How to enable front selfie camera with flash.
[Realme 2 pro Themes, Apps, and Mods] themaverickz:
Thank you!

Most of the features are working, except the slo-mo and front flash.

But I have one question, the tap to focus seems not working, I can't change focus point to nearer/further object. Anyone experiencing same problem?

It varies based on how long the unit has been on the shelf or in the distribution network for that retailer. It will update to the latest versions automatically, one at a time, or you can sideload the full OTA for the latest one and skip all the incremental updates.

Maybe this should finally push more developers to develop custom roms for this device? :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ahadrox:
Can someone confirm me that this Redmi Note 7S is also codenamed lavender or not?

If it is, than

Note 7S = Note 7 IN = Note 7 Global/CN

So yes, there will be more development.

Let's hope for the best, dude.

Redmi note 7 (indian version) and Redmi note 7s uses the same ROM PFGINXM, then how can they have different model numbers? And if I flash MIUI after flashing custom roms, then is there a chance that I will lose 48MP mode?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
I'm looking for a simple application that will run in the background, and send the current GSM/UTMS cell-id to a web server on a periodic basis (via HTTP GET).

Basically a program like cellGPS (http://www.vikinggames.hu/product.php?id=11) but for Windows Mobile. I don't really care about GPS info, since that just sucks power (and doesn't work indoors).

What I'm trying to do here is enable my home automation system to know where I am, without sucking my phone's battery to death (especially since GPS won't work indoors). GSM/UTMS cell-id is 'close enough' for me.

The application would just hit a webserver on my home machine with the current cell-id (http://webserver.com/receiver.php?cellid=4233-23) on a definable period. My own app on my webserver would record that data into a database. I can then go back and use that data to let my home auto system know "hey, Justin's almost home, turn on the HVAC, lights, etc".

It needs to be able to run in the background, no annoying icons on the screen, and start up on phone reset.

I figure since it's just sending the cell-id (which is always available), it would be rather efficient and not use much battery power (especially since I usually leave Activesync on "instant" so the data connection is usually up anyway).

Other extensions to this would let my server update twitter/facebook/etc with "Justin's at ... home/work/etc now.".

Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] pklein90:
wow this would be a great aplication :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Cavey.co.uk:
Two programs come to mind.... Comm Mgr Pro and rk-Location Switch.

I have not really played with these two programs much, but they do Cell tower based switching and might include some of the other features you require (but I do have to admit that they do not have all the features you want).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
Dale Lane posted some c# code to programmatically get the cellID of the current tower.

The rest is pretty simple - a place to enter the url and then periodically issue HTTP GET requests.

I guess I could try to cook up something when I have some time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
Well I went and coded a sample app anyway. It just reads the current tower info at the specified interval. Is this the information that you require?

Just extract the zip to the device and run the .exe.

Note: It requires .NET Compact Framework 2.0
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] hellacopterous:
this sounds pretty cool. remember that cellid information is good for triangulating to about 1000 meters. you can get "justin's on his way home, turn on the AC" but probably not "justin's in the shower, begin youtube upload"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jasonchan:
Works great! even though this topic was supposed to be on logging it to a web database, I am not too keen on that since data charges are expensive. I would be more interested in an internal database where I can simply attach a "friendly name", say the location of the site (ie. corner of main and first st.) to some cell sites (or a group of sites) in the internal database. Similar to what nicetrack used to do on previous WM versions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=320055
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
I will check as soon as I get my Kaiser back -- I managed to shatter the screen over the weekend. doh. This sounds EXACTLY like what I'm looking for.

Someone else mentioned data charges, which I don't care about, since I'm on unlimited data (AT&T won't even sell the things without the unlimited data plan now).

Actually, I still have my older TyTN somewhere. Let me dig it up and give this a try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
There's a program that sort of does this now, called Trackme -- but it only does GPS as far as I know. Adding DB code would probably add a whole lot of complexity (and CPU power).

I'm sure it's doable, though, but I would hope it wouldn't be in this app. I have enough crap running in the background eating precious CPU cycles. :)

I wish I had a Windows machine to do development on. I'm Mac/Linux only, and don't have access to Visual Studio anymore.. I wrote an app to do this for the iPhone, but it can't run in the background due to SDK limitations. It's annoying that Microsoft hasn't made the WinMo SDK work on other platforms (although I guess Apple is doing that with the iPhone, so I don't have much room to talk).

