Researchers at India's Anna University of Technology in Tamilnadu have developed a way to prevent those behind the wheel of a vehicle from making/taking calls or texting. By blocking the signals to and from a mobile phone used by the driver of a vehicle, it prevents the driver from losing focus on his task. The hard part in developing the system say those working on it, is blocking the driver's phone from working while still allowing passengers in the vehicle to use their device.
The system detects if the driver is using the phone while the vehicle is in motion. If so, a mobile jammer blocks the radio waves from getting to the driver's phone. To get around the problem with the passenger's devices, the jammer has a low range which should allow others in the vehicle to use their phone.

Great concept but I'd much rather see Bluetooth being enforced.
1. Driver must enable Bluetooth in order to make calls while driving.
2. Use the built-in GPS to tell if the vehicle is traveling faster than 10MPH.
3. Once the vehicle is in motion, Bluetooth cannot be enabled unless the driver finds a safe place to pull over.
4. Using simple commands via Bluetooth the driver can make calls and text messages. "Call John" "Text John"
5. The phone will read text messages through the Bluetooth so that the driver cannot try grabbing the phone to read them. Whether it be a Bluetooth headset or built-in Bluetooth in the vehicles sound system.
Then we will have a safer road for everyone.

I'm guessing this requires some kind of hardware in the car that creates a bubble around the driving area (not exactly like the picture) ?
Otherwise, it seems too impractical and voluntary to be worth anything.
in my country every drivers used phone while driving tsk tsk tsk..

For all you genius software / hardware hackers on the board: Is it possible to write a program that will "pick up" the GPS data from and then feed that data to the USB port (or BT) in a standard GPS data stream, so that the Mogul can be utilized as an external GPS for a laptop? Since one of the GPS configuration options is to "Allow Windows to manage GPS", and doing so allows multiple programs to access the data simultaneously (i.e. Google Maps and TeleNav) it would seem to me that it's possible to write a piece of software that can request the GPS data from WM and then open the USB port and stream the data out. Having GPS on the Mogul itself is great, but it would be even more valuable if it could be tethered as an external GPS device. Any programmers want to take a stab at this?
I'd also like to see this happen, ideally over bluetooth.
Looks like there is an API for GPS, and some information out there on how to utilize it. See http://www.codeplex.com/gpstracker for a project that collects GPS data from an internal or external GPS and then uploads the data to a server. Seems like a simple enough matter to do the same thing but redirect to USB instead of upload to server. Maybe the code for this project would be a good jumping off point. Also, the "Embedded Windows Mobile GPS" forum at mobilitytoday.com might be a good resource.
Check out GpsGate , it can redirect gps port to different port like tcp,udp,bluetooth,activesyn (could be this). You have to test it out to see whether it work.
Also checkout the free GPS2Blue.
From the webpage:
This GPS-PDA utility has several features. It transforms your PocketPC into an external bluetooth GPS receiver, allowing you to use it with your laptop PC or any other device which can use a bluetooth GPS. Since version 1.4, GPS2Blue also allows to redirect GPS data to a TCP/IP port. It can also log to a file the data received from the GPS. Another feature is the PDA clock adjustment based on the precise GPS satellites clock. Finally, for Tomtom 5 (or 6) users, you can create a new POI from coordinates.

I just managed to get this going with my Kaiser over TCPIP using GPS2Blue & HW VSP. MS Streets & Trips 2008 sees it as a GPS and reads the data. Pretty cool...

[*UPDATED*] How to the PPC as an External GPS Receiver for a Laptop
Great App..but unfortunately for me..not working unless I'm on Wifi..Anybody else have this problem? I haven't really had time to mess with it..but reminds me of At&t mobile video..streams tv..but most of them only clips. With a netflix account..start your instant queue, browse genres, or browse new arrivals..going through genres and new arrivals seemed a lil difficult..for me anyway..wish there was a search feature within the app..quality of the streaming is based on your internet connection which is great..would be greater if it worked with my mobile internet instead of only my home internet. I'm continuing to test this app as I write this........well..this sucks..netflix doesn't want to stream for me..94%...98%..displays poster..&asks me to push play. This app working for anyone?..Is there something I didn't read about..Gonna try this on my cappy.

I have it working intranet and internet. Did you open the port on your router to forward to your server.
Seems like a cool idea, but I set it up on the Wii for my hoodlums and it lagged some. Not bad program, but not knocking me dead to have it either.

