Joubert,

Well done on creating such a great app. I'd previously been using W.I.M.P. however much prefer your tool - it appears altogether much more reliable, not to mention full of extra features. Also, I've been very impressed with following the evolution of the software throughout the thread and the support you've been giving and so for this reason I've sent you a donation (a first for me I must admit).

I was wondering if I could take the opportunity to offer some feedback:

GPS - Great to see full decimal representation of the location and not just degree/minutes/etc as they confuse me no end! Am I right in thinking that you send the GPS fix as soon as one is obtained? That is, as soon as a 3D fix has been calculated from 4 satellites? I was wondering if it might be possible to set a higher 'desired' number of satellites and for the software to attempt to wait longer in order to obtain a better fix? Or is there no real advantage in, say, 6/7 satellite fix or 4? (I must confess to having only really tested indoors so whilst I get a fix perhaps multipaths etc might be affecting the potential accuracy)

Alarm - I notice that it appears unnecessary to enter a password in order for the alarm to be triggered - is this intentional? I considered the alarm feature to be something to aid finding a locally-lost phone and hence something only the owner should have the ability to trigger? Or is it designed more for others to be able to activate and hence no need for the password?

All in all a great tool. And if you keep developing it I'll keep donating!!

Ya im having the issue where the email will just stay in my outbox 90% of the time, seems to randomly rarely go through, i tried setting password and going without password. Tried using a dif email, nothing seems to go, if hit to send it again it goes through then :?

Not quite sure why :/ nice program otherwise

*EDIT*

ok so i signed up for yahoo mail, put a yahoo account on my phone and then tried and it works like that :S either something with my gmail, or the way the sprint mobile mail sets thing up.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Neither of these are even relatively close to the feature-set that RT has.

@MJNewton - I think the Alarm function will be changed in an upcoming release. And in regards to the GPS - i think that the more sattelites you have a fix on = the better the positioning, although i dont really know (it would make sense though)

Looking forward to the next version :)

Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krheinwald:
We discussed that before, dropped the password and brought it back, to prevent 'friends' sending rt#alarms in the middle of the night.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MJNewton:
That's my point though - it doesn't currently require a password. :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aniken010:
Can it be done?

Can the program be set to possibly log error messages instead of sending them by email to the end user? Can you set it to not save sent messages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Diskun:
FEATURE REQUEST: For I have one cell line for voice (Vodafone) and another one for 3G Internet (Yoigo), I need to switch often from one SIM to the other.

It would be nice to have a list of authorised SIM cards instead of only one. So we can use more than one SIM in our phones without triggering the antitheft alarm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Have you tried 0.20beta1 ? This version can handle up to 4 SIM cards.

Hi,

I have tested again .20beta with SMSoverEmail .

Unfortunately I get again back a SMS that my password is wrong - but is is not.

SMSover Email

Hi,

it me again.

I have testet SMSoverEMAIL with 0.10l and edited a little bit the debugging in rt.exe.

The following log was created:

Start: 22.08.08 12:46:43

22.08.08 12:46:43 - Configuration: AlarmSound: \Program Files\RTConfig\notify.wav

ELT Timeout: 5

22.08.08 12:46:44 - UpdateBatteryStrength. batteryLevel 61-80%

22.08.08 12:46:44 - UpdateBatteryState. newLevel is Charging? no

22.08.08 12:46:47 - mi_MessageReceived. Command received: rt#ego##1234

22.08.08 12:46:47 - mi_MessageReceived. Command: egoENDE

22.08.08 12:46:47 - mi_MessageReceived. Command: ENDE

22.08.08 12:46:47 - mi_MessageReceived. Command: 1234

ENDE

End: 22.08.08 12:46:48

Description:

The following entries are new:

-----------

22.08.08 12:46:47 - mi_MessageReceived. Command: egoENDE

22.08.08 12:46:47 - mi_MessageReceived. Command: ENDE

22.08.08 12:46:47 - mi_MessageReceived. Command: 1604

ENDE

------------

I have changed RTMAin.cs in a way:

#if debugmode

Debug.AddLog("mi_MessageReceived. Command: " + command + "ENDE", true);

Debug.AddLog("mi_MessageReceived. Command: " + Commands.TelSMS + "ENDE", true);

Debug.AddLog("mi_MessageReceived. Command: " + password + "ENDE", true);

#endif

Means, after checking the received message rt#ego##1234 and splitting the message into command, commands.TelSMS and password, I have added the word ENDE.

