Screen.
Anyone know what it likely to be the problem as it looks like it can only be something simple?
Andy
Can it be used as a SIP client for paid VOIP providers, or just for the MS server?
Hi chaps,
Wondering if someone can help me out with the following issue -
When I flash a new ROM to my device I am never able to use O2's homepage for looking up train times (something I use regularly) as it gives me a message stating it was unable to recognise my number.
Obviously this doesn't happen on a stock ROM.
Can anyone shed any light on where this setting is located, or what I need to do to access this feature on O2's site.
This is a small issue in the grand scheme of things but something I am flummoxed by!
I can find nowhere to enter my 'number' which will allow O2's homepage to identify me as a contract customer.
For info, I am using a Sony Xperia newly flashed to Jack's 2.9 WWE ROM.
Many Thanks!
(I did search but I couldn't locate anything on the above, though I will admit I may not have searched under all the correct terminology, apologies if I have missed something glaringly obvious!)

It's possibly the user agent, rather than the phone number. What browser are you using?
The Opera browser. But it doesn't seem limited to the Xperia, it seems to happen when ever I use a custom ROM. (Previously on a Stellar and before that, an Orbit). Perhaps I need to get a copy of the 'auto customiser' that O2 installs on any WM device they sell.
Any thoughts?

might help.
still a good chance it's just the custom user agent in the browser though.
Ive no idea what's included in the O2 roms. will have a quick look now as long as RS isn't playing up
BrB
Upon further reading it seems the auto O2 Customisation is done by an XML script, perhaps if this can be extracted (or found) I can locate the correct details?
try this first
O2/1.0/SonyEricssonX1i/R1AA Opera/9.5 (Microsoft Windows; PPC; Opera Mobi/2141; U; UK) UP.Link/6.3.1.20.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
go into opera:config enter custom and a space in the quick search paste it in the relevant bit and save.
there's quite a lot of RGU and provxml in any rom.. in the R1 O2 there's also a load of cab files relating to connections.. Dumping it all in a folder.
There's also custinfo.txt in /windows drop the following into windows. (use a decent file manager not the built in one).
Many thanks for this! I shall have a go at this in a bit, I just reflashed my device again.
Once again, this is much appreciated my friend!

Is it possible to run the O2 customisations in o2stuff.zip on the R2 firmware? I'm getting impatient waiting for O2 to release an updated firmware
I don't mind the majority of customisations they make (apart from removing google maps and panel ) and I really just want to make sure the correct phone settings are in place.
I was wondering if I flashed to generic uk, dump the contents of o2stuff.zip in windows folder and execute O2_Operator_Settings.exe, would I in effect have an O2 customised R2 firmware?

mostly yes. there's some things I didnt include but it should be close.
Don't get me started on waiting for O2 to release new firmware updates.
The apocolypse will arrive before they actually release one at the same time as everywhere else. This is one of the main reasons I started flashing my devices (much love to this forum which has been my main source of information).
Plus the previous radio for my X1 had rubbish signal reception in my area and I was not prepared to wait for O2 to pull their finger out.
