cellid error

I can't give enough thanks to the dev for this program, the functionality is amazing (and to those who got custom servers up and running).

One question... the GPS tracking works perfectly, but when I try to use cellid because of no satellite signal, the program sends a 'searching...' request to each database, then returns "Unknown answer (<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C..." (with more HTML following). This happens with all of the available databases. Has anyone had experience with this, or have any idea for a fix?

***Hm, looks like I was actually having a server config issue, my mistake... now it's returning 'Unable to get results...'. Could that be a permissions issue of some kind? Back to the drawing board...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you test it first using my public server?

At least that will tell you if your client is working fine.

I just got this app to work but when I click on the big green arrow (top right of the screen) nothing happens. "Waiting for GPS response" ...

Strange because when I open TomTom, within 30secs it finds a sattelite.

Any help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Check the first item in the FAQ just in case it helps.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyncefiction:
So... this is the correct GPS setting?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emay:
My settings are a little different. I use GPD1 as software port and for my Trinity the hardware port is COM9. However in Trackme I have used the hardware port settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyncefiction:
Thing is, when I use the settings that are posted in Staryons FAQ I can't get my TomTom Navigator 6 to work anymore.

I use:

GPS program port : COM7

GPS hardware port : COM5 / 4800 baudrate
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyncefiction:
I got it to work!

I changed COM4 to COM5 in the program itself!

Now I have to figure out how it works. Will take me some reading. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyncefiction:
Ok, this little test worked!

One more question though ... "real time tracking" is only possible when your GPS device has constantly internetconnection, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, you are correct.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Staryon,

A feature occurred to me today. Sometimes I exit TrackMe by accident, but sometimes iGO8 seems to kill EVERY other program running, or there's just some times I hit the wrong thing in QuickMenu and exit. Or I need to soft reset, etc...

I generally keep the options on which create a new trip at startup, so if I want to continue a trip I go to Trips, Get Existing, wait, scroll through the list.. etc.. Would it be possible to put a simple "Resume Previous Trip" or something type button on this screen? It would basically just do "This is trip 50, so I'll get the info for 49 and use it".

Feasible? Maybe it's just me, but I find myself doing it fairly frequently. :/ In fact if I'm out doing some serious tracking business I make sure to uncheck the options to create a new trip on startup so I don't have to manually resume one, but generally I want it to create a new one each startup so I don't have to do it myself.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The next new feature that I'm going to add is going to be the ability to select a trip (or create a new one) from the main screen. That probably may help you with that problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pzucchel:
Hy Staryon, unfortunately i have to report that on my touch HD i am not able to install it. i get the infamous

"File or assembly name 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3', or one of its dependencies, was not found."

and i tried to apply all tricks mentioned in your website without success: essentially, the file System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll never shows up under windows.

I am running DaveUck V3 ROM, which definitely has netcf3.5 installed but only sql server 3.0.3600.0 as most of the stock roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3223439&postcount=270

...Anybody else with the same issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pzucchel:
problem solved:

the sql server 3.5 requires netcf 2.0...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=349357

but it doesn't install correctly if you don't have it!

so:

1. deinstall sql server

2. install netcf 2.0

3. reinstall sql server 3.5

...and trackme works!

So, the problem is somehow specific to all roms without netcf 2.0...and without the server 3.5 already pre-installed...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
That sounds nice. Can you have it sort by Trip_ID, descending? Sorting by name is definitely not ideal. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
No, my rom does not have NetCF 2.0. Perhaps this is some sort of workaround, but I didn't have any problems like this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for the feedback! I will add it to the FAQ.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Staryon,

Ooops! I just noticed that my local trackme database has not been populating Cell ID locations and I finally figured out why. The signalstrength field is not in my database, and I don't see it in the latest server code database.sql either.

So unless I'm missing something, looks like you might need to update that to create the field. Also, how should I create the field? mysql or phpmyadmin info would be fine. Just not sure what type of field I should create for it.

Also, would it be possible for the sql queries/inserts which could potentially go badly like this have their return code checked? I tried a quick $result=mysql_query($sql) and looking at $result but it was blank. Only way I figured out what was going on was echoing the $sql and trying the insert line in mysql client.

ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'signalstrength' in 'field list'

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I don't maintain the web viewer or the installation package because I didn't write them.

Make a search by 'signalstrength' inside this post. Since this has been asked several times you should find the required sql statements for updating your database.

