Problem on Toshiba G900

Hi, nice app...

It works ok on my HTC Wizard, but on my Toshiba G900 (800 * 480) all works ok, except that when tap on a contact, the summary tab for the selected contact is showed empty.

Also, screen rotation does not work correctly.

I am at your service to test anything you want...

Keep working...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
just to say again, this app rocks...

Hi everyone

New to this site and have been reading with interest at your comments and the development of this app. Look forward to the final outcome.

Best i've seen to date

I personally like this no matter if there is flaws....i didnt see any i love that you get to use 2 fingers to get to different letters in your phonebook. It's awesome and i like the black better than the white....it was toooo entry level. This is way more iPhone and that's what we all are wanting. I have used a mixture of all the best apps and made a replica basically of the iphone.

2 pages of navigating icons

iphone dialpad

iphone calc

youtube access

slide 2 unlock (not in military time)

and the keypad

use google maps and not live search

iContact to replace the "contacts" in Menu for Palm 700wx

For those who would like the iContact GREAT app to replace windows "Contacts" that is in the Palm 700wx menu (on the today screen), here is a reg tweak:

(as always make sure to backup prior to registry editing.)

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS and change "String 1" value from :MSPOUTLOOK contacts to "\Program Files\iContact.exe".

Make sure that you add the "" on the new entry.

Note it will still not replace the "Contacts" from the menu when you are on a call, or writing a text.

Hi Larna, what a wonderfull application. It works fine on my HTC P3300.

I've try different "finger scroll apps" an that's the best one. Small in Kb and great in work, just a must have! Congratulations!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gjw:
Same on my X51v (WM6).

V0.2 works fine.

V0.3 runs and scrolls perfectly but it shows empty contact when the contact is opened.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] finthamoussu:
The same problem was reported by me on my Toshiba G900 (WM6 Too), but no solution yet...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
I can second (or third) this on my X51v with stock ROM (WM5). v0.2 contact page comes up with all data ... v0.3, contact screen comes up but summary tab is blank (notes tab does have data).

I like the new features in v0.3 ... can you please fix?! :)

EDIT: Also, I noticed that the app does not display any name in the start bar using Wisbar Adv, and also doesn't show in the running task list of Wisbar or the Windows Running Programs list. Strange
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
I made the app to be stealth, so that no PoketVirus can infect it. Also, if your device is infected with one of mentioned PocketViruses, iContact will hide your contact details so that PocketVirus can't steal them.

Or you can say that those two "features" are bugs... And they will be fixed in the future releases.

"Somewhere in the not so distant future i see a bugfix release..."

:)

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kona_Mtbkr:
No prob larna ... I wasn't even saying that they were bugs ... just pointing it out because it was different from v0.2, and I was trying to provide you as much info as I could about how v0.3 reacts on my X51v, in case anything was useful to you. Trust me ... I know how difficult it can be to debug a problem that you can't personally recreate on your own machine.

I'll look forward to a "not so distant bugfix release", and in the meantime ... I'll try v0.3 on my 8925.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Duckszone:
I think I'm just a technical idiot... :) Does not work for me...I just call the .exe direclty, and nothing happens...well, the first time, i got a black screen but no contacts...and since then, nothing happens anymore when I run the application.

any ideas? did I do something wrong with the installation?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Saavik256:
In order for this to work properly (e.g. display contacts) you need to have some contacts stored in your contact book. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 32str8:
I am running an HTC wizard with WM6 rom. V0.3 scrolls up and down properly but only up to the letter C. I know that this is due to the character lengths of my contact names but should this also prevent the contacts that are currently displayed from opening? Is it an all or nothing scenario because I can't open any of the contacts that are presently showing? At the moment it looks like a great app but I can't use it due to the character length issue. VO.2 works great but with about 600 contacts I need a quick way to get to the end of the alphabet. Is the little dot on the right side of the screen suppose to allow you to quickly scroll up and down because I can't get it to work and scrolling through this many contacts takes to long. Can't wait for the V0.3 update. Keep up the good work because although there are other similar apps out there V0.3 is a nice light app with everything you really need.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] HTCMDA:
how can i change the color from black, to Blue with white names?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Duckszone:
lol....thanks, I have a lot of contacts in my contact book :) But when I start it, I see the top row from windows (windows sign, start, and the X at the right end), and I can't see click anything else. It freezes, until I press X and close it again...

