I took a walk over to the high school building, though I forgot to turn on TrackMe until I was walking into the building, but I can't say as that I see any real difference between using the Screen Off function as opposed to just locking my phone (FN + *) or going to my home screen and letting it turn off my display as per my power settings, except that in the latter, it appears to keep tracking. So perhaps for SP users (or maybe just certain models like the Ozone?) the Screen Off function might be unnecessary and actually detrimental to the use of the program while the native power management functions work as the Screen Off function is intended. I have my phone locked right now and am about to walk back over to my office and I'll check to make sure it is actually tracking me there.

Perfectly understandable. As it is, the program is leaps and bounds from where it was when you first started it. (I only just found out about it, but I did take the time to read the entire thread. I don't know how you manage to read the same questions over and over and over again without tearing your hair out. ie: local mode, etc :rolleyes: ) I can't wait to test some of the other features out.

No problem. It's the least I can do. If you get the chance, perhaps you can verify as well that the Ozone's native power management is equal to the Screen Off function? I'm not sure what the power savings on other devices was like with the feature. On a side note, as I was testing last night, eventually my power settings kicked in anyway, no matter if I was using Screen Off or just running it without Screen Off. I have it set to lock the device after 5 minutes of inactivity. Apparently it doesn't consider GPS tracking an activity. :D EDIT: It also turns off the screen after a set amount of time, think I currently have it set to a minute when on battery since I just did another hard reset last night (tried to HardSPL but the new boot loader from the VZW WM6.5 ROM was having none of that... I have to wait a bit for someone to update the tools to try any cooked ROMs now :/ ) and haven't made it longer.

Well, I've killed as much time as I can over here I think... I'm troubleshooting a printer that's currently working. *lol*

EDIT: Perhaps I'm wrong... It seems to have picked up a point while I was walking, but then didn't pick up any more until I got back into the office and went back into TrackMe. I'm probably heading to another building again after lunch, complete with a drive through a really poor reception area, but I'll start another trip for that and see if it works with the screen locked instead of using the Screen Off function.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah, I tried the Lock button as well on the Ozone. It will eventually turn off the GPS as well.

Believe me... I spent days trying things on this device! If at least could find an option to lock the device without turning off the screen it would be enough for me!

Thanks again for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
That's a shame. I was all excited it might be working with just the lock. Should have figured you tried that already. Any idea how long until the GPS shuts off? I know you've mentioned too many timers already but maybe there's room for one more to keep the GPS alive if you've not selected turning the GPS off between points.

Also, while searching for something else I came across this: GPS Keep-Alive, though it looks like it's for WM6, which leaves out all the WM5 devices, unless this can work on WM5 as well or there's a similar function for WM5. This also led me to find this post which has some software designed for the Titan to keep the GPS alive as long as it doesn't go into standby (if I read it right) from which you might be able to get some info on how they manage it. It looks like having GMaps running in the background might keep it alive as well, though that's just going to kill the battery pretty quick I'm sure, and on the Ozone it might suffer the same problem of WM shutting off the GPS after a while anyway.

In any case, I'm liking this program and will just have to keep an eye on it to make sure it's running until you manage to get some time to figure it out. :)

And as I said, you've got a donation coming your way once I'm not so far down the rabbit hole of finances. Why does Christmas, car insurance, car inspection, car repairs and practically every other bill all coincide with each other?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The GPS-Alive program I think it just reads from the GPS and it doesn't do anything else. That's basically what TrackMe does. Probably if you turn off the screen while running that program the same problem will arise.

The thing is this problem is not really related to TrackMe.

Any other GPS application (as far as I know) has the same problem. If the Ozone decides to close the connection to the GPS when the screen is off, there is not too much I can do.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
Darn, was hoping it was something useful that would help you solve the issue. Anyone got friends at MS or HTC that can get them to stop shutting off the GPS? ;)

I still love this program. Definitely one of my new favorites.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot! I wish we can find a workaround for this problem with our Ozone one day!

Problem

I actually have a problem in running trackme, it gives me error whenever I try to create a new trip.

Most probably the problem is related to the fact that I have Windows mobile 6.5.0 and CF is already installed with a higher version number. The program runs as long as the SQL CE is not used, then it starts having trouble.

Is the source of the program possibly available to compile it myself? or does anybody have a clue on what to do.

I cannot reinstall a lower version of CF since it is already on the ROM.

Help appreciated :)

Marty
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I don't think it's a problem with the version of CF. Is there a newer version than 3.5? What error message do you get?

Image Upload

When I try to upload an image using Force update there are no images showing up in the file browser. The location is My Device\My Documents\My Pictures. If I try to navigate to another folder, I cannot see any folders other than My Device, My Docs, or My Pictures. If I use File Explorer, I can see the images.

Any ideas? All the other features seem to be working fine.

Thanks in advance.

Owen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you go to My Device, are you not going able to navigate to any folder in your PDA?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ogreen:
No, I cannot. However, I removed the SIM from the Tilt and put into a BlackJack II and the pictures are displayed and seem to be working correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'm sorry but no idea... Let's see if somebody else has had a similar problem and can help you with that.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ogreen:
Once I put the SIM back in the Tilt, I now can see the images and navigate around as one would expect. Looks like things are good to go...

