I am facing some problems

Dear Developer,

I have tried using this applications on numerous occassions with previous versions.I have an official O2 Rom WM6 on an Atom Life and when i try using this application it works fine till i dont receive any call.The moment i receive a call i only hear the ring tone in background and the caller ID never comes up.Subsequently it results in the phone getting hanged and the ring tone keeps on playing till i dont reboot the Atom Life.This has been aproblem for me all the time and also witht he current version .20.I know it may be a small issue for you but i feel i am at a huge loss since i am not being able to use thid wonderful application....hope someone has a solution for this....

Regards,

Roopesh

I just wanted to say that I am now finally happy with my Kaiser after doing the following 3 things:

Installing KaiserTweak and modifying settings such as TouchFlo sensitivity and backlight settings

Installing PointUI for finger based navigation

Installing PocketCM Contacts - This ties in nicely with PointUI's interface and filled in a feature that PointUI desperately lacked

Installing PocketCM Keyboard to stop my fat fingers pressing the wrong buttons.

I can now use my Kaiser completely from the screen without having to revert to the stylus or the keypad, which is very useful when it is docked somewhere like in the car.

Thanks for putting the final bits in the puzzle into place for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Yep, this combo pretty much made it possible for me to switch to a Polaris/Touch Cruise. Don't need the keyboard any more at all. And its amazing how much a difference the size and weight feels between the two. Having used the TyTN and TyTN II, the TC reminds me of when I first got the RAZR waaaay back when it first was released.

cant add new contact

hi

pocketcm works fine but I cant seem to add a new contact

when I click add new contact it gets me to the screen to add one, but then I cannot type anywhere or select anything

i see all the options like first name last name phone etc... but I cannot select them or type anything

any clues?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
unfortunately this great app slows down my HTC Touch Cruise a lot somehow...overall performance slows down increasingly to an unacceptable level and it right away hangs when i receive an sms... is there a way to disable the sms connectivity? i really dont need the sms history thing in my contact app anyway..

it would be really great if it worked as its supposed to without the hangups...

any clues or expected solution for this...?

thnx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
no one....? really..?? come on guys...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Did you try posting over at Tene's forum? I think you may get a little more response there, this thread has slowed incredibly, so posting over there will give you more of a chance!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
thanks for the tip, ill give it a try :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rockfshr:
wondering if anyone knows how to change the way the contact is displayed when a new contact is added. I want the first name to be shown first then last name.Right now it shows last name first.Could'nt find any option to change this.

Thanks

never mind found it....menu comes up when you hold your finger on the phone menu and you can choose wm contacts and then change it there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
SushiKidd, remove the smsintercept.dll.

Rockfshr- open the zip file for the theme you are using (or create a seperate ini file) if you look at the original theme ini file you should see a line for 1 & 2nd line of contact.

can't install pocketPCM

Hi!

I can't install pocketPCM on my Qtek S200 (wm5 french edition) cause it need NET compact framework 2.0, i tried to install NET compact framework but its bloc with Error message!!!:(

Is there any solution? :confused:

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] closet410:
just installed...

how do you import contacts from sim to phone?

never mind. got it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] caretaker22:
PocketCM is a great app, but one question.... Why did you in cooperate the sms chat into the program. Why didn't you split it into two. the reason why i asked is because the program is very slow on loading..... I think it will be a great idea too made it into two separate programs... Anyway... great work..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
caretaker22, Just delete the SMSintercept.dll in the PocketCM folder and it will not intercept SMS Chat anymore.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
anyone else having trouble with the SIP too while using PocketCM?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
ah i see you have / had the same problem eyecrispy... did you happen to find a solution yet?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyecrispy:
unfortunately, no. i got it to stop for a few days by not going into the standard SMS app for WM but it still came back. i've stopped using pocketCM because i need to be able to get to my SIP easily. sad because i think pocketCM is a great app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
You know what? The funniest(sp) thing happened to me yesterday....when I was typing out an SMS on the native message app, I had the same issue you described happening in PocketCM, so I finally know what your talking about (in a sence). All I do is tap on another part of the screen.....(usually the message-header), and my SIP goes away again.....I know....sounds too simple to be of help to you, but I thought it was funny how it happened to me!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyecrispy:
your SIP goes away but does the icon to bring it backup return? that's my issue. once the icon to choose my SIP disappears, that bottom bar with the icon never returns when i use any other native apps like Outlook. so, if i decide to type an email, i can get my keyboard to pop back up without a lot of poking and prodding with my stylus.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Nope........mine pops right back. I didn't really think it would really be that easy, sorry!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coney718:
My problem is when Im using the SMS with PocketCM it works, but when I leave or close PCM then open it again, i go to SMS&History under the contact the chat is gone, all the messages arent there. Is that supposed to happen? i thought the chats stay there after you close out. It even happens if I go from one chat to another, after I close out of one, go to another, then I go back to the previous one and all the messages are gone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
i fully agree with you on all points....

