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).

Question for you guys:
If you could have traffic information displayed on your device, how would you want it displayed, and how do you see yourselves using it?

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
Nicetrack might be what you are after to show cell info see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46803

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
bye

OK
Checked "Info"
OK

Thanks for ur help in advance

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.
Theres a cool app called personalizer thats shows anyt text you want instead of the Operator name. Now I want to know if someone can develop an app that will show Channel Broadcast message instead of operator name. Reason being that in South Africa we get updates via broadcast messages of current call discounts in realtime. If I knew where to find the broadcast messages I could probably develop this myself
Personalizer

here you go:

Personalizer 2.0
maybe HomeScreen++ can help you, it can display the Broadcast Message on your Today Screen
install HS++ and in the settings, you can select "Show Cell Broadcast Messages"
I am working on updating Personalizer.
If you still want that feature let me know and I will help set that up.

Hey Friends..
We have made a guardian app called mSaver.

mSaver is a guardian application.It tracks your current location and pass the information to your friends instantly as a text message, when you tap a single button. The application plays a vital role when an individual is in any dangerous situation and wish to pass the information about his current location to his friends or relatives without giving any indication to the persons nearby.It also have an option for sending periodic alerts,which updates your friends or relatives with your changing location(if you are moving) information in a periodic manner. When periodic alert is turned on,the application will run in background and sends messages to your friends even if the application is closed by the user. It also provides an option to update the location when you are safe.
The application lets you to configure social medias like Facebook and Twitter and so that you can update your current location information and hence ask for help from your friends there.
The application is built with simple UIs so that it can easily be operated in seconds when you are in danger. All the messages and durations are customizable.
Note:This application is strictly rely on the network availability of your device.
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.
