I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.
It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.
I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)
It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.
It’s pretty cool.
If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)
I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.
The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
sounds kinda cool!
All I can say is try it out. WIMP yourself lol. It's kinda fun finding out where you are
You gotta check this out - track your phone!
This is a great bit of kit - I just tried this out on my Eten M700 and gave it to my girlfriend whilst she went to the shop. I could text her and see exactly where she was - it sent me back:
Latitude:51°24.740913'N
Longitude:2°29.562757'W
Speed: 0 MPH
Satellites: 9
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=51.41234855,-2.49271261666667+(PHONE+LOCATION)&t=h&z=19
You've gotta try this out!
Yeh, same here, but mine was only where I was
I really wish my girlfriend had a WM6 phone with GPS.
Big brother, here we come.
lost phone
I can imagine this would be handy if I lost my phone (again). I accidently misplaced my last phone - at £500 a pop you can't do that too often. With this I would have been able to find exactly where it was, even if someone changed the SIM
WIMP and IIWPO on one phone would rock!
That's a brilliant idea.
I'm gonna email them and put a few enhancement requests in.
This is one of the best bits of software I've seen for ages, and I reckon the IIWPO would also benefit the software.
I've done a bit of googling and they must be fairly new as I can't find much on the software, but I'll keep you updated to see if I get a response.
not gonna be possible until the good chaps here work out how to unlock the extrom of the kaiser or something like that I would imagine - it needs to be installed again on hard reset to be of any theft recovery value.
I've seen it done on things like my Athena, so I don't think it will be long till it happens
eventually... yes.
Can't wait for IIWPO for my kaiser, sure I have it insured, but I would have to bring swift, brutal retribution in person on anyone who stole my beloved black beauty.
But being able to track them with it even when they weren't at the home address they typed in would maybe help get it back sooner, and open up ambush possibilities
Very true. I reckon it wont be long till they add it in personally.
I've seen loads of software out there that does SIM change notification, and owner change notification, but not the whoie package, including GPS location.
I think these guys are on to a winner, and I for one am certainly gonna buy this.
What can I say, It's mint!
wow, this is an awesome idea. i plan to try it out once i get my phone for sure. great find.
Brilliant find and brilliant software. I too will be trying this when I get my phone!
Talk about impulse buying.
I just bought it. It costs £10 GBP and you need to provide them with your email address and your IMEI number. The website only accepts paypal (not a problem for me)
The cool thing is as soon as the PayPal payment went through it came back immediately with the unlock code.
What can I say, I'm impatient, but it's great.
Interesting
So... I played around with it and it rocks... I am definately buying this.
Made me realize something kinda scary.... Just follow me for a second here.
The Kaiser has everything.......
1. Cameras on both sides.
2. GPS
3. A Microphone
3. A record of our:
A. Internet browsing History
B. Contact Info
C. Call History
D. Almost all of our personal info... (Depending on how we use it)
4. And... last but not least... and the most important... the ability to be connected to the net all the time...
With all these features... and a program that runs on a personal computer that connects to the phone via the web and can operate all of the above features, but not letting the phone user know the features are in operation.... turns the kaiser into the perfect spy device, or, BIG BROTHER bug.
Think about it... With the right aplication, one could know, where you are, what you look like, what your doing, what your saying, and any personal info you choose to store on your kaiser.
Kinda scary huh????

I definately wish my girlfriend had a kaiser now
Absolutely valid points there JB. I reckon all software developers for mobile phones should check out this site. Then we would end up with the ULTIMATE bit of anti-theft, big brother, all singing and dancing software

