I don't know where else to post this....I found this while looking for an alternative to the SPV Developers CellTracker app. It's an app called NiceTrack...the screenshots tell the rest of the story:
http://www.nicecuppa.com/nicetrack.asp
Background info: http://www.ascendingangels.com/nicecuppa.com/nicetrack.asp?story=1
Screenshots: http://www.ascendingangels.com/nicecuppa.com/nicetrack.asp?story=2
Download: http://www.ascendingangels.com/nicecuppa.com/nicetrack.asp?story=3 (Version 1.2)
The source code for that app can also be downloaded from the Background Info link.
The SPV Developers CellTracker app (Beta version only, hasn't been updated since December) for PocketPCs is located at the way bottom of the page:
http://www.thelogster.34sp.com/celltracker/
NiceTrack updates the tower changes in real-time whereas CellTracker does not. NiceTrack also shows the dbm signal strength on a cool chart and it also includes a logging function that allows you to rename the cells your phone has connected to while the app is active.
Signal strength chart: http://www.ascendingangels.com/nicecuppa.com/images/nicetrack/main-page.gif
Here are a couple hints based on my experience so far:
1) In order to fully save the renamed/logged cell sites, you must first tap Save next to where you renamed the cell site. Then you must also tap Options/Menu --> Save (extreme lower left) to save all changes since the app was launched.
2) Use Menu --> Exit to completely close the app.
I have tested this for use on my MDA II w/Windows Mobile 2003. I don't know if the app is compatible with WM5 PPCs or regular Windows Mobile smartphones.
Enjoy
Thanks for posting.
This software has been discussed before, and it is great:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3347&highlight=nicetrack
However, I believe people are having difficulty converting it to WM5 (when I last checked). But great stuff either way.

Hi there,
Sharpstuff (NiceTrack author) here..
I've just bought a T-Mobile MDA Vario and have managed to get it working on that ( WM2005 )
The problem was that in the older phones the GSM modem was on COM2 and on my Vario it's now COM9. I've made the Com port configurable now, but it's still not 100%.
You can download it from my site www.nicecuppa.net
Let me know how y'all get on.
Cheers

Good stuff sharpstuff Wish I had a gps!

Sharpstuff, you have an excellent app here. I had to search for a bit to find it but in the end, I'm quite glad to have it . I also like the pun you have for your site...it's quite distinctive since even as a German-American, I know when someone says "cuppa", they normally mean the cup of tea .
Keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to develop such a great and invaluable app .
oooh.. *bookmark*
Do you have a regular Donate button somewhere? I see the shop, but I'd rather just get X amount straight to you, and not have to be awoken by some crazy delivery guy at 8am for a mug
Thanks for the kind thought...
But, I enjoy doing this stuff, so just click my google ads and I'm happy!
;-)
Got this to work on my 8125, almost... Clicking on 'add' under events causes it to crash with the following error:
NiceTrack.exe
NullReferenceException
Application::Run+0xf
MainForm::Main+0xa
....bummer - so close!
You need to select an event type eg. "Flash backlight" then click "add"..
Needs some validation there.. Plus, the events side of things isn't very useful at the moment, I need to implement some more event types.
Cheers
I installed it on my qtek9100 but it doesn't find a GSM-modem at all.
Also a Qtek9100, EN - found it on COM9 just fine
What would be really neat would be an event "Show Picture". That way it would be easy to make a make-shift map tracking thing. Simply grab a picture of the map off the internet, plunge a big dot on the map where you got the cell, save as image, and have that image displayed when entering that cell %) GIF files on the storage card, shouldn't take up too much space
Alternatively a full-fledged mapping thing could be developed, but that's a lot more work *nod*
@sharpstuff hey I installed it on my XDA EXEC, but when it scans for com and reaches com9 it just freezes...any ideas?
Hi there,
I'm having some problems with the detection code, and general functionality on WM5.
I am looking into it and will post a new version up ASAP, sorry for the problems..
stop being sorry and add that donate button *keeps clicking google ads once a day but hopes google won't start ignoring his IP address for excessive clicking...*

