Anyone who knows more about "LocationSMS" - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

This cool app could be found in the ETEN X500. Does anyone know if it is possible to get it to work on other units?

what does this app do?

As I understand from screenshots (http://smartmania.mobilmania.cz/index.php?ind=reviews&op=entry_view&iden=158) appends current GPS location to SMS message.

Yep, that is what it does. I wonder if it is possible to get the same function while connected to a BT GPS?

I remember reading up here that somebody had installed an app to their X1 that enables GPS so that the position of the phone can be located if its lost or stolen? Whats the name of the app and where can I get it from?

Tell me if it's work for you...

Appears to be good, installed it myself.
or you can just use google map now... it will track your phone wherever you go...

I'm seriously looking at this app because it offers you the chance to nuke the information on the device as well as lock it out and locate it.
If you're REALLY smart, you configure it and cook it into a ROM so that it will even survive a hard reset.
ok thanks for all the help everybody... now i don't know which one to pick lol
there is also MaspWare GuardMobile, with remote commands by sms to lock, get location, soft and hard reset.....

Geo-tagging photos

Does anyone geo-tag their HD photos? I can't find a way to enable it in camera settings.
I had to download an app to enable it on my TyTNII.
Can't find anything by searching this forum or Googling
You can enable it with HDTweak, as far as i remember
Brilliant! Thanks
I have enabled the option in HD Tweak, and have even tried Shozu and locr, but even with a GPS lock, it doesn't seem to save the GPS data to the photo.
I'm using the Orange ROM, and don't really want to reflash it just to make this work with the hacked footprints tab, so has anyone got any ideas?
TIA
My problem is GPS doesn't start.
I've been using the free GPSToday (www.geoterrestrial.com) and their GeoTagger plugin which monitors your photo directory. When it sees a new file it tries to get a GPS fix and then embeds the location in the file. So far it's worked flawlessly.
Can you try uploading one of the photos it's tagged too google picasa to see if it can see the gps data and map the piccy please?
So far, these things tell me they are tagging them, but when you upload them, it's not tagged.
locr and shozu both work flawlessly on my N95, so I know the platforms and google picasa work.
I attached a GPS photo taken with my HD (bike trip with my girlfriend ) with the 'GPS-photo' option. I'm absolutly sure it has GPS info in it, because I upload all my pictures to Flickr, where they automaticly show up on the map at the right location. Good luck
*EDIT* When uploading a photo as attacment to the XDA forum, all GPS data is stripped. So here's a direct link to download the original file:
http://www.fittingmedia.nl/divers/GPS_011.jpg
Just tried uploading one of my photos tagged with GPSToday to PicasaWeb and it's recognised the GPS data perfectly. Here's the photo
http://picasaweb.google.com/apcd2apcd2/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCLr5tdy08-bb9wE&feat=directlink
Very simple but you have to edit the registry.
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
and set the value of "Enable" to 1
Thank you'll find a new camera mode in the standard HTC camera program that is "GPS". It activates and deactivates the GPS automatically.
Enjoy
Do you guys want to have gps info on all photos or what? I didn't get the point.
Touch HD Camera has a "GPS Photo" mode..which can be selected manually by going in to "advance" options in the "camera mode" .
right clicking on the image on windowsXP and checking the image property doesn't show the GPS info..but if opened with any other viewer..XNview..lightroom..photoshop.. in EXIF data u can see the GPS info.
so please tell me whats the point of using tweakers to enable GPS tagging? or i'm missing somethig

Not on some stock ROM images, such as mine.
I personally choose to use it because when I share photos online, with things such as Picasa Web, it shows people on a map where the pictures were taken.
No real serious use for me, but it's a little more info for people, and you can also view public galleries and it will display all pictures taken in a certain area.
EDIT: OK I found the option, everywhere I looked and in PM's people were telling me to look in advanced settings for this, it's actually an option on the 2nd page of "Capture Mode" and not in settings, or an advanced tab at all. No wonder I couldn't see it lol.

The tweak is necessary to enable the GPS photo button in the advance tab when using a stock ROM
How long does it take for you to take a photo this way? Mine just says "starting gps" and nothing happens. I even tried waiting 3-4 minutes, the time it takes Garmin XT Mobile to get the gps signal here, but nothing.
i get the point now! i bought blackstone with a diff language than i'm using ..and installed cooked rom straightaway.. so i didn't know the diff(to the minor details) b/w a stock rom and a cooked one. Sorry for taking things as granted!
thnx ppl for the info!

It takes about 10 to 30 seconds, depending on where I'm standing. It indeed should take about the same time as Garmin.
But 3 to 4 minutes is a LONG time for any GPS app to get a fix... If you get that working right, GPS-Photo will probably work fine too.