The "goal" of this desired application is to be as lightweight as possible and offload all processing to a real computer. My phone doesn't need to do all of the work.

I can't imagine this would use much bandwidth, anyway. Even if you updated every five minutes, that's far less than 50kb per day, assuming a 64 byte URL + all HTTP and TCP headers. It'd add up to around 1.5 megabytes a month. I'd bet it'd be closer to 800-900kb/month. That's nothing compared to email/etc traffic. I would hope EU/etc carriers aren't so bad that 1.5mb a month would put you over a limit...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
I tested it yesterday when driving home from work. Tower changes were very frequent during my drive home. But lets say that a HTTP GET request (depending on the length of the URL) is on average 100 bytes. Lets say in a day you switch towers 200 times. That would result in just under 20 kilobytes of data usage in a day. I actually calculated this for myself because I also initially thought that one would get a large bill at the end of the month for data usage, but it would seem that this isn't the case.

One could also limit the web requests to only "bookmarked" Cell IDs.

I like the idea of the original poster even though I cannot see how I could use it personally, since I do not have a home automation system.

Regarding more friendly names - I remember that I had set it up on one of my first phones to receive cell broadcast messages from the towers which included the tower friendly name. Haven't tried since, though.

The data that is made available in Windows Mobile is the following:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921533.aspx

Don't see any friendly names of towers though :(

I thought of adding a "bookmark" button so that one can bookmark the current Cell ID (and possibly assign a friendly name) but this would be very awkward while driving (and the frequent tower changes).

Google has a database with Cell IDs and uses them in Google Maps but good luck getting a copy of their database :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
Hah!

I only need 1000 meter resolution. GPS is definitely more accurate, but it would kill the battery in 6 hours flat.

Maybe when the third generation of GPS sats start going up in a few years, GPS receivers will use less power (since the sats will be much more powerful and supposedly will reach inside most buildings).. but that's 2015 at the earliest. Who knows what HTC/etc will come out with by then.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
Only saw your post after I posted mine.

There aren't any web requests yet though, I just wanted to confirm that I was on the right track (through you testing it :) ). I'm willing to give it a bash because I'll learn something through the process.

Some questions arise:

Should the app dial a connection automatically, or just not send out requests if there is no active connection?

Still need to figure out how to get it to run in the background properly

I'm wondering how it should function if the phone is in standby
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
Tower switching will happen quite fast in big populated areas. That's why I was just going for every few minutes and not "as the tower changes".

It's too bad the towers don't "advertise" their GPS coordinates along with the other tower data. It seems like that would have been really easy to stick in the UMTS standard.

I'm surprised Google hasn't open sourced that database, or at least made an API library for it. Afterall, their users are the ones who discovered it all, not them -- Google Maps just records GPS coordinates + cell IDs and uploads them when you run the Google Maps location. I've seen that app upload several hundred kb during some runs.

Going back to the 'post on switch' thing. That might be a neat option -- to send a GET on every tower switch.. I'm going back and forth in my head on if that's a good idea or not. :) It'd be interesting to see how that hits battery life, though. (Since I have ActiveSync with "always push" enabled, I bet it doesn't make much of a difference).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
First beta

Hi guys,

Apologies for the delay - I've been terribly busy.

I managed to create the app so it's ready for testing.

Attached is the cab file. The app consists of two components - the configuration utility and the service. The service is responsible for making the web requests and is launched at startup. You can use the configuration utility to adjust the settings as well as monitor what the service is doing.

The service will automatically dial your data connection when a web update is necessary, but it can also work via WiFi - although I don't see why you would use it via WiFi. It also supports websites that require Windows Authentication (Kerberos or NTLM should work, but do test it).

I think the app should be pretty self explanatory, but please do post if you have any questions or experience any problems.

FIY - the last error (if there is one) is stored in a log file located in:

Program Files\CellID Updater\cidlog.txt

Hope you like it!