So is Release 1.3b a partial fix for WM5 users? I installed it on my MDA II and it detects my modem on COM2 without any problems. Both 1.2 and 1.3 seem to work on WM2003 PPCs.
http://www.nicecuppa.net/
http://www.nicecuppa.com/download/NiceTrack_Release_1_3.zip
TIA
Yep, it's an intermediate release. Basically, it reminds the user on startup to set the Com port in settings
I'm working on v1.4 at present, this has more error checking on the GSM code, and multi-threaded com port detection so the whole app doesn't hang
For what it's worth - it seems to randomly lock up on me - requires an 'end task'. Sometimes when this happens, and I try to fire it back up again, I just get an empty message box dialog; no title, just the close button.

Hi folks,
let me first explain why I made this code:
I have a Universal and an Audi A4 with integrated BT-Handsfree. I normaly use a plantronics headset with my UNI.
Now when I'm in my car and I switch off my headset, the UNI connects to the car's handfree unit.
Somehow the UNI and the Audi Handsfree doesn't play well together and sometimes there where connection problem during voice calls. This behaviour made me think about what the problem can be and I detected that if I switch off bluetooth on my UNI and then reenable it everything is fine. When I then leave the car and turn on my headset I had the same problem. The headset was not able to reconnect to the UNI until I turned off and reenabled bluetooth on my Universal.
I was unsatisfied with the fact that I had to go through the bluetooth settings everytime when I just want to toggle the bluetooth mode and so I worte the attached code.
Now to the program itself:
The cab installs btIO.exe to \Program Files\btIO and creates a shortcut in the autostart folder.
After starting it resides in the tray. It has three icons:
Green BT-Icon = BT is enabled and discoverable
White BT-Icon = BT is enabled and connectable (non discoverable)
Red BT-Icon = BT is switched off
You can toggle between connectable and OFF by simply clicking the icon.
If you tap'n'hold the icon a menu appears and lets you choos between all modes.
That's it.
I'm aware that there are other programs like this, but this one fit's my needs and thus I thought I share it with others.
Enjoy it, it's freeware.

Smartphone version of btIO just released
Hi folks,
on popular demand I created a version of btIO for Smartphones.
It's currently not as "feature rich" as the ppc version. However, it does simply what it should, it switches the bluetooth radio to different states.
- initial release
- Unzip and simply copy the exe file to your smartphone
- Uppon execution it will lookup the current bluetooth state and change it and notify you of the new state
- If current BT state is OFF it will switch it to CONNECTABLE
- If current BT state is CONNECTABLE it will switch it to DISCOVERABLE
- If current BT state is DISCOVERABLE it will switch it off
There is no indication icon, nor is it running in the background and eating ressources. You simly execute it, it changes the BT state and exits...
That's it. I think it should be called by some kind of launcher or via shortcut...
If you think you have a good idea for improvement or found a bug, just drop me a line or post here.
Get it from here: http://www.silentservices.de/btIO.html
As always: Enjoy, it's freeware
cheers
i can recommend this as VERY good batterystatus bt icon replacement.

Fine app mate.
Can you give some explanation on all the other features when I pop up the menu? Tried a number of them without getting any response, so don't know how the others work, except for the first few selections.
Thanks.

