[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] From0toHero:
Lol i own the mobile max 2 weeks. In this two weeks i watched videos. I used whatsapp for texting (maybe 2-3 phone calls). I used a video player to watch download videos, but i used nothing that would have left the display on for a long time with the proximity sensor working. I used the phone more for media, because i still own my iPhone 11 pro max for phone calls and alike. Hence i can’t explain why this is happening. I’m the first one who would say yeah i used the apps you mentioned on high brightness all the time, but that’s not the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] From0toHero:
Btw your sarcastic questions are unnecessary. If you think your clever and everyone else is a moron, nice for you. But the Note 20 Ultra is not my first mobile, and i know what to avoid, and what to do in most cases. But when i get the same issue two times in less than 2 weeks without doing anything maybe causing this, i think it’s ok to ask if anyone else is having the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I can respond however I wish.

Now going back to your question, is the attached what you are talking about ?

Yeah every n20u has it. Some people just don't have the eyes to see it or choose not to / conditioned to ignore it.

I can see it on demand but I forgot it was even there till this thread. No way around it, it's a design flaw of this generation.

My n10+ isn't visible unless it's being used but what can we do, Nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
My US Note 20 Ultra has that as well. I didn't notice it for 3 months, then there it was. It is from the proximity sensor, and it's only visible in dark environments, and on days when I've had long calls. Other times, it's not visible at all and I'm guessing the sensor is under the screen and that the visible flashing causes it to slightly offset the AMOLED pixels. Every Note 20 Ultra I've seen also has image retention issue (not to the point of burn in) but high contrast images fade off the screen for about 5-10 seconds and this is only visible on gray backgrounds. Looking for a "perfect" one may be a waste of time.

how does this really work. i have completely understand the concept or idea
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello honnt!

That error does not look good. could you give me a bit more information? For example which device you're using etc?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello VOODOOS!L!

No, atm uTrack does not support a offline upload function. The idea behind uTrack is that when GPS activity is detected, the device tries to publish its position to the configured URL.

This is the core concept behind uTrack and ensures that the application stays lightweight.

One enhancement i read from you're question is to monitor network activity and only send the information when there is one.

Hi,

How often does the Tool publish the GPS-Information? Once when the GPS is started or frequently (like every 5 min.)?

I didn't try it yet, but it looks great.

Cell ID based location tracking

Hi,

I am kind of into a project which is "Cell ID based location tracking" for Windows Mobile 5 & 6 devices (both pocket pc & smartphone).

In development I used RIL to get the Cell ID & other tower details.

The problem I am facing now is getting it signed for distribution.

Mobile2Market (M2M) - Seems like the RIL is under undocumented API so Microsoft won't be signing it

Network Operators (Verizon etc.,) - Since the product involves RIL, would they hesitate to have it signed?

1. Is there any other API (documented) which I can use to get Cell ID details

or

2. Will the leading operators be interested in signing the application which uses RIL

I'm sorry to ask you too many questions in the first post... but I am facing a critical issue.

Thanks in advance,

Senthil
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
At the moment uTrack publishes the information each minute (but only when the GPS is active).

In a future version this interval will become configurable.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fc959:
Hi, this tool looks really great - could you explain how to configure the webserver?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello fc959,

I use the following steps in my scripts:

- Add a page to your webserver.

- In this page, check the deviceid (or some kind of magic or other authentication mechanism if the publication is allowed.

- If so, process the lat, long, time and id values that are transmitted in the GET request.

- Write the values to the database.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fc959:
Thanks ddookie.

I've tested the app with my settings and the test url works. However how do configurenthe intermediate driver to work with tomtom?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello,

The GPS Intermediate Driver is available on Windows Mobile 5 and higher:

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/06/07/620387.aspx

I know that some hardware OEM providers have it disabled, but if there is a GPS icon on the settings->Connection window, the GPS Intermediate Driver is enabled.

To use the GPS Intermediate Driver with TomTom is nothing more than use the GPS Intermediate Driver assigned COM port in TomTom. The idea behind the GPSID is that multiple applications can use the same GPS hardware, so the driver uses some kind of complex multiplexing mechanism.

Greetings,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fc959:
yes I do have it installed but am not sure about the config though.

program port set to com0 (as per tomtom connection settings)

which port should be set for the hardware tab?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fc959:
ok I've tried setting various com ports in the external gps settings but still no luck...

ddookie, would you ming writing up a very quick bullet point guide for the settings?

