Bob, congratulations!

Glad that it worked for you.

@Joubert

While talking about this program with my colleague, I realised that in order for this to work even after a hard reset, this program need to be cooked into a rom.

One can cooked it into a rom only when the settings are already configured. If it is just a fresh install (without the configuration set up), there won't be any email to work with, likewise the emergency phone number will not be set. Perhaps you can use commands without the "e", but definitely not those commands such as elt, epb, ehelp etc... Without any email settings, the program will throw you an error.

As such to prepare a rom cooking, all the configurations must be set first. Am I correct? Or am I making sense? :D

By the way, there is a program called trace-me available at www.traceme.org that is about the same as the command elt. Perhaps you can take a look at the interesting application?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
You are right. I did a tool to be used in PC called RTRegCreate. With this tool you can create all of yours configurations and make a file called rt.dll. This dll has your configuration.

ROM cookers can add this dll together with rt.exe and MUST create a link to SMSLauncher in startup folder. At first boot smslauncher will be started, open rt.dll and configure remotetracker.

The e-mail account is useless in this case. I'll try for next version create your e-mail account configuration too.

I know a few guys creating custom roms with rt inside. But, of course, it's not for all phones.

Boge (from etenusers) made a tool to make this work easier.

Of course I do! Thanks the hint.

Cheers,

Joubert

For those of you who are having the problem with the help file, with some strange certificate errors and PIE opening when you start RTconfig, the problem lies with having the default program that opens html set to something besides PIE (Opera 9.5, perhaps)

To fix this, use schap's Advanced Config tool to set .htm and .html files to be opened by

iexplore.exe file: %1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] g00ndu:
Likely to be Opera, as I have never run Opera b4 in my device, and hence there wasn't any security issue on this.

Thanks for the tip. :)

CDMA VERSION!!

i protest :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
Very likely the cause since I have opera 9.50with default browser cab installed. When it worked before it was after a hard reset and before I loaded Opera.

Thanks fthe tip.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
Easy there turbo

This version works for CDMA, just not the SIM card detection, or contacts wipe. At least I don't think the contacts wipe works... haven't wanted to try that puppy out yet
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
Well I can confirm that this was the problem. I used Schaps Advanced config and changed the htm & html file associations to iexplorer.exe and loaded the old version 10c and it opened without error. now I have loaded back the new version 10f. It is good to know where the problem was from I knew it had to be something I had that gOOndu did not since we had the same device.

Good find xd1936
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
:)

I don't have how test in CDMA phones. Did you try? What happened? Only SIM features should not work.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thank you very much! I edited first post to add your tip :)

Who use Opera could explain this situation to Opera developers.

Cheers,

im about to re-read the thread and get this loaded! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi all! I release version 10g. I finally got the problem with SMSLauncher when your device ask for PIN code.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
All Hail This Guy! Awesome, thanks man! Cooking it into my ROM as I type...

Just an idea, perhaps instead of the mailing list idea, you could have it check for updates once every week, or 2 weeks, or user defined, and have it go to the default email account, just like an email command? Just a thought
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
I think the wya you use your sourceforge (by updating the file, rather than making a new release each time) means that people wont be able to use it as a mailing system effectively.

As xd1936 just suggested, using the defult response email would be a good way to notify users.

On startup, check for version, compare that version with string in registry, if newer, send email to <d e-mail>, if not, ignore?

Maybe this is just my poor attempt at solving a solution :)

You wouldnt be able to build it into the SMS launcher, as it would considerably slow down the SIM change reaction time, and you wouldnt be able to build it into the config application, as not everyone would open it regularly.

Mike.

Just a thought, but could you not build a PC installer for it, and have it run a program every week or something to check for a newer version (if your device is connected) - then if so, have a box with the details of the new version in it, or something like this?

Don't know if this would be a viable solution or not?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
But if it checks it every time you start RTConfig, that ruins the covertness of it! Have SMSLauncher do it every week or something, and make it an option in RTConfig, would be a better solution ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
I have a request, when releasing a new version please specify if we need to uninstall the old version and load the new cab plus RTTest.exe or if we need only RTTest.exe.

I'm not sure what you need with this release.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] g00ndu:
Forget about RTTest. Just download the RTConfig.cab from the site and install. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Mike1002 and xd1936: I like both idea: make SMSLauncher verify new version and send by e-mail and make a pc tool for it.