The PPC version has the following options (I'll drop the first 3):
- Audio2BT
Routes the device-audio to the bluetooth device (headset or handsfree).
NOTE: This is not meant to work for A2DP connections.
- Audio2Device
Returns the audio back to the device
- AudioGWCCON
Establishes a gateway control channel with the bluetooth device. This means that a connection to the headset or handsfree is established, but audio is currently not routed. If you are afraid about battery drain, you can close the GCC with the next option. This will not prevent the proper function of your headset or handsfree, it will just take a second on an incoming call until the connection is established again. You can accomplish permanent power saving with a registry option under:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway and set PowerSave to 1 and make a softreset
This setting will automaticly close the control channel after each call.
- AudioGWCCOFF
Closes the gateway control channel to save battery power
- BTSettingsCPL
Goes to the Bluetooth settings control panel
Excellent Program
Thanks...this is a wonderful program for my p3300. I no longer have to use BlueMusic to send music to my BT set. Good set of controls. I like it very much and strongly recommended.
Foods for thoughts: can we removed the exit command from the menu? Why does anyone want to exit this wonderful program is beyond me.
Can we have the menu popup when the icon is clicked? Right now, we have to press and hold for the menu. These are just comestic inputs only.
Thanks...HaiLe...

You're welcome mate,
well about the exit button: If I'll drop it, one will need to have a taskmanager to colse the app. I personaly "hate" programs that don't give me the option to be closed.
About the popup: btIO is meant to give a speedy way to enable or disable bluetooth. Thus, if you tap the icon bluetooth will be switched to CONNECTABLE (but invisble). If you click it again bluetooth will be disabled. This is the reason why you have to tap'n'hold to get the rest of the options. I can implement something that you might be able to change this behaviour with a registry entry.
I have a new version (0.6) in the pipe which has some new features for audio control. It will let you choose between mute, vibrate and on. I implemented this because I got myself a HERMES and wanted a quick way to control audio with the jog-wheel. It also changes the popup menu. Items can now be checked instead of having double options for ON and OFF.
Will be released soon.
btIO v0.6 and WiFiIO v0.2 for testers is out
Folks,
I've just put version 0.6 for PPC2003 and WM5 online. Both are for Pocket PC only.
Version for PPC2003 is here:
http://www.silentservices.de/btIO-0.6-PPC2003.cab
Version for WM5 is here:
http://www.silentservices.de/btIO-0.6-WM5.cab
The only difference is that the WM5 version also has options for Mute/Vibrate/SND-ON. I've found no reference for doing the same for 2003 devices so currently sound control is not available for 2003 devices.
New features:
- Changed the menu: Now there are checkable items instead of 2 items for ON/OFF
- Added SpeedToggle function:
-- If SpeedToggle is enabled btIO behaves like before. Means: tapping on the icon will switch BT ON/OFF, tap'n'hold will display the menu.
-- If SpeedToggle is disabled and you tap on the trayicon the menu appears. If you tap'n'hold it will switch ON/OFF
The second app I put online is wifiIO, which is the same like btIO just for the WiFi interface. The initial release had a bug which led to a high cpu load when wifi was on and the device went into sleep mode. This is fixed so it should now be save to use it.
It will work for the following two WiFi NICs:
TIACXWLN
TNETWLN
wifiIO is currently working on the following devices (as I'm aware of):
HTC Hermes with WM5/6
HTC Athena with WM5/6
It is NOT working on the following device:
HTC Wizard
HTC Prophet
You can find WiFiIO here:
http://www.silentservices.de/wifiIO-0.5.cab
Read more on wifiIO here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1561339&postcount=65
Please report back if everthing is working as expected.

hello c0rnholio,
great little utilities. extremely handy. 1 request, can you add 1 more menu item to set audio to a2dp? that will make this bt tool complete! Thanks.
Hello,
i tried the wifiIO on my htc prophet and gullum prophet touch wm6 vii rom and it didnt work. Keep getting the error message "Sorry, no WLAN Hardware found"
I am pretty sure my prophet is using the TNETWLN NIC. Help. i am well impressed by these small utilities.

