Hi,

Does anyone know if there's any GPS Tracking software which can send httppost data (or other form of data transfer) to a custom website?

I want it to send the regular gps data, such as Date/Time, Longitude, Latitude, Height, Speed and Heading (or whatever is available).

I can write my own web software in php/mysql - but I haven't got a clue about how to write my own android app.

I don't want any fancy maps displayed, I just want the software to acquire gps fix, and send it at user set intervals (example every 1 minute) to my own custom web application.

I had previously been using software on my old Nokia 5800 which sent it to a 3rd party server and I could import the data via xml (see here: http://madstu.net/tracker/ ) but I haven't found any such solutions for Android yet.

Any help would be appreciated :D

Stu.
[Android Apps and Games] elmejor183:
You could probably do this very simply with one service and an activity to set the interval and some status. You should look at some android tutorials and you can probably do it in less than an hour.
[Android Apps and Games] MadStu:
thanks, yes this is what I've been learning. I created a hello world app by following a tutorial, but I'm afraid that might just be my limit!
[Android Apps and Games] popshansen:
You can use Run.gps for your job.

You can customize it to send data to custom server. In section 6.2.1 in the manual explains how you do it.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] MadStu:
Thanks, I've been trying this since this morning and it seems to work on and off, I will continue to trial it though until I find something better/simpler :)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Never heard of run.gps, but I do this exact thing in Tasker. I am a long time user of TrackMe, a Windows Mobile tracking client, however I didn't really use the client that much but I've made extensive use out of the web server that went along with it. Data goes into it from several possible sources, and I have several things that extra data out of it (Google Earth to visualize, even geotagging photographs, etc).

I have a long outstanding "offline mode" that's missing from its functionality, ie: you don't want to upload, or it fails to upload so it stores the data for later and uploads it when it can. I really want to put this in some day, but it's semi-complicated and honestly editing complex tasks on my phone is tedious ;) Otherwise it's fully functional and for me works great. Let me know if you're interested.
[Android Apps and Games] MadStu:
Yes I'd be very interested in this, please. :)

Like you said, the "offline mode" would be awesome too, I'd previously used Viewranger on my old Nokia 5800 which had this offline option and worked well.

Cheers :)
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Are you using the TrackMe web server? Otherwise, what I have won't be of all that much use.
[Android Apps and Games] MadStu:
No, But I have my own server. How is the data sent? I can customise my web software to receive whichever variables are sent.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Fairly straightforward, API calls.. Not really documented anywhere I'm aware of, but here's an example.. But it could be easier to adapt the Tasker profile rather than your softwae?

/trackme/requests.php?a=upload&u=user&p=password&lat=dd.ddddddd&long=dd.ddddddd&do=2011-02-06%2009:10:00&tn=Tripname_Date&sp=0.0&alt=279.0&ang=0&db=8&comments=Optional%20Comments&bs=98

So while it's not difficult, I'd say if you already have a POST/GET type API there, it's probably easier to adapt the Tasker profiles. If you're still interested, I'll export and sanitize and put 'em here.
[Android Apps and Games] MadStu:
Yeah I could just edit to match mine. I'm very interested in your sanitized profile(s) though. I've been playing with it and can't get it to work.

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] MadStu:
After some more playing I've done it :D

Thanks for letting me know about this. Works well and I've got to start automatically when I open up the awesome MM Tracker app :)
[Defy General] nanek921:
Here is a simple step by step guide to rooting / overclocking your updated Defy. If you are like me you upgraded to the new OTA (over the air) firmware only to lose your root access / overclock

As with any free advice given out on XDA, if your phone gets borked and / or something goes wrong while you are trying to root / overclock, I do not work for Motorola and I take no responsibility for your $500 brick.