Thanks!!

Was hoping that after another month, more people would be using Windows 7 by now. If you do, could you please try google earth with trackme? Thanks.

[solved]

ad muncher was the cause.

Windows XP ROCKSSSS!!!!

i try it!!! EXELENT!!! now i will use my own server, i will tell you later for problems, hope no!! ;o)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muntos:
On My HD2 I checked "Start minimized", but after soft reset my device TrackMe starts in full screen, not minimized. Why ?

L.E. After searching a little it seems that there is a problem with this on some devices.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, it happens on some devices but I'm not sure why :confused:

Trackme, Google Earth and Win 7 are fine

The issue I had with Google Earth no longer working with Trackme after I installed Windows 7 is solved.

Installed a new video card in the PC, HD 5770, and had BSOD if I tried changing resolutions. Searching, found new version of ATi drivers fixed an issue with changing resolutions and Microsoft Security Essentials. Disabled MSE, and sure enough, could change resolutions. This got me thinking. It is not always the obvious causing the problems.

Turns out the Google Earth issue was not Windows 7 related, but my spam blocker software, Ad Muncher, doing it's job. Adding the Trackme users URL to allowed in Ad Muncher, and GE now works great again with Trackme. Can again track multiple Trackme users live on the same screen at the same time.

Thanks again for the great software!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's great news! Thanks a lot for sharing that. :cool:

If it's possible try to reinstall SQL Server (you can use the one from my website)

Not sure if that's the problem but you can give it a try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys, I had to disable the option 'Find closest buddy' on my server.

I got an email from my web hosting saying that it takes too much processing time and otherwise they will have to disable my database.

I will have to find a better way of doing that before putting that function back.

Sorry about that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] StiflersMom:
First of all: GREAT APP ! Thanks for putting so much effort in it.

Is there a way to disable the "short link" feature - other than disconnect my network-connection first?

The link conversion causes gprs connection costs in foreign countrys which I want to avoid. The "long link" for google maps works fine for that, even if it doesn't look that nice ;)

Also it would be nice if I could change the pre-set text "This is my position" to something different - maybe in a config file or so?

No more feature requests for now :)

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
StiflersMom,

Thanks for your suggestions.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cogcaviz24:
good program. but it's about as clear as mud to me on how to use it. anyone care to tell the settings i need to store info on the phone itself. so later, i can connect it to my laptop and view the saved info?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Just keep checked the option 'Hide advanced settings' at the bottom of the configuration window. Then take a look at the manual. It will give you the basics. There is a 'Quick start' section there too.

Yes, you should be able to see a saved track or live tracking from your laptop.

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT TRACKME!!

hey guys, I wanted to let you know that sometime ago I got an agreement with a company and they have acquired TrackMe.

They asked me not to make it official until they had the website and the server almost ready, so I want to apologize that I couldn't announce it sooner.

No really a big change. TrackMe is still going to be free for people using it with no commercial purposes. If you plan to use it for commercial purposes please let me know.

On the other hand, I'm going to keep adding new features and support to the program so this is not going to change either.

They are also working on a version for iPhones and they told me yesterday that they plan to release it by the end of this month.

So this is good news for all that people who have been asking for a version for these phones.

I want to thank you guys for all your support with this program. I never thought it was going to become so popular.

I wrote it just for fun and right now we have more than 10,000 users using my server. I hope TrackMe keeps growing more and more in the future.

I will do my best to keep adding all your ideas to make it better. The main reason TrackMe is what it is right now if because of you guys.

Thanks to everybody.

One more thing, I will have to concentrate on other projects for the next couple of months so I won't be able to offer too much support.

But I promise I will be back!. I hope veteran TrackMe's users can help with some of the questions if I cannot answer ;)

UPDATE 03-11-10

Just to let you know that at this moment the company that acquired TrackMe is not offering support for the product,

so unfortunately I won't be able to help you until they change that. They said it would be maybe a month or two. As soon as

they let me know I'll be active here again. Sorry about this.

UPDATE 2011-03-25

Still no news about updates. Not sure if the company that acquired TrackMe still plans to expand this application, move to WP7 or just leave it as it is now. I don't have news about the iPhone version either.

Anyway, I will keep visiting the forums from time to time in case you guys have any questions. Thank you guys for staying around and keeping this thread alive!

Cheers,

Luis
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Luis,

While I hope this means your awesome support doesn't fade or forced out, I'm really glad to see this. It's great when a good project gets some commercial backing, hopefully it pays for the long hours you've spent on the project!

Congratulations, and don't forget about us ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for your comments. Of course I won't forget!

I hope I can get back to TrackMe soon!

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Hi Luis,

Trackme was the point why i register here @ xda-developers. I'm so happy that i do this step because I found many more good stuff.

But Trackme is the overtopping App!

So I hope you stay tuned!

Sorry if this is covered in one of the myriad of posts here but I installed it on my HD2. When I tried to run it i got a message syaing "This aplication requires a newer version of the Microsoft (R) .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device."

I have no idea what it is talking about! How can a brand new phone need a newer version of anything after a month or so?

