The message must come from another application. There is no such message in FFF!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maikov:
Man, thanx!!! Great app!!! :) I even installed it as default...

It would be great if you can add the "Send MMS" button to the contact details. And may be some possibility to localize it in russian - I've already got russian keyboard for your app but I mean all the application.

Thank you again:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Heads up - Beta 3 is available!

v1.0 beta 3:

* Fixed a bug in the GPS positioning. Please send me the ffflog.txt log file in the application folder if you experience any problems!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
Just upgraded to Beta 3. Short URL generation is MUCH faster, and it seems to work properly.

Well done. Thank you for choosing to continue development on this. You have a great product here!

Suggestion

Jahnotto,

Great application :) - works very well on my Hermes with WM6 Schaps 4.01. I've read through much of this topic - please excuse if already suggested. You could increase usability even more by improving finger-scrolling capability by:

- slightly increasing the width of the scroll bar on RHS of screen

- add the large letter displaying the whereabouts in contacts as you scroll up/down - as per the HTC - Random Access application (details here) - picture below 'borrowed' from this linked other xda dev post.

Keep up the good work. I will certainly be coming back here. Might be worth making a post to publicise this excellent application in each of the other applicable device forums. I know you have posted in the general hacking forum but I would imagine many of us stick largely to the areas covering our own devices - and so miss this :(.

Thank you for the great contact software. The best contact software out there. While playing with it, i'm thinking that maybe we can make it even more "Finger Friendly Friends"

how about this, what do you think? Well, of course, you can use your own graphic and icons, this is just an idea.

THICKER SCROLLER - EASY TO SCROLL

---------------------------------------------------

BIGGER BUTTONS, EASY TO PRESS

what do you think?

Keep it up. Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] LaGeek:
Awesome application. The best application I have found for my kaiser that improves usability. Keep up the great work dude.

One suggestion which I am sure a lot of other people have suggested. Can the font be made bigger both on the contacts screen and when a specific contact is shown? And even use bigger buttons like above?

Thanks again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
Your suggestion kind of defeats the purpose of having the keyboard at the bottom. I like it the way it is.

@viettho - Great suggestion. I like that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
The scroller doesn't need to be thicker. If you notice, you don't have to actually click on the scroller to scroll. anywhere inthe vicinity of the scorller will scroll it. So making it thicker would just take away screen real estate unnecessarily, esp if you have a long contact name or something.

I like it the way it is graphically/visually. Other than moving the "return" to be a soft key instead of its own spot on the screen if the buttons were as big as you request then if you have a ocntact with lots of numbers, you'd have to scroll to see them all. Please leave it the way it is, woul dbe my request.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
The scrollbar is thicker than it appears. The active touch zone is a couple of centimeters on the Kaiser screen. It's just the visual appearance of the scrollbar that is thin. I don't want to waste precious screen space on it! Try to use your thumb to scroll - it should be easy!

I like your software alot, it helps me greatly, I am not saying there is any problem in it, but I wish if you could have added the GPS position to the cellular position, this way I could be down in the club or some place with no clear sky view and i could send my position, supposed I am kidnapped or something like that, you know what I mean? see it would help alot, my tilt has already become a 007 phone but this would help alot, THANK YOU SO MUCH
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] veeru27:
Hi,

Is there anyway to make it display all the contacts details, like Car Phone and Home Phone2 etc.

At the moment It displays only the Mobile and Home Phone details, So In case we want to dial another number for that contact, one has to open the regular contacts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Not yet (there's not enough screen space, so I need to figure out something smart)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] veeru27:
How about this ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VOODOOS!L:
please no scroll bar...I guess it should stay as finger friendly as it is now...

maybe on top most used data (as it is now...mobile, phone, mail..)

and at the bottom a button that will let you chose what to show at the bottom of the screen.

so if you click on the button, you'll get a list where you can chose all other personal data. and if you chose an item, the free space at the bottom can be filled up with your desired data. (will make a screen example later at home if it's not clear)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Look out - Beta 4 is now available!

v1.0 beta 4:

* Fixed a problem in the GPS positioning on some devices

You were right!

My bad! The message was coming from another app as you said. It looked like FFF was initiating it though.

Thanks.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RojasTKD:
Really nice app. I'm testing it on my bricked Mermes (dead cellular radio) as my Kaiser won't arrive till friday. It is very useful! I just wish it would allow me to scroll like iContact.

Thanks for the FANTASTIC work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] while(!(linux)){wm}:
jahnotto,

Thanks very much for your work. I use FFF all the time and love it!

