Thanx mate,

this is indeed a known problem with restricted profiles and activated "Switch To Timed Profile In Known But Unassigned Loc"

This will be *hopefully* fixed in next Release.

As workaround you can deny this switch to timed profile in unassigned location or assign these locations to a profile.

Regards

Great Icons - very silver & loco :)

I've added download to post #2

Many many thanx

Thanx for the hint with some skins, which can overwrite the icons, that it can't be choosen. The default icon is always \\windows\\CHTS_no_icon.png for CHTS and CHTSLoco - so if this icon is not there or overwritten with a 100% transparent one, then it's not visible.

@Cheff: And you also started Loco for initialization before you applied the cab, like I wrote in installation instructions?

@cmsc: Yes - this will come automatically - if CHTS reacts on this - then it will make another profile.

But I could also add a "home"-country, so that the country-code must be home-country and all other codes are roaming and gets an own event. Good idea.

Anyway: For Roaming CHTS has already the feature to disable Data and/or phone - this is switched withing milliseconds. A whole profile needs longer... especially you assign a Sense Layout with it. But there I made Special1-9, which should better have no assigned Layout to fast react on any event.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hey bbonzzz - at first: Thanx for your free apps, too!!! I think we have the same mind in sharing. I had much fun by painting eastereggs and teased my collegues with CountOnMe :)

For your question: Yes & No: I thought about it, but I wasn't sure, if a third icon is too much. Also I need Co0kie for it, because that something a bit deeper in CHT code, which can be changed at best with a CHT Release. So I must have a look, when we hear us. CHTS has already some deep integration in CHT - therefore I like to use simply "CHT-Suite" - because for the users they see different applications - but Co0kie and me as devs, we have another parts, which are not seperated by CHT or CHTS. So also this Location-discovery was already in CHT (I made it 2 month ago or so), but hidden for users. As well some things (like the CHTS-Icons) are controlled by CHT and that in Co0kies Code, I does only change the graphics with CHTS... and so on.

I only explained it, that you see, that it's not as easy as a quicklink - and I want to avoid side-effects. But I think it's also a nice idea.

Perhaps I can replace one icon with the location and make it user-configurable. I will see, ok?

Thanks to you and all the others for the nice feedbacks!

Merry Xmas

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
Thanks, Micha, and best wishes to you as well
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Thanks! the reason that this would have a different application than the Data Disable in Roaming option in the phone options, is that there are phone carriers that use another carrier's cell towers, and in this case roaming is always displayed on the phone wether actually roaming or not, because the phone thinks its always in roaming since its using another companie's cell towers. In this case you cannot use the disable data in roaming feature because then data would always be disabled. But if CHTS can monitor cell towers, it can detect when the cell tower is a foreign one and actually tell if its really roaming or not, and if so switch to a profile (w/o layout change) with data disabled. Simply activate a profile switch when ever the cell tower is form a different country than the one specificed by user.

But normally this country celltower switch feature can be used by everyone just as another way to swicth a profile, some users may want to have a different profile-layout when roaming. This would be really be unique and exclusive feature of CHTS :)

The way CHTSLoco handles towers is much much better than any other profile manager program by far, like in the way it can be left to record all cell towers in a location, the way you can manage different custom locations with their assigned towers, the quickling icon, etc. Congrats.

Darn...having CDMA sucks...LOL

Great app bro...wish I have a GSM phone...;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I'm about trying to do something for cdma, too.

It's not so easy - cdma doesn't use cells in the same way, that this mechanism works.

But there are still some opportunities ;) Let's see.

(yes, gps will come anyway to Loco, but that has battery drain disadvantages and works not well indoors...so I look for other things, too)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Feliz Navidad and also congratulations on Loca, Loco :D Aren´t we all a bit crazy :p

Spanish is on it´s way... ;)

Micha,

great app!! Just installed it, took a picture of my favorite pub, changed it into a .png and dumped it in /windows! Now I'm sure I am in the right place:)

Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
that's also a good idea - perhaps a camera inferface could be funny to do that directly :) Mmh - something to think about next year.

Have fun in your pub!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francisco.sismeiro:
Hi Micha!

Nice app for us. Thanks a lot.

And I wish for you and for all CHT team a happy Yuletide and a 2011 full of success... and new great apps!

