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>

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...
Hey everyone I'm new here and just recently got HTC Mozart. Its not a bad phone, but I am having some problems where I cannot access the market place,because it requires a activation code. Does anyone know what the code is or how to get it. Right now I cannot really do anything on the phone, its a bit boring, so I need some advice.
Thanks.

have you subscribe to hotmail or live messenger, once you set these up on the phone running, the market place should work.
Hi, thanks for replying, but yes I am already subscribed, when I try to sign in or create a new hotmail, it keeps asking an acitivation code, at the botton, it says call support, which takes me directly to orange which are no help at all. What should I do. Thanks
i have the mozart, and have master reset it many times, but have'nt come across activation code, would this be a network lock, can you take a photo and upload it.

is this a new account, and also in the phone all you need to do is sign in, not create a new account.
Well the phone is second hand where I bought from a shop and I already have hotmail account. So what happens now?
have you checked if the phone is network locked.
How do I check if it is network locked, the network I'm using now is orange, it could be locked to Orange.
can you put a different usim, other than the orange, can you also take a photo of the screen showing the activation code.
have you set up hotmail to run on the phone yet, does it work.
No I can't run the hotmail on the phone, because when I do that, it asks me for an activation code. So how did you get access on the marketplace?
can you take a photo of the phone, can you put a different usim in the phone.
Call Microsoft support they'll give you new activation code in no time
Yeah I will try call them, thanks for the advice
As an American living in China ... I'm hoping that SOMEONE here has experience / advice on how to:
root
and flash the ROM
for my Motorola XT882
Yes, I know it's only sold here in China ... and it seems cool - except it won't be anywhere near cool if I can get the d'mn thing flashed.
There's no market, no ability to add a Google user account, and a ton of crap software that motorola only intended Chinese literate people to use .... the applications were developed in Chinese ONLY regardless of the OS setting.
Really hoping someone can tell me ... can I use the ATRIX root process?
Can I use an ATRIX ROM?
Thanks
I picked up an xt882 last month when I was in China. I am now in Sri Lanka, but hope to use it back home in America next month.
I was able to get the Google system framework and applications on there by reading Chinese forums, translated to English with Chrome. I don't know any Chinese, but was able to figure it out. Here is one of the guides I used (just search for GMS or google pack and you should find similar guides and download links):
first Google hit for: DiyPDA独家分享XT882官方GMS补丁
...sorry, since I have no posting history, I am not allowed to paste any links...
Anyway, it was totally annoying not to be able to associate a Google account with the phone, as well as not have maps/talk/gmail/etc. I had tried installing APKs of some of these programs backed up from my older Android, but some (like gmail/talk) require the Google services framework. Others, like maps, will work sideloaded like that (but without latitude, places etc).
My xt882 is also rooted. I followed the directions here:
first Google hit for: moto XT882手机GMS包,G网补丁,ROOT软件« 听月3G
Lastly, I have 6 finger (supposedly you can get it up to 10) multitouch, up from the default 2... which really isn't all that useful. I followed the directions here:
first Google hit for: 修改配置文件让XT882直接支持10点触控(已上图)
I am still trying to figure out how to get a clean ROM on there. I want to get rid of motoblur, obviously, as well as all the Chinese crap they put on it. I don't think I have clockworkmod recovery properly installed on it, though I do have ROM Manager... and root is working.
From what I've read, I would not try to use any Atrix stuff on it.
Anyway, it is just a pain to try to read through these forums translated from Chinese, but I am certain there is a lot more that can be hacked.
Best of luck! Please let me know if you figure out how to get a better ROM on there.
BTW-- I was getting 300K/s sustained throughput on China Telecom using that phone tethered to my laptop. I was always very happy with China Telecom's service.
So nice to hear from you
Hopefully we'll merit our own SECTION like everyone else
I'm rooted now too (a few hours) http://bit.ly/getrootnow is how I did it.
The guy also has the tools to download to do it ...
I also have the Rom Manager - but could not FIND the clockworkmod anywhere - can you send me via email the APK?
Parker AT FusionLimited DOT com
Coool.
I've got to crash ... but I figure tomorrow I'm going to be able to back up my current ROM, and then figure which one I want to put on it instead.
Skype: ParkerFairfield
i did some research last night and came upon this page...
first google hit for: 【机锋rom组】9月3日全球首发XT882 Clockwork Mod Recovery
i got the apk off there and installed it, giving me an app called system recovery. it requests root and allows me to install clockworkmod recovery, but ... though i can click the "install recovery" button and it seems to do something, then says "install success!", it doesn't actually install it i'll email you the APK. please let me know if you can get it working.
im running rom manager premium v4.3.3.0, but i am afraid to flash clockwordmod recovery from that, as it doesn't list the xt882 on the confirm phone model dialog. the closest is atrix 4g, or maybe the droid3 global. i'm not going to mess with that until i see some confirmation that it would actually work.
let me know if any of this helps... i'll keep you posted.
it would be nice if we had a section for the xt882, but i think more people need to get it first! i wonder if motorola will end up selling it outside of china.

BTW, any idea what they are talking about on these forums when they say "brush" ..? or, at least, when chrome translates whatever it is they are writing into "brush"?

i got recovery working. you have to pay attention to the third step (plugging it in). i didn't think it would matter, but it does!

我一定有ROOT,可是我需要做一个backup ROM。我的cwm 不认识我的手机。
I saw your page at www.bit.ly/motoxt882 and want to ask - does your APK allow me to
1。 make a ROM backup of my current phone?
2。to install other ROM?

