I still think it's not possible :) I'm a little stubborn today ;)

if your phone has only a private ip (192.168.y.z, 10.x.y.z, 172.16-31.y.z, 169.254.y.z) it doesn't matter what ports are blocked, if the router is not configured to route the traffic on port X to YOUR device (instead of the 1000 other phones in the network) your server won't get a packet :)

to your edit: most isps don't block the port, it's just not forwarded! If you open a connection on that local port to a computer in the internet, the traffic from the remote computer gets passed through - because the router knows to send it to the computer that started the conversation. If your server sits behind the router and waits for incoming connections, it won't get any, because the router drops the unknown remote computer's packets.

btw.: that's the way skype works and gets through firewalls and routers - both computers behind the router send their external IPs (the one of their router) to a known host (skype server), grab the other's external IP and then send a packet to the external IP of the other computer - they are dropped at the router but because the router sees that a local computer sent a packet on port x it will forward all following traffic - from now on both computers send the VOIP data to the router and it passes everything to the right computer in the private network.

oh and before someone thinks about using this for RemoteTracker: you need to have a computer in the internet with a static IP AND the phone has to send a packet to the IP of the computer you're using
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WatermelonSlim:
Nothing is impossible :)

So what would have to happen then is the VPN app would have to be using an allowed port, and it would also have to initiate the connection. So we would need to somehow have the remote tracker start the VPN app, discretely, and the VPN app to initiate the connection to remote computer.

Could probably be done with a mortscipt if it is not an option in the VPN app itself.

And yeah, I know how skype works. That is also the way just about every IM works. I don't see why this couldn't work the same way, with the "external server" being your own PC (or whatever you are using to try to access the phone).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Mike, RT does not answer any GPS command or the answer says "could not connect to satellite"?

May be your position is not good for connections. Do Others softwares working fine? Another question: do you know if GPS is activated or not (any light may be)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
It doesnt answer any commands, other programs do get a fix well.

The LED (for GPS) indicator DOES NOT flash when i get a text, its just like it catches the text, but cannot connect to the GPS.

I have set WM to manage the GPS automatically, TomTom works fine in the same place, so it can connect, and receive sattelites.

Just seems odd that its just the GPS but that doesnt work.

I guess theres no way for RT to test to see if the GPS works?

Cheers for the help, Mike.

I'll try some of the other commands that relate to the GPS, like "elt" - to see f it can connect over a period of time, maybe RT doesnt get enough time to connect to the GPS before it times out?

It was also on the Storage Card, so ill re-install to the device memory and see if its that.

EDIT: Installed in to device, and it seems to work, it caught the SMS, then it initiated the GPS, then i got the following error:

rt.exe

NullReferenceException

at rt.RTMain.UpdateData()

at

rt.RTMain.gps_LocationChanged(Object sender, LocationChangedEventArgs args)

at

CommonDLL.Gps.WaitForGpsEvents()

The GPS then doesnt connect, and then it stops trying to connect.

This happened when using the rt#egetposition# command.

To Note, im using WM5 - so no native .Net CF3.5 - had to install it, its installed on the device memory.

Again, thanks for the help, Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Northernmost:
Firstly, many thanks for RT! It's one of my "must have" apps.

One suggestion that's just come to me would be the ability to send RT a command and have it execute a shortcut (stored in the RT install folder perhaps?). That way you could effectively have RT perform anything a user wanted e.g. run a MortScript script. Something like:

rt#exec-shortcutname

This could further be expanded by another command that executes a shortcut, waits for it to complete and then silently send a file generated by whatever command was run and then delete the output file. The file would probably have to be stored at a fixed location (RT install folder?) and have a specific name to keep things simple.

Alternatively, instead of RT handling the silent sending of a file itself you could expose command line parameters in RT that could be used by an external program to make RT do the sending?

Hope the above makes sense... I'm thinking as I type ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'll see if I can do.

Please tell me more about your device:

Manufacturer, model, etc (OS version, .NET version you already told me).

Do you have other GPS software running at the same time?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thank you very much. Very good to read this.

I already thought about before. But that can open a dangerous back door for our devices. Maybe I implement, but only permits the execution if the password is set.

I can make rt.exe read parameters to be used by third part. It's interesting, but I have to think about risks.

