One of the things I found really useful with my old Nokia 9210i was the built-in fax software. Very handy when on the road and you need directions or info in a hurry.
So, was quite pleased that the XDA2s came with fax software. However, I have NEVER been able to recieve a fax.
I do have a dedicated FAX number (& Data number) through O2, and this works fine using the 9210i. I can send out of the XDA2s OK, though it does annoy me that the voice side of the radio gets switched off. However, when I set it to recieve, it answers the call OK, the fax on the sending machine goes through, and then it throws a send error.
The XDA2s just sits there saying 'connecting', and then after a while 'serial port timed out'.
I have had to resort to a Digital Fax-to-email service whilst on the road, and whilst this works OK to a fashion, its not quite as immediate or useful as having the fax delivered straight into your PDA.
Any info or tips anyone has welcomed. Also, interested to hear if you have struggled to get it to work without success.
Seems pointless having the software without the full functionality.
what about qtek 9000 (universal)?
I have a big dilema...will it ever be possible to use fax on my qtek 9000? I have all the required fax services on my sim and software on my phone (TrueFax 2.09), but it still not working to send or receive fax from my device...
And about the fax modem...is this an aditional software, or what because my phone is not detecting any fax modem?

is anyone know where can i buy the program in uk i did try in handango but they said not for sell in this country.thanks
It is not posible outside EEUU, I asked handandgo by email and answer it was forbiden by Microsoft.
Try Fonix software it works really well.
www.fonix.com
Cheers
If you have an XDAII, then you can get a fully working version of it with the official o2 UK 1.72 upgrade. I don't use it very much as I always feel an idiot saying the name, then normally having to confirm it before dialing, when I can just as easily go into speed dial or call history etc.
However, when I have used it it works a treat.
Cheers

I use Fonix in the car all the time and its works great for me.
I found that Voice command recognised the contact I wanted 95% of the time, but then didn't recognise me saying 'yes' to confirm it.
In my case, Fonix does not always recognize my 'NO' command... :S
But still it's a great contender for MS VC....
By the way, is there a way to avoid Fonix to change my microphone AGC setting? It always changes it to AGC OFF, thus the recognition gets affected drastically, however when AGC is ON I get 98% success rate!
TIA,
Rayan
what version of Fonix voice dial are you using. I used the first version with my XDA1, this worked wonderfully.
I have found that the 2.0 version doesn't have a UK voice (the us ones are a bit odd). In addition i have noted the recognition does seem poor and it doesn't repeat the contact, just says "your contact"!!
Any ideas / help always welcome!
voice commands
hi,
you don 't really have to buy this software, you can download it probabely from following site: www.suprnova.org
I'm using the latest version (2.0)...
The weird thing is that it does not always change the AGC Setting...
I have not found a pattern, it seems more like random...

hi i have a orange sim with 2 lines and when i put it into my m2000 i cannot find a way to select line 2, ive rung orange but they did not know if the m2000 supports line 2, can someone out there please help me. thanks in advance.
The SPV M2000 DOES NOT support Line 2.
It actually used to say this on one of the Orange Info pages about the SPV M2000 but I can't seem to find it now.
Sorry. You are out of luck
It does accept incoming calls and text's on line 2.
However as stated you can not text or phoen out on Line 2.
I was under the impression that this was a software issue and was being investigated by Orange ? ? ? ?

Yes it's definetly a software issue, because as you've said the phone does receive them, but I think it's more down to Windows Mobile 2003 SE. Does ANYONE have a Pocket PC phone that *does* support Line 2?
It's not going to be something Orange can fix though. At least... I wouldn't think they would be able to.
I've also noticed that it doesn't support Fax either :-( Same problems. Can receive on it, but not send via dedicated fax number :-(
(I'm using an XDA IIs, but the standard O2 ROM didn't do any Line 2 etc, nor does the iMate PDA2K ROM it's running now)
:-(
well based on this it does not support line 2 (long way down the text)

Fax is operator dependent (and you need the software)

Hi,
Yes I've got that software/operator support already, but it won't just automatically receive the fax number. At least I can't make it. There's only a "next call is a fax" which isn't particularly helpful.
And when you send a fax it goes from your primary number, not the fax number that's lined up with your account. That's the problem I have anyway.

