[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I added a list of known problems at the bottom of its page. If any other bugs pop up just post them here.

oldsap - Thanks for putting it on your site. I would not describe it as freeware. Freeware would not have an expiration date. That is in the about dialog, but I added it to the GSMbeam page to make sure people know whats going on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bratag:
Cool software. Now all I need is more people who I can transfer with.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Thats why the core functionality will always be free (ie receiving any size file/message + sending messages and small size file). When it gets a final release you would be able to purchase a copy to send your big stuff ang give all your friends a copy so you have someone to send to. Can I take it that it worked on your device?.

I have fixed the bug where the phone is not restarted for 3 minutes. The phone now gets restarted about 10 seconds after a call ends. Incoming files get qued for acceptence. The user sees a dialog asking to accept/reject. If more than 1 is in the que a series of dialogs pops up, each in turn after the result of the first (not all at once). also I fixed a bug where the minimize was malfunctioning after one of the modal dialogs was displayed. Hopefully now when GSMbeam is minimised it dose so without disrupting the ok button in other programs. version 0.194 is now at the link.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
Oh sorry, ill try to change it to shareware :)

could you explain a little more on how many sms equivalent is uses per kb of file sent?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I don't know exactly what you mean. It dose not use any sms to send anything. It uses the same kind of call you would talk over, except instead of talking the modems talk. The numbers of characters in an sms could be sent in much less than 1 second. The only problem is that the modems need around 10-15 seconds to connect with each other. On my phone account I pay 20 flag fall and 1 cent per second. So for a page of text in a message it would cost me around 21 cents. For a much longer message, say 5 pages (on the ppc screen) it would cost me 22-25 cents.

If you are sending files that are bigger than the packet size (most would be) then there is some overhead. There are two "layers" working in GSMbeam each with its own small amount of headder information in a packet for that layer. This is really insignificant though. For sending images the cost is higher. Images are normally relitively large in relation to text. You would have to test it with your own account to see what it costs. with many phone accounts there are free times or free minute from phones in the same network. If you have such free periods then GSMbeam costs nothing to use. When I call my wife it costs me nothing if I have "vodafone to vodafone minutes" left that month.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
oh now i get it. ( sorry for being so stupid :P )

so it uses call time. great! i have free unlimited calls to the same network as mine so that means it would be free to send files to the same netowrk?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Correct. Thats beautiful hey! In Australia they make us pay through the nose for anything to do with data, but now there is a way around it. Imagine, here it cost 75c for a 22kb mms. The picture quality is not that good and there is complication in getting the correct sim and configuring it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
this is a very useful app. thanks again. btw, any chance of porting it to smartphones and also nokia phones?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I can't do smartphone because I do not have one. This kind of thing dose not work properly on the mulator. As for nokia, I have no idea how to program one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
Thanks a bunch :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nadavi:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Thank you for the confirmation assasins. The hope of definite works/fails feedback on the functionality is the main reason I post here. If anyone finds it dose not work, thats what the diagnostic logging mode is for in the settings. After veiwing the log it may be possible for me to find any bugs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I just found a new bug. In 2003 and 2005 devices, if you change the settings it crashes. It looks like it still works but really its kapoot and needs to be turned off then on again. I was testing on an old xda a lot and it did not happen there so I failed to notice it. I will update with a fix soon. I also thought I fixed the problem hiding the main window, but again its popped back up, but it only seems to happen on my mini.

<edit>

I have fixed this. Version 0.195 is on my site now. The problem was I was calling free on a pointer pointing to memory not allocate by malloc or realloc. I wouldn't have expected it to go so badly.

The OK button thing has really beaten me. I have changed the main dialog minimize to the X and it seems to work. The funny thing is, it is still producing an IDOK and I am still responding to it in the same way. Only now when the dialog get hidden so dose the menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
version 0.196 is now at the link.

This fixes the on/off functionality of the call filtering so now you can set up the black list and turn it off at will. I also streamlined code in various threads to allow a more swift response to incoming calls. This lets the phone be turned off faster on slower devices so there is less chance of the phone giving a ring.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Get GSMbeam for FREE

I think GSMbeam is finished now. I have fixed many bugs including a malfunction in the stop button. I have added functionality like a que for incomming text messages so more than one can be stored. The incoming messages can now be sent to the clipboard or log file after reading. I added the option to have a sound notification. I added a preview window for image files in the file open dialog. I also put in the password registration. Its based on the hardware ID of the device.

I would like more people to use this before I feel happy calling it finished. If anyone would like to download this and post their hardware ID in this thread (the one generated by GSMbeam) I will pm the first 20-30 a registration code - that is if there is anyone interested.

da_mayhem, sajib & greatbal your registration codes are in the mail. I hope everything works properly but if not I want to know! I think the codes you posted look ok because the last digits in common seem to be common in all htc models I tested on. My atom was the only one found different so far.

oldsap - I could if I owned one. I will try to do it if some one would like to send me a smartphone to own:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gopi51:
I would like to try this especially for the call filtering facility. I use a HTC Universal with code...3551950089725301080BF3F51730. Please if you could send me the reg code to gopinath.rajan@gmail.com

Will report back any bugs.

