Error Connecting...

Hello,

In the last versions (0.2.35.20 and 0.2.35.21) I get the following message while trying to make a search of caches via GPRS:

Internet connection [ConnMgrEstablishConnection] failed.

And I can't use the program on line. It doesn't happens if I search via WLAN. Does anybody how can I configure this in GCzII?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] realhuette:
> Internet connection [ConnMgrEstablishConnection] failed.

I also get this message sometimes. I think it happens when the signal is bad... Most of the time some retries help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quber:
Thanks a lot for your answer realhuette, but I realized that I have excellent signal coverage and satellites are fully fixed. I'm trying again and again, and I cannot get any result more than:

Internet connection [ConnMgrEstablishConnection] failed.

Any other idea, please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lamajstro:
Same problem here: Internet connection [ConnMgrEstablishConnection] failed.

Does not work on Touch HD. Can this program be used without Geocaching.com? I mean, just entering the coordinates we get?

If not, I think it is useless as not everyone's using geocaching.com...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quber:
Error connecting: Internet connection [ConnMgrEstablishConnection] failed

I have an HTC Touch as well. What I don't understand is why it works if I try it via WLAN, and not via GPSR.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Before you call this program useless, have you made quite sure you don't need a proxy? What carrier are you on?

And what's in your log files? Send them to Tom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
I bet you are using the German version:

Open GCzII --> Menü --> GPS --> GPS Monitor --> Menü --> Ziel Koordinaten einstellen

Do other programs have access to GPRS/UMTS on your mobile and is it only GCzII that isn't working? Which is your mobile carrier? It works great on my Diamond 2.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quber:
Hi derlbear,

All other programms in my phone have acces to GPRS without problems (mail, internet explorer, opera, youtube,...) but GCzII. I am in:

Menü --> GPS --> GPS Monitor --> Menü, but I don't know what do you mean with "Ziel Koordinaten einstellen", sorry don't speak German.

In the path you suggested, I have the following options:

Set Target Location

GPS On/Off

Zoom

GPS Trail

Direction

Auto Scalling

Solar Azimuth

View

Touch UI (what's this for?)

Google Map

Camera

I can set a Target location if this is what you mean, but the problem I have is that GCz show me a connection error while searching, and don't know why, as the other programs in my phone can connect without problems (and without proxy). If I connect via WLAN or with USB cable to a computer it also works ¿?

My mobile carrier is Vodafone (Spain) and the phone is an HTC Touch 3G.

It seems an awesome program and I'd love to makes it work.

Somebody knows how to solve it?

Thanx a lot for any help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Hi quber,

this was only the solution for using GCzII without geocaching.com by only entering the target location. The second paragraph was a further question. I don't know how to solve it :-( sorry.

Cheers,

derlbear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lamajstro:
Thank you for your help concerning the target location.

Concerning the GPRS error: I'm using the English version although I am located in Germany, using E+ as the carrier.

Every other single program is able to use the GPRS connection. By the way, I have a Touch HD, !HD!, not Touch.

Something I realized: When this program starts the GPRS connection the title bar shows that GPRS is connected but when I switch to the HTC settings page, the "data connection" is still set to "off" whereas it is set to "on" when other programs start the GPRS connection, as for example, Opera.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quber:
I have checked this point and when GCz is searching, "data connection" is set to "on" in my device, but I still get the message "Internet connection [...]failed. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hello, Gech,

i was using my Asus PDAs with Cachewolf, but now i have an T-Mobile MDA Compact V (similar to HTC Touch Diamond 2), and Cachewolf is unusable on it: too small buttons.

Now i have found GCzII, and i must say: Absolutely Perfect. (ok, nearly :D)

I have also found a few caches with it, and it integrates very well with TouchFlo3D. Very good work.

But:

When i find a cache and press "Log" GCz immediately tries to go online and can't be stopped.

As i am not on any flatrate i think i should use Fieldnotes. But:

When using Fieldnotes back at home i select the given Field note then press "Log" to review the log. Then i have to press "ok" to post the log. But then there is a wait of 30 seconds up to 3 Minutes before anything happens. I am connected via WiFi, the Field Notes only contain 3 to 5 logs.

I must admit i didn't read all of the 180+ pages of this thread, so please be nice...

