When I toggle the 'read' status of an sms in 0.12 (from 'read' to 'not read'), my device freezes.

I expected the phone icon to usher in the phone app with the currenctly selected number, but instead it minimizes PCM.

The sorting has changed from last name to first name. If the trouble was taken to change this, why not honor the 'File as' field of pOutlook?

As I see it, the whole addition of buttons yields only one advantage, which is filtering on sms in one click instead of two. All the other things were already present (favorites: horizontal stroke; filter: filter soft button; back: back soft button or horizontal stroke; minimize: hide soft button). The price payed is the loss of the title bar with all it's status info. I prefer the previous arrangement. If it's required to have a single step SMS filtering, how about making a distinction between a horizontal stroke to the right and to the left?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
if you stay pressed for more than 250ms it will choose the index letter.

There's no other way I can think of if I want to use the phone button for something else than hide.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sbp:
OK I see, but it really doesn't make any difference if it is a real or a virtual contact, if you get enough of these unwanted "virtual contacts" your PocketCM contact list will be very cluttered - with contacts you don't need or want. Therefore I would like to get rid of them - because I really would like to stay inside PocketCM all the time.

If I can't delete them, then I just want to be able to not show them.

A possibility would be to get rid of them as soon as I have read the SMS. This would happend with SMS received from people not currentlu in the contact list, and some that I don't wantr to add. (I only want to see items in my contact list that I choose to be there)

That is fine, I hope you will make this possible at some point

I am so sorry. I just forgot. I am removing it now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xxza:
I just tried to edit that post but I do not know how to remove the attachment. :(

I am so sorry to tene. anyone knows how to remove?

edit: removed 0.11 . a good lesson to me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ragart:
Fantastic program!

edit -- request #1 no longer applies. Thanks Z3rO

Wanted to leave a congratulations and a few comments. PocketCM is really a joy to use -- it's light and fast and the interface and animations make using the phone a fresh experience. Great job!

Just a few notes on changes since the last version I tried (.11):

1) As people in the forum have mentioned, I also miss the sorting by last name instead of first. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to have the choice.

2) When going into the threaded SMS list of a contact I think I used to be able to press the LEFT key to back out onto the contact or the contact list. You can do this when going into a contact from the contact list, but not from the SMS threaded view. I would appreciate a feature like this.

This software is incredible, and I hope to see even more of your work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] illcaptive:
is there a way to go back to 11, i dont like the fullscreen of 12 and the scrolling is different with 12 and 11 was better for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Z3rO`:
Create a file called settings.ini in your pocketcm folder. Put the following into it for lastname sorting:

contact_sort_expression=%lastname %firstname
contact_header_formatting=%lastname %firstname

Restart PocketCM and et voila you have lastname sorting.

Was just wondering if this app has the option to send an MMS to a contact as well as SMS.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cobra2:
Could it have something with that I'am running the B&B 4.1 Tom_Codon rom with PCM implented in the rom ????

Couse mine is still hangin when recivin SMS (EveryTime):-(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
How many SMS do you have?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Hello tene, excellent update, really love the buttons!

1. what does the phone button suppose to do, it just closes PCM on my 6700

2. what ever you did, fixed the View Contact on mine this time

3. is it still necessary to have favorites & all contacts in the filter list since it is covered by the left buttom button now

4. HELP, this is driving me crazy, I think I have edited the settings.ini file correctly but font size is still showing incorrectly on my PPC. see screenshot and here is my settings ini.

text_color=255,255,255

grey_text_color=255,255,255

contact_height=60

contact_header_formatting=%title %firstname %lastname

contact_font_header=20,italic

contact_font=20,italic

contact_font_secondline=16

contact_secondline_formatting=%phone

index_right_border_width=50
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Just hide, like the right soft key did before someone designed a nice image for it, better than the phone I use.

Great, I made a little change indeed, I hope it will work for more people as I can still reproduce the bug, and no matter which approach I use it always work for me.

I keep them there for two reason:

- it's still make some sense: I want to filter my contact, only see ... this city, or the favorite, or all...

- this way the useful filter (company, city and categories) are close to the finger.

