General remarks (not just for you): pocketcm is in beta, native are faster (well should be) allow more stuff, etc... but there are a lot harder to develop... that's why it's beta, and that's why I made a public beta. The consequence of this: to fix bug, I need your help.

How to fix bugs? (in the context of a freeware)

- ideally get other users reporting the behavior they get, so I can understand if it's related to a specific device, or everybody.

- then I have to reproduce the bug in some way. That's the most time consuming part, and that's were you can help

- once the bug is reproduced, it can to basically two track: the bug is obvious and easy to fix or the bug is a design problem (for instance update contact info when they're modified outside the app: that can't be fixed in .NET correctly for instance, fixing this require big change!).

- after fixing, comes testing, testing and testing, and the big thing to avoid is regression... that's also why I try to publish often: I don't expect everybody to run last version, but it gives a better feedback.

Regarding reproducing the bug: help me! I'll take this post as an example:

- 16 of contacts are not displayed: why? what do they have different? what's special about them? what phone number do they have?

- You found a dictionnary that make the app crash... that's bad, to reproduce it, if you send me the dico, I can basically copy a file and see for myself... without the file, what do you expect me to do? google it, find something close, not the same, see if it works? and what if it does? I'm not sure it's the same.

This also apply to lot of other bugs... so please help me make it works!

ps: ContactManager is dead :p

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bellfazar:
I don't understand the obsessive need to have a cab version. It's a million times easier to install using a zip file than anything else.

Also tene, I don't know if you saw my question earlier but does "separator_image" work yet? Because I can't seem to get it to do anything.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Sorry I miss the post. Send me your image and settings.ini (or the theme file) I'll look at it.

Also I agree with you about cab version... but hey... ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delude:
I've experimented with everything, annd just cannot get the scrolling to run smooth like in the old contact manager, or iContact.

Also, tene, please can you tell me how I can remove the numbers under the contact name. I have tried but they are still there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] johnnyv5:
So everyone can call from the contact? I can't place a call. When I select the phone number it goes back to the contact list and does not initiate the call....

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Andre Koster:
Interesting point, I never pay attention to the sizes of my pics. I quick look into them shows me that they range from 2 to 26 kB, dimensionwise from 51x74 to 428x246 pixels, with a median of 7 kB / 157x187. Basically, if I want a picture I do a screen grab of a face out of a displayed pic on my PC screen. It never occurs to me to downsize the pic, since I only look at the file size. 5-15 kB always seemed ok to me.

@tene

Could this be the reason? Are your pics significantly smaller? What counts in this matter, file size or pixel dimensions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I'll look at it, if I'm correct, it's not even implemented ;)

Well that's logic... the scroll_friction is the number by which I divide the current offset. So for instance, you move your finger the average move is 30 pixels. the next move will be 30 divided by scroll_friction, so if it's 1 it's always 30. if it's 1.01 it will go down pretty fast... so try 1.0001 for instance ;)

What was missing if I'm correct, is a setting to change the delay between each move, it's added in 0.6 available... now. Hope you can make it "smoother" (well actually slower).

That's probably not gonna happen, what may happen (in the very long term) is a more flexible filling model, so the thing would become: index_background=gradient(rgb(255,0,255), white, black) or index_background=image("test.png").

This kind of things... on the other side, it would make the stuff more complex and probably slower.

Well... without getting further, look here: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?8,174

You'll see that the tag you for business address is not right.

Read the post, it does already exist.....

[/QUOTE]

As you want however, it would still be useful to read the sticky post... most of issue's answer are there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Shouldn't be that... one of the change I made to make things faster was to load picture after contact... so you should get your list pretty fast.

Did you change the information displayed on the contact? (list and detail)?

How it works: load your settings, get a list of required contact properties, load those property directly (that's were you're going faster than .NET), then load images.

Hello,

when i use t9 phonepad in the sms, the bottom of the sip is cut off.

couldnt find any settings that increase the height limit for SIP anywhere in the forum. please help thanks. great software.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
can you post a screenshot (of the phonepad inside pcm and outside pcm) and point me where I can download the SIP.

I tried the phonepad with touch screen it worked well for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cobra2:
Try 2 restart PCM, it did it for me.. Hope it works for ya 2
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bull_do3er:
That works for me! :-)

i find that if you start pcm with normal keyboard and swap keyboard to t9 phonepad then it got cut off.

if you change sip before starting pcm, then its ok.

what software is good for screen capture ar?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kenngks:
Sorry, I think I am using the wrong example. To view the full screen (to include the OS bar on top of the screen) of the latest Pocket CM V 0.15 version, it is necessary to edit the settings.INI file in the Touch.cmt by replacing the standard value of fullscreen from 1 to 0. I have follow the following steps:

1.) copy the "touch.cmt" from HTC touch to PC. Renaming "touch.cmt" to "touch.zip"

2.) Unzipping touch.zip to a temporary folder

3.) Modify the fullscreen setting from 1 to 0 under settings.ini file

4.) Zip up the contents of the temporary folder using WinRar

5.) Name the zip file back to touch.cmt.

But after copying the amended touch.cmt back to the Pocket CM folder in the touch phone, the system still recongised the touch.cmt as touch.zip and not able to execute it after a soft reset. What I have done wrong?

