Very useful software

This one is great and I'll try to put in my ROM. Will all configurations remain if the device is hard reset?

Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cAnArdtichAud:
A-GPS without GPS in fact...only using cell network would be great because, the trinity's gps chip is a bit long to fix and as difficulties to fix from the inside..or if someone "finds" my 'lost' phone, he will surely bring it at home... and there, your product will have difficulties to send me informations...i've ever tried with another anti-theft soft
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] walshieau:
you should include the OpenNETCF DLL's in your sourcecode zip file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Not yet. All configurations are stored in registry. I'm thinking to backup the configuration in memory card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
No problem! I'll do it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] irus:
where in the registry are the settings for default name, email, password, and gps settings. thanks

Thank you :)

No, this application does not run in background. When a SMS arrives with a command (rt#<something>) RT is started by pocket outlook, answer the command and exit. The memory used to process the command depends what command need to be executed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yes, the configurations is stored in this key. I must hide this settings in somewhere just for thiefs do not find it so easy. :rolleyes:

But I'm thinking again about it. To make it more useful in custom ROMs, I'm thinking about make backups in memory cards to be read automaticaly when the registry is clear.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] irus:
well this explans why i could not find it. when i searched through the reg i was using the default number but i did not think about it being encrypted. nice job ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] irus:
can anyone tell me if they got this to work with there gps and if so what are your gps settings. thanks

lastnikita: Are you sure that cell is in the DB? Chances are, that unless you have actually uploaded that cell (e.g. using the Watchee client), it's not there. Cells in the DB are still sparse. Check with the map on OpecCellID.org.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CWK:
No worries, my comments were not directed at you.

I am using version 2.0. I didn't see the post on the beta version until now.

Anyhow, I just took a stab at ending the command with "#" and it worked.

I'll give the beta version a try when I have a chance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastnikita:
no, I didn't check it nor add it.. just wanted to help with testing :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
The new CellID test program seems to work for me also, although its giving a reading thats a bit off (by about 12 miles)

Ill make sure i test it when im somewhere else though (and connection to a different cell tower), just to check.

Cheers, Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I don't know why, but with zero in lac parameter you got some result. But the result does not appers to be right. Try:

http://www.opencellid.org/cell/get?mcc=208&mnc=10&cellid=48713&lac=0

you will get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <rsp stat="ok">
<cell lon="1.83553475211207" mcc="208" cellId="" mnc="10" nbSamples="63" lat="48.3367736316608" range="1000" lac="0" />
</rsp>

Beta 3 now get informations from opencellid directly. But I'll read more about this service to see why the converted coordinates are wrong.

I live in south of Brazil, and my test told me I live in North! About 4000 kilometers away! Very strange, but we are very close do find a good solution for this point.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Hi,

ok, I have tested my position with opencellid.org, but as I mentioned before my position in maps.google.com was nearly 300 km far away.

So, it is necessary that first of all the cellID and also the LAC should be updated on cellid.org with an agent on the phone. I have used Watchee - very easy to install and very easy to use. Just start GPS and make a connection to opencellid - after that send the position to the database.

After that I tested again my position with opencellid.org and surprise surprise, the position in maps.google.com was absolutely correct.

Conclusion:

It is mandatory that the database on opencellid.org has to "learn" the cellid and also the LAC data.

I do not know how many CellIDs and/or LAC exists - probably millions.

Means: opencellid.org will gives the correct position in case the CellID and LAC in known in the database.

@joubertvasc: Again, great work !!!

Hello,

I have tested the issue with the password if sending the SMS via email - I was one of the persons who has the problems.

Unfortunately the problem still exists.

I have edited again the rtmain.cs in a way that the whole command (incl.password) will be logged in the rtdebug.log.

The CR still exists.

Solution:

1. Password has to be a fixed length, i.e. 4 characters and than in rtmain.cs password = words[3].Substring(1,4);

2. I will try to fix the problem (only 1-0, a-z are allowed)

regards

kuzco
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thank you!

I send an e-mail to opencellid explaining what we are doing here. Hope for an answer. I told them I want to make an app to learn wifi spot position and I can make the same for cellid. But I need to know what they need and how I can send the informations (url, may be).

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Did you see in rtmain.cs, function mi_MessageReceived? I'm using your second option. I made the follow test:

string text2 = "";
char letter;

// Make a clean string, without control characteres
for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
{
letter = System.Convert.ToChar(text.Substring(i, 1));
if (((int)letter >= 32 || (int)letter <= 122) && (int)letter != 34)
{
text2 += text.Substring(i, 1);
}
}

text2 = text2.Trim();

'text' is the original variable with the string received in sms and 'text2' will have the same value, but using only characters between space and 'z'. The 34 code is the " character, also ignored.

