Downloaded and installed. Is a trial version. Couldn't get it to work. Any suggestions on where to find the instructions on how to use the program?

I'm not sure if the build-in modem supports fax but if so, than only via GSM not via UMTS. Do you have a 3G connection or a simple GSM-connection?
I assume a GSM. Using the ATT Tilt. The program will open but can't figure out how to take a document and fax it. No help documents on the program.

Thanks for the replies. It seems that we all have the same interests. It would seem logical to me that this is highly possible because the device has all the necessary abilities, just as any other computers, for sending faxes. So, I thought there may be a Winfax or Fax Works software for WM6.
Here's the free trial software that I found.

as I know, you guys need to open up fax service from your local network supplier.

it means telephone customer services for AT&T/TMobile, etc (or whoever your network operator is) and speak to them about what you are wanting to do.
For a lot of network operators, this is a service that they have to enable on your account.
I was extensively using fax on my Nokia 9500. However, after shifting to win mobile I have been unsuccesful. kse truefax told me there is not enough available to them from HTC etc. You need to tell your phone service provider to activate fax (like data or GPRS). Any actual success stories are welcome to me
I've been using an http://www.myfax.com account. Seems to work pretty good. Incoming faxes are in .pdf, if you want to send a fax you compose an email and send to [email protected]
I don't know how it is for most GSM providers but with mine you can receive faxes without the phone company having to turn on anything but sending faxes would require them to enable the fax services.

That's what I mean!
On my SIM card I have both CSD as well fax service enabled through my mobile network provider.
Now when I put this SIM in my Nokia 6600 I can get WinFax Pro to recognize the Nokia as a modem and so I can use WinFax pro on my PC to send a fax using the Nokia as a modem.
However when I put the same SIM in my Kaiser the WinFax Pro on my PC does not recognize it as a fax compatible modem.
So I assume that the modem on the Kaiser is not fax compatible. Any suggestions and views welcomed

This is only a fax software. It won't work as intended unless you have an online fax service feature from a provider.

hi,
do anyone knows if it is possible to send and recv faxes via ppc.
rgds
With ppc (Pocket PC) you can use KSE TRUEFAX.
BUT:
With the XDA they still have some troubles. I think they have a trial version where you can test it.
greetings,
Kaputter
Fax with XDA
I have managed to download the fax software from the site and get it to work! Accordinging to O2 here, I'm only the second person IN Australia!
They gave me no advice, ditto the phone service provider!
Sending faxes is easy, download the software, set up Truefax as follows:
Banner Name: Your name, eg Bill Smith
Banner Number : 0410999000 (your phone no.)
Station Id: phone no. again.
Tick send banner box.
Receiving faxes is more difficult. Here you need to have another number (mobile) allocated to receive faxes. The faxes when I trialled this, get stored in a message service, rather than being received by the XDA. In the message service, you can specify where they be sent onto, eg home/office fax.
As I am sending heaps of faxes, the receing of is not really required, so I ditched the mobile incoming fax no. after 1 hr as I couldm't get it to work!
The service in Aus. works well with sending though. I'm with Telstra, apparently not all service providers are set up for this, so check!!!
Truefax
My only options for truefax are Com1 Serial on usb etc. Do I have a hayes compatible modem in my device?
Com 2
Ralph, when I use my XDA here in Australia with Telstra to send a fax it throws up a Com 2 thing when I press send.
I love the facility, I used it today to construct and send a fax to a customer who had lost my quote from last week. She needed it to place an official order, I stopped my journey, constructed the fax and sent.
I rang through and her colleague was just passing her the 'new' quote!
So is there a modem on com3, is this from the cradle? Which phone?
Not sure what you mean
Ralph, not sure what your question actually is !
My advice would be to download the Truefax sofware from the xda site, go for the trial version. Set it up as I have mentioned on this thread.
When I send a fax on my xda it goes through com2.
Just download the trial software and give it a go.
If you have set it up properly and it doesn't work, it may be your mobile carriers fault, in which case contact them. Here in Australia I'm with Telstra and it works, I have heard rumours it won't with some carriers.
Anyway, I'm off to sort out a BMP for my fax cover page rather than have the O2 XDA one!
Well for you AT&T folks, right now the modem is not able to connect on the GSM network. Just to keep folks from using an ISP for internet connection. So Truefax will attempt to d-liver but will get a no response type error message.
Maybe this will change...
this phone Kaiser 120, Does it have Fax modem. if any body knows a please let me know.
Shd support,check wiwki and hermes section, there it is mentioned how to use a s a fax Modem.One has to have Fax/Data services enabled on SIM and are differrent than GPRS.

yes man, Kaiser is Tytn2, Hermas is Tytn, tytn had fax modem, so thats why i want to that.
Hey Maldives are you sure the TyTn had a fax modem?
I could always get my windows xp winfax pro to use my Nokia 6600 over bluetooth as a fax modem. However I could never get the TyTn to be recognized as a fax modem. I was therefore suspecting TyTn did not have a fax compatible modem. Maybe I was doing something wrong.

modem does not = fax modem...
and that site says that it doesnt have a touch screen, GPS, PTT and doesnt support stereo output... all things that it does or can be made to do
Sorry to interupt you, guys
1. Kaiser can act as FAX modem.
2. You must have CSD Service activated on your SIM card first in order to recieve FAX/ DATA CALL on your handset.
3. CSD (DATA CALL) / FAX service may not be available in you area or from your preferred GSM carrier. Please contact you GSM carrier Data Support for information regarding activation of CSD (DATA CALL)/ FAX services on your SIM card.
4. _ALL_ HTC handsets released to date have CSD capabilities.
I hope it helps.

Dear I have this service on my GSM network (dhiraagu), and i used this function on Xda2 mini, it works fine, it send fax directly to fax machines.
im looking to buy htc kaiser 120. im trying to know about this. so thank you very much.
Look this compare sheet.
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer
After reading all these posts I am still skeptical if TyTn or TyTn II or for that matter any of the Windows Mobile 5 or higher devices can be used to send or rerceive faxes.
As pointed out by Maldives the device he mentions was a pre WM5 device and there was a program by the name of TrueFax which could be used to send faxes. This program had never been updated for compatibility with WM5 or higher.
I once had the Imate PDA2K which was a WM 2003 SE device. I could use Truefax to send and receive faxes. Later I upgraded to the Imate Jasjar and then to Imate Jasjam and now to HTC Touch. I still cannot find any program which is compaitble with these devices to handle faxes. Of course I have the CSD service enabled and also a dedicated fax number given to me by my mobile service provider. It is the same SIM I was using with the Imate PDA 2k
In order to send / receive faxes firstly you must have a software to handle faxes. This does not exist for WM5 and higher devices.
Or
The modem on your device must be detectable as a fax modem by one of the Windows XP / Vista faxing softwares such as winfax pro. Again this does not happen.
I therefore think that none of the windows mobile 5 / 6 devices has a fax modem. CSD yes, but no fax no matter what the different websites say.
I hope I am wrong but I would love to hear from someone who has yet actually used any of the WM5 / 6 devices to send / receive faxes.
Regards
Well. Not true.
all HTC devices are FAX service capable.
TruFAx has been designed in a twisted way and requires handset to be initiated in FAX modem mode first...
You would not need this normaly.
I am sure that TruFAX has been discontinued due to very limited demand for that type of software application these days.
Just letting you know that our product (SecureGSM) requires CSD service to operate. Therefore we have to make sure that all HTC devices are DATA call enabled. You can take my words for it. I am speaking from experience.
I hope it helps.
This thread is a little over my head but the ability to use the Kaiser to fax sounds very handy. Would some one be able to evaluate the differing opinions in this thread and give a run down of how some one unfamilure with the information may go about making use of this function?
So has anyone tried SecureGSM?
I really need the TyTN II (kaiser) to work as a modem. Or to at last send faxes!
any body have wm6 compatible fax softwares...
i have htc tytnII.
Anyone know how to fax data through our Kaiser? I serached it for a long time, but still no luck. Can anyone teach us step by step. Very appreciated.
I used Nokia 9500 communicator for sending faxes quite often. However, I broke my head on Jasjar but did not succeed. Was told by KSE Truefax there are hardware and software issues that do not allow faxing on Jasjar etc. Now, if somebody is sure about HTC TyTnII sending fax then he should give step by step instructions. He must have Actually tried and succeeded. That will settle the issue.

