If pOutlook.exe is active, you can't install the last version, because the PPCContactsMgr.dll is locked by the process.

So kill poutlook.exe process, and just overwrite the PPCContactsMgr.dll (v1.5) by the new one (v1.6), and it should work.

I provided a cab file for easy installation.

The regfile and the dll are for the guys who build their own roms or when you have to update the existing one.

Hi,

Me again.... well the select all>beam all worked wonderfully! Got all the contacts beamed over onto the navigation unit.

One major issue I found was that all my contacts are in catagory. If i chose "family" for instance,then used your select all, and then beam... It would beam over the top lot in whatever catagory and not those selected within the catagory.

For eg:

If Andrew, Alan and Bob and Ben were at the top when all contacts display,

and I chose Family that consisted of Alan and Ben....

I would see Alan and Ben, I would then use your select all function, and beam all... but when the next screenpops up, you would see that infact Andrew and Alan were chosen because they were the top of the list.

I hope this makes sense!

Other than having all my contacts on the system being surname first then first name, it was great. I think the name swap is because of the phone compatibility rather than the phone book bit.

Thanks :)

is it possible to make your app open in a new context menu? because the screen is becoming a bit crowded ,when you also got other apps installed.as always outstandig work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] a-h-t1:
finally i managed to make it work thanx to you fred and your taskman ,

but here's my feedback ,

some contacts are not copied to the SIM and that might be bcoz some numbers are stored as FAX numbers , just to let you know .

thats all , you know what ? you should start taking some $$ for your outstanding work mate , why not let the people donate with few bucks as an appreciation for your hard work ?

sorry if i was rude or caused any troubles

how do i install this program to my ppc? im sorry if im coming off sounding really dumb
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shantzg001:
@fred: I love the app but there is a small problem(maybe major for some). If there are multiple contacts with same name in your address book, then this app only backs up one of those and not both contacts, e.g. I had two ppl named as "x" in my contacts, first one has number "123456" and second has "654321" then it backs up only the one with number "123456" and the second one is lost...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluecream4:
.Fred

Thank you so much ... ''

You're my inspirative developer
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dotfred:
Hi shantzg001,

In fact, this is not true, if you create two contacts with the same name, they will be backed up both correctly. The problem is the restore. Because there is no way to differentiate both contacts, during the restore process, the first one is inserted in the db and the second one will update the first because the contact already exists in the db. There is absolutely no way to know if it is the same or a new one. So if I take your problem into account, I will loose two functionalities of the program which are updating an existing contact and add only new contacts. I think it is preferable if you can add an extra info for contacts with the same name, for instance "x" and "x (y)".

Cheers,

oh, i never thought of it that way..thnx for the reply .fred...

I had the problem because i had to switched to wizard from an old samsung c100 and had migrated my contacts from there to wizard automatically and in samsung i had to create diff contacts with same name to store diff contacts as there was also a word limit on the phone for contact names...

ANyways, what i wrote just above seems to have become to wooly as now even i can't understand what i wrote :)..

thnx for the great app, i took some time to merge all my "same name" contacts and the app is good to go for me... :)

any chance to get this great app restore contacts to WM6 crossbow ?

thanx in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gnuzilla:
I have downloaded and ran the cab. Even the installing said that it's not compatible with my system (Windows Mobiles 2003 SE), I choose Yes anyway. After installed, there is no new in my Contacts menu.

So I wonder is it for only Windows 2005??? I found no information related to requirement systems.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dotfred:
Hi a-h-t1,

I made a test of PPCBckpContacts on the emulator of Windows Mobile 2006 and it works, so I don't know what the problem could be?

.Fred
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dotfred:
Sorry you're right, I checked the first post and I didn't mention anything about on which system it should be installed.

The answer is yes, it is designed for WM2005, because we lost the functionality of selecting/deleting multiple contacts at once.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Shaggy:
I have a G3 Prophet running WM6 and can confirm that it works PPCContactsMgr V1.6 works.

My issue has been with beaming contacts through BT. However many contacts I select, only a limited number of contacts appear in the "beam" list.

I have tried it with everything off and over 19MB of free memory available. I can do the same successfully with PI installed.

Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bdaher:
Thanx A Lot
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dotfred:
The problem of PPCContactsMgr is that it works only if you don't use a filter.

I don't know how they implemented the Contacts list, but obviously it is an owner drawn one. So the linked data is not accessible. So if you use the complete list and you select only the contacts you want to be beamed (with CTRL key kept down), then it will work, but with a filter it simply can't.

