This is really an AWSOME application. I don't get it why HTC used such a lousy standard contact-book
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicus:
Hi,

I'm from Switzerland and i use your app a long time smiling smiley

Sometimes i get some MMS (Picture Messages) from my friends and they appear in a different "Contact" (Service Nachrichten -> Confirmation for delivered Messages). Is this a known Bug or am i the only one with this "problem"?

Thanks for Help and keep it up!

Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
Well ill start by telling you that pocketcm is a very good app and it is very usefull,

Then i would like to ask you Tene/Quentin if you could plz remove EVERY SINGLE BUG by the next release,

im getting a little bit sick of all the bugs I am getting, you keep implementing new features, but i think you should pay more attentions to making bug-free app

o and i know this is still beta,

I will see what you will do with this statement,

i wish you the best!

cheers!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilbosb:
:D

don't use it then.. honestly..

would you like the moon on a stick too?

I would just like to go on record as saying that I very much like the application and completely understand that is is a beta 'work in progress' - therefore I'm happy to accept the odd inconvenience..

great work guys..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Juhp:
I'd like Tene to focus first on peace on earth :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
short answer: LOL

longer answer: what are you expecting? do you believe bug are just thing that get fixed by snapping the finger? do you believe bugs are intentional? or that I decide to not fix them? and you? what are you doing for pocketcm?

Well, but I'll listen to you, I promise to try that, if you remove every single imperfection in the ... well sorry EVERY SINGLE imperfection in the bug report, make sure EVERY SINGLE BUG report contains a way to reproduce them in every case, a clean description of what's happening and what's expected, and make EVERY SINGLE test required after, to make sure EVERY SINGLE BUG get fixed according to your wish...

To the other guys, to those that supported me through paypal, to those whose spend lot of times creating quality theme, localizing, to all those who spend time with really bugged version, or promoting pocketcm... well I'm sorry, I had some pretty nice new feature for 0.19 (see http://www.pocketcm.com/phorum/list.php?21 ) and was designing some of the long waited feature request, but I have to fix EVERY SINGLE BUG by the next release, so... sorry guys ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wilbosb:
looking good tene.. looking good.. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
seems like my post caused some reactions, hehe:p

and tene, good humur haha

but i think i didnt express myself too well, because i do love pocketcm and i just wished it was all bug free, but maybe, it was a little rude just asking by that,

o and this suddenly comes because im making a theme and sometimes i get pretty annoyed,

cheers!

MMS

Any ideas, I think this program is superior to the standard program especially with the conversation view sms. However I lose my option to send an MMS picture message from the options of the program from ppcgeeks I installed, does this program have any mms support? Or do I have to uninstall this program every time I want to send a picture message then reinstall it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonegiven:
Just be sure that it's the single greatest theme ever designed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gelf:
yup got this one too - still an awesome app
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
in verison .19 how bout some notified icons for voice mail, miss calls, etc. maybe like sms notify icon. Also on the info bar add time and date too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] masterdnater:
anybody else having issues use pcm keyboard with .18? that is the only keyboard i am willing to use and it makes .18 useless to me lol :confused: :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atulhyd:
Hi Tene,

Love the program... Have been using it on my Wizard for ages now.

Ver .18 generates errors in the SMS send option... I assume you must already have heard enough of this and corrected it ;-)

One thing that's not working for me since the beginning is "View Contact" option. This only shows a blank screen and I have to go to Edit Contact to read through all the info reg that contact. Do u face this with others also or is it just me? I'm running WM5 on the wizard. I think I would make this my default contact app if this one feature was corrected.

Thanks for a really great application.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
on the contact screen, tap the contact picture (or the place where it would be if there was one), select view contact.

Other option: press the phone button for 500 ms, stay pressed, move the the left, select "WM Contact", you've got the old contact app, no need to uninstall.

And no, there's no MMS support in PocketCM, it's not planned in the short term.

