[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
You need to either get a hold of whoever you bought it from or there's not going to be anything that anyone can do about it because whoever sold you the phone waited for 3 months after you got it and then they reported it stolen and the reason they do that sh¡t is because they'll be given another phone for free usually or a small fee and then they'll turn around and do the same thing all over again! That's why you don't buy from people unless they're willing to meet you in the carriers local store that way they'll know for sure that you bought it and the person won't be able to do that.. If you can't get your money back or find the person you bought it from then you'll have to accept it as a lesson learned and don't do that again..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
there are a great deal of sites that can fix a blacklisted IMEI for a fee. Usually around $35 to $50 or so. The blacklist fix does work when obtained from reputable sites. Double edged sword there tho, youre needing a "reputable" site to do "not reputable" stuff for you.

some of what you said is right. Always get the IMEI from the seller and check it yourself. Do not believe what the seller tells you. Its actually very fast and easy to check for blacklisting. Even at the time of purchase, boot up the phone and triple check the IMEI and once youve done that and purchased the phone, thats pretty much all you can do. Also make sure that its not currently attached to an account. And when you buy it, you can dial the *86 (i think thats the star key combo to get customer service) and verify that the phone doesnt have a balance on it. Of course, all of this is best if done in person for obvious reasons.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] MrMike2182:
Yeah I understand the IMEI thing but the IMEI will come back clear in the beginning because the person who sold the phone didn't report it stolen right away they purposely wait 3 months that way whoever they sold it to is long gone and can't prove they bought it from them so it gets black listed and then the seller gets a new phone and the buyer has a paperweight if they can't get it off the blacklist.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
reason #732,155,289,001,914 why i hate humans detailed in this gentleman's post above. Unscrupulous people trying to pawn their bullshyte off on other people for their own gain and waiting 3 months to intentionally f*ck a person out of their hard earned money by putting a phone up on offer and letting a person buy it in good faith and letting them use it happily for 3 months then eff the buyer right in the a by reporting it stolen for their own pathetic gain
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mr. JAVI:
I was totally unaware that this could happen.

Thanks for the valuable information. If you all could be so kind to give me your opinion. I was considering buying a phone from ebay advanced as having a. clean IMEI with 30 day free returns. Therfore, am I correct in assuming that the prof of purchase from PayPal and ebay will prevent a seller from blacklisting imy phone in the future? Will, the carrier accept this as prof of ownership? Thank you.

Ps. Sorry to here about your phone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jassi_1975:
TMC ist a nice thing for navigation-software to react automaticly on current traffic-situations. Most of the software products use this feature.

For this a TMC-receiver must be implemented in the GPS-receiver. The Trinity and other likely PDA´s have it not. :(

Now my idea - or a simple question:

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

It must be possible to receive data of the current traffic over the i-net over GPRS/UMTS or maybe per SMS. A download in the office or at home over WLAN should be possible to.

Theoreticaly this data can be used for programming a "software-TMC". This could be realise the using of different data-sources for every navigation-software.

I think about using or re-programming the software-com-port in WM5 or higher (start/settings/system/extern gps) which maps the hardware-port com2: to GPD1: by default (other combinations are possible!)

The Point is now:

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

How to integrate the traffic-data into the data-stream of the software-com-port GPD1: (or any equivalent port)

This is only an idea...

Oh yes, before i forget:

Answers contents "Who wants this?", "Using of TMC is free and mobile-internet cost money!" are not wanted. Please forgive, but thats not what i want to hear. I know this fact!

But the using of mobile-internet becomes more cheaper and many users have mobile-data-flatrates or volume-packages! Mobile-Internet is growing more and more!

PS:please forgive my maybe "strange" englisch, but I write text in englisch not very often!

pps:maybe that there exists an software that could do the thing I wanted, but I searched in many forums and search-engines - nothing found...

Route 66 Navigate 7 or 8 and TomTom does just that.

In Route 66 Navigate 7 it's free of charge, in Version 8 and all TomTom Versions it's not.

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jassi_1975:
That´s the point !

I use iGO. This and many other navigation-software has tmc implemented. Using of TMC is free.

I knew the feature of TomTom. TomTom go its own way in providing traffic-information by money. Route66 and Navigate are not my way - I personaly favorite iGO or navigon.

And: I don´t want to change my navi-software.

My endeavor is to use every traffic-information with every software for free!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 3waygeek:
You sure about Route 66? I've been using Route 66 Navigate 7 for several years, and I could never get traffic to work. I ended up switching to CoPilot Live 7.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] obermuem:
Besides the programming of the tool as such I'd expect you'll run into the following issues:

- locate a TMC server that provides the regarding Data for free. Myself I don't use it but I presume e.g. the Route66-Server at least requires a login and that might could be locked to owning the software. TMC-Pro normally is NOT for free!

Alternatively you maybe could grab the Data from a free Traffic Server from HTML, but those normaly don't provide TMC-Pro Data, only the stuff officially announced on the Radio (the "ordinary", free TMC data; at least it is like that in Germany) and hence are not really very useful.