ROOTING PROCESS STEP BY STEP

1. Download and install the Motorola Mobile Phone USB Drivers (for Windows®)

http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=bda09ec8009a0210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD

2. Download and Unzip SuperOneClickRoot (thanks to SteveChou)

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=489694&d=1295035181

3. Make sure have usb debugging checked on your phone (menu - settings - applications - development - check usb debugging)

4. Plug your phone into your PC and put your phone's USB connection into "Portal and tools" mode. (After youplug your phone in, pull down the notification bar, click on USB connection then toggle Portal and tools.) and close any Motorola Portal Windows that pop up.

5a. XP USERS ONLY:

Make sure you are logged in with an administrator level user account and run the SuperOneClick.exe file that you extracted in step 2. Then Click Root (The whole process takes less than a minute.)

5b. VISTA/7 USERS ONLY:

Right click on the SuperOneClick.exe that you extracted earlier and click Run as Administrator. Then Click Root (The whole process takes less than a minute.)

OVERCLOCKING PROCESS (These are the setting I have been using for a few days with no lockups / force closes YMMV):

1. Go to Market on your phone and download SetVsel

2. Run SetVsel and input the following settings:

28 VSEL1@300 MHZ

44 VSEL2@600 MHZ

58 VSEL3 @1100 MHZ

Check Apply @ Boot Toggle

3. Click Apply+Quit

That's All Folks!

i use milestone to oc my defy is SetVsel any better? did a quad run at 1.3ghz got a nice score
[Defy General] nanek921:
I tried milestone for a few days, but I've noticed better battery life with SetVsel. I was barely making it through the day (7am - 8pm) with Milestone, Setvsel seems to get me through the night. Then again, who knows maybe I was just using it more that week.
[Defy General] S1dew1nder:
cheers dude think you maybe right looking at your settings the voltages are lower than the defults set by milestone think ill give it a go see how i get on
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
What are your settings if you don't mind?
[Defy General] S1dew1nder:
np I've got the vsel set to 65 for 1.3ghz that's the only setting i changed as i didn't know what the other 2 did lol
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Thanks. The other two as I understand are like this: First one at 300 is for when the screen is off. It runs the lowest possible to conserve everything. The second one is when the screen is on, so the phone can do what it has to without lagging. The third one is the max the phone can run, so you can run whatever you want, and not worry about slowness or lagging as it will use what it needs up to the max setting. People I see do what you did and just overclock the max to get the full potential out of the chip. The ones that change the first two either want even better battery life, or a little more power midrange when the phone is just on doing its normal stuff. Me, I am using inteks settings on the first page in the screen shot, 300 @30, 700 @54, 1200 @70. Super smooth with heavy load. Scored 1218 on Quadrant. Very stable and I'm happy.
[Defy General] Zantiszar:
AWSOME

Did the rooting super fast got it under 20 sec lol but just installed SetVsel and app is force closing on me :(

Edit: Nevermind just rebooted the phone now its working :D very fast rooting and overclocking
[Defy General] jiggidigi:
Does rooting the phone this way require the 3G fix after root?
[Defy General] Zantiszar:
3g fix? ??? I havent had any problems since rooting and 3g is working like charm just like when i opened it brand new :)
[Defy General] lucid_nightmare927:
temp root + overclock

is it possible? use the temporary root option and then use it to overclock to 1ghz?

so that i can still unroot it in the future...
[Defy General] Peglezn:
temporary root did nothing for me, had to use permanent root option

and u can stil unroot even if u use permanent option
[Defy General] lucid_nightmare927:
which is better?

is this better than z4root? over 3.6.360 version?!

does it resets the phone or clear anything up after rooting?!

would you still be able to use tmobile's apps and features? like updates OTA in the future?!

thanks!
[Defy General] Zantiszar:
@lucid i have the same firmware version as you and it rooted fast and also dint erase anything from the phone left it as it is now from the ota updates i believe there not affected
[Defy General] lucid_nightmare927:
which one did you use? or would you say better? z4root or the superOneClick?