Anyone know if it's possible to get BB Connect working on the Rogers network in Canada? Have an XDA IIs and have BB Data set up on my Rogers account.
Got the BB Connect sw working, it generated a pin, etc., but couldn't get it to connect to the Desktop sw. I tried manually changing my pin in bwc as well but it wouldn't take the generated pin or the IMEI.
Talked to Rogers and they didn't seem to know much. They said something about RIM registering pins in thier database, but didn't have any definitive info.
Any ideas, or am I hooped until Rogers comes out with a Pocket PC device?

Weird, I was just looking at that today. Was going to install mymail on my xda IIs, but then decided just to use outlook pop3 polling instead. (heard that mymail is a serious power draw).
I'd love to hear if anyone has been able to get BB connect to work.
I am curious on how you got a PIN?
I have spoken with several Rogers reps and they definitely will not support it or help, although one of their techs told me that someone with a Nokia got the BB connect working. I will look through HOFO to see what I can dig up.
Once again, please explain how you got the PIN

The PIN is generated by the device, nased on some magic and the IMEI number. This is the unique identifier.
RIM can detect the software version and the operator being used to connect via - and they block any they consider to be 'unauthorised'. So it's not as simple as just copying the CAB file to your device and running it - the real issue is RIM being twits and not allowing anything to work unless your carrier pays the RIM tax (and then charges you of course!).
Occasionally some connections get through - but RIM are worse than the IRS - they WILL FIND YOU
:twisted:
I got the pin generate by just activating the BB Connect sw on my device.
I tried MyMail as well, but couldn't install the device software. This was really weird:
Installed the desktop sw, pointed it to my exchange server and it worked fine. It redirected all the emails to the mymail web client so I could see them there (similar to bwc). The problem was that I couldn't load the device software. It is only available via an OTA site. When I tried to get to the site from my browser, it always re-directed me to the regular MyMail home page. No one at Rogers, or Visto could send me the app itself, so I gave up.
groo - how does the outlook pop3 polling work?
I just entered my mailserver info in pocket outlook and set it to check for email every 5 mins.
If i install fax program in my laptop, there are some way for connect the dash to the laptop for use with this faxprogram for send fax??
Some kind of motorola phone can work how modem but need data plan in the line.
thanks
a possible solution....
I know this is not the answer you want, and I'd be interested if it is possible to use the dash as a fax, too!
But the following works: there are some internet sites that let you send a fax by sending them a file (or maybe e-mailing a file). I started using one that is based in Germany: http://simple-fax.de (I've nothing to do with them, and haven't even been a customer for a long time...) A fax inside germany costs 0.07 EURO cent per page, and to the US 0.08 EURO cent per page. You have to fill up your account with paypall, and you get 14 cents free for a trial. To this site you send PDFs.
Many other such services exist - I'm sure there are also lots based in the US.
Of course you have to think about privacy and security of what you send!
Yeah You Can

You can totally do that. Just go to internet sharing on your phone. If you have a data plan already, it will allow you to use your Dash/Excalibur as a modem for your pc to gain access to the internet.
If you need any more info just pm me or post on this thread. Later.
yes but do you say access to internet with the connection of the dash, but from the laptop you cant do call to any phone fax number for send fax.
if you know how.
thanks

Try sending the text you want to a fax machine and see it it responds. I know you can recieve a fax call, never thought to send one LOL.. I'll have to try it when I get home and see if it works.
i call to the fax number from dash and the faxmachine in the other side respond, i can use fax program from laptop or faxprogram from dash,
if i would connect the dash, how modem ,to the laptop. maybe will work.

