ACT! Link for Pocket PC international phone + problem - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi,
I run the ACT! v.6 CRM data base on my PC and the Link for Pocket PC on my XDAII and it runs great. Only problem is that on my XDA it inserts my country code (+61 for Australia) which makes all my contact phone numbers invalid.
+61 3396 9000 is invalid
+61 07 3396 9000 is invalid - have to drop the 0 from 07
+61 7 3396 9000 is valid.
Does anyone know how to disable the +61 / international prefix? Or even drop the 0 from the area code?
Much appreciated, I have spent hours searching and trying to resolve this frustrating issue!!

When you add a phone number to act you have to select the style that you want want the numbers displayed.
Select the freestyle and you should be ok. You should only have to select the freestyle once and then you are ok from then on.

Did you solve your issue?
I am having the same issue with Act and the XDA II. Did you resolve yours and if so how?
TIA
Anthony

Unlock HELP please!!!

Hi All
Sitting here with my 64mB XDA trying to unlock it.
Manipulator seems not to work. If I use it I get error in all fields.
Going into bootloader and using Hyperterminal I can get communication OK .... see the following...

SO dualser is sending the XDA into AT mode OK. However if I type in the AT%UREG?3FE00C,4 command the XDA simply returns ERROR.
What am I doing wrong???
HELP!!!
Not sure what the problem is. Try running The Manipulator and see if it unlocks it.
Hi
I have tried the Manipulator several times.
The phone goes from Walalby to GSM sucess OK.
The phone 'clicks' a couple of times.
The Manipulator screen shows:
Status : Reading data from phone
SID ERROR
GID ERROR
No IMEI
timer <non-zero>
and thats it - nothing more can be done.
I have tried the software on three different computers and the same result.
Running ROM 3.14.13 ENG
Radio 4.20
Protocol version 32S54
Phone is only a few weeks old and is 64Mb version.
Everything else works fine on it. IMEI number shows on device information. Radio turns on and asks for SIM unlock code OK.
Running Tom Tom Nav2, Fonix etc on it and all 100%.
If I use Hyperterminal then you get the results as above. If you type ? rather than dualser then the list of commands comes back as it should do.
Really Wierd.
Any thoughts as to what I can try next???
Rog
Just an afterthought...
Could it be to do with Radio 4.20???
Has anyone unlocked an XDA yet with this version of Radio??? Could they have altered the access to the SID in some way with this release??
Rog
Soory to be a pain here but has anyone ANY ideas as to what to do from here???
(If I use an O2 card then the phone is fine so its not a hardware fault).
Have none of you XDA-Developer guys a clue or advice on this??

Fax Software

Can anyone recommend Fax software that I can load onto my XDA II to enable it to sebd and receive faxes? I have a fax number that I had with Orange but O2 do not have the same facilities for fax so I have had to put the number on permanent divert to my home fax. Not good as I cannot read them when I am out on the road working. O2 refused to tell me any fax software as they cannot endorse any companies other than O2, and as O2 do not do the software I am stuffed! Any ideas?
KSE Truefax 2
Try KSE Trufax 2.06 for XDA II, at:
http://www.ksesoftware.com
(although it's not always working with me)
When I download will it wipe off anything I have on my XDA? I am very nervous about downloading stuff as I do not want to loose any info I have on my XDA. Thanks
You can download it and install it simply. It won't wipe anything. When sending a fax, the telephone function is automatically suspended, and, when finished, it goes on again. Sometimes, while sending a fax, the system hangs so you need to make a simple soft reset.
got the trial version can but says no carrier any advice ?
hi jus got the trial version of the sofware when i try to send a fax the program reports - dialing using internal modem - slight pause - then says no carrier signal ....... can you shed some light on this for me please .....
thanks heath.
problem sending faxes !!! solution
hi loaded the software as noted above but on trying out the sofware i kept getting the message no carrier i found some info on the kse website which told me to ring my provider and ask if the sim card was enabled for fax !!!
ang guess what yep i am now waiting for the settings to filter through the system.....
i will report back to this thread with an update in errrrrrr 12 - 24 hours...
reporting back !!!!
very impresive have had the trial version running and have used it succesfully many time to send as yet not received any still working on that but information i have suggests i again need to contact my provider to be issued with a fax number ???....... will keep you all posted. :?
Why we need a fax number from provider?
Why we cannot use a standard gsm number?
Anybody knows another software capable to receive faxes without a special fax number?
:roll:
I beleive you can't fax directly over GSM because it's a completely different set of communication protocols to fax. It's analogue for a start. GSM modems don't know about fax carrier signals etc. What happens when you get a fax number from yoyur provuder is this number goes to a box at your phone provider, which accepts fax protocols and converts things to go via a GSM data channel to your phone.
I wonder if a completely software fax solution would be possible, ie it opens the GSM audio stream and provides a software based implementation of fax comms. Probably impossible as even though anlogue fax and GSM audio are similar bandwidth (9.6Kbps) the GSM audio codec is geared to voice so wouldn't represent the fax singnal adequately.

Fax tones are specifically designed to work over voice systems....
(300 to 3.4K)
as these are the set limitations of earlier Telephone Transmission systems....(4 meg fdm & pcm)
Don't know a lot about GSM though..... :?