CHTS Loco Spanish Translation - rough

Buenos días compañero, would you mind taking a look at the Spanish translation - especially for "cell" - I´ve used "torre" instead of "celda" and celula" (sorry, I usually use acentos, but not in this translations). It´s short and makes also sense, but maybe misleading for users that don´t differentiate between the actual cell towers... ;)

Muchas gracias, and a nice Sunday to all :D

[ATTACHED]languageloco_spanish
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Buenos dias, don't mind at all, glad to help. I looked it over everything and the use of torre for cell I think makes good sense, it conveys the meaning and its short. Another posibility is to use Antena-GSM, its closer to the meaning of celltower but its a bit longer though.

Here is some input of a couple of translations attached to this post, there are many equal ways to translate one thing, so these are just a another point of view you may want to consider if you like better or not :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Just noticed something curious Micha, if you swipe across from right to left in the bottom empty portion of the main menu page, it will open the page for the known location you have defined (I only have one yet). Nothing important, just idn't know if you were aware of if it was on purpose.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Muchas gracias ;) I like your proposals very much :D It´s always better when more "eyes" look at the same item... Have you tested your version with CHTS Loco already? I hate to admit that I haven´t installed it yet :o but I´m to concentrated on chts-theming at the moment.

The only thing we might still have to decide on, is weather tu use "torre" (as you wrote before, it does make sense in this context) or try "antena GSM", "GSM" or just "antena" (even thow GSM and antena alone could mislead some users in thinking about the phone´s antena, as well as the phone´s GSM).

In:

IDLC_GOODNITEIGNORESCELL=Perfil GoodNite ignora cambios de torre

what would you say, if we leave out the word "Perfil" (Profile), since we already know that GoodNite is a profile?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Gracias a ti, glad to help :)

You could use torre-GSM? that way you know its not the phone's antena, its shorter than antena-GSM, and its more precise than just torre. Cell is a tough one to translate!

I usually just use the english version so I haven't actually tested the spanish version yet either :o

Is the word GoodNite used the same in the spanish CHTS version? if so, then I would leave out the word "Perfil" since like you say, since spanish speaking people would be familiar with GoodNite as a profile already.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
languageloco_default.txt FINAL

:D I like that one too ;) And when Micha brings out CDMA, then will just change it...

For the time beeing, all profiles have a Spanish name as well, and you can change them, BUT they also include the English name in brackets behind it. For example "GoodNite" in Spanish CHTS version is: Noche (GoodNite) and there are already some parts in the Spanish CHTS menue that use the original profile name in English ;)

Btw, added your name in the line for translators :)

ATTACHED: languageloco_default
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Thanks! will try out the spanish translation :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Just looked over it. Unfortunately some phrases are too long in spanish and do not fit, so I have changed then in the file, they are the following:

Guardar Torres-GSM seleccionadas a nuevo nombre

for

Guardar seleccionadas a nuevo nombre

Borrar Torres-GSM grabadas seleccionadas

for

Borrar Torres grabadas seleccionadas

actualización minima de Torres-GSM durante busqueda

for

actualización mínima de Torres durante búsqueda

I have also added some acentos that I missed the first time around. But there is a problem with the setting page, in which the 3 "general settings" descriptions have the second line cut in the bottom half of the letters (i.e. the botton half of the letters are cut off). I think this is not a issue about making the text shorter (which would be tough without it loosing its meaning) but rather making type smaller or making the top height of the space for each option higher, as this issue is likely going to give problems in many other languages as well.

Attached is the corrected file for you to look at :)

Dusk theme for CHTSLoco
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Sorry to read this - but I kinda imagined this would happen. At least with CHTS and CHTE I always checked the versions on my device to make sure the sentences would display properly, but with Loco, I had no time so far. I will see that I install it and go over the longer one´s, so we can have them in one line...

Guess that´s why I liked "torre" so much... I´ll check specifically the settings, and for the ones you posted, I write some shorter alternatives inbetween the lines too:

Guardar Torres marcadas a nuevo nombre

Borrar Torres grabadas marcadas

actualización mínima de Torres en búsqueda

And muchas gracias por los acentos ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
This way you worte them is even better because its even smaller and now you could even fit Torre-GSM and will still fits :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
All right, so we made it then :D Maybe tomorrow I´ll update the text to "Torre-GSM" :p Thanks to and for your support ;)

Cosmetic question

Hello,

There is a white page in front of (standard) icon/free link.

