Same thing happening on my server as well. Tried the 1.20 display and the 2.0 test one and both are doing the same thing. Doesn't matter if it's the andoid or wm version either which points to it being a google problem.

Rubbish at Javascript but will see if I can see what's going wrong.

PS No rush on adding the angle for me, working it out on the server side by reading the last 2 positions and then using....

$bearing = (rad2deg(atan2(sin(deg2rad($lon1) - deg2rad($lon2)) * cos(deg2rad($lat1)), cos(deg2rad($lat2)) * sin(deg2rad($lat1)) - sin(deg2rad($lat2)) * cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2rad($lon1) - deg2rad($lon2)))) + 360) % 360;
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for trying that. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully Google hasn't changed the API...

Sorry you have to do that to calculate the angle! I will take a look now.
[Android Apps and Games] 20100v:
Sorry to says that again, But I've a real porblem with the tn (trip name).

On Offline mode position are stored localy (on the phone) with ne good name Auto_2011_11-26 22:30:23. But on each http request , tn is 000, 400, 500, ....

Maybe I missed something on the options.

Offline data is always, export type is gpx, export auto is off, auto trip name is ok, no aito tracking, no auto start, no auto minimized, no sms, keep screen off, run with hight priority on, gps source o,n, wifi and cell off, ...

I'm on 1.3. Just sen the 1.3.1 which I'll try as soon as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] 20100v:
Ignore this message, everything is OK with the 1.3.1.

Congratulations !

[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You need to update to 1.3.1 to resolve that problem. However you have you delete your existing offline data before using it.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I exporting some trips to Google Earth and the pushpins don't show up either. I only see a red X sign.

Could you try that? This is driving me crazy.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It seems that the location where google stored the icons doesn't exist anymore.

It was here:

http://labs.google.com/ridefinder/images/

EDIT: The whole Google labs is closed. I didn't know about this...

EDIT2: I just fixed it. I got the icons from somewhere else and add them to the TrackMe folder. I have also modified the export.php file.

I will try to do the same with the viewer.

EDIT3: The viewer is fixed too. I have also updated the server.zip package with the new files and modifications for people using their servers.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available

1.4.0

New: Positions now include angle information. This angle will be displayed as an arrow in the web viewer or Google Earth.

New: Now you can select No Minimum distance when uploading positions.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Thanks, diff'ed and updated my local copy ;) One of these days i should clean up and diff against your latest and give you a copy in case its useful. I don't even recall what I changed at this point, most useful stuff is exporting inside of the viewer as I recall.. Download current view, download another view (a date range).. Mostly I use it for a live KML I created and in Google Earth it'll bring up all trackme points around that location. Comes in pretty handy sometimes. :)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That would be great. I like our current viewer but I think it needs more functionality. Have you clean your code a little bit? I mean like getting rid of global variables or some redundant code.
[Android Apps and Games] 20100v:
Good ! no minimum distance !

I'll try on my back trip tonight. But this morning unfortunatly, trackme reset after 20 mn and olny 16 positions ...

When I arrive @ work à 07h41 I launch it again to mark the time. Between 07:00:17 and 07:00:22 there is a reset I think !

Grrrr !

Edit : I know Why. @ 7h00 titanium backup hangs the application to save it. I'm pretty sure that's the cause.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Could use serious clean up, most of what I've done is kludging or shoe-horning of some functionality in. Added more export stuff, fixed global variables etc.. Not really a PHP guy, but I can extend it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tigggger:
Double thanks :) :)

I think that's pretty close to the same functionality that the WM version had, the only thing I can think of leads me to my next suggestion.

The WM version had an option where you could store on angle changes.

Would be awesome to set user profiles so the program alters how it works according to what you are doing, not sure if it's even possible but if it was I'd set mine up something like this.

Default: Store every 5 minutes.

If Speed = 0 and Distance Moved < 50m, Store every 30 mins (not moved no point updating as often)

If Speed > 10, Store every 1 minutes (moving update more)

If Angle Change, Store (super accurate track)

could be off peak settings etc etc
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Do you know if titanium backup has some kind of log to be sure it did that?