I know I'm almost there !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xdaradar:
try it the other way around.

hardware tab should be the com port you used to use. so com0:

set programport to com4

and use this com4 in both tomtom and utrack

warning:

There's very few software availalbe that is able to fireup the bluetooth connection through this gps intermediate driver. The only two i know of are Oziexplorer an TrackMe. And not tomtom! Tomtom waits forever to get a connection, what i used to do is startup oziexplorer or TrackMe, then tomtom and stop ozi afterwards.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fc959:
Finally got everything working, but I now get the same error as above every 20 mins approximately - only solution is to soft rest...

Hello,

i'll look into this matter in the beginnig of next week. Quite busy atm.

But this looks like a beginners fault from the developer :-)...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello,

i've just released version v1.0.4 (download here: http://www.petervrenken.nl/uTrack/).

It shouldn't throw as much ObjectDisposedExceptions as v1.0.3, and has a new settings screen which makes it possible to configure the time interval at which the location is published to the server.

Greetings,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello,

i am thinking about two new features and would like some opinions on the matter.

How about extending uTrack with:

- Enable when roaming. This ensures that no information is published when the device is roaming. This is probably a good idea for people that travel allot.

- support for the Google GeoLocation API. In that even without GPS the location of the device can be published. This requires Google Gear to be installed, but allows the application to be used even without GPS hardware, or when the GPS hardware is disabled.

Any idea's?

Greetings,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello everyone,

as of v1.0.6 uTrack has support for Google Gears GeoLocation. If Google Gears is installed on the device, the settings window will show a extra tabpage on which uTrack can be configured to use Google Gears GeoLocation.

When configured, uTrack first checks weither the GPS hardware is active. If this is not the case it will try to get a lat/long coordinate through Google Gears GeoLocation feature. Most of the time this coordinate is less accurate than a GPS fix, but for some appliances this is better than no fix at all.

If you are using it, please let me know what you think about it.

Just one stupid question, where is the program?

I have installed it (a few times). The installation, apparently, is correct. But, I cannot find the icon to run the program.

Am I doing something bad?

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LarryWMSN:
I like the program but I'm not sure what the publish usage is meant for. Is this the setting that tells the program to post to the web server or is this something else? The screen says "This option publishes diagnostic information"

The program isn't posting to my web server although the test function brings up my web browser and does a post which works. I've also tested the GPS using Live Search and the intermediate GPS driver to verify that I have a valid GPS position. It would be great if you showed the lat lon on 1 of the screens to help with diagnosing any problems.

Thanks for your work on this program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello LarryWMSN,

super to hear you like uTrack! It is indeed a good idea to display the lat/long somewhere, and i'll update the application soon to do so.

About the diagnostics: I will also update the description a bit more. When enabled this option will publish diagnostics information to a central server. It is disabled by default, and its sole purpose is for me to get more information about the correct working of the application.

Can you also give me some insight on if you use the Google Gears GeoLocation function?

Thanks in advance,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello Tranbert,

i'm quite busy having vacation with my girlfriend atm so i'll keep it short. Sorry about that.

Configuring a custom website consists of a few components:

- a page that retrieves and processes the info from uTrack (for example publish.aspx) and stores this data.

- a database (or other persistent datastore) in which the latitude/longitude information is stored.

- One or more pages that query the database and fetch the related images from google maps.

If you're not a software developer it might be a bit complex. But don't worry, i'm working on release 1.1.0 of uTrack, which has a server (HTML) component that can optionally be embedded in other websites.

Greetings,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello sbunno86,

uTrack is not designed for active GPS monitoring. Imho an active GPS tools drains the battery of a device within notime, which really makes it only usefull when the device is cradled or a long interval is used.

However, if there is allot of interest, i'll think about implementing an option which uses the GPS hardware even when it is not in use.

Greetings,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dvn2008:
hello ddookie,

Perhaps you can make the application to send the info once a day by default, but add capability for user to set a custom interval - let's say every one hour max? Therefore battery life can be adjusted according to user's need.

Hi,

maybe it`s a stupid question:

Does it work with a GPS data logger or only with a GPS navigiation?

Peter
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello Kino,

uTrack uses the GPS Intermediate driver. So all devices that use this driver should work. However, i must admit that i do not have enough information about how a data logger works. But i can imagine that it uses a complete other set of mechanisms when it comes to connectivity, right?

Greetings,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kino-kino:
Well

I really don`t know!

I am no expert on that field, so, how to find out without buying one?

Maybe someone else who uses it copuld answer that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello everyone!

I've just released version 1.1.1 of uTrack. This version has one essential bug fixed in that Google Gears GeoLocation function can now be used in it's full glory.

Also the webpage widget now shows a message when no position has been published to the server yet. Bear in mind that in order to see the map in the widget, the device application has to publish the position to the server at least once.

