I'd love to find a piece of s/w which runs on blue angel or similar, and will go round all the networks accessible at a point in space, and note/log/show the signal strengths
if it understood GPS and could label the results with a positioon, even better.
If it could email off the result, perfect.
Bit like netstumbler for GSM with reporting.
or the monitor program from
http://www.nobbi.com/monitor/index_en.htm
Anyone know of anything?
Have you looked at WiFoFum?
http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/wififofum/
The Radar mode is a neat hack, but there is a mini-netstumbler in there too.
sorry - I didn't make myself clear
i didn't make it claer I am looking for something to look for GSM networks.
( it was hidden in about line 7 :-( )

Even though the link was not what the original poster was looking for, it was exactly what I was looking for, when I did a search on here for net stumbler, (mini stumbler won't work on my HTC TYTN) So Thanks for the Link.
mini stumbler doesn't like my Trinity or Alpine either.

Any Softwares for this ?
I would love something like Batti for this...
Hi TauTau,
Thnks for replying !
Whatz Batti ??
Isnt that an application which shows you remaining power of your battery ?
exactly, over the whole width of the screen in a small bar... the same thing for receiption would rule!
Does it shows the signal strength in dBm ??Its more of a technical measurement value !
i guess you missed the word "would" in my last posting...as far as I know, it doesn't exist...
What you're looking for is called GSM Radio Meter from MobileGX (try http://www.hpc.net/file.asp?ObjectID=94143) - not sure though if the program is still available or even marketed.
I used to have it, and it worked great
Cheers

Test Mode
There is a way to put your HTC Wizzard into test mode. Dial: *#*#364#*#* I foundthis on another HTC site. I beleive that there is a registry tweak to make it work. I think after flashing mt ROM to the newest test2 2.3, i have lost that setting, and have no idea what it was. Just google it. Once that number is dialed, it brings up a new screen with numerous tabs. Looks like just a bunch of numbers to me, but somewhere in there, there is a db meter. Between -60 and -90 is the ideal signal
The P3Kit works fine, but is not what I wanted... I'd like to have some permanent visualisation for GSM, just like Batti does for Battery
Yeah that would be nice.

That sure sounds like a Field Test menu which will also display the tower info of the site your PPC is connected to. I'll have to try this on my MDA II.
How do u put your wizard in test mode ?

you can change *#*#364#*#* combination into sth easier to put (i have *0#). anyway, HTC engineering mode was mentioned on xda-dev Wizard's forum already few times. have a look:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36807
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41978
basically, application seems to work properly only with AKU2 ROMs and is designed mainly for operator's professionals, developers etc. however, there are some GSM-freaks (like me who actually use it for hobbistic purposes.

btw, where exactly do you see dBm units? i only have RSSI field on GSM tab, which is NOT showing dBm units. :-o
and do you have decimal or hexadecimal values in fields ARFCN, LAC, Cell ID? mine are only hex..
My old cellular phone Ericcson R600 is ale to display name of the City I'm actually in.
I would like to have the same on today screen in my MDA2.
Is it possible? Is there today plugin which can do that?
That is not possible. The 'City name' is a Cell Broadcast (CB) message sent on CB Chanell 50 - Windows Mobile can receive CB messages, but there is no special handling of specific CB messages.
is it hardware specific (radio ROM) or OS (WM5 ROM)?
It is not impossible, but such plugin is not known (till now).
It's possible to receive broadcasts (like SMS), don't disturb phone user and store information anywhere.
It is possible to retrive stored information and display on the today screen, too.
I was thinking about this plugin, but time... May be in january ...
actually, pocketmax's phonealarm plays around with "Location-based information (change profile dependent on current location!)" which I think is similar to what you are looking for: it picks up the CellID signal, but not sure what it translates into. The idea is that when you're at "work" it'll pick up on that cell tower and switch to that profile, but I don't think it gives you the "city name".
It's also an experimental addon that doesn't work on every service.
I don't need profile switching. What I need is ability to show on Today Broadcast messages from specific channels
This is possible but the app would have some problems on newer devices as the BCM messages are ignored if the header is similar (for power consumption reasons) so if you would stop the app and restart it but not switch cells you would get no CBM to retrieve info from...
But for XDA2/2i/3 it would work np.
so it's possible but no app? is it possible to write it such plugin in .Net? I don't know C++ well..

there is a plugin called dktoday (its free!) that has this option...
does anyone know the cell broadcast chanell for t-mobile uk?
i have dktoday 1.80 and I don't see such option.
well this blog from msdn says it works...have you added the channel to be able to receive the info from your provider?
http://blogs.msdn.com/frankarr/archive/2006/04/05/568809.aspx
yes, i did it
dktoday seems to really slow down my 8125/wizard. anyone else see the same?
yeah, a little, and the battery meter is all over the place!