Do I have to save it in a specific location? had it under /my Documents and /Programs, and it did not work either. Or may it be a problem with the language, I use a german Windows-version...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pctuner:
Suggestion

While the contact list is flowing and you stop it with your finger it stops abruptly. Can you make it bungee jump a little (maybe 2 or 3 pixels) up and down?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littld:
Perfect, More please!!

I just wanted to say I think iContact is pretty much perfect. Small, fast, doesn't try to take over contacts, just gets you to them quicker. The new way to select a letter from the alphabet is just stunning.

Can we have some more great software please? I'd love an iMusic showing music by artist, or album. Then when I select the song it opens up in Media Player just like it should. What are the chances?

Anyway, thanks for the great app.

I don''t know if this has been covered already, but is there a cab file for icontact?

hi i can see all the contacts, when i click on 1 contact, the summary i blank.. only white screen...

why??

Pretty, pretty please with sugar on it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxjuicymintxx:
yeah I agree. even a bugfix would be nice. this is one of the first apps I put on my phone. I have it as my right softkey.

only problem I've noticed is when I add a new contact in the default contact spot, it doesn't show up until I soft reset. would love a fix for that. also maybe just to add a contact from within icontact itself??

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dr J:
Just quoting my earlier post, i've recently done a hard reset (for other reasons, nothing to do with this lovely app ;) ) and found that the ABC list is actually working much better now, for some reason the touchflo doesn't seem nearly as sensitive whilst iContact is running, but still enough to open if you really want it.

just thought i'd mention it!

still love the app, thanks.

Active Sync after install??

I just installed ver. 3 and it ran well, and then suddenly my Active Sync began synching my Contacts again. Is this normal? And now when I click on Contacts nothing happens, any guidance?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
just try'd .3

is my first experience with this app..

i like it..

fast and clear.

but i dont think i will replace CM for it..

because i like it that CM does more then just show the contacts..

but i will keep it on my touch just because it like it:P

just one comment..

dont know if its been sayd before..

but when i want to use the ABC function.. and i slide up, the cube comes up..

so is very difficult to use..

Weird it synched and created duplicates, after installing this software, I had to manually delete the dupes, is this normal?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
i noticed that i cant close the app,

have to do it with Task manager

which is not a bigggg deal, but when i delete or change a contact person it does not update it..

have to close it with TM and start it again

and i get the impression that it eats memory?

(not sure yet.. still testing)

How do i install this app?...When i click on it to install it says cannot execute.

hey im new at this. can u tell me why when i click on the link to download iconacts i download a program which asks what to be opened with. it doesnt download a zip file?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] premkang:
If you right click on the link you should have an option to save the file, I think its "Download Link" or "Save Link as", sorry I can't be precise as I am currently working on Linux. Once saved, you should be able to unzip using XP's file manager.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] initial:
Memory leak?

Using the HTC 6800 Mogul.

I set the iContact.exe file to a button and everytime launch it and close it my memory usage increases slightly. I close the iContact by pushing end and open it again with the hard button and memory continues to increase. If I repeat this about 30 times my memory usage increases by 15% and remains that way until I soft reset.

How is this application running? does it remain open and spawn a new instance each time I launch it?

EDIT: ------------------------

I got a process explorer and closed the icontact.exe process and got all the lost memory back. I'm not a programmer but there is something wrong with this program. each time it's launched it eats up a bit more memory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] michd43:
Hey larna, as your aware. v0.3 has a memory leak (still a very good app.), so I went back to v0.1(been using since day one :) ) I was wondering if their is any updates coming out?

thanks and keep the good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Angelus-:
I dont post normally :) dunno why, but this app is really fantastic.

Tryed FunConact, but that takes about 4 second before i can even see whois in my Contact list, and PocketCM is good 2 but takes again alot longer than iContact to load, and somehow iContact looks better.

I know there are more futures on these apps i mentioned above. But then again, i only need the contact view to call or sms a person kinda fast instead of waiting to launch an app.