And at last: I think i found some improvable things:

- In Download Settings, the target has to be typed. Is it possible to get a Folder selector?

- There are some other Target Folder fields, such as in History, Export GPX and more. Can they be changed in same manner?

- What is "Search Settings" for? i can select different Modes, but did not notice any difference.

- Is it possible to modify the translation? I am using German translation but want to improve it here and there. (No offense to derlbear and Phil82de, i just want to contribute!)

Many thanks, and keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Contributions are never offense, so contribute and let's discuss :)

GCz and Ozi

Hi,

do you can add support for Ozi Explorer CE (http://www.oziexplorer.com)?

I think, that this API is, what I can ...

Create a New AVL Vehicle and display it on the map.

The maximum number of vehicles that can be created is 250.

Write the data to a file called avldata.$$$ and send a message to OziExplorerCE

Example code

vName = "Vehicle 1"

vLat = 41.056

vLon = -124.14

vDesc = "Vehicle 1 Description"

vSymbol = "avl1.bmp"

' write the data to this file

' folder must be folder where OziCE is installed

File1.Open "\OziExplorer\avldata.$$$", fsModeOutput

File1.LinePrint vName

File1.LinePrint vLat

File1.LinePrint vLon

File1.LinePrint vDesc

File1.LinePrint vSymbol

File1.Close

' this sends the message to OziCE

Result = SendMessage(OziWindow, WM_USER + 5, Me.hwnd, 101)

Thanks

Problems with connection

Hi all,

does anybody know why can I perform a search when I amb connected to internet via WLAN but GCzII doesn't work when I try to search caches via GPRS. I have a flat rate and it should work, but it doesn't on my HTC Jade 3G. All other programs I use, can connect via GPRS without problems.

I have tried the search thousands times and I always get the same message "Internet connection [ConnMgrEsblishConnection] failed".

1 out of 500 times have worked :confused:

Any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
quber

if work via WiFi or AcriveSync fine. most of case, it is proxy setting issue.

Maybe you should check your Proxy settings in the Connections in Settings.

Especially, in for GPRS/UTMS(3G) connection. only you can see it.

See attach picture and check the proxy settings.

thank you

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rohag:
I have exactly the same issue and scenario as quber. The solution above, with proxy settings, did not solve my problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
To be solved the Connection Failed issue.

Please give me detail info.

Please explain the Proxy settings in Connections.

type : HTTP/Socks/WAP/WAP-secure... etc etc....

Screenshot is nice as well.

Also, dump registry under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr]. very helpful.

I have no information about the issue.

I just know there is the issue.

thank you

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hello, Gech,

i have 3 little (:D) feature requests:

1) When do you intend to implement offline search? Atm it is only possible to do a search when online, although there are a lot of caches in my list(s).

2) I would like to see the 'Offline Mode'-Button on the front page instead of in the menu. I often switch modes to look up caches in my area, but every cache downloaded via GPRS may cost me up to 4€, so i want to avoid clicking accidently on any cache.

3) Is it possible to get the cache list updating direction and distance according to actual position once every (few) second(s)? (I noticed i often drove near any other cache while searching for the selected with the 'radar'. Then selected the next on my list and voila, 'i seem to know this location, wtf?')

@derlbaer:

Kann ich selber die Übersetzung bearbeiten oder soll ich dir ein paar Vorschläge (per PN oder Thread?) schicken? Hast du evtl. eine Vorlagendatei?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rohag:
Connection Failed issue resolved for me...

Thanks Gech, the proxy setting tips get me on the right track.

I manually enter the proxy server and port number for "http" in the proxy settings in GCz app. I found the server in windows settings and just copied the values. Sorry, I did not realize that i have to do that.

BTW Gech, it´s i great app keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:

I'm happy to hear that. but manual proxy settings make user confused.

I'm trying to change the setting automatic configuration.

(not sure it works or not yet.)

thanks

tom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quber:
Terrific Gech !!! It works with the proxy configuration you posted in the attached pic. I had flagged the option "Use proxy".

The only thing not working is that I get no results when I search by my own username ¿? D'you know what's the problem with this?

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Quber
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gech:
This is test version for "Internet connection [ConnMgrEstablishConnection] failed" issue.

Please try it and feedback me.

If this work, I will change to this way.

(Auto Proxy Configuration as same as Internet Explorer. No more proxy settings.)