- reprogramming/hacking of the regarding Routing Software so it accepts the Data from a Com-Port or anything. At least the commercial Programs hardly are free so I'd presume you'd need to hack it - and that is illegal, anyway.

I'm not aware of any routing Software provided under the GPL, but maybe I'm mistaken there.

Hence I think this is gonna be a very difficult task, though I definitely like the idea! :)

Cheers,

Markus.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nother:
Hi, i think the idea is very cool...

I use TomTom 6.032 with my HTC Touch Cruise...

keep on working!

I will subscribe to this thread.

have fun
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Christian72D:
Sorry, but you can not use TMC with TomTom...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HobGoblin2006:
But with Igo an Navigon, so it would be real a great thing,

when we were able to download the tmc data.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] obermuem:
That is not exactly correct.

While you can't use a TMC receiver with Tomtom their online Traffic Service provides just those data.

If I got it correctly that's just the bit Jassi_1975 wants to be replaced by a free of charge alternative.

Cheers,

Markus.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] henk-jan:
Using Navigon I'm very interested aswell. Before Navigon I had Alturion and it worked great. Since Alturion stopped marketing I miss it. Navigon has the option TMC it only doesn't work with GPRS, just with a BT mouse. Having a Kaiser I find it ridiculous buying an extra BT mouse only for TMC (I have a flat free GPRS abo). Being a noob I have to rely on the experts on the forum, so please have a look
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] btje:
The idea is great.

I had this idee a while ago but aint that good programmer.

My idea wat to use a website in the NL (where I live) and get traffic data from that,

store it on your device in a file, next emulate a TMC port for fo rinstance igo and you dont have to hack the program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jassi_1975:
That´s right, there are some services in html from where we could free collect the traffic-informations. Maybe it´s usefull to plan an "ONLINE-Collector" or so ...

But think about:

http://www.verkehrsinfos.de

http://mobil.verkehrsinfos.de

I don´t want to reprogramm/hack any Routing Software - I want to reprogramm (or hack) the given "port-switching" in Windows-Mobile!

So ANY Software which uses TMC can use ANY provided traffic-information. Ok any information we can collect.

This is what I want - the local-data-file is needed, sure
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bedoig:
Great idea! There are plenty of free sites with traffic info available, so if you can get this to work it would be awesome. I'd love to test it if you ever get it going. Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HobGoblin2006:
When you think further, it would be possible, that the programm runs in backround an updates every 5 Minutes, perhabs, so you would be able to have the latest traffic messages on your device!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] noellenchris:
I was looking for the same thing as I used MIO Map. I gave up and now I'm using Garmin Mobile XT which uses I-net and downloads realtime traffic. I don't have any idea how it does it though. Hopefully someone can come up with a solution!

Chris
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HobGoblin2006:
I don't thing that this is really a big problem to make, the only programm is to someone to do this!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] damac:
Add me on to the list of people wanting this solution. My personal favourite navigation software is IGo, and ONLY reason I sometimes switch over to TomTom is because I have traffic subscription and it works. If it works with IGo, it would be bye-bye TomTom.

If someone comes up with a solution, i'm willing to donate/pay for it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lastnikita:
same here, if it's worldwide :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HobGoblin2006:
i will also donate round about 10$ , what about you other guys?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
Some devices have built in FM Radio with RDS. Why not use this feature for traffic info?

greetings
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jassi_1975:
But many has no FM... ;)

So long - so good ...

Now I´m searching technical references etc....

I need some information

-about the structures of TMC/RDS

-traffic-databases on the web

-dvk for virtual-com-port

I found some tools to check the generated rds-Data on a windows-pc.

This could be the plot:

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

-programming a rds-generator with output to virt. com-port

(this is easier then to integrate the data into the gps-stream/com-port

because most of the navi-software can receive rds/tmc-data on another port then the gps)

-generate sample-data-streams and test it with given navi-soft

-collect data-information-sites

(where can i get traffic-data and how can it extracted)

-automatically download and "streaming" on virt-com

If somebody wants to help - feel free to contact! ;)

I´m new in programming on windows-mobile, but I done programming on many systems!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sorcer1:
it's a very interesting project !

i'm new too on windows mobile system but i'm an expert in .net (winforms & webforms).

so i will try to found some informations about tmc data !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NeoS:
Hmm. Very interesting.

two points:

1. I have seen some websites with Google Maps with their own POI's. For instance, a McDonalds with all MC's in the neighbourhood.

This could work for mobile Gmaps too.

2. I have a Polaris with a mobile data service. Polaris has Radio with RDS, so i can swing both ways with this. I'm tagging this thread. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SaBo:
You will never get this working as you won't be able to find TMC data anywhere on the web.

TMC data contains location and event codes which are used to place the incident on the map and tell your software whether it is on your way or not and what's the occasion.

Those location codes are nowhere near being available.

The only possibility would be to hack Route 66 or TomTom servers.

However I would suspect that they use their own location and incident codes and not the standardised TMC ones.