Let me know if you cannot find it.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
khaytsus, I just downloaded the server files and the file database.sql contains the signalstrengh field. Are you sure you are using the latest version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pzucchel:
FYI the problem is spontaneously solved. i don't know if it is because i didn't move from my screen, but i went to my office, uploaded the positions and....magic!...the website started working....i don't know if it is the "trip" or simply the fact a connection from an intranet could be seen somehow differently....bah!

trackme is, in my opinion, the application of the year - together with SlideIt...great Job, great Job, great Job!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot man!... I really appreciate your comments.

I'm glad you got it to work too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psyncefiction:
Staryon, it would be nice if we could share our trips with friends on Facebook. Is there any possibility?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's a good idea. Once the web viewer allows users to share trips among other users this will be easy to do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Gah, I must have typoed when I was grepping the file earlier.. :( Yes, it's there, I just looked at the copy I downloaded today to double-check it.

Sorry I missed the previous posts about this, I recall them but I hadn't paid attention to them at the time thinking it was something.. else. Oh well!

It's working fine now! Lots of shiny new data with signal data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I just added the ability to select a trip from the main screen.

My initial idea was to have a drop-down box in that window, so everything was done from there. However, I'm having a lot of problems receiving the right events (CF can be a nightmare sometimes) and I decided to put the selection in a different window.

I hope you guys still like it...

This is how it looks:

When you click on that new icon, the trip selection window will show up.

I am not going to release it yet. I want to keep trying it to see if I can come up with something so we don't have that extra step.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] timoline:
My suggestion is:

Remove debug window from start window...make a seperate Icon for debug window
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zajaklis:
no, leave it as it is!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chameleon846:
Further to my earlier posts with regards this problem... it still doesn't work! I'm using the Elegance 2.14 ROM on a Trinity. It's has WM6.1 ROM with netcf3.5 and sqlserverce (3.0.3600.0) already installed. I am not able to upgrade to sqlserverce 3.5 or 3.5.1 despite NUMEROUS different attempts. Installing netCF2 first didn't work, neither did the Registry 'hack' mentioned in the FAQ.

My latest suspicion is that possibly another program/process is already using the server, hence blocking any attempt to upgrade it?

Does anyone using a WM6.1 ROM have Trackme working? If you do, what is the version for your registry entry: HKLM->Software->Microsoft->.NetCompactFramework->Installer->Assemblies->Global

System.Data.SqlClient

Mine is 3.0.3600.0 & I can't get it to 3.5.0.0 or higher...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DonToolBag:
Love it..

So, I finally got TrackMe installed on my HTC Touch Pro, works great. (Especially with a cooked ROM that fixes all of the GPS Flakiness.)

Then spent a very longggggggg time working on my domain/webserver last night, but eventually got it up and running, and it's such a fantastic cool app. The web viewer is sooo cool. Left it on this morning while I went to work, and you could actually see where I drove slower (traffic), and where I was able to cruise right along. Today after work, I'm going to test the gps/photo functionality.

Thanks staryon and jcleek for all your hard work.

staryon; you did say there is a .net port for this coming? And also, have you ever considered open-sourcing this?

Good work again guys!

DTB
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available!

- Now it's possible to select a trip from the main screen.

I finally finished this last night. I decided not to include a second row of icons because on some pdas the log screen will be too small (I saw this issue on a Motorola Q that I have) So I had to remove one of the icons at the bottom to support this.

Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, actually I plan to create a new thread for the web viewer development (a user suggested me this). I think it's a good idea and more people may get involved.

Staryon, any idea on when the fix for stealth mode?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry guys... I just found a small bug that doesn't clear the trip name if you have that option to do it automatically.

I just uploaded a new version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Noooooo, you took away the Upload button! Do you have any feedback on how much each button is used, ie: which one could be least missed? I use the Upload button all the time. Forced Upload button, however, I never use (but I obviously can't speak for anyone else).

Otherwise, looks good though. :) I note the Prefs has a blank spot now, and can't think of what was there.. One suggestion is to put the prefs under Trips (Create New and Clear Trip Name) under the new Trips button window, and then 'link' the Trips button in Prefs to that new window.

Also, just another nudge to sort the Trips by trips ID, descending. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah... sorry about that. I had to remove one of them. Anyway, you can still do the same by an extra click (Tools->Upload offline data)

The good news for you is something that I have in my to-do list is the ability to choose what buttons you want have at the bottom. That would resolve your problem.

