hi jahnotto,

just tried alpha 5 on my ipaq WM5 ppc. seems that WM5 doesn't recognize it's certificate so it won't run. would you happen to know a way around this? any input would be very much appreciated.

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcleek:
Allow option settings for the GPS coordinates link and do not require users to use your server to send a Google Map. Also allow users to change the default email or sms message body. I know you can change the email after it is created but it would be easier to modify the template.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] laakness:
I am still unable to send my location to anyone. It gets the fix and says its ready to send. I try tapping on send via email but nothing ever happens. I use the ATT tilt with the stock rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
Again, awesome. thanks for the ENG keyboard. I dont use the GPS feature, so didn't test that out.

Now, I did notice a minor bug. I went to the settings, and changed the keyboard to french (or anything besides default) and then changed it back to default. It stayed as French. And there isn't an English option in the list. But when I stop the program and restart it, it opened with the Eng keyboard again, so I was OK.

THANKS AGAIN!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mordof:
hello jahnotto

can it work (the fff) on the other app.

i mean when i press on the sms can i use the FFF keyboard?

nice app.

sorry very nice
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mattwong2120:
wow... i wonder if we can have the FFF concept work in the HTC touch T9 keyboard/keypad

that would be the app of the century!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
I'm working on a software keyboard replacement as well, but that will be another application.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mordof:
i can be a beta tester if you want

i translate the application to hebrew and it works fine

thanks again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr J:
hermes wm5, same here.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flexte:
bugs i have found so far

1.if after typing 2 letters i only have 2 contacts showing. if hit the dpad down i cannot tap on a contact until i hit the dpad up again.

2. also noticed in the same situation if i hit ok to minimzie after i unfreeze the program when i restart the program only the keyboard is showing. the top half of the screen is the today screen.

besides that it looks promising.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Banzon:
Hej Jahnotto

skulle der være en mulighed for at du kunne lægge dette ind på www.mobildebat.dk gerne på dansk (syntes at kunne forstå du er dansk ? ) så os derinde kunne få glæde af dit fantastiske arbejde ?

på forhånd tak

/Banzon
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
sorry if this has been asked, but do you have plans to support sim contacts?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] v8s10chevy:
Same here

Verizon XV-6700

Really want to try this out.

I will check back here as well as your site for update!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marco899:
Great program!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Did you try the alpha 5 release?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] akxak:
Excellent idea und implementation - congrats.

I have a problem with sending an email. I am using FlexMail instead of Outlook. It seems that the configured default email app is not used instead Outlook is called (where the proper Email-Account is not configured).

Also for contact details, it would be very nice if the installed default app would be used instead of Outllook (in my case PocketInformant).

Keep up the excellent work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sebbes:
Just tried Alpha5 : really cool app ! Congratz !!

Few suggestions :

- add a large bottom button ala-iphone on contact details to return to the list (the [ok] button is too small)

- Menu/Settings/Keyboard > is this just changing the few accentuated letters?

- add a small icon for the StartMenu recent list
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] v8s10chevy:
Yes I did

I went to your site I was able to download and install however it won't run a message pops up stating it is not signed with a trusted cert.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bishopau:
just made the switch from PocketCM 0.15 to this

load times are SIGNIFICANTLY faster

with PocketCM my transition time between portrait to landscape is blown out to damn near 10 seconds at times

with FFF there is no noticeable increase in such time (10 seconds to 3-4 seconds is much nicer)

excellent program
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
messed up, see below
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
Experienced the same half FFF and half today screen after pressing ok.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
Where can I download the latest version?

It seems that @ 1 is on your page not @ 5.

Thanks once again for a great app.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
It's a http://www.jotto.no/fff

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
I had tried F5 but it didnt work, so I posted to ask the location. Hitting CTRL + F5 did it.

Whats the difference between regular F5 refresh an CTRL + F5?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bishopau:
F5 is just a reload of the page

CTRL+F5 basically tells the browser to ignore its own cache/temp internet files and load it all from scratch :)

Hope that helps!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr J:
sorry, i should have specified... yes this is Alpha 5 i'm running on wm5 Vario II. i had previously tried the older versions on wm5 as well and had the same message regarding the trusted certificate.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
I've discovered a problem in the installer on some WM5 devices (which means: I screwed it up!). Alpha 6 will support WM5 for real :eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] watchdog:
Nice app

But I have one question. Is it possible to put the a show/hide option of the item "Send Position" under the Settings menu. This for PDA's who doesn't have a GPS on board.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dan13l:
I'm not sure I like the app displaying all contacts on startup - I preferred the other way of doing things. Can we have a toggle?

