Weather App that tracks your location? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Is there a weather app that can track your location like if i went to nyc it can see what cell tower i am at and change my weather automatically to nyc location or even if you drive to town to town it will change too.
i think that would be a great program to make. i know there is a cell catcher that finds the cell id and zip code if you can make the weather to do the same to see the zip code from the cell tower.

Making a call when roaming

Hi,
I'm living in two cities at this moment and I'd like to know if there is a way for xda2 makes a call putting the area code automatically?
For example:
my home city is Rio de Janeiro and the area code is (21) and my work is in Macae which area code is (22). When i want to call for someone who lives in Rio from Macae i need to dial the following sequence: 0+31+21+number.
And when i want to call for someone who lives in Macae from Rio i need to dial 0+31+22+number.
My network allows me to make a call dialing 0+21+number (or 0+22+number) when i'm not in roaming but i need to introduce the 31 between 0 and the area code while i'm roaming.
Is it possible for xda2 makes it automatically?
Thanks for help me!

Good Call Monitor/Logging program and Cell Info

Hi,
Over a period of time, I have been able to solve many problems with my qtek9100. However, these are 2 things, I am still fighting with.
Call Monitor:
I have tried a couple of softwares but none are fully customizable. HudsonMobile Phone Dashboard is good but it allows customizations on total minutes based talk plans. In my country, talk plans are not flat rate /min based. Rate depends which networks I call or where I call. So typically I have to set rules for certain number prefixes to use X rate/min and some to use Y.. so on.
I found a good software for this from Pisiloc software for symbian systems and was happy with it till I used Nokia. But its really getting tough to find one on WM5.
Cell Info
Did someone get this to work so far? I tried the engineering mode and googled around to see what all that information means. However, there's nothing which shows or can be used to find the cell info. Its frustrating to see a nokia show the cell info and this mighty phone not showing it.
Can someone please give me some pointers from here ?
Try phonealarm - has a good call monitor and varying profiles for diff tariffs see here http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm

I hvae tried Nicetrack before. The problem is that you need to collect the cells and name them manually. And cell info that you see are the names you give.
What I was talking about is some software that shows the cell info name from the cell tower. The cell towers of my network have an area name coded with them. This way when I drive, my phone shows me the area I am in, simply by displaying the text from tower its latched to. This is an inbuilt feature in nokias and I know my operator provides it. Just that the wizard doesnt show it. My hunt is still on for such a 3rd party software.

It seems to me you're actually looking for a way to read cell broadcast messages. They're available in WM5 as in every phone around (not only Nokia's). Go to Settings->Phone->Other[tab]->Transmission Channels(enable)->Settings then click New and create a new channel with channelID 050

This might be useful for you - engineer mode - i placed a link from gsmtestmode.exe in the \windows directory and got all kinds of cell info.
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36807
There is a Today plugin titled DKToday, which displays cell strength in a four segment bar graph, operator and cell name. However here in Oz (Australia) the cell name works, but it also comes up as a balloon at the bottom of the screen as a notification (annoying). The software author has been unable to stop the balloon appearing. This is on a K-Jam. Yo need to enable cell broadcasts as stated earlier in the posts.
If a fix is found or a new solution is found it will be popular.

Samsung Traffic Widget

Hi i have just looked in my widget draw and i see a new widget called Traffic, any ideas what this is or does ?????
I believe it was added with the recent google maps update. You give it a name and input a destination and i believe you will see a traffic light widget. If the light is green, theres no traffic between you and that destination.
I could be wrong

When created you type a address.
When GPS is on, it should show how delayed your commute will be.
When clicked it show your route and traffic information (if any).

Please give your valuable feedback. Its really important for us.
You should have posted it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games . But that's ok maybe a moderator will move it there. Your app looks pretty cool. You should post a link to google play or something. One thing though, when travelling I never have a good connection. The google maps api lets you reverse GPS location into a city/country name. You usually have to wait a bit for that information to load after the GPS signal has been acquired for that info to not return null. So like while on wifi on a pit stop is a good time to report "made it to country/city" to recipients.