Can you test again using beta 3?

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Very good and very easy! :)

Thank you very much.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Hi,

i think you will have here a difficult situation.

In case you wants to have the position of your phone with the CellID via opencellid.org, it is necessary that all data (MNC, MMC, LAC, CellID AND GPS positions) have to be in the database of opencellid. Means, if these datas are not in the database, you will not get the position although you have MNC, MCC, LAC and CellID.

And you can only update the database at opencellid.org with a GPS transeiver.

So:

1. If you have a GPS receiver, you can find the phone with the correct command (in case you have a GPS connection)

2. If you have a GPS receiver but no connection, you can find you phone only with the CellID information if all datas including GPS were in the database.

A little bit tricky.

Hi,

have tested 3beta3 with the same problem.

Reason for that is that for example gmx.net adds a / after the subject; means I send a SMS via email with teh subject rt#ego##1604, but the log says:

29.11.08 23:51:05 - mi_MessageReceived. Command received: rt#ego##1234/

--

End: 29.11.08 23:51:06

Means, the / at the end of the password is allowed due to the definition you have done.

I think the problem can be solved to allow only 0-9, A-Z and a-z (48-57, 65-90, 97-122).

Great! Beta 4 will only accept numbers and letters in password.

Success! :D

I wrote the app to scan WiFi spot and CellIDs. Using this API I could send informations to OpenCellID and after that RT worked like a charm!!!!

Now is too late. My bed is calling me. Tomorrow I'll work a little more in RTScanner interface and upload the first beta.

At this moment I get all nearby WiFi spots, the current CellID and save two xml files. For CellID I can send to OpenCellID. For WiFi I'll create a service or search for one. Tomorrow morning I'll walk around the city to see if it will really work ;)

Hello All!

I'm here with Beta4: http://www.self-share.com/ei7hpy9catgw/RTConfigV3BT4.CAB.html

In this beta we have:

- Password only accepting numbers and letters (Kuzko, please give a try!);

- New app: RTScanner. It's not the final app, but it's funcional.

Now I'll take a beer :)

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Working perfectly, Getting the correct wifi names and whatnot (the scanner app is).

Im starting to use Watchee to see if uploading my cellid and GPS coords to ensure that your app is pulling the right GPS coordinates.

Will report back later, have a nice beer!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Hello Joubert,

I have tested 3b4 but unfortunately there exists still the password problem.

In case you can send me the code for 3b4 I will try to fix it. I will create a new RT for debugging, so that the debug-log includes some more entries for this issue.

I think it is more easy for me to test this issue.

BTW: The RTScanner works like well.

Regards

Enjoy your beer. I will take my one now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Is it possible, or on the TODO list, to take a picture and send it back via email (or mms) and perhaps record some audio and send it back?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Very good Mike! Hope RTScanner is working fine comparing with Watchee.

I'm returning from a friend's house and I let the app running. I got about 20 cellids and 150 wifi spots!!! I tested the coordinates in opencellid and all of them worked.

BTW: the guys from OCI e-mailed me and I have the green light to make anything, including support if I need. I asked them if they have plans to expand the service to stored wifi spot positions too. Waiting for an answer.

Joubert,

this might be the solution: Skyhook. They combine Cell IDs and WiFi, have a large DB and provide an API. I'm not sure on the licensing terms, though.

Check those two links:

Hi!

I'm searching for any solution to take pictures since my first version! WM 6.x is not capable to make it. This job was an API from Windows Mobile, but in this version each manufacturer made its own dll to control the camera. I could not find any answer to make it for all devices.

About the audio, RT has an integration with Vito Audio Notes. This software save all phone calls and you can get these files using an e-mail account.

RT has the CB command too. This command turn the phone on, call the number you passed as parameter and let the microphone opened.

I don't know if it's enough or not, please let me know!

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Great! I'll read about it tomorrow ;)

Thank's!

Joubert

Aha, the CB is even better, real time information. As for the photos, sounds like it's out of your control. Be nice if it was an open API, or the API was actually used ;-) thanks! :)

Hello all,

Beta 7 in: http://www.self-share.com/92kdqgqtu2a1/RTConfigV3BT7.CAB.html

In this beta I made some modifications in RTScanner.

I'm looking for a public service to store wifi informations. The sites krheinwald told me does not have an webapi to be called directly. I contaced them, but no answer yet.