Anyway, thank you very much for any contribution. It is the community that are doing a good application to all. I just write the code :D

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kasjopaja:
hihi great

can you make a easy way to change the sound for the "alarm" command

and i dont hear my handy

when i have set my handy in	silent mod

!!??!!

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I din't touch in volume!!! Good point. Thank you again for your translation. I'll release version 10c as soon as possible.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Its a HP device, called HW615 (part of the 6900 series - UK version), running Windows Mobile 5, .Net 3.5CF (version 2 is not installed [if it matters]).

No other programs are running when trying RT.

Cheers for the help mate, Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'll read more about your device. At first view, nothing is wrong :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi all!

Version 0.10c is out.

This version include:

- new translations files;

- new config parameter: alarm sound file. Now you can select the wav file for alarm command. MP3 does not work yet;

- Alarm command now control device's volume. This command will put the volume to maximum, play the sound and put the volume level back. It also works if you set to No Sound or Vibrate mode;

- commands Alarm and FindMe don't ask for password anymore (since 10b);

- SMSLauncher now save a debug file. This file does not contains any personal information and it will help me to find problems when SIM card is change. Please send the file SMSLauncher.Debug.txt to me if this feature does not work for you;

- Minor bug fixes.

Cheers,

Joubert

Great job!

Somethings without VITO installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
I've got Net 1, 2, 3.5 installed, and its still not working, im just still getting the same error as before.

Cant figure out whats going on at all :(

Thanks for all your help though.

Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I didn't see your problem yet. I have to find more informations about your phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Sorry, I didn't understand your question. Can you be more specifc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Anything i could do to help, just give us a shout, looks like its a great piece of kit.

Just to note, other remote tracking software, like WIMP works OK.

Advantage of this software is the increased functionality though.

Could this be HP interfering with the way that GPS is managed?

Cheers, Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
You can make a test. Open your Windows\Startup folder and move all links in there to other folder. Do a softreset. At this point your device will start without anything in memory (only services). Try RT. If works, there is something interfering.

Don't forget to put the links back to Windows\Startup folder.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
This is also one of my must-haves... I love the ROM option! I'll have to try cooking it later. One question... since some parts of the config rely on html, should the default program to open html be iexplore? What parameters? The help file is giving me errors when I try to open it

Maybe have RT not rely on whatever opens html, but use iexplore in the code?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Just did that, left SMSLauncher.exe in there (as its needed for the program?). With this, it seems to catch the SMS but then doesn't do anything about it, it doesn't even try to turn on the GPS, nothing happens.

With the things back in the Startup folder, it tries to get to the GPS, but the same error appears.

Is there a way to see a debug or something, so i can tell you where abouse it gets stuck?

To note, the version on .Net ive got is 3.5.7283.

I've used the net config tool to use 3.5 only for everything related to RT.

Cheers, Mike.

This must be an error with the version of .Net i have, surely?

Other programs that require newer versions of .net show a similar error screen.

Ill have a dig around and try and find out what version of net is pre-installed on your device, then try and install it on mine.

Again to note, the GPS does connect, the logo does go green, there just seems to be a problem in how the software handles it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Arg ... yes, it is true :-(.

I have found that currently you cannot force the Connection Manager to use GPRS. If a better connection is currently available (e. g. LAN) the connection manager will use it.

After googling a while, I thought that I have found a solution.

Please see http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/CompactDynDNS.aspx.

It decribes exactly the problem - with a soultion.

I have tried to implement a class to force the GPRS/3G use, but unfortunaltely I was not successful.

Problem can be solved with CM_Mappings {436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572} and a highter priority.

Although I have added a new CM_Mappings for the requested http-Page, the connection will be done via WiFi :-(.

CM_Mappings can be checked with RapiConfig.

I will check next week again.

Nevertheless, could you please check also ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
It is possible :-).

I have googled a lot and found http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/CompactDynDNS.aspx. This tool makes a DDNS update via a forced GPRS connection.

I have found also that currently you cannot force the Connection Manager to use GPRS. If a better connection is currently available (e. g. LAN) the connection manager will use it.

Nevertheless, the above tool has a solution to force a GPRS connectiom. Unfortunaltey I was not able to "copy" this solution in RT.

Hopefully Jobert will find it :-)

According to the VPN connection:

VPN default port is always 5900.