Hi
(1)
I dont like annoying sound of opening/closing Start menu or choosing a menui item. To avoid it, I have to uncheck "Events (warning, system events)" item in Sounds&Notifications screen. However then I miss sound of warnings and system events I guess. How to disable sound for Start menu only?
(2)
When I ActiveSync with Exchange, ActiveSync keeps synchronizing endlessly. Its status is "Looking for changes", then "Synchronizing" and the same again and again without any limit. I just synchronize emails from Outlook folders. No matter if "DirectPush" or "Synchronize during"="When new items arrive" is turned on/off.
(3)
On the forums, BatteryStatusExt1.04.cab is being distributed. It doesn't work. I wonder what the file actually is. Original BatteryStatus tool has another filename and version as well.
(4)
smsOrganizer needs to activate using code from authors web. If you make a mistake (thats what I PROBABLY did), it will never run, even after reinstalling. Not nice. I can just wonder in what file or regkey the author stores the key:/
(5)
htCustom tool (tested version 1.4 and 1.5) completely not functional, throwing exceptions everywhere.
(6)
Any plugins to see Herald files in FAR manager (preferable) or Total Commander?
(7)
Any idea how to import VCF containing more items (not just one)? Seems Windows and Nokias have this problem. I already splitted one big VCF to 300 small VCFs and wonder how I'm going to import them. Clicking on them will take years..
(8)
My VCFs which Im going to import contain more mobile phones. Windows generally doesnt support it. In the address book, there is no option to add new field like on Symbians. How do you solve this situation? What do you do if you want to store more mobile phones? Of course lot of people have more mobile phones!
(x)
Why you use Rapidshare to store files? Please don't support those ****!
Great phone anyways. I dont care about money and this is the best phone I could find. Nasty size, high stability (wow, no single crash), fast synchronization, freaky keyboard (with sym.txt to be easily altered). Very happy with it
any hints??
Well i got you a hint for the last point (rapidshare):
Use http://www.xirror.com
Uploads all your files to 4 Sharedhoster automatically.

no thanks, I actually DONT want to support ANY of filehosting services. I strictly say NO to making business from sharing files. Use torrents or whatever instead.
any help for other points (except 3 which I found out why)?
more points
what i found negative also is
- alarm can use only WAV files (no chance to wake up)
- M$ formats forced (WMAs everywhere, no details about MP3 songs in Info)
- regurarly, when i type with hw keyboard, arrows stop to work
- sometimes storage card disappears (+ had "StorageCard2" problem)
- low quality loudspeaker, people just cant hear me
- use a program
- use coreplayer
- not true

- ok im using a huge slow tool now, just to set the system scheduler...
- no problem
- true, even with remote control from Windows desktop, arrows stop working after some typing
- true, every morning, my scheduled events dont happen because the storage card is missing. but actually i see it's working, even if the drive is not corrupted (also happens sometimes)
- true, very bad speaker and microphone. loudspeaker is screaming and you actually dont hear voice. also people hear twice. also people dont hear you well generally. also, even with quietspeaker, people can hear you properly.
To your first problem I think all you have to do is uncheck screen taps. I had the same problem with activesync also. The problem turned out to be my firewall. Had to turn it off in order for the device to sync even if i set a permission first.
And if your still using WM5 I found this in the wiki:
Improve Sound Quality of Speaker Phone
You might have observed that when you turn on speaker while during a call, the other person has complained of too much disturbance on the line and can hear more of static then your voice. Here's a fix to improve mic sensitivity:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
where (x) = none, 0, 1, 2
You can find most of the reg edits from HTCustom and just do em yourself.