Thanx.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
gopi51, I sent it to you in a PM.

I think you may be dissapointed if you want to filter normal incomming calls. GSMbeam is currently designed to only filter calls that are transmitting data. There are other good programs on this board designed for a more devoted filtering of all calls. I included it as more of a security feature. I was considering using a "white list" instead of a "black list" but decided against it. If everyone who used GSMbeam only accepted from a few people then it would limit the potential of the program becoming used much.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] da_mayhem:
tested it with a 38byte text file with greatbal and it's working! thanks for this!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sajib:
thanks for the reg code.....really apprecite ur help...by the way just a question as im going to try this with my friend and as his software will not be registed..so will it be possible to send a large file (say 300kb) to him easily?as he is not registered will it be problem...and can you tell me how many minutes will it be required to send such a file of 300kb in a full network in gsm 900 mode...i want to know it before trying as im not always in free talk time period so need to know before wasting a big amount of money.....

best wishes from me...

ok not sure what i am doing wrong, when i try to send a file i get a 'idle' message coming up...I have this installed on my XDA-EXEC and my wife has a HP 6315...what am i doing woring?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
youmeus, your reg is in a pm.

I have not tested on either of those devices. Here is a list of probable causes for the idle message:

1)Your phone is turned off.

2)The other phone is turned off.

3)The other phone is on but GSMbeam is not running on it.

4)The other phone is on and GSMbeam is on with your number in the black list. (I have found a bug in the settings that means even if you set the filtering to off it still filters. Will fix soon).\

5)Low signal.

6)The carrier is not allowing your call to proceed because they don't like data on calls. This is very uncommon but I have found one instance of this happening. If you susspect this you could try a friends sim from a different carrier to test it.

If that dose not help put the logging mode to diagnostic then try to send and pm me the log file gennerated.

sajib, there is only a restriction on sending size. If you are registered and your friend is not, you will still be able to send large file to him. I don't recommend huge files because of the time involved (unless you are in free time). I tested sending a 330kb file and it took 7minutes and 20 seconds. That was in bad weather (raining), I noticed speradic movement in the progress bar meaning that some packets were missed. The movement of the progress bar is set by successful reception of a packet. This could probably be under 7 minutes in good conditions. For me that would correspond to about $4.20Aud. If I had transferred that amount of data on gprs it would have cost me around $8.20. I don't know what 3g works out to because I have no device for it.

Doing this brought up a problem that I had not encounted before. With such a large size and time taken the first time I sent the file the device powered down while receiving. After that when I turned it back on it all looked OK still going etc but It had malfunctioned and could not proceed. Until I make a way to keep the device on while a transfer is in progress I recomend setting your auto power off time to a long one depending on the files you think may be sent/received.

edit.

It has been brought to my attension that the shortcut in the startup folder may be causing a problem on reset due to lack of certificate. If that happens then later go to the windows\startup folder and tap the GSMbeam shortcut manually. Once you accept the "yes" button it should work after that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] youmeus:
ok need yur help!

well to make a long story short; I have been getting problems connecting to my phone network (this was after a rom upgrade) what happens is the phone cannot find the network on it's own. The work around I use is I have to turn on gprs and that kinda kicks the phone to fing signal, but when I do a soft reset it will drop d phone again. What I find interesting was after a soft reset I tried sending a file from GSMbeam. It did exectly what the gprs trick did it forced the phone to connect or find signal but failed to send attached file. What is it that the gprs or your app is doing that is aiding the phone connection? Is there some damaged file in my rom that is causing all this problem? the funny thing is I have reflashed with several different roms since, even changed the radio versions, but it still does not work without me first connect gprs! If u can give some insite into this prob I will be greatful. Anyway, once the phone signal is forced on by gprs my phone works 100%; I was not sure if this my have been the cause of my 'IDLE' message so thought I would spell it out for you! Sorry for d long dribble, just wanted to be as clear and possible, hope u can help. I will send u my log file

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sajib:
I tried it with a 10 kb file and it took something around 30+ second...i thought it wil be more less so from my viewpoint it will not be that much of usefull if not im into free talktime time period....in my country gprs cost is very low as an example you made 330 kb wll cost me around 0.15 au$!!!! and 7 min talktime will cost me 0.75 au$!!! so stil gprs is my best bet....

Ps: a out of line topic though...does in au gprs cost is that much high????i am really wondering why...as i told you that next month im caming to there and if the cost is that high then it will be hard for me to controll my cost as a student....does there have any unlimited package???and what the cost of that unlimited package...??

thanks for everything....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Sending small size files with GSMbeam works out less efficient due to the 15 second handshake. To be honest it is at least a year since I have shopped around for data transfer. Someone else could perhaps give a more current view. Here gprs was going between 1.5 and 2.5 cents per kb. I saw some packages for 1 mb etc but they worked out to be about the same. I could not find any unlimited plan or get gprs on prepaid. Something called "nex G" just came out and they are claiming it can do just about anything but I doubt it will work with our devices. The impression I get when trying to get gprs here is that no one who sells it knows what it is for. We are a bit behind the times. The only large user of gprs that I have seen is in trucking. I know some truck drivers who work for a company called LinFox and I have examined their windows ce devices. they use a gps to get position data then send it back with gprs to their company computers. This lets them verify that they are at their destination so any delay cost can be put back on the receiving company who some times delay opening their doors.