As you can see, the whole message was received correctly, BUT after the password 1234 the SMS has a Carriage Return (CR). It seems that this CR is the reason why RT says that the password does not match.

It is possible to check if the SMS has at the end a CR and delete this ?

kuzco1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
EDIT:

I have tested also the length of the password with int lenpassword = words[3].Length;

Log says that length of password is 5 but it is only 4.

Conclusion:

1. The password has a defined length (easiest one).

or

2. Only characters a-z, A-Z and 0-9 are allowed. RT will chekc if last character is allowed.

EDIT 2:

I have checked the ASCII code of the last character - it is 10 and not 13, this means last character is not CR (carriage return) it is LF (Line feed).

I have solved my problem with setting "password = words[3].Substring(0,4);" - I am using a 4 digit password.

Feedback is welcome.

In case I can help to program, please drop me an email

Hope this helps.

Kuzo,

You seem to have picked up on the program very well. Can you help with making it more invisible?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Suggestion for new command

hello,

is it possible to add a command for remote hard reset the device and sd card?

so if the device is stollen i can remote delete all my data and after the hard reset i can track the device (if the softeware is in rom).

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

thanks for the flowers, but the programmer is joubertvasc - not me.

Anyway, where is your problem ?

In case you install the cab in an uninstallable-mode, you will only have the link under /windows/start_up - that is all.

What do you want ?

Regards

kuzco

BTW:

I would like help, but unfortunaltey I have not source code for 0.20beta3.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aniken010:
Thanks for the reply. I'm working to make it more invisible to the end user and need help. The error messsages received on the end users phone? Bad send errors show up on thier screen. Messages sent by email still show up in thier sent folder for email.

Thanks for any support you can give....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GSLEON3:
This is completely possible thru the API. In fact a few programmers have used this to completely wipe sd & device whenever pirated versions or black listed serials were used.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aniken010:
Would the source code be available here?

http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/#binaries
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi! I released version 2. You can download this version here:

http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/#binaries

Improvements in this version:

- New version number format;

- The message sent when your Sim Card is changed now comes with the new IMSI and your IMEI;

- New commands GI and EGI to get Phone information: IMSI and IMEI;

- Now you can store up to 4 known SIM cards;

- New interface for non touch screen devices;

- Uninstall now remove the link to SMSLauncher in \Windows\Startup.

Once again, please support this project clicking on the banners ;)

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Very good!!! I'll try as soon as possible.

BTW, I'm absolutely busy now :( Hope my time comes to normal in few weeks.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi!

Sorry about my late reply. For future versions I'll create my own install/uninstall procedure and RTConfig will have an option to delete the Program Files shortcut.

Another feature I'm thinking to do is the possibility to rename rt.exe to any other. The user will choose another name and move it to another directory, like /Windows.

Do you have more suggestions? Feel free to tell.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi again!

I will work on a comercial version of RT called JVTracker (or so). This software will allow you to track many devices at same time using the web. But this software will not be free.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thank you for your words and for your donation!

I use Windows Mobile internal functions to access GPS. I can't, at this time, to make any configurations directly. For future versions I'll improve that, make the options to control GPS by my self. But, I'm afraid to have problems with unkown devices. I have only an ETEN X800 to make tests.

Yes, Alarm command does not ask for password. I make this command just for fun, because I lost my phone in my office :) But I have receive some requests to ask for password because there is some people kidding with others. I'll wait for others suggestions before make modifications.

Thank you again and sorry about my late reply!

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'm trying to delete this message. But I can't do that because the main API don't let me do it. I think there is a security problem...

I'm thinking to use another way to send these messages, like using web or make my own smtp.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Please give a try in version 2 :) You can be my "tester" for this new feature, because I have only one SIM card.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I tried to find informations about how to make a hard reset but got no success. It's in my TODO list for feature versions. About format sd card I didn't think about it. I'll search for informations and see if it's possible.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Do you have these informations? Will be very usefull for future versions :)

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
I'm sorry dude, but am i missing something? there's an option to play a sound from your device using this...but ... if it's not near you you won't hear it.. and if it is, can't you just call it? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
Haha, I'm a student and got my winmob phone taken from me for the day... had rt built in the ROM and sent the alarm command. It was in my school's main office and within ten minutes they called me down, and asked me how to stop it. "Well... perhaps I should just take it off your hands"

They were so fed up they just gave it back :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yes you are missing something :D

If you lost your phone in your home in SILENT or VIBRATE mode you can call a lot and may be you will not find it.

