Hello Niko and Dave...so does the 4.3 reading...mean his batteries are low?

I would be sure I had a spare set handy, but I have run them down below 4 volts without a problem. YMMV of course  :wink:

Hello Dave,

from what I gather from Niko's Reply...I would replace them.

Niko did say that he has ran his below 4 volt's, and had no problems, BUT consider this....If you were to have a power Outage in your area/home, and forgot that your batteries were already Low, and then they go completely dead before your Power comes back on, it will be too late to do it then.

and wouldn't you also lose the data on the logger if the batteries go completely dead?

Hi

Long time - and finally got my new WAP page working.

I would be happy if someone would help me test it on their mobile phones:

www.buskelundtoften.dk/vejret/english/wap/wapindex.php (include links to graphics and forecast wap pages too)

Let me know what you think.

Best regards,

Henrik

Henrik,

Just tried your page and it looks great. Just for your info I use an AT&T Tilt with HSDPA/GSM service, it loaded in about four seconds and the graphics are even better. I have mine working too (http://www.branfordfire.com/weather/wapindex.php) but without those great graphics, looks like something to play with!

Nice work!

Jack

Can't say how it looks on a phone but looks very good with wml plug-in for FireFox.  Everything looks and works well.

Very nice.

Until I get around to making an adaptation of that script I discovered I can use the ajax-sidebar page that I just got done.  It shows up pretty well.  Strange, huh?

Hello all,

I have had my WAP Page silently running for a few months now, basically I figure I am the only one that will ever view it so I didnt add a visible link to it on my website.....whats that james bond movie?..."For your eyes only"...Lol

Using Jims script, and at the bottom I like the console data..showing indoor temp/humidity, along with console reception and battery strenth

Then on my graphics page added the radar, forecast and webcam image(updated every 5 minutes)

so anytime while at work/on the road etc. etc....it is nice to be able to view this, along with the current conditions/high gusts etc. etc.

for your eyes too...it can be seen here:

http://www.gateway2capecod.com/wapindex.php


I would imagine using the ajax-sidebar.php would also make a nice WAP Page

good evening all...Chris

You are probably right Chris but with the recent proliferation of the "iphone" etc maybe people will be looking for a wap site in their area. Besides like you have already done it's fun to play with! I guess the question would be does anybody do a search for "wap weather"? Anyways I'm glad the subject has bee revisited it is a cool script, thanks Jim!!!

I'm a little confused. Are we talking about true WAP/WML, or cell-phone-sized html pages?

My cell/PDA pages are straight html, or php-generated HTML, and they show up fine on my Verizon Moto E815 phone and Dell Axim. About the only problems I have found are:

1) The phone doesn't display PNGs. A little PHP to convert my PNGs to JPGs fixes that, and it's probably not a WML vs: HTML problem. (Xtide and findu.com APRS CGIs make PNGs, so I have to convert them.)

2) URLs are a PITA to enter and save on the phone. Again, not a WML vs: HTML problem. I dealt with that by creating a SLOweather phone portal, save that URL on the phone, and then edit that portal page to add any links I want to see on my phone.

They also seem to work OK on ATT/Cingular/iPhones. I see a lot of mycingular in my stats, and I've seen it displayed on an iPhone.

Now, if I could only figure out how to make my SLOWeather cell page my phone's home page, I'd have it made.

Dunno for sure right now about T-mobile, but I think I've seen it in the stats before. I'll have to check.

Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">Is what the wapindex, wapgrahics, and wapforecast uses but it appears it might be easy to get the ajax-sidebar up and running quickly.

With my phone (not sure if this will help) you would first pull up the desired page, then hit "menu" then "tools" then "options". This brings up the familiar "home Page......Use Current.....Use Default Page"

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Jack

Here is a link for you slowweather, on how to possibly change your homepage on your mote815. if your unfamiliar with what they are suggesting and have not done hexediting or used bitpim before, then perhaps it is just best to not attempt to change your homepage, but if you would like to have a look anyways...here is the link:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=697315&highlight=Moto+E815+homepage


Howard forums is a great place to get any kind of help for whatever cell phone you may own, But use Caution when using hexediting and bitpim on your phone files, because if you dont back up the original files and screw up whatever you edited...your phone could go out of commsiion and need a reflashing of the firmware that it originally came with when new
