RemoteTracker - Antitheft software

[joubertvasc]

Hi there,

This software is an Antitheft and you can use it to track your device when it was lost or stolen. It works catching a formated SMS sent from any phone and then send useful informations back.

You can use it to others objectives, like keep your eye in your child. Use your imagination!

If the thief change your SIM card, you will receive a SMS alerting you and you still can track your device. All you need to do is set an emergency cel number.

RemoteTracker can be added to third part custom ROMs. But, with a hard reset all configurations was lost. Now, RTRegCreate tool can create a configuration file using your PC. ROM cookers can use this DLL to make RT hard reset safe!

I need to learn VisualStudio 2008 and develop to Windows Mobile for professional purposes. I choose to make this projet because thought it might be fun

My Glofish X800 has Panot (from eten-users.eu) custom ROM with WM6.1 and native .NET 3.5, but you can download this .NET version if needed here: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E3821449-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en

The installer CAB file and source code of RemoteTracker can be downloaded here:
http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net

This version answer the commands below:

rt#help - send this list of commands;
rt#ehelp - send this list of commands by e-mail;
rt#cb#<some_tel_number> - turn on the Phone and call the number passed as parameter;
rt#gp#<some_cel_number> - try to get GPS coordinates and send back to cel number passed as parameter.
rt#egp#<some_e-mail_account> - try to get GPS coordinates and send back to e-mail passed as parameter.
rt#pb#<some_cel_number> - Use them to receive your contacts stored in SIM card back. If you do not take the phone back, at least the contacts will be saved.
rt#epb#<some_e-mail_account> - Same as pb, but the message goes by e-mail.
rt#elt#<some_e-mail_account> - This command will start GPS, Log the path about 5-6 minutes and send the KMZ file by e-mail. This file can be opened with Google Earth. Very cool.
rt#go#<some_cel_number> - get 'settings/owner' informations.
rt#ego#<some_e-mail_account> - Same as go, but the message goes by e-mail.
rt#rst - softreset device.
rt#dkz - delete all kmz files.
rt#dsc - delete all contacts in SIM card.
rt#eganfl - Send, by e-mail, a list of all incoming and outgoing calls if you have VITO audio notes installed.
rt#eganf - Send, by e-mail, all incoming and outgoing calls records if you have VITO audio notes installed.
rt#findme - Same as 'gp' command, but ask you if you want to answer the command.
rt#alarm - Just play a sound. Useful when you don't remember where the device is, but you know it's your home.
rt#gi - Send informations about your phone: IMSI and IMEI.
rt#egi - Same as 'gi' but the answer goes by e-mail.
rt#msg - Send a message to be displayed on your device.

The main screen has a tab with help.

I did this project to be multi-language. In this version there is Portuguese (my mother language), English (sorry about it, my english is very bad), Dutch (thanks to Cybermoose, from etenusers) and Spanish (thanks to Popy from etenusers). If you want to make your own translate, I can tell how. Very simple.

If you decide to try RemoteTracker, I would like to read reviews, comments and suggestions. Remember this is a beta version and may contain bugs. Use at your own risk and with caution.

Please see ChangeLog.txt to see the improvements.

For those of you who are having the problem with the help file,
with some strange certificate errors and PIE opening when you start RTconfig, the problem lies with having the default program that opens html set to something besides PIE (Opera 9.5, perhaps)

To fix this, use schap's Advanced Config tool to set .htm and .html files to be opened by:

Code: iexplore.exe file: %1

There is an integration with AppToDate. This application verify if configured softwares are up to date or not. If not, you are alerted, and invited to download the new version! Very cool and useful.

You can download AppToDate here: http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267096/download-apptodate-supported-applications/

After install AppToDate, please download RemoteTracker and run RTConfig or softreset your device to configure AppToDate.

Try this and don't forget a new version never more! ;)

--> It is a work in progress. In future versions I will make a lot more.

my apologies if i'm blowing up a bubble here.. but doesn't TrackMe do the EXACT same thing?

[joubertvasc]

my apologies if i'm blowing up a bubble here.. but isn't TrackMe does the EXACT same thing?

I didn't know this software. Very good I think, I'll try later. But I suspect the objectives are different. RemoteTracker works only in silent mode to help you find your device if you loose it.

There is only one user interface to configure few parameters. After that you don't need to use it any more.

All functions are activated by SMS (remotely) and the answers will be by SMS or e-mail. For example you can use your wife's phone to send SMS to your lost phone and then receive GPS coordinates to find it.

If you want to compare RemoteTracker with other software, it's more similar to Mobile Justice, but with more features.

This is first goal of RemoteTracker. The second is help you to retrieve your personal data back. It's not totaly done yet. There is a work in progress.

Hope this answer your question :)

[xd1936]

I think this is fantastic! Great idea! Do you think you can incorperate more CDMA-friendly, not-solely-sim-card features? I'm downloading now

[joubertvasc]

I don't have a CDMA device :( But I think I can search for informations and then code, but without tests.

About suggestions that similar software already exists, this is no argument that this software should not be developed. We see so many sw that do the same thing. Some do it better than the others. So, even reinventing the wheel is necessary smtimes because smone came made the tubeless tyres by reinventing the tubed ones. :) (and ofcourse, we all made "Hello World"'s, isn't it)
Thanks joubertvasc, and I wish you luck in your endeavour. Any development is good development.

[S.V.I]

wow. If this is going to work as it should, then perhaps it is something that needs to be built into the rom itself?
what happens if the new owner decides to hard reset?

Sounds very promising! I'm bookmarking the page already!. can't wait to try it. :) than you for this!

I agree and thanks. I did not like the similar software in the market. And I need to learn VS .net, so I decide to make one by my self to learn and also for fun. :)

One thing I'm thinking is how to reinstall RT automaticaly after a hard reset. May be using external cards, but the autorun feature only works when card in inserted.

Built into the ROM is possible, but only ROM cookers or manufactures can do it.

I think its early to think about it. RT have to me more tested.

oh oh oh . my bad. i meant "Where Is My Phone"

[deedee]

All WIMP does is send an SMS back with the current GPS co-ordinates, very useful but severely lacking compared to what the OP is trying to do. That said it is native PPC code with no need for .NET.

Surely we should commend anyone trying to write alternatives as without that attitude we would all be using Windows with MS Office and browsing using IE. Possibly not the best analogy but it will do.

[phamhien]

Thanks! It's great! Can I ask a question?
When the device's stolen, may be the thieft removed your SIM card and then insert a new one. So how to known a new phone number in that SIM card to you send a SMS?Tks!

[hoolahoous]

maybe it can send sms with phone number whenever a sim card which is not in preconfigured list is inserted.
also another suggestion is, for the phones which do not have GPS, maybe it can send the tower information ? So that it could be used to track where it is based on the tower information ?

[nir36]

i wasn't complaining. i think it's wonderful people are trying to develope new software. i was just giving reference.

[joubertvasc]

Thanks! It's great! Can I ask a question?

When you run RT for the first time, the IMSI of your SIM card is stored. After a new 'boot' this IMSI is verified again. If the new IMSI does not match with the old, you will receive a SMS alerting you. This message has the new number. You must input an emercency mobile number in config tab. This number, of course, must be a mobile number diferent of yours (your wifes, mother, son, or so).

I have no idea how to get this information! But it's a good idead and I'll search this information.

Greaattttttt !!!
Can help for french translation, if you want to.

[joubertvasc]

Greaattttttt !!!
Can help for french translation, if you want to.

Of course I do! Thank you very much!

Very simple: copy and rename english.xml and english.htm to french.xml and french.html.

Edit both files and just translate ignoring the words between < and > characters (those are "commands").