The ALARM command change the volume configuration to HIGH, play the sound and then change the volume configuration to original.

Cheers,

Joubert

GPS tracking, + Standby mode?

Firstly, many thanks to the developer of this application. I really do think this will come to my rescue one day.

While testing it I noticed that the GPS tracking dosnt work if your phone is in standby mode when the message is received.

This means that I would potentially have to be sending the tracking requests all day until the phone was used (bought out of standby mode). Also, the phone call made would need to be long enough to get a lock.

Hopefully I'm just missing somthing because this application is simply amazing!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krheinwald:
It seems I can confirm this with version 0.2, although I seem to remember this worked in 0.1.

password issue

I'm having this same password issue with the latest release on my Sprint Mogul w/ latest stock ROM. I've had to add an extra # at the end of the command line to get it to work -- otherwise I get the "password doesn't match" problem... This needs to be fixed or documented in the help files... Definitely a change since the earlier versions (could be a change on the Sprint side - I don't know), but it took me about 3 hours and multiple un/reinstalls to finally work through this...

For example...

rt#egp##1234 used to work, but not anymore -- now I have to use rt#egp##1234# to get the program to respond properly.

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
This has the potential to become the best of the bunch.

A few questions if you please (and for whichever the reply is "no", add it to the wishlist please):

- Is it possible to join commands and the phone to parse all the info and execute it all? (it is stupid to send three SMS to do three things)

- The function "findme" can use a different password (or non at all)? (you want your friend to be able to send you this command without knowing your "main" password) ...oups just found the answer myself :)

- Does it send a Google Maps link even through SMS? (there are people that don't readily have a device on-line but still need this info for later and it is easier to just copy a link than try to find how to enter coordinates correctly - WIMP does it)

- Will it be able to read the in/out call list WITHOUT Vito Audio Notes in the future?

- I see you set GPS attempts, but I don't see "timeouts". So for how long it tries to establish a lock and when the attempt is considered failure? Shouldn't there also be a timeout for each attempt or maybe a general timeout? (like "if you cannot find coordinates in the next 4 hours, don't send me anything"... on the other hand I'd like to be able to send me the coordinates WHENEVER it can even if it is a week after I requested it, because maybe just then it got the chance to lock... in this case you need a second command to just "cancel" this so it won't go on forever)

OK waiting for some feedback :) (hopefully).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
I can confirm this issue for 0.20b2.

As already described, if using SMSoverEmail rt#egp##1234 does not not. Reason for that is that my provider Vodafone adds a LF after the SMS.

In case I am using rt#egp##1234# via SMSoverEmail - everything works fine.

Means:

Programmer should edit the documentation that at the end of the SMS should be a #, otherwise SMSoverEmail does not work.

kuzco1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
I can not confirm this.

I have tested .20b2 while my phone (Kaiser) was locked by Goodlink. Everythings works fine.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dyna18:
Can anyone help me with the following problem.

I can't seem to get RT to respond to SMS I'm sending to the phone.

The SMS is coming in normal and is being shown on the phone, instead that RT is picking it up and executing them.

I have tested RT with the test application and it is executing the commands properly that are being send by the test application. But not those by SMS.

What is going wrong that RT is not executing the commands send by SMS?

Commands I'm sending are:

rt#ego#

rt#ego

rt#egi#

rt#egi

In the config I have an e-mail adres entered (which works fine when being tested with the test application).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dyna18:
I'm also confused about the downloads.

I see 2 verions of RT (RT and RTSP). Which one should I get?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rubik:
Yes i remember in version .1 this worked, but with .2 it has stopped working. Basically, right now the MAIN feature of this software, (which is the rt#gp command) when the phone is in standby mode (which is most of the time) is not working.