its seems its just too overloaded, while the underlying idea of a quick basic finger friendly GUI to amend the pocketoutlook app for the most common tasks is a great idea... but maybe because too many irrelevant or overestimated features get built in, it loses its main purpose and usefulness...

i wish someone would build just that, a simple but quick and effective GUI for Pocketoutlook contacts and calendar too.. who wants to use a stylus anyway? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Yeah, I unfortunately have stopped as well, don't use the SMS so much but everytime I set favorites after awhile they disappear.

Using FunContact (works nice but start up delay is a killer 15secs) until this gets fixed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
i believe someone found a fix/workaround for this. you might try searching google and howard forums, ppcgeeks, (maybe pdaphone home), and see what you can find (as well as this site). im pretty sure i have seen this issue, and seen it eventually solved somewhere. also check pocketcm.com in the forum section under bugs or something.

good luck!

there are PLENTY of other finger contact applications like this one, all with a fairly nice gui as well. i wouldnt say they are as nice as pocketcm, nor do i respect their developers as much but...they are good. there are really plenty.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
thanks, but couldnt find it (yet) also on the pocketcm forum i couldnt find a solution or answer yet, although many people seem to have this prob..

well ive looked at a few and funcontacts and finger friendly friends, so far, are the best competitors.. however, funcontacts need a very long time to load, and fingerfriendly contacts is 15 USD, plus its not really what i was looking for

do you know of any contact app that just offers a simple finger friendly GUI shell for the most common Pocketoutlook features?

the common features i am thinking off are looking up a contact quickly and easily with one finger and being able to choose between tapping a 'send sms' button, a 'call mobile'/'call work'/'call home' or any other numbers available for that contact. another important feature would be to quickly and smoothly enter a new contact with one finger. right now its just quite a clumsy procedure.

these seem to me the most basic and common contact application features, although of course i agree there is no accounting for taste..

i do agree pocketcm is crafty and nice, but IMHO too heavy on the one hand, which causes problems like the SIP problem i think, and not customisable enough on the other.. not that im ungrateful for the developers efforts though. wish i had half the talent..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
for looking up a contact and dialling, unfortunately there's no SMS hooks as yet try iContact, very quick and straight forward. The developer says that SMS is planned for the future.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sushikidd:
ive tried that before, i must say i dont remember what it looked like anymore.. but i do remember it being still too basic that time... no sms as u say, and no new contact option for example
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coney718:
I asked this question before but I dont think it was ever answered. Is anyone else having issues with texts disappearing? Im in a chat with someone, when i exit out of PocketCM then come back in the chat/texts are gone. It happens every time.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
i have even heard of this.

what device are you using?

what rom are you running?

what apps do you have installed?

are there any reg keys that you changed that you think might be affecting this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] coney718:
Ok i figured out the problem. Its because I was using SMS Chat, all of my texts were going into the SMS Chat inbox folder and not the default messaging folder so PocketCM wasnt picking it up. Once I moved the texts to the default folder and and uninstalled SMS Chat and its working well now. I should have known I couldnt use 2 messaging apps, one would have to interfere with the other. I'm using a Touch/Vogue with the stock WM6 rom BTW. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
lol yup, glad i could help so much ;)

so uh just curious but...what is the default messaging folder?

thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BustedNuts1:
No space with Touchpal

I have the option checked to add a space after the word, but still no space.