Edit language.xml file and insert the lines below before </languages> (last line):

<language>
<code>4</code>
<name>Français</name>
<file>french.xml</file>
<help>french.html</help>
</language>

[dr_tracker]

Today I was roaming around some blogs and stumbled upon an article with some tips to protect your "smartphone", they talked about a software called mSafe, I even downloaded it for test.

Anyway, it does mostly what you want to develop. The site is http://www.motionapps.com. Their apps are intended for Treos but mSafe states that it's compatible with WM5.

Just for your reference.

[fmcastro]

I have no idea how to get this information! But it's a good idead and I'll search this information.

Well... I'm not familiar with windows mobile programming but I'm a SIM Card programmer. I don't know if you can access STK commands (commands to the sim card) via the Windows Mobile API's but, if you can, there is a function ("proactive command" using the specific SIM terms) called "PROVIDE LOCAL INFORMATION" that gives you exactly this information (and more)...

Hope it helps...

[thierryb]

Great idea. Even if other tools exist like yours. Few have command line to get specific info, or do specific actions.
I would like also the cell tower id.
Thank you.

[juwenio]

Hi, thanks for your effort to create a new anti-theft solution because i have tried some other programs like this and they didnt work for me.
But unfortunately also with this one is the same problem for me. When i change the sim card, there is no sms to the defined number (the international code with +43.. i have entered). Maybe its because my connection wizard doesnt recognize the provider of the new sim, because i get this info on my hermes. What do you think about it? My rom is Pays WM6.
Have a nice day...juwenio

[svilendotorg]

OK, i've installed the app and it's very good idea for a free tool like this, so thumbs up :)

As mentioned in the upper post, no SMS has been send after SIM change; after a few tests with my gf's SIM card :D i've found where the problem is.

There is a shortcut in \Windows\Startup\ called "SMSLauncher.lnk", linking to a file in \Program Files\RTConfig\ called "SMSLauncher.exe", which is executed on every boot of the PocketPC. I guess it's function is to check if the SIM card has been changed and to send a SMS to the predefined number. But while you enter your PIN code, the program can't send the SMS because the network isn't ready. If the SIM card doesn't ask for a PIN code, the SMS is then send successfully. So, please modify the "SMSLauncher.exe" to somehow wait for the PIN code input and phone to become ready and then send the SMS... My first idea was some simple timer, like send the SMS 30 seconds after boot, but this is just a temporary sollution... I hope you can find a better one :)
Thanks once again for the great initiative, our phones deserve it :)

Great! Thank you very much. I'll make more tests about.

[ajs007]

I think the idea is fantastic, but (not wishing to rain on anyones parade) ..

Ultimate Theft Alert.

http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/images/software/screenshots/vol01/cf/sku8530337/uta.jpg

How does it work?

The software has the capability to read the IMSI numbers of the SIM cards. Using this, the thief and owner's SIM is identified. You shall add all your own SIM cards to the white list and whenever a new SIM is found, its probably the thief' or Unknown person's SIM, the software will then start to send alert messages to the list of alternate numbers that you add.

The SMS is sent from the new SIM and that helps you find who's using the device.
The SMS is sent through backend and the new person is unaware of it completely.
The software will encrypt all the data on Storage card and/or any folders the customer chooses, on recognizing a new SIM. Prevents Data Theft! (under development)
If the device has a built-in GPS chipset, on recognizing a new SIM, the software starts to find fix of satellites and the co-ordinates can be retrieved through SMS! (All this is unknown to the thief/third person)
The software will also forward all SMS that the thief or the new SIM receives.
Incoming call numbers are also sent! You will know who's calling the new person and everything adds up to the ease of retrieving your device!
The software will not be shown in Remove Programs list and so the thief cannot un-install or be aware of it.

I have tried this point, but even when i deactivated the pin before starting my phone, nothing happens. But i think, there is the same problem as mentioned above: the connection wizard starts before and is the reason why the smslaucher.exe can´t work properly.

Hi all!

I was travelling to work in the last 3 weeks and therefore I could not do anything in RT. Now I'll read again the suggestions and BUG reports pending to start the next version.

Cheers!

[ddman2]

Any plans to make the software more usable on SmartPhones w/o touch screen?

Also, feature request: To be able to remotely trigger an alarm on the phone.

Two possible applications:

1. Even though GPS locating is great, it's accuracy is limited, once within the range, it would be nice to be able to trigger a remote alarm to find the phone.

2. In the event the phone is misplaced, and perhaps in silent mode, it would be great to be able to remotely trip an alarm to locate the phone that would sound regardless of whether the phone is set to silent.

[S.V.I]

I will try cooking into my rom to see how it works with the hard reset.
It would be nice if this prog sent n email immediately upon hard reset. that can be modified in the reg like htc connection setup/NetworkWizard.
I dont know when I will get to it though. too many things to do right now.

[juwenio]

Actual info from my Vario II. On my upper post I have thought, that the automatic start of the connection wizard is the reason why no sms has been sent after sim change. But now I have deactivated the wizard and also the pin, but nothing happens.

Another suggestion... I have read a little about using cell tower IDs, etc. to determine location without GPS. In phones without GPS capability, this would be a great addition. There is some code and discussion on this available here: http://www.modaco.com/content-page/251259/the-modaco-developer-challenge-win-an-i-mate-jaq3/page/100/

and one solution here:

[joubertvasc]

Hello all!

After a long time I could make another version: V0.06d. This is a small version and I will prepare version 7 with some new features.

In this version I added the german translation (thanks to Kasjopaja) and changed the SMSLauncher app to wait for GSM radio be ok to send the SMS when your SIM card was changed.

How it works now? I added some tests to make it more useful. If your device do not have a SIM card, do not have a GSM radio, the emergency number is not set or your first SIM card was not detected, nothing to do, just exit the application.

If ok, the app will compare your IMSI number with the IMSI of the installed SIM. If the numbers does not match a SMS message will be prepared to be send.

To send this SMS I made more changes. The app will verify if your device is connected to a service provider, if GSM radio is on and if device is searching for service. If everything is ok the message is sent. If not, the app will wait 10 seconds to try again. 30 attempts will be made every 10 seconds.

I apologize for the delay but I have been busy in recent weeks.

A-GPS without GPS in fact...only using cell network would be great because, the trinity's gps chip is a bit long to fix and as difficulties to fix from the inside..or if someone "finds" my 'lost' phone, he will surely bring it at home... and there, your product will have difficulties to send me informations...i've ever tried with another anti-theft soft

you should include the OpenNETCF DLL's in your sourcecode zip file.

No, this application does not run in background. When a SMS arrives with a command (rt#<something>) RT is started by pocket outlook, answer the command and exit. The memory used to process the command depends what command need to be executed.

Yes, the configurations is stored in this key. I must hide this settings in somewhere just for thiefs do not find it so easy. :rolleyes:

But I'm thinking again about it. To make it more useful in custom ROMs, I'm thinking about make backups in memory cards to be read automaticaly when the registry is clear.

well this explans why i could not find it. when i searched through the reg i was using the default number but i did not think about it being encrypted. nice job ;)

Could not connect to satellites.
Battery: 61-80%

i was connected to tomtom got a fix then sent rt#gp from my girlfriends phone and that was the error message i got. does anyone including the author know what the correct gps settings are. i have the htc x7500 with build in gps. settings are as follows:

GPS program port: 4
GPS hardware port: 0
Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically: checked

thanks for anyhelp anyone could provide

RT uses WM GPS configurations and does not connect directly to any COM port.

[nir36]

thank you for the hard work... i tried using it and it came out great... the database options are a certain advantage over Where Is My Phone.. but it also takes up more memory and requires additional software... i'm sticking with WIMP because i don't need more than what it offers.. (and because i bought it :)).. but all in all.. yours is better.

cheers!