Awaiting a fix ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ASCIIker:
I believe RT is for touch screen devices while RTSP (where SP = Smart Phone) would be for the non touch screen devices...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Which version ? Have you checked the log-file ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dyna18:
I have the latest version.

The log file shows only events resulting from the test application.

No lines about processed SMS.

So why isn't the program picking up on the SMS and how to fix that?

The link to SMSlauncher is present in the windows/startup dir.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
It's a good thing to go to my TODO list.

This command don't use any password. Make a test and you will see. :)

I had it. But I removed this link to make the SMS fit in only one message. There is an item in my TODO list to change it.

Maybe. But it's a little bit hardest, because RT will have to stay in memory, or I have to right another application to do that.

RT try to get GPS signal for n times defined in GPS attempts. After that RT will send to you a message saying it could not get GPS signal. It's the same as Timeout, but I can't stop in the middle of an attempt. Each attempt is about 5 seconds.

About create two commands, one for start GPS and other to STOP, I have it in my TODO list. Now, we have elt command to log the coordinates and create a path to be used in google earth.

Sorry about my late reply. I'm having troubles with my internet connection.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hello Kuzco,

I tried a lot to reproduce this problem without sucess. I can use my password without problems.

Are you sending SMS from websites?

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Very strange. Did you test to uninstall and reinstall the application?

Please verify if the key below exists:

HKLM/software/Microsoft/Inbox/Rules/RemoteTracker/

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Is you are right.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dyna18:
Yes, the key was present.

I tried to uninstall the application. Noteworthy is that the key was not removed, also some dll files were kept in the program files directory.

I removed those files and the key by hand and reinstalled the application.

It didn't change anything. The register key is there, but incoming SMS are not being processed by RT.

I would like to try the previous version again. See if that fixes it.

Can you tell me where to download 0.1?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
ok will test it soon - thanks for the reply!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Hello Joubert,

I send the SMS directly via an email account (I have tested my company email account and also my private gmx account).

Email is send to 0172xxxxxxxx@vodafone-sms.de.

It seems that Vodafone adds a LineFeed at the end of the SMS. To verify this I have edited the debug mode in a way that the debuglog includes the length of the password and also the ascii code of each character.

I am using a 4 digit password, but RT means that I am using a 5 digit password when using rt#egp##1234. In case I am using rt#egp##1234# RT get the correct 4 digit password.

Summary:

In case I am using rt#egp##1234# instead of rt#egp##1234 everything is fine.

Means, if you can change the documentation that at the end of the SMS should be also a # SMSoverEmail is working fine.

Regards

kuzco1

BTW: It is a great program - next week, when I am back home, I will activate my paypal :-)

In case I can help you, please do not hesitate to send me an email.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
...hope that Google Maps link gets back in SMS mode (or create an extra RT command for that), so that I will kill my other solution (even though I paid for it). :)

QUESTION: Does this program INTERCEPT the SMS you send to it? In other words, if you sent an SMS with RT codes, I hope nothing is displayed on device screen! (no SMS notification) Right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yes, the message is intercepted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
so when is next version due :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dyna18:
Any idea how to fix the problem that SMS are not being processed?

And I would like to try the previous version again. See if that fixes it.

Can you tell me where to download 0.1?

Yes, it is
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Can you send the log file to me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I don't have this service here. I can send SMS from the phone or from web sites. I can't test it :(

Great! Next version will ignore control characters.

I have to thank you for trying and send this feedback. Everyone will have a better solution :)

Once again, sorry about my late reply. I'm struggling against the brazilian ISP's yet...

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'll try to put it back in next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi!

I don't have this list, sorry :( But I worked for RT works in any WM 6.x phone model (with or without touchscreen, qvga, vga and squared screens). Did you get problems?

Thank you for your new translation :)

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yes it is. Sorry about my late reply.

In Brazil we have a few IPS's, but none of them have a good product. I'm without any connection today and I can answer only when I go to some cyber coffee.

I hope I can get my connection back in next week.

I have to ask you to be patient :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leaskovski:
So how many ROM cookers have added this into their ROMs? Seen as the config is supposed to be able to be injected into it, I would have thought that every ROM out there would have started to include this (for devices that have built in GPS).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
I know for my personal custom ROMs, I make sure to include this. As for prebuilt ROMs to download, I don't think this has been included in many as of yet