Yeah I did read the thread. But dktoday is supposed to slow down the system. Was wondering if there is something else...
I'm using dktoday with Charmer. I have been using that since. I got the unit and it is not slowing down my phone. Charmer and Wizard is relatively the same hardware other than the WiFi and such.
Anywya, dktoday has the option of displaying lines that you need, e.g., it has 3 lines of information, you can have the choice of which line to be displayed. Try that, may speed things up for you.
UPDATE: Ok, I take my words back. dkToday DOES slow your unit down (e.g. the Today screen). Ever since I read this post, I'm trying to 'sense' the effect of dkToday. I had PocketBreeze installed and the 'slow' item on my Today screen is the PBreeze, which I presume it is because it is a heavy item. However, to my surprise, the dkToday seems to be the one causing the PBreeze (probably not just Pb, but all Today plugins). Since I had this program from the first day I had my unit, it doesn't occur to me that it is this that causes the unit to slow down (as many had complain about the slowness of OMAP processor).
I have a strange problem with my O2 Trion: in the Connectvity bubble that pops up when when I tap on the little GPRS icon in the title bar, I get no connections listed and also no "connect" button - just a text liek "Go to network settings and add a new connection to access Internet" (rough translation from the German text).
The funny thing is that I do have network connections defined in the settings. After a hard-reset, I allowed the O2 programs in the Extended ROM to install themselves, so I have the original O2 connection settings. And PIE also connects without a problem.
So, would anybody know what makes a connection become listed in that bubble, and how to get the "connect" button back?
Thanks in advance!
Daniel
PS: I compared some values in the registry of my Trion with those of my old Magician. I found that Microsoft moved the ConnMgr from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft to HKLM\Comm and added a few keys, but I could not find a difference explaining the symptoms of my problem. Maybe someone of you would be so nice and export the ConnMgr part from their registry and send it to me, so that I can compare them? I do not think they contain any sensitive information (passwords etc), but it never hurts to look before you send anything.
Nice work-around!
Okay, it seems this is not just my device which has that problem, but rather a design decision by Microsoft.
However, I think I found a very nice work-around for the problem. I just added a short description to the Wiki, on the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Utils under the heading "Easily connect/disconnect GPRS".

looks like you have already found a wrokaround for this but try this if you still want to see the connect/disconnect button and the time of connection in bubble. It also allows you to toggle between gprs always on and turn off gprs when the device is not used for the amount of time of your choice. very handy.

Thanks for the hint, but I had installed this little program already. It does a lot of nice things, but didn't help with the missing connect button.
In the meantime I heard from a few O2 Trion owners that they actually do have a "connect" button, so it's not a problem with WM5 per se. Although I have a work-around, I would still like to understand what really goes on there.

hmmm... so you are right. i just confirmed it myself that it only enables the disconnect button but not the connect button when it's disconnected. i have gprs always on and did not realize it until now. it might be that i only saw the connect button when i was running an older version rom on my universal that did not come with gprs always on as the default. sorry for the confusion...

Yes, it's a (in my opinion, rather questionable - in pre-WM5 OS'es, the ability to start (/stop) connections manually and, what is more, the ability of choosing between the Internet and Work right in the bubble was a great asset) design decision. It's only the "Disconnect" button that's hackable.
Hello all,
I have searched the forums and drawn a blank (have found some other useful things though). I am looking for a program that just displays GPS co-ordinates, speed and altitude in a very simple interface. I have tried WMminiGPS and really like it, but the altitude doesn't work. Can anyone recommend a similar program?
Thanks in advance.

I've been searching for quite some time for the program for searching contact and handling its information, (I have over 1200 contacts), and then yesterday I found O3Touch. Though I'm still only at the start stages, I find that searching is extremely fast and resembles nothing I've seen before. What I am still having trouble understanding from the manual, is how to find a contact by its company name?

Hi Sigal
First go to settings page 1, press Search mode button until you get "Search mode contain " then close settings. Now type the name of the company and you'll see the first 4 contacts of the same company, if you have more than 4 press on what you typed on the top and you'll get all.
Greetings

Hi Sigal and welcome,
As a person that use this wonderful dialer (and much more ), for quiet a lot of time, I can tell you that you won't replace this app with any other dialer. In just 3-4 days you will be at the end of the learning stage, just use it (you don't have any other choices )
As for your question - Just search regularly as you search for names, but be sure that you are in CONTAIN mode, otherwise it will only search in name/family.
(I will explain as a TOUCH PHONE user not SMARTPHONE)
This is done in 2 ways :
1. Settings page 1/8 line 4 (touch logo button and goto Settings)
2. Start searching and touch to the right of the search string where is say "Start with", and it will change to CONTAIN, and from now will search in this mode.
If it finds more then 4 results, just touch the SEARCH STRING to list all the results.
And... if you would like to be updated in Hebrew and see whats new, goto the Freak forum at:
http://www.pocketpcfreak.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Himalaya;action=display;num=1233437360
Enjoy!
I can say that the three of us should go to sleep now
That's what I am going to do now.
Good night everyone....
many thanx
to all who posted replies to my question; very helpful