So, need to test this version by all users.

******************

Before try this, please rename Language MUI file if use.

Because it does not match for this version.

Is there any chance of porting GCz to Android? How much work would that involve?

I was thinking of changing my HTC Vogeu to Android, but the Geocaching apps available are still rathur immature. And I love GCz too much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neopren66:
Just want to notify you about a slight typo in the german skin: In the Cache-View / Menü / Galleriebilder is wrong.

The english word "Gallery" is written with just one "l" = "Galerie" in German. Furthermore I suggest to use "Galerie" instead of the full term "Galeriebilder" ("Galeriebilder" means "gallery-pictures" - but the word "Galerie" already implies that there are pictures).

So my proposal is to change Galleriebilder to Galerie, one "l", no "bilder".

Hello,

First of all, nice program :D

I'm very very very happy that you have made this program for us 'geocachers'.

I have only 1 request:

When I saw a nice monument to take a picture from, I pressed the camera link in your program and took a picture.

When a came home, I wanted to post it on geocaching.com but the resolution was not great and I have a 5mp camera(htc touch diamond 2).

After some research, I found that the program changes the settings of the camera. It changes the resolution to 640x384.

Is it possible to not change the standard settings of the camera when you press the camera link in the program? So that I can take 5mp pictures ;)

Thank you

Greetz from belgium

Hi quber!

Maybe you checked the box that the caches you found shouldn't be listed/downloaded. I had the same "problem" some pages before ;)

"Go to Menu/Option/Search Settings, uncheck the 2nd box (Exclude your own or found items from results)."

Just send me all your improvements and I'll collect them for the German version. I think this is easier for Tom.

I did not spend the time to read all the history. Sorry for that.

OK, nice to read that it is on the track already.

@Gech - forgot to say ... Thanks for this excellent piece of software!

I have serveral SW issues with my brandnew HTC touch diamond 2 (...my old iPAQ did not cause so many troubles...), but GCz runs very smooth! Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derlbear:
Yes I have the same "issue". I can also make GPS-tagged pictures with my mobile, but not when I press the camera-button in GCzII, which opens the camera but with limited functions. I always have to minimize GCzII and then start the camera.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quber:
Thanks a lot for the answer derlbear, but I have seen this box and it's been always unchecked, so I don't understand why I cannot see my owned caches in the searches.

On the other side I have realized that there are some caches which I know they exists and which I get if I search in geocaching.com, but GCzII doesn't show when I raise a search. For example, there are a serie of caches in Barcelona called "B de Barcelona #[number]", and if I make a search by "Cache Name", entering "B de Barcelona #12" I get the message "Cache not found".

Can anybody try this same search and tell me if they get results? I have tried it in geocaching.com by Waypoint name, and the cache appears, but not on my PDA. I'm using version 0.2.35.23.

Thanks a lot everybody for the big help!

quber
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
I also got 'chache not found' when I searched for 'B de Barcelona #12'. I tried searching for just 'B de Barcelona' and got a bunch of results including #12. I think maybe there is a problem with special characters.

I searched for my own cahces (Andronicus) and they al showed up nicely. I searched for 'quber' under cache owner, but got nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quber:
Hi andronicus,

thanks for your answer. I neither get nothing when searching only by "B de Barcelona" (caches whicj I have found).

I've been testing and what finally happens is that I never get in the results my found nor owned caches, although the box in "Search settings" is unchecked. It seems as it always is checked.??

does anybody have the same problem. How to solve it?

Thanks a lot for this great soft.

Hi Tom,

I´m having a strange problem with GCZII lately, since a few days ago I do not have the red Dot Target in the GPS Monitor, whether I chose as target a Cache Location or a Target Location I can only see the Blue triangle, the Red triangle and the red Dot disappeared , I have checked the settings but could not find anything wrong. my GCZII version is 0.2.35.23 but I had this problem with version .21 also, I do not use custom TargetCursors.

The Solar Azimuth also disappeared, no matter I set it on or off.

Regards,

David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
Double check your "Search Settings" The 'Box' is just to eliminate your caches and finds from all searches. All the boxes below that will do the same, but just for the search mode specified. Insure that all of those are un-checked, then try again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SecretAgentMan:
I searched for 'b de barcelona' and found the series just fine.

