When I enter the purchased registration number nothing happens
Unfortunately this is nothing new, it's a constant problem for all WM Smartphone and PPC software, as all reselling sites require an "Owner Name". Owner Name registration process has one big problem, in order to create the correct registration key based on "Owner Name" of the Smartphone/PPC, the Owner Name itself must be entered EXACTLY like it is written in Start->Settings->Owner Information. (also cases must match) The problem that sometimes occurs is that there may be some extra spaces left after the name or in the middle on initial entering of the name information, this can cause an incorrect calculation of the registration key.

How can I install software from my Mac?
If we dont deliver a .cab but an .exe file then the software needs to be installed from a PC. Sometimes there is no CAB file available for this software simply because it not possible to carry out advanced operations without entering the protected areas to apply tweaks.
SOLUTION: Install such software from someones PC.

Software says "You need to have your device application-unlocked. What to do?
In order to be able to install the software, the phone must be application unlocked.

SOLUTION: We suggest that you ask your operator to application unlock your phone, that way you will be able to install all suitable software that you find on the Net.

If you are unable to do this, then the following links may be of some help.

What is this?
SmartLocate is a real-time tracking application. It runs on your phone and and uploads the phone's position to our web site.
Top


How do I signup up for an account?

You need to install SmartDeviceManager first. Signup takes place in the phone's web browser. When SmartDeviceManager is run for the first time, it should open the web browser for registration. If this does not happen see the troubleshooting page.

Top


Why would you want to track your phone's location?

SmartLocate was developed to show users the possible benefit of Location and Tracking applications. It can be used to track your children or your families older persons. You can easily make a drivers logbook, etc.

Top


How much does SmartLocate cost?

There is no charge to use the SmartLocate application but your network operator may charge you for the data it transmits to the server. If you want additional features on the client or the server side we can add this capability to your account. This may cost some additional money.

Top


How do I keep data costs down?

Get a flat rate data plan! Each data package has a size which depends on the scan intervall. (One scan is only about 45 bytes, but if you scan every 10 seconds then this can be quite some data.)

Top


Does SmartLocate affect the battery life of the phone?

Yes, when tracking is enabled and each time data is sent to our server. The software has an intelligent GPS scanning algorithm which switches GPS scanning off if it is not necessary. This saves battery.

Top


My privacy concerns!

Your trail is public so that everybody can see it. However you can use a "pseudonym" for this application so nobody - only the ones you tell - know who this is. It will also be possible to choose if you want to be public or not.

Top


How can I improve the performance of the GPS?

Use Device software update to install the latest firmware to your phone. Early Symbian firmware versions, for example, did not support A-GPS which improves GPS performance.

Top


Can I associate several phones with one account?

Yes, when you install SmartDeviceManager on the second phone use the same user name and password that you created when you installed SmartDeviceManager on the first phone. This phone will also be associated with your account and you will be able to see it on the "Our map" link.

Top


There is no location information available but I have the software installed on my phone
If your software is installed and you canot see anything by clicking on "SmartLocate - My map" then please check on your phone:

  • Click on SmartDevMgr
  • See if "GPS: OK" (If not, please make sure that you move outside of the house to get a GPS signal. The first time this may take more than 30 minutes)
  • See if "Transfer: OK" (If not, click on Options - Settings - Internet access. Then select an appropriate Internet Access Point. about 10 sec after this selection the software tries to transfer data from your phone to the Jooping server. If this was OK then it says: Transfer: OK