Version 0.11 will have a solution, I promise.

About sourceforge usage, if I create a new release structure every time I release a new version I will have A LOT of releases opened. I can't delete old releases. And because of this I edit the last one every time a new bug fix version is out (with letters).

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'll modify my structure of releases soon. But now, when a new version was released, just download RTConfig.cab (and source if you want).

I don't know why sourceforge put rttest.zip in first place if I set rtconfig.cab to this position. I asked for help but no answer yet.

For version 11 I'm thinking to kill rttest. I'm thinking about something better.

If in my house I have two WM smartphones and I lost one of them, I will use the other one to find the missed one. So, why I need to type SMS with complicated commands? I will make a Remote Control for Remote Tracker :D

This tool will send SMS for us if we want to find a missed phone or call rt.exe if we want to test RT using the same device.

What do you think guys?

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
Thanks for your reply. I agree a remote client you could load on any device which would have all the commands in a words description and we just select from a drop down list. It is hard to remember all of these commands especially if you don't use them for a while.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Same, think its a good idea to create a control for it.

Will this "client" be able to be run on the same device though, used to test the functions still?

Glad youre looking into an update solution :)

Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] g00ndu:
This works provided if one has 2 wm phones.

It is still okay to use the good old fashion way of typing out the command. It is not that difficult to remember.

Anyone had tried the command with Vito Audio Notes installed yet? :D

Does it work with capturing all the incoming and outgoing calls? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yes, the idea is write one tool for two uses: test RT without any sms and controle RT remotely by sms, but without text commands.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
You know since we are thinking about this. It might also be good to have a Win XP program to do this as well. I could keep this on my thumb drive, and could get to a desktop computer or internet cafe fast if I lost my phone. Another possible option would be something on your site where a client could login and send a command from a app on your website.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
No, this new tools will works like rttest if you have only one phone.

BTW, if you send rt# or rt#help you will receive the list of commands ;)

I hope so :) Worked for me. But, as before, it may not work for others because phone and software versions diferences.

In version 11 I'll make some modifications in these commands. The zip file may be very large. I'll try to make a way to get only one file, a group of files or all of them.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
This is a plus. I cannot make something like that without a price because I'll have to pay for services.

My idea is keep RT free, but without online tracking, and make another version with online services, but with a small charge.

It is not definitive, but I'm not getting donations that could pay these investments.

I was invited to make a custom RT version for a large brazilian company and may be this version can pay for more implementations for free ;)

Cheers,

Joubert

EDIT: I have another idea: if other developer has the structure for this and want to develop this feature for free, I can support him! The invitation is open!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
I like the remote idea! I am the only WinMob device in my household, however, so the same-device setup sounds good.

Congrats on the company notice though Joubert!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
Don't worry they will come. I will send some as soon as my paypal account gets it's sending limit lifted. Dificult here in Thailand.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Don't worry with donations. I'm not writting RT to become rich :) I have a lot of fun with this and I'm learning a lot. Everything I'm learning, I'll use in comercials apps in future.

But, I cannot invest money without return.

Once again, the invitation is opened for who want to make this feature for free, with my support.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thank's! :D

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] g00ndu:
I will donate soon, give me a bit of time. :)

We know you are doing it for the sake of knowledge and learning. I'm also glad to be part of your testing team. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
I have my own website and I have a pretty big bandwidth account as I have had the Guinness World Record for the world's largest hamburger so my site gets a lot of traffic. I don't know how much would be needed but the app itself I don't think would be too much. I will have to consult with my hosting guy to inquire about subdomains etc. I know my config panel has many options for redirecting subdomains and aliases etc. I maybe willing to host the online application if possible and you are willing to either help me or my hosting guy set it up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
The server I imagine must be ok with the scenery:

- Will receive A LOT of connections;

- Must work with PHP, ASP or JAVA (PHP is better for me);

- Must answer for WebServices;

- Must have some database engine (mysql, postgresql, oracle, etc).

But it's not enough. I have to think how the server will connect to device. If SMS will be used, it means I have to contact all network providers in the world for contracts. Out of question...