Works fine for me just fine. This is probably something you should take up with PlayOn support and not in the Atrix forums.

I would tend to agree. Also configuring your router correctly and testing over wifi at a friend's house would take ATT out of the mix.

Hello guys
I started this thread to warn u about loopholes in whatsapp messenger!!!
With about 10000000+ downloads(from play store) it is one of the best cross-platform messenger.
But back MAY 2011 (about a year back) it was found that whatsapp actually sends all the details in PLAIN TEXT.
Whatsapp developed said they are working on this issue but it hasn't been solved!!!
Earlier it wasn't easy to sniff ur whatsapp conversation as it required knowledge of packet sniffing.
But now there is an app in play store to do it!!!
Yes u read it right !!!
The only reason i posted this thing here is because it's very easy to sniff conversation using that app.
DON'T BELIEVE ME???
Try this app from play store.
UPDATE
Sniffer app is taken down by the play store
hopefully whatsapp developers will now update the app!!!
Tested it worked O.O
I read my sisters Convo :O
Needs to be fixed~
tested with my bro's droid, it works -.-
suggesting an uninstall, or just dont use it for now
free version for three talks only and dont delete it
Damn we don't have wifi here :/ otherwise useful app
good job!!!!!!
Guys dats d reason i posted it here
WHATSAPP GUYS KNOW THIS FROM A YEAR!!!
I WONDER WHY THEY AIN'T FIXING IT.
I use packed sniffing methods on my coll WiFi since months
But this app is damm userfriendly and even a noob can use it.
If possible don't use whatsapp on public WiFi n/w.
i search this aplication and i search donate version, really function, whatsapp sniffer is the app
does it only work with WIFI network,, wont it work on Cellular network
Will work on shared n/w i.e. WiFi only
Application has been removed from play store.. Can any one who had tested upload here
Sent from my MT11i using XDA
Glad to hear it only works on WIFI as I don't use WIFI anywhere but at home. But I can't believe they've just been sitting on this for a year. And apparently they have or had other security issues that were handled in questionable ways. Hope all this coverage gains traction and they are forced to address this.
Plain Text?
Hi,
I've tried it between my two android devices and sniffed the network traffic with Wireshark (sent a text message in WA). Here is a screenshot where you can see that the whole network traffic was in ssl packets (except the ACK's). I haven't tried the WA sniffer yet but my suggest is that it uses man in the middle attack and if the Whatsapp doesn't verify the SSL certificate the sniffer device can scam with it.

Hey guys,
I'm not sure how to describe this, but windows or my prime are screwed up when it comes to viewing my sdcard on my win7 machine via MTP. Everything is fine on my prime when I use ES to check it out, but this looks really screwed up when I use my PC. Any ideas?

Instead of connecting the prime to your comp, use the webstorage to transfer files or use an external sd card. I find that to speed transfer exponentially while also providing manageability and ease of use. Personally, I think asus f'd up with the computer connection thing and they should've stuck with the stock android connector port which seems to provide greater speed.

Thanks for the response, but its actually that way in the android system to allow the SD card to be used simultaneously for data transfer and from the device itself. This is also a limitation of the data structure used.

Many of the suggestions I've ran across so far were for local wifi streaming. Im looking to be able to watch something stored on my pc with my N4 away from home via mobile network. I have an unthrottled data plan, so nothing is overkill.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Any ideas?

Ok I figured it out, and feel silly that it was under my nose this whole time. I hate when people figure out a problem without sharing the solution so I'll share for anybody with the same question in the future.
1. Download the Plex server (Plex for connected TVs and streaming devices): https://www.plex.tv/downloads
2. Invest $4.99 (well worth it) into the Plex app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexapp.android
3. Setup the Plex server on your computer and enable the myPlex server. (see attachment)
Your app should discover your computer as if you're connected on the same network.

I never implied that you weren't going to share it, so my apologies if my wording seemed directed at you. My "not sharing" comment was directed to people that fix a problem they have without sharing a solution after the fact. By all means, I'd love to hear your method!
Other methods I ran across were a bit wonky. Plex offers the ability to change the bitrate of the videos I'm streaming, which was a major plus for me. The five bucks was well worth it. (having a gift card balance left over didn't hurt either.)