The main problem I have is that it brings my device to a crawl; I have quite a few contacts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
New version

For your information: beta 1 is now available!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
Nice! Thanks! Will try it when I get a chance tomorrow!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] akxak:
Hi!

Just installed it... but FlexMail (www.pocketinformant.com) is not recognized for sending mails yet. Would be nice if this could be added.

Best regards,

hi jahnotto,

just tested v1.0 beta 1 on my WM5 ipaq hx2495. like all previous versions, FFF is still not running coz of the trusted certificate problem. is my specfic ppc device the only one having problems of not being able to run FFF v1.0 beta 1?

regards,

myownregister
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dr J:
confirmed as working for me on BOTH Touch WM6 and Vario II WM5.

good work jahnotto, great work, looking forward to further developments...

my friends are getting proper jealous of my "geekphone" these days ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VOODOOS!L:
Still no contact pictures in any view...very disappointing! else this could be a nice app...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] freecall:
I have a specific problem with FFF on my english HTC Tytn II. When I run FFF and go to send my position a 3G or GPRS connection is opened (and stays open), the satelites are found , the position is entered in the field, the status changed to creating map ... but than nothing for 5-6 minutes.

Leaving FFF is not possible , soft reset is the only way out .

Navigon , TomTom and even TrackmeGPS (here in xda developers) works well. Internet both opera and explorer works well

Any idea or does somebody has the same experience ?

Freecall
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Do you know if the ipaq is enforcing any specific security policy?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
It'll be there in version 1.1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VOODOOS!L:
nice!!:) :) :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] foaf:
Thanks for email selection in beta1. Perfect app!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Scann69:
Would it be possible to add one more icon to "Edit" the contact? If you can put that in, many will probably not need to have the default "Contacts" in the start menu....i know i still have it there cos there are time when i need to look at the address and i cannot use FFF to do it. Would be great if you could have and "Edit" icon which will allow one to copy and paste address, contact number or even short notes.

Just my 2 cents.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] miltons:
Prefix dialing

Would it possible to add an IDD prefix or calling card prefix features in next version that can simplify local and overseas calling.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darkwolf.mca:
Hi, really amazing app. Great job!

Just a question: I set it as standard contact application but now I can't add new contacts. Is it possible to add a button do add a new one or am I missing something?

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scouser_75:
Also, would it be possible to add a contacts address details? And the ability to send vcards?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vanstra:
Jahnotto, thanks for this great app.

It's really a tremendous piece of software.

Keep up the good work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] akxak:
Well... I think we should stay fair on this matter... jahnotto created an excellent app making the handling of the contact list much easier.

The app just reached beta status and is free of charge.

So in my eyes, we can politely ask for features. They need time to get implemented and the priority remains with the auhtor.

From me: Keep up the good work, I appreciate any improvement.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zyren:
I installed this program the other day and absolutely love it! good work. While using it, i noticed that you couldnt go back to the contact list once you clicked on a persons name. Well, you could, but that involved hitting the "ok" button at the top right which is kind of hard to do for a lefty using it with one hand.

My suggestion: Is there any way you can add a "back to contacts list" button on the bottom somewhere so someone could click it easily without having to hit the "ok" button on the top right? Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
If you haven't re-assigned the button the "OK" button on the left side of the Kaiser, it can also be used to close the Contact Detail page. Or the OK button on the bottom right of the front. I just wonder if adding another soft button on the screen would unnecessarily use more screen real estate.

(Of course if a right->left swipe gesture similar to the backspace gesture could be used to do it, that would be great, but not sure if its worth it either.)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] myownregister:
hi jahnotto,

thanks for the quick reply. as far as i know, there isn't any specific security policy since i have been able to install tons of apps over the past couple of years w/o encountering this certificate problem .

except when i also tried installing HTC album yesterday which brought up the same warning but i'm guessing HTC Album's not a certificate prob but a missing component coz i dont have HTC home plug-in installed. (error window says either it's a certificate problem or there's a missing component)

do you happen to know of any component i might be missing to be able to install FFF that might rule out the certificate problem?

regards,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Messel:
Hi jahnotto

I use FFF a lot every day, and it's a great app. I would not know how to find my contacts without it anymore. However, I have one suggestion that would make it a little better in my eyes. That was in my eyes, so it should probably be as an option in settings or something since we work in different ways.