Please let me know what you think of this version.

Questions on Functionality

I have seen a site www.mologogo.com that can obtain GPS id based on intervals and publish or it can set up a descreete SMS function by which a user sends an SMS to a device, & based upon the content of the sms it is deleated without alerting the device but in the process aquires a GPS signal and transmits that back overlaid on a map, to the SMS sender. The only problem is, I think the GPS has to be running all the time which causes massive battery drainage.

How would I go about descretely tracking a device with your program? Both interval tracking or spot checking?

Thanks,

Some feedbacks

Hi,

I was evaluating utrack, reading the posts and googling for the last couple days.

For those who are willing for a periodic gps activity without draining your battery, please check GPSToday (www.geoterrestrial.com), a very neat free mobile app and it sits on your today screen too. it basically open gps and try a lock in the defined intervals (plus a lot too)

And now for Peter:

- I loved the idea and initiative, congratulations!

- I have HTC diamond.(WM 6.1)

- I've downloaded v1.1.1.2421

- Google gears doesn't not seem to work (I've played with it standalone too after my initial failures, it initially started crashing the IE, then for a reason that i am not aware, it started not doing so but obviously not working). I appreciate assistance or reviews from those who've succeded on that.

- A logging or debugging option would be excellent.

- IN the custom URL, tab, if you press test the string passed to the ie contains "&id=@ID" not "&id=tolgaulas" (tolgaulas is my username :)).

- Also the test string is sending arbitrary coordinates (last tests with my server are : [2008/10/01 05:34:45] Received 167.396833089831, 72.0667326646237

[2008/10/01 05:54:02] Received 83.6653526610068, 35.3540520767467

) Trust me, i wasn't in a rocket. Should it be google gears, because when the gps has a lock utrack passes correct parameters in the GET call.

Many thanks in advance.

Tolga.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Hello Tolga,

thanks for the feedback! Too bad Google Gears does not work on you're device. Could it be that installing the latest version fixes the problem? Google Gears is still in a beta and I’ve noticed a few enhancements in the last version myself. It really sounds weird that it does not run on a HTC Diamond. Just brainstorming, but doesn’t the Diamond use Opera as its default browser?

Ow, about the bug regarding the wrong replacement of the test ID: I'll fix it in the next version. The Lat/Long testdata is randomized because the application is passive. I can probably get enhanced by publishing the last real Lat/Long position or by a more accurate limitation of the random testdata. The latter fix should ensure you do not wander of into space anymore. :-)

The next release should also fix the limited data publication. When a publication error occurs the current version does skip the whole publication. This results in a situation where data is not published on a consistent basis.

I’m also thinking on showing the device location on a tabpage but haven’t got a clue on how this can be realized… Any idea on how to show Google Maps data in an Windows Mobile application? My first guess would be an embedded webbrowser but it seems that maps.google.com does not show correctly in IE on WM devices.

Greetings and thanks for the great response,
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tolgaulas:
Hi Peter,

I'll do more research on diamong and gears, will post here if i find something.

There is a solution for putting IE back as default : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2546663

I'll eagerly follow this thread for your next releases.

And regarding googlemap, if you can display a picture for present i think that would do. I use the "http://maps.google.com/staticmap?center=$lat,$lon&zoom=10&size=200x250&markers=$lat,$lon&key=$googleapikey" which returns a gif file. (dunno about licences etc..)

I let you tweaking the result with more controls. You may check this link for more info: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/

Hi ddookie,

I would be very intrested in an gps tracking tool, wich can be set to an interval (so start up gps, get fix in max X minutes, send data to server, shut off gps/device) to wake up your device and do this.

This is the only option I'm missing in a lot of other GPS tracking tools...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tranbert:
I do !

The map tab is very useful to see the ~real time position, or to check if publish is OK.

Concerning the widget, a map view could be more readable, satellite view is sometime hard to recognize...

Btw : Google Gears is Ok on a Qtek9100. But I need to launch a real "gps-enabled" application to get first uTrack publication. Or to speed up first publication, I don't know exactly...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddookie:
Interested?

Hello,

Both active and passive usage of the GPS should become an option in the near future. I do not know yet about the option to only publish changes more than n meters, but i'll take it into account.

Ow, and just out of curiosity: would you guys be interested in a commercial-but-cheap component framework that allows other developers easy and event-driven access to exact and approximate positioning information? Say combining the positioning of GPS and Google Gears GeoLocation in one easy to use package, without the hassel of Intermediate Drivers, Serial ports or Google Gears GeoLocation scripting?

Just curious if it has commercial potential.
