Does anyone know of a GPRS Traffic Counter that works with the universal ?
Found this one :- http://www.all-locations.com/ but doesn't support WM 5
Really don't want to have any nasty suprises then I open my bill
Thanks
Rob
Hi!
SPB GPRS Monitor2 is given with Qtek9000 and works fine...
When is there a program gonna be released with the name:
UMTS traffic Counter
(or even HSDPA traffic Counter)

Dear forum members,
Soon I am going to run the marathon. I have a portable bluetooth enabled Navman GPS antenna which works fine with the Qtek 2020. Does anyone know of a software that can obtain the current GPS position and send it in a certain format using GPRS / SMS to a site that can format this and plot it onto a map? In that way, people can see where I am on the route - live.
If this software does not exist - would it be an idea for some of you software dev. guys? :lol:

Actually, I'm working on just such a software!
It will be a application running on a PPC which will send GPS position, altitude speed and direction to a Web Service via GPRS.
I'll also working on a plugin-in for MapPoint that will get data from the Web Service and plot it on the map.
Not sure when it will be finished though.
When are you goint to run the marathon?
We currently use XDAs & GPS/GPRS to track our couriers around the UK. Their positions are then viewable on either an internal map or the internet.
However, the system is bespoke. As the previous poster, when/where is your marathon? May be able to help.

Uhh.. sounds nice Bonn (Germany) in April next year is the time and place.
Thanks for the replies.
I currently have an O2 XDA2s and am considering switching to the Wizard for the larger, more legible keyboard (who at O2 came up with the idea of pairing a blue backlight with turquoise special characters on the xda2s keyboard!!?), a higher resolution camera and what I hope will be (based on reading the Magician Forum) a better overall integration of features.
I use my device for business and so receive a lot of "real time" e-mail via our GoodLink service and do a fair amount of teleconferencing.
One of the limitations of the current collection of devices is that when yu are on the phone, no e-mails are received. As soon as you hang up, they all start to download/ be pushed to the device.
In reading about the dula processor architecture on the Wizard, it raised the question of whether the Wizard would be capable in theroy, or better yet practice! :wink: of receiving and displaying an e-mail while you are on the phone..??
Does anyone know or care to offer an opinion?
Regards
Chris
If youre receiving the emails by GSM/ GPRS then while you are in a phonecall you wont be able to receive them... however, maybe if you can use WiFi simultaneously with GSM you might be able to.
Hi ShALLaX
Many thanks. That's the same as the Blue Angel then... Interesting idea about the wi fi connection though... I will try that and see if it works on my xda 2s. Will let you know.
Wonder if the Universal will have the capability, as it appears its using a separate 3G modum for data..?
Regards
chris
Well some good news here is that you can indeed send and receive e-mails via wi fi at the same time as being on the phone.
So the moral of the story is.... always do your teleconferences from Starbucks¡
Heheh, good job!
As far as I know...the GPRS class in both BlueAngel and Wizard supports calls and GPRS activity at the same time. But the GSM network you are connected to must allow it. None of the networks here in Norway allows it

Hi t0flus
Thats very interesting... that must be why it does not work in the us either.... I will be interesting to see if the wizard behaves any differently. Will hopefully be able to try it out in a couple of weeks

I can confirm that the Jam does this , as my TomTom GPS accepts calls while updating Traffic info over GPRS. Hope this helps.

I think you experiencing a delayed reaction. The data must have been recieved before the call began, but was only rendered on the screen after the call was started.
The ability to receive data and use voice at the same time is dependent on the type of modem. In order to do it the device must have a class "A" modem. PPC Phone Edition devices use class"B" modems. Class "B" only allows one at a time, either voice or data.

Not sure, all I know is as part of the setup with TomTom 700 it asks you if you want to recieve calls and access Internet at the same time. I chose this option and it seems to work. Well I've had no problems yet.

Here is a link that explains it. Scroll down till you see the explanation for class B. All Pocket PC Phone Edition devices that I know of use class B modems.

No GSM Network in the world allows simultaneous GSM call and GPRS - the technology can't do it (at least what's in operation can't).
In UMTS land, you typically get allocated 128kbps of bandwidth... during a call, 64kbps is reserved for voice/video, and 64 is available for data download.
So to answer your question - yes in UMTS land, yes with wifi as the data bearer
Thanks Southern Man! Where have you been?... and where is that new O2 UK !.40 ROM with the Blackberry client for the xda2s? :wink:

Hi all,
I got rid of mine P990 and got myself this amazing tytn.I was wondering if
there is a program which shows gprs connection status and data usage?
Thanks in advance
The defacto standard program that I know of is SPB GPRS Monitor. It's a great piece of software and one of the only ones available. The other that's far less popular (based on dl's and google search ranking - not customer rating) is All-Locations GPRS Monitor. As far as I know it does the same with only minor differences in graphics. An alternative to both is using the data "add-on" in phonealarm - haven't tried it but looks like it has alot of potential.
SPB GPRS Monitor works great.
It came with my previous QTek 9100 and my current Vario 2. I don't know if HTC branded devices come with it too, but check on your CDs that came with it.
I wonder why there isn't any software that count the traffic when I use my Pocket PC as a laptop modem...
PhoneAlarm
Check out PhoneAlarm from www.pocketmax.net, it give you more then just data monitor, you got multiple phone profiles, call min monitor and more.
I'm using Smartphone gprs monitor myself on my M3100, works fine and you can just set your start billing date and let it get on with it.
The link to it is http://www.efficasoft.com/gprsmonitorppc.html...
I also use a little util to stop any data traffic unless I actually mean to use it.. such as accidently connecting to the net.. Also usefull to stop roaming connections on gprs (big bills) (Got it off MODACO forum)
Hope that helps
Thank you all for your help
hi all,
is it possible to switch gprs on and off ?

when the gprs is in the off mode the phone itself must work.
please can some body help me ? thanks in advance

I assume you are using WM5, if not, I don't know if the settings are the same with WM6, haven't got the guts to try it on my Apache XV6700.
You can always turn off the EVDO and always stay on 1X whenever you need it, and change it back to Hybrid when you need to use both EVDO & 1X.
Start - Settings - Phone - Services - (Scroll Down to) Mode of Operation - Select EVDO (for EVDO Only) or Hybrid (for EVDO & 1X).
I wish there's some kind of batch file script or macro script that can simulate our taps... well it's like 7 taps away to change the mode of operation, not to mention waiting the device to soft reset.