There is really only one thing about it i would like changed. When i use it to make a call, and then finish the call, i often just go strait back to my today screen. Then when i open up FFF again, it is still open to the person i last called. I have to click "go back" and then "clear" to be able to call a different person, which takes more time than it should.

Could you make a setting that makes it reset everything when a call is made or a message is sent?

Another thought. It would be really cool if FFF displayed something when it starts that has the most frequently used contacts.

Thanks again for this great program!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tony.wheeler:
@viettho,

Scrolling is already possible. All I am suggesting is that if you do scroll it would be good to get a display of where in the A-Z range you are on screen as shown in my original post. The HTC Ramdom Access contacts app does this - the large letter displayed is simply an indication of where in the list you are with your finger/thumb - if you let go of the scroll bar (when you see the letter you need) then that is where you will be left in contacts.

Just an idea that combines the strength of another app with this ones great mode of operation :).

jahnotto,

Are you thinking of charging for this software?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Like I have mentioned earlier in this thread, yes. It started as a little hobby project for myself, but as users have embraced it, I've spent far more time on it than expected (which is cool, of course!). I will sell it for a modest sum on Handandgo.

i cant wait for the Keyboard, i think it will be amazing!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
As stated, it's not a button...just a note that there are more matches. It would be great if you could scroll down to see the 'more', but as it is it's already genius. I also can't wait for the keyboard. MS would be crazy not to buy this from you :)

is it possible to make it useable in landscape? thanx.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FoneJunkie:
Thanks for your efforts to create this remarkable program. I have been using it for a day or so and have one major issue with it.

I separate some of the entries in my phone book - mainly businesses, etc, but prefixing the contact name with a Z- (e.g., Z-First Bank and Z-AT&T Cust Svc). This causes those entries to sort to the end of my contacts list, and not be intermixed with family and friends.

When using FFF to find entries, none of the "Z-" entries are searchable - I suspect because the algorithm is looking for a contiguous string of characters. There is no option (that I can see) to enter the '-'. Searching for 'bank' also does not find my bank entry.

This is an excellent concept, and a really good alpha version. I anxiously await your next version. Thanks again for the work so far, and for sharing this app.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johanromijn:
[BUG] ??

Very nice and usefull app. DRMWY-Touch keyboard is even better than I expected. Thanks!

However I have one "issue".

When I select my own name and dial my number from FFF it says:

Dialing:

Unknown Caller:

+316xxxxxxxx

(Dutch Number) When I redial the last call it says the same. (Unknown Caller)

BUT, when I use WM built-in Contacts, select my name and choose to dial my mobile number is says:

Dialing:

My Own Name

+316xxxxxxxx

It shows exactly the same number but dialed from FFF it seems it doesn't recognice the number. Very strange isn't it?

[EDIT] Wow this is strange. I checked again, and now it seems that dialing other numbers don't give this issue. It's only showing up when I call myself. (Of course that was only to test your app.)

I have now idea what's different with my number.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shadowace:
Nice app. I would recommend it clear the search everytime you leave and return to the app. Mine seems to store my last search, yes it is as easy as tapping clear...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Wow, that's weird. Actually FFF isn't making the call itself, it'w wm6 that makes the call and displays the contact name if it exists in the contact list.

Are there any other characters in your phone number than the plus sign and numbers? Any spaces? Perhaps there are any leading or trailing spaces?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
Jahnotto, is it possible to have your app show the all the contacts (like the outlook) before narrowing down the list with the keypad? I find it convenient to just scroll when the name is near the start of the list. Also, it would be great if you could just hit the call hard button when/if the search narrows it down to only one name. Great app, just some suggestions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] praz993:
jahnotto,

you have truly put out one of the best apps in mobile history. i can't thank you enough. this is one of those apps that makes a phone exponentially nicer to use..

i'll be looking forward to your future projects.. keep up the great work and thanks again..

:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
You could also consider showing the picture that's with each contact but the application definitely seems to be on the right track. Oh and i second the landscape support too. I dont use it to dial from there usualy but if you do have your phone on landscape and start FFF it looks all mixed up and even if you go to portait mode it still looks mixed up. The only solution i saw is to close the app from task manager and try again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dash7869:
i tried calling myself too, just to test out, and i have no problems with the display..

do you have the same issue when u use poutlook to call yourself? dont think its a FFF issue.. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
this is pretty cool but all of my contacts are on my sim card, is there any way to make it see the sim card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tugas2khas:
I wish this app integrated with pocketCM then it will be great!... It will has a very good functionality with a nice eye candy...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] augustine:
Very nice application. Attractive graphics. Functions as described on my Tilt with approximately 350 contacts. Thanks for the work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
If only it would show up when hitting the right softkey button (as the original contacts place).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CorruptedSanity:
Beautiful app!! Thanks a whole lot.