EDIT: An update is available on the next page. I'm leaving this attachment as is just for reference purposes, but you should download the one on the next page.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] danielherrero:
CommMgrPro is creating a very big database automatically with operatorID-Cell/LAC-GPS coords sent (automatically) by the users (they can track their movements in realtime with googlemaps). Obviously GPS coords are only sent by GPS enabled devices. You can change the URL where the data is posted (HTTP GET) to point your site and I can give you a free license. Currently 3000 cells registed with gps coords and growing as the users moves....

Hey all - my first post.

I must say, it's outstandingly honorable that you share your skills with us. So good.. (haven't installed the tool yet, hope it's no virus or tv-on/off-switcher)

One question @jmat: How do you process the cellid once it is http'd to your server? Is there a webservice that maps cell-ids to gps?

Frouk
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
Thanks and no, it's not a virus / trojan / <insert something bad here> :D

One thing I forgot to mention is that if the device goes into standby, the service will be "paused". Then, when the device comes out of standby, the service will resume where it left off. I'm not sure whether this is acceptable behaviour for the app, but I considered the alternative - preventing the device from going into standby will drain the battery very quickly. So you would choose when the service should send out updates by taking your device out of standby.

Another thing: you can configure how often the service checks for a new tower and whether it should send out an update if the tower is different or the same since the last check.

I'm still wondering how I can put this app to good use, personally. I don't have a home automation system and I don't need to be tracked by anyone at home. Any ideas on what other uses this app could have? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] frouk:
The configuration is just perfect - that way one can decide when to update just by letting the device go to sleep or not. Another thing: am I right that this app will never be as accurate as Google maps "my location"? It uses triangular approximation with more than one cell-id, right? I experienced it to be very accurate, even being on the train it exactly locates my position, amazing.

I personally intend to use such kind of app for reality/virtuality games where website visitors can track something or someone on the web and then go outside into the real world and do something or meet someone.

But jmats' idea is also amazing.

Cell name

Years ago I had Ericsson R320 (BTW great phone). It showed cell name e.g. "city centre" on the screen besides op name. I dug up my eric from the closet and this option still works. It would be great to have this as a today plugin :D Do you know something like that?

Handy Use of App

Maybe you could mount a web server in your home pc (pretty simple) and track your device if it gets lost or stolen... It would be nice to recover your $700dlls phone right.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] NewLifeTrio:
Very nice app newb5000. Good work! I've been testing it out this evening and it is working very nicely. A quick question though, how easy is it to add the additional Cell info (LAC/MCC/MNC) to the URL variable list? I'm assuming that if you have access to the CellId value, the other values are also accessible. Is this right? Perhaps you would like to share your source code so that others can extend it?

Thanks for a nice little app!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
Some ways I would/could use this:

- Home automation triggers

- Location based twitter posting

- Update facebook profile with a location (that 'find-me' app that someone else has written sucks)

- Find out where your kids are without running a GPS app that sucks power

Some have mentioned stolen phone tracking -- well, this isn't too helpful for this. Cell spots are way too big to be very useful. Now, if you wanted to find out where you left your cell phone (say at the store), you could at least tell the general location of the phone. There are better things for this though, such as WIMP. Problem, of course, is GPS doesn't work indoors... cell tower ID does.

I suppose it's a pretty limited application thing. I'm a pretty big geek, though, and have things like this: http://xtex.org/locate/ ... it uses the GPS information transmitted by my Jeep's ham radio and plots it on Google Maps.

I haven't had a chance to test this thing out yet, even though I initiated the thread, because I managed to shatter my Kaiser's screen a week or two ago. The replacement screen arrived yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to put it in yet (I need to get to work where I actually have a lab work bench and enough light/tools to get it done).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
I could be wrong but I don't think that info from multiple cells can read at the same time in Windows Mobile (or other OSes for that matter), at least not in a device-independent way.

Google maps itself can only guess as to where you are within a cell's coverage zone, as shown in this video.

This page, however, makes me wonder. They mention adjacent cells. Is it the app which is retrieving adjacent cell info from the device radio, or is it simply the app sending the current cellid to Google's servers and the adjacent cells are determined server side from their database of cellid / gps-coordinates? My guess would be the latter.

Cell switching while on the move can also be used to better determine your location and is probably something that Google uses as well.

The app that I wrote simply broadcasts cellid switches to a web server so there is no "location approximation code".

