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..... :?
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

my fax workes fine, Im currently in Amsterdam on there network and all is good
Faxing problem
: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.
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.

Hello!
I have a Qtek 9090 and used a lot the 2020, but both have a little problem. They don't notify when an incoming call has been diverted from another phone number.
So I can't know if the incoming call is for my cell number or for the number that has been diverted to my phone.
I often divert the office phone to my private cell phone and it would be nice to know if the incoming call is private or business... :roll:
Normal phones like nokia and sony ericsson have this function...usually they show a little arrow near the phone number of the incoming call.
Does the Universal finally have it too???
Thank you for the answer....
and I hope you'll enjoy your Universal!
Have a nice day
NO...
Universal doesnt show diverted calls in some different than normal calls...
Doesnt matter whether its diverted call or the normal it rings and display the same.
Is there any other WM phone that can display this 'diverted call' status ??!!?? I am planning to get a TyTn-II (Kaiser) - will it support???

I doubt that, b'cuz i have used no. of Pocket PCs, innumerable ROMs.
This feature of notifyin' diverted calls is not there at all, in WMs.
Adieu..
Samsung i780 WM communicator has this feature if phone skin is enabled. It writes about incoming call being diverted above the caller number right in the baloon.
If phone skin is disabled - the notification for regular and diverted call is the same.
Hi,
I've got an MDA Vario that refuses to make or receive GSM calls, yet GPRS works fine. I've swapped SIM's, Flashed the firmware, and yet if I make a call I just the error tones, and if I ring the phone I get a message saying "This phone is unable to receive calls now".
Any thoughts on what I can try to fix it?
Thanks!
Steve
