MTS: GSM + GPS real time tracking

We are glad to announce the release of a new MTS version. Version 1.12 main changes are:

- added the timers window (here you can specify the interval in minutes between client to server GPRS communication and the interval in seconds between refreshing the current cell id and looking for it through the local database)

- greatly optimized the local database search system to conserve battery power

- now the user can be notified when the client to server GPRS communication fails (Settings - alerts)

- fixed an issue that caused MTS to crash when saving information from the Settings - Hardware window

Grab the latest MTS version from here - http://www.fightersoft.ro/mts/download.htm

We would also like to bring to your attention that we have started working on a MTS counterpart that runs on desktop computers. We decided to integrate this piece of software into an already existing project - Star Remote Mail. Until now, Star Remote Mail was basically an e-mail notification application with some features that put it in the e-mail clients category of applications. Starting with version 1.15, Star Remote Mail has some specially designed features for the MTS users:

- every incoming e-mail message can be automatically "forwarded" to your MTS Client

- you can send quick messages to MTS users directly from this application

- you can track a MTS user and display his or hers location as a tooltip hint in the Star Remote Mail system tray icon (see attachement)

Give Star Remote Mail a try - http://www.fightersoft.ro/starmail/index.htm

We are also working on another application for Windows Mobile users (smartphone and pocket pc alike) - an audio/video streaming server - Star Media Center. This software allows one to view his favorite TV channels or even webcam frames live using only the GPRS connection. You can also change channels (like a remote controller) and start and stop recording remotly. For more information about this project, please visit http://www.fightersoft.ro/smcenter/index.htm

It works on any GSM network. If your network operator is not present in the list - http://86.105.56.50/inf then we will add it shortly.

As for the SP5, you should go ahead and check, however to my knowledge it should work.

Nope, can't see it in the list, my operator is :

Australia - Telstra

plus there is also

Australia - Vodafone

Australia - Optus

and maybe a couple others but they are the major three.

Matt.

I have added these network operators. Go to http://86.105.56.50/inf and follow the instructions from that page to make them available in the MTS client.

*unfortunatly right now, the ISP is down... hopefully it will get back online in a few minutes.

- added support for displaying the date when the current cell was originally added or the date when it was last edited (Options - Edit Location - Options - Get Cell Information)

SuggestionsWishlist items:

- Ability to upload the photo from the application.

- Ability to have custom photos of a location (Like a photo of my office building when I am at work...but someone else in this location could use their own pic.

- Ability to pull an XML file of my last 'X' locataions so that I could format it the way I want.

- AutoMode/Manual Mode indicator on the main screen

- Ability to view map of current area on phone

Question:

What is supposed to go into the description field of a location? My personal reference or will everyone use this field....could I write WORK in that field? Or it it for things like a section name/area of a city?

How did you get your sp5 going on it? I have decertified my phone (now i found all the registry hacks etc.).. i have the qtek 8310 (same phone i believe) but it just doesnt work :) ive tried all the different preset phone types, ive tried all the com ports (always says it cant open it) The only thing i can think of is im using rom version 2.0.9.0

Anyone?

Mobile Tracking System 1.14 released:

- greatly improuved the messaging feature. Now you can browse, view, reply and find users that sent you messages

- now you can enable GPS Sound Speed feature - Options - GPS Functions - GPS Speed Sound and MTS will speak to you your current speed. For this feature to work you need Star Time installed - http://www.fightersoft.ro/startime/index.htm

- fixed some minor interface bugs

- fixed an issue that caused MTS to crash when enabling work offline mode on some devices

http://www.fightersoft.ro/mts/download.htm

Finally it's here - the MTS messaging module. Until now, the messages received were viewed in an Internet Explorer window. Now everything has changed: you can browse through your messages, reply to them without manually writing down the address and find the user that sent you the message - all from this messaging module.

Another cool feature is the new GPS Speed Sound feature. This will enable MTS to actually speak to you your current speed in KPH. It is very useful when you are on a bike or when unable to watch the speed display on your car. Note that for this feature to work you have to install Star Time ( http://www.fightersoft.ro/startime/index.htm ).

We also launched a new version of Star Remote Mail that will allow locating, tracking and satellite view display all from one simple desktop application for people without a MTS compatible device. In addition to these features you can also send messages to MTS users. Grab Star Remote Mail from http://www.fightersoft.ro/starmail/index.htm

Mobile Tracking System 1.15 released:

- added user status feature - users can now set a general status that will be shown both in the last location information and the full tracking report - for example "I am on holiday"

- added net monitor cell information feature - now you can get detailed information about all 8 cells present in the net monitor window - county, town, description, user that added it (and date) and user that edited it (and date)

- now after sending a message, the message editbox clears, so you won't have to manually delete your previous message when trying to send a new one

- fixed some interface flaws (standard version)

Hmmm I am not familiar with this phone. Try every model from the phonemodel list or COM ports, perhaps it will work.

Tried all the com ports, i get, "The specified port is not opened" on all the ports. And when I try other phone models I get the Native Exception. I have deleted the registry value and reinstalled the program countless times, still get the same problems. Here is some info on the phone;

WM2003 Second Edition

Version 4.21.1088 Build 14235.2.0.0

Radio Version 03.06

Processor: INTEL® PXA262

ROM Updates:

Operator: 2.6.2.4

Manufacturer: 2.6.2.4

Microsoft: 4.21.14235.0

Dont know if that helps

First create an account from Options - Settings - Your ID - Options - Create Account / Recover. Second select your network operator from Your ID. If your network operator is not present, then send me the two letter country code and operator name - example US Cingular, UK Vodafone etc.

When you will get a cell without a name you will be able to add it to the online database (now that you have an username). If you don't have a GPRS connection than you can use the local database system (Options - Settings - Work Offline).

Due to some maintenence issues, the machine that hosted the MTS Server has moved to a different location - meaning a different IP address. To be able to use MTS online you will have to change the IP address from Options - Settings - Your ID - Server Address to 82.76.212.178. However, it is possible that this IP address will be changed again, so please check http://www.fightersoft.ro/mts/services.html for the current IP address.

This MTS server will run with the file upload, user signature and e-mail receive features disabled. The situation will return to normal in about one week.

We are sorry for the inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding.

The server is back on it's original IP address: 86.105.56.50

Mobile Tracking System 1.17 released:

- added the TV Watch feature! Go to Options - Tools - Watch TV and CHECK IT OUT!

- when you are in an area with the same description as the town name, then only the town name will appear - example HR, Lacu Rosu instead of HR, Lacur Rosu, Lacu Rosu

- fixed some issues that caused the MTS client to accept non standard ASCII characters that are not supported by the MTS server

- optimized the MTS protocol

*note: this feature does not work using the apn wap. People that don't want to generate extra GPRS costs can check out this feature using ActiveSync

I have my SP5 running MTS. I followed the unlock instructions for C500 on the MTS web site, and it worked. I created a CAB file with those registry settings, so I can run one CAB when I hard-reset my phone. Try this cab and see if that does the trick for your phone too!

PS: This CAB changes registry settings, so do it at your own risk!

@pavankp, may I post the CAB file on the MTS decertification page (with credits of course)? I would also like to notify you (although this is very late now) that I used your username with the find feature of MTS in a MTS presentation that happened to be televised. I am sorry that I didn't asked your permission first, however I needed to give an example of how MTS runs ok no matter in what country the user is and I thought of you because of your extraordinary activity on US Cingular. Check out http://www.fightersoft.ro/mts/index.htm if you want to see the video recording of the event.

@oz666, I know. The streaming server is temporary down due to some hardware maintenence and ISP problems. It will be back online shortly.