What I'm not understanding now is - what's the point of the MOTO XT882 BOOTSTRAP.apk file .... is that the 'base ROM' for the phone? Or is that the file that works with the CWM Recovery application?
you can get recovery on there using MOTO XT882 BOOTSTRAP.apk ...
install it, then run the program "system recovery" and follow the directions. it is pretty straightfoward. be sure your phone is plugged in, as per step 3.
i performed a backup of my phone earlier, but i have no idea how to get a new ROM on there.
keep me posted. thx!
Moto xt882 dual SIM ?
sorry probably this is not the right thread, but.. just a simple question for who alreary has a xt882:
I'd like to be sure about the following 2 things before buying it:
1- Is it dual SIM ?
2- Are the 2 SIM active at the same time? ( than you can receive calls on both sim without switching manually, even if via software, between the two SIM) ?
thanks a lot and sorry again for the question out of the thread scope ...
treqq
yeah, it's dual SIM... there are two slots for SIMs, one CDMA and one GSM.
both are active at the same time. not only can you receive calls to either SIM without manually switching, but you can also place calls from either SIM. that is, when you place a call, it prompts you which SIM you want to use.
i tested this in china just for fun. it felt good to have my phone on two networks

Hi guys!
I'm interested in getting this phone, but I'm not living in China... Can you recommend some way to get one? Maybe some online Chinese store that ships to Europe?
Thanks

This is a great phone-I followed the advice here and now it's properly rooted and has access to Google accounts for market etc.
BTW I was able to purchase it retail (it's also available online) at a China Telecom store.
My only disappointment is that it does not seem to support GSM 3G, only 3G via China Telecom, which I guess is no surprise given they are the main carrier selling the phone.
Is anyone aware of a dual SIM android phone that supports China Unicom's 3G? I don't care about 3G on Telecom so much (even though I hear they have the fastest speeds)
gametheorist, when i used this phone in china on china telecom, i had a CDMA sim. when i went to sri lanka, i had it on dialog's 3g network with a GSM sim. now i am in bangkok and have it on 3g with AIS, again using a GSM sim.
it should support any 3g GSM network. as far as i know, it is not locked down to any one carrier. were that the case, i would have never bought the phone!
Hi Larfo,
That's very good news, I guess that means that China Unicom's 3G is just somehow not compatible? When I look through the mobile data settings for GSM, I didn't see any real options that indicated that I would be connected via the net (let alone 3G)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
in sri lanka, i had to add a GSM access point as well as configure some proxy settings. not all applications worked, nor did tethering. i think those issues stem from their network, not the phone, however. the service was unbearably slow, on top of that.
in thailand, i also had to add a GSM access point, but it doesn't require any further settings (eg proxy, etc). everything works except for tethering (both the built-in wireless hotspot functionality, as well as the third-party wireless tether app which requires root).
the real test will be when i return to the states in a few weeks. it will be interesting to see how well i can interface it with tmobile and ATT. also, i am curious if vzw or sprint will give me a SIM so that i can use it on their networks.

Hi,
I tried following the instructions here. I have the phone rooted and have downloaded the bootstrap.apk file. I have installed recovery also but am still not able to install the Google market or any related apps. Kindly please guide. Thanks in advance.
Hello there, I'm having some trouble with purchasing apps on Marketplace.
When I try to buy an app on my phone I get an error saying: A problem with your account is preventing us from completing your request. I get a different error if I try to buy an app on the PC, this time saying: Error in the service. Please try purchase again (Take note, this was translated from swedish, so it might not be correct) For some reason they're not giving me any error codes.
I'm thinking it's because I force updated my phone, but I'm not sure. Can anybody please help me? I've been trying to fix this all day.

If he tried on both his PC and his HTC, I'm quite sure it isn't a cookie issue. I'm also quite sure that he would have his card details inserted otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get near to checking out. Only thing I can think of is the wrong details being entered.

Same problem here
Bump. Marketplace is still not working for me and I've waited almost 3 weeks for a solution now.
Only to that single application or to another applications too ?
Same problem with free apps ?
The most problem I ever find with installing from Marketplace seems to be problem with the Live ID identification server or something. If it can’t recognize me, then unable to download is not so weird.
But it usually resolve itself after a while and/or phone restart + better internet connection.
support.microsoft.com/gp/windows-phone
i think official support must resolve the problem
upgrade and buy on marketplace
Htc require pc connection before to buy?
What build of seven do you have.
Only genuine OS can access to logon Zune and marketplace.

Hi,
I lost my LG P500. Someone stole it.
I know i should've done many things to track it. But unfortunately i didn't! i don't even know it's IMEI number or any details.
But I am here seeking help on a seemingly feeble ray of hope in tracking my phone!
When i open "android market" and click on the 'install' button of any app, i see that my phone is listed with a different carrier name now.
i.e earlier it used to be "Vodafone IN LG-P500".
Now it is shown as "TATA DOCOMO LGE LG-P500".
Which definitely means that the thief used a TATA DOCOMO sim and got connected to android market from my stolen phone!
Now this is my question: Is there any way to retrieve phone details of that TATA DOCOMO connection (like phone number or IMEI details etc.) from "Android Market"?
Or in case some one has a better advice, please post and i would be grateful.
Thanks in advance for your time and concern.
Regards
Manu
Idk about retrieveing data but if you still have the box of the phone there should be also your phones IMEI (it can also be on your warranty papers) also if 6you got it via a carrier you might want to go and tell them and the police what happened.Maybe they can track it down via it's internet connection location.One more thing if you get it back then instal avast and enable it's anti theft option.
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda premium
There is a tracking app from android market which you can install (from the market) which is for phones lost or stolen. It's called second chance or plan B I dont remember. But its for if you didnt have any anti-theft apps installed at the time it was lost.