Great news! I used softkey app to change the right softkey designation to FFF. I did this by hittin the ... button (to navigate to file) and then went to program files > FFF > then selected FFF.exe and it works great!

At least till you you make it a user option.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johanromijn:
No, there are no spaces in it, no P(pause), or anything else.

BUT, I noticed a difference

Dialing my Mobile number from FFF is shows:

Dialing:

Unknown Caller:

+316xxxxxxxx W

Instead of:

Dialing:

Unknown Caller:

+316xxxxxxxx M

So, I call my Mobile number from FFF, it shows it as my work number.

I also have a Work number under my name, but dialing that number works correct.

Dialed from directly from "Contacts" this isn't happening.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] iammarkus:
Finger Friendly Friends ROCKS!!!

This app is amazing. For those who run it and do not see thier contacts, starting typing the name of someone in your contacts and the applicaton starts searching. It defaults to a blank screen when first lanched. Also, once you have picked someone, you can then SMS or Call the person. Once done, simply click the OK button and you are back in the search mode. Dragging your finger from right to left steps you back in your search. Clicking clear starts you from the start...

Great application!!!!!

I'm not sure if that helps selling your great prog in Russia (as it is long and hard way to pay for anything from Handango from here), but I've translated your home page into russian =) You can find it here (_http://files.myopera.com/PsychodelEKS/files/fff.htm) and use per your discretion. And also russian layout for it (_http://files.myopera.com/PsychodelEKS/files/russian.keyboard).

Nice work, jahnotto! ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
A russian FFF page! How cool! :-D

Does FFF work with russian contacts when you have the russian.keyboard file installed? I guess you need a cyrillic font?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PsychodelEKS:
It works like a charm ;) I have russian localized device, so the cyrillic font is present. Though, everything else (buttons, menu etc.) is in english of course =) If you need any help with that (overall localization) in future, give me a call ;)

I'm also thinking of double layout (eng+rus) now, to be able to perform combined searches. Though all my contacts are named in russian, going to try it anyway =)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Cool! I thought cyrillic needed Unicode. I'll have to install a russian WM emulator and see for myself! :D

Contacts Disappearing

In beta 4, contacts no longer appear on opening screen. In fact, all is blank until I start typing. Not ROM specific b/c I have tried several. Also, did not occur on beta 3??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
Version 1.0 is released!

Finally version 1.0 is released! It can be purchased for a modest som at Handandgo. Go to http://www.jotto.no/fff for a the purchase link.

Now it's time to continue my work on the DRMWY-Touch keyboard replacement for SMSes and such, isn't it?

Needless to say, lots of sales will encourage me to work harder on the DRMWY-Touch keyboard - so spread the word! :D

What a fantastic app!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
You're right - it's because it's actually trying to match a "(". I will fix this in the next version.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] galenmd:
I get this same problem on occasion. I had to shut off fff and restart. I also have seen it lock up on searching certain contacts.

Forgive me if this was covered in an earlier post: Would it be possible to have fff store the contacts info so as to not have to get the "scanning contacts" start-up each time? I have about 3,000 contacts and it takes awhile. I remember in Chatter email app (for PalmOS) it stored the info and had a settings option to not update the contact info automatically.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
I'll look into another way to do it. How long time does the startup take?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] galenmd:
The initial startup time takes exactly 16 seconds for me. I don't edit my contact list that often, so it would be great if there was an option for fff to store this info and update manually. Otherwise, I must leave it running all day (that's OK for me, except that I am still in my set-up phase and frequently rebooting).

I have also been able to reliably reproduce the bug reported above:

I get to a screen with only a few contacts listed.

I use the jog wheel on the side to scroll to my desired contact (sometimes the jog works, sometimes it doesn't)

Now either one of two things happen:

a. I am able to scroll using the jog dial and select my contact, but get the error when I return to search.

b. I am unable to select my contact at all once I touched the jog dial.
​

Either way, once I try to get back to the search page, I get a display of a non-functioning keyboard only. If I go back to the Today screen, then re-select Contacts, only the keyboard appears. The remainder of the screen stays on the Today screen.

So, it seems to be a jog dial problem. As long as I don't touch it (a hard habit to break) then everything seems to work well.

A great app I must say. I am very impressed. One of the few utilities that is work paying for.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jahnotto:
