I've had HTC Kaiser rom on my phone for almost 9 months now, and I just now noticed the WorldCard Mobile program. I've been evaluating it, and it seems to work fairly well at recognizing the text and putting the information in the proper categories. What I can't get it to do is export that info to my contacts. I've read a few threads on it here at XDA, and some are saying it has to be registered, but I don't see any where to register it within the program. Reading up on the help section talks about [Export to Contact], but it only has "Export" and it doesn't give me an option on where to export. Is this an evaluation only version that came with the rom? Or is it full function and I just don't know what I'm doing?
It does work pretty well. After I take a snap shot of a card and go to exit the program it asks if I want to save as a contact. Mine isn't registered. You may want to download it and reinstall.
I have attached the user manual for worldcard mobile, sounds like you did not have it. Registration, usage and other features are described in detail and should resolve your query.
What i got along with the phone was a 30 day trial...

Thanks for the help file, but that is pretty much the same as is on the phone now, minus a few pictures. It does show what happens when you click on 'export' and mine does not do that. Clicking export will take me back to it's start screen. Clicking the 'about' icon doesn't give me an option to register, it gives me a normal 'about' screen that appears to be a registered version.
I have the install file from from PenPower, I will give that a try tonight.
Work'n now
I reinstalled the program and it is working now.

Cab File?
Can anyone please post the cab file? I am at work and behind a friewall that will not let me go to any peer sharing website or personal storage. I would greatly appreciate it- Thank You.
Sweet! I've been wanting to try this app out.
Can anyone post this cab? Can't get the download sight to work.
I tried ... but the filesize is over the limit ( 5MB ) of the forum
It is almost 6MB.
I'm trying to upload the file all zipped up and having trouble ..failed twice ... maybe it's the long name.
sorry ... tried 3 times... no charms
is it with 30 days trail version?
Accuracy - terrible
I have found the accuracy of WCM terrible. Only cool to impress your friends, not really useable. It get 3s and 8s confused. Can read the letters in graphical company names even though they are clear. OCRs different amounts of information on repeat attempts.
An app like this needs to be rock solid if you plan on quickly capturing the data from a business card and then discarding the card.

I installed this file on my Vodafoen VPA Compact V, the icon appears in programs, I launched it, but nothing happens - does anybody know, if Vodafone somehow excluded this software? Did somebody make the same experience?

My experience has been pretty rock solid, even with cards with A LOT, and I mean a LOT of small text all over the place. The 3Megapixel camera on the Kaiser helps quite a bit.
Of course it's not always 100% with very cluttered cards, but enclosing the information you want by dragging a box around it, and telling it where to put the information in the contact makes it easy to fix any wrong assumptions it makes automatically.
So far I'm impressed. Of course, your mileage may vary.
I think this program is great. However, it always imports the first and last name in the "Last Name" box in Outlook (i.e. instead of putting John as the first name and Smith as the last name, it puts John Smith as the last name). Do I have the settings wrong? Is there a fix? Thanks for the help.
Bump.......
Corrupt .CAB
Tried to install the link above on my tilt, gives me an immediate 'unsuccessful'. WinRAR won't extract it either...any ideas?
Here you go. This is from my repository. Hope it is what you are looking for.

nevermind...
Works fine
worldcard mobile trial
The trial doesn't let you export the captured information to Contacts, so it's pretty useless as a trial. It will show you approximately how accurate it is by capturing the information. I tried it on a business card with three different sets of addresses and numbers. There were a few errors, but overall it does appear to save some time. Now if I could only get Penpower to actually fulfill my online order, so I can start using it....

SAME HERE! besides impressive, works very well (needs light)
The best: seeing Iphone owners face when they see it happening...
Does anybody still has this application?
thanks
When i visit ebay.com.au, the pages never completely display.
I dont recall having this problem with the P3600i i had a couple months back.
Can you please check yours and report back here.
Thanks
Loads fine on my Tilt. Loaded via HSDPA in about 4-6 seconds.
Are you saving your temp Internet files to your storeage card?
thanks for the reply,
I will elaborate more and post a url for you to try.
ok, on my Kaiser, whe i go to ebay.com.au and search an item, you will see the title and image and sellers details.
Then when you scroll down you see in the Listing and Payemtn Details 'HIDE SHOW' and nothing below that. You can click either hide or show, but nothing changes for me.

or just search storm hail cover.
thanks, awaiting your feedback
I wasn't sure where your screen stopped, so I shot a video. Here is the file:

thanks ,
downloading now.

yep, you got it all, but are you using pocket IE, or an enhanced browser?
Yes, Pocket IE with the Pocket IE PLUS
not sure why mine stops just after the first pic and the auction end time, and before all the details. I havent modded my PIE at all.
Are you storing your IE files on your memory card?
no, i didnt think there was an option to store your cache on your flash card.
ps. i tried refreshing the page using both my 3G and home wifi connection. Same on both accounts.
strangley enough it corrected itslef, then did the same things.
This is odd.
Can you log into ebay using your Kaiser.
I can see the whole page if i am not logged in as an ebay member but once i log into ebay as a member, the bottom part of the ebay.com.au page doesnt display.
Why would this only happen when i am logged in as an Ebay member?
Just found this new application, seems to do the same that WIMP does
and more.
I haven't tried it yet, but looks promising:

Of course, for maximum security it would need to be cooked into the ROM.
That seems to be made for kaiser. I just wonder how it can be removed from the device if desired?