Please advise. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
fullscreen setting does nothing in pcm.

to get to fullscreen, go to the option and choose fullscreen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kenngks:
Thanks tene, it works now.

I still need advice on how to convert .zip file back to .cmt format so that I can amend some other features in the settings.ini file e.g. to change to font sizes and colours of the incoming/outgoing messages e.t.c.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Please read: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?8,174 very carefully, you don't need to unzip/rezip everytime.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kenngks:
Ok. Got what you meant. I just need to extract the settings.ini file out and install the revised one into the Pocket CM folder.

Thanks. It works now.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Tene

I've tried the recently available TouchPal Phonepad, which I think has great features. What best, it's free till 8 Dec. You should give it a try too.

However, I have trouble using it in PCM. Managed to use it once. However, after a soft reset, i have trouble launching it. Selecting it only have it up 3/4 in the screen. The last row didn't appear correctly. Also, TouchPal seems to have compatibility issue with Phonepad. Now, I can't launch Phonepad in PCM as well, although I can still use it in other application.

Hope you can look into this. = )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
Tene,

I would very much agree with this post - the keyboard is very much in the PocketCM 'spirit'. There might be some interesting commercial issues to work through, but then we are talking about compatability rather than integration.

Having had a play with it, I suspect it is more than a little buggy in its own right, but it might be worth having a look at? Or are you already familiar with it...it does have the Tene stamp of innovation about it! :D

Bug Report

Hello Tene,

Tried TouchPal and I'm embarrassed to say IMO. it's easier to use than PCM keyboard(Don't shout it's only my opinion, lol). Anyway the reason for posting there seems to be a bug in PocketCM, when using touchpal to write an sms in PocketCM it moves the focus away from PocketCM and onto the keyboard, meaning you cannot access any features in PocketCM i.e. Send, Back or any menus. To use them again you have to minimize and restart PocketCM?

I've reported this to TouchPal and they think the problem is with your software any thoughts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lazyboy0172:
samesies :(

works in all my other programs, but in order to send a message after typing it in pocketCM I have to either minimize and reopen or in the keyboard go to options>help and it will auto minimize the touchpal.

I dont think this is relevant. Everyone has their own preference.

I like PocketCM Keyboard better because I can design my own keyboard layout :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Of course, no doubt about that. That's why some people use different programs over another. I dont really customize the PocketCM keyboard, so I dont really care much about that feature.

What's funny is the TouchPal keyboard doesn't work that great while in PocketCM.

Hi

This has probably been addressed before,but how do you adjust the size of the sensitive part of the right hand side of the screen which is used to scroll through the letters of the alphabet?:o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
As long as you get the tool you want ;)

For me it's not even an option, most of the text I write are in french.

Well I think the prob is on their side ;) Looks like to me that they don't release the capture properly. I'll dig into it if I find some time.

Apologies if its been covered, I tried searching but found nothing, and i dont feel like reading 120+ pages :p

Is there a way to make it so the sip does not appear automatically when i slide out the keyboard to txt? I know you can turn it off after the fact, but i dont want it to pop up in the first place...

Also, perhaps a tweak to make the screen redraw faster? Not a problem just wonderin...

Many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I was wondering if a slight tweak could be made to this fantastic app!!! I love this app, and love using it, but I have one (minor) issue with it, and that is the finger scrolling. I more often than not open two or three profiles, or dial the wrong number while trying to 'flick' to the desired entry. Is there a way to partition part of the screen as a 'scroll-only' portion, and part for making the choice!!

I know this won't be a popular choice seeing as how you can use the directional button as well, but I thought I would throw the idea out there!!

pocketcm & finchsync

Hi,

have a little problem with pocketcm 0.15 and finchsync 0.8c.

everytime i try to edit a contact beiing in the finchsync categories (previously written by finchsync) - pocketcm ends without changes being made.

i have to start pocketcm again - changes are not done?

is this a known issue? or a finchsync problem?

seems to be fixed now - soft-resets didnt help...

i figured out that i cannot set the alarm clock either... would just end... no changes made...

uninstalled htc taskmanager 2.0 and both problems are fixed.. dunno why actually, but happy that it works :)

tene,

is it possible to completely hide the phonepad keys in any way?

In my theme I use an image WITH drawn keys and the small default keys

are always seen, too. As I don't like them because they are so small,

I would better use the image, but this double feature is so ugly.

Any way to blend out default phonepad keys?

Great app but it is possible to disable the Touch cube by showing Pocketcm? Somtimes i write a SMS (i use PhonePAD) and the Cube came up.

Another thing. If i use TouchPAL, i can write something, but i cant use the PocketCM buttons anymore.

I Have to push the "ENd Call" hardware button on my touch to leave pocketCM. Any hints for that problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bydandie:
This has been answered on the forums before, but press and hold the right hand button and slide over to the left to the 'X' button to close the app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Xenpain:
I know.

PocketCM runs always in the background on my device. But if i run TouchPAD (its a keyboard) and i want to write a sms out of pocketCM, i could write without problems, but i can not push any buttons on pocketCM. Like the send button or the back button.

In this case, i have to kill the app by pushing the end call button. Not in normal case.

If i use the PhonePAD keyboard i push send, the sms will send and i go back to the kontaktlist and minimize pocketCM until i push the kontakt button again.

Is there any suggestion to block the cube on working in pocketCM?
