I fixed the problem. I'll release a new version tonight ok?

Thanks again!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi!

I was reading the log and found what is wrong.

Please see the text:

mi_MessageReceived: command from SMS.
From: 265061
Body: infectionxx9: (using aol im)
rt#findme#
(you can reply to this message)
mi_MessageReceived. Using E-Mail? No
mi_MessageReceived. Using Web? No
1/14/09 10:19:08 AM - mi_MessageReceived. After parser:
Command = findme
TelSMS = (you can reply to this message)
Password = *******

Please see these texts:

- The line: "rt#findme#

(you can reply to this message)" tolds me that software added the "(you can reply to this message)" text to original SMS. So, the software will use this text as your cell number because the text after second '#' should be a number;

- The line "TelSMS = (you can reply to this message)" is the problem. Here the TelSMS variable should have a number, but the software you are using does not send a valid number for response. In that case you must send the cell number you want to receive the position. Messages from WEB or third part software must use the command in full format:

rt#<command>#<phone_number>#<password>

in this case:

rt#findme#<phone_number>#

This last '#' char must be here because the text added by the software.

Please try again. The format rt#findme## let you see the prompt in your device, but no answer will be sent because there are no valid number to send back.

I'm changing that feature to accept only numbers and plus character (for international numbers) will be accept in TelSMS variable or the message will be ignored.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
w00t! You're incredible, thanks again for the fantastic software!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infection0:
Those lines are default in my protocol (AIM) - they cannot be changed.

However, rt#findme## yields a correct reply to my web client since it replies directly to the number that sent the message in the first place. So please don't break this functionality when you implement the restriction in the TelSMS variable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'll upload a BETA first, so you can try if the version will be ok. Right?

New ROm problems

Hi,

I have cooked a new ROM (not my first one) with .Net3.5 and SQLCE_3.5 as OEM package. ROM includes many othe app, i.e. TT7, MSVC, etc.

Everything works fine except of RT and OpenCellClient.

If I start RTConfig or OpenCellClient I will get the following error message:

"Cannot open RTConfig. A critical component is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailble. blablabla"

I have more than 63% of program memory free.

My ROM includes RT incl. rt.dll and all entries in the registry, so no data is missing.

Later I have installed the *.cab - same result !?

I have tried also TrackMe - same result !?

Unfortunatley RT or OpenCellClient will not create a debuglog.

Does some has other OEM packages for .Net3.5 and SQLCE3.5 ?

Any hints ?

Regards kuzco
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
What version of .NET 3.5 do you have? (start cgacutil.exe in /windows)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Did you add all dll files? JVUtils, JVGPS, OpenNETCF.*.DLL, tapi and commondll?

I'm not a rom cooker (would like to be, but have no time to learn), so I can't see what is wrong :(

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Please try this beta: http://www.self-share.com/0nzl6wlgddoc/RTConfig.CAB.html

And tell me what do you think.

This file also fix the rt.dll loader issue.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NitroOnTheRocks:
Here is my package for RemoteTracker i use in my cooked rom.

Works on my diamond.

Just place your rt.dll in the package.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagg3r:
Hi joubert,

I was testing the app and when responding to the command to send emails it opens the actual email app so whoever say has this stolen phone they can see the app opening saying sending message.. anyway around that?

Also I tried the app to get GPS-cordinates with GPS attempts at 50 even at 200, and the position is not-accurate has 0 sattelites fixed. I see the app instnatly sms' or emails me the position. Anyway to make it so the app takes at least 1 minute to lock on to 1 or more sattelites to get an accurate position

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
hm, this makes me serious. I have no cgautil.exe !?

I have installed netcfcgf and it told me that I have 3.5.72830.0.

I think the OEM package has some fault entries.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Thanks, but it is not a problem with RT - it has to do with .net and/or SQLCe.

TrackMe does not work either.

thanks

gp command

Hi,

I tryd the tr#gp##[password]# a few times and it always give the message Could not connect to satellites.

The CellID works fine

i'm using a Samsung OMNIA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
do you have enhanced gps (xtra) enabled? My GPS gets a fix really fast (~3 seconds) - are you near a window pointing towards the equator? oh and are you holding your device with your hands? the GPS antenna is in the upper part so try holding it so that the upper half of your phone is not covered by your hand :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gunther1987:
howto enable enhanced gps?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
let's see...