Heres the actual e-mail pertaining to the activesync problem. This can also be found on the Microsoft Website.
Good afternoon
We are aware of the HTC P4350 memory card corruption problem Farooq. We believe that Windows Mobile 6 will fix this issue that you are experiencing. We are expecting this update to be available for download through the HTC eClub on our website at the end of July.
With regards to your ActiveSync problem, there are many things which could be causing active sync to not synchronise
with your computer. One possible cause could be your anti-virus software and
your firewall.
To solve firewall issues, please open up your firewall program and navigate to
the exceptions section. Here you can set the firewall to allow certain programs
and ports. You will need to make sure your firewall is set to "allow
exceptions", then in the allowed programs list you will need to have four
programs related to active sync allowed. the filenames are as follows, however
they may be called different names in this list.
wcesmgr.exe
wcescomm.exe
rapimgr.exe
astu.exe
Also you will need to allow the following ports:
Inbound TCP
990
999
5678
5721
26675
Outbound UDP
5679
Once these ports and programs have been added to the exception list, you should
find that Active Sync will now work with your computer. If you are still
experiencing problems, then try disabling your anti-virus software as this can
sometimes conflict with Active Sync. If you still cannot synchronise then
please phone our call centre and one of our agents can troubleshoot your setup
with you in order to solve this issue.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Best regards,

Hope that helps.
neptune, thank you very much for your reply. i have fixed most of my issues (they start with √).
(1) of course i have "screen tap" off, but Start menu still beeps loudly!
(2) √ FIXED somehow the problem disappeared - maybe by altering AllowLSP reg value, which was required to route internet from home PC to PPC.
(3) √ FIXED
(4) √ OBSOLETE - i dont care, will not search for some registry key to use the tool
(5) √ OBSOLETE still crashing - will not use the tool. I use ASergOptimize pack instead.
(6) would like to know. I heard TC plugin exists.
(7) √ OBSOLETE: i did it manually. it was really complicated job with lot of hacks, using regexp search/replace and manual import of all contacts one by one. I wish I never change platform again...
(8) √ OBSOLETE: again lot of hacking, I mapped Symbian fields to funny Outlook fields (e.g. "Mobile 2" -> "Car", "Mobile 3" -> "Radio")
(a) √ OBSOLETE I will use some tool. (I hate using separate tool for alarm. Why Windows doesnt have normal one.. I tried Gentimer tool, very slow one, crashing my phone on each event!)
(b) √ OBSOLETE - will use some tool
(c) BIG PROBLEM 1 arrows!!!
(d) BIG PROBLEM 2 morning schedules!!!
(e) wow thanks for this, will try it
overall, transfer from Symbian to Windows is not easy... a lot of work I had to do... however I feel much happier with it.
one note: interestingly, i find WM programs to be very small and take very small memory!
I sometimes had the same problem with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Maybe you can fix the problem temporary if you switch to the Todayscreen and back again to your application where you type. For me this fixed it most of the time.
Dont know if i only was lucky because i did not got the problem often.

Dont know if i only was lucky because i did not got the problem often.

I get this problem very often, basically when I type any SMS and that's not acceptable.. It can happen several times when writing one SMS. That's toooo much. I want it to be fixed somehow..
never encountered a keyboard problem such as this in the past. If you havent tried changing the keyboard then i'm not sure what it is.
never had any of the issues written about here with my p4350
either with wm5 or wm6
maybe I have missed something, but have you guys tried the wm5 ruu update for p4350? (http://www.brightpoint.com/Brightpo...HTC_NOR_5.4.409.2_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe)
thats a norwegian ruu, but im sure you can get it from your provider..or wait for the wm6
sorry if im stating the obious here
Route Tracker
With Route Tracker you can create routes and add several route points containing text and/or images from your current position. If gps is available it will take the current longitude, latitude and altitude. Without a gps module information of the current cell id and the location area code are saved.
For each route a report can be created which can be saved as a html file.
prerequisites:
PocketPC with .net compact framework 2.0 and SQL Compact Server 2005 (already installed in WM6 professional)
(tested on a WM6 professional device without gps)
known issues:
after uninstall the db and the images will not be deleted
getting MyLocation can time out
timer greater than ~15 seconds doesn't word when device is in suspend mode
in the view form only the map type for default route maps is working
next features:
automatic point adding by distance (every x meters)
more robust MyLocation
geo game (show taken image and try to find the place on the map)
Any comments are appreciated.
version 1.0.5
new view showing the whole route in one image using Google Maps (markers or path)
this view can be saved to an image file
check its settings form for parameters
version 1.0.4
new setting: Use Google's MyLocation for report GMaps and for exporting to kml. On devices without gps the cell id information will be used to get an approximate location. (default on and will use internet connection!)
version 1.0.3
new report "GMaps" using google maps (will try to use internet connection!)
updated date set to last saved route point
additional setting: Flash on Saving (flash on main screen)
version 1.0.2
additional settings: check gps, vibrate on saving
saving settings: seconds, minutes and vibrate on saving
show time with date in the grid
version 1.0.1
A report can be saved to kml for viewing in google maps.
In Menu/Auto Report... timed saving can be activated.
Thanks,
heliosdev
Anybody tried?
Would be interesting to know if the gps information gets stored and if there are any issues on devices with qwerty hardware keyboard (regarding screen rotation).
Thanks!
New version is up. If you have difficulties with the gps data, try to start gps with another app and after having enough sat fixes try Route Tracker.
Nice now this app work, but here some ideas:
A Sign that shows a record was made
Start Time on the main screen
Show Cell ID or GPS is used
Other Ideas will follow
Thanks for the input! New version is up.
very cool! i will be certainly using it.

