HTC Diamond: Display does not turn off

Hello,

I have the strange problem, that when trachme runs, the display doesn't turn off anymore.

I have a HTC Touch Diamond. Wenn trackme runs in the background, the display darkens after 30 seconds, but instead of switching off after 10 more seconds, it stays indefinitely with the darkened display. When I quit the program, then the display works again like expected and turns off. I tried to quit other programs like S2U2 and run the program as "exclusive" program in the taskmanager, but to no avail. When trackme runs, the display stays on.

I searched this thread, but it seems that I'm the only Diamond user with that problem. Any ideas?

hmmm.. I think you are talking about suspend mode. TrackMe disables that mode while is tracking because otherwise the GPS will stop working. Turning off the screen is different than going to suspend mode. If you want to turn off the screen while you are using TrackMe, you can click on 'Screen off'

I think that's the way is supposed to work. Maybe other users can give you some additional information.

net compact framework ??

installed track me when I try and run it it says I need a new version of net compact framework ..what is it..?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You need Compact Framework 3.5

You can download it from the first post of this thread.

What else would you like to see in TrackMe?

At this moment, I'm working on a new version where you will be able to

export data to GPX format.

There are other requests pending from other users and some of them will be added, but I would to use this post to ask you what else you would like to see in future versions. Also I am very interested in knowing what things you don't like in TrackMe or if there is something that you would prefer to have it changed because it's too difficult to use or not very useful.

I would also like to change the web interface. I don't know if mcross is still working on that, but I would like to add more functionality and also change the design.

So please take a moment to post your comments or ideas for future versions. Don't worry if I don't make any comments about your proposals. I usually take all the requests that people make and I add them to my to-do list. Every time that I plan to add something new, I check the list and I pick one depending on how difficult it is, how fun is to add o how practical.

Thanks for your cooperation!

How about being able to have multiple users. I currently leave TrackMe set for my personal use. So on the server page I have my personal account info (my server) programed in.

I have been making more runs in my car for business lately and it would be nice to be able to choose a different user with ease for when I'm using business. Then I would in effect have one heck of a milage log. :)

Fast user switching in a sense based on category. Job, Personal, Business (I own one too), etc. Then if I were to choose my business user it would also switch for my business web server rather than stay on my personal server. I would only have to program the user and server information once and then be able to "one-click" select the user/profile that best fits my trip's needs.

That would be a cool feature.

BTW, I'm still on the last version before Cell ID was added because I don't know how to do those SQL DB changes to told me. I keep meaning to ask if you knew phpMyAdmin since it's the SQL admin app my web host uses. Or any other way I can make these changes.

Concerning Cell-ID

Hello,

First, I want to say that it is a very nice application you develop. Then, I would like to take the opportunity to ask one thing concerning the Cell-ID feature.

How do I use Google's Cell-ID database, and how do I use TrackMe's Cell-ID database?

I created a custom which I named the "MyName" under settings / Source but it finds no position. Does it use the Google's or Trackme `s databases automatically? With Google Mobile Apps, I get a position both with and without GPS.

When I try to get my position with Cell-ID I got this error:

NO Position found in database for Cell-ID

Unable to find position for Cell-ID using selected database. Position skipped.

Best Regards

Berg82

Best regards

Is it possible to add as in old version the local upload?

I explain, when you're travelling, you use Track me, and if after you want to see your trip between two steps for example, you haven't Internet, but just your notebook with google earth for example or other software ;)

Regards,

Cyril

Edit:

Since this version:

This is how it looks:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Here some of my ideas:

Today Screen with Cell ID, GPS (Long-, Latitude)

Homezone Feature (*1)

Street Name (*2)

One Click POI (*3)

Cell ID Do something "events" (*4)

(*1) Means that you can set your Homezone Cell's and a symbol is showing you on p.e. on the Today Screen.

(*2) If it's possible to read out of Google maps the street were you are an write it on the screen, or send by Email, SMS

(*3) If you drive around that you can set a POI with one click an mark it in the Map

(*4) Run programms, like: (on, off Bluethooth), (on, off Wifi), (on, off Sound), or a program (path) to run if you going in or out off the Cell

I'd love to see the ability to upload data on a periodic basis. Right now of course it either uploads every point or never. It'd be nice to be able to specify to upload all points every N minutes.