Country Code synced from Outlook2003, phone not working

Hi there,
I have synced all my contacts from Outlook 2003 indo the XDA II and cannot make any phone calls any more, after a while of playing around I’ve found out that if I take away the +61 in front of the phone number it dials with no problems.
I have looked all over support forums on the net, have spent many hours playing around with the XDA II but cannot find away around the problem, My reginal settings are all correct (All set to Australia) and all the phone settings I’ve set up as Australia as well.
I would really appreciate it if some one could point out a way to fix this problem I am having, as you can imagine it is VERY annoying editing the number before calling and after syncing up again if you ever edit the contact in Outlook it automaticly puts the country code back in.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated… thanks very much in advance!
:?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
I had the same problem here in The Netherlands.
Your problem is not the +61 on the phone numbers. If you go into Outlook, and take off the leading 0 from the area code, you'll find it working properly again.
The real problem here is that Microsoft designed the software for use with the US phone number system, where area codes don't have leading zero's. Hence, this problem will arise almost everywhere outside the USA.
Microsoft has repeatedly been asked to adapt their software to this problem, but so far with extremely little response.
Thanks VERY much for your reply HageM.. I will give it a go and see how it all works... GREAT WORK!!!

FAXING problem

OK, I have the new KSE True fax its on my XDAII,
(rom 1.72.00wwe, date 03/15/04, radio 1.17.00, protocol 1337.28, ext rom 1.72.181)
I have spoken to the software company, KSE TrueFax, they say its an o2 fault, (latest version supplied for O2 XDA and alike) and O2 say speak to the software company.
The fax when used switches off the mobile then initiates the modem then dials, then says no carrier detected? and switches off.
Yes I have fax enabled, Yes I have a fax number, I also have a Data number which all worked at the touch of a button on my 9210i and still does.
Can anyone help me, my hair is slowly disappearing in lumps!
Cheers

:evil:
Well thanks Mario, its nice to know your fax is working fine!
Trev :shock:
Are there any com port settings that need to be changed
Hey
I have exactly the same problem as you and I started asking about it in another thread on here. However it died when the agreed solution was to ensure that fax was enabled on my service by calling up O2. I havent done this yet because im in the process of switching to Orange.
On the other hand you have definitely done this step already since you have a fax/data number and I assume this number is entered in TrueFax settings. Despite this, you still get the same error message as I do which is puzzling and worrying since some people kindly mention they have no problems!
The TrueFax website isnt much help either saying that "no carrier detected" is a very general message that could mean a lot of things, some listed can easily be elminated. One interesting point is how you enter the number to send the fax? Do you just enter 012345678901 or +4412345678901 or +++4412345678901. The help pages seem to indicate that the ++ or +++ and country code is something to check. I had a mess about with different combinations and it didnt work for me, however I probably dont have fax enabled on my service, which ill try to fix when im on Orange, hehe.
Please could anyone find the cause/solution to this problem or offer any fuurther suggestions?

Faxing problem
Well, after much emailing to KSE, some of the problem is solved.
1, the software switches of the mobile because...........that's the way its designed as its not integrated into the hardware like theNokia 9210i.
This problem will remain untill Mr Gates (Microsoft) allows software houses to fully integrate his and their software into PDA's.
well that's what they tell me anyway.
2, no carrier detected...............several reasons given for this.
a, no fax number
b, no fax number assigned to sim
c, no fax number activated by service provider
d, no data number
e, no data number assigned to sim
f, no data number activated by service provider
Notice that also the latest version of Truefax must have the latest ROM and Extended Rom KSE say.
I have all of this and still nowt!
Returning to Nokia is getting closer....

Faxing Problem
OK, OK
It now appears the latest software from KSE does not work on XDAII with the latest ROM versions it only works on the XDAIIs.
Does anyone out there have a working program on an XDAII with latest ROM version and of course Ext ROM?
Are you or have you had problems running latest KSE Fax software?
What software are you running does it work ?
Does anyone have an older working copy of KSE Truefax for XDAII ?
Can anyone send me a copy which works ?

KSE True Fax 2.06 :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11739
I had the version listed above working on my XDAII before latest ROM upgrade.
After latest upgrade with latest version, it worked straight away after hard reset. Haven't changed any settings at all.
Got it on my MDAIII as well and works fine on that too.
Well the sagacontinues.
NO I don't have a working fax and have tried 2.06 too, the only thing that happened was the first fax it tried to send it asked for the first time what modem I would be using, then did the usual...................NO CARRIER DETECTED!
Yep I have been onto o2 and the usual YES its all on!
I have discovered though O2 have a massive problem at the mo, going back some 6 weeks, their system has packed up and things are not going well with the new installed system.........people are being billed for calls not made! and some are not being billed at all, so those of you on o2 keep an eye on bills etc;
Ah well, suppose its back to my faxing problem....thinking of changing to Vodaphone network.
Fixed It!
Hey
Well I must reccommend to ukmctc to do it and make the switch. I have just changed from O2 to Orange and not only does everything such as GPRS, WAP, MMS all work as before (I had to input new settings), faxing now works without a problem.
On O2 I simply could not get faxing to work and always got 'no carrier detected'. It made me wonder if the people saying it work ed for them were real or not.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
One thing I have ensured I do, and I dont know if it makes a difference is to prefix all numbers in TrueFax with +44 and omit the first 0, including the space where you input your own fax number. This means correcting the provided number when you're using the built-in contacts list to select a number too.
Good luck to everyone thats still having problems, maybe switching network is the solution! :idea: If anyone wants to grill me about the settings I use, please ask away. I am using KSE TrueFax 2.08 as supplied in O2's appsuite.

Faxing Problem resolved!
8)
Yes resolved it was easy to do!, you won't believe how easy......
Put my sim back into my Nokia 9210i and it works perfectly, I can now send receive faxes while receiving or making a voice call or surfing the net.
I'm so happy I could..sit!
Looks like the new toy isn't as good as the old one.