I searched for 'b de barcelona #12' and found that cache as well.

Wow! Sorry, sorry, what a silly thing. I had unmarked the option "Exlude " but there were marked all the rest in the box below... :o I'm just a beginner.

Thank you very much Andronicus and all the people who helps and make this software really good!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Hi Tom,

When I download a lot of caches with static maps I exceed the google quota so I have the "quota exceeded image" instead of the static maps ... that's ok I understand it :rolleyes:

Yet I would really like that GCz doesn't consider this image as a correct downloaded image...

If I try to reload the cache latter even if "Skip downloaded Images" is checked GCz should still try to download the correct static map instead of keeping the "quota exceeded image".

For now I have to uncheck the "Skip downloaded Images" which is annoying as GCz will also download again the other correct downloaded images.

So could you please not consider "quota exceeded image" as a correct downloaded image and reload it even if "Skip downloaded images" is checked, or add a specific checkbox for static maps in "reload cache" and "reload all" forms ?

Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeppe188:
I'm happy that somebody else has that "limitation". Maybe a request for the maker of the program Gech :D

Hey all- hey tom

apptodate worked like a charm w/ new release for me.

Camera hasnt been an issue cant speak of that, except it only takes one picture.

I been using this great program from everytrail.com that maps you a gpx of the trails you walk. It will also export a kml file. Great site and software.

Was thinking GCzII does this already, but theirs will actually geotag your photos. and then spit the whole mess out in a kml/gpx.

Just a thought. Im already switching back and forth between gcz / everytrail figured you've done so much already you might consider making trail marking a little easier. ( setting for how many feet/meters to mark, etc)

check out that site if you geocache guys i have a couple trips listed under my geo-handle barefeat

Thanks tom gcz still working for all my hides/finds

Is it possible to cancel a search request? Sometimes, the GPRS connection hangs and the application is waiting for an unlimited time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davrebelo:
Hi Tom,

Problem solved.

The problem was in my GPS, After several re-installations of GCZII, I came to the obvious conclusion the problem was in my GPS, I then used a Utility called SirfTech, switched from NMEA to Sirf then back to NMEA again, opened GCZII and voila, Problem solved.

I have a Eten Glofiish X800 phone, and I just realized, from reading some of the last posts in this forum that the camera button is working, in my device this never worked, when I click in camera, nothing happens. And it´s a pity because I always take a picture of the logs I make with my phone camera.

If there was an option to manually select the camera program .exe, like Google Map Settings or the Web Browser Settings, I would be able to select it myself.

GCZ best geocaching app?

Hey, I absolutely loved GCZ when using my WinMo phone. I've moved over to the HTC Hero and it's crying out for an app like this for geocaching! Is there anyway to port the app over to android?

I'd even be willing to spend a few quid on it in the market!

Hi guys, I just started geocaching and its GREAT! :D I have been looking for a geocaching-tailored app and GCzII looks great for all intended purposes!

Only problem is that when I attempt to search for nearby caches, an error something like "GPS has not fixed" appears

while I haven't done much testing of this problem, I have also gotten "CommManager" errors (btw, I am using a HTC touch pro2/rhodium) and right now the app is failing to give me any info on a tracking code i just entered.

can someone give me a pointer here? what am i doing wrong?

ps. i have already added my sign-in info into the options, but it hasn't had any effect it seem :/

Hello,

GczII is wonderful. It has almost everything I need. However, I have one problem.

When I run GCzII on my PDA (ipaq 214, bluetooth GPS, connected to the Internet via BT and a mobile phone) it often happens that when I turn the PDA off with the application running and then on again, the GPS seems working but when loading caches near my location it loads caches near my previous location, when the PDA was last on. The only solution is open GPS settings, click OK, turn GPS on and search again. It is quite annoying. Is there a known solution to this?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Titus_Andronicus:
This is not an issue with GCz. When you turn the PDA off, the GPS chip also turns off. When you turn the PDA on again, the GPS has to re-lock into a satalitte signal. The GPSes seem to keep reporting their old location untill it re-lockes. And to compount the issue, sometimes turning the PDA on and off (especialy with a bluetooth GPS) will lock up the bluetooth. This may be why you have to turn the GPS off and on. I now don't turn my PDA off (actualy smart phone), I use SVM Power Manager to just turn off the display.