Also, something that I've been pondering would be useful is some sort of dynamic adjustment of the timing. I typically keep it on 30s, but that's too short timing for walking. Too long for driving. But maybe instead of some algorithm to help pick the timing (which would be very subjective), a drop-down would be more convenient to pick a time really fast rather than sliding out the keyboard and typing it in? Perhaps 5 or so options and an "Other" where you can type in whatever timing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmkintanar:
Wonderful software:) Would it be possible to separate the user interface? Is it possible to have the main software run as an invisible background app which is installed/uninstalled and configured from a separate process? Thanks for the great work that you do!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Skyjouby,

Before removing that functionality I asked here if people were ok with that.

Everybody that replied said yes, so I did so.

At this moment it's too difficult to put that back and also would make TrackMe's development much slower, because every time a new feature is added, I would have to do the same for local mode, which is a mode (afaik) that almost nobody is using.

You can almost do the same thing with TrackMe without using that feature, but I understand that in some specific cases you cannot.

Sorry about that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think that's a bug when you install TrackMe for the first time.

Default databases are not added. I will fix that.

Meanwhile you can add them manually.

Just go to Configuration->Source->Cell ID and keep pressed under 'Available'

A popup menu will show up. Click on 'Add'

Now you can type this 'google' (without the quotes)

You can also add 'trackme'

After that, select one by one and click on the '<' button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
This has been asked several times. And yes, I think it's time to add that.

I will try to have it soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The only way that I know is by using phpMyAdmin.

Basically you need to select your database, and click on the SQL tab.

Once you are there, paste the SQL commands and execute them.

Let me know if you have problems and I will try to give you more details.

no gps receiver found??

my track me and goggle maps stopped working...goggle maps gives me a message saying no gps receiver was found..maps was working before..i tried looking under settings>>gps settings>> hardware..gps port is set to none..baud rate 4800..if i switch the hardware port it switchs back once i close the close the window when i go back its set to none again..what happened???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
My main request for TrackMe is for it to run with as few resources as possible so that it can continue to run alongside other programs without being closed by WM due to lack of RAM, etc. Used TrackMe on a recent trip and constantly had to restart it when I discovered it had closed while I was using other apps along the way.

Secondary would be the ability to run with the screen off, similar to how music players and other programs operate.

Looking forward to your updates, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's strange. I leave it running for days without a problem.

TrackMe doesn't do too much while it's tracking. Basically it just opens a COM port and read data when it's needed. Did you check the Task Manager to see how much memory was TrackMe using?

I'm not sure if that's possible. So far I haven't seen a single GPS program that does that. When the PDA goes to suspend mode, the GPS stops working.

If you see a GPS program that does what you say, let me know, and I will take a look.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I installed the commands and they seemed to work, but the problem is I can't access my old trips now. Is there something I'm missing or didn't do that I should have after running those two commands? I've just looked through the SQL DB and all my old data is there in the text layout of it.

Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. I forgot to run the install from my server and update those files. I'm good now. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] berg82:
I have got it to work with various CellID databases now, but have some questions.

CellID database:

Trackme: I understand that this database is not updated with information on my area and therefore did not find any position in my field.

Google's database: I alway get the result that there is no position on my Cell-ID. I have not been able to obtain a single position with Google's database. With Google maps I always get a position within an area of about 1800 meters. Why can´t I get it with Trackme if I use the same database? Or are there different databases from Google?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Skyjouby:
Don't worry, I have done a back up of the last version with Local Mode, in order to use it if I need it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It may have some data. It's possible that somebody around your area has already uploaded some data when using TrackMe in GPS mode.

Do you think you can show me a cell id example?

Basically I need the number that you see in TrackMe when searching data in Google. It should look something like 'Searching google from 310-410-7300-6342...'
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Good! I'm glad you got it to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Ok, I have my phone set to upload CellID for each GPS and to Log GPS positions. Which server does the CellID upload go to? Yours, Google or both? Also, where does the logged position go?

Is is possible to add scroll bars to the settings area for when I'm in landscape mode? I've had to leave landscape to put the cursor where I wanted it and then back to landscape to type.

All and all I love the changes. This is a great app and I really appreciate your work on it. Keep it up! :)

You need to be a little more descriptive in what the error is you are getting when trying to run the program. What is the exact error for which file that's missing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available!

- Some Parameters from the PHP requests have been renamed and

they are now shorter.