However if someone as other great idea of filtering... I may replace them.

try:

contact_font_firstline=20,italic

Note that since 0.12 you can specify custom font.

for instance: contact_font_firstline=20,regular,Segoe UI
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NRGZ28:
Uhhh.. uninstall 12 and reinstall 11 ?! Do you want use to do it for your or something ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Thanks as always Tene, that did the trick.

FYI, the "contact_font_firstline=' is not in the FAQ

BTW, Tene

1. is it possible to put the back arrow in the contact window at the bottom instead of the top?

2. when in text window going back with the dpad does not work so their is no choice but to use the arrow on top.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jdac21:
can you give icons for the squars at the bottom or just replace with icons

thankz,

jdac21
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Hi Tene, sorry just tried to send a SMS and notice that it will not let my SPB FullScreen keyboard go fullscreen, it flickers the fullscreen keyboard then reverts back to the normal size keyboard.

Also, back arrow goes back to the list not the contact, don't know if this is a preference?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] megarek:
Tene,

I just want to start by saying I love your app. It is a great program that has evolved quite nicely. I have just one request/suggestion.

I have quite a few contacts, and in order to keep the number in check and avoid clutter, I have placed the contacts that I do not frequently use in their own category. I see that you have a filter to select for a certain category, but instead, I would find it helpful to have a way to display/filter multiple categories. That is, I would like to display all of my categories except for the one where I store infrequently used contacts. Does this make any sense?

Thanks again for the fantastic program

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] persiansown:
For some reason with the new version, it doesn't let me use Tengo thumb. It just makes the noise as if it is an error. help?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g35driver:
Damn this program has come a long way.

I love the upgrade, I cant think of anything to make it better. I am happy now that I have the option to text from it haha.

LOVE IT

THANKS FOR YOUR WORK!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ArcticCat:
Am I the only one who prefer V. 0.11 ?????

1. I used to be able to type some letters on the keyboard to find a matching name

2. scrolling feel has completely change for me :(

3. the black doesn't look as "clean" as in v. 0.11 it is has "noise"

I do love the way it load faster (i mean the new version) but other than that I prefer the 0.11
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xmenreturn:
Me too. Yesterday I was very exiting of new release but after playing with it for an amount of time, I decided to come back to 0.11b with the same reasons with ArcticCat.

But in both versions, the speed of loading SMS/favorites contacts in my phone is still quite slow. I have about 600 contacts and only few SMSs, favorites.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kevinniven:
Great

Best program out! I would be lost without it. Thanks:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mike3343:
Hey tene,

I'm loving this program. I've been using it since before it was even called PocketCM. It's amazing stuff.

I've been using the new version, .12, all day today. Many nice changes but there are a few things that I like better in the older versions. I really miss the functioning soft keys. It was nice and quick to send messages and go back to the main screen using my thumb. Having the back arrow at the top of the screen is sort of out of the way. I also liked having the soft key bar at the bottom so I could show/hide the SIP whenever needed. Maybe keep the option in the ini to enable or disable full screen? I know you wanted full screen to have more room for the icons but it's just an idea.

Great great program through, I appreciate your hard work.

-Mike
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
I didn't know that was possible, I just tried it and it works, sweet, thanks for telling about that. :p

Well in my case I like the new scrolling, It feels more natural and so smooth IMO.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] callmesnake:
Somethings I Do Not Like

Hello, I really think that your program is the best for PPC.. Good work

I tried out version 0.12 , it is really good , but some few things like the title in black that shows All Contacts and Favorites..Etc, looks ugly, please try to make it full and make it take all the width of the screen, or align this title to the center by removing some of it width.. or change it color to be gray like background..

