Cell ID Info - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hi Everyone
I'm looking for a program that could tell me the Cell ID information for the tower that I'm connecting to.
Does anyone know of such an app?

Hi Pieter.
There are several windows mobile apps that can determine the cell ID info, but none of them seems to work on our Universal...

Phonealarm
Phonealarm is a phone suite program that gives the numeric number of the cell tower and lets you create a name for the tower.

Thanks ... will search for it.

Try this....
There's a program called CellProfiler. I've previously used it and it's really comprehensive when it reports nearby Cell Towers.
Give it a try, and see.

Thanks looking for it right now.

Pieter,
If you find anything that actually works on our Universal, please let us know!!

Well, CellProfiler should theoretically work. Too bad the forum seems to be hacked, and it's not free

None of them so far works properley on the Universal but I'm still looking.

I guess you need a special rilgsm.dll - as with the HTC Fieldtest-tool. Search the forum ...

HTC FieldTest?
What can you tell us about it? That is BOUND to work on Uni, or to be easily adaptable!

See the attached file. Launch it on your device and you'll see that most of the information is missing. I'm not sure whether there is a patched rilgsm.dll for Uni available somewhere....

Will start playing with it now to see what we can do with it.

I don't know if you noticed, but BeastyLeo's amalgam ROM uses the Radio service of the HTC Himalayan. And I can't find the rilgsm.dll you've been talking about, is it in the Windows directory, or somewhere deeper?

In the Windows directory but you must use Total Commander to see it.

Oh, okay. I was using the ActiveSync explorer. I'll try to mod something into it soon...

Help! How do I keep GPRS connected?

HI There
(first XDA, with last upgrade from o2 site)
I am in UK, on O2 and have several pop3 accounts configured
I am wanting to keep GPRS connected whilst i check each account
but after checking one account it disconnects, and I have to redial as I move through each individual account
Where is the setting to Keep my XDA GPRS connected as I cycle through each pop3 account?.
Also anyone know of a better pop3 email software which handles better than the one it comes with?
Thanks
Re: How do I keep GPRS connected
Helou, in registry change or add the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"SuspendResume"="~GPRS!"

Georg,
How do you get into the registry to do this? Do you have to do a hard reset in conjunction with this?

No hard reset - only on/off radio
Georg,
This is un-chartered waters for me. I could easily wreck the ship.
I downloaded the file and unzipped it. Now what do I do?
If you feel that only someone with good technical ability should try this approach please tell me. Otherwise I could try the hard reset approach suggested by others in another thread. I understand that one, but this approach I do not. I'm an Engineer, but I fix buildings and structures not PPCs.
What I do like about your fix is that it sounds as if I will not have to reload all my applications after I complete the tasks, and this is attractive to me.
What do I do with your download? How do I set radio on/off? Could you provide me detailed instructions? Sorry if this is a bother, and if I'm being unreasonable just let me know.

HI There
Thanks for your reply/help!
But how does this "fix" work (ie, what will it do once I have installed it)
is it a design fault on the XDA the fact that GPRS won't disconnect?

Is it quality setting, it is not error.
XDA1 always be GPRS up
XDA2 is only sometimes GPRS up (according to operator)
Here be more accurate setting.
( Englishment by the help of PC Translator )
More accurately setting succeed
When
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings] "SuspendResume"="~GPRS!"
Then
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]
"Flags2"=dword:00000000 = no button disconect in buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000008 = button disconect on buble con.
"Flags2"=dword:00000010 = button disconect and time con. on buble conection (hex)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction]
"NoGPRSAutoAttach"=dword:00000001 = search GPRS on con.
"NoGPRSAutoAttach"=dword:00000000 = search GPRS on radio on

difference between smartphone and PPC software tat i don understand..

