Hi,

first many thanks for the android version.

And now my problem, I'am using my own server on port 8080. I've entered the URL Header h**p://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080 and got only an error 401, but didn't find any entries in my log. After a while of searching, I found the entrys on my 2. server running on port 80.

Regards Martin

Not sure if I understand the problem. As far as I know port 8080 is an alternate of port 80. What happens if you access the server like h**p://xx.xx.xx.xx:80?

Likewise. This Android version is working like a charm. Thanks LEM!

Thanks!! :eek:

Would it be possible to run trackme as a service? For my Desire Z it seems somehow to shutdown sometimes when I'm using some other programs when using TM (eg. Foursquare). So I could be sure that it will be run on background when using some other progs. I'm not using any software that would kill processes.

Did this happen while your were tracking? When you start tracking a service is created so it should never (well, almost never) be destroyed. I have tested this a lot. If you are not tracking, it can be destroyed but you don't really lose anything. I did it this way to save as much memory as possible.
Please let me know because I really want this to work fine. I spent a long time on this part and I want it right! :)


And how about some features that WM -version had? Eg. when turning with some degrees it would push current location right away to the server (and send also angle parameter to the database).

The angle parameter will be probably added for the next version. Also the force update. Uploading only when turning I think it will take a little bit longer because it took me a while to do for WM and I want the basic functionality first.


Thanks a lot for your feedback! Please keep it on!

That's true. When tracking was on trackme was in service mode and after "stopping" tracking it went into background -mode. I'll make some field testing with trace log enabled and try to verify that issue. It's quite possible that I have messed up somehow :rolleyes: with this. If I find some issues I will keep you posted.

It seems the port in the url is ignored. I can put there any number and trackme connects everytime to h**p://xx.xx.xx.xx:80

I see. There I cannot really help you. I don't have too much experience configuring web servers. Hopefully somebody from the forum can give you more information. Sorry about that.

Hi,

the Server is working fine with the Windows mobile version (WM6.5). This isue is only with the version for Android. The port in the url completly ignored.

You can test it enter http://luisespinosa.com:8080/trackme in the Header field and your data will be uploaded normaly to your server on port 80.

Regards Martin

I just want to use my own web server, but when I'm going on Google to get my Maps API, Google tells me :

Note: The Google Maps Javascript API Version 2 has been officially deprecated as of May 19, 2010. Version 3 does not require an API key. The V2 API will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but we encourage you to migrate your code to version 3 of the Maps Javascript API.

does someone is familiar with that ?


Hi lemassykoi,

you can require your API key and use this server without problems. You can also try my server, wich uses openstreetmaps. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12165927&postcount=267

martinr63,

I found the problem and it should be fixed now. I uploaded a new version 1.0.1 that should take care of it. Please let me know if it worked for you.

It seems that the column Speed on your database cannot take all the decimal values. Could you check if the column definition for Speed looks like mine?

I set up Minimum time to 10 sec, and my GPS icon does not stay in taskbar, it only appear for the first position, after that it disappears, and come back for 2 secs, then hidden for around 60 secs, and come back for 2 secs... and so on.
On my first screenshot, you can see tracking timestamps, from 07.30.10 to 07.32.26 and I get only one position. If no GPS Signal, no accuracy, so no upload, right ?

could it be ROM related ? My ROM is a custom one

thanks for all

here is my screenshot :

    HISTORY

    TrackMe is the conversion of the popular tool written originally for Windows Mobile 5 and 6. This version for Android has widely extended the WM version and includes tons of new features. You can find the original thread for TrackMe for WM here

    WHAT IS TRACKME?

    TrackMe is a GPS/WiFi/Cell ID tracker. It records your path, speed, altitude, distance, temperature and other parameters. It can also be started remotely using text messages from any other phone.
    You can view your data (live or recorded) from your phone or also from any browser if you sync it with a TrackMe server.

    Features

    * Works with no internet connection. All your data is stored on your phone unless that you decide to sync it with a TrackMe server.
    * Stealth mode: Start/stop recording or send your position by sms by sending text messages from other phones without having TrackMe installed.
    * Add markers with pictures, comments, file attachments or voice notes to your routes.
    * Automatic image matching. You can match existing photos stored on your phone with any of your routes. TrackMe will try to find the closest match by using the tags stored inside the photos.
    * Detailed route summary.
    * Load any GPX files on the map and follow them!
    * Show nearby markers. Check on the map for nearby markers that you have added previously in other routes. Very useful if you are trying to go back to a place that you have visited before.
    * Cloud sharing. Share public or privately your position on the map. You can use this to meet with a person, if you both got lost from each other, if you want to see where the person is if it went on a trip...
    This feature can be also started and stopped from any other phone using text messages.
    * Export and import routes using KML or GPX files.
    * Share your position on WhatsApp, sms, email, twitter...
    * Highly customizable.
    * Use our own server free of charge or your own!
    * And much more!

    HOW TO USE YOUR OWN SERVER

    CUSTOM WEB VIEWER DEVELOPMENT AND USER PLUGINS

    SYNCING YOUR DATA WITH A TRACKME SERVER (you only need the app on your phone)

    Let's suppose your wife wants to track your location in real-time.

    On your phone: Enable "Sync my positions" in Settings->TrackMe Server Settings->Sync my positions. You also need to enter a username and password.
    Now your wife can go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme from a browser, enter that username and password and enable "Live Tracking On/Off" to see your current position. You need to start recording on the TrackMe app for all this to work.

    Keep in mind that Cloud Sharing is less accurate. Syncing with a TrackMe server will allow you as much accuracy as you need, by adjusting the GPS, WiFi, QuickFix, Minimum Accuracy/Distance/Time values in the settings.

    hey guys,

    I'm back to development! I just uploaded a new version where I have added the initial logic to let users remove ads.
    It's not available yet, it will in the next version.

    Once I have that done, I will add the option to upload images which has been on my to-do list for a long time.

    I also want to create a very light version of TrackMe for tracking phones. I get several emails every week about that asking
    how to do it.

    Glad to be finally back. I'm a little rusty developing on Android, but hopefully it'll be just a matter of time! :angel:

    new web viewer

    Hi!

    I tried posting this in web development thread, but I don't have 10 posts :(
    When I earn some points I may repost it there, where it belongs

    I wrote a web viewer for TrackMe data. It is a complete rewrite of the original viewer. The only thing that is left of old viewer is interface look and feel.
    It uses Google Maps API v3 but I plan to implement also an OpenStreetMap alternative.
    My viewer is based on ajax, so everything works dynamically without page reloading.
    I use TrackMe on Android, so I implemented only the functions present in this version. There is no support for photos or comments. I will surely add those features when they become present on Android :)
    On the other hand I added altitudes graph. I thought about adding other graphs (like speed) and statistics but gps data I get with the Android app often miss info like speed, angle etc. (why?)
    The code is GPL, so everybody can contribute or reuse it. If you make changes to it please contribute your patches back :)

    The code is available at github:
    https://github.com/bfabiszewski/phpTrackme

    You can see a simple demo at:
    http://flaa.fabiszewski.net/phptrackme/
    (auto registration of new users from client is blocked on this site)

    hey guys...new updates soon! Working on TrackMe again with new features ;)
