Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

Edit: ha-ha)) I'm stupid. This program just changed connection settings of N900 to "Auto-connect" and "Prefer WLAN if available". I think it should be fixed..

Yes, It changes the connection settings:) I have already wrote about it.

Well, I can set the settings back, when reports are stopped to the previous state... I will inform when the update is available

rachol, I didn't read your changelog carefully. Sorry!
Yes, I think it should be changed to the previous state. At least while testing it is more convenient...

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

Under the checkbox I have stated with 2 lines long text, how to use it. I haven't figured out how to prompt user for a password while uninstalling application.

So once again:

If you don't select the checkbox in the configuration settings ( 2nd page )
you will not be allowed to uninstall the application.

You will have to activate config window again and select the checkbox. Now you are allowed to uninstall it.

Sorry I didn't try this program yet, but I'm following this thread very interested :)

Does it really set "Prefer WLAN if available"? I would not recommend that, as for example in my university there is an unsecured WLAN but you can only use it to connect to the internet with VPN. This WLAN is available in large parts of the city, so the email-part of this program would be useless within the range of this WLAN.
just a remark :)

edit: maybe its even better not to change the system-wide connection-settings. This program could just try to connect before sending an email. I would still prefer 3G/GPRS in this case.

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

Well, it doesn't

The only thing is does, it sets the "autoconnect" setting. It sets autoconnect to any connection. Then it chooses the connection based on connections stored on your phone and the order of those connection.

I would not like to mess around to much with user settings, not more than it's needed, so I am thinking to stick to what it does already. However, in the future it might be possible to implement a sloution, where user can set the connection preferneces.

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

Anyone has encountered any problems?

Current issues:
*when it needs to send an e-mail or use network data for gps, currently also after installation and reboot it changes Settings-> internet connections ->autoconnect to "Any"

*the only way to activate config file, after it has been once configured is to send a message to the phone with config password.

Anyone encountered some other problems?

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

Everything works fine for me but there is a small problem which could be solved. When the app works and I try to start browsing it connects me automatic. This is a problem for me because I use GPRS so sometimes I don't want to have extra costs and want to connect to WLAN.

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

I'm a bit stupid, I installed and configured the app before reading the entire thread! doh!
Anyway, the program isn't working for me, I'm guessing I configured it wrong, for example, my email address has a . dot in the part before the @ character and I saw someone further up in this thread said it caused problems, so this may be why I'm not getting any emails. I also did not check the auto-reply or fill in a phone number so I won't get any sms either. My real problem though is that when I send myself an sms with my config password, nothing happens except that I get an sms with my config password! No config screen. I don't know why I changed it from the default but I used 'activate_config' as my config password (activate_reports and deactivate_reports as my other passwords) and now I'm wondering if the _ underscore character is a problem like in the email address problem also mentioned in this thread? I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct password but I guess there is a chance I might have messed up and have it wrong... Or maybe I just don't understand properly how it's supposed to work?

Thanks for developing this app rachol, I'll be happy to pay for it when it is at a 'complete' stage!

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

Really nice! Well done job!

Thanks a lot ... something noone should miss on his n900!

Dont know why, but in the email i just get black front.jpg - maybe i have overseen smthg?

Tonight i'll take a closer look at source, are there still parts not published? Is it the "keylogger"-part *g*

Consider for improvement:
- Maybe the Control-Messages should not show up in Messaging?
- Some sort of "Here i am" could really be interesting, for example if u forget your phone anywhere, maybe under the couch of a friend. For example with self recorded wav/mp3 "Hey, here is a n900 belonging to ...! My User is missing me maybe i got stolen so please return me!"

Re: [Announce] I am here - Request GPS position and more with SMS
 

Yes, It is know, I have mentioned, that already few time, and temporary solution how to fix it:

After installing rebooting or start/stoping reports, you have to settings->interent connections->autoconnect from "Any" to whatever you wish.

I wil fix it in next update.