Yes, I am aware of the WiFi and GPRS connection. I have done my tests always with a disabled WiFi connection, means I got always a real public IP from my provider Vodafone. Im uisg this public IP also for my email-Client Goodlink to get my company emails on my phone.

The bad thing: my provider does not allow a connection to my phone - ping does not work either.

My next try is to do a IP port scan on my public mobile IP. VPN allows also to make connection with other ports. Nevertheless, in case my provider is uisng NAT, I will not have any chance.

Does some one of you tested a ping or VPN conection to your real public IP ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
RT will start with he new command "wip" VPNServer on your mobile, that is not a big deal.

BUT, your provider has to allow a connection to you mobile. My provider does not :-(.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
No, this was not the reason :-). My WiFi woas off and I am using my real public data-GPRS IP.

My provider does not allow a connection :-(.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WatermelonSlim:
Well they have to allow a connection on some ports, otherwise email, ftp, IM, streaming audio/video, etc, would not work.

Your provider just doesn't allow a connection on whatever port that software is trying to use...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
It worked for me. I'm at the same network. The problem will be if someone has your device connected under his network. You will receive an invalid (not routed) IP address.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I will, be sure. This "remote control" is very good. I think this IS the feature everyone need :) You have full control of your device sinse it's connected.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Very strange your provider blocks (or not forward) connections to your device. Can you try using another sim card?

Using your PC open a MSDOS prompt and use the tracert command to your device's IP to see where you are losing the connection.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Exactly, that is the reason why I will do next week a IPPortscan :-).

As far as I know VPNServer will allows port over 5900.

hi

i have a new german language file for you :D

i hope for more features in the future :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
hi!! Long time no see :)

i'm deploying a beta version right now and I'll add your new translation. Thank you.

BTW: I'll release later my plans for version 4. I'm opened for suggestions ;)

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi all. I release beta 3.3 here: http://www.4shared.com/file/87853619/15f4f0ea/RTConfig.html

in this beta there are:

- Bug fixes;

- New German translation;

- Added Kuzko1 code with modifications: the wip and ewip command now are four commands:

- gip - Get the current IP address. If your device has more than one, you will receive all of them. If there is at least one valid IP address, the IP defined by ActiveSync will be ignored. If no IP address exists the command will make a connection (GPRS/EDGE/3G...) and return a valid IP;

- egip - same as GIP but by e-mail;

- vnc - start a vnc server. It works like Kuzko1 implemented, so, download the file here and put the executable (vncserver.exe) in \Program Files\RTConfig folder. THIS IS NOT A FREE SOFTWARE!

- evnc - same as vnc, but the answer will be received by e-mail.

With the gip command you will be able to full control your device remotely using MyMobiler. Amazing free software. I think this IS the feature we need :)

If you decide to try this version, please let me know your results.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
In the 3.2.3 version and some others before that you install the AppToDate to the InstallDir instead to the \Application Data\AppToDate directory.

Or you have to add the registry key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Modaco\AppToDate\XML]

"remotetracker"="%InstallDir%\\remotetracker.xml"

Otherwise the update will present itself time after time even when it's already installed and updated.

Cheerz,

PS can't wait to try out gip, way cool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi again!

I'm here to explain my plans to next full version: 0.4.0-0.

Main application (rt.exe):

New features:

- Feature to hide RT from its original folder. It will remove RT from Remove Programs List and from Programs folder;

- New application to uninstall RT with password protection;

- Turn the screen off while rt is processing a command;

- Create a log of all incoming commands (you will see the log using RTConfig);

- Command to list all applications installed (Start Menu);

- Command to run an application;

- Command to send files to your personal FTP server;

- Commands using WEB! Today the main commands has a twin command started with 'e' letter to give the result to you using an e-mail account. I'll create the same thing with 'w' letter. The command will connect to my website (not yet created) and send the result to this site. So the site will e-mail you if you have an account. This feature will remove A LOT of limitations;

- Command to send files to your personal FTP server;

- Command to retrieve the current cellid;

- Command to retrieve the last 20 Numbers Dialed & Recevied (with time stamp, duration and contact details if availible)

- Command to retrieve the Last 20 SMS Sent & Recevied (with time stamp and contact details if availible)

- Command to lock/unlock your device;

- Command to integrate RT with Mort Script;

- Command to integrate with LiveCast;

- New emergency application. This app will send a lot of information to all of your emergency numbers with one click. This command will also use the web. So you can add e-mails address for emergency as well;

Changes:

- EGP command will attach a map imagem of the position (from google maps);

- GP/EGP command will use also www.celldb.com and OCC local database to get a position when the GPS signal is not available;

- CB command will be changed to active speaker mode as loud as possible;

- Findme command will vibrate and play sound;

RTConfig:

New features:

- Configuration for personal FTP server;

- Configuration for emergency e-mails;

- Option to see the command log;

- Feature to upload the configuration to web.

