Well, I did something wrong and I just can't get any messages. I need to reset the whole thing. I tried removing the /ETC/OMAPCAM/CM4397.ENC. file, but I just didn't find it. Actually there is no cm4397.enc file anywhere. Please help me!
If you don't want to send a public info about it, please send it directly to roberto@datafidelis.com.br. Thanks & Regards.

Hi,

I was playing with the new version today.
I had one problem with it so far:
- It connected to my MMS APN, which doesn't really have internet,
so it failed to send any e-mail etc.
- How does it choose which access point to use?
- One more question, I am using wifi switcher, since it's a great battery boost, I think "i am here" does not cope with that,
that mean in 90% of the cases, if my phone was stolen or forgotten, the wifi will be disabled.

It uses first available connection from the you have in connection settings.

I might improve it, so it will test connections until it finds working one, but It will still take some time.

Wifi switcher.... thanks for the information, I will make it work.

However above improvements will come in new version, new version will not come earlier than 1-2 weeks unfortunatelly. Please be patient :)

@ roberto@datafidelis.com.b I am sorry, but I can't guess what could be your problem. If you have the newest version, I have not heard of such problems. If you have old version try to use the solution I presented to eitama one page earlier.

Hi again Rachol,

First 1 or 2 weeks is fast, not to mention your great help from last night. Super fast.
You work is truly amazing in my eyes.

I'd like to suggest the following :
1. If sim card is the original one, Use predefined list of connections, gprs and then wifi. (Preconfigured wifi and then free available hotspots)
2. if sim card is different or no simcard, use wifi.

Cheers!

I don't get this app, it's kinda confusing.

First of all, the packaging seems wonky, since the version number should not be part of the binary names and so on (right?). Secondly, I clearly stated to be able to remove the app, and when I did using 'apt-get remove' the files are still on the phone, and when I reboot it it automatically connects to my wifi network at home!!

How can I make it stop? Help!

Well, it depends, for example, there are to different packages:
gstreamer-tools and gstreamer-tools-0.10, they are widly used, no one complains.

Well, that means you have few versions of the same software installed, if you have read the first post in which I explain step by step what is happening with every new version and what you should do in order to uninstall it and install properly newer version, you would not get any problems what so ever. So please, anyone who has some problems check first the first post (which is in fact something like 2 A4 pages long, so all the possible information is there).

Edit: the different versions number in the name of the program have some point believe me or not. That is why I have given the all the needed information how to install/uninstall staff in here. While everything got tested basically by at least hundred users, that read these posts, I have put a new version to the repositories. At the same time I have requested uninstalling the older version.

However, I am checking your issue now, I will inform if I found anything

I checked,

It is impossible, that the application is running after you have uninstalled it.

However with apt-get -r you remove only the exacutable and few more, not configuration files... it is valid for every other package. However, I will make an update in following week, that will remove all the stuff while is being uninstalled.

For now you are left with about 5kb at most of configuration on your N900. If you can leave with it, you can install the app now, however if you can't leave without this extra 5kb, then unfortunatelly have to wait week more :D

Sorry guys, but I have so many things to do lately, however I wll try to be back on track after a 1-2 weeks :) Peace!! :D