Start -> Settings -> System -> enhanced GPS

now you have to enable XTRA and set all things as you want them to be - an XTRA-download is ~50KB in size.

In the latest Omnia version (late december, BHHL2) there are more settings in this window so you can control it much better.

BTW.: set a GSM provider here: http://xdaforums.com/profile.php?do=editprofile

So you might get help in your language (if it is not english...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gunther1987:
Ok,

i enabled the enhanced gps xtra, and tryd it again.

Now i get the same problem.

And i get a error that there is a problem with tmail.exe??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gunther1987:
OK it works :D

thx alot for your help.

But i still dont know if it works by Mobistar Internet?

I'm online with wifi right now and then it worked so i now have to try if it works with Mobistar internet.

Thank you

I have question about remote tracker.

in the e-mail tab in default e-mail account, we have the option to set which e-mail account will use RT to send us info from the person who has stolen our mobile. ok.

BTW the options are Activesync and all the other e-mail accounts we have created in our mobile.

what does it mean activesync? to use the configured activesync e-mail account of our device? or to use the activesync connection with a PC to send e-mails using a kind of integrated in RT e-mail client when device is activesync connected to a PC?

I ask this because if our device is stolen and the robber hard resets our device, in case we have cooked Remote tracker in ROM, we can continue enjoying RT features but our device, once hard resetted, there won't be more e-mail acounts activesync and the other e-mail accounts, either.

So if we want to have the e-mail option running once our device is stolen and hard resetted, we have to put in ROM, RT and also configure our e-mail accounts in rom, right? but if done in such a manner, then the robber will be able to check our e-mails, right?

or am I misunderstanding something?

can anybody clarify it to me please?

How RT's e-mail feature can be used in the case of our device being stolen and hardresetted?

thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nonpaq:
Quick Question: Is it possible to play a sound through the phone call on WM phones? The reason I ask... is it possible to play an intro sound through the phone line when the RT#CB#[number] command is executed. It would be nice to answer the call back and have the phone play a sound or recording to you (Ex. "this is your phone calling...").
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
No! Activesync should not be used. I forgot to remove it since first version ;)

I'll remove this line in next version.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
ok, i didn't know it but can you claryfy to me my doubts about the e-mail feature?

if device is hard resetted how can we use this feature?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
@fourcc, Perhaps build your email settings into the ROM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
thanks, i thought about this option but then the robber could check my e-mails once hard reseted!

So what is the goal of this feature (RT e-mail feature)?

how can we securely use it?

I think that i'm misunderstanding something about it, so can anybody tell me something about how to use the RT's e-mail feature?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Anolnx:
No, don't!

The ONLY way to get an email on the way through the daft filter my provider made is to use a MS Exchange server, that means Activesync. Ant it works really good with me. If you remove this, there is no way the french SFR users' phone could send an email.

So pleaaaase, let this option active!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
I don't understand anything. Now i'm yet more confused that before posting my question.

The developer says that this feature shoudn't be used and he will take itout in afuture version but he doesn't explain us why not use it.

And a user says that this option really works good for him.

BTW Anolnx, isn't it unsecure to have this feature running, what about if the robber check your e-mails.

Can anybody answer any of my previous post questions please?

if it is so unsecure to have the e-mail option enabled in RT, why not implement a small e-mail client integrated in RT to send e-mails once the robber steals and hard resets our device?

please somebody should put a bit of light in this matter!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
If said robber is dumb enough to leave my device on, I'll be hot on his trails with this great program. I am a little confused as well Joubert... what is the reason ActiveSync should be removed? You would prefer us to use a POP server or such, instead of an exchange server?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Anolnx:
The "problem" is that activesync can be used in 2 ways:

- way 1 : sync emails between the PC and the mobile device. Usefull to quickly take the emails with you and read them in the bus... In this use, RT email function is absolutely useless, as the robber must connect the device to your PC so that you can recieve its emails...

- way 2 (the way I use it) : dowloads the emails, contacts, and agenda from an MS exchange server through the Internet. In this way (and only this), activesync can be used as a normal email account to send its emails. By the way, when your cell phone provider closes nearly every ports except http and https (means POP3 and IMAP ports are closed and unusable) so that you must pay a hudge amount of money to have a data plan without these limits, the exchange server can work. That is the case for the french SFR users.