*Never* assume anything, how can I be sure what you're talking about? In fact, I'm not sure at all

That's the prob with assuming, I got no more feedback about it since 0.11 something like that, so I assumed it was fixed. (because of course, for me, it works and has always worked)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Switchcorp:
The "View contact" is working like a charme on my Touch :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qtek_metanol:
Hi Tene,

Very nice program, Is there a solution about the rivaling applications problem between PocketCM and the Biotouch..?? when I start the contacts via Biotouch open the PocketCM very normal and I can see the pics of the contacts, but when I go back to the Biotouch (the screen with the favorites) the pictures of the contacts are gone.

THX in advance

with pictures...!!!

opening Touch, everything is normal, then I go to the contacts through this window

open the PocketCM very normal and shows the pics, but getting back to

Touch

the icons disappear, Biotouch gets stuck until I close PocketCM in the Task Mngr.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KyleK29:
Obviously with the problems with the HTC Keypad/Board (I get all sorts of bugs). Is there a way to make it so that when you go to a contact and select "SMS" it'll just launch the Windows Default SMS handler with that persons contact info filled in? This might be a good option in the settings panel.

And yes, I did search and didn't see this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rononymous:
appreciation

wow, Tene thanks that really helps. this program is amaz-er-ing... (so great I had to insert another syllable to magnify its greatness) :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextturnpls:
I'm using pocketcm contact 0.18 with the default Touch theme on a Prophet WM5 AKU 2.0.

I noticed that CPU utilisation stays at 100% as long as pocketcm is loaded (whether it's visible on screen or is minimised). As soon as I kill it, CPU utilisation drops to normal i.e. idle.

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrGalione973:
my guess on it is because it is a running background process that is waiting to intercept a text when it comes... that is my take, but i could be wrong... sorry if i was no help at all :-(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
what should happen: at load time, it takes 100% cpu, until every contact is fully loaded with picture. The loading thread is lower priority, so it doesn't prevent your device to do something else, another process will have higher priority.

Once everything is loaded, it shouldn't use 100% cpu when idling.

there is no active background process for SMS, that's why I need smsintercept.dll.

Another thing is that animation try to show the maximum fps, so they take full CPU if available (which make sense, why using less when you can have more?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextturnpls:
Sorry for the false alarm Tene! It works as you say. But on my slow Prophet and with 1000 contacts, it seemed to take a long time. Later on it did drop back to idle as you said.

To everybody else, as this program doesn't take a lot of memory makes sense to keep it in the background to avoid the overhead of loading contacts at startup.

Tene, is the overhead due to loading contacts? What if we say "Don't show picture?" That should speed it up right? I thought it could be due to the sorting & grouping of the SMS by phone number and then by last sent/received. Yes?

Thanks for a great program!

Looking forward to v0.19 (when you have the time)!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextturnpls:
Tene,

On my prophet WM5, it needed a soft reset after install to be able to work well. When I installed and launched v 0.18 without a soft reset, it worked with lots of "bugs". Might be worth highlighting this on pocketcm.com
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextturnpls:
Tene, I'm using Prophet AKU 2.0 on OEM's WM5.

I don't encounter this error - SMS send works fine.

[Edited]: On second thought, I just did encounter a problem. So it doesn't always happen.

Seems like it happens if I'm trying to send an SMS to a contact who currently has no SMSes (not sure).

Will let you know when I get more info on it.

Yes I have the same problem on my Prophet. Summary tab is Blank but Notes tab display correctly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextturnpls:
v0.18 on prophet WM5 using default Touch Theme:

Setting "Show Favourites Icon" causes favourites to show up as white space (can't see text). Does not happen with Iphone-ish v2.6.

From threaded SMS screen, click "Select Number" from drop-down menu. The text for the numbers is wrong e.g. menubutton.(M) etc. Happens with Touch & Iphone-ish v2.6 themes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextturnpls:
v0.18 cab install puts a shortcut file pocketcm.lnk in

\windows\startmenu.