I haven't tried it yet, but you probably just go run an EXE in the program folder and enter an unlock code and it uninstalls.

Correct, you re-run the installation file and it gives you the choice of install / repair / remove.
I've tried it and it seems to be great.
There are two additional plug-ins:
GPS ~ For texting the GPS co-ordinates of your phone.
Monitor ~ Sending out details of the incoming calls to the new sim.
It automatically adds your own sim and you can add a list of numbers you want notified if someone installs a non-approved sim (you can authorise other sims).
The whole lot is password protected, and providing you don't keep the install cab on the phone / SD card, it cannot be uninstalled.
I added my works phone to the notifier list and the 'test' function worked without giving me a sent text notification.
Overall, well worth the money.
IMHO
PS. I also read that OS of WM5 and above protect the program if hard reset ... but I can't confirm this as I wasn't going to HR to find out.
Some time ago the master app was being given for free on this very forum. Those that succeeded in being in the first 5 or so hundred got their copies, myself included.
I also went and purchased the 2 add-ons once I tested the app and fallen in love with it
Even if you leave the .cab on your device you cannot uninstall without the admin password, so never fear.
HOWEVER, in order for the app to survive a HR it really needs to be cooked right into your ROM, or, failing that, you have to do some UC-based magic so it re-installs itself after the HR (and re-customizes itself - otherwise what's the point? - but this calls for provisioning etc.). You can go to its forum section to see how best to proceed about it. Me, I have "just installed" it, without any anti-HR measures. For the time being (fingers crossed!).
Ah yes, for boxes other than Kaiser you can also use the ExtROM...
I am currently somewhat excited by RemoteTracker...

Hi Guys
Hope you can help.
I load appointments in Outlook and Sync
The appointment contains the persons name and phone number.
I would like to make a call directly from the reminder or calendar.
Using the telephone number as a hypertext link would be great.
I am normally busy driving to the client so I cant copy and paste or write the number down. Copy and paste does not work when switching to phone mode, does not allow you to paste?
Would greatly appreciate a solution!
(using Touch Diamond)
Have a look at Pocket Informant 8. When you set the appointment you have an option in the righthand soft menu to insert contact link. This then allows you to have the appointment open and access contact info directly from the appointment. Hope this is what you are after.
make a search before u post. look here:

Thanks tempest2112, Pocket informant looks like something that may solve the problem, very useful!
Apologies KukurikU, I did look at the link you provided but don’t have a clue what they are talking about. My knowledge goes as far as copy and paste and installing a program
You need to upgrade to a 1.93 based ROM which has paste function in the dialer... (this one did my head in for ages until I flashed 1.93).
Still need to copy then paste though, so you'll just have to pull over for a second... hang on a mo, you should be doing that anyway!

try the app i am recommending there. i am sure it will fulfill yr wish....i am using it for 3 years and it does exactly what you are asking for. just keep yr stylus on a meeting (for example) and if there is any telephone number in the reminder or in the note the app will inquire if you want to dial it. no copy/paste!!!
sorry for the "you don't have a clue". can't help with that

Hi KukuriKU,
I have installed contactbreeze, but the PIM extension is not appearing in OUtlook (i am checking teh notes section). I am using the SwiftBL 6.5 version of ROM.
Are you using contactbreeze with the Diamond, and did you do anything special to make it work?
Thanks!
Part 1
nothing special.
first options/tweaks/apply dial menu extension.
second, go to the appointment/task that already contain a telephone number and by "long press" you'll get the option "dial number".
i think the set of pics should be enough. for more pics see next post.
if you still have questions, contact me
Part 2-3 more Pics
Her is the end of my explanations:
ContactBreeze Works now!!

Thanks for the excellent clarification provided KukurikU! I was trying to select the number in teh notes section and then trying a long press.... this just used to bring out teh cut/copy menu item. I didnt know I had to perform the long key press in the main screen... anyway many thanks for your help - issue sorted now.
BTW ContactBreeze does solve the issue of the missing dial from PIM feature in WM6.
The only extra thing I would wish is if it could handle pauses and auto-pin entry using DTMF. For example in many of my appointments I have a conf call number and then when I dial that I need to enter a pass code (maybe 4 or 6 digits).
What I usually do is provide something like +44800345678pp321458# to dial and there is no need to enter information manually. If contactBreeze had this feature then that would have made this the ultimate soluion!!
Hi there,
using a touch Diamond and some time ago went through a ROM upgrade and used Sprite Backup.
On the messagign screen I now have some phantom mail boxes on the right hand side. If you click on the envelope it will come up saying "no Messages". If you then click on inbox it will take you to the Select an Account screen (as the selected account doesn't actually exist)
If you go through to the Windows Mobile interface you can only see the current mailboxes which are configured.
I have looked into the option of creating a new backup and hard reset and restore without the mail and configure all over again but would like to avoid this as I have found in the past this leaves me with duplicate records (due to sycing with multiple machines).
I am looking to find where I need to go to remove the phantom mailboxes. Looking around I am assuming there must be some configuration files or registry elements for TouchFlo which tells it to display the folders.
Does anyone know where this information is to edit or delete? All ideas are welcome and encouraged.
Thanks in advance

i have the same problem.Did you find the solution for this?Please post.
I have the exact same problem and it's quite anoying
i had the problem once too, and then I was advised to use the file i'm posting here. Copy to phone and run the .exe from phone.
I got it from another thread here on XDA-Devs, but don't remember who to credit.. Post if successful.
