GPRS usage - HELP!

I have done search for the infomation i require however with no luck,
What i'm trying to do is get the realtime usage of the GPRS connection using EVB. I have a program that does many usefull things however i want it to tell the user when they are coming upto their max GPRS usage for their plan and if they go over how much it will cost them based on usage x Plan.
If anyone can point me in the correct direction it would be fantastic.

I hope this helps, I've uploaded a program SPB GPRS Monitor FULL w/ serial @ Zevink.com, in downloads/useful_apps, with this it will show your GPRS usage, and you can cap it to what you want, or set it to unlimited =)

Thanks for the app it looks good. I was really looking for code to add to my evb program however your program is going to be really usefull untill i find what i need.
The only problem is installing a program that comes from a blackhat hacker..... ;-p
Thanks again

Universal as wireless accespoint?

I travel by train pretty much, and I have a HTC Universal. Since I can make use of UMTS i was wondering if i could let my universal act as an accespoint, so that i can use it as router for my Nintendo DS to play online in the train. Is there some way to do this?

Its possible, using a java program to add router software to your universal. Try googling it a bit.

Hey if you find something keep us posted will ya?

i can only find lots of Telnet clients and tutorials how to connect your ppc to a router ~ ___~);;' no luck yet.

oops i cried too early Xp I found it

The first part says:
Just get the HTTPSnoopProxy.class file, copy it to, say, the root of your "access point" Pocket PC and get a decent Java Virtual Machine (I recommend CrEme 4.00 because of its superior speed, reliability and moderate memory consumption).

Seems like only web surfing will be allowed.
I got an idea when i saw this line in the link you provided:
"To share an Internet connection, you'd need operating system-level support for connection sharing as is present in, say, the desktop Windows"
I bet Linux has this. And since some smart people here has managed to get linux running on the Universal this might just be possible.
Is there anyone reading this with some linux knowlage that knows how to set this up in linux?

Have you tried it? If so does it work?
I would love to setup my Jasjar as a WiFi access point using 3G, now that Vodafone IE have an unlimited 3G data plan.

How about making some sort of quasi proxy/(repeater or relay) site on a home PC?
I'm thinking of some way to pass parameters as part of the URL for port forwarding to a proxy site that forwards to the intended destination site.

would you enjoy gaming on your DS with 200msec ping times? UMTS is fast but ping times are almost as high as GPRS's...

I this this would be a great project for someone like vjay, I'd certainly pay for an app that lets me use my universal as a wireless access point.

SAME HERE!!
I've been looking for a thread like this for a long time now and finally found it!
Otherwise I've would've made one myself with the same question..
Is there any progress about this issue?
Plz let me /us know...

Well, I'd say it depends on the GSM operator. My UMTS ping times (Europe) are generally (well) under 100 ms.

Not yet. I'm, however, pushing Microsoft (in internal forums) very hard to implement REAL connection sharing - some kind of an extended version of the AKU3+ Internet Sharing tool.

Isn't internet connection sharing enabled in Crossbow?

My 3 - Usage Meter. Possible?

Hi guys,
I'm absolutely loving my phone atm. Just seems like I've found my perfect setup, and that I can do everything with my phone.
I especially love how I can display detailed weather in Today's screen.
From what I've seen, it seems like it accesses a website, then parse the data to find the actual weather.
This leads me to think, wouldn't it be cool if I'm able to see my mobile usage on my Today screen.
I'm living in Australia and am with 3 using Dopod d810 (htc p3600). People who use 3 will know that we have free and unlimited access to the My3 website to see our usage for the month at any time.
Just wondering:
1) It must be possible to write a program that parses that website and retrieve the data accordingly right?
2) Has anyone seen any app like this?
I'm more or less an experienced Java developer so I hope it won't be too hard to learn how to write a ppc app!
Lastly, thanks everyone in this forum who have contributed in making my phone, the most perfect I can imagine!!

Yeap its entirely possible. Its called screen scraping. Look up wikipedia.
I used to make a php application that parses data by looking up their html tags, so it's possible. But if the website supplies rss data then there's no need to do scraping.

great!
Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely look it up...
How do you know if it supplies rss data btw?

wouldn't it be much easier to just install batterystatus
This can display outgoing texts, calls etc

Paranoid user (QuickGPS, eTrust Antivirus vs..)

Hi everyone,
I will be a little paranoid over here so don't take it hard on me =)
I've been using a i-mate k-jam for a long time and switched to touch hd on january. Interestingly the biggest similarity and annoyance for me was the softwares pre-installed to download some sort of data over internet and bugging every week to download new signatures/data and bugging even more if you fail to download.
eTrust found out to be useless and I can't really pinpoint why most handheld GPS devices doesn't really require to update this kind of information (Please correct if I'm wrong).
We might assume the transaction is a simple wget/http download which wouldn't carry any other information to the other party that someone from that IP downloaded something. But if there is a handshaking or at least some kind of a http post is inplace, it could be also sending a unique device idea which would let the guys in Taiwan track our devices our a map.
As I said I'm just being paranoid and making almost a conspiracy theory here but still the possibility exists.
So how can we be sure they are not sending any information out?
We can set up a proxy and mirror incoming traffic from a source ip (phones ip) and dump it with wireshark. Then we will need to define the proxy on our phone and click download.
Is there a wireshark/ethereal kind of packet capture software which can run on these devices? It could ease the job.
Reverse engineering the code? Not experienced in that but It should be quite small when the you think the job it supposed to do.
Any comments, thoughts, help, information - greatly appreciated.
BR, Kaya

You can disable Quick GPS if you want because it isn't necessary for the GPS.
It just speeds up the process of finding satellites.

why don't you just use a nokia 3210? that way you should be pretty safe lolol

Only if you leave BT off JK

I've sort of resigned myself to the fact that using a smartphone exposes someone to a lot of security gaps. The best advice is to keep your bluetooth off / in hidden mode, as this is one of the easiest ways to get at your handheld's data. Moving up the paranoia scale, you can use that NoData program to disable your data connection except for when you really need at - that will prevent most third-party programs from dialing home. And if you're really worried about being tracked, I'd recommend just shutting off your phone when you have something private to do.

Network-utilities on HD2?

I am looking for something like "tcpdump", "ethereal", "wireshark" for using on HD2. Any network sniffer, do not even need to decode packets (probably simple and good thing - produce pcap packets, which i can analyze later, using tools on desktop).
Any ideas about that?
Other simple tools like "traceroute", "tracepath", "netstat" would be usefull too.
Reason - need to debug some portable apps, track certs, etc. Sniffing on wi-fi router is possible, but much harder to do, sniffing on 3G - impossible for me ;-)
Thanks!

Oh, at least - ping/traceroute, thanks!
Any ideas about network sniffer?

edit - just tried it and real tiny menus, not suited to our nice fat screen.

Yeah, that would be solution, but without stylus - almost impossible to use.
Even console version (full keyboard-only input) would be better ;-)

hi, for general use i like the cambridge tools . the are handy for a technican like me.
regards mad

Thanks!
Not so cheap, but seems at least sniffer is working.
But - similar problem - almost impossible to use without stylus (or, font size is configurable?)....
Anyway, better than nothing ;-)
