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?

(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..... :?

Faxes on Qtek S100

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to get faxes on Qtek S100? I have a multi numbering operator's SIM card (data, fax, voice).
How can I do that?
Thanks

Try KSE Truefax ( I think it can be found on the forum) for sending and receiving faxes.

guys, I found this on the developer's website:
NOTE
Please notice that KSE Truefax is NOT running on Pocket PC Phone Edition devices with integrated modem, like XDA I + II, MDA I + II, Qtek, i-mate, etc.
anyone could manage it to work on Macician?

I've just flashed my Magician to JAM_WWE_11100_132_11100 and... guess what... KSE TrueFax is already there!!!

yep, there it is
it also includes the Midlet manager to lounch Java aplications, Photo Contacts and Intellidialer

Did any of you get TrueFax to work?
Have you successfully sent faxes?
Thx.

yes, I did sent and received faxes

Thanks for the feedback.
By the way, can you tell me what maker and version of firmware you are using?
I am trying to use TrueFax with my Imate Jam and am having problems.
TMobile won't help me unless I pay $10 extra per month for a second line to receive faxes on. My complaint to them is that I only want to send and not receive and so I question if my account is enabled for fax data. Of course their techs don't know and only give me the canned response of that I need to buy a second line.
So my next question to you would be inquire whether you had to subscribe to any special additional services in order to send faxes with your service provider?
If there is a situation where it is the IMate Jam ROM that doesn't properly support TrueFax, then I would like to determine that first before signing up to and getting stuck with a contract for an extra $10/month.
Thanks again.

yes, you certainly have to subscribe for the second line (fax/data line) even only to receive the faxes. Truefax will "listen" only your fax line not the current. once you activate send/receive mode on the truefax, it disables your voice line (can not make/receive calls) and listens to your fax line.
it is not possible to use the truefax over your voice line. furthermore, your operator will not allow you the fax transmission over the voice line even if you will somehow manage to use it for faxes.

KSE TrueFax 2
the program does not work with the Magician and other PPC that have integrated modems

kse truefax does work on the magician atleast the one in the latest rom 1.12 does...try sending a fax from your Jam. You need to have a seperate data/fax line activated by your telco to be able to recieve faxes on your Jam
SpeedN

can you check which version of KSE comes with the 1.12 ROM?

can you check which version of KSE comes with the 1.12 ROM?

truefax version is 2.09, which i think is actually what it has always been on every Jam rom ive had.
SpeedN

i have the latest version. v.2.09.
i can send faxes thru jam. but can not receive.
i think the problem is ,as speedn said, i don't have my data/fax line activated.

the latest version is 3.01 - does that definitely not work?
please could someone put the one which comes with the latest imate rom up onto the ftp as a seperate cab if they possibly can?
many thanks

Maybe you should pay a little more attention to the truefax site. There are two versions, one being Truefax 2004 3.01 and that DOES NOT work on the magican as it was made for non-phone-edition devices and the second being Truefax 2.09 and that was made for phone-edition-devices and that one works perfectly with the magician.
Incoming faxes can only be received if the device is in flight mode because the wireless interferes with the fax. That is mentioned in the manual too. Sending a fax disables the wireless and sends the fax and afterwards you have to enable wireless again.
Again RTFM!

Calm down dear!
So its truefax 2.09 which works - does anyone have the cab file for this individual install (which according to manual I am entitled to)?
Thanks

I'm not really sure how that works for you (I have a Qtek S110 and that came without Truefax) but you can dl the 2.09 on sites like Handango, PocketGear etc and if Truefax came with your device you should have reg information too. Otherwise you need to contact the support for you device, iMate or whatever that is so they can support you with a valid version.

on the ftp site
ftp://xda:[email protected]/KSE_Fax_v2.09_BA_WWE_0720_unremovable.CAB
hopefully works on the magician!

Should also point out that ORANGE UK will give you a DATA line free and a ANSWERFAX number free as well.
I believe its only the DATA line which is strictly needed for truefax but ...
might be possible that we could forward ANSWERFAX faxes to your magician.

For those that need this for a magician:
http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/files/sort/?device_id=1&submit=submit
this installs version 2.09.
no need to contact your tech support department and wait weeks for no help and no need for any serial. ;P

Holy...
Thats a lot of software and I've no idea what some are used for.
What is "airstrike_103107.CAB" or "BatteryPatch20050411.CAB"???
And does the Truefax from iMate work on Qtek models too???

glad to see some ppl ar using my site

I can confirm that this file "Default_KSE_Fax_v2.09_unremovable.CAB" from http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/ website works on the O2 XDA Mini. It sends OK but I don't have the dedicated fax number to receive faxes.

Fax and Fax Modem setings

I have a big dillema...i tried more fax soft on my qtek 9000(Universal) WM5. I activated the fax service on my phone, but the big problem is that its not detecting the modem. Is there an additional program for the modem so that i can install it on my phone, or what? Is there someone else who s facing this problem, who tried to install and use the fax on this kind of phone? I understand from other posts that there is a solution for this problem, but no one gives any details...can anyone help me with this?

Hi
Which software are you using for you Qtek 9000.
They is no known software for faxes for WM5.
If you have one work please share it with us.
Thank You

Generally speaking you would have to run KSE and select "receive" and then get the call. It basically requires to talk to the fax sender beforehand. I never got it to work though. Did some research and KSE claims in their homepage that many/most providers are blocking incoming fax calls by default because the want to sell you this feature as an additional option. Contact your provider to find out if that is the case...