Can a PPC software use in a Window mobile based smartphones?
are they functioning like in the PPC?
Can the *.cab file used for PPC use in smartphones?

ok, prehaps i shouldn't ask it tat way... actually the main thg is i just wanna know if there is any possiblity tat we can use PPC softwares on Window mobile based smartphone?
That would depend on the software and the device.
Some will run, some you won't be able to use without touch screen and some will need extra components.
you can try...it's all winCE...
I know some of my old smartphone software works o.k. on my PPC, but PPC is like smartphone's bigger brother: with extras (touchscreen, others, etc.)
The screen is broke on my smartphone now but I seem to remember installing some stuff meant for PPC on there back in the day with varying results. I think some did work, but not a lot worked nicely.
AFAIK you need to port, change a few things (like have no touchscreen input) for a reliable result.
it being winCE is not always enough
binary files are spc for the cpu they were compiled for
but if they have the same cpu and the same libs
it would work
another matter is .net and java they are not written for a spc cpu but for the framework

Excellent article. Note that, however, it states all PPC apps run on a Smartphone w/ SPHelper ("Does this mean that they will run the same software? / Yes and no. All Windows Mobile devices (Smartphone, PPC, PPC phone edition, etc) can run the same actual executable code (.exe files) as long as it has been written for a Windows Mobile device. However if you actually try to install PPC software on a Smartphone (or vice versa) using Activesync, you might get an error message stating the device is incorrect and it will refuse to do anything."). This is, however, not really the case. See my related articles and hacking reports - in the articles I've posted in the last 2 weeks, I've posted a LOT of info on interoperability issues.
As a rule of thumb, about 10% of native (NON-Compact Framework-based) PPC programs can be hacked to work on a QVGA Smartphone. On a 176*220 one, even fewer.

Make sure you don't miss ANY of my articles. They are ALL in this very "General" forum.
I've published a LOT of information on these subjects, listing all the compatible software and how they can be hacked.
there should be a special forum for them since there are soo many they cant be sticky
some might get pushed far back

Nicetrack for WM 6 ??

I wasnt able to work with Nicetrack and found that the link to their site is dead.
Is there any other software that works similarly to nicetrack on WM6.
Im on nfrazz62a ROM.with Radio ROM 02.47.11
maybe you can fill us in on exactly what nicetrack does, because this is the first time ive seen or heard of it and maybe for others as well.
Hi mdajunkie,
Its a software which gives us the information about the signal strength in dBm.
well I know you asked for something similar and the only thing that I could think of that has something similar or close to what you might need is batterystatus. That gives you a percentage on how strong your signal is, also does a few other very useful tricks. I wish I could leave you with a link or something to download and try but unfortunately im not at home, otherwise I post it for you. hate to say it but use the search for batterystatus or hopefully someone else has some better input than I could give.
Here is batterystatus
Hi Binder
Thanks for the link.....
And thankyou mdajunkie for the info...
I will try this out and will post back.
Emm,
Nothin upto Nice track.
That was really perfect !
You can download nice track still
I downloaded nice track 8/14 here. I agree that nothing matched nicetrack for maintaining a database of signal strength, cell towers, and even locations when it is hooked up with GPS. However, I have met nothing but failure in trying to get it to work on WM6 - It needs to know the COM port for GSM, and none of the available ones work - either no signal, or it locks the application. Because I really need it in the current cell-strength purgatory I find myself, I might be going back to WM5 if I can't bumble my way through it.
The author released the source code (waaaay beyond my skills) at the same website.
PLEASE let me know if anyone gets it working on WM6. I am currently running Jaguar2 on a wizard.
THANKS.
Please, could anyone send me a copy of the Nicetrack 1.6 sources (binaries would be fine too but I need the source) ?The website is down...
At the moment the site is up to work
Look http://www.nicecuppa.net/
Anyone has any news? I need of a Nicetrack for HTC Touch Pro. Or exist the similar software ?

YES! it is working on my Qtek S100 with wm2003se !!! very nice m8
BUT i can't get it to work with wm6.1 well, the 2008 versions that site actually *WORK* (you can see the cells already being detected) but it has a small resolution. Versions from 2006 have correct resolution, but don't work at all. I'll try contacting the developer, as i don't have any coding skills whatsoever
PS: i tried the batterystatus today plug-in from previous page, but it reveals to be a huge battery hog (at least for me). the constant refreshing of data probably is to blame.