Any help with regards what I need to download, check on my phone or anything to get this to run would be helpful.

Please bear with this newbie.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Your device has an older .net... Download the latest.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vanur2:
Thanks. Could you please provide a link to where I can download the latest version?

_LEM_, glad to hear things are going well for you with this app! I am so glad I stumbled onto it several years ago.

If only we'd get better support for the web viewer on private servers like mine. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You're welcome. You have always helped me a lot with new ideas for the program and supporting other users.

This company is very interested in expanding the web viewer, so hopefully we'll be working on that soon.

Disconnect/Connect GPS, no reaction

_LEM_

Thank you for the fine piece of software! I just came accros it and have tested some of the features. I have found one issue that I'm not sure, if it works correctly or if I'm missunderstanding the functionality: When I enable the Disconnect/Connect GPS feature and are sending an event message to that phone, it seems not to be able to start the GPS. I would have expected that it starts GPS, sends the links via SMS und/or email. However, the phone never send the links. I have set the intervall to 10min, but even after 10min neither an sms nor an email is beeing sent.

Messages:

On demand notification triggered

New SMS received: XXXXXXX

No valid positions available

TrackMe will try later when GPS positions are available

Auto tracking started

No valid positions available

TrackMe will try later when .......

With Disconnect/Connect GPS "disabled" it works just fine!

Am I missing something?

shutdown

Hello,

I have a small problem, when i use the trackme software for about 2 hours then is shutdown automatic.

Now i whant to know is ther a way by a log file to check wat the problem is?

Grtz,

Dieuwert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I have the same issue, and it's not TrackMe shutting down, crashing, etc, as far as I have observed, it's Windows Mobile killing it. I'm not sure if TrackMe can do anything in this regard or not, like setting some flag to say "Don't kill me" or such.

What happens is that Windows Mobile can only run a total of 32 processes, one is the kernel, another 15 or so are likely other required processes.. If you tweak and you're running a custom rom you might get the idle number down to low 20's... But if you run things like weather, other GPS software etc, the number of processes might sneak up to the 30 mark and Windows Mobile kills one or more processes, and TrackMe seems to be the victim most often.

Most often this is a thing that happens perhaps at most every 30 minutes or so, again, likely around my weather updating or some other periodic process kicking off, so what I did was write a MortScript which combined with PhoneAlarm looks to see if TrackMe *should* be running (based on the PhoneAlarm profile in use) and if it's not, runs it. The script also logs memory every time it checks (15s) and I've never seen the memory drop really low or anything.. But for me, that mitigates the problem most of the time.

Although I've gone to primarily using a standalone GPS Bluetooth data logger and feeding that data into the TrackMe database. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djdive:
That remains a problem that i have.

TrackMe was shutdown when i get from imap some new mails (new processes for the kernel)

I'm currently running a custom TYTN II ROM where i have the trackme software.

Is it possible that I may receive your script so i can try if it's working?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
No problem, but it is geared around PhoneAlarm so you'll have to make some adjustments.. Again basically the script is called by PhoneAlarm and as long as the PhoneAlarm profile is the one I use for GPS Tracking, it continues to run (and keep TrackMe) running, once that profile is changed the next interval it exits. It doesn't force TrackMe to exit or anything, just the script exits.

Also looking at the script I've just remembered that I also tweak the trackme config so that it doesn't set "new tripname" while this is running so that if TrackMe crashes, it uses the same tripname. Sometimes it backfired on me but overall it worked better than a new tripname every time. Up to you if you want this, it's just a few lines in this script to edit/remove to not use that. It uses a separate script, the tracktrip.mscr, to do that config file editing.

Hope it helps some :)

Congrats & 'issues'

Hoi _LEM_

TrackMe still works like a charm on my HTC Touch Cruise (yep,.. stil using this prehistoric apparatus).

Since the last release I noticed however that in GPS-mode TrackMe seems to double the speed it shows in the browser!-) As far as I know I didn't adjust any settings in this period (As an matter a fact I played with the settings just in the beginning when I first tried this nifty little app long time ago).

Secondly I noticed some 'weird' behaviour of the program when I wanted to play with the GeoFence options. When I open the GeoFence alerts and I want to close the menu with 'ok',.. it opens the 'options menu'.

Oh,.. almost forgot the congrats! I'm glad that TrackMe finally got noticed in 'the real world'. I hope that al your effords will finally pay off!-)

I'm having problem setting my own server. I've followed the instructions and everything seems to be runnging fine. When I go to http://wojtek.enetia.pl/test/ i have error message: "One or more TrackMe tables in your database are empty. You must generate data by running the TrackMe application on your Windows Mobile device before the map display will work properly.". Ok, so I configured TrackMe in server tab: provided username and pass, filled server information:

ip addres: wojtek.enetia.pl

port: 80

root folder: /test

ext php

and yet I got error: User didn't exist and system was unable to create it. Don't know where to look for any log that would indicate why there was a problem... Can anybody help me?

And is there a way to store tracks on pda and export them to kml format from the TrackMe without sending them to server? I thought there was such option (in older versions?) but now I cant locate it...