It works on my Diamond without any problem.
Great but here some Ideas:
Show the last position time in the grid (Last position time saved at
Vibrate is good, but better would it if you make a flashing dot on the main screen because if you use it in a carholder its not so go.
(Or you can add vibrate too under settings)
And Upload direct the cab file, its easier to use!
Thx and work on!
didn't work on my vogue - got a net framework error.
@all
thanks for your input!
@fredcatsmommy
what is the error message saying? Can you go to menu/settings and press the 'Check GPS' button?

okay, here's the message I get when trying to run RouteTracker (which does not open at all):
Error
RouteTracker.exe
MissingMethodException

Well, it looks like sql is not installed on your device! I've seen cooked roms which removed this to save some space...
What .net version do you have installed? (run /Windows/cgacutil.exe)

I'm using the ppckitchen to cook a custom rom and have included both sql, 3.5 supposed to be included and I also select .netcf 2. Maybe that's a problem, but I've not ever gotten that message with any of the other programs I use that require .netcf. When I run /Windows/cgacutil.exe it says 2.0.7045.0
Will this work with .NET 3.5 or only 2.0?
I get this error using the ROM in my sig and SQLce 3.5 added.
Code:
An unexpected error has occurred in RouteTracker.exe.
Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.
File or assembly name 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3', or one of its dependencies, was not found.
Here a new Idea
Make a Today Plugin that shows CELL ID, LAC, MCC, MNC or GPS and a count down. It shows new recorde made in xx.xx.xx (ex. 00:00:10 = 10 sek.)
Well, I'm using C# .net and I'm not sure if this can be used for today plugin development.
Btw, new version is up!
new version is up!
Tests with devices without gps are appreciated! (internet connection needed)
(report GMaps and save report (in Report form) to kml and view it with google maps/earth on desktop)
Nice,
works fine!
But can you set a dot on mylocation?
Like here http://cellid.schlapa.net
Also show the cellID data on the Gmaps Screen.
Thx wait for next versions ...