Also I found bug when you choose filter and click By City.. Then move my finger from right to left or left to right it bring the same screen with flicking from black

Also why not hide the letters and just replace there place with the background color when they have no functions in some screens.. (Like why i have this letters while i choose from filters)

Also how can i change from start full screen or normal screen..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sian:
Hi Tene

I have the same sentiment as Mike. Personally, I find the additional 4 buttons on the screen is a nice touch.. But when I go into each individual contact, I prefer the v.11 view with two softkeys below which makes it really easy to use.. esp sending SMS and going back after that. Now, having to go to the top (for short finger people like me) can be quite strenuous to our finger. :)

Also, realise now there's no way to select other SIP or to minimise it after / in between texting. Maybe good to allow that. :)

By the way, for the SMSIntercept.dll file, when I install the newer / older version of PocketCM, will it be removed or updated automatically? I'm using zip file, not cab installer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pawel062:
tene nice app. have been using it for a while. i even cooked it into my own athena rom. heres some bugs we noticed in vga:

1.seems that after a tester install all his apps and ran pocketcm itll appear on his top bar after hitting start menu

2. the current vga skins look weard with 0.12 bc of the buttons and full screen.

thanx! otherwise this app is great and makes a lovely addition to my rom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] illcaptive:
do you have the cab.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kawing98:
I love the bottom 4 buttons style. Is that possible to re-create/add by myself to link the button to other program or application? like call history or phone dialer.

Thanks,

Simon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Andre Koster:
No, you're not, so do I. I'm not very happy with the new button arrangement, compared to the old one. Having said that, I do appreciate Tene's work a lot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

First of all I would like to say thanks for a great free application. The PocketCM and PocketCM keyboard is one of the most usefully apps released for PPC for a long time.

The finger scrolling of the contacts list works superb, but I have one enhancement suggestion. When scrolling fast up or down the list it's quite hard to determine if you have scrolled too far or too short. Adding a index indicator which "flows" up or down the index letters on the left side according to contacts list position and scroll speed would make the scrolling easier. See the attached pictures for explanation (the small red box on the index is what I tried to explain)

Second, I wold like to get the soft button support back, specially the back button. The new back icon in upper left corner is to hard to hit with short fingers :eek:

Anyway, great app!

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
Why read a thread when others do it for you, eh? :rolleyes:

However, as ALREADY posted, you can "legally" get all old versions

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I like this idea.

Slide your finger from left to right or right to left?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
(note: this post is not intended to you specifically of course!)

Please be patient, give it until 0.15 to decide it's "bad".

I understand you like or don't like, but take into consideration development time. Maybe you would prefer that I release less often? That's something I should probably do.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jdac21:
i have no icons on mine just white squars

just wondering,

jdac21
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ArcticCat:
OF COURSE we all appreciate his work, sorry didn't mean to be harsh at all
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Hey Tene, please continue to do the great job you are doing and don't get discourage by what others like or dislike and the way the go about sharing that info.

You are doing a great job and in the end you are the developer and you choose which direction you need to go accepting any ideas you wish to accept from the user community.

I for one really like the large buttons and am very interested in seeing where you are taking it from here.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Well, I was serious, and not reacting or offended or discouraged. For some of the application I use, I prefer a stable version that 20 beta version. I'm really thinking about releasing less often, or at least having a stable version that people can complain about and a preview version that incorporate new feature/partial feature, etc...

The problem with it, is that it means two version to maintain, so the only viable solution would be less release, but more polished.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RRibeiro:
Nice new release, I just need a new VGA theme to use it. Because with the actual VGA themes, we miss the four buttons bellow.

Thanks for your work, and if anyone find or make a new VGA theme, please share.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tompouce:
well i made one but since version 11b, my pocketcm closes immediatly when i open it.

maybe because i don't have a pdaphone...well...i'm stucked to version 0.11 :D

loox N560, VGA, WM5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Z3rO`:
I'm using PocketCM since v0.8 (or was it v0.9? :)). When I updated to v0.12 and started it, the first thing I said was "wow". This version is a hughe step forward.

Beside of the sorting by firstname I was really impressed. I changed the sorting through the settings file back to v0.11 behaviour, so no biggie.

I think your release cycle is ok as it is. After all this is FREE stuff, so people should be thankfull for your work. Even if its going into a direction that some people might not like.

Hell, PocketCM is so highly customizable one can easily change it as he likes. Just look into the PCM forums. Lots of directions there how to change the behaviour of PCM.

If you're going to do the stable/unstable thing count me in as a tester. I love being bleeding edge.

Quentin,

I want to say thank you for this great application. I've just installed 0.12 (using it since 0.8) and I must say it's really awesome! I really like the 4 buttons - very usable.