- Added 2 new Cell ID providers: CellDB and OpenCellID (thanks xdaradar)

In order to use them you need to add them manually. They are called:

'celldb' and 'opencellid' (without quotes)

- New offline mode. Now you can decide when to upload your positions. With this new mode you will be able to store some positions locally and be uploaded later.

- Fixed problem with new installations a CellID databases. No databases were shown when the program was installed for the first time.

People using their servers

Updated files: export.php, requests.php, upload.php

New files: cellid_celldb.php, cellid_opencellid.php, xml.php

Enjoy!

The database works after upgrade!!

Staryon,

I wanted to thank you again for making trackme preserve the database during upgrades! I went on a full day trip today, out of cell range, and when i got back, my offline positions would not upload. I checked this thread and found that some changes had been made on the server, and hoped that this was the issue. After upgrading, ALL my offline positions uploaded successfully!

Thanks for all your hard work! I haven't even looked at the new features yet... i'm just so happy about this.

And nice would be to translate it in german, france, and so on.

I would make the german lang.

I do not find where I have to add manually those 2 new Cell ID providers ?

Thanks a lot for this new version where we can manage the upload in various mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phunzoid:
i also have a Mogul running WM 6.1, and running with the screen off is not a problem, by using either the "Screen Off" button in Trackme, or by using one of the Mogul's buttons i have mapped for turning the screen off

but yeah, using the Power button stops the GPS and most other apps from running :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Just wanting to comment here. I'm running CellID which keeps WM in unattened anyway, and I use a bluetooth GPS, but it doesn't matter if I use my hardware power button on my Tilt. I don't know if it's because of CellID, using a Bluetooth GPS, or who knows what other reason.

I haven't done any measurements to see if there's any difference in power usage between the two. From what I understand, unattended basically just turns off the screen anyway (plus some other details, the CellID thread has a long description of it).

BTW in case anyone is curious, I run CellID 24/7 which uploads the cell ID info to my webserver, and I actively run TrackMe when I want to track my location or what not. I don't notice much battery usage difference, and it gives a rough estimation of where I am without switching modes in TrackMe.

Hmmm, I should look into the feature in TrackMe though.. Like if TrackMe can use CellID when it has no GPS available, that'd be cool. One less thing running. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That feature has been there for a long time.

When you upload a picture you will be asked if you want to upload it 'now' or 'later'. You just need to select 'later'

Help!?

After performing a HR recently, I tried to reinstall TrackMe but found that I could not. Upon running the CAB file, I get the following message almost immediately "Installation of TrackMe.CAB was unsuccessful."

Note that I've used this app quite a bit and had no problems installing it and upgrading it several times over the past couple months.

To make sure I wasn't imaginging things, I just tried once more, downloading the latest CAB file OTA directly to my device from the link in the first post and got the same result. The app isn't showing in Remove Programs, there are no related registry keys that I could find hanging around that may be causing problems and the only TrackMe-related files on my device are the CABs I'm trying to install.

Anyone have any suggestions other than another HR and installing TrackMe first? :confused:

Anyone aware of any conflicts with other apps that may be causing a problem? I used SASHIMI to handle my restoration after the HR, so perhaps the order in which I installed things is causing the problem??? Not sure how/why that would matter, but...

Anxious to try out the latest update but can't get past this issue... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:

Great App - one suggestion

This is a fantastic app...I love the simplicity and the functionality.

I'm trying to find something that is as close to Nokia's sports tracker as possible for WM6.1 and this is near as perfect.

One suggestion for added functionality...

is it possible to add markers to show:

fastest point

slowest point

highest point

lowest point

These are then visible on the .kml file in google earth/maps.

Keep up the good work!

cheers, cojo

The actual program is scattered through that thread a bit, along with updates, so might want to read it somewhat newest-to-oldest. The program doesn't "come with" a server to use, but there are a few linked I think.

What I am using should be there as well, simple to use on any Apache setup with PHP and Perl. I would rather all be Perl but to be honest the PHP script to convert the CellID data to GPS Coords via Google's API is complete nonsense to me so I just use it as-is ;-)

I'm working up a way to ask Staryon if it's possible to modify the TrackMe behavior to closer model what CellID does, but I'm going to mess with TrackMe's Cell stuff a bit more, not quite sure I understand it just yet.

I'm running php 5.2.5 on my server but it's controlled by a web host so I don't have direct control over the server personally.