So in short:

- either buy a navigation software which supports download of traffic data over GPRS/UMTS

- or buy a TMC receptor for using with your current software

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jassi_1975:
Ok i found the folowing:

look at map24 : http://devnet.map24.com/map24webservices/map24trafficinfo/gettrafficinfos

and here could be a data-source for the aereo-codes for germany :

http://www.bast.de/nn_42544/DE/Aufgaben/abteilung-v/referat-v2/Location-Code-List/location-code-list-start.html

(there should be other sources for other aereas - if need it - we can get it!)

I keep searching on...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SaBo:
I know that the location and event codes are available.

The tool TMCview at navifriends.com uses them for instance.

However you won't be able to download TMC data including those codes from the web.

Traffic data available online does not contain them.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
has anyone found out how to do this yet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jassi_1975:
Ok, I had much to work last week, so I can´t spent much time with this project.

But Sascha has right, I´m at the point to find the correct traffic-data including the location-codes. Its nearly impossible without an own online-database to do this project working.

The only way is to contact some institutions like "TeleAtlas" "map24" or so. Maybe they could offer the traffic-information including the location-codes. But I think they will never do it for free...

Sorry, but all I can say about this idea is, that it was born-dead.

If anybody think not so and see some possibilities - write it down here.

Hi to all

For TomTom was DecoRds ; a little complicated but works

Bye to all

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jassi_1975:
This soft extract the received TMC (RDS) - Signal from a TMC-Receiver. So the codes are given and can be converted with the geo-coding-tables to "clear-text" or codes for the TomTom.

This is not our way...

I´m thinking about a TMC-gateway - mean if anybody has an RDS-Radio (TMC-receiver) connected to a Home-PC/-Server. The RDS-Signal could be received, converted an uploaded to a internet-database. With such a database, the project could go on...

But this will never be a free service, I think.

Jassi
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fab0123:
Hello all,

I have a separate GNS TMC receiver from my previous PDA (Mio P550).

As the mini usb plug is the same on my HTC Polaris, I would like to use the GNS with it but ... no go!

No detection of TMC hardware by the GPS software.

I read earlier on this forum that the Polaris does not have/support TMC but... as the GNS has a built-in TMC hardware, is there a way to set the polaris up with the right com port and so let it work?

Thanks for help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SaBo:
Polaris does not feature USB host mode, so you cannot connect any USB device to Polaris.

Therefore there is no COM port associated to Polaris' miniUSB port.

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BrutusNL:
Recently I tried iGo8. This supports TMC. Searching for a TMC device through the software crashed my e-ten M700 though. I found the solution by Googlin', saying that you should add the following to the sys.txt (there are 2; one in main memory and one on the memory card):

Now, it worked! Even without headphone plugged in, it worked. Plugging headphones in is almost a necessity because of poor reception without it. Bottom line is that I got to see TMC information in iGo, just by adding the above lines to sys.txt
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SaBo:
E-Ten devices feature TMC receptor, HTC don't.

So what's your point now?

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NeoS:
So, until someone rips the TMC data from RDS, converts it to GPS data, uploads it to a server, writes an app which would read the gps data and converts it to POI's, this project is doomed.

Am I correct?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SaBo:
Why would you want to convert TMC data to GPS data?

And why then convert to useless POI data?

One would need TMC data on a server with remote access and then a TMC emulator on device to send this data to navigation application as if there were a TMC hardware connected to the device.

Sascha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] motocrossmann:
This is a great idea! I like IGO 8, but TMC is the only way to get traffic data, no options for GPRS. With my Kaiser, I have no TMC radio and don't want to buy one. The simple option would be to do this!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GJAman:
Great idea! I would use it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bazzix:
It's only bummer that there needs to be a webserver or whatever running to make the information available and the client should be asking for information every x minutes or whatever. There will be delay on the information, and I don't know if this is very useful in traffic situations. We would also need a server in every country (at least) which has access to the RDS tmc data and which will send it to the webserver.

also, it would be very inefficient to send out all information for all the countries you're currently not in. An intelligent way to find out which country to poll for by the client software on the phone would for example be to get the current GSM provider information.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] whistler-nl:
Allso keep in mind the traffic information some company's provide are licenced. You are not allowed to use it yourself to provide this data to any other person. Just the legal part of the topic. Maybe it can be done technically but it would be illegal if you used data from tomtom for instance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bazzix:
tmc broadcasted over the radio signals is for free and i don't know if they would make fuss about retransmitting some data that is already there through another medium. of course no money should be involved in this case.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SaBo:
Just because information is available for free doesn't mean it can be redistributed free of charge.

Sascha

Ok I was able disable the OK google and it only listen when I press the mic icon. Now no matter what I do in the google app settings it's always listening. My only current option is to disable microphone permissions which isn't what I want since I can't press the mic icon and speak.

I had it setup on the note8 with android 9 to only listen when the mic icon is pressed. Got the note 9 did the same settings and it still responds when I say OK or hey google.

Currently have the microphone permissions disabled since my phone does NOT need to listen all the time. Is there a setting I am missing?

That's odd - it's definitely off on mine, but I can't find where I deactivated it!

But 'OK Google' doesn't work anywhere on my Note 9 (did this to save battery and because I have a Google Home & Mini).

EDIT: And I do have the Google App installed.
