Your Work is GREAT!!!

Its be wonderfull if you put "TIME TO Collect Data" like mon-fri 08 to 18 (and frequency)...

Password prevent any change to config / to start / to stop.

Make "Enable time to collect forced" to really collect data

(i don t know if wm you can do on suspend mode, but you can put a option to turn the screen off before suspend time to collect on "supend mode")

Option On exit(on chash) Reload Persistence.

Option turn the cell on to upload data.

How to tackme CELL ID found on database? on my pernonal server.

A google say Unable to get the results. remote server return an error (404) not found

i will try celldb and opencellid...

HOPE SUCCESS...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rafaelreis:
I know what was your problem...

No problem if php code... the problem is the permission you put on your server if go to run scripts and exec on the folder where the users put their uploaded file... he can upload a trojan and change you website... happened with me on my server i had put cab, exe to download from my web to my pocket.

i went to url and download... next day i got a funck change on my website made from a brazilian hacker

the cab had a trojan to work on iis...the big numbers of files on internet you on a trojan waint a newbie on iis make a mistake...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot. I just added it to the official release.

Do you have the file cellid_google.php5 on your server?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rafaelreis:
yes... and a copy "cellid_google.php"

with trackme is ok, put data and get... but with google says... A google say Unable to get the results. remote server return an error (404) not found
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think the problem is in the function distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2, $unit)

I haven't tested it yet but I think there is where he makes the calculation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] effin_rad:
Thanks for your reply. I would definetely consider it in your next release as if trackme is set to load at startup the PDA screen remains on all the time.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rafaelreis:
Sorry mate!!! First of all I want to say THANKS...

and the problem was, my server on IIS and a extension php5 hasn´t set up Mime Type and this makes my server show 404 for his files...

I put a mime type on iis and ITS WORKS!!!

and callid_trackme.php need change a bit to store on my server....

THANKS. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Great! I'm glad you got it to work.

Have a happy new year too.

Hi there,

I'm getting the same error as Timmi-T: "Error: Unknown column 'signalstrength' in 'field list'"

Was a solution found for this?

I have a feeling it might be to do with old positions stored on my device which weren't uploaded before I installed a newer version on my own server. To rule this out, how can I remove stored positions manually?

Many thanks, wicked app!

Ola Staryon (and TrackMe users),

First of all -> thanks for this great application! I have used it almost daily for the last 2 months and it works like a charm! I believe I've read all the forumpage's and followed all instructions after updates. So no (reall) hastles over here!-)

Nevertheless there's 1 thing I can't solve myself and there's a 'little' development wish/idear.

The 'problem' that I encounter is the fact that if I choose for "Use cell ID if position is NOT available", TrackMe doesn't seem to take much effort in finding sattelites. If this option is turned on TrackMe always uses a CellID (even with external antenna). If I turn the option off at the same location and the same conditions it finds sattelites and uses that position. Is there a way to tell TrackMe how long the search for sattelites has to be before switching to CellID? (I think a time out of max. 10 seconds should be enough)

The 'idear' I had is the following:

Presumming that TrackMe is mostly used by people in the outdoors!-)

Personnaly I really would like the possibility if TrackMe could warn me for changing weatherconditions. In my opinion there's 2 ways to implement this. In the application itself, or on the server TrackMe is uploading to.

Both, TrackMe and the server, know where the phone is. If one of them also knows what the weather condition is and is gonna be, it could give an alarm of some sort.

I've tried to implement the serveroption myself. Without any good automated results till now:( What i did is to put an kml (or kmz) file from the local weather forecasters, as a layer in googlemaps (on the server). This works fine. (Except from the fact that if you watch an other track than the livetrack, you'll see todays weatherconditions scrolling over your old track!-). Afterwards I tried to compare the location of my phone with the forcasted rain in the kmz file (without the use of goolemaps). At this last part i fail (till this moment). If I succeed (wich I slightly doubt!-) or make any progress I'll share it with the TrackMe-community of course! (A little help would be appriciated though. Better idears? Different sollutions?)