So, or I make a service for device "listen" the server, or I make the device ask the server from time to time. Both options request a permanent connection to internet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTC-Master:
A web counterpart I would be great for this project.

Server settings would not be much of a trouble.

We can always be of help here.

It is going to be commercial? It could be.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'll create a commercial version with this feature, but in the future. For now, I'll support who want to make it for free.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsbbq:
I'm not sure I follow where you want to go with this. What I had in mind would be a portal or remote RTTest application hosted on a site. When a user needs to use it they can login and use the commands to send to the device either by email or sms. The return will go back to their predetermined number or email. This would only require an internet connection when used. The clients can register in advance as to save time on login when needed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
If you want to send commands from a portal to any device it means this portal is able to send SMS. Each network provider has their own rules. Will be very dificult because the large number of providers in the world.

Thinking better, you can access your netword provider portal and send SMS to your phone. If your destinator e-mail account can be accessed using a browser, like gmail, nothing else is needed. You can control your device using internet at your home, cybercoffee or any other internet connection.

I was thinking in something deep. But thinking again, I'm not sure if it is really needed.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I made a test using web sms. Didn't work because my network provider send the message with 'web: ' before the message: 'web: rt#egp (send by: nonono)'

So, I made version 0.10h and now we can send web sms to our phones :) It worked very well.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
I guess this vesion just searches a message and if it contains the command than do it, rather than if it just begins with it, correct?

Cheers, Mike.

BTW - i just got an email from soruceforge saying that youd updated the version, when youd just changed the letter proceeding the build #, so thats not so bad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Northernmost:
With talk of some kind of web integration I wonder if it would be feasible to have a mechanism where RT, after a hard reset, could contact a web server and download your config.

RT would obviously need to be cooked into the ROM, you'd need a way to post your config to the server and RT would need a way to make sure it downloads the right one ;) For the latter you could use the devices IMEI number for the request (e.g. http://remotetracker.com/getconfig.php?id=<deviceIMEI>) as, IIRC, it is unique (and never changes) to each device.

For security the config data could be the dll produced by the desktop app. This would need to be encrypted and tied to the devices IMEI number - so, if the IMEI stored in the dll doesn't match the device IMEI, it won't load it. Just a thought.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yup! The only change in this version is exactly that.

When I release a version I have to click in a button to notify users... Not so automatic at all...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I already thought about it. But if I have to put the RT in ROM, just put the file rt.dll in the same folder and a shortcut to the SMSLauncher in startup. The result is the same, but without cost. The problem is if you change your SIM. You will need to reflash your device.

The user Boge from www.eten-users.eu made an application to make this step easier. His software has great success in this feature. Please take a look: http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=14946

I know he is working only for ETEN devices at this time, but the idea can be write for others one.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
New version with AppToDate integration!!!

Hello all! Once again, another release :rolleyes:

This release has a few modifications. In first place there is a greek translation. Thanks to drageloth from www.eten-users.eu.

The second one is an integration with AppToDate. This application verify if configured softwares are up to date or not. If not, you are alerted and invited to download the new version! Very cool and useful.

You can download AppToDate here: http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267096/download-apptodate-supported-applications/

After install AppToDate, please download V0.10i and run RTConfig or softreset your device to RT make the configure AppToDate.

Try this! Don't forget a new RT version never more :D

I have to thank several people here on this point, but the first to give me the suggestion to use this application was the Northernmost. Thank you!

The third news is a correction into Sourceforge package configuration. I was using Sourceforge in a wrong way. Now the Download link will work correctly.

For those was monitoring the old package, please set this configuration again.

Now I'll start version 0.11 (or 0.2, not sure). I'll let you in peace for some time :p

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Program has came such a long way, id think it deserves a .2 version number :)

i just used google maps with cellular positioning and it works pretty good. i have built in gps but thought maybe there could be something where it gets both or if gps cant get signal then you go to cellular, just a thought
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi!

I just started next version. At this point I'm making a lot of internal modifications.

With this modifications I'll be able to create a version for non touch screens devices (smartphones) and the remote control (also for non touch screens).

I'll need beta testers. Someone has interest?

Cheers,

how is the remote control going to work?

will it work on a PC, or another PPC?

thanks for the info.

Cheers mate, Mike.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hazeline:
Nice programme!!