[nogs]

Hi joubertvasc,

Great bit of software, Unfortunatley i lost my Orbit2 a few weeks ago so this would have been sweet to use. Fortunatley i have a new one now and the cooked ROM i'm using has RT installed.
Just a few questions....
If the phone is hard reseted will RT loose the config settings ?
If so Is there anyway of editing the config while in Extended rom so if it is hard resetted then you still dont loose out ?
The addition of receiving the new SIM's incomming and outgoing texts would be great... i'm sure your working on this though ;)
Also one great addition would be to scan the local storage and external storage for the Tomtom, co-pilot, Igo (and more) and some way find out the new home destination. Not sure if this is possible but worth mentioning.

One more question.... Lets say if the theif has tried a new sim and you have been sent that the theifs number.... If they hard reset, will TR respond if the same SIM is still in the phone eve though the config has been wiped ?

Anyway, keep up the good work !!
Will happily do any testing if you require :)

Hi joubertvasc,

Great bit of software, Unfortunatley i lost my Orbit2 a few weeks ago so this would have been sweet to use. Fortunatley i have a new one now and the cooked ROM i'm using has RT installed.
Just a few questions....
If the phone is hard reseted will RT loose the config settings ?
If so Is there anyway of editing the config while in Extended rom so if it is hard resetted then you still dont loose out ?


Yes. I'm working to make a new version for ROM cookers. This version will have backups of the configurations to be restored when the system started for first time.


The addition of receiving the new SIM's incomming and outgoing texts would be great... i'm sure your working on this though ;)
Also one great addition would be to scan the local storage and external storage for the Tomtom, co-pilot, Igo (and more) and some way find out the new home destination. Not sure if this is possible but worth mentioning.


Great idea. I'll add to my TODO list :)


One more question.... Lets say if the theif has tried a new sim and you have been sent that the theifs number.... If they hard reset, will TR respond if the same SIM is still in the phone eve though the config has been wiped ?


The IMSI of your original SIM card is stored in registry with all other configuration. So, after a hard reset, every configuration is lost. I'm hope next version can help ROM cookers to solve this problem.


Anyway, keep up the good work !!
Will happily do any testing if you require :)

Be sure I need!

When I release RT next version, I'll send you a private message :)

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply,

Look forward to testing the new version.

Hello!

Version 0.10 is out. This is my first release candidate. There is a lot of modifications:

- Split the aplication in two. Now RTConfig only configure RemoteTracker. The commands are answered by rt.exe;

- The configuration now has backups. These backups can be useful to auto repair your settings if you hard reset your device;

- A new tool was created to be used in PC. With this tool you can create a RT configuration backup file. This is useful for ROM cookers. If you decide to use a custom ROM made by third part, and this ROM has RT inside, use must create this configuration file to be added to the ROM before use flash your device. In this case, if everything is alright, RT becomes to hard reset safe;

- New command: eganfl to get a list of audio files recorded by VITO Audio Notes;

- New command: eganf to get all audio files recorded by VITO Audio Notes;

- New command: findme. This is the same as GP command, but RT will ask you if you want to answer the command;

- New command: alarm to play a sound file. Useful to find your device in your home;

- SMSLauncher now verify if RT is configured. If not, SL will load the configuration backup and auto configure RT.

I hope this version can be used by ROM cookers to put RT inside their ROMs and make it safe from hard reset!

I invite ROM cookers to test this version. Boge made a good tool here: http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=14946, but he didn't have this new version.

thats a really good idea but it seems its only for e-ten devices. :(

Try contact him. May be he make versions for others devices. There is a lot of people asking for it.

How do I any of these? Especially alarm to play a sound file?! It says on the help file rt#pb#"no. of phone"? - this would retrieve all the sim card entries?

so do I type rt#pb#"no. of phone"? into the phone and send and the phone that has been stolen will send it back? I am unable to type letters and send!

How does this fantastic peice of software work please?

Kind Regards,

Will

To use any command just send a SMS with: rt#<command> The phone number is optional because RT uses the sender number. I need to review the help :)

So, if you want to use the ALARM command, use: rt#alarm. If you want to use PB command, use: rt#pb, and so.

If you have more question, please tell me.

[William Richardson]

Would you like me to help you write the help menu? I improve environmental awareness and rewrite strategies for a living. It could/will help to have someone that is not that close to the program to re -read it all.

Version 0.10b was released. This version include minor bug fixed and italian translation. Thanks to Aspe from www.eten-users.eu!

[Mike1002]

I know this has only been tested on an e-ten device, but on my phone (iPaq hw6915 - WM5) most of the functions work, except the ability to use the GPS.

If i send my phone a text itll catch it, but ignore if its got anything to do with the GPS commands, the alarm one works great, which is real handy :) - but the GPS doesnt even initiate, any ideas?

Any help would be great!
Mike.

[joubertvasc]

Please take a look in Settings/GPS configurations. Please see if Windows is able to control GPS. RT does not connect directly to GPS, it uses WM configuration.

I had test RT in eten devices, but a lot of people tested RT in several devices with no (GPS) problems.

[Mike1002]

I did change it back so WM controls the GPS, but with no luck.
Seems odd, as some of the functions do work, so RT does catch the txt.

Thanks anyway, Cheers, Mike.

[joubertvasc]

Mike, RT does not answer any GPS command or the answer says "could not connect to satellite"?

May be your position is not good for connections. Do Others softwares working fine? Another question: do you know if GPS is activated or not (any light may be)?

[Mike1002]

It doesnt answer any commands, other programs do get a fix well.

The LED (for GPS) indicator DOES NOT flash when i get a text, its just like it catches the text, but cannot connect to the GPS.

I have set WM to manage the GPS automatically, TomTom works fine in the same place, so it can connect, and receive sattelites.

Just seems odd that its just the GPS but that doesnt work.
I guess theres no way for RT to test to see if the GPS works?

Cheers for the help, Mike.

I'll try some of the other commands that relate to the GPS, like "elt" - to see f it can connect over a period of time, maybe RT doesnt get enough time to connect to the GPS before it times out?
It was also on the Storage Card, so ill re-install to the device memory and see if its that.

EDIT: Installed in to device, and it seems to work, it caught the SMS, then it initiated the GPS, then i got the following error:
rt.exe
NullReferenceException

at rt.RTMain.UpdateData()
at
rt.RTMain.gps_LocationChanged(Object sender, LocationChangedEventArgs args)
at
CommonDLL.Gps.WaitForGpsEvents()

The GPS then doesnt connect, and then it stops trying to connect.

This happened when using the rt#egetposition# command.

To Note, im using WM5 - so no native .Net CF3.5 - had to install it, its installed on the device memory.

Again, thanks for the help, Mike.

[Northernmost]

Firstly, many thanks for RT! It's one of my "must have" apps.

One suggestion that's just come to me would be the ability to send RT a command and have it execute a shortcut (stored in the RT install folder perhaps?). That way you could effectively have RT perform anything a user wanted e.g. run a MortScript script. Something like:

rt#exec-shortcutname

This could further be expanded by another command that executes a shortcut, waits for it to complete and then silently send a file generated by whatever command was run and then delete the output file. The file would probably have to be stored at a fixed location (RT install folder?) and have a specific name to keep things simple.

Alternatively, instead of RT handling the silent sending of a file itself you could expose command line parameters in RT that could be used by an external program to make RT do the sending?

Hope the above makes sense... I'm thinking as I type ;)

Please tell me more about your device:
Manufacturer, model, etc (OS version, .NET version you already told me).

Do you have other GPS software running at the same time?

Thank you very much. Very good to read this.

I already thought about before. But that can open a dangerous back door for our devices. Maybe I implement, but only permits the execution if the password is set.