- Well, offcourse the obvious. Try it outside, with no high buildings etc. around you and that sort of things.
- Then, try to update QuickGPS with new satelite info (makes a lot of difference).
- DISABLE AGps. Does more harm then good.
- Maybe try a different radio. I'm using 1.12 and get very quick GPS fixes. Faster then 1.9 and 1.10.
Let us know how it turns out!
Anyone know any thing new on any effort to port Footprints to Blackstone? all posts are a bit old. there's a standalone that sorta works on Blackstone but the resolution is wrong so text is misaligned and its not very usable. anyone made any headway at porting it to a tab or at least a usable standalone? It would REALLY rock if anyone could port it to an manila v3 tab!!! i'd donate for the effort. sure many would!

I can't do that cause i still don't know how to backup the original radio. I would like to backup everything i need for warranty sake. I posted a thread here, but got no answers. I know it's all been explained here, but it's just too confusing. I know how to backup ROM, but i need to know what else i need to backup an HOW, before i flash a new radio and ROM.
The current device info is:
ROM: 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE
ROM DATE: 11/12/08
RADIO: 1.09.25.14
PROTOCOL: 52.49a.25.26U

I did all you said, and nothing helped. However, i did notice this - i started Garmin, got a lock in a matter of seconds (after i did the fast GPS thing, so i'm guessing Garmin is using that), turned it off and geotagging worked instantly. So, i'm guessing camera has a problem using quick GPS or starting GPS by itself. Any ideas on this?

Lock 2.0

Anyone have any issues? I have been having problems with it sometimes locking up the notification screen as well as the send call functions. (That is neither will work).
May find an answer here

Activate WiFi, update Manila weather, Disable Wifi [Looking for solution]

Hi,
I'd like to create a script or application to enable Wifi, update manila weaher (or do any other operation e.g. download mails, etc) and finally disable Wifi.
If a can product a mortscript or a command line app for this, I could use it with Wifilocations to define rules for home gsm cell, workplace gsm cell (where wifi available).
Are there any ideas or solutions for this?
Yes, I used search button, but didn't find anything.
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure mortscript can do this. You might want to read up on it.
Hi
Search at pocketpc[dot]ch for "zeitgesteuertes-wetterupdate".
There is a complete MortScript solution.
But I'm still searching for the command-file.
Any solution? c# code, mortscript, shortcut with params?

I can try to program a little app for you, but I need to know what version of manilla you have. (do you mean you want a tool to activate wifi, update the weather tab and then desactivate wifi, yes ?)

phone calls registers

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to print or send to an excel file the list of calls made or received?
Another thing, is there a way to control the time of ONLY calls that you've made? If I go to the calls counting (in Portuguese "Contadores de Chamadas") I have the registry of ALL calls made and received. I can't control the time that I've spent where I've started the call (that can be very useful if you have minutes to spend), I only know the time spent on the phone.
Thanks in advance
I am also looking for a way

And this app will work on WM6.5? I've made a google search and the last version found was 2.0.1 and I see that this application was made in 2007

Yes it does !

I'm using this program now for some years, and it works perfectly on almost all WM versions !
I started with WM2003 and now on my Mega with WM6.5 it still works perfectly !
My present version is 2.0.1.

The program works very well for the Mega.
But how to save the call log (Call log) on a PC?

It's strange... I've download it and installed it, but the program doesn’t appear anywhere!
I’ve searched on all programs but nothing…
And I’m sure it’s installed because it appears on the “uninstall programs” as HudsonMobile PhoneDashboard.
Any suggestions?
Did you the following ?
As far as I remember, it was necessary to make a softreset on this program after installation.
Otherwise it's depending on your user interface, what you need to do.
For sure you can find the program either in the directory "programs" or a localized name e.g.
in german "Programme"
and a link in the following directory "windows/autostart".
If its not there, you need to make a link to there.
Regards
cimber

Cause to view it you need to disable TouchFLO and turn on Phone Dashboard.(settings/today/Items)
Phone Dashboard is a plugin "naked" today screen.
Unless you use an alternative overlay interface f.ex.SPB MShell-then simply tap the "show today".
Alternative:ShellSwitcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675903

Please elucidate me
First I install the Phone.Dashboard.Minute.Tracker, then when I need to use it I have to change from TouchFlo to Phone Dashboard?
But if I use the TouchFlo the program is working and registering all, right? To see it I only need to turn TouchFlo off, right? Or I can no longer use TouchFlo?
Don't exist another program to control the time used in calls that don't need all this? I think is something so simple compared to other things that WM can do...
Thanks

I don't like or dislike touchLFO... I don't know or ever used something else to know if it's better or worst. I had a Nokia 1100 and I've bought this phone with touchFLO... To me is OK since it works.
Do you think there exist better than touchFLO? Give me some links that I can look
About this festinger I'll give it a look to see.
Thanks
Ok, I've downloades festinger (v.3.1.2) and tried it.
Good but not so good...
The registration is month by month. If I charge my phone on day 10 or 15, or more than once each month I can't get the info I need.
It should let me choose the period to show.
Historia became Free!
Hi, I'm happy to announce that all versions of Historia are now freeware. feel free to download and install it.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing.Best regards Ronenfe.