SuperOneClick v1.6.5 is the latest with "unroot" option right?!
[Defy General] Zantiszar:
I used superoneclick for 2.1 it says but I also have the new version that has the unroot option but havent tried it and z4root ive read that still doesnt work with the new firmware update
[Defy General] lucid_nightmare927:
rooted!

ok now i rooted my phone and it said SUCCESS in the end, that means it went OK right?

after this should i use milestone ot setvsel or setcpu? which one would you guys prefer?

i'm trying setvsel now nut it doest show me:

VSEL1

VSEL2

VSEL3

just the round lightning with slider bar and the rest of the messages

can i also uncheck the USB debugging now?

thanks!
[Defy General] Zantiszar:
Cool now your rooted ;) the setvsel thing happend to me also just unistall and reinstall and that should fix it if not turn off phone and turn on again as i did ;) and yes you can disable the debugging mode without problems :)
[Defy General] lucid_nightmare927:
hi again, how do you get the vsel set to 65 for 1.3ghz

all i'm getting aside from lower values of 800mhz are:

1000mhz, 74vsel

1200mhz, 80vsel

1200mhz, 80vsel (custom)

does vsel means the higher the value the more power it consumes compare to

yours set to 65?

oh btw, if i factory reset this, is it still rooted and overclocked?
[Defy General] Zantiszar:
The lower vsel value the less baterry ir uses bit might cause stabability issues and id you factory reset it stays rooted but overclocked i cant say cause the app is what controls the overclocking so i would guess it goes to factory clock
[Defy General] morr22066:
I agree SetVsel seems better than Milestone

I also found that the Z4Root did not work for me but the SuperOneClick 2.1 method worked well.

I first tried the "noob guide" to root the defy with Z4Root. But no matter what I did it just would not work, I even went so far as to restore my Defy to factory settings and never could get it to work.

I also tried the Milestone OverClock out but ultimately decided on SetVsel. I kept the first two presets at 33 / 300 and 48 / 600 then increased the 3rd preset to a 52 / 1000 and the CPU now hits 1000MHz. There is a noticeable boost plus battery life is at least as good as it was before.

I have been pretty happy with it but then I read some of the settings here in this thread:

***

#1) 30 / 300, #2) 54 / 700, #3) 70 / 1200

***

#1) 28 / 300, #2) 44 / 600, #3) 58 / 1100

***

#3) 65 / 1300

***

I've been thinking about trying to increase it a little more but I haven't been too sure about going over 1000.

How are these settings working for you guys? Any problems with stability, overheating, poor battery Life?

:rolleyes:

Nandroid Backup

Has anybody made a nandroid backup with this new firmware, I have the 3.19 US firmware and I've made too many changes to revert back and upgrade to this firmware. It would be a huge help. :D
[Defy General] morr22066:
Playing with SetVsel

After looking at all of the different user posts on settings of course I had to play with it. So for the last 4 days I have tried as many variations on the settings as I could think of that still sounded reasonable.

I have also been using Android Assistant Startup Manager to manage the start up apps and free up RAM keeping it set at a 1 hour auto boost interval.

So far the best I have come across as far as batterly life, performance and good consistent Quadrant scores is:

#1) Vsel @ 33 / 300

#2) Vsel @ 48 / 600

#3) Vsel @ 58 / 1100

With the performance slider set at 65%, limit to VSel1 while screen is off and I ran the stability test for almost an hour with no problems.

My Quadrant scores are pretty consistently between the low 1200's and low 1300's, though one time I did get a 1360.

sorry my rom is "Version.34.0.117.MB525.Retail.en.GB"
[Defy General] morr22066:
Have you checked out the videos on YouTube? I tried it a few times without it working so I read the guides here in the forums and watched the videos, I still had to do it a few times but it helped. I eventually backed up everythign to my sd card the reset my phone to factory settings so that there were no anti-virus or other programs that may interfere with it and that is when I was able to finally get things working.