Hope the above makes sense... I'm thinking as I type ;)

I can make rt.exe read parameters to be used by third part. It's interesting, but I have to think about risks.

Anyway, thank you very much for any contribution. It is the community that are doing a good application to all. I just write the code :D

Its a HP device, called HW615 (part of the 6900 series - UK version), running Windows Mobile 5, .Net 3.5CF (version 2 is not installed [if it matters]).
No other programs are running when trying RT.

I'll read more about your device. At first view, nothing is wrong :(

[joubertvasc]

Hi all!

Version 0.10c is out.

This version include:

- new translations files;
- new config parameter: alarm sound file. Now you can select the wav file for alarm command. MP3 does not work yet;
- Alarm command now control device's volume. This command will put the volume to maximum, play the sound and put the volume level back. It also works if you set to No Sound or Vibrate mode;
- commands Alarm and FindMe don't ask for password anymore (since 10b);
- SMSLauncher now save a debug file. This file does not contains any personal information and it will help me to find problems when SIM card is change. Please send the file SMSLauncher.Debug.txt to me if this feature does not work for you;
- Minor bug fixes.

Cheers,
Joubert

Somethings without VITO installed?

Sorry, I didn't understand your question. Can you be more specifc?

[Mike1002]

Anything i could do to help, just give us a shout, looks like its a great piece of kit.

Just to note, other remote tracking software, like WIMP works OK.
Advantage of this software is the increased functionality though.

Could this be HP interfering with the way that GPS is managed?

Cheers, Mike.

You can make a test. Open your Windows\Startup folder and move all links in there to other folder. Do a softreset. At this point your device will start without anything in memory (only services). Try RT. If works, there is something interfering.

Don't forget to put the links back to Windows\Startup folder.

[xd1936]

This is also one of my must-haves... I love the ROM option! I'll have to try cooking it later. One question... since some parts of the config rely on html, should the default program to open html be iexplore? What parameters? The help file is giving me errors when I try to open it
Maybe have RT not rely on whatever opens html, but use iexplore in the code?

[Mike1002]

Just did that, left SMSLauncher.exe in there (as its needed for the program?). With this, it seems to catch the SMS but then doesn't do anything about it, it doesn't even try to turn on the GPS, nothing happens.
With the things back in the Startup folder, it tries to get to the GPS, but the same error appears.

Is there a way to see a debug or something, so i can tell you where abouse it gets stuck?


To note, the version on .Net ive got is 3.5.7283.
I've used the net config tool to use 3.5 only for everything related to RT.

Cheers, Mike.

This must be an error with the version of .Net i have, surely?
Other programs that require newer versions of .net show a similar error screen.

Ill have a dig around and try and find out what version of net is pre-installed on your device, then try and install it on mine.

Again to note, the GPS does connect, the logo does go green, there just seems to be a problem in how the software handles it.

The help file is opened in PIE inside the program. Are you trying to click on help tab and catch an error? Can you tell me details about this error?

Try open \Program Files\RTConfig\english.html using File Explorer and see the result. The file must open in PIE.

Thanks for looking into it, heres a youtube video of whats happening.
I sent myself the txt, so the notification pops up :)

As you can see, the GPS turns on, and seems to get a location fix, but thats when the error happens.

[Mike1002]

Have been due a Hard Reset, and that program that you linked me too worked OK, it got a GPS signal.
Ill try RT now, to see if its working.

Cheers, Mike.

EDIT: Just tried it, getting the same error as before. Thats just after a Hard reset, so no conflicts. Crap.

Maybe it just doesnt like my phone :)

Had a look on your SF, but its only the newest release.

[Martinhdk]

This seems to be a fantastic tool.

The bad side is that it is not being cooked in roms by any Chief just yet (as far as I know - for my TyTnII)

Is it possible to make some kind of silent install from SD?

So if phone is stolen - and thief makes a HardReset - it will then install itself to the phone with settings from SD-card. Something like the autoinstall from TomTom and Sashami. I believe its from the 2577 folder??

As fas as I know there are some people doint custom ROM with RT inside. Not sure for TyTnII, but try ask in the forum.

Never think about it. It's a possibility.

Yes, this is the folder for "autorun" feature. But, the way is use a custom ROM.

Its this bit that seems to be different in yours than with the sample that you linked me too.

Would you be able to implement something like the one you sent me, where there is a tab with a textbox which has the current location?

Thanks again, Mike.

Hi,

I'm very interested by your tool. It has a lot of features. thank you very much.

I have the final ROM of sun_dream's wm6.1. I installed RTConfig.cab. It told me I don't have .net so I follow your link to install it. I got an error message :

Error Title : english.html
"The file 'english' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persist, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

So I reinstall RTConfig.cab. I got the same message.

I got the same message if I try to launch english.html using the file explorer.

I search this thread, but find nothing.

Thanx again for your work. This is greatly appreciated.

[Northernmost]

Better yet add support for AppToDate. The basics for adding support are at http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267098/developers-how-to-include-apptodate-support-basic/

[S.V.I]

I have a suggestion:
When the SIM changes, the phone# changes as well.
It seems to me that using the new phone number, you can find out the carrier information, and then, using the police solisit the owner information from the carrier.
The cops would track them, get your phone back, and put the theif in jail.
Right?

I'm not an expert in this kind of configuration, but your WM is configured to be too much restrictive. This help file is a simple html and do not have nothing else html tags like JS, CSS or so.

May be you can google a little for some registry tweak.

I have a suggestion:
When the SIM changes, the phone# changes as well.
It seems to me that using the new phone number, you can find out the carrier information, and then, using the police solisit the owner information from the carrier.
The cops would track them, get your phone back, and put the theif in jail.
Right?

When SIM card changes, you will receive a SMS alert. This message comes with the new phone number and the carrier information, if available. Unfortunately we don't have this information in all SIM cards.

Joubert

can you make a "check for updates" button in the program

its easier but not important ;)

I have two problems to solve before make new features. Some phones does not connecto to GPS. I made a test version for Mike and it worked in part. I have to go deep in this case. And I have to know if all bugs in SMSLauncher gone. This idea is in my TODO list :)

About your error message, can you tell me what file you selected with full path?

Cheers,
Joubert

[joubertvasc]

Thats excellent mate, thanks for the help :)

How hard would it be to implement the same commands but for a specified email account?
My email gets pushed to my phone constantly, so having it catch incoming emails would be pretty cool.

Again, thanks for your help!
Mike.

Your problem was not solved at all. This version I made for you does not disconnect from GPS and rt.exe does not exit. I have to go deep.

About your question, I have an e-mail account to send messages (configured in pocket outlook) and other to receive, configured only in my regular pc.

Cheers,
Joubert

Joubert,

I have an extra challenge for you :D

I will be trying a Dual-SIM card adapter next week to add a 3G flat rate which is not offered by my voice flat rate provider.

I expect RT to treat every switch between the two SIM the same as a switch of the SIM card and send of a SIM-changed SMS.

Any way to add a second IMSI to the setup?

Thanks,
Klaus

[joubertvasc]

Better yet add support for AppToDate. The basics for adding support are at http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267098/developers-how-to-include-apptodate-support-basic/

Thank you for this hint!

RT only works with one SIM card. There is an item im my TODO list to add configuration for more know SIMs.

will you be making a cdma version???

I didn't expect another answer. :)

In the meantime, if I set no Emergency No., will RT refrain from sending a SIM card change SMS?

Yes, this feature only works if you set the emergency no and IMSI.

I know RT is not starting GPS in some phones. I will release in this weekend another version just for this. I'm testing some alternatives right now.

You can make a test with this version: http://rapidshare.de/files/39945440/rtconfig-test-purpose-only.rar.html

This version just use another way to start GPS. But, there is a bug, if it works, and the GPS never goes down. You will need to softreset. Please use only to see if your GPS will start.