It would be good to start a thread to compare the different forms of data transfer and their costs in Australia. I am sure a lot of people would find that very usefull.

I have updated GSMbeam to 0.286. The only difference is that now when a transfer is in progress I simulate periodically a keypress of they shift key to stop the power going off. For some reason ?? the backlight dose not stay on but the power dose.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Your code is in a pm.

Be sure to have the the latest version. The previous versions failed when device powered down during transfer.

Regarding data cost in Australia.

I talked to a sales person at Telstra about next g (actually she rang me at random). It is just their branding of 3g. If used in a pay-as-you-go way it costs 1.5 cents/kb, ie the same as gprs. They had a data package for $29.95 that was for 70mb. The person was trying to sell me a phone so I can't be sure if that is available if you provide your own device. That is attractive to me but I wouls need to buy a new ppc with 3g. It seemed like the "push" was for email and sms as features with talk and not on pure data so I am guessing that email is going to be the higher cost area now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chatty:
Hi OdeeanRDeathshead,

How do you differ a GSMbeam call from a normal call?

Did you think a about routing TCP/IP?

If so, what about PC-CAPI-Counterpart to have real inet?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
normal bit

CallParams->dwBearerMode = LINEBEARERMODE_VOICE;//over voice call

bit that makes it different

CallParams->dwMediaMode = LINEMEDIAMODE_DATAMODEM;//data transmition

I considered it but the cost of the time in calls would render it useless to me. It would also require considerable effort and I don't think many people would even use it. I built in a mechanism for letting my other apps to use GSMbeam with reading/writing a file timed by some named events but the version available to the public dose not include that code. I did not want it crashing on users for the sake of experimenting.

IMPORTANT- there is a bug with the call filtering that can have a privacy issue.

Versions of GSMbeam bellow 0.287 have a bug that can potentially cause a breach of privacy. If a receiving party has blocked your number and you can't connect to that person, your next transmission may send the failed data before it sends the new data. this means that a different person could get a message not meant for them. To resolve this issue replace old versions of GSMbeam with version of 0.287 or higher.

I also fixed the filtering to really turn off when selected.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chatty:
Hmm... but there a pay plans with a flat fee meaning you pay your monthly due and can talk as long as you want (even SMS are free).

But using the line with a "data modem"... hmm... I think this may be charged.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
In what country are you? Here I know of no flat plans on gsm networks. If you could point me to it I would buy it:). Also the LINEMEDIAMODE_DATAMODEM dose nothing to the pricing on every arangement I have tried. Its a normal call.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Fixed some malfunctions with the way memory is allocated to hold files to send. Cuts down on memory used during transfer so larger files can be opened. The allocation of memory for incoming files is done on a per packet basis, so there is no huge hit after starting the transfer. I would like to try and tell the receiver the size of an incoming beam so they can reject it if too big.

beta 0.291 is available. If you only sent a few hundred kb max then the difference is probably not going to show up.

Hi there,

From another Aussie - Jasjam user !!!

Can I have the Reg Code.

No I just got to find another Optus Pre-paid PPC Phone user ....:rolleyes:

Many thanks in advance

Your code is in a PM.

Please post your success/failure in getting it to work to this thread. The only network problems I ever had were with an old Optus pre-paid sim. I think that Optus dose work normally now because my wife has an Optus billed account and its fine. When I had the problem, I would call the Optus sim and the calling end would make the rining tone but the receiveng end would not even register a call had been offerring.

I'm from Germany. The flat provider is called BASE. I even found an english article about this offer.

I'd really like to try your program... will send you my device ID via PM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Your code PMed to you. You can try it without a code anyway.

I mean in Australia. There are "cap" plans here where for $50 you get $500 worth of calls, but for my calling needs they are not flexible. I don't like the fact that they do not roll over. I would be wasting money in months where I make few calls. Using non GSM phones there are flat plans here. My sister has unlimited calls on 3 (an Australian 3g network). I do not own a 3g device unfortunately. Do you know if calls over 3g networks are carried out the same way programatically with tapi?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I have made GSMbeam support pluggins now and it can have up to 10 different ones going at the same time. I am now working on a pluggin that will monitor background noise in a room and when it gets triggered takes pictures and records sound. This data is then beamed to the owners phone. I will release the update when the first pluggin is done.

I bought a dopod today and changed network to 3 (three) australia. It seems that 3 do not accept the calls I am making with the data mode. I will try to figure out how I can work around this, but if I can't get it to work I have a big problem. I knew this day could come, after all it is called GSMbeam not 3Gbeam!

edit...

I have tried some other sims in the dopod and it will not work with any of them. I think it may be the tsp but I can't be sure because I have no other phone to put my 3g sim into to compare it with. If anyone has a universal/exec I would be greatful if to know if it works with a 3g carrier.