> Also, just another nudge to sort the Trips by trips ID

Wouldn't be better by creation time? It should be the same though.

Hello,

I use the Trackme application on my new HTC Diamond. It's very good.

Previously I used a nokia e65 (Symbian OS) with a nokia application called Sports tracker. This application tracks like trackme, but displays in the same time, your speed, timings, lat/long, ... and you can also compare your trip to another trip recorded in real time.

Last functionality was to upload to http://sportstracker.nokia.com/ your trip.

Like Trackme.

Perfect, but on sportstracker.nokia.com, you can also display a small graphic with the speed vs time, alt vs time. You can also sort your trip by time, date.

Is it possible to add this features to the server side ? Maybe somebody has already done ?

Anyway, thanks for this application very usefull.

Regards

Vincent
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That looks terrific!

I think that one of the first users of TrackMe made that plugin using some kind of customizable interface. Unfortunately I never heard again from him.

Once I open the new thread for the web viewer development I will include this viewer, just in case somebody wants to follow in that direction.

Thanks for the link!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:

Hi, i would like to remove users and trips from the server database. How can i do it? I hope i didn't miss the right post...;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi,

You cannot remove users from TrackMe (unless that you go directly to your mysql database and delete them manually)

You can delete trips by clicking on the Manage Trips icon.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pzucchel:
Indeed, i removed it successfully from the database by hand. For the benefit of others, here is the detailed procedure to remove an undesired user (in this case, called admin):

mysql> use trackme;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
+-------------------+
| Tables_in_trackme |
+-------------------+
| cellids |
| icons |
| positions |
| trips |
| users |
+-------------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> describe users;
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| ID | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| username | varchar(15) | NO | UNI | | |
| password | varchar(15) | NO | | | |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select ID,username,password from users;
+----+----------+----------+
| ID | username | password |
+----+----------+----------+
| 1 | admin | xxxxxxxx |
| 2 | superdog | xxxxxxxx |
+----+----------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> delete from users where ID=1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select ID,username,password from users;
+----+----------+----------+
| ID | username | password |
+----+----------+----------+
| 2 | superdog | xxxxxxxx |
+----+----------+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, that's correct. However it won't delete the trips and the positions associated with the user. You need to add the following:

delete from trips where fk_users_id=1
delete from positions where fk_users_id=1

Hope it helps.

find closest buddy

Excellent program that I am still trying to figure out.

Have the basics working, and others can usually track me while on motorcycle.

I have not been able to get "find closest buddy" to work.

message says: Unable to get positions. An error message....can not be displayed because optional......

I am connected and position added correctly.

Buddy I was hoping to find in this test is 300 miles away, not currently activated, but last position and trip from yesterday is still easily tracked on trackme or google viewers. I would have thought at least someone would have shown up in buddy search?

I was hoping to track buddy to meet up with him along the 300 mile route over here today.

Also, I am not able to use google maps fully on the phone to track. I can see my exact current position on a google map from within trackme, with point, but if I copy and paste the normal link I use into google maps search, (using phones browser), it shows general area, but no points. Tried Opera and PIE. This is another reason why I hope to get buddy location to work.

Sprint Touch Pro, stock rom. Testing in Florida.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
One thing you can do is to export to KML, then load that link into IE and it'll load into Google Maps on your phone (the standalone application, not the Web app!) and it'll show all of the points in the KML.

You'll want to be somewhat selective of how many points are exported, I'd think thousands would be bad. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Please check the FAQ and you will find out how to see the description of the error message.

Probably you are getting a 'timeout' error. I got that problem sometimes too.

To be honest I haven't really looked into that because I don't think too much people are using that feature and there are more important things to do.

However I have noticed that when I get that timeout error, if I click on the icon again, it works the second time.

Google Maps don't work on mobile phones. As the previous user suggested you can open a KML file with it though.

Hope it helps

SQLSERVER CE problem

Hi Staryon,

SUCCESS! I was missing your TrackMe program so much that I have tried another ROM on my Trinity (Team CV93+Oggi Manilla2D). I installed SqlServer & TrackMe & it works fine again. To answer my earlier registry question I now have two entries for System.Data.SqlClient: 3.0.3600.0

and

3.5.0.0

I think that mt suspicions about not being able to update SqlServer if some process is already using it probably correct.

Anyway, I now have it TrackMe working well (including on my own hosted server). I'm watching the new thread and looking forward to developments on the asp version of the TrackMe viewer!