Believe me your TyTn II cannot send faxes. There are so many people on this thread who are arguing that it can be used for sending / receiving faxes but no one gives instructions as to how this can be accomplished, the reason being that it simply cannot be done.
Hi there
I'm due for an upgrade (got a HTC Wizard @ mo) and wanting to avoid carrying mobile & blackberry - have read that I can put BB Connect on Kaiser and this seems a good option.
My question is - work use Vodafone for BES - but do I need to be on the same network or can I stay with Orange and get BES activated on my account? I use my personal phone (had same number for years!) and just bill the company back - so would prefer to stay with Orange (for call plan) if possible.
Have asked Orange (UK) and they couldn't give me an answer that made sense, so thought I'd ask here!
Thanks for any help

BB Connect on O2
O2 have just released the Kaiser and i before i go and purchase one i was wondering if anybody knows whether the blackberry client will work on it and where i can get it from if possible. thanks

Your Kaiser can work as a blackberry if you install BlackBerry Connect 4 on your device. Regarding the SIM card, it has to be the one given by your Blackberry service provider. I mean if you use Orange for the phone, and if Orange is not you blackberry provider (it shouldn't be) then you will have to put the blackberry SIM card in your Kaiser and use another phone for your Orange SIM card (I know blackberry can also provide the phone functionality if you ask it and of course pay for it...).
I know you can put two SIM cards in your Kaiser using a specific tool (the brand name is SIMORE) but I don't know if it works with the Blackberry SIM cards (all I know is that is does not work with 3G ...).
thanks for the reply - what do you mean when you say that Orange shouldn't be my blackberry supplier?
surely i can get phone & blackberry on the same sim card, rather than use 2 sims?
not sure if i have an answer to the question yet either. to receive work e-mail do i need to be on the same network (i.e. vodafone) or can i be on a different one (e.g. orange)?
thanks

BB Connect comes on the application disk and is running on my Stellar right now. Obviously you have to tell O2 you want a Blackberry tariff before it will work.
I've had it running since I got my phone on Friday and my only complaints so far are that it didn't pull down all my old emails off the server like my 'real' Blackberry did/does and it appears you have to go through the Blackberry Internet Explorer shortcut to browse the web.
Blackberry tariff is £10 a month for (allegedly) unlimited email and browsing, though I suspect there is a FUP of 200meg, like on the data bolt on.
Hello All,
I bought a prepay Side-Kick Tmobile sim card in Memphis today, after activating it and toping it up. I put it in my Kaiser. Auto connection setup started nicely and found tobile USA settings.. whoever, I am unable to attatch to the data network.. when ever I try and connect, the E with arrow icon starts working around, but then it stops and a message reading: Cannot connect for unknown reason (then it goes on about changing settings etc)
I looked everywhere for answers, (as I id like to think im more intelligent than just asking a question that could be dumb :-D) but i could not find a thing that worked about this.. and the things i did find were not helpful..so apologies in advance if there was an obvious place for my answer but i missed it some how..
The Device Information is:
ROM: Dutty WM6.1 WWE (CE OS 5.2.19716, build 19209)
Date: 04/01/08
Radio: 1.64.08.21
Protocol Version: 25.74.40.02H
I would hope that someone can help me, as i am desperately needing to get connected... im visiting from the UK and my silly sim card malfunctioned and i can no longer get online :-(
Many Thanks