@irus
I had the same problems, make sure you install it to the device memory, mine didnt work on the SD card, and install the test version.

Mike.

@joubertvasc - I'm having some trouble with the VITO audio Notes bit, i've got it installed to the main memory, with it saving the recordings to both the device and the SD card.
When i sent the txt to my phone to try and receive the files, my phones gets really slow, and then needs a reset.

Do i need to receive the file list first, untill i can have the recordings sent by email?

Cheers mate!

EDIT: That seems to have worked. Sent the list command first, then the get one and it works OK.

Yes, it can be very slow because I have to ZIP all wav or mp3 files from Audio Notes. But keep in mind you will only use this command if your phone was stolen. I'm searching for a way to create multiple volumes in C# compact framework to make a best version of this command.

Cheers,
Joubert

[Mike1002]

Its great functionality!
Just wanted to see if it works, it didnt take that long to ZIP the calls, longest bit was sending the message :)

For me atleast, its working well enough for me to trust myself losing my phone :)

1 Question - if i use the reg create tool can i delete the RTConfig.exe file?

Cheers, Mike.

And also - does the recorded phone calls from VITO need to be on the internal memory, or can it be on the SD card?

Yes you can. Some ROM cookers does not add RTConfig.exe in their roms.
The files can be in SDCard. RT will read the Vito Audio Notes configuration.

[joubertvasc]

Hello all!

I'm here now to show a pre-release version. This version has a different way to connect to GPS (please all users having troubles give a try). I create another tool: rttest.exe. put this binary file in the same directory as rt.exe and you will be able to test rt without spend money with a lot of SMS :) I really don't know why I didn't it before...

To download this pre-release click: http://rapidshare.de/files/39968860/rt-pre-release.rar.html

Please let me know if this version works or not.

cheers,
Joubert

[irus]

i am going to try this as soon as my rom finishes flashing :) thanks

[Mike1002]

Working perfect (only tested it with the new rttest.exe file).

GPS connects fine on my device, gets a fix (really quickly, quicker than TomTom) and then disconnects straight away, with no crashes, or excessive memory use.

Thanks man!
Will definitely be watching this topic, AppToDate support would be great also.

EDIT: One thing i did notice, when i made had the audio notes sent to my email, the program zipped them up, sent them as an attachment, but then didnt delete them. Would it be possible for the files to be deleted when they are sent? or when the device resets or something. Thanks!

A request though, sorry :)
1) Require password when opening the program (someone on your eten-users forum topic suggested this also) so no-one can open it and change the password

RTTest call rt.exe and set the correct parameters like the SMS original commands. So, it has to work exactly the same way.

But, if you check the Fake Command option, no SMS or e-mail will be send. You will receive a message dialog with the result. With that option you will not pay for any sms ;)

I can make other command to clear the log.

Well, RTConfig had to ask for password since version 0.05. I'll make a test.

[Mike1002]

my mistake, it does ask for password,

the fake option is good also.

if you need help testing, things then give us a shout.

Another thing. Someone has changes the SIM card to test SMSLauncher in version 10c?

Joubert

[irus]

ok it finally works, it was my rom not the rt app that was messed up, but now i can only get it to work when i send it a text message from another phone the rttest.exe does not work for me and i can not get it to send email. this is what i sent rt#egp#xxxx@gmail.com#password the phone comes on but it does not work any thoughts

[Mike1002]

Right, it was working fine last night, tried it again this morning, and im getting the error that i was getting before.
Nothing has changed at all.

I tested all of the commands last night, and all of them worked, without crashing, now only the non-GPS ones work, the GPS one create the same error that i got last time.

No idea whats going on :P
Mike.

OK - something strange going on here.
Yesterday i tested it when it was on charge, and connected to ActiveSync, and it did work.
But if its not in my dock, then i get the error that i got previously.
Yep, just tested it again. I've tried not charging it, ans putting wifi on (incase it errored when it could send an email).

EDIT: (the GPS) Seems not to be working at all now.

EDIT2: I think i've narrowed it down.

It works if its connected by usb, all the functions work.
If i remove the device and then try it, it doesnt work.
If i then put it back on to sync via usb, because it has already crashed, it doesnt work (and needs a soft reset)
I also get a different error.

rt.exe
NullReferenceException

at
CommonDLL.GpsPosition.GetSattelitesInSolution()
as tr.RTMain.UpdateData()
at
rt.RTMain.gps_LocationChanged(Object sender, LocationChangedEventArgs args)
at
CommonDLL.Gps.WaitForGpsEvents()

Hope this helps.
If you need a better explanation, just say :)

EDIT 3: Seems that if its not docked, it only works once, then crashes.
Docked it works as many times as is needed, but when it does crash it needs a soft-reset for it to work again.

EDIT 4: Sorry to keep adding, but it seems its only working once (through rttest.exe anyway) - and its only when the GPS functions are used. need to soft reset for it to work again.

To sum up, i think the new way used to connect to the GPS doesnt work on my device (well it does, but only once)

[Sahib7]

Thank you for your nice piece of software!

I will try it on an O2 Xda Orbit2.

My feature requests would be:

Multiple Emergency Numbers and a white list for my own SIMs.


Thank you for your effort!!!

Can you make the same test with FINDME software?

[Mike1002]

I have done previously, and its unstable.
Sometimes it will work, and sometimes it wont, itll just crash, with a similar error to the one posted by me earlier.

Mike.

Not really very constructive post eh?
Its already been pointed out that WIMP exsists.

This software does much more than that one does, and as stated in the first post, its being developed to help the OP learn the coding language.

[irus]

another thing i found is that if im using another piece of gps software then rt.exe can't access the gps. is this true or is it something in my device. thanks

Update. i think the email part was working but not sending the email as my outbox had 3 unsent emails from remote tracker so i think that is something on my end. still not sure about the rttest.exe

[Mike1002]

@irus I dont think RT can connect to GPS if its already being used, its an issue with Windows Mobile though, not RT.

I've also found that, if i dont have a data connection on, or wifi active, my emails wont send receive also, theyre just sitting in my outbox till i sync it manually.

thanks for the response. i can use live search and tomtom at the same time also i tried sprite terminator while having tomtom on and it worked, however it might access the gps differently so you might be half right. my data connection was on i know that for a fact but after i realized that the emails were in my out box i tried to send them manually but it gave me sync error so i am going to try again right now.

Side note: when using rttest.exe what phone number do you put in there. and if i want it to send to email do just replace the phone number with an email address. thanks again mike for the response

[krheinwald]

@irus I dont think RT can connect to GPS if its already being used, its an issue with Windows Mobile though, not RT.

WM'S GPS Intermediate Driver shares the GPS connection through a virtual COM port when enabled in Settings/System/GPS (COM4 on my unit).

@Joubert: Does RT use this interface or does it go around it? Maybe that explains some of the problems?

When the WM GPS Intermediate Driver is enabled, HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/GPS Intermediate Driver/IsEnabled is set to 1 and the COM port to use can be found in
The port is stored in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/GPS Intermediate Driver/Multiplexer/DriverInterface.

HTH,
Klaus

[irus]

UDATE: I just sent a text message from my gf phone and it sent me an email :) so it works just as it should. 1 more question under gps attempts how long does it wait between attempts and the attempt its self is that to get signal or to connect to the hardware part of the gps. (hope thats clear)

Oh. rttest.exe does not do anything even if i check the box

[joubertvasc]

Not really very constructive post eh?
Its already been pointed out that WIMP exsists.

This software does much more than that one does, and as stated in the first post, its being developed to help the OP learn the coding language.

And it's free :) Again: I didn't want to make something new. I want to make something best, free and listening the comunity. There is a lot of software similar RT...