Hi thanks for this app!!!!
Is it possible to get bigger screen shots ?
Thanks dude
Hello all!
I started a new project named OpenCellClient. This application is a scanner for the open service http://www.opencellid.org. This project wants to create a complete database of CellID worldwide, with their locations.
This is very useful for a lot of things, working like a "second GPS", for devices without build in GPS receiver.
More than this, RemoteTracker (version 0.3.0-0 and above) can use this database when the GPS receiver could not find the signal, or if the device does not have this radio inside.
Thinking about the great help this project gives to us, I decide to contribute creating a client for Windows Mobile.
How it works? Start the application and go walk, drive or whatever you want do to outside. You GPS will be turned on and the software will scan for cell towers. Each tower found is stored with their coordinate. You don't need to stay connected to internet spending money transfering data to the opencellid website. You can send the collected data later, in your home, work or any wifi spot. After that, you can make searchs using opencellid web site. And we can't forget: this location will be used by RemoteTracker too.
If you want to give a try, please go to http://opencellclient.sourceforge.net and download the cab file.
Requirements:
- .NET CF 3.5;
- SQLServerCE 3.5.
Keep OpenCellClient up to date!
There is an integration with AppToDate. This application verify if configured softwares are up to date or not. If not, you are alerted, and invited to download the new version! Very cool and useful.
You can download AppToDate here.
After install AppToDate, please download and run OpenCellClient to configure AppToDate.
Try this and don't forget a new version never more!
--> It is a work in progress. In future versions I will make a lot more.

looks great thanks for the contribution! i'm getting ready to download it now.
I drive a lot and i'll be more than happy to contribute for France ID's
Very good
Please don't forget this is my first version and may have bugs. If you find one (or more, of course), let me know!
Cheers,
Joubert
Alas, I am not on GSM, but it is fantastic to see you continue to put out fantastic open-source code and tools. Keep up the great work... RT will be built into my ROM always!
Very nice! Will try it on my way to work.
Question: Will it continue to scan when I 'close' the applciation, i.e. put it in the background and use the phone for other tasks, like - äh - doing a phone call or, surfing the web, etc?
Another application using GPS in longer intervals to conserve the battery found out that the initial fixes after the GPS was powered up again (after 3 secs of no GPS usage, the GPS powers down) can be off a bit. I need to check what they did.

Ok, I found a small problem: Although WiFi is enabled and a cell is found, the 'Sent to OpenCellID' menu entry is grayed out.
Klaus
Question: Does the API actually give you the Cells 'in view' or only the cells the device is connected to? Because the first would only give you the cells of your provider and not those of competitors.
Although, I understand this would be out of your control, as it happens behind the scenes.
Klaus
How can I send the collected date to the website? This part is always grayed out and not selectable? Still a bug?

When I exit the app, WiFi gets disabled.
I do have the impression the app stops logging when send to the background, or when the device goes to sleep.
Furthermore my device reacts very sluggish when the app is running in the background.
I hope this feedback helps.

Hi!
This option would be grayed ONLY if your device is not a GSM device. I will release a new version without this rule. I think the test I did is not the same for all devices.

The API I used only show me the tower I'm connected. I didn't search for triangulation, but it would be a good idea.

Hi Klaus!
There is a debug option you can turn on. With this option the program create a txt file with debug information you could send to me.
Thank you for your tests

I have tested OpenCellClient and have found the following issues:
1. When I am closing the program with the x-Button (top right corner), OpenCellClient is still visible in the process list and use 1,74M of RAM (visible with TaskManager). When closing with the Exit-Button (down right corner) everything is fine. The process/application is not visible in the Taskmanager.
2. When closing the application the WiFi will be disabled also (already found by other users). The debug-Log does not say anything about WiFi.
3. When enabling WiFi (registry key: wifi) the application crashs after starting the scan process. I know that wifi is not yet enabled, but I have tried it .
I have also 2 wishes:
1. I can change the width of the columns, but after restarting the application I have to change the width again. It is possible to save the width of the columns ?
2. All new CellIds should be visible at the beginning of the list, not at the end.

I have a little remark on the way it works.
Currently, when i click start, it opens the table with cell IDs, starts finding etc. Then i click Send and it brings me back to the welcome screen with the progress bar, ok. But after that i'm unable to go back to the table without stopping and restarting
I'd rather have some kind of tabs so i could swap between screens at will, if possible
Otherwise it worked fine, i sent around 50 different IDs today, no problems so far.
