Phone as Fax
 

I am trying to get my computer to identify my phone as a modem rather than as NDIS Internet Sharing Device.

I used to use a program (32bitfax) to send faxes from my old phone.

Anybody have any ideas?

Can you sent fax from your phone? I am looking for it also for the WM.

Hmm... I'd like to be able to do this too. Would be incredibly convenient! :)

There is this:

but do not know if it works for CDMA though..they have a Demo so you can try

I was able to get my computer to recognize it as a modem by installing the drivers located here:

Still haven't gotten 32bitfax to use it yet, but halfway there

Re: Phone as Fax
 

those drivers are for use with wmodem.exe that were included in old phones like the mogul and ppc6700, ppc6600 for dailup networking.

Re: Phone as Fax
 

I am aware. Dialup networking is exactly how you send faxes from your computer

Re: Phone as Fax
 

Did you get wmodem working to share internet first?

Re: Phone as Fax
 

Steps so far
Install wmodem driver
dial ##3424#
plug phone into computer
windows succesfully recognizes phone as htc usb modem

Now I just need to figure out how to configure my computer to send faxes via the modem

Re: Phone as Fax
 

you also get a modem when paired via Bluetooth which requires less hacking, but I haven't yet tried this for fax. Maybe tomorrow night.

I was looking at this, but wasn't getting any response. Wonder if it is a ROM thing or something else I am doing wrong

Hey guys, just use an app called ScanToPDF:

http://www.scantopdf.co.uk/

They make a version that I downloaded from the Sprint Software Store which you can use your phone's camera to take a picture of the document and save it to your phone as a pdf. Then you can email it or you can use faxzero.com to send it as a fax. ;)

I don't think bluetooth would be the option..from what I hear the bluetooth stack used in the TP2 is crap

Re: Phone as Fax
 

I know I am reviving this post from the dead... but I can't seem to find any solution that works. tried google... but no luck.

I understand that fax is as useful as a floppy disk. but once in a blue moon, I do find myself having to need it.

It would be awesome to use tp2 as a winfax. I'm not too crazy about paying monthly fee for some electronic fax service when I only use it once or twice a year.

Back to the point. I was able to install the driver and have my win7 64bit recognize the htc usb modem. but no matter what fax setting i set it as, it just does not respond.

appreciate your input on this.

Have you tried what I suggested in that post?

You just need something like scan2pdf or the photocopy app in the favorite cabs thread to save a document on your device and then use faxzero.