Instead the shortcut should be placed in:

\windows\startmenu\programs

Currently it forces out 1 of my choice of 7 programs that always appear on the Start Menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DvTonder:
Show fav icon problem with the touch theme is a bug in the touch theme - tene posted the fix over at the pocketcm forum.

Just noticed the Menubutton.(M) you mention above - I doubt it is a bug with my theme but I will look into it. Seems more like a pocketCM bug

DEAD - 0.18 kills SMS service

Posted by: S0NIC ()

Date: January 11, 2008 03:06PM

Hello!

I'm using 0.18 with the HTC P3600 Trinity and WM6. After the installation I've the follwing Problems:

- It's impossible to receive new SMS messages

> The PPC switches on, but there comes no notification and the message gets lost!

> Deinstallion doesn't fix the problem, only a hardreset helps!

- SMS can't be send via normal WM6 interface

> I have a SMS stuck inside my outbox

> Via PCM it works!

Found via google...

> "I have a sms stuck inside my outbox for 30mins until someone sends me a sms which seems to wake up the sms from outbox to sent...." [64.233.183.104]

It seems to be the same, but my messages are never transmitted

-Deleting the smsintercept.dll doesn't solve the problem!

-> Is the modification for the send button delay the reason?

-> What has been changed in the WM6 Registry?

(I don't like the hardreset as workaround.)

-> What has happend to my incomming messages? Are all messages realy lost?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drpiety:
can I se pocket CM as my standard SMS Phone App? Can HTC home be altered to use Pocketcm?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
One possible bug I have found in this current version (0.18) is that occasionally some contacts will disappear on me. I leave PocketCM running in the background, and occasionally I go to look up a contact to call them, and it just is not there. I close PocketCM totally, and run it again, and usually (took two times last night) the missing contacts are back after PocketCM is up and running again. I have to admit to a partial cardiac arrest the first time it happened LOL, but now that I know it is more of a minor (and I do stress MINOR) inconvenience. I just thought I would bring it up here.

Other than that, things are working great!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nextturnpls:
v 0.18 on prophet WM5:

1. If I initiate the SMS conversation i.e. by sending an SMS to a contact, the "Contacts with SMS" screen doesn't get updated to reflect this contact at the top of the list. In fact he doesn't appear at all until I receive an SMS from him.

Believe this should not be the case.

Even the following day, after a soft reset, this contact with SMS sent but none received is still not shown on "Contacts with SMS" screen.

2. Minor additional functionality request

From theaded sms screen or "Contacts with SMS" screen, can't view/edit contact details.

Would be good to have this.

Reason:

Sometimes you receive an SMS that says, "Hi, my number/email/address has changed. Pls update your records".

What you need to do:

a. Highlight and copy the contents of the SMS

b. Launch Edit Contacts

c. Paste the text into appropriate field. Save and return to pocketcm contacts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Benne:
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but when I use your (really great) application to write sms pocketcm don't suggest any words. (I'm using the included soft-keyboard)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
what do you call the included soft keyboard? there's not really an "included soft keyboard" in PocketCM Contact.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ssj5trunks:
Hi tene, u use c#, VB or waht for develop this application?

I use VB but i cant find the way to remove the picture in a contact, can you give me help, please?

Bye
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
Is anybody else having a problem with ringers with this app. I love it & have been using for awhile now despite this issue but not sure if I will continue. When I get a text message it dosen't ring with ANY ringers.. it only gives a notification saying I have a text. So unless my phone is always on and viewable I won't know if I have a message.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] appelton:
Before I install the newest version : Can anyone tell me if there is a way to keep that old default HTC TOUCH SKIN ? Or is it now only that new colour skin ?

Hi,

great app - but i can't seem to be able to make a contact a favorite. What am I missing?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
on the bottom there is a picture of a man...push that & it brings up a menu with favorites being an option.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattbaum:
you're right, in my opinion the best app so far.