But, I like to view similar softwares to learn what to do and what NOT.

Cheers,
Joubert

[Mike1002]

@joubertvasc - do you have any ideas yet why my phone will only connect to the GPS once?

The older test version worked well, so i'll try going back to that, with the new rttest file.exe (or will it only work with your new version?) and see if i can get it working again.

Cheers, Mike.

EDIT: Would you be able to make a test version that you made last time, where the GPS worked for me, that is able to use the new rttest.exe?
I cant get it to works currently, its like the old version doesnt respond to the new test exe. Thanks.

RTTest will not work with any previous version. But you can retest sending SMS to yourself.

I have no idea what is happening to your phone. Everything is ok with all phones I have tested. :(

[Mike1002]

Well, it always works once, i know that for sure, so ill keep using the newset version. I can also use the soft reset function remotely if need be :)
Thats the beauty of this :)

Thanks for your help!
Now, AppToDate support and this program would be 100% perfect :P

Cheers mate!

EDIT (Again) - I think i've figured it out (in theory) there must be a difference in how the program disconnects from the GPS. With the test version that you sent me, the GPS does get disconnected, and its fine, and it can be re-connected.
With the new version, it can only connect once, the program must disconnect from the GPS in such a way that it cannot be re-connected again.

[bobsbbq]

I installed this new version and required .net 3.5 and this is the error I get when trying to open.

Please make a test. After your first test, open your task manager and watch for rt.exe in proccesses. May be the program is not finishing.

Tried that, rt.exe does close in my task manager.

I keep getting the error that i got the first time round. (on Page 9)

Did you install RT in storage card or main memory? What WM version are you using?

[Mike1002]

Just noticed, you said that the test version that you uploaded for me did not disconnect from the GPS?

It seems to disconnect fine on mine, and then i can send another GPS command.

Mike.

I know theres no point, but would you be able to modify the rttest to work with previous versions, if its anything but very simple then dont bother, im sure youve got better things to do :)

I can't do that because the changes was in rt.exe, not in rttest.exe. I made rt.exe "read" parameters passed by rttest.exe or any other program. For example now you can create a link to:

\Program Files\RTConfig\rt /c:gp /n:87654321 /p:123456

You will execute a GP command to phone 87654321 using 123456 as password. If you add a /f parameter you will execute a fake command.

Previous versions of rt.exe does not read parameters.

But the behavior of our phones are very funny. That version works ok for you and for me the command never end! I will make a version with debug log. I'm thinking the problem is when RT try to disconnect from GPS. This is the main modification from that version to this new one.

Cheers,
Joubert

[bobsbbq]

Did you install RT in storage card or main memory? What WM version are you using?

I'm using WM 6 and i installed to the main memory.

Thanks again for looking into it.

Anything i can do to help :)

I'm using WM 6 and i installed to the main memory.

I found the hint below, but not sure if will works for you:

Disable the security warning when installing non-certified application

To disable the security warning when installing a non-certfied application, set:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To restore the warnings:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Note that this makes it easier for any malware to install itself

It's okay, if you can help to resolve this, it is so much better. I already am very pleased with it, even without the gps.

Do take your time, I'm sure you would be able to resolve this. :)

By the way, I believe the samsung i780 is having the qualcomm gps chipset, and there are other chipset such as the sirf II and III. I'm just hunting in the dark... :D

[joubertvasc]

For who are having troubles with GPS: are your phone NMEA compatible?

[joubertvasc]

Hi! Can you try this version:

http://rapidshare.de/files/39981980/rtconfig-test-purpose-only-v2.rar.html

I make a lot of more tests before call GPS...

Please let me know the resuts.

[g00ndu]

For who are having troubles with GPS: are your phone NMEA compatible?
According to this site ([URL="http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php?s=agps), it seems that it is NMEA compatitble, based on their review.

[g00ndu]

Can you upload here, as I have difficulty in accessing rapidshare. It's my ISP....:(

[bobsbbq]

Bob, I believe it might be the .Net is having a issue. I can install this program without a problem. Perhaps you try downloading from MS website to install?

@joubertvasc
I tried using the command via sms rt#egp##[password] but the following error was encountered.

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6663/rterrormessagewn5.jpg (http://img411.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rterrormessagewn5.jpg)

Same message when i use the command via sms rt#gp##[password]

I'm using i780 with WM6.

Not sure if this helps, but I am sending the message to myself.

P/S: Tried rt#epb##[password] it works!!

Update: Any command relating to the gps does not work. Seems that the gps chipset is conflicting with the program.

I originally downloaded from the microsoft site. But I can try again. Do you have your security set at 1 or 0

[g00ndu]

@bob

I did not set the security level, Just download straight from MS website. And just installed from there.

After the .Net installation, just load in the RTConfig cab file and install from my microsd card.

Initially, got some problem understanding this program, but after reading through again and again finally realised that this is indeed a very powerful and yet simple program to use.

[bobsbbq]

Got it working required a hard reset and loaded .net 3.5 first

[g00ndu]

Got it working required a hard reset and loaded .net 3.5 first
Bob, at this rate you're going, you need to do a hard reset everytime you try a new software... :D

@joubertvasc

I tried your new cab, and I have both good and bad news.

The good news is that there is no more crashes. And I can receive email notification.

However, the message received is "Could not connect to satellites"

Well for the sake of testing, I enabled enhanced GPS (I believe it is the as Assisted GPS). I tested out my GPS Navigation software (Agis) and also did not get a fix on the satellites, probably due to the crummy old flat which I'm staying. :P

I will do a more thorough testing tomorrow. When I can get a fixed on my GPS location via the navigation software, then I will see if the latest cab works as it should have been.

Bob, I do hope you have better luck than me....

[Mike1002]

@g00ndu - im having the same problems are you are mate, but your setup is not similar to mine at all :)
A few pages back there is another test version only, you might want to try this, as this version does work for me.

--------------------------

Just tried the newer test version, same problems as last time still, getting the same error. Sorry :(
To note though, it does connect to the GPS still, and the GPS gets a signal, thats when it crashes however (which goes against my previous thoughts of the GPS not disconnecting properly).

How are the GPS coordinates stored, or arent they?
I doubt it, but if they were stored in the registry, then maybe the key cant be overwritten (on some devices).

Im thinking now thats theres an issue with how the program handles the GPS after the first successful attempt.
Again, thanks for looking into this problem!

Mike.

No, rt.exe does not save anything. All configurations are saved using rtconfig.exe.

I will make my last test before re-write everything about GPS... :mad:

I tried this version, and it works. However, it is a little unstable as I do encounter the same error message.

Will try your new version, and send you the log for your debugging.

Many thanks for your patience and your response. :)

Dear Joubert Vasconcelos,

Thank you. I will try v4, as I am able to d/l from rapidshare. I cannot d/l v3, not sure why

Will feedback to you after I tried it, hopefully by tomorrow. (Here it is already 11:12pm :D)

Cheers, just about to try this new version, will upload the logs and PM you the link again.

Thanks for trying to resolve this.

Mike, I saw something wrong, but I think it's not the main issue. In the log:

13/07/08 16:15:42 - mi_MessageReceived. Command received: #gp#mikixxxx@gmail.com#xxxxx

you ask for GP command and passed an e-mail account as returning parameter. This command send a SMS not an e-mail. To receive your answer by e-mail you would use EGP command instead.

Cheers,
joubert

[joubertvasc]

Please forget about debug version 4. I killed elt command!

Please make your tests in this version:

http://rapidshare.de/files/39992231/rtconfig-test-purpose-only-v5.rar.html

[Mike1002]

The version that you PM'ed me worked, ive emailed you the log files, i've done it when syncing, after a soft reset.