Changes:

- Accept more emergency numbers.

SMSLauncher:

Changes:

- When someone changes your SIM card, you will receive more than one message. SMSLauncher will start RT with GP, GI and GO commands;

- When started at first time, SMSLauncher search for rt.dll file in several folders. In this version SMSLauncher will search the configuration using the WEB. The IMEI number of the phone will be used as key. In that case ROM Cookers will be able to create generic ROMs with RT inside.

RTRemote:

Changes:

- A new Phone number field will be added. One for Sender and other for the Receipient;

- New options for each new command.

Web site

- Feature to create user accounts;

- Feature to save users IMEI numbers;

- Feature to save users configurations (rt configurations);

- ... a lot more ...

God save my soul :)

For web features the user will be charged unfortunately. I don't know how can I charge yet, so, that feature may be delayed.

Please let me know about your opinions.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Great! Next version will use the registry. More secure ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WatermelonSlim:
I have a feature request...

Would it be possible to make this all in stealth mode so the thief does not know it is happening? For example- when it sends an email, could it be erased from the sent items? And when you are controlling the devoce, could a fake today screen (or whatever) be shown to the thief while you work in the background? I'm just thinking if a thoef has my phone and he sees me accessing it, he's likely to smash it to bits before I can recover it. Of course, in some instances it may be nice to let the thief know you have access so he should just return it.

Also- instead of connecting to your web site, could we possibly have it connect to our own? That way you don't have to worry about all the bandwidth and hosting charges. I would rather just install something on my own personal web server at home and have it connect to that...

I haven't installed this yet, but I am following this thread. I probably will install it next time I flash a ROM. But I do have to compliment you all on your great work. Just reading this thread, it sounds like a killer app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meth0dGSX:
wow i look forward to ver 4 :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi,

I tried a lot. I could not find a way do erase a message. RT already run in stealth mode. But not a PERFECT stealth mode :) I'll try to go deep in this feature.

Maybe, but we will have the same issue: how to set your own website in generic ROMs?

RT is hardreset safe but you need to cook your own ROM. I'm trying to create a feature to make it hardreset safe using generic ROMs.

Thank you :)

Hi Joubert,

I have tested 3.3, but unfortunaltely my piblic IP is not shown.

My mobile is connected via ActiveSync and WiFi (LAN).

As expected the AtiveSync IP is dropped and my WiFi-Ip is shonw, but unfortunaltely the public IP is not seen.

RT does alos not create data-connection via GPRS.

BTW:

I am still working also on this problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kasjopaja:

can you make a command for a cam screenshot ?

and the device send the picture via email...or upload to a ftp server

and for youre RT remote

a short help text under the pull down menue for every command....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
the problem is that there is no common way to access the camera in all phones! Some pages ago we tried some other programs that take pictures but none worked on every device we tried :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Your right about that, people that steal phones have a tendency of not being Tech Savy at all. Maybe making a service out of the SMS Launcher would also make it harder for non Techs to disable Remote Tracker. (or try to make it start through HKML\Init.

I'm not a programmer so i'm not able to help in that area so i just throw up ideas.

Reason i brought it up is that for the very few that use my Kitchen or Roms, i cook in all apps with full AppToDate Support so they still have the benefit to get the latest updates (and off course it makes it easier for me to know when to update my kitchen:D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi!

I just released version 0.3.3-1. I FINALLY fixed the rt.dll load problem. Now RTConfig load a little bit faster too.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
As Net-spider told you, I can't do that because WM6.1 does not have an API to use the camera and each manufacturer made their own DLL without any rule. Some new phones have a new thing called gsensor. Devices with gsensor can take pictures. But using only the rear camera... Useless.

That's good! I'll write it.

Thanks for the app :).

EDIT: tried again the earlier version 0.3.2-0, it's working with this one ;)
