DCD Carriers CABs
Good stuff! Just upgraded to it.. First point of note, You call it "Beta 2" in the rar file, but its known as Beta 1 in the ROM Update screen... Mmm.. I like the new boot splash, "Microsoft Internal Use Only" and all... I'll report more shortly...
OK... Preliminary findings:
1) GOOD NEWS! Push Mail works without any glitches! Flashed, Hard reset, soft reset, install DCD's Carrier, reset, setup exchange, sync worked, pushed mail, soft reset, still pushes.
2)The Titanium needs some work. Missing some text. You have to see it to understand.
3) HTC Task Manager's Quick Menu (the drop down on Today Screen) runs into the battery bar. battery bar needs to be move over a pixel or two.
4) Nasty dialer. Not going there.
5) The "Blank" sync conduit is still there during Exchange setup. I have screenshots if you want.
6) Windows Update is there... That needs to disappear. It doesn't have the right font. Yuck fu.
7) Skip Welcome needs to be added. The "How to use windows mobile" upon hard reset.
8) Encryption of card is NOT CHECKED now. It's greyed out even. Good stuff.
That's all for now. So far though, I like it!! I LOVE the new graphics! Very slick!!
Oh what the hell, I'll try a new ROM. Haven't in a while.
mr-free, this is the first ROM of yours I've tried. What are your steps for installation? Pllug in the phone and run RomUpdateInstallation or something else? TIA!
Yep... flashing now. Will report back.
Loaded fine, makes calls fine, but IE won't open and ActiveSync doesn't work connecting to Exchange 2003 SP2 and looks to have no data connection.
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To check your connection settings, select Start, then Settings, then Connections"
Support code: 0x85020006 (Appears to be a "no network" error code.)
Home screen shows EV, but 0 bars of service when I normally have 1 or 2 sitting here.
Great feedback report so far .. fix a few of them already .. including the dialer
Thanks again
and I'll like someone with Exchange 2003 to test sync as well..

Hah I was *just* coming here to say I installed dcd verizon and data is now working and I have my two bars of EV service back (go figure).
Oh man, it just gave me the finger and shut off my radio when I set the date to 3/2/2009 LOL....
This concludes the beta test of this software release. Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers.

I don't think it had yet, as it was 3/2/2008. When it tried to sync with Exchange it said the SSL cert was invalid, but that was because the date was wrong on the phone so it thought the cert wasn't valid yet. Once I fixed the clock it hosed me. Restarted the phone and as soon as I enter my password it comes up with the error again and shuts off the radio. I'll upload a picture.

I'm doing a hard reset now to see if it'll happen again.
Hold on here, looks like I had an older carrier cab on my storage card.
dcd_Verizon_Carrier_20080719.cab
...going to try dcd_Verizon_Carrier_20081031.cab now and see if it makes a difference.
Ok the newer cab is helping, but not perfect yet. The expiration thing hasn't happened again thankfully.
ActiveSync started processing everything, but didn't finish. Hmm. It had one calendar item fail (no biggie, it happens), but now looks to be stuck. If I force a sync I now get error code 0x80070057.
The IE button, honeycomb shortcut, and the up/down today screen link all do not work.

Hi,
I already spent hours to find an application which can show me the Cell-Id & Signalstrength on my Tytn.
Tried Celltrack, Nicetrack: both CI not shown.
Fieldtest shows a lot of information and measurements except the Cell-ID..
Commmgrpro shows the Cell ID but nothing more (and is i rather big program).
Is there someone who already succeeded ?
It would be very nice if there could be a Today Plugin which shows the Cell-ID (and eventually the capability to link it to a database) & Signal Strength (dB) on the Todayscreen ?
What I already read in different forums it's a matter of knowing how to reach the RIL.dll file to capture the Cell-ID etc...
Anyone who can help me?
From what i know if your using 3g or UMTS then cell id is not broadcast in the same way it is for 2g. No 3G phones i have seen show cell id.

Senergy, also 3G cells have a Cell ID (I'm a fieldtechnician for a GSM Operator).
Commgrpro also shows the Cell-ID when on 3G.
In the meanwhile I also tried CellProfileSwitcher (http://maniac.fschreiner.de), but also no Cell-ID shown :-(

CommMgrPro shows Cell ID, Location Area Code and Signal strength in GSM and UMTS. If you need more info may i can include it....
I also tried Cellprofiler (www.cell-profiler.de) -> Also not working (COM2 fault message).
This program can show the Cell-Id information on your Today screen (Today Plugin).

Daniel, until now you seem to be the only one who knows how to implement Cell ID (on a HTC Tytn) into a program ;-)
Keep on the great work, I also use the commmgrpro for the moment.
Maybe you can create an option in your program to show Cell Id & Signal Strength (in dB) as a Today Plugin ?
Hi Davw.
Right now I am working on a today plugin for CommMgrPro. It will show those values you re requesting...

This program also is capable to capture the Cell-ID for Location Based use (Profilechange/Alert).
But to see the Cell-ID you have to enter the settings of PhoneAlarm, no CellID displayed anywhere else.
Result: very short life time of this one on my Tytn .........

You're wrong, sorry. There are skins which are abilited to show the group name of cells.
You have to activate it into the "Scroller" advanced settings, and if you have a skin with a text area enablet, it will show infos.
from pAlarm userguide:
Scroller FULL
Use this to configure which items are shown in the Rotator element available on some
skins (if you skin doesn’t include this element then there is no performance effect from this
item!).
Switch every Items will be shown one at a time. Recommended delay 5 seconds.
Scroll Items will scroll one after another across the screen. This has a small
affect on performance as updates need to be performed several
times per second!
search for a skin into their forum.
- For CellProfiler, it works WELL with my Herm200 WM6 LVSW, i'm actually using it because palarm has too many features 4 my needs, however the com2 error is shown, but i've disabled the communication over GSM-Modem, and he learn/detect cellID.
- The only issue (and i'm asking for it) is that when it show a notification (classic WM6/5 notification), there is only the "hide" button, so i press it, and the notification icon remain active on the top bar (showing CP).
- Also i think that the com2 error is because it isn't started.. with taskmngr i've seen that com2 port is NOT started. I don't know how to start it & associate it to RIL... maybe someone is + documented/capable..
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Edit<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
From nicetrack forum:
unfortunately, NiceTrack doesn't work with Hermes/TyTN. i also tried to send AT commands with ComTest, but with no luck. i assume internal modem in Hermes is hidden under >COM9, or it works in some other way than usual. there is a FieldTest.exe application within Hermes' \Windows directory, which shows *a lot* of GSM/BTS data. this means there is some kind of API to get them, other than AT commands... -- Dawid 'evad' Lorenz
I've splitted with the gpspanel the COM6 (shown as RIL on COM 6 with tomtom) to COM2, now the error is: "Failed to GetCommState". Now... someone MORE EXPERT can do an hypotesis?

Skizzo,
Maybe a stupid question, but as I don't find it: Where exactly did you disabled the communication over GSM-Modem ?
into CellProfiler oprions, the first... remember to accept with OK (Top right corner) and not with red X (it closes).
I've also prepared a script (with mortscript) which starts it in auto (don't seems to work wit the options) & minimize / remove com2 error on startup :
Sleep 20000 (wait 20 sec to pick up signal)
Run \Program Files\Cell Profiler\Cell Profiler.exe
Sleep 2500
MouseClick 198,103
Sleep 900
MouseClick 212,64
Sleep 900
MouseClick 103,306
LAC instead of CI
Skizzo,
I disabled the communication over GSM-Modem in the CP program.
But now CellProfiler doesn't show the Cell ID (of my Best Server at that moment) but the LAC (Location Area Code)...
Big difference between those 2 parameters ....
Today will be out the next version of ComMgrPro beta with a today plugin showing CellID and LAC, working in 2G and 3G...

oops hehe you're right, but it works...maybe is less accurate...
I will try ComMgrPro (..i've tried all software with cellID).
@danielherrero: if you need "an hand" with the graphic..
Ps:
- how do you obtain CELL information from RIL?
- by the sim or The GSM Modem?
- which port has it on the hermes? (com2 is closed..)
- do you need an API interpreter to send/receive AT commands?

, thanks, Icons are customizable with themes. It's only the default theme (Yes, My passion is bits and bytes, not art, )
Those questions are for me?
...i hope are 4 you... but don't be too specific, because i don't understand a LOT in this "branch"
1) Using Ril.dll and gettings references to the functions.
2) nop, using ril
3) no ports, only ril
4) no commands, only ril
Tried phonealarm again and gave it up after more then an hour.
Finally saw the Cell ID, but no refresh... (choosed 3 secs in the program).
Also have the intention that PA slows down the PPC a lot...(this while most functions don't interest me).
I'm almost sure that daniel's (coming) today plugin of his commmgr will be a lot more reliable

Hi. V0.9.0.10 out with plugin
Please reset the device after install to activa plugin.
discuss the program here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299070
For a while now I've been running AP4 and like a number of people here, I found that the GPS intermediate driver did not work properly. The GPS ID is, of course, the utility that allows multiple programs to share the GPS device and is controlled by the External GPS utility in Settings. I found that my programs could access the GPS using whatever program port I selected in that utility-- provided the program I was using allowed me to select the port myself, like TomTom or Google maps when set to specify the port. This also affected the GPS Photo function in the Camera app-- you'd get an error saying "Could not initialize GPS." This workaround fixes that as well.
However, in programs that attempt to automatically connect to the GPS using the External GPS applet-- such as GPSToday or Google maps when set to use Windows settings-- the GPS would apparently turn on (the red light starts blinking) but the program would never obtain a fix.
I've finally figured out how to fix it (pun intended).
For those of you that have been around the block a few times, here's the short and simple fix-- extract gpsid_HTC.dll from the AP3 Dual ROM and copy it to \Windows.
For newbies, here's the details of how to do it.
First, download a copy of AP3 Dual and extract it to a folder.
Then, download the Irus Rom Kitchen.
Extract the contents of the kitchen somewhere. You'll end up with a folder called rom tools.
In this folder, run the program called "NBH Extract tool." Click "decompile NBH file," then point it to the RUU_signed.nbh file in the AP3 Dual folder. Tell it where you want to save the extracted files and click OK. This may take a few minutes.
Once you've done that, open a command prompt. and go to the folder where you extracted the ROM kitchen. For example:
cd \
cd c:\rom tools
Then use the imgfsfromnb utility. For example, if you extracted the NBH to c:\ap3, type this:
imgfsfromnb c:\ap3\Windows.nb c:\ap3\imgfs.bin
It will create one more file in c:\ap3.
Then run the final command:
imgfstodump c:\ap3\imgfs.bin
This will dump the contents of the ROM to a subdirectory called "dump" under the folder where the ROM kitchen was extracted. If you extracted the ROM kitchen to c:\rom tools\, then under that is a folder called dump.
This will take several minutes to extract. When it's done, you'll see a whole bunch of folders under dump. The one you're looking for is called gpsid_HTC.dll. In that folder are seven files, but the only one you want is called gpsid_HTC.dll. Copy that file to the storage card on your phone.
Then use your favorite file copy utility on the phone to copy gpsid_HTC.dll from the card to \Windows in main memory. I had no success copying the file from thie PC directly to \Windows on the phone using WMDC, which is why I copied it to the card first. Reboot the phone and it's all set. Google Maps and GPSToday can obtain a fix without specifying a COM port, and GPS Photo works!

Edit - nm, dl'd and uploaded here.
Will this gpsid.dll fix the Google Maps position error? What I mean is that some times, in Google Maps, I hit "My Location" and it registeres like at least 2 or 3 miles from where I'm at. However, the location 'radius' sometimes cover where I'm actullay at.
Not as far as I know-- this only fixes the problem that Google Maps can't get a fix at all unless you manually specify the COM port.

Same here. It does not fix it. In fact, it disabled GPS completely in every single GPS application. They just can't find my GPS anymore. I had to hard reset to recover. I tried in on Mutou's ROM version 1.

I manged without hard reset. I copied that dll using Total commander. Then when I found it is not working I delleted the file from Windows directory, and gues what? The old dll was still there. I just softreseted.
ThanX, with dowload works for me
Hi Folks,
thanx to the hard work in this forum I can solve 99.999 percent on my own.
But I have a rather curious gps behaviour.
Everytime a program connects to gps my GSM orange alert LED starts blinking even my phone is off. Furthermore I have the other problem: satellites yes but no fix nor any reception at all.

I tried a new radio (1.57/1.58), new ROMS (AP4, AP3, Irus, etc), hard/soft-resetted many times but still now chance at all. With this file my last hope was gone.
I don't know what else can I do? Any suggestions, please?
Thanx!
Unfortunately the GPS system in the Athena is very picky. Look through the sub-forums for a popular thread that discusses good settings, for starters. Then realize you will never get a position lock when you are inside. You must be outside, usually in a car is fine. Sometimes it will maintain a lock inside a house but not always. It also can take some time even with the best of conditions.
I got tired of seeing the blinking LEDs, so I disabled them in the registry. I believe all of them do still blink even when the unit is in standby.

Thank you for your idea, my LEDs are disabled too. But in the moment I use GPS the orange LED is blinking.
Tried it the whole night ouside with an external antenna - which worked great with my BT GPS - and I tried it one afternoon at 3000m and a very good 360° sight.
Even the beginner thread (best GPS settings) I read 2 or 3 times as well as the other "gps not working" or "urgent help gps" threads.
The thing is, I don't get signal anywhere. Satellites yes, but no signal? There has to be a way, broken antenna would not see any sat so it has to be software relevated.
With ceMonitor the gps was responding $GPSA etc. but no fix, only satellites. So GPS is there, is reporting satellites nearby and other devices find at last some sats, perhaps not a fix?
TouchPro INDOOR after less than a minute.
For sure I tried QuickGPS and without of course.
Any other suggestions? Radio ROM brick?
I had this sat available and no fix mystery long time ago.
Tried many different rom, none really solve it. Worst with ship rom.
What I discovered lately, I wouldn't dare to say sure work, perhaps give it a try.
Set the hardware com5 baud rate to 115200. Config the gps software baud rate at
different selection. You need patience to monitor and find which setting is best.
Well, I was taught long ago on data comm, it must match but not with Athena.
I strongly believe the gps hardware in our Athena is somehow screw up big time at HTC.
Thanx pdajoy,
I used the last two hours trying your trick, but unfortunately without any results. Not a single peak movement....
I went up at around 2100 meters to have around 220° of sight, again, Diamond (QuickQPS data already expired) found in less than 1 Minute his fix and Athena (QGPS actual for 2 days) showed not one single reaction except to the satellite numbers. I compared them to my Diamond and it was 50:50. eg 27, 17, 9 etc. were same on both but others were different.
My present life of suffering was in ROMs:
AP3 -> AthenaUnlocker v3 (crashed, but restored after reflash) -> AP3 -> R 1.58 -> EnableRapi.cab -> AP4 -> Irus Vanilla 3.5 -> MichyPrima 5.1 -> Irus Full 3.5 -> AP4 -> AP3newslp -> SPL1.2Olipro -> AP3 -> HTC Stock German(latest from Website) -> R 1.57 -> R 1.58 -> T-Mobile Stock German (2.35.111.3) -> HTC Stock -> AP4 -> R 1.58
and in programs:
ceManager
NoniGPSPlot
TomTom7
VisualGPSce
GPSTester
Meanwhile I started counting hardresets but forgot to continue somewhere at 43. I love WM 6.1 ROMs much more now, no nasty softreset after software installation...
First I tried it by radio changements, followed by better software (NMEA reset...), different ROMs and tons of equal problems at google and several pages here. Isn't there any special radio I could flash, some mtty hex changing or any registry key?
Thanx!
NODeeJay, sorry to know it didn't work out.
On my crazzy Athena, fix established only with at least 4 solid satellite numbers.
If you are getting almost similar like the Diamond, my bet is the gps in Athena is fine.
I'm using GPSProxy 2.2, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsproxy/ fix time varies with
different baud rate setting but definitely get fixed, with any cooked rom here.
You may need to re-try and confirm the gps status without any other
program installed. Just the gps software.

I remembered the Athena's GPS was not the best and fastest, but even in the old part of Pragues with very small roads I got a fix. At last I got one satellite with more than 0 singal.

OK, to understand you right without any other software:
HR -> AutoInstall -> EnableRapi.cab -> AP4 -> HR -> SR instead of AutoInstall -> .NET CF 3.5 -> SR -> GPSProxy -> GPSProxy options (Com Port, Garmin etc.) -> Start?
So my progress:
have done it like the above mentioned way, after GPSProxy install I set the VirtualComPorts to COM8 and COM9 then I mirror COM5 to COM8
then I press Start and wait.
After more than half an hour I have still:
I had a look at the Log:
Informations but no coordinates...
I should play with the baud rate on both sides now? hardwareport - baudrate - GPS Proxy - baudrate - softwareport
Another question: GPSProxy is nothing else than the build in "port proxy" aka "external GPS"?
Thanx in advantage pdajoy, really, I appreciate your help very much!
i have exact the same problem on my athena!search all posts here,never solve this
my only way is to use bt antenna.
Here is my setting for my Athena and GPSProxy.
Athena
- Program port: com8
- hardware port: com5,115200
GPSProxy
- GPS com port: com5, 9600 (set other value to try)
- Output com port: com8, 9600 (must follow com5 value)
Note: Do not tick Mirror GPS Input to Output Port
Back to Main menu - select Virtual COM Ports
tap once to Add, Virtual com port,
it automatically assign Com1, then exit.
If you use Garmin Que, then proceed to set virtual com port baud rate.
Select Garmin Protocol Output, Configure,
Port Type: Com Port
Com Port: Com1: (GPSProxy Virtual Com...)
Baud rate: 9600 (follow com5 value)
If not, just hit Start, first time run, fix will takes a little longer.
GPSProxy is nothing else than the build in "port proxy" aka "external GPS"?
Yes, it is, I use it simply because Garmin Que can't works with the Athena external GPS.
After browsing around Verizon's website today, I noticed something. I went in to change my plan (needed more minutes) and noticed there was an option to add VZNav to your plan on that same screen at the bottom. If you're one of the many that want VZnav on your phone even if it means paying the $10 a month for it, you're in luck.... FOLLOW THESE STEPS IF YOU'VE GOTTEN VZNAV INSTALLED AND IT ASKS FOR ACTIVATION BY CALLING *611 on previous attempts.
The following steps worked for me:
1. Log into VZW's website and go to change your plan. When you're at that screen, you'll notice you can add VZnav capabilities to your phone. Select it and make the changes. The following confirmation screen will give you a rundown of your current plan and features.
2. Download the update from UTstarcom's web page http://handsets.utstar.com/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=XV6800&bID=89&sAct=0.
3. Flash your phone using the instructions within the zip you just downloaded.
4. Once your phone is successfully flashed and the customizations run, reprogram your phone by dialing *228... then reboot your phone.
5. Once your phone is rebooted, download the VZnav software from your phone's internet explorer home page under the VZ Navigator link and install it.
6. Provided the installation goes smoothly.. reboot once more.
7. Start the VZnav program and follow all of the instructions where you'll have to set up the defaults for the vznav software.
8. Moment of truth! Once you get to the VZnav home screen go to "maps & traffic" and tap on "where am i?" If the installation/activation was successful, your GPS location will be found within 5-10 seconds.
Congratulations, you just did what several of VZW techs could not do, which was add VZnav on to your plan and get it working. Every feature I've tried with the software works great. The 4 or 5 functions I tried had locks within 5 seconds. I haven't done too much experimenting because I did all of this... at work, on my work pc. (I love my job)
VZNAV WILL NOT WORK (without serious modding if even at all) IF YOU HAVE NOT USED THE OFFICIAL VZW UPDATE. WEIGH YOUR OPTIONS BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH WITH THIS BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE TOMTOM/OTHER PROGRAMS WITHOUT A FIGHT AFTER THIS FLASHING.

You won't be able to use them at all with the internal GPSOne chipset in the XV6800 after flashing......
Yes, you can. You just have to go through a hellish process in flashing backwards to get the original PRI... The two events are mutually exclusive. You have to choose VZW update w/ VZnav capabilities, or a kitchen w/ other programs.
Thats what my point was, it is either / or......
Not sure how people are having difficulties getting VZ Nav. After correcting my PRI issuue with a DMU reset. Everything was fine. I just installed VZ Nav and had VZ NAV Provisioned on my Account and it worked perfectly. It is much nicer on the 6800 with the screen and 4.1 versus my old Razor.
Any idea's as to why my GPS is performing this crap here:
I have Verizon wireless vz navigator 4.1.0. It loads up fine but it keeps saying "loading privacy policy..." with the loading icon spinning.
It takes about 30 seconds to a minute(of what seems like its trying to connect to the web for something), and then I get this message: "unable to get privacy setting."
And then it exits out to a big message box that says "There was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart VZ Navigator."
Now I have the HTC XV6800 from UTstarcom with the latest ROM update from them so that I have Rev A and Windows Mobile 6.1 etc... That I flashed. Basically the Rom file released on August 26 2008.
I tried to do *228 and press 1. Then I did a soft reset. I also did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421008
to try and activate the GPS. That works, but VZ navigator does not. (That was the whole DRM mode ##3424 and the whole QPST and driver/comm installation and the GPS viewer tool)
I have applied to and purchased the monthly VZ navigator service feature and package. Now, I dont have a data service and I blocked any data going though my phone because IE would start up on its own and rack up charges. So I dont have mobile web. But apparently on the website it is included as a feature for my phone when before it wasn't.
But I do have Wifi enabled and its connected to my wireless network at home and at work. It seems to be connecting to the server and internet. But it just cant seem to work with my phone either way, even though it seems that there is no support. Thankfully though atleast I dont get the LBS error or anything like that.
But any idea's or help or troubleshooting tips and suggestions you can offer to have me get this thing working?

This may have been addressed... but do you have location settings to Location on instead of 911 only? By default.. the new rom has it as 911 only.
Yep its on.
Works great!
I was looking for something better than google maps to use and I'm quite impressed with this app. I did some test routes this morning and it works awesome. I think its worth the 10 bucks a month for use.
Screen shots anyone?
Can anyone post screen shots of this app in use?
Is it really that much better than Garmin Mobile XT? I have that working beautifully with 2009 maps.
Here are some screen captures. Not sure if it is better then Garmin but it never let me down with my Razor or my Wife U-740. I don't have to keep memory cards and since I added this my bill dropped by $20 when switching to the Premium Plan that we had previous.
As for his not working it may be because of no data connection. It will launch your data connection which needs to do the privacy policy. I tried doing it with WIFI while they attempt to fix my lost connection and it didnt work. My guess is that is your issue no data connection for it to launch and then use.
The GPS detection issue is easy fixed by making sure location is ON and not just 911. I also tried setting up the program without a data session active, no luck, without a VZW data session in progress, the privacy policy will not load. If you enable location AND enable data at least for a few minutes, you'll be good to go. I'll post screenshots here in a few as soon as I get a program that'll do it.
Here are those screenshots of VZnav in action! I would have posted some live GPS locks but my office is damn close to being a bunker. There's no way any gps is going to get a lock where I work lol

I have it enabled. ButI use a wifi connection. Apparently the website wont let me disable the datablock without paying $45, I am not going to do that for just a few minutes.
My wifi connects fine to the web, it should be able to get what it needs there.

I think you are running into the same issue MMS has. MMS requires Verizon data... as apposed to your WIFI / Ethernet home internet. At least from my experience.
Is there a fix for that?

That sounds a little sketchy. You should be able to use the pay per MB feature just like anyone else with a VZW phone. I have a family member on my account, he doesn't have data, but can still access VZW web for $1.99/MB. I've heard VZnav uses satellites AND towers to help determine your location, this may be difficult if you aren't accessing their towers (instead of using VZW data you are using home WIFI). If anyone can revise/add to this theory, please do. Also if you look at my screenshots, a data plan is pretty much required to use 50% of the functions within the program. Weather, looking up places such as movie theaters and even software updates.

That sir, seems to be the question of this thread.
This is ridiculous. I enabled the web and now I get error code 11 ppp connection message.
Why cant they just do things simple?
Hello All,\
I've made a little program called WifiLocations. It does a lot more then you might think, currently:
Current Version : V0.6
- Specify locations (based on GSM/UMTS Cell-ID) where WiFi will be activated automatically (and turned off when you leave)
- Specify locations where Bluetooth will be activated automatically (and turned off when you leave) or the otherway around (for headset/carkit usage).
- Specify locations where your ringer should be turned off or to vibrate (and back to previous state when you leave)
- Run a user-specified program when in specified location (and the choice of killing it when you leave).
- Name the Cell's so it's a little less confusing.
- Autostart on reboot-option
You don't need GPS for this!
CDMA cells are not supported, if you have info on how to read the ID's contact me.
If you think something doesn't work right, please let me know in this thread!
If you want to request a feature, please ask here!
I produced this because I use my incoming voip number a lot when I'm on wifi and I didn't want to activate wifi everytime I walk into a wifi-location (hence the name!). You can add your current location or walk around for 60seconds in your house to add all used GSM/UMTS-cellsites. (You have to add them both if your in a low 3g-signal area)
Well if you like it, let me know or even donate I've always wanted to go to st. Petersburg and trying to pay for a ticket by developing free software
Click on it to see the real status, this is just an image! Thanks!
Not for commercial use...
Free to distribute as long as it includes a link to my donation page along with the download link and a link to these forum pages.

-Killing the app by pressing 'X' doesn't remove the trayicon
great tool thank you very much
Let me know if it works for you and what you what doesn't especially since I don't have a change myself to test is on other that gms/umts networks....
VERY NICE!!!
Just tried it, one thing, in the "walk around for 60 seconds" I did this, and it found another cell site, but it never added it.
Also, will it turn off the WIFI when out of range of the cell sites?
I will take a look at the 'non-adding-after-60-s' error tonight. And it should disable wifi when you're outside the reach of the gsm/umts-cell.
Actually it DID add it after I closed it down and re-started it, it now shows the other cell site.
thanks now I know what to fix when I get home! because the cell grabbing happens in another thread it can not directly change items on the gui thread! will fix this asap
Looks like a great utility.
Question : All it does is switch on the wifi? One still has to go through the login (for security enabled wifi) or other access means as defined at the particular hotspot ??
Btw, here is the site of a PC program that behaves more or less similarly. Perhaps useful for ideas ???
http://wifihopper.com/
Thanks
I think you're not getting the point of my application, it uses your Cell-position to activate your wifi. So you save battery and your voip protocol can be activated whenever you get to your home(or other)-cell... The wifi-profiles can be created through any wireless profile manager!

This should be solved now...
Nice app...I have a request that although probably not used by alot of folks it seems like a simple enhancement in "concept"....can you add the option to enable/disable BLUETOOTH instead of wifi based on location? I tether my phone to my house alot and use it as the internet feed...it would be nice if when I got to the home location it auto linked up with the pc and gave it internet without me having to think about it..the process seems the same. Am I off base?
Hmm upon further study it's not that simple...I'd also need to still run the internet sharing app...so perhaps not so simple.
@famewolf, I'll take a look at it. Never worked with bluetooth before, but I don't think it's much work.
I just created the application for personal use, because I tend to use voip a lot. I posted it here so so everybody could use it if they want to.
About the feature you request, you want bluetooth to be activated or does it need more functionality?
Well after thinking on it more it would take more than just activating bluetooth...would also need to be able to run a program when bluetooth was enabled so I'll just be thankful for what you provided. Your program will come in very handy when visiting my relatives...the cell reception in their house is crappy and I always end up enabling wifi and logging onto their router when in house to get email etc....will use your program to auto enable it.
Of use to people who "dabble" in voip....you can use fring and grandcentral to get a "free incoming" phone # that uses voip...and the new idialer allows grandcentral out calls as well....this would potentially works well with these apps...hmmm perhaps you SHOULD consider allowing the user to execute an app when wifi comes up or down so they can run whatever sip client they are using?
@famewolf, I think what you mention can be very interesting. I know that starting another app isn't a big problem. Working on the hiding of the form and autostarting now. Will add the functionality to start an app lateron.
Download new version, now includes working start-at-boot-mode and auto hiding the form. I want to change the complete set-up because it wasn't designed properly.... some other time.
I downloaded the current version; on my Sprint Touch Pro, it doesn't seem to see cell ids although it does seem able to turn on/off the wifi successfully.
good program. looks like the makings to the 'locale' program for android. If you added some volume profiles that would automatically switch you would be set. It would be nice to have my phone mute itself when i got to work and turn the volume back on when i left for home.
This program ist simply brilliant. If have been looking for something like this for a long time and programs like this one are the reason, I never got an Iphone.
One question though: your program seems to keep the Wifi connection alive all the time. Is it possible to add an option to have it running in powersave mode (i. e. power down in suspend mode)?
EDIT: Sorry to bother you. The behavior of the wifi energy save features has nothing to with your neat program. For some reason my wifi was hanging. It seems, I still have to get accustomed to my Touch HD (or the firmware bugs).
@twcook, I think that's because you're not on a gsm/umts network, I really don't have a clue how to solve that yet. I'll put it on the todolist. If anyone has information on how to get other that gsm/umts-cells let me know.
@nmeister, good one, put that on the todolist as well. But I won't be working on it a lot this weekend, got other plans.
tnx man, the program is perfectly working on tytn ii, its amazing. never need to touch comm manager for wifi...
So we can stop seeing these over and over and over again.
Common issues:
1. If it goes to sleep, it may not wake up. Force reboot by holding down the power button and center button on the front of the screen for 15 seconds.
2. Wifi may not connect. Try disabling and re-enabling wifi. That may not work still, try rebooting. That may still not work.. come back later, it may work then. Seriously, I rebooted 20 times with no luck, cycling and cycling, no luck still, set it down to charge for a few minutes, came back, walla, all was good. Now, I was at least able to connect for a bit... and then LATER it stopped working.. if you were NEVER able to connect, that may be a different story. Worst case, do a wipe data/factory reset in CWM, that should fix it.
Another bit that may help:
Go to wifi settings. Click your router and forget. Turn wifi off then back on again. Then connect back to your router with your password

Also, go to Settings | Wireless & Networks | Wi-Fi Settings .. click the Menu button, then click Advanced. Turn your Wifi Sleep Policy to Never, so that it stays on when your screen goes off, that should help, though it may drain your battery. But, its an alpha, so oh well.
5. Google apps are missing. Install gapps. You obviously didn't read ANY thread about it, so go back to it and do it again. Or be lazy and get it here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Flash that zip in CWM.
4. Market has apps missing. There is a fix now.
http://code.google.com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/detail?id=65
On that page, it links you to the fix.. here it is
http://www.multiupload.com/5MKAKAKUM6
(If I'm not supposed to link directly to that, let me know, I'll remove it).
Just flash this fix in CWM. If you don't know how to do that, don't use this alpha, but also.... mash in one of the download links into your browser in android, download it. Now it probably put it into your 'download' directory on your "sd card". Reboot into "Recovery" or choose Recovery in the boot loader. Go to Install Zip from SD Card.. and choose zip from sd card.. then navigate to your 'download' directory, select it, and walla, market is now fixed.
5. I want Swype. I don't know how to search. How do I get Swype without searching?

joshts0 - Big thanks man. I was just thinking about starting a thread just like this one! I was reading through the "CM7 on the Touchpad" thread and almost shot myself! It's ridiculous how many people have asked the same question about wifi, how to reboot, etc, when the answer was 2 pages previous! Frustrating!
So far I have had the most problems with WiFi, i am unable to connect to my WAP encrypted home network however I am able to connect to my unsecured Phone hotspot. Is this port only able to connect to unsecured networks?
I've been able to connect to my WPA2-PSK-AES access point so it might be something else.

It is definitely able to connect to encrypted networks... but there are less (no?) problems with unsecured networks. Try some of the ideas listed here and see what happens, and most importantly don't give up. I **** you not, mine just magically started working despite doing the same thing over and over again.

You might want to add that for problem #1, you can avoid it by never press the power button to turn off the display. Instead, you should let it time out by itself.

Supposedly, setting the minimum cpu frequency to 384 instead of 192 will prevent sleep from sticking.
For Facebook force-closes, install Fake GPS from the market and set a location. Facebook is crashing because it's trying to use the GPS to locate you.
Set wifi sleep policy under advanced wifi (press menu under wifi settings) to minimize wifi issues. Battery life is affected, power draw will be about 1.25% per hour with screen off
The other CM7 thread disappeared. I recalled reading a fix for the missing songs, may I know what is the fix again ?
this thread isn't stickied? the OP is extremely helpful
Seems like some apps (Adfree, ES File Explorer etc), even with root privileges, cant mount the system as rw. Is there a fix for this?
I also tried Terminal Emulator but it says that the mount the command missing
Ooh that's why adfree crashed... I'll update the first post with any of these tricks in a few.. I've been testing some myself to see if they work for me . Been letting it sleep on its own without pressing the power button and so far haven't had one problem... But I didn't have it very much in the first place. My girlfriend said hers kept not waking up though so i'm having her experiment with it. She is just happy to have Swype.

Install busybox and instead of typing "mount" type "busybox mount".

I think it was... Create a new directory a name it anything but the name that it was in... But this is off the top of my head so it could be wrong. test it and let me know, then I'll include it in the first post.