It will be easy, but I will need to release an update. Just to make sure that we are on the same page:

LAC = Location Area Code

MCC = Mobile Country Code

MNC = Mobile Network Code

correct?

There are even more parameters than just the abovementioned ones, obtainable via the Radio Interface Layer - for a full list, check out this page.

I'll cook the parameters you requested into the next update.

Regarding source code, I will probably make the app open source if I determine that I no longer have time to support it, but for now I'm here so I can implement any (reasonable) ideas / sugestions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] NewLifeTrio:
That is indeed correct. Very much looking forward to the update. I've been playing around with the app and by borrowing some code from here and a little jiggery pokery, I've been able to derive longitude and latitude from a cell id (thanks Google!). However I've had to hard code the LAC, MCC and MNC which restricts me to a single LAC area. Can't wait for the additional variables! Thanks for your hard work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newb5000:
An update is available :)

The app is now sitting at version 0.2 - I renamed the cab to reflect this. You can just install this over the old installation - the old version will automatically be uninstalled.

Version 0.2 Changelog

Fixed bug where ampersands in the url would cause problems

Fixed bug where if a web update failed for some reason, the new cell info would not be sent again until a cell switch occurred.

Rephrased some of the text on the Schedule tab.

Fixed some alignment issues when changing to landscape mode.

Added support for Mobile Network Code {mnc}, Mobile Country Code {mcc} and Location Area Code {lac} in the url.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] NewLifeTrio:
Great stuff! This has made my day!

I've been using 0.2 this morning and am happy to say it is working just great.

Thanks for your efforts... looking forward to seeing how this app progresses.

Interesting...

http://developer.garmin.com/mobile/mobile-sdk/xt-wm-sdk/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Esteel:
This sounds pretty interesting. I wonder if it could be used in conjunction with QuickGPS and any GPS application to speed up TTF of the satellites.

For example, the App pulls general location from cell towers, compares it to the ephemeris data in QuickGPS and provides the GPS application more accurate initial satellite information.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
This is the coolest thing ever. :-D

It's exactly what I was looking for. Wow.. too awesome... the only thing left on my 'wishlist' is automatic startup.

Even if it stops when the phone suspends -- that's fine for me. I thought about that some last night -- I probably check my phone every 15-20 minutes anyway, so I wake it up all the time.. and when it's in my car, it's plugged in for power (and I have it set to never suspend when plugged in).

Plus I already use Phone Alarm, which wakes the phone up every 5-6 minutes anyway to check location (so it can switch profiles)..

I was playing with the Navizon API on my iPhone SDK toolkit, and was hoping they'd let me use the free API (http://www.navizon.com/fordevelopers.asp) to send web-based queries to their database to get lat/long data, but no dice. They've also encrypted their requests so I can't see how they're doing it ($5 says it's just an https call to a server, with a GET with username/password/cellid). I'm going to drop them an email and see what they say.. :rolleyes: It's just so much more efficient power wise to do as much "heavy lifting" on a real server than have my cellphone doing stuff it doesn't really need to be doing.

I'm kind of amazed at how much my phone flips between towers at my home... no wonder my battery life sucks here. I must be right on the fringe of three or four cells. When I'm at work, it stays on a single cell the entire time.

I've been running this for a few hours, and my battery life isn't any different than normal. I tried doing this with that 'trackme' program that turns on/off GPS every five minutes, and I lasted all of three hours on a full charge.

Now I just have to do a little mapping of the cells to where I am...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] NewLifeTrio:
There are ways to the same using the "hidden" API that Google Mobile Maps uses for it's "My Location" function.

See here for a php implementation:-

http://www.witracks.com.br/gmaps.txt

For example:-

http://www.witracks.com.br/gmaps.php?myl={mcc}:{mnc}:{lac}:{cellid}

There is also http://www.opencellid.org which is a great idea, and has an open API, but is still lacking the quantity of cell data that Google has.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jmat:
wow... okay... that's a lot better than the ZoneTag stuff from Yahoo.

I've already written a short php script that will receive the data from CellID Updater, and log it to a mysql database. If it doesn't have the lat/long information, it will retrieve it from Google.

I definitely need to clean it up and add error checking (it's pretty much a "oh please hack me" script right now), but I will post it here as soon as I'm done, along with table info and such.