Also, when I click on the space button, nothing happens, but I am still able to type words/sentences (no spaces of course). Anybody else experienced this? Know how to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
0.21 is up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Hi, Quentin. 0.21 looks really good - i love the new SMS icon and SMS text preview features :D

A quick question - how about being able to invoke pocketCM with a command line parameter (so you can launch directly in SMS view, in sms edit mode for a given contact, etc)? It has been requested a number of times here and back in your forum, but so far i didn't see you stating a clear position about it. So what's this feature status - do you plan to add it, or leave it out?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gregoryx:
Thank you. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BustedNuts1:
Still the same problem with this version.

Tene do you ever plan to address this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ekin101:
I did not encounter this problem with touchpal SIP.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Unlikely; it's been discussed many time, many solution have been proposed, many workaround, I'm guess none work for you. And I still can't reproduce it.

So unless I find a way to reproduce or it's fixed through a side effect from another change, it's unlikely to happen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] frequenzweiche:
Hi folks, my first post :rolleyes:

Thank you tene for this great prog, it works perfectly on my Orbit 2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
wow. 0.21 is ultra fast.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Genesis3:
I'm running a cooked 6.1 ROM and the contact manager both won't pick up SMS from the inbox (although its in the inbox, and is threaded) but also won't send SMS.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AlterationX10:
hi, are there working skins for vga devices?

(yes, i used google :-) )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Glen L:
i think i found a bug.

version 0.21 doesnt sort new messages.

I have to exit pocketcm before I can see the new message on top.

can anyone confirm this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Soft reset, fully uninstall, soft reset, make sure the pocketcm folder is gone. Reinstall.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Genesis3:
OK, never mind on the "Doesn't pick up SMS" - fixed that.

However, it won't SEND SMS. That's a problem...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
can you elaborate? what error do you get?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Genesis3:
Nothing at all.

No error, no action. Clicking "Send" illuminates when it is pressed but it does not actually send, and the message does not show up in the queue for that contact.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
what about: http://www.google.be/search?q=sens+...s=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Genesis3:
Ooook, so I'm stupid :)

Never mind.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
not "stupid", I have to make a better GUI, however as this applicatino is still in dev, it's expected that you have to dig a little bit around... glad that it works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] calcop:
Hi, I'm trying this cool program but after few seconds it close. My pda have WM6.1 and 20 mb free for apps. Any idea? Tanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] BustedNuts1:
TouchPal V3 solved my problem of not being able to use a space when sending a test message.

PocketCM is once again my favorite program!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Glen L:
thanks Tene, it now works fine!

also I can see that SMS loads faster now..

thanks

.20b Themes?

Can anyone confirm whether or not the current themes that work for .20b will work for .21?

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
my EDS theme works great.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
"EDS theme"?? Is that one you made, or found? (I am always looking for new themes to 'spruse-up' my screen!!!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
it's this:

(click for DL page)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
OK....I remember seeing this one now, thanks for reposting, that is a slick skin!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] krzzz:
I'm not sure if it has to do with the fact that I have a lot of SMS's(some of my SMS convos have 500 msg's) or was something that the recently uninstalled vito SMS-chat did. But it seems like SMS's take forever to populate, I have an xv6700.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DvTonder:
There have been some minor changes in 0.21 that does not fully work with 0.20 themes- e.g. the new sms icon and the new confirmation menu that pops up when you delete a message on the contact screen.

Other than these seems that the themes are OK.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joao2307:
color

Sorry for the ignorance guys, but could someone tell me how to change it from white to black???

And would there be an option to change the letters from the left side to the right side??? To me it would help if I could change to the right side since i'm right handed. (Maybe a configuration screen for position of the letters, background color change, etc...???)

Thanks, and what a fantastic job you guys have been doing... my phone looks and acts so much better..

PocketCM 0.16 • Italian Localization & new theme

Hello,

I've only modified some fonts and colors.

I've aslo translated the language file for Italian users.

Just put them in the PocketCM folder and select them in the options panel.

PS: Please rename Italiano.lang.txt in Italiano.lang.ini.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Would you consider make this theme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I like the colors in bialetti's theme, but my question is this: can you skin this version with pictures? I would love to duplicate the skin I created for the previous version (a cool sci-fi/robot theme), but all the documentation I can find indicates color changes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Press the phone button (bottom right) for 400 ms, stay presssed, move to option, choose "theme...", select black.