I also think it is a great idea but maybe we should ask everyone for some more info. This way we can create a complete package of info on the batteries. Because I would also like to know:

-Total battery time with type of use (low/moderate/high)

-size of the battery (does it fit or does it have to be 'tweaked' to fit propperly)

-recharging time

-battery decay (over months or something)

-other special characteristics of the battery

[Omnia II Themes and Apps] krazy_about_technology:
Hi Friends,

If you have been using a Samsung Omnia Pro or Omnia II for a while, you know what a pain in the *** is the Samsung's SMS/MMS application, also known as jinbox. This application is dead slow and takes huge amount of memory if left running. Almost 99% of the people I have seen want to get rid of it somehow.

In the past, some developers, including me, have released various fixes for this problem. For example, my Omnia Messaging Switcher application, which lets you switch between the native SMS system as well as Samsung messaging system. But all these utilities fail at one thing or another. You have to choose between either having faster, native SMS app and loosing MMS capability or keep both SMS and MMS functionality and take the pain of using that monstrous app.

Now here is a solution to all of your problems!

This small cab will install following fixes on your phone :

1. Your messaging application will be switched to Native Windows Application. The "Message" shortcut will point to this, and there will be a separate shortcut named "Samsung Messaging" for accessing the Samsung sh*t if you still want to use it for some reason.

2. In the SMS account, on clicking New, you will get 2 options instead of one: SMS or MMS. On creating SMS, the default Windows Native SMS composer will open just the way you like it. On creating MMS, the Samsung composer will open, without loading the whole Samsung Messaging App. The MMS sent and received by you will be perfectly visible in Sent Items/Inbox and perfectly editable/viewable, even in the threaded messaging view.

3. The E-Mail shortcut's icon will change to a better looking one and if you are on default settings, tapping it will show the list of email accounts to choose from.

All in all, it will seems to work just like it should smile.gif Let me know if you guys face any issues. Its working as it should on JC2/JE2 default and my custom roms, at least on my phone.

The reason were all here is to improve the performance and functionality of our devices isn't it?? These scores are posted by every reviewer, manufacturers are giving us more powerful processors with each new device. Kernels and overclock tools are a staple in the dev community.

Not here trying to improve on them
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
This. Even Cyanogen stated that the quadrant scores are fudged. I read his post somewhere, it had something to do with cheating on the I/O portion of the test.

My EVO with MIUI gets around 1750 and performs as good or better than when I was scoring 2600+ with cm6 and snap turbo.

Hey guys,,

i have a problem. i wanna root my phone via unrevoked and tried to install the HBOOT drivers. but when i plug in my phone the device manager doesn't name it as "Android 1.0" like it's shown in the tutorial, it is named "ADB". furthermore i can't install the hboot driver. any solutions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingsizeriz:
The hboot drivers are installed when in hboot on the phone

so power down, power up holding the volume down and power.

Then device should show up as android device

ADB is when the phone is in debugging mode.

If you install "PdaNetA245_intl" this will install the ADB driver and you can cancel installation before installing the full application.

Unrevoked should then work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Urool:
Thing is, i can't select "HBOOT" in this fastbootmenu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Turn the phone on holding the volume down button. This will boot you into HBOOT
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Urool:
ok I'll try.. just a moment
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Urool:
So now I am in this HBOOT-mode, where I have the options "Fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock".

but now my PC can't identify anymore. it seems... when I plug in my device , where HBOOT stands normally, turns into "HBOOT USB PLUG" but that returns to HBOOT very fast...

it worked after plugging it in for about the 10th time!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Urool:
sooo.... now I rebooted the phone activated debugging and plugged it back in.. now it recognizes it again as ADB and wants to install a new driver and unrevoked can't find it... how to go on?!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjexpat00:
Did you perform a wipe? Wipes are vital to maintaining a functional ROM. Time could also depend on the size of the ROM you flash, so it could take a while. If you have been waiting for +20 min, try to go old fashioned and push a stock onto your sd. Or you could go even more old fashioned and take out the sdcard and put the ROM onto it. Make sure the ROM is not corrupt