To explain what I mean:

I find contact A, call him, sms him, email him or whatever and do my business. Everything great so far. Then 5 min later I'm going to call contact B, but contact A's details are still there. So I must press ok, then clear, then I can finally search for contact B

I think it was better if last contact search was cleared as soon as I called or emailed someone and I was back to start for the next contact search. I don't even know if it's possible, or if it makes sense to anyone else. Just a suggestion from my side.

Keep up the good work, it's the best contact app out there!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] laakness:
No one has replied whether or not they are seeing the same issue as me. I use a ATT Tilt with the stock ROM.

FFF runs and searches contacts just fine but when I send GPS location it will get a fix and say it's "Ready to send".

I then cannot tap on any of the bottom two links, like send via Email. There is no response from the bottom half of the screen.

If I click OK at the top it just closes the window and goes back to the contacts like nothing happened.

Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] u53r:
Running beta 1 and everything is great so far. Love the fact that I can bring up Business names. One thing though, twice I was able to find the contact I wanted and pull up the info. But instead of getting a "ok" on the top right, it showed an "x". Either hitting the x or the hardware ok button closes the program. But when I bring up FFF again, it still shows the same screen. Couldn't get out of that except for soft reset.

Like I said, it only happened twice and it was with two different contacts. I'll try to pay more attention to see exactly how this happened. Anyone else experience this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vanstra:
I agree with this.

It should be nice if this could be added as a feature in FFF.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
Yes, got this once
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tombrown1:
Love the program. Thank you!

Having a problem with the GPS sending. I either click on the link or type it into my PC and it takes me to an article on www.plastic.com.

I have the Tilt original ROM.

Thanks,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 1adam12:
Fantastic stuff! Send us a PayPal address if there isn't one on the site.

Can someone point me to a URL which will assist me in remapping the Contacts button on my Tilt / Kaiser to this application? The biggest thing I miss about my iPhone is the seamless and fast interface. I never was a Mac guy, but boy did they get it right. If it wasn't for corporate email I'd probably still use it, but this Tilt is turning out to be quite nice now with HTC Home and Customizer and some of the crap removed.

Thanks for any pointers in getting this button mapped to FFF!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shadowace:
I know it is 26 pages, and can be daunting, however there are two such solutions in this very thread for that question. Here are your two options.

1. You can TOTALLY remap this making it the system default contact manager, to do this you will need to edit your registry. The necessary keys are discussed in this thread. Just start at the front page and read through my friend.

2. If you want to just remap this application the the button or "soft-key" on the default today screen then you can use one of MANY applications to do that for you. I recommend "Advanced Configuration" by Schaps I believe and now in version 1.1 (at least that is the newest I use) With AC you can just remap the current contacts button to launch finger friendly friends and not your normal contacts view. HOWEVER understand that launching contacts from any other application will open the normal contacts app and view.

I believe you will see where the author of this app has said he will add making this default inside the app as an option eventually.

Also not flaming you here, but a little reading/searching/reading/searching wiki/reading wiki will normally fruit you not only the answer to your question, but some other great knowledge as well. I was around for years before I decided to start posting...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
Kudos the author for creating an innovative program. I use it mostly as a quick way to send an SMS. Tonight, after installing the latest beta, I decided to try out the GPS via SMS part.

Like a few others, I have the issue where I can't click on the button to actually send the link after it figures out your position and generates the mini URL. What I did was click OK to get back to the contact details and then hit the button again to send GPS via SMS. That time it worked and I could send my GPS coordinates via SMS.

That leads me to the second problem. I have read through this whole thread and apparently nobody else has had this problem. The problem is that the mini URL (http://xrl.us/xxx) is wrong. After the URL is generated and I send the SMS, I try to go that URL myself on my own PC (or even on my Tilt). It always comes up with some random webpage, not even remotely related to Google Maps.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what is the solution? I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM.

Thanks,

.:Christian:.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jakontil:
it is 26 pages, no time to read, i'd simply tell you the page, read page 2, it's there and i used it, faster this way......when i could help i would :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
This feature would be nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] famewolf:
This app runs really well on alot more than just the kaiser...I'm running it on my MDA (wizard) as the default contact manager....perhaps the thread should be moved to "Development and Hacking" so everyone can find out about it?

Thanks to the author!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] warmkiwi99:
Brillaint app!

But.....I also have the URL problem trying to get to Google maps. is it xlr.us or xrl.us? neither of them work for me.

xrl.us/xxxx goes to random websites and xlr.us/xxxx doesn't go to google maps

is there a secret trick to get this to work?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
That's strange. FFF doesn't depend on any components other than Windows Mobile itself. I'll have to investigate a bit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Can you send me the exact map link that you got from FFF? You can of course send it on email (jotto@jotto.no) if you don't want to disclose your position on this forum. By the way, it's xrl.us/xxxx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] warmkiwi99:
I sent myself an SMS:-

Hello,

first THX for the great APP ;-)

Locating by GPS works fine, but when I want to send it by email, it always choose the Outlook account. Is there a way to choose my own email account, e.g. GMX ? Because when I´m sitting in an I-Cafe, I can´t send it directly ! First I have to connect to an PC via Active Sync.

Sorry for my bad english ;-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mordof:

hello jahnotto

can you add hebrew support to your nexr beta relase

i made a hebrew.keyboard

thank

mordof
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
You can choose your email account in the settings!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
I will see if it's possible. I may have to do some modifications in handling unicode characters. In that case, I have to postpone it until version 1.1.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] freecall:
Downloaded latest version but same problem as before with sending my position function:

- Edge connection automatically established

- Satellites found and position shows up in entry field

- Status changed to "generating Map" with blinking cursor before the first letter

- nothing more than that .. even after 10 minutes with open edge no map link is created

Are I am the only one with this program ? English HTC Hytn II with original ROM.

Or is there any log file to understand what error FFF runs in .. I really would love to have that function working .

Other than that .. great great tool !

I used an older version ;-)

Are you running the latest Beta? If not, download from the link in the first post.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flexte:
Same issue

Just installed the new beta and i still have the same issue.

can someone else try this to confirm.

open the app

hit enough letters to only have 1 or 2 contacts showing.

hit the dpad up or down

the click on a name.

now minimize the app.now open the app again

after that the program only shows in half the screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 1adam12:
I love this app. How could Microsoft not have already paid you a handsome sum of money for it? It should be included in a service pack for WM6.

That being said... like many others, with the newest version and stock AT&T ROM I cannot send or SMS my location to anyone. It generates, it gives me a URL, it shows the correct coordinates, but I cannot click either of the links on bottom.

Hopefully this will be addressed with a future update. Otherwise, kudos!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nispen:
little bug

GREAT program.

Found this bug. Look up a contact. Click the name in the list. Now a window opens with several options: call, send e-mail, send sms etc. I will call this screen [C]. Notice in the top right hand corner it says OK. If you tap OK, you go back to the previous screen, where you can tap CLEAR and do a new search.

So far so good.

Now do this. Look up a contact. Click the name in the list. Then choose open in Outlook. Do whatever it is you want to do in Outlook. Close Outlook. Now you are back in screen [C]. Only this time, there is no OK in the top right hand corner, but an X. Tap the X and FFF minimizes. If you start up FFF again, back you are in screen [C]. You cannot get back to the previous screen. The only way to get out of this loop, afaik, is to completely close FFF (not minimize, but stop it running) and then restart.

Once again, great prog.

Wouter
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mbriody:
Small request - can you rename the app to something like FFF Contacts so that it fits when used as a replacement soft key?

I've hacked this in the registry at the moment but it would be nice not to have to.

Great app by the way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scouser_75:
Dude, Im experiencing some minor problems. When I go into FFF, key in a contact, pull up their details, and then decide to go back to the FFF main screen by pressing the OK button or X button, sometimes I'm taken back to the Home Screen.

A bug? or just my phone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Perhaps you're tapping the X/Ok twice?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scouser_75:
Thats what I thought. So tried again and again. And this happened all too often even when I made sure I was only tapping once!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
You can try the "return" button in beta 2 instead (when that is available)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] warmkiwi99:
can't wait for Beta 2! Looking forward to sending my position to people :)

Don't suppose there is anyway of manually "fixing" the incorrect URL it sends? I guess you are using something similar to tinyurl.com?

Great product
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scouser_75:
Thanks Jahnotto. Will try it :) (and when will it be available ;) )