It's possible, but it require some theming.

Making option screen for such option is unlikely to happen soon, the current solution would be to create a theme with index on the right, and use it. Anyway, index letter can be choosen from both side, even if it's not visible.

I'm alone you know
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joao2307:

Thanks Tene

Regarding changing the theme. done it...thank you.

Regarding the letter issue I did not realize that it was working on both side. GREATTT....Solved my issue.

And now about the comment about "you guys"...I was actually talking to everybody on this forum, for all the tools provided to us. Thanks a million.

And for U, the sole creator of this wonderfull PocketCM, fantastic job. well done, you make our life much easier.

Is there any way to stop PocketCM from handling Text Messages? Everytime I get a text message it opens pocketcm and I don't use pocketcm for txt messages. I have another threaded app that handles it better. Maybe in the next release there is going to be an option to disalbe SMS handling by PocketCM.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Azimuth21:
you can just delete smsintercept.dll from the pocketcm directory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] barrytytnii:
tene,

I just installed 0.16 on my TyTn II and I'm loving it really! My knowledge about software programming is fairly limited but I appreicate huge amount of effort you're putting into this project! Uber Kudo points man!

As everyone else, I have a few suggestions for the development, some I find more important than others.

1. An option to disable the soft keyboard when in landscape mode would great and real improvement. My TyTN II has a full querty keyboard which slides out when in landscape mode so when composing an sms, the soft keyboard still appears and is quite annoying because it is not necessary, especially since the space could be used to show multiple lines of the message or the message you're replying to rather than just a single line.

In portait mode, the single line entry field is also not very convenient for longer messages. Seems like the font size of the message being composed could be smaller to make more room for multiple lines, perhaps integrate a separate scroll feature in the compose area?

2. When using the phone keypad to search for specific contacts, the only way to view all the contacts again is to click on sms or favorites and then "all" again. Perhaps a button to clear the search field or a single click back to "all" would be better

3. The Back button when viewing a contacts details is not well aligned. It looks like 3ack because its too far to the left. If it helps my screen res is 240x320 EDIT - fixed this in the theme settings

4. By default, any physical address I enter without the country is by default United States of America, as I live in the Netherlands, this isn't the case but I see no way of disabling or changing this to another country or just having the address shown as entered.

5. An option to change the colors of the sms threading feature would be nice, the current colors in the black these are kind of depressing EDIT - fixed this in the theme settings

6. when viewing contact details, perhaps set it so that if an image is availble for a contact, just show the image and not the box outline like for those contacts that don't have an image attached to their name.EDIT - fixed this in the theme settings

Well,those are my suggestions and fixes, I hope you take them as they are and that you give me your feedback to them as well as I really do think this is simply nothing short of great work! You can definitly expect a donation for your effort!

BTW: whats the name of the font given in the contactdetails? I want to change the size of the font showing the mobile, home, email etc as some of the email addresses are too long and don't show the whole address

Thanks again

Barry from the Netherlands!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gthing:
As this software is time-bombed, is it safe to assume it will become a commercial app at some point?

I don't understand time-bombing it if it will not eventually be a commercial app.

And if so, that's fine - but why ask for donations if this is the case?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] c_shekhar:
@tene

the theming concept is changed all together. Well No prob. But, following are the observations after trying and fiddling with the theme..

The filter page list is left aligned by default. And there is no method with which it can be center aligned. I tried changing the listbox dimensions but, does not help.

When we click a city from the "by city..." option of the filter, it shows all the contacts belonging to that city. There is a requirement of back button here sothat I can go back to the list of cities. I have to go all over again to reach a different city. I could not find any option in the theming system for doing this.

To stop PCM from coming to the front, what would be the new command in CM v.16 . bring_pcm_to_front_on_sms=0 didnot work in the CM v.15?

I have modified the touch theme for v.16 which is available here for the enthusiastic users...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonegiven:
Love this version.

Two questions about the text messaging:

1. how do I make this the default text messaging app? When I get a text and it shows as "1 unread" on the today screen, I'd like to be taken to pocketcm to read the text instead of tmail.exe (the default messaging program)

2. is it necessary to have pocketcm running in the background or can I keep it closed when not actively in use?
