[APP][FR][13/09/11] InfoTrafic Trains - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Hello,
This is my very first application (as a .net newbie), so I kept it quite simple (yet useful).
This application uses the traffic informations provided by SNCF, through your network connection and presents the results in a finger-friendly manner.
Please report any bug (like cancelled trains and other features I may have missed).
This has been tested on QVGA, VGA and WVGA, but it should work on any resolution, landscape and portrait.
Thanks to michyprima for the ManilaSDK
PS: This requires that .NetCF 3.5 is installed on your device.
PPS: This is only in french (as I didn't start working on internationalization)
History:
- v1.6: 20 new trainstations added and service has been restored
- v1.5: User agent changed to work on SFR network
- v1.4: Complete rewrite, with over 160 train stations and 340 Transiliens hard coded, favorites stations, new glossy interface, options, lots of bugfixes
- v1.1: Added trains on arrival, haptic feedback, follow-up with notifications and fixed some bugs.
- v1.0: First release, simplistic version

thanks a lot for sharing dude
I will add this soft to our french website

Thanks, I'm not a member of Actualité Mobile but i'll keep an eye on the thread

I will prorably never use it, but honestly, it's been so long since a useful application (it mean not manila or IT centric) has been relased, I could only congratulate you for your work (and in French en plus).

New version ! Soon to be released on marketplace

Bonjour,
Depuis quelques temps, Erreur serveur sur les gares grandes lignes parisiennes, pas de problemes pour les gares transilien.

Connection issue has been fixed using another webservice. I have also updated quite a lot of things compared to the version that was on XDA.

Hello!
Thanks for your amazing app!
Just one question: I can't find my train station in this program... its name is "Les Laumes - Alésia" and i can find it on the sncf website...How can i have it in your app?
Thanks!

SNCF does not provide real-time traffic for all the stations on the webservice I used. When I find a better service, I will update the list
For Transiliens stations, I may have missed a few since I listed them manually...

I am using it and it is great.
On Actualité Mobile forum, a guy posts some interesting features you can implement...

After a long break I found some time and fixed the service, everything works again.
Updated first post with new version.

Athena Project 4.0 coming, but needs...

Hello all,
Everyone, including myself, is eagerly anticipating the release of ROM 4.0 for the Athena Project. I'm confident that everyone agrees that the project was an extreme success.
That said, we're recruiting for 4 new team members. We're calling 2 of the new additions "Spotters". We also need an expert designer who will be dedicated to graphics for the project and also an expert audio person dedicated to ring tones, special sounds, etc for the project.
While two of the titles and requirements for the new "positions" are obvious and require no explanation...I feel that the position of "Spotter" requires a bit of explanation to ensure we get the right fit.
What is a Spotter? According to the project's need, this is someone who knows the forum well, is resourceful, has time on their hands, is dedicated to the cause and has a good eye for useful utilities and programs to add to the ROM project.
Utilities should be freeware, lite on resources, enhance the device's functionality either by replacing existing apps/utilities or just provide a new way of doing "something".
Good examples are utilities that fit the description above are: WKTask, QuickMenu, TotalCommander, FTouchFlo and config, HTC Album, Flashlight, and so on.
Feel free to post your questions here.
Please note that not all submissions of art/audio/apps recommendations will be included. Remember, as always, no commercial apps/utils.
If you're interested in any of the positions mentioned above, please PM me and boinger66.
Core team members for Athena Project 4.0 goals:
ltxda: Team leader and tester.
boinger66: Expert tester, support and then some.
PK: Head cook.
Cmonex: Cook/Cracker/ExpertSupport.
Midget: Cook and core provider.
Olipro: Unlocker and ExpertSupport.

Secondary Splash screen: If a person uses safe mode, there will be typically a bottom line which bumps the splash screen upward and distort it. So when designing the graphics, do not use the upper and lower portion of the secondary splash screen for any text. Instead, make it quite empty so that the bump would not distort it visually.

They can't be activated after this period! The full version is another download.

Advantge X7510's ROM? Coming out just around the corner in March. May be not. The hardware is different.
But get the Opera 9.5 from the X7510 please.
I have used TouchFLo in the past, but have completely given it up for one reason: it destroyed the audio feedback or the touch screen sound effect. Fo me, sound is too important to be sacrificed.
I hope the touchflo in X7501 keeps the sound. If it does, we should get it from there.

Geez. My dyslexia kicked in, didn't notice that it wasn't 7501. This will finally fuel my lust for a new device. I've been happy for 9 months, which is actually 30 years in technology-years. But it doesn't look that much enhanced. I'm surprised.
yes 4.0 will be 6.1 eather build 19174 or 19188. these are the latest aku 1.0 builds(microsoft is playing games with build numbers, u have to have good microsoft sources to know whats new and old ) wont say anything about rest though.

Hey DotNetCoder,
It seems to be one v useful app as I fly a lot. I will def give it a try. Any chance to get Luton and London City on the supported airports list?
Nice, thanks DotNetCoder....
....What are your plans for epanding the app to include other UK or indeed worldwide airports? I mainly fly to Cork, my point here is that the app is only useful on one leg of my journey.
Thanks what a useful little app All working fine @ time of testing hoping not to find any bugs
what about the second busiest airport in the UK? Manchester......
US Flights and HD2
Just installed it and tried it briefly, lovely app.
I couldn't seem to find any US flights on it (or is it just me being blind)
Also, I've installed it on the HD2, but can't get the application back after awakening the phone. I have to end task in task manager and re-start it.
Any clues?
really nice app indeed. It would be perfect if it can include some other airport too. Thanks anyway
Great wee app, especially as i have some flying to do in the next little while. Two thoughts, can you give it a pretty icon, i just get the standard white exe icon.
Also another request for additional airports, the two Belfast ones would be really useful for me.
Thanks for the feedback guys and gals.
I originally only intended this for UK BAA airports, as they use the same code.. but after looking at some of the other suggested airports - they shouldn't be too hard to add.
There's lots of places, so I will focus on UK and Ireland international airports, then move onto the US, and then back to Europe.
This project could be quite lengthy - if any other VB.NET coders are reading this and want to help me write HTML parsers that would be v cool. Get in touch via PM if you can (of does anyone know of RSS feeds for this data?).
Before I release any more airports, I'll fix the update code - at the moment it locks out the GUI when refreshing, this will move into the background.
A globe icon has been added, so no nasty white spaces in the next version!

great!! Nice to hear that..looking forward for the next release
Also a provision to select a default airport would be helpful.
Now when I start the app - it always goes to Stansted first and then I have to select Heathrow from the menu.
Overall a really great app! Very helpfull I must say...a must have if you travel
And also if possible a search/filter option - by airline, by flightnumber and by arrival location!

I sorted the problem by installing Duttys Task Manager....Works great now.
I can't see any flights to and from the US, only europe. Are US flights on a different Database?
New update out - your features have been noted, not done much work this week
cool app, found on the open market place, tho only version 1.0, will update to 1.1 later
gatwick and stansted all good,
another vote for london city tho
WOW - great app... adding more airports ?
Is it possible to add London Luton and City airport ?
Also, if possible to add the Terminal information taht would be FANTASTIC !!
Keep on the good work ..
Ravel
Development is temporarily on hold.
I'll be back soon though.
gr8 application congrats m8!!!!!!
could u add John Lennon Airport Liverpool?
thanx a lot again and...walk on...
That'll be on the list. Cheers
Lots of work done on this, but not usable.
I coded in support for FlightStats.com, but it has a bizarre forced redirect to their mobile site, which doesn't have the info I'm looking for.
Background downloading is also in-place (no longer locks up the app during a download) - and you can cancel the download or quit.
Next airports I'm adding support for are Aena (Spanish), as I'm going on holiday there soon

[APP] Who's Near Me (Mobile Geo-Proximity Social Networking)

Hello everyone,
We have released a free new Windows Mobile application called Who's Near Me. In a nutshell, this application uses GPS (or cell tower info if no GPS) to determine your location and then displays other users that are nearby you - along with their photo, age, gender, and bio. You can then start an anonymous message conversation with anyone on the list. It uses your data connection only so you are never charged for any text messages.
The application is still considered beta but has already been in closed testing for a few weeks. Most major issues should be resolved at this point. We plan to add it to the Microsoft Marketplace for Mobile as a free application in the next few weeks - at which point we expect the number of active users to increase substantially. A Windows Phone version (with additional functionality) will also be available at the launch of the WP7 platform.
The application is free (100% free, no advertisements even), small, and pretty cool. You can download the latest version of the application from our website as a cab file directly to your phone at http://www.synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx. The download link is pretty clearly located to the right of the page title. I have also uploaded the current release's cab file to this post. This current release is focused for touch devices and no testing has been done with non-touch phones. Windows Mobile 5.x and 6.x are both supported. The Microsoft .Net Compact Framework 2.0 is required on the device.
Since the application is in beta, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. You can either use the feedback form in the application or post your feedback to this forum post.
Thanks,
Brian P. Hamachek
President & CEO
SynergeTech Solutions
Cool app. If you all can get everyone to adapt and use this program, it could become it's own personal social network giant. Kind of like speed meeting
Who's near me?
Well - I still don't know. Heard about the app from 1800pocketpc. But so far, can't get it going. Downloaded from the dev's website. It says it was installed correctly. Then when I open it it says, "Connecting to service..." and it just goes around and around without ever connecting.
I wonder if it is because I live in a rural area (Boron Ca 93516) without very good cel coverage? Bc I thought I read it works to position you through cel towers.
I have no idea. Wanted to test it. But no luck so far.
Crash after view SynergeTech user profile. Fail to connect to server then.
Using HTC HD2.
started good,chatted a little bit.also notified by answers.
then after a while, I tried to answer again and app crashed. restart didn't work "profile error"
After soft reset my hd2 was very slow.no background process to see.restart still failed.
reinstall takes no effect.sometimes it crashes to answer, afterwards profile error.
but the app is young and a great idea.
please add options to switch off/on gps localization and use cell manually.
the footprint/cpu usage is quite high and noticeable on hd 2...
sended also report by app, but crashes afterwards...
keep up good work! thanx
Mine also just stops and get stuck on the Connecting to service... on my touch pro 2.. great concept though.. Cant wait to get a working version.
Same thing here. Gets stuck at the connecting screen. ...On TP
Will be waitin for the app to start working...
Thanks for all of the feedback. As I stated, this application is still a beta release. We have just published a major update though and the issues some of you were having should be resolved at this point. The application is picking up popularity in Europe so it is definitely worth taking a look at if you live there. Here are the changes that this update include:
Substantially redesigned the user interface (see attached screenshots)
Added a settings screen - including filters for narrowing down the nearby people list
Added support for showing distances in either Kilometers or Miles
Added ability to "delete" messages in order to reduce clutter
Fixed local timezone bug on messages list.
Added terms and conditions consent screen.
Fixed geo-locating issues for some locations.
Added auto-update (with a confirmation prompt) feature.
Fixed issue that caused profile to revert to showing age 13
Many, many, many performance/bandwith enhancements
Many, many, many minor cosmetic and usability improvements
Overall, the application is much more usable now. We hope to get it into the Marketplace for Mobile as soon as possible - which is when it should really get intresting.
You can learn more here: synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx
I have attached the latest cab file for the application to this post.
Thanks!
Latest beta still is not working on my Sprint Tp2. I hit agree to terms and conditions page and gets stuck there now. Would like to give this a try..
Check and see if there is a file called "WhosNearMeLog.txt" in your My Documents (or Personal) folder on the device. If an error is occuring during connecting, it should be logged there. Please send me that file and I will diagnose the issue for you and either fix it in our software or let you know how to resolve it on your end. Thanks.
at first: it's an app, which it free and a beta - soo I appreciate your efforts and don't mind in any way if something doesn't work.
just want to say thank you!
now the result if new cab:
it can't connect to service.
I installed it to internal storage and switched on wifi.
but no way to start it.
I saw... you rely on wwe ... and I have german rom. so I didn't found it in startmenü (= start menu) and had yoi start it in /storage card/programme (not programs or program files)
perhaps the .cab lacks the international parameters like %ce1% or %ce11% ?
or inside app is a wwe-path hardcoded?

I will look into this. The application is currently being used primarily by users located in Germany (due to a popular German website writing about it) and I haven't heard of this problem yet so not sure why it isn't showing in your start menu.

Someone else reported that the application would not run when installed on a storage card. They reinstalled in the device's main memory and it worked for them though. The application isn't excessively large (around 1MB) so hopefully this will be a suitable workaround for you. This will be addressed in hopefully the next release though.

Obviouslly, this application's value really won't show until a fairly substantial userbase has been established. I am actually fairly encouraged by the number of users that the application has established already though. I was expecting hopefully 50 users would help beta test the application. In reality, the application has had well over 1,500 users try it in just the last 48 hours. Our goal is to add the application to the Microsoft Marketplace for Mobile as a free download once the bugs have been eliminated - hopefully sometime in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully, that exposure will be enough to get the number of users high enough to make the application intresting. Microsoft has also expressed intrest in helping promote the application.
I created a story on Digg about the application. Feel free to Digg it at http://digg.com/d31Qx8J. If it gets enough Diggs, that would really help to get the word out there about it as well.
Thanks!

I have tried installing to sd and main memory with no luck. I get past the connecting to service page, but after i hit agree on the terms and conditions page it just gets stuck there. I dont have "WhosNearMeLog.txt" anywhere on the device.
Thanks again for your ongoing support.
Does your culture's number formatting conventions use a comma before the decimals? For example: 1,20 rather than 1.20
Well, that is what beta tests are for, right?
Jdignazio, please let me know if this updated version works for you.
Version 0.4 BETA (Released on 5/13/2010)
- Fixed issue that prevented connection from devices set to a locale that uses a comma before decimal digits (Example: 4,77 rather than 4.77)
- Redesigned profile picture selection screen and also added functionality to use phone's camera to take a new photo for usage as the profile photo
- Fixed issue where deleted message conversations would return upon the next launch of the application​
http://www.synergetechsolutions.com/whos-near-me.aspx
Still no go on a HTC TP2 on Sprint. Retried installing the new version in main memory.
Some suggestions:
Please add a version number to the name of the file.
Please add autocheck.autoupdate feature in the program once it is run.
thanks and keep up the good work.

This sounds interesting. I will give it a try and report back.
sounds really interesting.
I've tried it on my i900. Here are the results
- connexion to internet for add and banner (ok, it doesn't disturb me). May be you should inform the users about that.
- I was blocked at the first screen, with the texte to donate. The continue button was grayed. I've waited for several minutes, clicked on the black screen... which will not disapear. Finaly I click on the link at the bottom of the banner (at the end the page of free-ocr.net) and then the continue button comes black and I can go on. So maybe you have to inform users what they have to do to be able to continue (wait or click,...).
- taking picture works well. Loading picture works as well. As I've found, the taken picture was saved on the software install directory, named img.jpg. And if I want to use another option I have to rechoose the jpg one... but if I will not have my PC connected I will not have found the place of the picture. May be you can inform, on the warning/info popup message that, if a img.jpg file exists, that this can be used, or where the picture can be found.
- question : does the img.jpg file be deleted ?
- with french texts on picture, the OCR gives nothing as hieroglyphs.
Else, a really great application which ask to be magnified !
keep up this good job
what is alternative that don't require data connection?
this one mention here need data connection.
thx you.

Should we trust this program?
And send scanned our private documents as exercise material for Mossad academy in Hertzlyia Pituach?
I was there (lived in Hertzlyia Pituach almost a year in 1987-1988)
However, due to nowadays international situation, I personally should not trust this program.
Why sending SOMEWHERE my private documents??
Want to make money of your program, make it save locally (on device!).
With regards,

How am I supposed to install a cab file on android?
my thoughts
- should warn that it loads a website, the processing is not done on the device
- should warn that the images are transferred elsewhere and not only stored on the device
additionally I use a HD2 running duttys (v smooth and fast) yet with this running performance dropped sharply and noticeably
love the concept but not the implementation
Does it support other language?
Is it a multilingual program? I mean, does it support Asian language like Chinese?
It is not working on my blackstone (Rom com3 23152 as per my signature).
Maybe helpful
Sometimes the lower banner in the splash screen shows an server error.
Furthermore clicking on the Capture button it's raised an exception:
TExtRact.exe
NullReferenceException
in TExtRact.Main.captureBtn_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

[Q] Introducing myself and questions for tab 10.1

Hi there,
First i want to introduce myself to this forum.
Am a french canadian so please forgive me my bad writting skills if i make mistakes (and i will), am 32, never had a tab or smartphone before.
Also i never liked the "apple" way of thinking wich mean to me, join our world and stick in it.
Am a pc user and i wanted to get a good androïd tab, I made lots of research before stopping my decision on the Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I own it for a week now and i found it run smoothly, came pretty complete and is easy of use.
Like stated on other topics, i sometime get some lag but i use the "active app task manager" widget that come with the tab to clear some memory and it fix the problem.
As i stated in my profile, am a real estate broker and i bought that tab mostly for my job. (surfing the web, looking at houses pictures, city evaluation, pdf's)
Of course I'll use it on the side for listening to music, watching movies, surfing the net, play games etc...
Now before going any further, here is my specs :
Tab: Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-PR7500R 16gb
Firmware : Honeycomb 3.1
Operator : Rogers
Plan : 4G data only, 500mb/months
Since i got my tab, i kept looking over and over to find some nice apps, tips, and other interesting stuff.
I found that, except if you what you're looking for, its kinda hard to find good stuff.
Am new in the androïd/Tab world so i don't really know what I'm looking for, I dont want to change the firmware (wich i saw is a very popular thing to do)
I just want some advices about the best apps/hint/tips/tricks that i should get (either if i need to pay or not)
Now I know some of you will say ; well we dont know ur interests etc...
I just want to know what stuff I shouldnt pass by, or what i really need to know about the usage of my tab
For thoses that will read all this and anwser me ; THANK YOU !
for the others, well f** j/k of course

You're not alone. I was a PC man even before anyone knew who Bill Gates was, and still am, but also have recently nose dived into the Android world by why of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy SII.
My suggestions would be:
Use this XDA site a LOT. I'm actually subscribed to all of the Tab forums so I get a recap each morning, and every day I am finding out something I did not know.
When you go hunting for programs to use with your Tab, I would suggest the Android Market (the andrioid icon with the word "market" under it), and/or
The Amazon App Store for Android.
I might also suggest the following sites:
http://www.bestandroidappsreview.com/
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/
http://gizmodo.com/
http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/tablets
Hope that helps!
thank you,
I do look on xda and other sites about some new stuff from day to day.
I would say that most of the subjects are out of interest for me or simply too complicated for a newbee like me.
Im surfing the market almost everyday but there is so many apps, i go with the top ranking but sometimes the best ones arent the ones beeing dowloaded the most.
I really like that Best android apps review site
thank you for your help
The learning curve is indeed steep for new android users on a site like this where the majority of topics are development based. But we all started somewhere. Once you become familiar with your devices and the OS specifics things will become clear. There are many good guides here on XDA, and other forums, for android beginners that answer a lot of questions. Welcome to this great community. And have FUN learning about your device!
One Other Suggestion
I forgot to say, one thing I do is try and think of "what" I need the device to do (it be the Tab or my SII), then when I am in the Android Marketplace or the Amazon Apps site, I search based on that "need".
In my case, the very first thing I wanted on both of my devices was an app for all of my financial institutions (Banks, credit card co's, etc). So I did a search for the specific apps, such as "bank of america", "chase", and so on. Of course, I make sure to use apps provided direct from that company for security reasons.
But anyways, the point is, I work the search function HARD!
Salut Nainconpetant
Si ta des questions spécifique gène toi pas, j'étais à la même étape que toi le mois passé, mais ici c'est le meilleur forum pour trouver des réponses
Hi Nainconpetant, I'm from Quebec too,
I have a 4G tab, but I'm with Telus.
If you are looking for a good video player : "Dice player" is the best. (it is not free but if you expect to watch movies, you should consider to buy it)
My suggestion :
if you want to try another browser : Dolphin for Pad
phone call : Skype.
pour accéder aux fichiers de la tablette : File Manager HD
Si tu utilise Twitter : Plume (the widget is very good)
"Quebec 511" vient d'etre mis à jour pour supporter les tablettes.
Films : IMDB
if you want a widget for your battery % : Battery Widget
if you listen podcasts : BeyondPod (for honeycomb)
Pour lire le journal (qc/mtl la presse etc) : Press Reader
un bon widget pour facebook : Wizz Widget
pour les Torrents : tTorrent
About the lag, I get less lag since I removed the "Social Hub" widget.
And keep most of your widgets on the other screen, not on the main one.
It can help too.
Si ta d'autres question hésite pas a m'écrire un msg en privée.
a+