I have a motorola q9h smartphone and nicetrack doesn't start because of an useless error i've already seen that is related to the smartphone/ppc little differences... If i could look at his source code....
well i tried emailing him, but the form on his site doesnt work.
also, for wm6.1 i now use rk-Location Switch, while nicetrack continues to work flawlessly in wm2003
iRiKi,

By the way, what's that Network Wizard you're asking for? I've never heard of it!
@NitroGenious
thanks responding. I read in the Htc's WM6 documentation. Its meant for Carrier settings.
Did you try this little app I've posted last week? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340586
@Nitrogenious
I just tried yours and it works fine. Attached is the original package from Htc which works to a certain extend. I have to tweak by 'hand' some parameters to make mms/gprs to work.
Using the relevant carrier settings from your cab, I copied to my DataConnection cab. It works without any 'hand' tweaking necessary.
To use my cab, extract to main memory and run from there.
Thanks a lot.

WM Torrent Client???

Hi guys,
Plz help me out with this....I want a WM Torrent client....i have downloaded one recently, WinMobile, but its a trial version....
Anyone know about any free available full version bit torrent client???
Thanks in advance...
afaik there is no free torrent sw for pocketpc, and the one I use is adisastas wmTorrent. Works very well, as you might already know.
I use my PPC to download stuff during the night by means of WiFi, because my PC is that loud and there is no door between the bedromm and where my PC is located

if you need the software, the USD 20,-- should't be a problem.
If its not worth that much to you, you obviously don't need it.
I am a Software Engineer by trade and I am pretty sure Adisasta put some work in this application. As said, it works very well. It has a nice interface too, btw.

Has anyone got wmtorrent to work properly. I keep getting "no tracker" from any torrent I try to leech.
I have same problem, and almost every where I try to dl it says: "Client Banned" or something like that : /
I just sent their "support" team a email about this problem. If they give me a solution, I will post it here for others to see.
Thank you for your email.
‘No Tracker’ means wmTorrent cannot reach the tracker URL.
Either the url is out of reach because it is a tracker-less torrent or your Internet connection is faulty.
In the first case, wmTorrent currently does not support tracker-less torrent.
In the second case, you need to check your connection settings.
It appears the Wmtorrent isn't even trying to establish a data connection. It's just sitting there, I never see my 3G icon change. Anyone know a solution?
wmtorrent issues
I used wmtorrent for some time now so I know the program pretty good.You have to establish a connection to the internet before connecting in wmtorrent.I usually use a program like im+ to connect to the internet or u can turn it on in comm manager, then in wmtorrent menu,tools,check connect you should see a green circle with on in upper left corner.If you click the notepad looking tab with a gear in front,thats your log it should show activity.
LOL,, I was just about to post this. I have to open Beejives IM client to get the data connection up. Thank's for your post. I wonder if this is a bug they plan to fix.

I have it working, but for some reason my data connection will drop. What do you mean by, "cut it on in comm manage". I don't see any setting that will bring up the data connection automatically, and keep it up.

depending on which comm manager(using new on/off style) it should say data connection or old style (green bkground w/ buttons) i believe its the buttons with arrows pointing to each other, if anything you can go in connection settings and connect from there,i personally use wktask bc it has a functions menu when u click in the most upper right in today screen,that allows you to connect/disconnect with your set connection.
btw i remember adidasta the developers for wmtorrent posted in their support forum about developing wmtorrent v3!! this was a month / two ago afaik they stated it will released after the d wnload accelerator app which is been out quite some time, and nowadays if you go to their forum that posting you can no longer find!! so im guessing they no longer developing it.This a shame because they had good fixes lined up including auto connect,dht,download structure (no more one file download,works like azureus) ,and etc.

Sorry for the disappearing of the pertinent post, it was a sincere mistake of our team, we accidentally deleted the database while upgrading the forum.
I can assure you that we are still developing wmTorrent. There are lot of problems we have to address before we can release the latest version, it is indeed a huge undertaking for us and with very limiting income that this project has generated so far, we are really struggling to keep it alive. It is the love of programming and BT protocol that make me fund and develop this project in the beginning and also because of that, I will never abandon the project. For better or worst.
I believe, you know the condition of software developers for WM.
Recently I have to switch our resources to another project, wmZip, due to immediate demands from vertical markets. By so doing, unfortunately, it contributes to the delay of wmTorrent v.3 release date. I hope I can put it back on track soon.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have supported us so far, believe us, we will live up to your expectation and deliver a better version in the future. Be patient