Cheers,

Ok fine, if the cab file doesn't work, then we will do it the hard way.;)

Look at the screenshot I provided in my previous post.

As you can see, there is a .dll file and a .reg file.

1) copy the .dll file on your pocket pc in \Windows directory (this is mandatory)

2) copy the .reg file somewhere on your pocket pc, and install it with any registry editor you have. For instance Resco explorer with registry addon, total commander or my Task manager.

3) When done, do a soft reset, then after reboot launch contacts outlook

Within Pocket Informant, there is a context menu that should take over the default Outlook Mobile context menu (it does take over the MobileNavigator, Skype, Save as First name last name, etc context menus). But after installing PPCContactsMgr 1.6 I only see the 'Select All Contacts' and the 'Delete Selected Contacts' menu from your tool, but the other options are not available. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spydera:
Not workin

This is not working on my HTC Touch Phone. I see the menus. It selects. But I cannot delete all contacts

Maybe because some are on SIM and others are on Addressbook?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spydera:
Works Now

Further to my earlier posting, I found the reason why delete all contacts was not working.... :o

There was one SIM contact in the list. I deleted that and it worked like a breeze... :cool:

Maybe thats another task for the next version?

Delete Outlook Contacts

Delete Sim Contacts

Delete All Contacts

Hi,

Use the program on an HTC P4350. Instalation works fine but.

The only way to select multiple contacts is to drag in the contact screen? Or is there an option : "Select all", in the menu?

Because i want to beam al my contacts to my navigationsystem but they only send the first contact selected.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for the help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dotfred:
Normally if the installation went well, you should have a Select All in the menu and the possibility to beam them as well.

ppccontactsmgr 1.6

dear dotfred,

it's a very useful application indeed.

what I can't perform on my HTC P3600 is beaming all selected contacts via BT to the BT car hands free.

It works only sending one by one by the already existing feature. When trying to beam selected items the device seems to stop at the first while I can read for example "sending 1/10" or whatever, but never comes into next "sending 2/10" and so on.

Can you help?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jiggs:
Hi dotFred,

I don't know if this has been reported before.

I have tested this to work on Quanta Atom devices with WM6; however, here is an issue: If I use an app that really close apps like spb pocket plus, pbar, magic button, etc., this would kill the contacts process outright. The problem arises when you close the app three times. The contacts (poutlook.exe) freezes on third or fourth open. It took me quite some time to figure out the incompatibility :D because it was functioning normally: beaming, multiple selection, SIM export, etc.

So, when I decided to remove it, contacts now can open and close as many times. Of course, we wouldn't have this problem if we didn't use an app closer.

Today, I'm looking to convert these .xls file or .csv file to my HTC Diamond Contacts.

1) Do PPCContactsMgr can do the job? If so, how do i proceed?

2) BTW, What Diamond Contacts file type is? Can be edited?

Now, can you make an extension for the calendar which allows me to transfer only certain appointments to my wife's calendar? It can even be a seperate app. I don't mind. :-)

For example I would love to be able to transfer the kid's doctor appointments to my wife's phone.

P.S. I know it can be done because my wife tried and returned a Motorola Q which had an app to do just that (wish I had swiped that app before she returned it).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mabco:
Great work! Thanks for the added functionality.

I was asked before if windows mobile can mimic the Nokia way of writing an sms since most people are use to it and want that when they want to switch to windows mobile.

Meaning to write an sms you would:

1. start a new empty message.

2. write body of message.

3. choose contact from contact list, call history, or sms senders.

Now, if you can add "From Call History" and "From SMS" and perhaps "From Contacts" as well in the Outlook new sms menu that will simulate that functionality since after writing the message body, you can then directly add a recipient from history, sms, contacts.

ActiveSync problem after PPCContactsMgr v1.6 install

Hi,

I just installed PPCContactsMgr v1.6 on my WM6 (HTC P6500) device. It installed without a hitch and I managed to delete all my contacts. But now when I try to resync to upload new contacts from my PC I get an error (Support code: 0x86000107) and none of the new contacts are transferred. I've tried rebooting both the smartphone and the PC. I've also tried to reinstalling PPCContactsMgr but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Bamse1
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dotfred:
Hi Bamse1,

I think the problem is coming from ActiveSync. First remove the contacts synchronization in ActiveSync on your pc and do a sync., then reenable the contacts sync and synchronize again. If it still doesn't work, delete the partnership between your pc and device in Activesync and create a new one, this should fix the problem. If it still doesn't work, download PimBackup, export your contacts on your pc to a .CSV file, rename it to .CSC, copy it on your device and import it with Pim Backup.

I hope it helps...

Fred.