Is it possible to remove it ?

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
Micha, another desiderata - on my side - is an option to change immediately the icon (instead of waiting, as now, for cell stability and "observe user behaviour").

This for i use CHTSLoco to see if i am in my home zone (to place a call for free), and i'd like to know immediately if i enter it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrpierrec:
waoouuu

Micha,

Thanks for this Christmas gift....:) :) :)

Again a nice tool for CHT environment...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
Italian translation
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Thanx for your translations & icons - absolutely great!

Also for the suggestions - I will try to do them - I only must pay attention at first, that Loco doesn't jump between 2 locations, if a cell isn't established, because then later CHTS would change the profile too often. But I will find a way, yes :)

Especially if the new features are finished in Loco. because then there are more than this method inside and this will work for all devices as extension to get indoors also more accuracy as only cell towers (and still uses no gps or internet :) )

And sure gps will come, too - as well as cell tower handling for cdma. There I will use a service of a third party app, which works great so far. but I must test it a bit longer and look together with the dev of it, how's the best way to integrate it, that it's easy to use.

Nevertheless: in Loco you will only see what you personally want to use. If for your purposes Cell Towers are enough - you still can make all other things invisible in your Loco.

But I bet... one new option you will also activate, to get an exact knowledge about location in nearby places without gps and internet ;)

Let's see - but Release won't be this year :) I think Loco works fine for the most of you, so that I can develop without urgency and our team has time to test the new things.

If I'm back home, I will make referals to the new icon-sets and languages from Post #2. thanx for this again!

Regards

Micha

It have on it a small white page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
That is the CHTState Logging Toggle, on top of your CHTSloco icon.:o

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
it´s ok now.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Sometimes I'm wondering what you are doing with your Sense, Chef :) *lol* Nice that it works.

@All: I've updated the whole Post #2 with the Languages and Icon-Sets, which are posted.

Please tell me, if I linked something wrong or if I have forgotten something.

Thanx to all, who translated and skinned!

A remark for the skinners but also for users, who wants to have their own personal Icons:

You can make as much Icons as you want for Locations. If the name starts with "chtsloco_" and it's a .png-File in \windows, then you can use each icon, you like.

E.g. you want the pic of a pig, then just search/create a graphic with a pig (at best 128x128) or make with your camera a pic of a pig, and save it as chtsloco_pig.png , then you will see this pig as possible location icon in Loco. (I assume, that the pig is only in the same cell tower area :) )

BTW: Is Finish finish? (I still haven't found this language) :)

Hello Michal,

soory for my low respons in the past but I had the best reason you can have ...

I am now a father :))))

Anyway, the software is working but I have, as usually, a silly question. What is it good for to see on my Mobile where I am ?

Thanks and do not stopp your perfect work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Oh - my biggest congratulations! Nice to hear it.

For your question: I almost answered it in CHTS-Thread right now. So only short: it's fun and something to show, except for people who needs to know their homezone or roaming.

But I will connect it with CHTS, so you can change your Sense because of your location - and I think that could be interesting for very much people.

So just imagine each change to a known Loco-Location would change your Volume, Ringtone, Wallpaper, Power-Settings, Widgets, ...and/or the whole Sense-Layout :) Could be nice, ey?

Regards to the new father! :)

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:

Thank you very much :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Great work guys :)

@For All - but especially CDMA-Users:

You will get 2 solutions, which both works for you - one is out of the box, but has its disadvantages, so it's best to be combined with Cell Recognition also for CDMA.

Therefore you will need a 3rd-party-App, where I'm in touch with the developer - this is able to identify also CDMA-cells.

It will take some time to put it into Loco (I have a bad cold atm and can't concentrate on developing) - but you can already get familiar with this driver, because it has much more advantages:

*MachCell - Mod Driver by Mach2003*

Regards & Happy New Year

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Thanks ric for the icons. In fact this is why I pressed "quick reply" right before I read you post. :) Both Loco and CHTS need the SAME icons like CHT stock. Since Michel is cooperating with the CHT team (or is part of it), I would expect stock CHTS and CHTLoco to be same icons like CHT... Makes sense?