What i am missing in this aplication:

1. send a sms to more then one contact

2. forward a sms to someone

3. paste text from another application into an sms
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
anybody else?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
check your notification option, PocketCM Contact does nothing with SMS notification but let windows does the job. If you don't have it configured in windows mobile, no sound.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] argosafe:
Hi, I can see where favorite contacts would be found, BUT I can;t change a contact INTO a favorite!. Can anyone help?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Benne:
the windows soft keyboard in HTC Elf. But I have the same Problem with eyery other soft-keyboard exception TouchPal
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Click on the contact, and on the contact info page click on the picture (or icon) the drop-down menu will have the choice 'add to fav.' (third choice down).

Good luck

I have experienced the same bug on all versions of pocketCM :(to date there hasn't been fix for it, I have posted this issue in this forum http://pocketcm.com/phorum/list.php?15 with each new version I'm hoping tene will fix this bug!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] qtek_metanol:
It works smoothly now, try to install and uninstall the app and restart some times the device.

Now I'm very satisfied with it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
Hey guys I'm sure this is posted somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Is there anyway to make PocketCM the default sms handler? Everytime a text comes through, it reads in the program and also the default on the phone. Is there a way to disable it from using the default as I would like for it to come through pocketcm only. Thanx for any help with this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
i have recently tried the new pocketcm .18 and...the scrolling does not seem near as smooth as the scrolling in .15. when it gets to the end of the scroll cycle it just stops instead of smoothly slowing to a stop.

also (i searched for this but didn't really find anything), i noticed it still says .17 at the top in the options dialog. i thought i saw somewhere that that was a minor "bug" i guess, but i couldn't find anything on it again. is that a known bug?

THANK you for your GREAT work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
0.19 is up, have fun

to answer the future question:

- YES it breaks theme, you'll have to adapt.

- YES it's development version, expect bug and issue related to any new version.

- and YES you didn't get the feature you wanted since 0.01, but that's live ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gfreek:
Tried that no luck! even with the new PocketCM 0.19:(

great new cm features in 0.19 version ... however where does my picture go when i see it in my favorites but is missing when i click on any of my favorites in the next screen? here are 2 screen shots on my HTC PPC 6800 thanks again!

Dream Theme

Not sure if this is by design, but when I installed pcm19 the dream theme found it's way into programs folder but not pcm folder. All works great so far, loads fast scrolls nice and feels nice. Thanks Tene for the re-working. When will you just stop and say "it's finished"? What next?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] christophe.taranotte:
hi,

thank you for this program.

Using 0.19 now and no bug to report so far

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
It would be interresting to proper settings list.

I've been trying to make the most useful things appear on first page directly, then the things I use. If you need other field, propose a place and order (and not only something that suits your specific needs, something that could become the default).

Hey tene, great work on the alpha blending.. looks gorgeous! Can't wait for those who can make a more "complicated" theme. :D

Bug report: It often crashes on the SMS page.. can't really isolate the reason.. it just closes itself most of the time I get on the SMS page.

Still using the stable 0.15 version for now.

Updated to 0.19b, no big change, but some important bug fixed.

What's new in 0.19b?

- Added a button near company/city edit field to select value from existing contacts

- Tweaking and fix in the theme

- Bug fixes (DWORD alignment on blt, and alpha blt, clipping bugs, update contact detail after edit, ...)

- Fixed a bug that cause cached to not be recreated correctly

- Fixed a bug that cause some image to be stretched instead of blitted, you should see a huge performance improvment in some theme
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Azimuth21:
hi tene, thanks for v.19b, i will start using it over .18 when DvTonder updates his HTC-ish theme. one thing i'd like to inquire about, though, is whether you can add something like a command line switch to pocketcm. there are lots of places where i'd like to link directly the PocketCM's Sms page, and i currently have no way of doing so. thanks again for the program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
can you make a clean post about it on my forum (feature request), and elaborate about it.

Ideally:

- a list of required command line (and even proposed paramter name)

- a list of "could be cool" command line

- a list of nice to have command line.

So I could at least implement list 1, while keeping list 2 and 3 as evolution.

what command should do, in what condition, etc... for instance things like: if I run it through command line while it's already on front, should I switch? or only on some condition, etc...