I assume you are running TrackMe with the setting "Run with high priority" checked, right?
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That would be awesome! If you have the chance to do it one day I would really appreciate it. I would love to see all that.
[Android Apps and Games] 20100v:
Yes, I have the "Run with high priority enable".

About Titanium backup, I know that it runs every morning @ 7h00 when I ride.

I've delayed it to 10h00. I'll be sure to night.

I haven't seen if titanium backup log something.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That would be nice...but it's really a lot of work... Not sure if I will end up adding it. However storing on angle changes will be there in a future release.

There are still some features that are missing from the WM version such us force an update, upload images, comments, geofence, share your position by sms or email or trip summary.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Then that must be the reason. Let me know tomorrow how it goes. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Tigggger:
I thought it would be hard work, and since I posted that I realised that once the update on angle change is added I can do the other stuff on the server end in php.

IE I can update every 30 seconds on no distance and then just discard points that don't match my criteria (possibly as an addon script)
[Android Apps and Games] 20100v:
Tonight no problem, but only 56 positions for 1hour and 26km.

It's correct but points are a little far.

Tomorrow i ll try to use my tracks in the same time of trackme.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you set the minimum distance to 'No minimum'?
[Android Apps and Games] 20100v:
yes, distance setted no minimum.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
:confused:

I tested it yesterday and if I set my minimum time to 10 seconds, I get new positions every 10-15 seconds no matter if I move or not. Post your log if you enabled it for that trip.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah...the log looks ok. I was hoping that some positions were skipped because of the accuracy but doesn't seem to be the case.

I tested it with my Samsung Galaxy S but I can try with another less powerful phone that I have (Huawei U8150) to see if it looks different. I will let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
20100v,

I just tried on my other phone and seems to work ok too. I get the updates every 10s. I'm sorry but I don't know why is different on your phone. Let's see if somebody else has the same problem so it will give us more info to troubleshoot.
[Android Apps and Games] PuppeJuputti:
FYI.

Something very strange happened. I rooted my android and installed custom rom (cyanogenmod 7.1 with new radio firmware). After that all other softwares using gps has worked but trackme cannot get fix at all (Waiting for a valid position .....). I've tried with many settings (minimum accuracy, time etc) but nothing seems to help.

But when I start other gps software when trackme track is started (eg. GPS Status https://market.android.com/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2) trackme will get a fix and works just fine. When I quit gps status -program TrackMe cannot "read" current location.

All other softwares using gps works just fine and get a fast fix. Very strange. Have anybody else some kind of problems with custom ROMs?
[Android Apps and Games] martinr63:
Auto Start

Hi,

today I got a firmwareupdate and rebootet my phone.

After rebooting TrackMe was startet, but it shouldn't.

Settings:

Auto tracking ON

Auto start of
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's probably because that program leaves the GPS on all the time using a timer to store the position every 10s. TrackMe also uses the GPS when needed to save battery.
[Android Apps and Games] 20100v:
Interresting.

My phone is rooted with CyanogenMod 7 nightly 243. Radio is 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. Don't know if it changes something, but Trackme is able to get the fix from gps alone.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Never heard about that. Did you try to get a fix using only the Cell id network? I'm curious if it works in that case.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
When you say it was started do you mean the main window shows up?

Did you reboot it again? Does it keep happening?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Was it actually tracking or just "running" according to a task manager? If so, that means nothing. When you first boot a lot of apps are notified of it, doesn't mean they're actually doing anything.
[Android Apps and Games] Tigggger:
Just gone to use my copilot satnav and it won't work with trackme running in high priority. If I uncheck that option then it works again.
[Android Apps and Games] martinr63:
Hi,

I've tried it a few times. Everytime apears tracking is startet in the statusbar.

14:34:16 I stopped tracking and rebooted my phone

2011-11-30 14:34:16|[14:34:16] Tracking stopped.
2011-11-30 14:35:35|[14:35:35] Provider gps enabled.