no need to worry, she is just fine, im taking good care of her
sounds like good software though, cant wait to get my kaiser and try this out on it.. sounds cheap enough to buy anyway..
Very cool app, I loaded it and gave it a spin. Sent it the code and watched the Kaiser wake, spark up the orange GPS indicator for about 20 seconds and within about 1 minute my other phone received the text message with Lat/Lon and Google Map Link. I only wish there were a way to do this from a PC, the google link would be a lot easier to work with then.
I purchased the prog. Two Issues;
1 - The Wimp web site asked for my IMEI number but their form accepted all but 2 digits of my code. Their site processed my order and emailed me a s/n code which is now not accepted by the prog. I've got an email in to their support folks.
2 - This prog places an icon in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. I don't like any icons there. Is there a way to get rid of that Icon and allow access to the prog thru an Icon/Link placed in "Settings" or "Programs"?
Other than that, I never would have believed that there could be such a clever and small application!
Edit, Tech support sorted the code by re-issuing a new code based on my full IMEI, their site is new and just getting started. Their response was really quick. Also you can enter the app and select "quit", the app will clear from the task bar, BUT, it will still respond to the code request. After a request, the icon will return to the task bar, hmmm a way to know if you've been "Wimped"
Also, I also tried it one time when a fix was not possible. It woke and tried to get a fix for it's allotted time period (3min default setting). After the timeout, it sent a text message telling me that it could not get a fix. So at least you would know that the phone is talking to you!
Cant believe I have to migrate I miss my kaiser already, wish Id never have broke it :'(
Im looking into how to transfer all my messages (6000+) and call logs across to it before it comes and hopefully not have to do it by the old phone-sim-phone way as Id be there forever!
Ive always used PIMBackup so dont really know any other way to export mesages to my pc.
I know this isnt a SE forum and will be looking into them but thought I would ask in case anyone else has ever had to do this
Thanks to all the hard work everyone puts in, you dont realize until its gone...
RIP Kaiser 10/10/2008 - May you rest in pieces xxx
um.... I don't get it. if they couldn't replace it then You should take cash. that's what I did with my hermes. when it got broken, insurance company have offered me cash, because of no vario II in stock. I have bought vario III on ebay and rest of the money went for booze.
anyway... I wouldn't swap kaiser for P1. sorry mate.
br
bro
I believe this question has already been answered on the SE forum but for the sake of others let me briefly summarize the situation (I have both a P1 and a Tytn II).
P1 runs on Symbian/UIQ3. Recently the end of UIQ has been announced, it will no longer be available in new phones. So you are getting a unit which will most likely not provide you with any reasonable sw support in the very near future. The P1 has a smaller screen 2.6" and it doesn't have a GPS but does have an FM radio. As far as the keyboard goes, some love it some hate it, it's not true qwerty but a rocker system with 2 characters / key. It's smaller and lighter and handwriting recognition works better on UIQ3 devices than on WM, in my opinion. Perhaps the most important thing is that the amount of software available for the UIQ3 platform is very little compared to WM.
As far as transferring your data, you wouldn't have a big problem if you use Outlook, which will mean you should be able to transfer contacts, calendar, tasks and notes. Forget about transferring SMS, we haven't been able to find a way to transfer SMS between UIQ3 and other platforms.
Im sorry but this may be a long post and I dont even know if it goes here..
I had a wing about 1 year ago and i sold it because i had no idea that this web site even here and i had no idea how to use it. I mainly got rid of it because it was really slow and the touch screen you had to use that stylus. Now that I found this website I want to get the wing again. I have been reading and reading for like the past week and i read the guides and for some reason I still dont understand how to flash new roms and everything. so im wondering if someone would be willing to help me step by step over aim or something when i get my wing sometime with in the next week.
also i see a lot of people are having problems with the wing with applications not working and sms and mms and all other things not working and all that.. is that something that happens when you flash a new rom or what is the cause?
also is there a facebook or myspace application i can put on my wing? i am addicted to facebook and myspace..
also if a new rom is flashed would i still be able to download applications from other websites like handago and they will still work with the rom?
I think thats all the questions that i have.. if i have more i will post something else. Thanks in advance for the responses that i may get! everything is appreciated.
Hiya --
Broke my LCD last week, but I had the common sense to sync a day before. Just got the new one in, installed it with help of a nice random pictorial in Russian. All is well.
Is there some nifty program that'll let me save/edit/backup my on-phone and SIM contacts? I'm going to update the ROM today and that's my only concern; i've got contacts on the phone that aren't yet on my SIM.
Thanks,
Jim
Well, how about that.
Not really what I was looking for, but a PIM backup seems to do what I need, more or less.
Sorry for clogging the tubes.
Love,
Jim
I don't see any letters when I go on the Internet and want to write something on some search engine or write login and password... It seems that I do write, but cannot see anything - the letters are set to be invisible. How can I adjust this so that I can see what I write?
i've had enough...i want a dollar for every new thread that has been started for this issue!
dude!!! there must be literally close to 100 threads about this issue...welcome to the forum and please read the forum rules first, which clearly state to search first before starting a new thread
to fix your problem, disable cleartype in landscape mode...search for more details.
thanks dude,
...send me your bank account, I'd rather pay you ten times more then waste my time searching
i did what you told me, but this didn't solve the problem - I guess I'll have to do the searching anyway...

In that case, here you go for any further help you may need with your phone.

They don't have forum rules you need to follow. They just tell you," it is your motherboard " , they fix it, you send them $ 300 and your phone is fixed.
no searching for your answer, because your time and life is way more important than ours.
I'll do it for half that price.
Oh I think it's time to give up the WM devices and try the iphone, /sigh.

The wife just upgraded her iPhone to the new iPhone 3Gs
Seriously, what a piece of crap. I have been playing with it for the past week ( she won't let me jailbreak it ) and I am dumbfounded.
When she was buying it, I had to bite all the way through my tongue not to be an obnoxious git. The saleswoman : " look at all the brand new great features "
" Twice the speed ", they stopped underclocking the processor, now the phone is twice as fast, but everyone's phone is overheating. "It can send pictures and video" . You mean MMS , wow. " You can not only take pictures but now also video " Really ? Watch this, " call home " and it dials the number. OMG, voice recognition ? Add in GPS, voice memos, cut and paste . What a new technological wonder ...................... I knew I shouldn't have bought my Tilt two years ago and should have waited for the new 3Gs.
My wife's iMac crashed a few months ago and she lost her iTunes library when I had to do a clean re-install of the OS. But no big deal, all her music and iTunes songs were on her phone. So I went to sync her old phone with her iTunes library in order to get all her music and photos to her new phone.
Ahh..........no ! You can redownload all your " paid for music " from your iTunes account, but your other music ? Non transferable. Sync photos ? Ah........no ! Not unless you buy iPhoto. Your kidding right ? Quote from Apple Support...... " the iPhone is not a storage device "
haha, I know what I'm getting into. It is pretty awesome that the Tilt had all that stuff almost 2 years ago. I'm a gadget guy and I need a new gadget, even if I get the next new htc phone, most likely it will be 80% the same as my tilt. The Iphone is a whole new battle for me.