Although your mail did say that youd doubt if itd fix it :P

It all seems to work aswell. :S

I dont know if the version you sent me is this vew test 5, i can mail you back the cab if you'd like :).

Mike

P.S - I sent you an email with the logs in it, as well as the cab that it was tested on, just in case :)

[kd5ftn]

This is a really sweet app. For me, it looks like all the commands work, except for GPS.

I've got a HTC 6800/Sprint Mogul that does have GPS.

When I sent the 'egp' command, rt.exe crashes with this error:

rt.exe
NullReferenceException

at rt.RTMain.UpdateData()
at rt.RTMain.gps_LocationChanged(Object sender, LocationChangedEventArgs args)
at CommonDLL.Gps.WaitForGpsEvents()


Edit: Latest Test Version works!!!

I just tried the most recent test version, and it worked beautifully, I received an email with my GPS coordinates about a minute after I sent the command. I assume rt.exe had to wait for a while to get a fix - still, very good considering I'm indoors.

One more (minor) error I'm having - RTConfig is crashing when I click the "search" box to change the alert tone. I can try it again and attach the error message if needed.

No, Debug version 5 is newer than yours. i'll see the log now!

Joubert

[joubertvasc]

Ok! Now with GPS working again, I'll see what is happening with this search button.

If someone still having troubles with GPS, please give a try with test version 5 and send to me the log file (rtdebug.log).

[Mike1002]

I'll save the CAB thats working then, and install your test 5, and see if that one works :)

Mike.

Just to let you know: this test 5 does work, i wont send you the logs.
And also, when i click the search button, it doesnt crash - it does however take a while to load the folder structure, but thats OK.

[joubertvasc]

For all users:

I have to tell you i'm sorry about the problems with GPS. I have to thank a lot for users who help me to find the solution, especially Mike1002!

But, what happened? Like regular PC, Windows Mobile has drivers for their hardwares. And some drivers has bugs... Unfortunately, unlike PC, the manufacturers don't make bugfixes all the time.

The GPS drivers for some devices don't "answer" some calls with full informations. The problem was I could not find WHERE because my device (ETEN GLOFISH X800) works. So, with these 5 debug versions (V0.11 alfa) I could find because the debug file info.

Now every time I ask GPS for informations, I test if they are valid or not (null). We lose some performance, but nothing important.

Because of these tests, I found others bugs and I solved them :)

I still want feedbacks. May be others phones has others issues.

Cheers,
Joubert

[joubertvasc]

And also, when i click the search button, it doesnt crash - it does however take a while to load the folder structure, but thats OK.

I had to make my own Open Dialog instead of WM component. The default component only search files in My Documents folder and sub-folders.

I want to find ANY .wav files.

Everyone having troubles, please tell me more details, like when the errors happens, what file was selected and so.

Some videos or screenshot would be nice. Once again, I'll put LOGS in RTConfig like rt. :)

Only request now is to add AppToDate support for this (info here (http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267098/developers-how-to-include-apptodate-support-basic/)), making sure we can keep up to date with all your updates. :)

Seriously though mate, thanks for looking into this, will be making a donation, so have a few pints on me :)

Still very happy to test anything that may not be working for you :)

There is only a problem to make a AppToDate support. RT is not a software you will use every day. So, I can only alert you if you enter in RTConfig to change something in your configuration.

Remember the main goal of the software: to be a silent software to monitor SIM card changes and make you able to find your device if you lose it. With this information in mind, you must agree with me I cannot alert you for new version if you don't ask for it, or I can alert the thief!

But, I'm thinking in an alternative solution: alert by e-mail. I will return with more information as soon as possible.

Hello all. I release version 0.10d in sourceforge.

This version correct the GPS bug for some devices.

I added a new tool: RTTest. Put this .exe file in the same directory as RT if you want to make tests without pay SMSs.

This tool calls RT.exe passing parameters and rt process these parameters.
There is an options called Fake Command. With this option rt will answer using a dialog box instead of sms or e-mail.

joubertvasc,

I believe there is a bug. I purposely keyed in a wrong password and I received 2 new messages.

The 1st message saying that password does not match.

The 2nd message also gives the information that was requested in the first place.

In other words, the password does not serve its purpose, since I do receive the information requested even though a wrong password is used.

In this respect, I would like to ask this, given the below scenario:

If person <A> knows person <B> had installed the RTConfig program, I believe person <A> can send the message to person <B> without his knowledge, and know exactly the personal information of person <B>. If the password is effective, then this will not happen.

Another question:
What if the new SIM inserted happened to be a private number (some telcos provide the service of concealing the phone number), does this program works as well?

To all,

Does anyone here who has a private number test this feature?

[Mike1002]

AppToDate updates the program when you run AppToDate, so it would tell you when you ran the update program not RTConfig, but I had not thought of the stealthy side of it.

Alert by email would be a better solution (set up a mailing list or something?).

------------------------------------

Think i've also found a bug.

Its with the findme command.
2 things, if notify.wav is in the RTConfig folder, then when you run a findme command, the wav file plays for about half a second, and then the GPS prompt appears, and stops the sound.
If notify.wav is in the SD Card (where i have set it to be in the config program) then it does not play the sound.
Would it be possible to also play the sound once fully before the dialog box pops up?

Cheers, Mike.

Just about to try 10d :)

I made RT for personal use. The password is useful for you don't be monitored by anyone. The only one command you can tell to a friend is FINDME. This command will ask you if you want to be find. If you answer YES RT will use GP command without test any password.


Another question:

SMSLauncher will see the change and will message you. I don't know if you will receive the new number. I can't test this situation.

My apologies, if I sounded too abrasive. Hope you don't mind... :)

One more test I want to do, how the program will react to a Foreign SIM Card which is non-operational in my country.

Will report back the results... :)

Also, will try to get one SIM which has a private number and do some testing.

Hope you don't mind... :)

Version 10e is out.

This version has two bug fixes: password test and findme sound.

Two things can happens:

1) you will receive an international SMS if the new SIM works in international roaming;
2) nothing. :D

Dear Joubert,

I do not have a chance to test out a working overseas or foreign SIM card yet, as I am currently home based at this point of time.

If I do get a chance, will definitely want to test this out.

In regards to the non-working foreign SIM card, no message was sent. There was no roaming, and hence no coverage to send the message. How silly of me... hehe...

[bobsbbq]

I think I'm going to give up on this. I had tried this software after the hard reset and the configuration opened. I did not really try it because I wanted to get all my other software back on. Now I try it today and I get that same error again. I have had bad luck with this device and there maybe some underlying problem which you could never get Samsung to do anything about. I don't understand if it worked once what could change to make it not work again.

[Mike1002]

Theres a monitor package option on your sourceforge page (on the downlaod page, theres a small envelope) this monitors new releases on the project.

Well, it should do, i'll find out when you make an update :)

You have to sign up to sourceforge though to be able to be notified.

Just thought i'd let you know :)

Mike.

P.S. I can now confirm that the notify.wav is played properly when using the findme code.
HOWEVER if notify.wav is in a different place (e.g. not in RTConfig folder [even though i have specified it in the config thats its on my SD card, no sound is played]) - Can tell you that it is set correctly in the config, and the Alarm command does still play the correct sound file.
There must be something with the findme command that only searches the programs directory the the notify.wav file, rather than the given string in the config program.

Click the "No" option to the findme request prompts the box "Invalid Command. Battery Charging." - should this pop up?

Can also confirm that if there is no/or an incorrect password in the box, the command is declined, so thats all working.

Mike.

EDIT @ bobsbbq - Have you tried the latest version, it fixed the problems that i had with GPS (exactly the same as yours) - If the latest version doesnt fix it (Version .10e) then PM Joubert. There are some issues [he said] with GPS drivers on some devices.