Thx, for the programme, i love it. haha family member recently lost her phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thank you guys! As soon as I have first previous version I put it in rapidshare. ;)

Mike, RemoteControl will work like RTTest, but sending SMS to other phone.

Hazeline, I'm so sorry! This is exactly what I want to avoid :(

Agcolella, be welcome!

Some of you has a non touch device? This will be the major news.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi guys, another version: 0.10j. This version includes Danish translation.

(this is not the beta version).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mike1002:
Dont have a non-touchscreen device, sorry. :(

Mike.

Thanks for clearing up the issues with the remote control though :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kasjopaja:
wow i love the new update funktion :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cafrey:
Hey Joubert!

Man, this is the best software ever!!

I would really like to congratulate and thank you for all your job.

It is working perfectly on my HTC TyTN II.

I mean, only one thing didn't work, I don't know why, but when it should send me an e-mail with the KMZ file, instead of my e-mail address was there my phone number. So the e-mail stayed in the outbox. I had to change the "To" field to my e-mail address.

But everything else worked perfectly fine! :)

I like your dedication to make a free software, listening to others opinions and upgrading RT. I read the whole topic and I see how much it has improved.

And you are brazilian, right? Me too, and it's nice to know that someone from my country realises such a great job!!

Once again, congratulations!! Keep that effort and you go much further.

I'll be happy to help when you need testers (but I don't have a non-touchscreen at the moment :p)

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thank you very much :) I am happy that you enjoyed!

Please verify the value of the field 'Default destinator e-mail' in E-Mail tab. I'll try elt command again, but the address used to send the file is configured in this field. Or, you can send the address as parameter in elt command: rt#elt#some@address.com#password. How did you use this command?

RemoteTracker gives me much more than knowledge. I really happy to do so and receive as a reward this return from all of you. My stress of regular work decrease significantly when I begin to implement anything in that software.

This is my first world class application. I did not realize the success that would be. I found sites talking about it in several languages, including Japanese and Arabic :)

BTW, RemoteTracker is only 20% done! My TODO list is very large ;)

You are a brazilian like me and you know the difficulty of getting anything done well here with the lack of support we have. But that is another matter :)

I will need every support I can receive, since this application works in heterogeneous scenario and it is difficult to find all the problems.

Thank you very much its offer.

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I have to thank you for this suggestion ;)

Is it possible to change the way the mail gets sent... Instead of relying on an Outlook Account, to have it directly connect to an SMTP server and send the message?

Also, some people will be using Flexmail, or other application to handle mail, instead of Pocket Outlook. And it would be more universal to have it send via SMTP direct connection... Just a thought for a future version or update.

HTC Touch Diamond:

Installed the 10j version.

Danish tranlation is excelent :)

It work great, just great. No problems with the GPS (really fast btw) , Reset, Alarm, Findme - all i tested for now.. Tommorow the Sim card change :)

Ive noticed a little annoying thing.. When i soft-reset my phone, nothing happens.. I do not get to type my PIN-code nor does TouchFlow3D start, and the phone is REALLY slow.. pushing the start button to see the menu takes 5-6 seconds

i found 2 workarounds:

1: Uninstall the program and wupti the phone runs like normal again.

2: Push Start - Phone - Type PIN CODE and phone runs like normal again.

.. Dont know if this happends on other Diamonds too? Or other phones?

ROM: SwiftBL v.3.2 (Some cooked thing)

Radio: .05

I can live with "option 2" for now :) just in case some new Diamond users has the same problem, this works for me as a small workaround

All in all - I LOVE IT ! <3 Its just perfect - now my brother does not have to call and ask where i am :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrtnld:
Alarm command without password ?

I wonder why one of the latest changes made the Alarm command not require password.

If you have already "shared" the FindMe command with friends, when they could have fun sending you the Alarm command in the middle of the night.

If you can't find your phone, you should anyway know the password.

Great work :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I have to learn how to do this, but it's a good idea. Another users asked for it already and I added this to my TODO list.

Thank's :)

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
SMSLauncher is very slow when it does not find your SIM card. I'm working to solve this. My "sleeping" feature is not good enought :( I have to find a better way to make SMSLauncher waits a few seconds before verify again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I didn't think about it... :( You are right. I'll take password back for alarm command, or create a new option.