I'll let this point stopped, so, RT will not use wifi localization yet, just cellid and gps. I'll search for others solutions I need for the next version.

If someone find other services, please let me know. I'm thinking about make my own one. It's not hard to do, but I'll need a public database to store the data, or pay for one.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krheinwald:
The second link gives the reverse-engineered HTTP request, so the service (at least for retrieval) can be used without their API.

When you check the coverage map, you can see (at least I could see for m area) that the WiFi databse is very well filled. They seem to have an interest to keep the data up-to-date as this seems to be a commercial service.

Klaus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Hi,

I have a wish for the ToDo-List for RTScanner according updating opencellid.org:

The API says that http://www.opencellid.org/measure/add?key=myapikey&mnc=1&mcc=2&lac=200&cellid=234&lat=3.42&lon=3.12 updates the database.

I believe you are using a "myapikey" which is created on your account. In this case I am not able to delete or edit my entries in the database.

Probably it is possible to edit RTconfig that my personalized "myapikey" is stored and used during the update. In case the user has no "myapikey", the internal "myapikey" should be used. Means, a personalized "myapikey" is not mandatory, but helpful.

I have tested RTScanner and it works perfectly, but I do not get any feedback to an update of the database. Was it successful or not.

Regards

kuzco
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Did you upload some wifi coordinate? I can't :( Their api needs human interference (CAPTCHA system)...

I'm a litle bit furstrated with this point. RTScanner is working fine. There are more wifi spots than dogs in big cities and I don't have where to send this data :mad:

Y tried then RTConfigSP.CAB wich asked me if I want to installed in the device or storage card. I gues Device just in case and the program shows the progress and tells me it was successfully installed, but after that I don't know how to start because I can't see any new program listed.

Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

If you have the OpenNetCF.*.dll you have to have to add a reference to your project. Right click on your project and click Add Reference and select the "Browse" folder.

Put the files in /program files/rtconfig folder in your device and make shortcuts manually:

Other configurations will be done when you run rtconfig at first time.

Hi all!

Version 0.3.0-0 is out.

Please, you can support this project clicking on the banners in http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net website or making donations.

The change log of this version is:

Faster SMSLauncher;

- SMSLauncher now send the IMEI and IMSI numbers when your SIM card is changed;

- The password verification when the message is sent using web sites now ignores invalid characters;

- Password now accept only numbers and letters;

- New German translation;

- New Russian translation;

- New Swedish translation;

- New Dutch translation;

- New application: RTRemote. This application will control RemoteTracker from other Windows Mobile based device;

- New commands:

- msg or message: show a message;

- gi or getinfo: get IMEI and IMSI;

- egi or egetingo: same as gi, but using email;

- RemoteTracker now can be used in devices without GPS, using the CellID of the cell tower. This information is converted using OpenCellId internet service:

- New project: OpenCellClient. This project is a scanner for cell towers. The goal is colect data and send to OpenCellID, a free service to create a complete database of CellID worlwide, with their locations. With this information devices without build in GPS can be found using the information of the tower it is connected.

I started a new thread to talk about OpenCellClient. More details in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=456626

I have WM 6.1 officially from HTC.

Any clue?

By the way, do I have to uninstall any previous version? AND, how do uninstall any previous version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi!

After googling a litle I found this:

"Where do I start when a CAB fails to install?

After it fails, check the \Application Data\Volatile directory on the device. Installation creates a setup.log file there and very often, you can search for “error” in this file and discover the source of the failure. "

Can you look for this log?

Joubert,

Great to see your continued active development - keep up the good work as it is very much appreciated!

I have just downloaded v0.3 and had the opportunity to test out the cell tower identification/positioning, unfortunately with disappointing results.

I had the following details returned:

Network Code: 33
Country Code: 234
Cell ID: 25403
Location Area Code: 1465
Coordinates (from RT via opencellid.org): 52.18095259824, -0.0368035359127855

Having tapped the coordinates into Google Maps (see here) I find this puts me in Cambridge - 120 miles away from my true location in Bristol!

My initial suspicion was that it was the data held by opencellid.org that was incorrect, however I notice that if I manually enter the cell details I get a different set of coordinates as you:

http://www.opencellid.org/cell/get?mcc=234&mnc=33&cellid=25403&lac=1465

Coordinates: 51.4880054263883, -2.57415994418719

This gives a much more reasonable point on the map (here).

Is this info of any use to you? Any ideas where the discrepancy is coming from?