So, activesync MUSN'T be used for RT if configured the way 1, but it WORKS and is really USEFULL when configured the way 2.

Hope I am clear enough.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
thanks for clarifing it a bit, although not all :)

in second activesync method, the robber could also check your e-mails in the messaging application so this doesn't seem a good option, right?

I think we need a bit more info about this matter, maybe joubertvasc could explain to us all that a bit better.

At least for now, any e-mail option included in RT seems a bit unsecure.

I think that the best and more secure option would be to add a small e-mail client in RT separately of default's WM6 messaging systems that when detecting any working data connection (Data, Wifi, activesync...) then it would send us e-mails containing robber's info (calls, sms, contacts, camera pictures, appointments, notes) (with the appointments we could also know where and when the robber will be for example! i think that this would be great, what do you think about it guys?)

we would configure the login, password and server settings into RT separated from the default WM6 e-mail accounts and in such a manner the robber would never know anything about our e-mail settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
I have bad news Joubert... I'm still getting no settings from the .dll, with the OEM placing all the files in /windows or /program files/rtconfig :(

[EDIT]: Also, I can confirm it's a problem with the code, and not the dll... 0.3.1-3 works great with the exact same settings, dll, registry entries, ect
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Anolnx:
It is a really good idea but it won't work for me, since the smtp/pop/imap ports are unusable with my provider. Yeah, my provider sucks. I'd say that if Joubert can add this option it would be great for lots of people, but i'd really love that he lets anyway the choice to use activesync or not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
but i'm sure it would work with theft's provider ! (operator/wifi...) and this is what's really important !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infection0:
I will test as soon as I get a chance... may be a day or two seeing as I have a major project due soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagg3r:
I think it would be a GREAT! idea, as at the moment the robber can see the email application load up saying sending emails... if this can be done in secret it would prevent frightening him. Also as said above we need this app to detect a working internet connection so if it can connect to an Unsecured wireless point wifi or scan at regular intervals, 3g, etc .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
when the program sends an email I see nothing on the PDA - I use my hotmail account for this, maybe it's different for outlook emails?

Remote tacker Cooked Rom

Not sure if this infringes the policy on roms would someone recommend a Cooked Rom with this Remote tracker in it. New the Omnia development and have to say I am loving this phone - problem is holding onto it! Have had bad luck with phones the past few years and theft.

Do you still need to have a cooked rom to make it hard reset proof?

Thanks again

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
What do RT users think about this idea to improve RT's E-mail feature?

And what does joubertvasc think about it? ( maybe it is too much work, right? )

if you could answer my RT's e-mail related questions found in these two quotes, i would appreciate it a lot because i don't understand too well RT's e-mail feature and i think a priori it seems very interesting and powerfull.

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infection0:
Reporting back on my tests:

I use AIM messenger to send all of my requests.

rt#gp##<password>

Works.

rt#findme

Still does not work. It says invalid password. Not a big deal.

rt#findme##

It works if I say YES, it will send me the coordinates.

if I say NO, it replies back, "Invalid Command". It should probably say "Request Denied" instead... The alarm also works as intended (will alarm if the phone is on vibrate)

I think I will keep this version and burn it into my ROM. It's very good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Are you sure you have the keys needed to accept to ToS?

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
That's ok for me. :)

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yup. :(

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I think this is an amazing feature I want to create since my first version! But C# and Windows Mobile are limited. Looking to the Changelog we can see a I wrote a lot of good features bypassing a lot of limitations you can't imagine. It was a lot of fun.

But, for SMTP or SMTP Relay I could not find any informations. I tried to create an outlook account programmatically (because of this RTRegCreator have e-mail info), tried to find some SMTP component, tried to use some webmail unsuccessfully. This feature still in my TODO list because someone still can write/discover a solution.

I'm not a C/C++ developer. Maybe these guys can write something about SMTP client. Or maybe someone can found an interop function to create the account programmatically. If we can find some of that information, I write the needed code to this feature ;)

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I forgot to say I'm also thinking to create services on the web. The idea is let RemoteTracker user create an account on the web.

With this account RT will answer not using e-mail or SMS, but using WEB. In that case all the C#/WM limits is gone.

There is a lot of things I can do with this service.

So, why I didn't write the code yet? Money. To create services on the web I must pay for. Because RT is free and donations/adsense can't pay the cost, I decide to postpone this implementation. I still don't want to charge, but I don't want to spend my money also ;)

The solution I think is to create two RT versions: free and charged, so the user decide what they want.

This is only an idea and I'm not sure the way I'll go.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
i perfectly understand you, i think that a lot of people would pay for it.

BTW, meanwhile now how is supposed that we must use the actual e-mail feature of RT?

Did you read my security concerns about it?

or again, am i misunderstaning anthing about it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MacrosEntity:
Cooked!

Joubert, is there any cooked rom you recommend using that has remote tracker in it? I haven't got a clue as to how one cooks roms or even what is a decent rom that I should use.

Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks again.

Chris
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fourcc:
as far as i know, there aren't roms with RT cooked in. and incase they would exist, they wouldn't serve you becasue they would never have your private details you need to take profit of RT features.

so the only chance is that you take an unprotected rom and insert the rt package in it with your private details in aswell, and then you cook it for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I know several people cooking ROMs with RT inside. The best job I saw was made by Boge from Eten-users because he did an application to create custom roms, but only for eten devices. Using his app you can add your personal data directly to the registry and create your own custom rom without any cook knowledge.

I'm thinking again about the web service... your configuration could be stored in there and smslauncher could configure the phone from that service :) In that case anyone could create a custom rom for public use.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iago_00:
Hi there. I'm totally new to this app. I have a cell without GPS. To use Remote Tracker do I have to install Open Cell Client in order to get it working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
No you don't need to intall OCC. RT will use www.opencellid.org database instead of GPS coordinates.

OCC will add informations to opencellid.org to help them to make a bigger database. If your device does not have a GPS you can't send informations.

Hello all!

I just start JVTrip project. Please take a look: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3198692#post3198692

I will be on vacation in february, but as a nerd I need to change my vacation to nerd-vacation :D

This project track your way and export to Google Earth. But you can add notes, costs and pictures to be exported as markers. So, you can make an "album" of your trip using Google Earth ;) Just for fun.

There is an experimental Compass inside. If it works I'll add it to OpenCellClient too.

That is it. If you decide to try JVTrip, please make your comments in that thread.

Hi, just had a nice feature idea for you joubert :)

What about using your technology as a rescue one ?

Let's say you're in danger, kidnapped (don't tell me !) or something, you just launch a shortcut and it will:

send a SMS with GPS/GSM coordinates, and maybe a google map (or else) link.

(Maybe it would be better to have more than one "rescue phone number")

call first number in list, so that he/she can hear what's happening.

when it's hang up, it will call the next one etc. until you disable it.

there's already such an app, but first it's not freeware (I don't like spending too much on stuff I might not use.... I rather prefer offering some gifts to people who helped me :)), and second I think you can do a better job ;)

This app also sends area operator code, and mobile operator code... those are translated from french, and I don't understand what they really are (neither do I in french :/), but maybe you will.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
That's really great!!

And easy to do! But I have to make a few modifications in RT before that.

Will be done in next version, for sure. Maybe not with everything you told, but I'll start this "thread" :)

Thank you!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastnikita:
cool, glad you like it !

so, I will wait for your next version to cook it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alt236:
Since we are all throwing ideas:

How about a file fetching function (AKA FTP over email :p)?

For example, lets say I just lost my phone. On the phone, somewhere under "My Documents", there is a file I really need.

I use my other phone to send a command like rt#filels#/My Documents/#my_email@somewhere.com#mycode

I will then receive an email containing the contents of the /My Documents folder, along the lines of:

<Phone name> @ Time and Date
Contents of "/My Documents/":
[Business]
[Calls]
[Templates]
.
.
.
file.doc
file.xml
file_I_really_want.doc

I then sent something like rt#fileget#/My Documents/file_I_really_want.doc#my_email@somewhere.com#mycode

And I will receive it as an attachment (Assuming of course that the file is small enough to be sent as an attachment).

If the file is not there, I can navigate until I find it using filels.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'm thinking about it. I would like to use some public FTP service, for not advanced users. If you know some service, please tell me.

Regards,

Joubert