Dash is capable of FAX calls both sent and recieved. It just there are not much of market demand for that sort of applications these days. Therefore developers are hesitant to release FAX program for mobile phones.
almost program are for ppc , i tried install in the dash but are not made for this phone.

Hello All,
I believe there are many like me who would love to get the Blackberry Connect Software working on their HDs. At the moment, it seems like black magic how to get it working and the other thread doesn't really contain much useful information on working configurations.
So far, we know the following:
1. It is Radio, ROM and SIM card dependent.
2. You need to have the BB service provisioned on your SIM and have the new style SIMs that support full data functions.
3. Latest version of BB Connect required for TouchHD (4.0.0.106). This is available from HTC Asia on on the internet (just search these boards)
What i'd like to use this thread for is for people to post WORKING configurations with as many details as possible regarding the setup/installation procedure. I'll start with the only configuration I've managed to get working so far.
ROM: Dutty's 1.9b extreme
Radio: 1.12.25.16
SIM: Blackberry service from MTN
Installation/Procedure:
- Flash ROM
- Install BB Connect software
- Provision SIM card
- Connection was activated after a few hours.
Other information:
- The BB connect service defaults to IE as the browser.
- BB Push email service worked but with lag. SEVEN was much better in this regard.
- I was unable to get messenger, stock tabs, weather update, google maps, etc to use the BB connection
- BB push email service creates its own mail folders on your device regardless of what you already have.
- BB email folders do not have full flip to scroll to next message functionality in TF3D.
- BB email did not display pictures, etc
Please lets have other users chime in here and perhaps we can get a Wiki section created for BB Connect on the HD. Lets please keep to the same format as above to keep the information easily referenced and trackable.
Thanks
Thanks for the info, I have been able to run the service with all ROM's expect for the ones built on 6.5 OS's..
Connection was instant in each installation (right after a reset I am connected - then I'd push my service book -- done)
I do not have any lags in mail arrival.
Its satisfactory for me- but as you said you have to stop the BB service prior to any attempt to use the data connection for other purposes (IE, weather...etc)
Only thing I miss is the blackberry messenger.
Thanks for the thread.
Taiseer
Thanks for responding Taiseer.
Could you tell me what mobile operator and country you're using? Secondly, what do you mean by push your service books? Is than an automatic process or manually performed by you? In the installation that worked for me, I didn't do anything of the sort.
After installing did you have your BB sim in the phone or did you insert it later?

I am currently residing in Oman and its Omantel...
and normally what I do after the 1st installation and device reset, all of my mail arrives to a new mail account named system..(and I won't be able to send or reply to mail from it), so to be able to get the rest of my accounts and have a better use out of the service, I log on to the Operator's blackberry's site and manually demand a service book sending.. in few seconds mail arrive into auto formed mail accounts..
As far as the SIM card its always in the HD..
It looks like SEVEN may be better for me then, how does battery compare between the two.
Thanks for the information Taiseer. My provider does not offer the internet log on option so I guess I will need to get them to push the service books to me somehow. When I install the software with the sim in it, i get nothing after a soft reset. No pin and no ip address. Did you find that MS Live or any other microsoft service was able to use the BB connection or is it just the browser?

Seven has a good service and I've had no complaints. The BB data plan is the cheapest where I live though. So if you can get unlimited (or cheap) data packages, stick with SEVEN. I didn't notice any differences with battery life.

No - you got to stop data connection, but because I am used to my WIFI conection and hotspots everywhere I normally do not discounnect the BB connection, DO you??
Whilst my service worked I was too scared to disconnect the BB connection so I just didn't use any of the other services. It sucked. I've just flashed Davideuck's newest V 2 ROM so we'll see if i can get it working.
Okay, great news people. I've got my service working on Davideuck's Version 2 rom. It required a call to my network provider. For all those installing on a HD, its down to your provider regardless of what they say.
Taiseer, thanks for the heads up about the blackberry page for my subscriber. I managed to track mine down and set up my email accounts from there.
Woohah!
I am using a stock ROM 1.14.405.3(22273) WWE, Radio 1.09.25.15
I hate to have to use a cooked ROM, I've used Dutty's ROM's on my Kaiser and they worked well but this phone works so well I don't want to mess things up.
I believe the stock ROM should work as well. Be sure to hassle your service provider to set it up on their end. I think some providers are not pleased to offer the BB service for non BB phones and do not fully enable the service (they can tell that its not a BB phone from the PIN number). After a talk with my provider, I was told to reset my phone and presto! all was working.
It works on on my Kaiser so I know it works on my T-Mobile plan. I may mess with the radio's to see what I can do.
Sorry to keep adding to this thread but I have some new developments. I upgraded the ROM to 1.19.831.0 and Radio 1.09.25.14
I have version 106 and ran the desktop software, it switched the PIN from the Kaiser to the HD. I changed the version reset the device and now I have the service books and an IP address.
When I look at the status I get network available>data tunnel available then not connected.
Update, since it wasn't working I tried to reinstall BB Connect on the HD, when I tried to configure I got the PIN 0 error. As a last resort I put the SIM in the Kaiser and configured it, then switch to the HD, configured it and it worked!
I'm not sure but it looks like changing the PIN was all I needed to do.
blackberry working great on orange uk htc touch HD standard phone
I downloaded the blacberry install files form a link on this forum, I belive it was the same blackbery files from HTC.
Rom Version 1.19.61.1 wwe
Radio 1.09.25.14
Installed the BB app to phone - then went to start settings > system >" click" icon blackberry.
Blackerry connect (identity) tab shows 3 bits of info
PIN said something like waiting for PIN
IMEI 78*******************
IP Address No connection
Spoke to orange asked for blackberry service. they said 5 permonth £ 250MB of blackberry
Orange sent me text message with a pin number and told me of the orange blackberry site to go to I think it is blackberry.orange.co.uk
On the blackberry.orange.co.uk I enterd the PIN number from the text message and IMEI number.
My phone recived a text a turned it of and turned it back on.
Checked the Blackerry connect (identity) tab
PIN was now populated with the pin that was in the text message
IMIE still there
IP Address says connected.
Went back to the blackberry.co.uk setup my email accounts with blackberry the pressed service book. looked at my phone 20 mins later and my there email accounts were there 2 for work and 1 for home.
I dont do much surfing on the phone but opera works and and the blackberry is fantastic.
orange were very helpfull on this.
But saying that blackberry is really a network service Windows Live I belive does a similar thing you get push email.
I'm glad to see people are getting it sorted. There are certainly many other options for connectivity and push email. Some even work better than the BB service. The reason i'm on the BB service is that its the cheapest way to browse regularly and get push email in my part of the world. When a page can cost as much as 30 pence via gprs versus 20 pounds a month for unlimited data on the BB plan, its a no brainer. Yes, I'm painfully aware we're being gouged but theres no getting away from that.
I have a problem with blackberry connect...
Everything installed just fine, receiving message OK, BUT...I can't send mail because option new mail, reply on mail also, is disabled
Very strange, because I used earlier bb connect on diamond and everything worked...
Any solutions?

Its probably because you are only having the "system mail account" you should try to send your service books to your winmo via provider
Thank you very much - I'm tottaly forgot the way how to do that, working now!
Problems with BB connect on HTC HD
Hi guys,
after setting up successfully BBconnect on my HD, I noticed that when I send emails from my BES account on my laptop, I always find them in my Inbox (not in Sent Items as I would expect) of my HD reporting me as Sender and no body message in it. Instead, should I send emails from my handled device, I always find them in Sent Items of my device as expected....Has anyone of you faced the same issue?
Thanks...