THANK YOU!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

Thanks for reply! I know about the gestures, but I rather use a button if available, it's easier I think.:)

BTW: I'm looking forward to the index indicator "thingy", glad you liked the idea. :D

Hay Tene

U r doin a GReAT job, and hope u'll countinue.. About the less releases, NO NO NO :p I LOVE this app, and it's an honor for me (us) that u let us test it everytime u fix bugs implante a new option ect. ect.

By the way, about my last 2 or 3 post, that 0.12 hangs when i recive a new SMS, i just reflashed my Artimes, and Woilla :D

Ps.

Loves that when u touch the field where u write SMS, and the keyboard pad pupes up :)

Keep up GreaTest work of the BEST contact app EveR

How can i disable the sms receiver notification?

i don't want that when a sms is coming PocketCM intervect the sms

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ginex:
Thanks for the great app !! Only a little question: is possible to switch the letter column from the left to the right side of the screen ? Sorry in advance if someone has answered to this question before.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fasgiu:
I like this new release!

Only a thing: # and A are very close to the border of my prophet now with the full screen and is difficoult with my big finger to select.

how can you help me?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cobra2:
Tene !! Is it possible 2 make it write Capital letter in the start of the SMS and after period :p ????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cobra2:
LoL have exactlly the same prob with the letter A in the top, my finger just can't hit it or slide up 2 it... But it's minor prob for me :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stan2:
I like paalkr idea too. Though you know iContact from larna, tene, why don't you ad a scroll indicator like iContact. For the full screen, I would like to have the top bar shown like iContact too. Loose the four buttons and add finger gesture would keep the ergonomic nice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Entropyst:
Yesss, I was thinking to ask it too (it is normal behaviour when you write an sms with standard application).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
First of all: the newest release .12 is kind a revolutionary for me, i use the iphone appliction that gives you the iphone today screen as an app, in full screen, so i love the combination from slide2unlock to iphone today to pocketcm. Sorry if im too iphone craze, but i hit on good looking software, so is it 2 with pocketcm contact.

The smoothness of the way you scroll in your contact list feels so incredible good, and i think touchflo should intergrate this in the windows scrolling, as it is way less smooth hehe.

With this new release the pocketcm app is a must have for the htc touch. The icons located down in the app are just like the cube and it feels exactly the same.

Tene, you should be very proud.(doo)

An MMS function on it would make it em, like totally complete, but i dont need to tell you that, as you already must know this.

At last: you should update your screenshot of the first post, as it is a few versions back this. Hehe.

The best,

Tomas
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
I find some problems.

when you tipe the button that active filters, after click in another button, nothing happen, the filters screen is still there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] contentryder:
maybe you should change the phone button to a downward arrow button as minimize?

SMS scrolling lags a little..and when pressing on a msg it sets as read/unread bold/unbold...lags the phone also..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dracula77:
PocketCM 0.12

Hi Tene,

I having the same problems as Cobra2 about the phone hanging on receipt of sms and when i got to find a chance to force quit the pocketcm 0.12 before all is back to normal again. I a using a Prophet WM5.

I love the 4 button icons and the smooth scrolling.

There is another small bug i think, is when you wanna touch on sms the screen goes into the sms screen, after that when i touch on the sms messages within the blue and yellow boxes it hangs my phone too.

Other then that its working perfectly fine.

Thanks and Keep up the fantastic work!

:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] illcaptive:
Thanks for the link back, dont get me wrong i love the program, just 12 did not work how i like, 11b did so i will try the new one when it comes out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anichillus:
Questions :

1. Is it limited to 30 SMS/contact ? It doesn't remember more than that?

It's possible that i did something (i doubt it) but the sms are not even in the normal sms. They're completely missing.

2. Is it possible to disable the fulscreen? I liked in v.11 that i could press a soft key for send. I own an HTC Wizard and it has a hardware keyboard, and with v.12 it doesn't minimize the software keyboard when starting to type from the external one. I tried setting the fullscreen to 0 but it's still shown in full screen. Should i edit the image locations too ?

P.S. I also did a new theme. I'll post it asap, just need to test it a bit longer and play with the settings.

No need to mention that this is a GREAT piece of software and we should send some donations in order to keep the project running.
