[Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

CUE is a location based reminder application for Nokia phones. CUE helps you to remind you of "things to do" you need to do based on your current location. Did you forget to pick something up on your last trip to the market? Just set a reminder, and the next time you're near the market, CUE will remind you that you need to stop there, and why!

It uses cellid based positioning to reduce power consumption. Here's a short demo video http://youtu.be/-7b8A9bg-RE

Might come in handy, thank you.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Thanks! that could be very useful for me :)
...but for any reason it closes the window before the UI shows up. (window opens without buttons etc. and then just coses)

ist there something else i should install?
what can i do to give you more detailed information?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Thanks for this new application, let me suggest you, however, to upload it to the repositories so it will be more accessible to other users.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

That's weird. Couple of things you should check:
- you are running PR1.3 (I updated the original post)
- Install the new version.
- Run it from xterm and capture the logs.Thanks.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Thanks for your feedback. The software is initial version - a quick weekend hack. Once it's stable and there's enough usage in the community, I'll think about uploading it to extras.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

It wont work with cssu and power kernel.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Not sure about CSSU but I do have power kernel installed. More importantly, why do you think it won't work?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

i've installed the new version but in Terminal it says:

if thats true, it's the reason it doesn't work for me. I have installed latest CSSU and kernel-power-49.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

I've kernel-power 42 and qt mobility 1.2 http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=106 installed. Hope this helps.

Uploaded to extras devel repo

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

how do i add a location?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Damn, I was working on basically just this app...

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

i tried adding my house location and it turned up somewhere in Russia haha while I am in Philippines.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Blame it on Google :) - the app uses it to find the location co-ordinates. Provide sufficient info so that unique location result is returned.

BTW what was the location string you were searching for? I can use that to see if there's a defect in the way lookup is done by the app.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Are there typos in that code?
How about
I am using CSSU-testing, & Cue invoked from the icon brouught up a blank loading screen with Cue and a whirly in the title bar, then crashed back to the desktop.

When I tried to start it in XTerminal with
Xterminal froze and had to be shut down.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

instead of using google to do search, is it possible to just let the user add his current location based on the cell tower id?

example: i want this app to set off an alarm when im 100 meters away from the office. i sleep at the car on the way to work so when im near the alarm will just go off. in this case il add my office place (my current location).

yeah? :)

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

There is an app RIP in the repos. You could have a look at the code. It uses cell towers to set the alarm

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Update:

After it disappears back to the desktop (or task manager or whatever was previously behind it), the application appears after about 20 minutes. During this intervening time, the phone gets noticeably warm.

After it appeared, I entered a task, & when I selected Save, cue once again froze without changing the screen. I forcibly ended Cue via the task manager, then started Cue again. Once again on startup, it started to load, then disappeared back to the desktop, but after about 20 minutes of heating the phone, Cue's interface appeared showing the added task.

It would be interesting to know what it is hanging on, why its interface disappears, & what it is doing for the intervening 20 minutes or so that heats the phone.

I am assuming that the main Cue interface must be running in order to make a location alert? That is, it does not stay resident when the interface is closed, & invisibly waits to make an alert when a location is reached?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

after having some problems with the first two versions from this thread i installed the current one from the repos and now it runs fine for me :)

I tested it at several different locations today and it worked everytime. I really like this kind of location-based reminder. Well done thank you!

... i think i found two little bugs:
if the entered location is not found i have to reopen the "Edit Task" popup for entering a new location. otherwise it will always say "Location not found Try again" no matter what you enter.
And the date related properties are either not saved or not loaded (not sure) so if i open a saved task the default values are shown.


Some cool features you could add in future versions:

- a background deamon that kicks off the alarm without applicationwindow running :D

- an option to choose different alarm-modes like notification-banner, vibration only, notification-led, own script...

- a grafical location picker wich shows radius on a map :cool:

i dont want this to sound demanding ..but i couldn't resist posting those ideas :p

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Somebody posted earlier on this thread that CSSU is incompatible with QTM1.2. That might be source of your problems.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

A new version has been uploaded to repository adding options to choose current location and choose location from map.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

does it need internet connection to work? should the app be running or opened for a scheduled task to work?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Internet connection is required to use this app. The app must be running for alerts.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

thx for this nice prog. what about adding a function for running scripts? with this future program can 9for example) turn on wifi when you came home!it would be nice)

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

v0.0.5 is in repository now. New features include:
- Specify a command to execute
- Cache cellid info so that in normal usage no network connection is necessary.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

is the icon still the same? a different icon would be good. yellow and aqua is not really working.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Hmm.. I'm not much of an UI guy. If you have some idea floating in your mind, send it across and I might consider it for the app.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Have you seen the application Maemo Profiler?. You might want to share ideas or efforts with it's author.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

I did not see RIP in the repos. Do you have a link?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

I'm all late but this thing will not pop up the map for map function and I don't see the GPS activate so I don't know how it knows where I am. It failed to alert a test I did.

No CSSU here. Apt-get said I had libQTM 12 already.

Broken or what?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Make sure you start internet connection before using the app.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Constant internet connection here.
the app clearly has no clue where I am located. Map does not show up. Does not resolve "here". Even with the GPS activated it has no clue.

I noticed that the appointment that shows up ion the calendar shows no alarm set.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Can you post the output after running the app from command line?

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Don't forget to do that thing you were going to do here!
When was I made the world's PA? I don't think I can handle this burden.

On a serious note, this is an awesome app. Nice work atamariya.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Sorry for the delay. I was away on vacation.

I believe the line of interest is this:

setting model
cell id changed
40.8969 4220.9
current position is qGeoCoordinate (?,?)0
select: true
3
true

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Bump.Still no location in this app. other programs are getting location data just fine.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Now I get the map. But it thinks I'm in the North Pole (that's where the pin is). Claims proximusUI does not exist.

Re: [Announce] CUE - Location based reminder for N900
 

Just to let you know I'm not working on this app anymore - so won't be able to extend any further help.