As I said,... I think there's 2 ways to implement this weather-warning-feature. The serverside or the 'TrackMe'-side. Do you (Staryon), as writer of this little niffty application, see any possibilities to implement such a feature in TrackMe? Or is the serverside-sollution the best way to go? If the last option is preferred I'll try to figure it out (hopefully with a little help from some users over here!-)

Again thanx for this great programme you wrote! And (almost forgot) best wishes to all off course!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Could someone (the developer maybe?) discuss on why TrackMe is better than Trackr!? (I am trying to convince a friend)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
Sure! But,.. I'm just 'speaking' as a regular user (not even close to developer!-)

- TrackMe tries to consume as little energy as possibel (depending on your settings and needs). TrackR doesn't. TrackR just consumes whatever it thinks is needed (continues all the time)

- TrackR doesn't use CellID as positioning. TrackMe does! (5 DB's if i'm not mistaken. And you can add your positions tot this DB in combination with gps if available)

- TrackR want's you to use their server. TrackMe lets you completely handel your own server. Or,... if you want to,... the server of the developer himself.

- If you ask questions about TrackMe (in this forum) you get an answer from the developer himself.

- You might ventilate your wishes according to the TrackMe software. If you do so you get a fast, honest answer. In the best case it gets implemented too!-)

Just my 2 cents as a former user of TrackR,... but now completely devoted to TrackMe!-)

1 'slightly uncomfortable' fact about TrackMe might be that during a good intended update there are a few unexpected flaws. Me, for myself, only noticed this once! No problem though,... if you keep track off the other users in this forum. The sollution is always close at hand!-)

For what it's worth,.. I also encountered the same problem @ TrackR,... in this case I had to wait a few days before the problems were solved.

Why don't you let your friend just try it? It's free!-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:

Hi

Phone got stolen 2 weeks ago. Someone turned it on yesterday and today and trackme is still running. Any ideas? He is using a new sim, and unfortunately I did not set up emailing \ smsing on trackme after sim swop.

Cops here in South Africa are a bit slow. How can I help the cops get this guy?

Regards

Louis
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
Try to get the IP from where the TrackMe positions are send and get in touch with the provider maybe? (Via robtex.com for example, you can get more info about the sending IP)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lrossouw:
figured that may be a way. drove by the location and it is one of two small apartment blocks. don't think the cops are going to search through those for one phone. i suspect that we may need to try and get the new number and get the cops to invite him for a prize he just won.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Raggeh:
Hello again!

I learnt some MySQL and checked for the database changes you mentioned...

ALTER TABLE `positions` ADD `SignalStrength` INT NULL ,
ADD `SignalStrengthMax` INT NULL ,
ADD `BatteryStatus` TINYINT NULL,
ADD `SignalStrengthMin` INT NULL ;

...and they were indeed missing, so I added them fine.

Now I get this error when uploading positions:

"Error: Column 'Speed' cannot be null"

I checked my database and the Speed column in the Positions table is not null (I removed the rest of the columns for readability)...

mysql> describe positions ;
+-------------------+--------------+------+-----+-----------------+------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------------------+--------------+------+-----+-----------------+------------+
| Speed | double | NO | | 0 | |
| | | | | | |
+-------------------+--------------+------+-----+-----------------+------------+
17 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Do you know what might be causing this issue, I feel this is almost sorted! :)

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi wauwtie,

Regarding your first problem, did you try the other option "Use Cell ID is a position is available but minimum required satellites not reached"?

I understand this is not exactly what you need but it could give you better results.

What you suggested I tried to add it sometime ago, but at the end I had to use a few internal timers that really scared me about any possible side effects, and I thought that maybe it would be better to do it in a future release, and writing something more robust. So yes, I plan to add that.

Your other suggestion looks very interesting as well. I think it would be nice to associate each position with some weather information such as the temperature.

Somehow I would need a php page that returns the temperature when I pass a latitude/longitude position. I'm not sure if there is a public web page that returns that though.

Once I have that, I could create some new alerts based on changes of temperature.

As usual, not too fancy stuff, I always want to keep this program as simple as possible. I will add it to the to-do list and I will try to make some research on this soon.

Thanks for your suggestions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'm sorry but I don't know that program. I think it's better that you try both and check the features that both programs can offer.

Maybe some other users have used that other program and can give you more information.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
I'm afraid I wasn't clear in my reply. As far as I know there's no way to tell the location of an IP provided by an GSM-provider (Or you work for this Provider and have the correct authorisations.) Maybe you meant to say you got the location of the cellID? If so,.. there might be 1000 phones connected :(

Only your provider (i.c.w police) are entitled to get the position of the IMEI-code of the phone, thus it's location,... and than only in an area of aprox 1,5 km or more. With a 3-points they can get really close to the location. But that's really up to your provider and the police.

I have the feeling this might be too much off-topic for TrackMe by the way,....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
oh man... sorry about that.

Unfortunately I don't store any additional information in the database (because of privacy reasons as you may guess) that may help you.