Sidekick data tries to connect to Danger (manufacturer of SKs) Servers for internet connection, any other devices will not work on that service. You need to use the service that they offer for regular cell phones called Tzones or the data plan for smartphones

I tried the file (its one of the solutions i found and didnt work before posting).. what it did that it refused to even try and connect. it was something to do with having the Prixy settings active..so really im not sure what to do..
I tried to get through to Tmobile CS, but im almost sure that they will have no clue on what to do, but i was too late in the evening, so I will try tomorrow..
Any more ideas are Warmyl welcommed!
Thanks
from what i've read it seems that the sidekick data plans will not work on our devices.. as i was planning to do the same thing it seems that only the unlimited text would work not the data probably due to the fact that the data connects through danger which would detect that it's not a sidekick.. i was disappointed to find this out b4 as well
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
So what does a man have to do to get access to get pay as you go mobile access( in the US)!? does any one know any other service provider that would sell me a prepay sim that will have some kinda daily data package?
cant tell you who dissapointing this is!

I totally agree! I ran into the same problem as you. I am in the USA for 3 weeks and want a cheap (prepaid) mobile data connection. The best option seems to be: T-Mobile Total Internet Plan $40 month-by-month unlimited EDGE + WiFi.
ATT also sells prepaid sims under the name Go Phone...

The Sum of All Fears!
Well to sum up,
I managed to get through to tmobile CS, they confirmed what was mentioned before about Side Kick servers. so the anser is No to all other devices besides to "side kick" (the handset)..so no Kaiser, or anything else!
I guess that i will have a new addition to my sim collection!
Many thanks to all that gave thier opinion and tried helping out
Ta
i actually had the same problem. and i downloadede a Dutty Tmobile set up worked wonders! make sure you install it to device .
i downloaded the zip onto my memory card. inserted it into phone searched my memory card opened the zip and used the DUTTY tool to set up connection. installed the program onto device and once installed you will need to do a soft reset in. once the phone comes back on it will prompt you to set up the tmobile connection.
hope it helped
Hello, my dear talent xda delevelpers,
I bought a T-mobile HD7 online few days ago, and i am using it in China now, the operator is China Mobile. I face some troubles these days, and i am searching the whole world but i can't get the answers, please help out.
1. How to identify HD7 is unlock or not? Then i know if i need to unlock it.
2. I could not get any date service (Wifi is not available for me), i am sure i input the correct APN but no data service in HTC HUB/marketplace/Emails, ect. Data connection of the same SIM card works on my old phone O2 Xdalli perfectly, but not on HD7. Is it because of not unlock or how can i get advance settings?
3. I heard that there is "CONNECTION SETUP" on other HD7s, but i cann't find it in marketplace or HTC webside, can somebody send me this app? maybe i can solve the data connection problem with it. Also, i want an "ATTENTIVE PHONE" app, please send me as well if you have.
4. My last question is, i got a T-mobile SIM card in the box, is it come along with any balance or package? Can I use it in China by roaming?
Waiting anxiously and really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.
1.Try putting your local sim-card ,if there is no network then yours is locked.
2.For data connection , I got HTC Connection Setup.
You can download it from Marketplace.(its under HTC apps)
Since you dont have Wi-fi I recommand you do this setup at your friends,Or at some internet center.
3.Sorry I dont think its currently possible to send over apps.You have to get it from Marketplace yourself.
4.As for the last question , hy dont you try using the T-Mo card and see what happens

1. Yes i am using my local SIM and got good reception, calls and SMS works fine, is that mean i got HD7 unlock? How to identify lock or unlock?
2. Still i could not find connection setup from marketplace app. Under genres, there is "tools", and i rolled so many pages but i cant not find. I searched also, there is only an app named "student connection", do you have an address? or tell me how to find it?
3. I successfully make it prison break, haha
I will try my T mobile SIM later, and see what happens :)
OK, I successfully flash ROM, the SingTel version:
RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed
