Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.

Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:
Did we fix things in the latest update?
I got the trouble. Here is the screencast describing it - http://zalil.ru/31810543
When all the configuration is done I just get the widget without any number
You really should use the standard debugging tools. I would never watch an mp4 posted by a user on a russian spazorg site...
Any issues to report?
Anything to report?
Error report
I got a crash error after confirming a USSD code, it will not let me set predefined indicators. (I sent an email error report)
Are you rooted?
when i add ussd code, the operator replies with the USSD window, now it asks me that is this what you are expecting, as soon as i hit YES, my statusbar shows that prepay widget has crashed, tap me to send error report.
Have you sent a report? In any case, this issue will be fixed today or tomorrow because youre not the only one experiencing it!
1.3.3.0
Added full Russian translation
Fixed many small errors from user logs
Fixed rare radio restart issue on some ICS builds
Everything OK with this update guys? Was the radio thing fixed on your device?

Hi mate, thanks. Unfortunately that was a long time ago, many devices away.
Look for "pattern wallpaper" on google images. I usually get stuff from there.
downloaded this apps 1 hours ago (Xperia Arc 2.3.4)
enter USSD codes, verify ussd message, press "yes" and the app crashed.

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/...49-3C6B-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.

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
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
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.
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!

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.

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

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).

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>
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.

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...

Hi, i'm coming from the gio section and my father has a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305N with stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1
Poblem in details:
He got problem with showing contacts on viber and tango and both doesn't show any contact except whatsapp works great. It's the second time it happens and what i did at the first time, i fixed it by clearing the data on contacts (stock application) in settings (resetting) and same both for viber and tango and then restarted the phone. I have set to "show all contacts" in contacts (stock app) but still doesn't show any in viber/tango. When trying to sync viber for contacs, it writes "Syncing not completed, please try again" and for tango, still message "we didn't find any tango users in your adress book".
btw he bought the phone with JB already installed, so we don't know if the problem was same in ics.
So my question is if someone has similar problem and knows how to fix it, if it does conflict with other apps and if it's a bug in 4.1.1
Isn't a JB bug because I've been using Tango since 4.0.4.
[SOLVED] "contacts to show"
The contacts didn't show 100%, so i had to go to "contacts to show" in menu and pressed custom at the bottom then checked every boxes view my contacts/all contacts each on of the account registered on the phone, then it showed contacts in Viber and Tango. Sorry if spam, but i tried everything and i found at last the solution at Tango's support section and my father is now happy.

Hi,

Hi Viber team
I have posted a review on play store too. I am very unhappy with version 4. I use viber on SGSIII and Nexus 10. Most of my viber contacts before upgrade dont show up as viber contacts anymore; especially painful to note my wife is also missing in that list. Backward compatibility issues huh? btw wife is on iOS6(iPhone 3GS).
Wife and me used to love Viber. It really sucks now. All my wife's viber history also was lost once i upgraded her viber to 4.0 as well. Multiple issues are plaguing the devices post-update.
Please lets address those.
Cheers
Ravi
@ raviraviravi -
Thank you for the report of the problem. We are sorry to hear of these issues, and we will do our best to help you resolve them.
We thoroughly tested Viber on iOS6 and so we didn't expect any major problems with the new Viber version on it.
About your contacts: The source of this issue could greatly vary. Please read this short page in our HelpDesk, outlining some possible workarounds that will help reboot synchronization of the contact list: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/...st-is-not-showing-your-friends-as-viber-users
If the problem remains, or there's any other issue: we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum".
Thanks in advance!
@Viber R& D:
You guys and your responses as always are thorough and very considerate, much appreciated.
Looks like the recent upgrade in my SGSIII has fixed most of the issues around contacts synchronization.
I have an issue with my desktop version though, the 'catch' though is I use a portable version of Viber Desktop, packaged by some Fabianator folks using VMware. Can you guys not build a nice portable install of viber yourself. The problem with this 'portable' viber desktop is that the contacts dont quite synchronize well, even if they do i am only able to see the messages but the call and message buttons are greyed out for me.
Should i put in a feature request for a portable version? Also, something on the lines of Wechat which has web version would be awesome; even going a step further if gmail can have hangouts(which are voice calls and video calls) inbuilt into the browser itself, Why cant you guys.
For me the issue is also wrt the fact that i dont have admin rights on my work PC and I cant live without Viber since i contact my wife and my close friends through viber.
In fact i go a step ahead and recommend viber to all and sundry, since it just about is now operable on any device!!! which is as good as anything gets.
Cheers
Ravi
Thank you for all this elaborate feedback Ravi!
About the portable version you're using: at the moment Viber does not officially support running the app on the specific configuration you described. In this case I would open a support ticket (and not a feature request, though it's closely related for your issue) using this direct link: we would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://helpme.viber.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/1
When you submit the ticket, in the line called: "Through which channel did you submit your initial inquiry", please make sure to choose "Technical Forum".
Regarding the web version - this is something we are not planning at the moment. For this, I certainly invite you to submit a feature request.
The Admin permission needed for Viber Desktop is currently the expected behavior of Viber. We have received requests from some of our users to cancel this requirement from Viber, and we're looking into this issue at the moment. If we have news, we'll certainly keep you posted.
@Viber R&D:
I wouldn't want to raise a support ticket for issues in the unsupported packaged version of Viber desktop.
However, for having a 'portable official' version of Viber Desktop. Won't it be a feature request? I want to just add onto the numbers in terms of people requesting for it. Where do i formally do it?
The lack of a web version and you having no plans to put in place doesn't bother me much; its like I said the lack of 'official portable' Viber that gives me nightmares.
Does it have anything to do with the system limitation of only 5 concurrent devices at any given point in time; since a portable version would simply mean the ability to run in a portable manner in as many machines as possible?
I am only trying to understand why development towards something elegant like that can't be expedited.
Cheers
Ravi
@raviraviravi -
Well, every project of ours demands time, manpower and resources. The reason Viber does not have an 'official portable' compatibility yet is simply because it hasn't been officially developed to handle it. It could be a problem with the way Viber communicates with our server (for example - port/protocol issues when trying to deliver Viber traffic), or other sources of the problem. When/if we develop such a version, we will check all these issues thoroughly and only then we'll be able to tell 'what is not compatible', so to speak.
Yes, then it is recommended that you open a feature request ticket. One way or another, we see those tickets and will be able to consider it in our development roadmap.
Thank you again for your time!
