    Some very good and well meaning technical info which had it been a little less cluttered with random thoughts would have made a great video, however you need to streamline and process your thoughts better, before putting them to video, because unfortunately by the time everyone has worked out what you meant to say to protect their property they would have fallen asleep and their vehicles would’ve been stolen.

    My tk905 can't wake up from sleep after a few days. Always replay with 'this number canot be each at this time, try again'. What the point having big battery if cant use at all.
    Now i have to call the tracker every 12 hours to make sure tracker still working.

  • @chrismartin8103
    @chrismartin8103 6 років тому

    I think the issue with the IMEI number expiring has been fixed. I just recently purchased a TK906 bike tracker and the IMEI expiration was set to 200 years from today. So, I don't think this should happen on new devices and you don't need to pay for extending it. Just check the site as mentioned in this video to verify. Although the App does show it as well in the Device info section.

    • @Poraqui
      @Poraqui 5 років тому +2

      Your GPS has sleep modes. One by time and another by not registering any movement.
      For you to access the web app or the phone app, you need to first wake up the tracker with an SMS or a call. Example: text command to check status or location. After you've woken up the device with an sms\call and if the GPRS mode is on and well configured (APN, etc), only then you can use the App.
      If you want the tracker always active, you have to inactivate sleep mode. On mine, and because I didn't change the original password, is: sleep123456 off

    My device keeps saying device not enabled when I look in the app updates. I don't think I set up the APN correctly. I followed their commands (i.e. gprs123456, apn123456 content) but I can't tell if I'm supposed to have found some special APN number that I should be writing in place of "content." Can someone walk me through how to get the APN so I can get the app to work? Thanks.

  • @gerry941
    @gerry941 4 роки тому +3

    What an awful disjointed video. So here's some advice for YOU Edmund Ironside.
    First - write a script - at the beginning state what you are going to talk about - structure the script in sections and at the beginning of each, give it an "in vision" title. - Do not jump to the next section randomly.
    Two prime examples: The APN; say concisely what it means, why the device's sim needs it - then how to set up a VPN - then go onto its communication abilities.
    2nd example, before talking about the TK Star website, give the viewer it's URL (we're not interested in how you lost your imei etc). Then say it requires payment and then what are it's capabilities.
    There's much more I could add but basically you have a lot of useful info here - but it needs structuring! And finally, stop fiddling with the sim with your hands - its distracting! Only handle something if it is going to form part of your presentation

    Hmmm. so I just bought a smaller TKSTAR the TK1000 off amazon loaded a new data filled giffgaff sim, all working confirmed 4g data on my iPhone, setup all the APN stuff confirmed working with the final Check123456 sms and it reported back all ok with the same IMEI number as on the back of the device. However the TKstar IOS app will not let it log in and it says "IME/ID or password error??? Now passoword is 123456 as per instructions and my IME/ID is 4109 xxxxxxxx as confimed by the Check123456 sms report back as APN working.
    Could it be that this brand new purchase off Amazon already has a 1 year expired IME/ID number and I need to pay the $10 lifetime fee? I could understand getting into the app and nothing working but I cant even log into the app at this point. have they changed the server? My instructions say to use 2.tkstargps.net as the server web address. This is also the case trying to log into the website page too, says IME/ID is wrong?

To use the tracker to get a location is dependant on having a SIM with credit for sending the text and if you are using GPRS (for a more accurate location) then you would need data or a bolt on when required.

Maybe worth leaving it out but powered for a bit to see what happens - that would tell you if it's an issue with the tracker or an issue with where it is hidden.
