AccuTracking

I think a lot of these i415 phones are fubar.........that's why they're so cheap..........made in china with inferior materials....and Motorola flakey software........z

Does facing "up" meaning the keypad facing the sky or the back of the phone for best GPS reception???? I have mine on the inside of my engine compartment connected directly to the adjacent battery. Make sure its facing up and not down I have tested this and get much better readings when i...

Can't Connect...........It does this all the time. But it's not a signal strength issue, cause I can use the phone to call, and I have 3 bars of SS. HELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!.............z

What you mean keemosabe???.....Wouldn't YOU be curious where your dog goes on a 2-3 day road trip???..........lol........z

if you are walking on the seashore, and see your altitude as -15 meters, you should not be concerned.

You better start digging to get out of the hole you're in!!!!.........lol........z

Here's some pictures of the setup:

Also, I'm working today, and am taking Panic with me, so no test today.......unless I do it when I come home......he likes to take off in the afternoons also, but it's over a hundred here, so he'll probably chill out under his wet Bogie location..........z

I've noticed that the unit won't fix a location when it comes out of a no-fix state, unless it is absolutely stationary. i.e. if you have it inside, and then take it outside it won't automatically fix and transmit unless you go to the Accu Tracking window and hold the unit absolutely still........:(...

Which network is using the family locator...Sprint or Nextel? I wanna use that tower that's in my neighborhood, but it looks like I can't........ .......z

You're RIGHT!!!.........gotta see if it works first though.....lol........z

False alarm........he's been under a 5th wheel I got out here all day long........will try again tomorrow. Battery went all the way down in 10 hours or so......but I had it set to transmit every minute......of course it never WAS able to transmit cause no signal. If this works, I'll invest in a bigg...

BTW, any way to access the tower triangulation data?.....Not the tower position, but the rough position using tower triangulation....z

BTW, does Sprint support Accu Tracking?......cause if worse comes to worse, I can buy a Sprint phone with Java....I know they have them, but don't know if they will let a Java program access the GPS data and transmit it to the servers.............anybody have any info on this?..........THX, z

HEY, I think he just took off..............no tracking points yet though.......z

Well, I'm going to talk to Sprint on Monday and see if they can give me a Sim card for the i415.....will let you all know.

As for Panic...........he's being a good dog and is hanging around.........just when I want him to roam he doesn't...........lol...............z