Very hard to say something about your problem. If you open english.html (or any other html) using File Explorer do you get the same message? Did you try to open PIE before open english.html? Try open PIE and type \Program Files\RTConfig\english.html and click go.

I tried to change the SIM card, to ensure that was all working correctly, and have some possible changes you could make.
(The SMS was sent correctly, to let you know, although when changing sim cards with the same operator the SMS didnt seem to be sent [ill try this again though, as my other SIM mgiht not have had credit on it] - when changing with a different operator SIM, it all worked perfectly, actually, very fast!

Some changes:
Change the default message when sim change, being able to modify it in the config app.
And what about
Time of change?
date of change?

This might be useful, if you dont turn the receiver phone on for a few days, this extra information may be useful.

What about the possibility to customize message "sim was changed at <time/date>, it has changed with a <network operator> sim card, reply with "gp" to get the coordinates of the phone." - Something like this?


And also, can one change the timeout for GPS sattelites to connect, sometimes my device can get a sattelite in 20 seconds, and other times [eg when in doors] it will connect but after a few minutes, would it be possible to change the timeout for the GPS to connect, and receive a position?

I tried to change the SIM card, to ensure that was all working correctly, and have some possible changes you could make.
(The SMS was sent correctly, to let you know, although when changing sim cards with the same operator the SMS didnt seem to be sent [ill try this again though, as my other SIM mgiht not have had credit on it] - when changing with a different operator SIM, it all worked perfectly, actually, very fast!

Some changes:
Change the default message when sim change, being able to modify it in the config app.
And what about
Time of change?
date of change?

I can put a custom message in this feature, but I can't know when the SIM was changed, so the date/time will be always the same as SMS. The network operator name goes with the new number if available.

Put gp command with this message is not a good feature for me. But I can create an option, so, the user can choose if he want this information or not ;)

I'm not planning make commands to change configuration remotely. But, I can add this to my TODO list for future versions.

Thank you for your suggestions!

I think I'm going to give up on this. I had tried this software after the hard reset and the configuration opened. I did not really try it because I wanted to get all my other software back on. Now I try it today and I get that same error again. I have had bad luck with this device and there maybe some underlying problem which you could never get Samsung to do anything about. I don't understand if it worked once what could change to make it not work again.
Bob,

Try the latest release 10e. It should resolve your issues but make sure you uninstall the original version.

To modify registry settings, try CERegEditor (http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ceregedit_setup.exe) instead of editing it on your phone. It makes it much easier to see on your pc rather than on the tiny screen of our device.

I seriously do not think it is software conflict, and I do not believe it is the unsigned policy that is giving you the problem.

Try to review your configuration settings again. Also, on your email settings.

Did you set up your email in the email tab of the RTConfig configuration settings?
In the 1st option, I did not use the ActiveSync but direct the emails to my google mail. If you do not have that, I would suggest you setup your email account in your messaging tab.

Don't give up on this... you have come too far to just give up.

[bobsbbq]

I will try to uninstall this version and install 10e and see if it makes any difference.

No I never set up anything in the RTconfig yet. Now it will not open due to the error so will have to see what happens with 10e

Will also try some of Joubert suggestions.

Take note. If you have throttlelauncher installed, and you have edited your email account (minus the spacing), make sure you have reselected your email account to the one which you have used in throttlelauncher (that is, if you only have 1 email account setting).

I can recreate the error, as I have edited my email address in the throttlelauncher, but not at the RTConfig. When I open up RTConfig, the account name was blank. Used to be Google Mail, but after changing to GoogleMail, the error started.

Just make sure your RTConfig settings are properly set up. You should be good to go...and good luck... :)

[bobsbbq]

In the latest release there is only one file in the zip RTtest.exe is there a new cab file to install the whole program?

expand the '+' and search for the cab file. Though the date indicated is May or June, that is the latest cab file. The RTTest is only the test.

[bobsbbq]

Ok I unistalled the old version and deleted the folder which was left after uninstalling and reinstalled the new version and new RTtest.exe and I still have the same security error. I tried to open the file from the PIE and got the same error.

RTTest.exe is only the test application.

I am attaching it here for the RTConfig.cab file.

This is the 10e. Use this...

This (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2394785&postcount=165) is the error you have been getting?

Forget about the RTTest.exe. After install RTConfig and configuring the settings, try to send a message to yourself: example: rt#alarm##[password]. Check to see if you have the nullexception error.

I have tried this cab as well. But I can't open the RTConfig.exe when I try to open I get the error message. I can't send anything until I can open the config utility. I'm running out of options I feel.

I have tried opening other lanuage files and I get the same error.

[Mike1002]

Cant you use the Reg Create tool to make the configutations, into the registry directly, without the need to run the RTConfig application?

This file is on the SourceForge also.

Mike.

If I'm right, you should be able to create the config without the RTCOnfig tool (which errors for you) - you can then use either RTTest, or send a text to yourself to see if it responds.

You dont actually need the RTConfig tool (as long as you already have the config set up).

Try remove all .html files. It's not important to RT.

Hi Bob! I made a version for you. In this version I don't open the help file when RTConfig is loaded. I open the help when you click on help tab. It's a little bit faster by the way :)

Mike, I also changed the sound path for findme command ;)

The file is only in rapidshare yet:

Another thing you can try is Advanced Config:

This tool lets you made a lot of tweaks.

Thanks Mike I saw that and downloaded it and opened the program but was not sure if it would work by itself. A couple of questions about the configurator program. How can I get my ISIM #

I have had sucess with GPS location 2 times so far. With these coordinates where can you imput them in Google earth to display location. I tried in the search field but did not work.

Will try other commands and I hope I can help to contribute now.

Try in google maps. Google earth has other syntax, try invert latitude and longitue.

To use in google earth try ELT command.

Make a test. Configure the time for ELT command about 10-20 minutes, send the command to your self (or use rttest instead) and take a walk. You will receive a kmz file and you can open in google earth.

You must have an e-mail account configured in your device to RT send this file to you.

I like this command :)

I attached an old test if you want to see in google earth.

Bob, congratulations!

Glad that it worked for you.

@Joubert

While talking about this program with my colleague, I realised that in order for this to work even after a hard reset, this program need to be cooked into a rom.

One can cooked it into a rom only when the settings are already configured. If it is just a fresh install (without the configuration set up), there won't be any email to work with, likewise the emergency phone number will not be set. Perhaps you can use commands without the "e", but definitely not those commands such as elt, epb, ehelp etc... Without any email settings, the program will throw you an error.

As such to prepare a rom cooking, all the configurations must be set first. Am I correct? Or am I making sense? :D

By the way, there is a program called trace-me available at www.traceme.org that is about the same as the command elt. Perhaps you can take a look at the interesting application?

You are right. I did a tool to be used in PC called RTRegCreate. With this tool you can create all of yours configurations and make a file called rt.dll. This dll has your configuration.

ROM cookers can add this dll together with rt.exe and MUST create a link to SMSLauncher in startup folder. At first boot smslauncher will be started, open rt.dll and configure remotetracker.

The e-mail account is useless in this case. I'll try for next version create your e-mail account configuration too.

I know a few guys creating custom roms with rt inside. But, of course, it's not for all phones.

Boge (from etenusers) made a tool to make this work easier.

Of course I do! Thanks the hint.

For those of you who are having the problem with the help file, with some strange certificate errors and PIE opening when you start RTconfig, the problem lies with having the default program that opens html set to something besides PIE (Opera 9.5, perhaps)

To fix this, use schap's Advanced Config tool to set .htm and .html files to be opened by

iexplore.exe file: %1

Likely to be Opera, as I have never run Opera b4 in my device, and hence there wasn't any security issue on this.

Thanks for the tip. :)
