Any news on a celltower based LocateMe, Erica?

Comment by mwahal | October 15, 2008 | 4:26 pm

I installed the beta14 version from Cydia on my iphone 3g 2.1 . When I play a video file locally (from ssh) using play (there is no playaudio which has been referenced all over), I don’t see the video on the screen. If I play a file using a remote server, “play http://server/somefile.mp4“, I only hear audio portion of it, no video. Any ideas ?

There’s no video support yet under 2.1 from the command line

Ah .. thanks for clarification .. I read at couple of websites that the new version can play video from command line. May be that information is not valid for 2.1. Thanks. Mudit

Hi Erica,

For the past two weeks, I’ve been trying to write an app that logs the visible cell towers’ ids every couple of minutes. But I always get a “Bus Error” when I call _CTServerConnectionCellMonitorGetCellInfo.

Studying your newer version of “findme”, I saw that you are using different API calls to get cell ids, right?

But, there is absolutely no info on the Internet about _CTServerConnectionNetworkMonitorCopyFieldTestInfo and the other methods you are calling.

Can you, please, tell me where can I find an example of that, or can you send me a code snippet?

Thank you so much in advance.

[]s, Renato

First of all, thank you for your apps and utilities.

I’m asking about the badge utility. May I know how do I bade the iPod app? No matter how I try (bade iPod, badge MobileMusicPlayer etc), it simply won’t badge it.

Thanks.

Sorry about the typo “bade iPod”. It should read “badge iPod”.

Hi there. I am just finishing a nice “lojack” script for FW 2.1 runs well. Now I would like to copy the full adressbook into an email. Could you enhande “abquery” to show ALL adressbook entries?

Regards

When I rotate the Phone the appflow area is stuck to the left side. with the regular view rotates then stays main screen using most of the screen. I reset all files to 0755 but nothing lines up proper. any ideas

So now they need an update for 2.2? Because AppFlow stopped loading.

I’m reporting that sbar is not working for firmware 2.2, and looking forward to an update please.

Keep up the good work!

I can’t get launch to work from within a perl script, when that script is called as a spring/winterboard application.

Sample script:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
system “/usr/bin/launch”, “com.apple.mobilecal”;
#EOF

Run this from the command line: Works great

But when I stuff this in /Applications/SomeApplication/someapp.pl with matching Info.plist, an icon.png and a Default.png for splash (respringing with BossPrefs), the script runs, but launch is not able to launch a new app when running as an app itself. exit code from launch is 0 anyway, so it thinks that it succeeded itself, I guess.

Any hints on getting launch to work from a script running as an app?

I discover your utilites today.
Very powerfull.

I was looking for a way to switch on and off the airplane mode by the command line. I didn’t find that on the sb command-line. Maybe, I didn’t undestrand everything ?

Thanks a lot.

Erica,

Thanks so much for the hard work you put into all of this.

I am using the version of findme found in the latest version of Erica Utilities, and I can’t figure out if there are any switches for the command, and, if so, how to use them. Specifically, I am trying to setup a lojack script using findme, and publishing current location to twitter, but the twitter post ends up being XML formatted. is there any way to get this data in a different format?