BTW, Michel, great work. Now CHTS + CHTL come closer to the once great CommManagerPro.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Yes - I'm a part of the team :) And also the designer of the icons (santod040) is a part of the team. He made the icons for CHT as well as for CHTS.

CHTSLoco has different icons - but only for the Location - because that's a difference. But the other quicklinks have all the stock CHTS-look

And we in team think, that the CHTS-Icons are so nice, that it's better to do it in the other way and also skin the CHT in the CHTS-Icon-way.

But indifferent which direction... all can be also simply skinned by anybody, because of the usually used image names by CHT & CHTS.

Thanx for the other nice words - looking also forward to feel better and can developing on :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
OK but the bulk of people that contribute nothing and expect the best (like me :D :D :D) want you guys to give us a UNIFORM icon set for CHT/CHTS/CHTL...

Thanks. :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illanz:
Very good !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I'm not a skinner - but yes - that is also my thinking. Some Icons-Sets are already available anyway for CHT+CHTS.

But yeah... for the "stock" wen need a rework of the CHT-Icons.

Thanx mate :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Things I miss (except of course for it to start to be able to kick profiles in and out):

- When collecting cell data, to also have a timestamp in the list. Why? Because you may leave recording mode for a day and then just match cells and location based on where you were at the time periods you know.

- (when integration with CHT and CHTS becomes tighter) Replace operator name with the location name. In fact in the future I would expect replacing operator with "Location - Profile" (i.e. one part from CHTS one from CHTSL).

- I hope it also gets a nice mini icon for the operator line bar like the two CHTS icons. A third one fits too. ;)

- In fact CHTSL should be part of CHTS (yes switchable for people sensitive with "active" software that might eat up battery), as most things I can imagine, relate one with the other.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnny5rlx:
well you (developer) get my appreciation!

i did not even know of CHTS at all. not that i'm into configuring all the scheduling stuff, i do like de location icon. i also have faith it won't take too much battery or i wouldn't have installed it. i just installed it and thus far i like it.

cell towers are correctly identified for now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi mate,

I made the time, that you know, when this one was the first time seen. Perhaps I will replace it with the last time seen somewhen.

But it's a good indication, if you find new cell towers - and in some areas in the worlds, they are growing fast.

And this time will be also of interest, if next Loco comes.. because there is also a time inside - and there it will be interesting... (because it will discover indoors also your position with another trick)

Also the outfit things for HomeTab will be re-made, if the CHTS-Location Awareness is combined with it.

And to combine Loco+CHTS-cab - Yes - both needs the same things, so they can't run seperately, but it's because of the updates necessary to have different .cab's. For a Loco update also update CHTS... not at the moment useful. But perhaps later - we will see, how the life cycles of the versions suits together.

For next Loco a new CHTS-Version is needed. But I will think about it after combining all in CHTS-Location/Event-Handling, what's a good solution.

Thanx mate,

CHTS is made for saving Battery, not for draining (Sorry that some reputations of former Apps, which are scheduling something, made this. I can only say, that CHTS doesn't use ANY always running app and is directly integrated in Windows-Notification-System. Sure that a Wallpaper-Switch or so costs a bit battery, but this saves CHTS with other things, which you can set. It's always the same thing: Is this feature worth to do it - because each working on the device needs battery. So CHTS can help to save it as good as possible)

The same principles I applied to Loco: No always running App/Service - only if needed, it's loaded and does the things, what's to do and say goodbye.

Ok - indirectly there is something always running: Sense. And there are the connections integrated (e.g. for changing the Location Icon) - this is, how CHT is for all things working. And in CHT I integrated a fast and non-draining check for the GSM-cells. (not in C# :) That would be too slow and really could drain)

Only later for CDMA and some other things, a service of 3rd-party-Apps would be needed. But not inside Loco.

So nice, that you like it - and just look, what CHTS+Loco can do for you, to save your Sense and your Battery :)

Improvement suggestions are anyway always welcome.

Thank you! I've added the Link to your posting to Post #2-language-overview.

I really haven't thought, that already the "xmas - 'preview' beta" of CHTSLoco is so appreciated by so much users and that it is really working so fine on all (atm GSM-) Devices without issues.

But there is more to come also for Loco... ;) You will have fun :)