To shame v0.3 has indeed memory leaks, i still use it, only need to soft reset my device onces in a while. Not that big of a deal but it would be nice if there could be a bug fix for that :) (i dont count on it :P)

Great app mate.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Matariel:
Hi, ive been using icontact for a while, but its really dodgy to install, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

Recently I upgraded my ROM (WM6 OEM rom, not custom) and I cant remember how I installed icontact last time to get it to work properly.

Right now, when I open the app, it pops up like normal, but its just a black page with the ABC icon in the bottom corner. When you press the ABC icon it pops up a grid, which I assume is supposed to be holding the items in the menu, but theres nothing on them.

Is there anything icontact requires to work properly?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kpyto:
Thanks for a great program!

:( Bad only when contact name have more than 80 sumbols - than program "stopped" on this contact.

Is this bag will be fixed on 0.4 version?

Thanks for your work again! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] XShell:
BUG REPORT: The same thing with Russian language - if contact has "File As" length more then 30 simbols -> program stops and not responding. It's a great prog, fix it, please!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Hi guys and gals,

First of all, thx for your comments. They really mean a lot. :)

I didn't think that my simple application will generate that much interest. It's really very simple and maybe full of bugs, but the way i use it, bugs don't bother me.

I've read your requests and comments and must say i have some work to do. :) I allready did a few things, but i'm doing it pretty slowly. Mainly because i have day job that has nothing to do with pocketpc c win32 programming :)

So, i'll be fixing bugs and adding features, but don't expect too much too fast ;)

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ilion:
Thanks to you, you rules!

I agree the idea of double click to select the contact, the sensibility of scroll is big and double click may helps. Thanks again, we wait for your work...

best regards.

I don't like cross posting, but what a better way to get the message across with aye-Fone fans here than to post here.. and there probably. Anyway, anyone notice this?! THIS IS AWESOME! Original PPC software with sleek interface for the PIM. Refer to thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=302522

Look at the demo video! I wonder how aye-Fone PIM looks like.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Daring:
First let me say that this is a great idea. It is quite frankly already the easiest to use contact manager that I've used. I'm glad you'll be using file as although it seems as though the current app is using it at least for sorting now (I have an app that has FGH Corp with contact as Bill Wilson. It shows Bill Wilson, but sorted with the F's.) Also since I have many contacts for the same company if you could use file as but put the contact name as well ("FGH Corp (Wilson, Bill)" or something like that). Also, to echo the wish of others a filter of some sort would be great although I don't think it should be command line based as then it is difficult to switch on the fly.

Finally, since you have elected not to open source it (which I have no issue with at all, it is your IP), please at least consider that if you get overwhelmed with requests to include a small group to your efforts. I know there have been several personal projects that have died due my lack of time and I would hate to see this go that way.

Thanks again for your efforts!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kunz:
To set this app to your "Contacts" right softkey, edit (or create) this key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Key\113

Default: "Contacts"

Open: "\Program Files\Contacts.exe"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vsa:
Very nice tool! Small and fast :-) Great job!

A filter to show only categorized persons would be a very helpful option, because some people have more than 200 contacts in the database, but private persons ar about 40-50.... The browsing would be really faster. :-)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hdd123:
Nice one larna!

A question for the experts out there:

Would it be possible to turn this .exe file into a .cab file that it can be installed onto PPC as a 'Program'? I would love to use this GUI as an alternative link to contacts by say assigning a soft key. I understand that this .exe was originally written to emulate scrolling action on iPhone and would normally be used within iPhone GUI thats being developed by others. For normal contact editing, I would still use the MS Contacts in Programs.

Any thoughts?

hdd123
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] samy.3660:
@hdd123

You just need to create a shorcut for the exe in windows\startmenu\programs folder by using total commander, if u are using WM6 just click and hold the exe and u will get option like "send shortcut to programs" and u are done.

@ larna

can u make the OEM contact application to be able to scroll like your application that would be awesome.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
I agree that it would be awesome, and it would be awesome if it could look a little bit different, and function a little bit different :)

I don't feel that it is a task for me ;) i wanted simple application with cool finger scrolling, and i programmed it. I expect nothing less from the others envolved in programming. :))