If you have another phone I think you should configure TrackMe with the same username and password and export all the data to a KML file just in case the guy finds the program and delete all the positions. However maybe the guy doesn't know anything about these phones though...

Good luck and keep us updated!

I hope you can get the phone back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Raggeh,

There can be many updates that you haven't applied. Even if you fix this new issue there may be others. They also need to be applied in correct order otherwise you may get unexpected results.

Anyway, I made a search for 'ALTER TABLE' and I found this post.

Try it just in case resolves that issue:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
Thanks for your quick and relevant reply!

And yes,.. I did try the: "Use Cell ID is a position is available but minimum required satellites not reached",... but if the minimum is set to 1 and i'm connected to more TrackMe gives me the CellID!-) Don't bother to get in an in-dept reply! I can live with it!

I think to read in your reply that the server-side-sollution is the best way to implement this feature?

If so,... there's a need for an overlay-kml (or kmz) file that you can 'layer' with your googlemaps.

I used accuweather the first time (it's worldwide)

http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/88896/Main/82938 (thanx to google earth community)

But for my own needs I needed some more detailed kmz:

http://google.buienradar.nl/buienradar.kmz

Only thing 'we' need (I think) is a worldwide kml or kmz feed. And a better php-guru than myself to put those things together!-)

If you take a close look at the kml/kmz-files you see it points out the locations for a really big region. If the LongLat of the file reaches your position,... you're getting wet (or blown away,.. or whatever).

I'll try to come up with a solution to put those two given facts together.

The TouchCruise I use has already Accuweather installed. Only thing it needs to know is were I am at the moment. Instead it asks me for a place I like to see the weather from!-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for those links. I will take a look more carefully later.

I think the best would be that the user wouldn't need to have anything else installed on the pda.

I found this page that does something similar but I think returns a lot of more information that we don't need.

http://eqinfo.ucsd.edu/~rnewman/howtos/php/soap_noaa_weather.php

It can be called with this:

<?php
$test = $weather->NDFDgenByDay( "35.225","-120.111", "2007-07-05T12:00:00", 5, "24 hourly" ) ;
echo $test ;
?>

That's basically what I need. A function that I can call in my php page that returns the temperature based on a lat/long.

I cannot try that example now but I hope I can do some testing in a few days.

Just what I was looking for...

Hi,

Really great app, exactly what I have been wanting to make myself for so long, but never had the guts to start on (as I have not done much programming for at least 10 years).

There is one small issue I came across: it looks like the serial device used to attach to the internal GPS is not closed properly or some internal status is not cleared when stopping trackme on my E-ten X800: after starting/stopping it once, it cannot connect to the GPS device anymore. I need to restart my mobile to get it to work again.

Any hints?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
What error do you get when you try to connect again?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smerkx:
No error, status just remains at: "Waiting for GPS response".

I can see the LED from the GPS receiver flashing, so it is switched on by opening the port, but trackme doesn't get any response.

If I quit and go to BeeLineGPS I get an immediate fix, but when I quit that and go back to trackme it remains on 'Waiting for GPS response'.

This is with version 5.2.8.129.

Regards,

Stanley.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smerkx:
And some more info: after going into config/server (to change the server to my own server) and then pressing the 'play' button to start a track, there is no problem and almost immediately the status changes to 'Connected'.

And now another small problem: my own webserver is protected with a username/password... I cannot upload any positions to it as I cannot specify these in the server config. Not a real issue: I could make the trackme directory passwordless...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smerkx:
And going into config/server only worked once... Now I cannot get it to repeat...

Change registry sleep mode ?

I am scared to put this question, but I could not find the answer, neather on the forum of the developer.

I've been trying a few programs and for me this is the best. Great work, thanks !

I would be perfect for me, if I could change the settings to let the program work in the background (that put the phone in standby, not only screen-off) .

And the other question is to let the program allow the device to go sleep.

Yes, that information is stored in the database.

We have a public database where the CellIDs and its GPS positions are stored.

Change suspend mode to screen off mode

Dear Sir,

I am sorry to stress you again with this.

I've changed in the registry the suspend mode to screen off.

This means when I push the power off button, my device is not in suspend but in screen off mode.

I know this is not the best solution because it will not be good for the battery drain.

If now I could find the way to let the phone go to sleep mode ( = what means screen off ) , this would be what I want.

And I wish a was clever enough to put this all in a tweak, to be able to change it quicky (suspend-screenoff mode) , because playing in the registry every time is not that handy.

Thanks.