2011-11-30 14:37:02|[14:37:02] Tracking stopped.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Strange... I don't get access to the GPS in exclusive mode or something like that. I will probably install it later to take a look.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Maybe something got corrupted in the configuration. Try enabling all the Startup options and going back to the main screen. Then go back and disable all of them and go back to the main screen again. Once you do that reboot your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] martinr63:
Auto tracking disabled, rebooted, no tracking

Auto tracking enabled, rebooted, tracking starts
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
So it works now?
[Android Apps and Games] martinr63:
No, it seems you use the setting "Auto tracking" and not "Auto start"

when booting the phone. I've testet it on a second phone, same behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You're right. I got the same problem. I will take a look and let you know.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I fixed the problem. I cannot release a new version now because I was in the middle of a new feature. Probably by the end of the week.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] thafath:
Hi, for some reason I can't upload offline position, I get the message password incorrect, I'm using my server, and I double checked the password is correct in the database on my server. What I'm doing wrong ? Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Has always been like that?

The password is not stored in clear text in the database so you shouldn't be able to read it.

Have you tried creating a new user?
[Android Apps and Games] PuppeJuputti:
It worked just fine with using cell id network without gps. Just gps can't get fix.

I'll try to install another ROM & Radio and test with it.
[Android Apps and Games] thafath:
Thank you for your response.

I analysed the get url on my server and took a look at requests.php I found that I'm using old database schema, passeword field limited yo 15 chars. I checked install.php as I reinstalled the scripts on my server, I found that the mysql only creates tables if they dont exists, as on the db tables are already there, the sql was ignored. So I deleted the old tables and dumped the sql and everything is working great. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Glad you got it to work! Thanks for letting me know.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Just a small update...

I'm working on a Share location feature.

This will let you to share your location by email, sms, facebook or twitter. I also want to add an emergency button which will send your location to the recipients that you have specified.

Once I am done with the sms part, I will release an update.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update!

1.5.0

New: Share your location using sms or email. A link to google maps will be generated and the name of the street and city if available.

Fixed: Start on bootup was not disabled in some cases.
[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
Thanks, the app works really well for me.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Hi there ...

Can you add at sharing location if there is no gps signal or you cant get it in x sec. it use WiFi / CELL ID ?
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Dtrieb,

Right now if you have that option checked under Source it will use WiFi / CellID as well. Isn't that what you need? It also uses the accuracy to discard values.
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
No i mean if i checked gps but there is no gps signal like tunnel or in a house than trackme had to use after x sec. the WLAN cell id to share the location.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Not sure if I understand. If you go to Settings and check GPS and WiFi/Cell Network it then TrackMe will use that if GPS is not available when sharing a location.
[Android Apps and Games] joetrim:
Hi LEM

I'm enjoying the Android ver so far. Was using the WM6.5 version for a long time but have since move to Android.

Anyway, I basically use it for the live tracking function with Google Earth.

However, sometimes when the phone signal drops out, it misses uploading a position.

Is there a way to automatically upload the 'offline' position once a signal has been restored without having to force it manually? If not, is it on the to-do list?

Thanks again for this great app. :)

Joe
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for your comments!

You are right, we had that feature in the old version.

I will add it to the to-do list.
[Android Apps and Games] :
just out of curiosity, do you still have contact with the people that want to deliver an iphone version as well, without your help? because the webpage still says available in november... well... :( ...
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah...I talked to the them last week. They told me they were very disappointed with the situation, because the company that they hired to work on this keeps postponing the initial release. Hopefully it will happen soon.
[Android Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Yeah, I'm pouting over this one too. :(

I have faith though. :D
[Android Apps and Games] turtle2472:

[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys...new updates soon! Working on TrackMe again with new features ;)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Update

1.6.0

New: Share functionality now allows you to use any compatible app installed.

New: TrackMe is now compatible with devices that don't support sending sms messages.
[Android Apps and Games] FlyingEd:
Hi,

as I installed TrackMe a few weeks ago, I had the same problem like PuppeJuputti.

I have a Xperia X10 mini with MiniCM7-2.1.6 (Android 2.3.7) and Kernel 2.6.29.6-nAa-07 both from nobodyAtall in this forum.

I needed another app to get and uphold the fix.

Sunday I have installed the new version and now I get a fix without another GPS-App.

Thx _LEM_
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Glad that it works but I haven't really modified anything in the new version that could affect this. The only thing that I did was to remove the restriction for the devices to be able to send sms messages.

I will keep an eye on this in case I find something else.

Thanks for letting me know.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Reminders coming soon! TrackMe will alert you when you are close from a predefined position.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Edited: Not needed anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
UPDATE

1.7.1

New: Reminders. This will allow you to be notified when you are close to certain places. You can define locations on a map and TrackMe will notify you with a reminder when you are next to that area.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Another update!

1.8.0

New features for Stealth mode! Send your position by sms when a text message is received from a different phone that doesn't need to have TrackMe running.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Last weekend I started adding some help information inside the program to make it easier for new users.

I would also like to have an online tutorial explaining how to use TrackMe.

Is anybody interested in writing an html tutorial in a format readable by mobile devices?

I hope somebody would be willing to help. I haven't seen too much community development for a long time (like it used to be for the WM version)

I would really like to see TrackMe growing but if I don't see too much interest I will probably start working on other projects soon :( It's not fun to be alone on this!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
How to track a phone using TrackMe

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Install TrackMe

2. Run TrackMe and click OK on the Disclaimer and Information page. This will take you to the TrackMe's main screen.

3. Press the Menu button on your phone.

4. Click on Minimum Accuracy in the Storage section. By default is set to 300m (984 ft). You can change that to a higher value if you want to reduce the chances for the position to be discarded because of poor accuracy.

This is specially useful if the phone is indoors.

5. Check the WiFi and Cell Network checkbox in the Source section. This will let you to get the location of the phone even if it is indoors.

6. Click on SMS tracking settings in the SMS Tracking section.

7. Check the SMS tracking enabled checkbox on top.

8. Click on the Send Position option. This will show you the text message that this phone needs to receive in order to send the location to the phone that sent the message.

By default is !!send but you can change it to anything else. Note the two exclamation marks at front. Click ok to confirm your changes.

9. Click the back button on your phone twice to go back to TrackMe's main screen.

That's it!

- From now on you don't need to have TrackMe running on this phone to make this work. You just need to have it installed.

- You don't even need to have internet on this phone!

- From now on you can restart your phone and do other things and TrackMe will still be listening for text messages containing the text that you specified previously.

Now you can just send a text message from any other phone containing the word that you specified in step 8, and TrackMe will reply with another text message showing the location of the phone and a link to a map.

Note: When TrackMe sends the location of the phone using a link, it will try to generate a short link to make it more readable to the user.

I have been informed that some providers don't allow these services (like tinyurl.com) and it will discard those messages.

If you never receive a message from the tracked phone it could be due to this reason.

You can disable URL shortening by going to Sharing Settings in the Sharing section. Once you are there you can uncheck the option Shorten URLs
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys...I'm taking new requests. If you have something in mind that you would like to see in TrackMe please let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] :
it's great to see that your project is still alive. i wish i had an android phone, only for trackme... but it's a pity that there is still no iphone version. i've tried to contact the guys who bought it via their contact form on the webpage which states, that an iphone version will be availible in Nov 2011... but i've never got an answer...

keep up your good work!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah...to be honest I'm kind of disappointed about that too. Every time I talk to them they tell me they are about to release the iPhone version and that the new web viewer is almost completely done but that never seems to happen. I don't know what to think anymore.

Thanks for staying around.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks... and btw to answer your new feature request: I don't know if this is already implemented, because i haven't used trackme on android yet, but it would be nice, if the location update frequency would/ could change with the pace you are traveling... let's say, if you are on the speed way with 70mph the update frequency is every 2 minutes ... and if you reach your destination in a city and you are traveling only by 30mph the update frequency changes to every 30seconds... ---- i can see that this would be a problem in a traffic jam (EDIT: or maybe not, because of the option you have already built in to only update, if a certain distance between two locations has been reached)... ... but it would show a more accurate route while traveling ... a 30second update on the speed way is too much... in a city it's just enough...
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
On the Android version there is a minimum distance and a minimum time parameter. By combining both parameters you may get something close to what you mention.

PS: Get an android and sell your iPhone! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
nice! ... ok, yeah... i think i will... ;-)
