PrimeContact Question

"The use of legal copy of Primetech Contacts is possible only on the device with Product Code, which was used to generate an activation code. Should you change you device or buy a new one you will also have to purchase another copy of our software."

So if I replace my phone I have to purchase a new copy:( - but not if I flash a new ROM?

Has anyone purchased this - how is it on Memory? I cooked it in from the PPCKitchen and liked what I saw, but since I couldn't dial with it I passed along. Doing a little research I see that they changed it to a commercial product. By loading the store site in Bablefish I'm at least able to determine a bit more - looks like 200 Rubles should be about $8.50 - can anyone confirm this?

I liked what I saw and at under $10 I'd certainly purchase it. If nothing else can't you setup a personal PayPal account to work with us on it? You also need to find some way to allow a customer to transfer it to a new phone - I seem to break mine occasionally.

How can we purchase this software?

You are losing many US buyers who can't get through the russian site.

Please help. Great program!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
PayPal account is now working. All information at this site.

English distribution will be soon, but in the meantime (for english version), rename LANG_ENG.CFG to LANG.CFG and edit formats in PrimeContact.cfg (all files are usually in the \Program Files\PrimeContact).

Version 1.10 avaliable at this page

Changes:

1. Added favourites! ("star" now using (in new skins) for send contact to favourites category)

2. Many fixes in CallerID

3. New skin in distrib

Warning: update (reinstall) reset Activation Code. Don't forget to save your code

32.00 US dollars? Are you sure this is correct? I thought the conversion came to about 8.50 USD. If not you are way over priced. Chad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Othelious:
Ok,...

so.. if we can do it on the Russian site

200 Russian rubles = 8.54700 U.S. dollars

but by paypal?

€ 19.99 = 31.646169 U.S. dollars

Why would it cost us 4 times as much?.. that is WAY over priced.. if you want to sell this product.. you should keep equality in pricing.. charging your country mates one price, and people outside your country 4 times that price for the same product, with no added shipping costs or anything is totally outrageous. Good luck in your endeavors... I know many people that won't be one of your customers ( including myself ) until you even this out a bit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lupes5:
yeah umm...$32 is outrageous
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pocketdoc:
What happened to the web site? "Server not available".

Just got my new XV6900 and cannot get this app!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
Technical problems solved.

Fully english PrimeContact 1.10 CABs and ZIPs at "head"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Just looked at the site and the following struck me as odd

If i change my device why should i have to buy the software again. Fully understand if it is an additional device, but for a replacement?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pocketdoc:
Great program, but for those of us living in the States (with the weak dollar), it sure is expensive.

I am still waiting for an activation code. Why does it take 3 days? Do you have to do these by hand?

Keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AdamR:
I may very well be missing something obvious, however, I have installed/uninstalled PrimeContact twice now. When I try to launch the application (whether through the dialer, Contacts, or the executable itself) I get the loading screen, the progress bar completes, and then I'm back to where I was. It just won't load...

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rmkali:
"32 ... Who? What?"

Surely, the BIGGER problem is the $32! Gas is $4+ per gallon and you want us to pay 8 times that for a novelty software item for a smartphone?! Couple this with reportedly slow and paltry customer service and i'm sadly disappointed that this is what we've come to!

I'll purchase when it's no longer a "luxury" item. Back to PocketCM, until then.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lupes5:
give me a fair price and ill buy this in a second...until then, icontact works great for me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Othelious:
I fully agree.. as I have said before, and many others as well, ~$32 Bucks is WAY to much for this when if we could use the Russian site your charging ~$8 bucks.. In our country this is known as Highway Robbery...

Get consistant on your pricing ( and that means lower the paypal price, not raise your russian price ) and you will sell ALOT more copies of this product.

PrimeContact,

You wrote:

in the 4pda.ru site.

I tried the above for sending SMS through vito SMSChat, but with no success. It opens the SMSChat program, but it doesn't call the specific contact I want to send an SMS (it just stays in the first screen of the SMSChat program).

Could you provide any help please?

Thanks in advance

After sales support?

Where is the after sales support for non russian speakers???

Is someone going to give me a simple answer to my question?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
jolas, hi. A solution was recently:

Send_SMS_application.path=\Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe

Sens_SMS_parameters.format=open:%p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
PERFECT!!!

Hi PrimeContact,

I did the above and I have to say that...

YES IT'S WORKING!!!!:D:D:D

Thank you very very much for the solution.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] keko001:
it does not work well for me mean the names are not possible to click

or the alphabet letters are not staying in the picture also the settings, this is a problem that I have or more people ?? and i dont see the other picture that you let see ??:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimllfixit:
There seems to be a lot of Beta testing going on for a product that you have to pay for. How about it is released free of charge until a finished version is available, otherwise i am stickig with iContacts.

BTW it does look a very nice app, and has loads of potential.

Keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Kumatchy:
How about Japanese?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
I changed my device to the Touch HD.

I tried Primecontact using the key which I used with my vodafone v1640, but is not working (it seems it is unregistered).

I have bought primecontact (see post 168).

Is it possible to pm me a new registrating key, please?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
I sent You a mail
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
Can You download ZIP-version, unpack and run it? If it don't help You, can You change parameter "Log_level=4" in "\Program Files\PrimeContact\PrimeContact.cfg" and after run show content of pc_log.txt here?

Thanks for your mail.

I sent you a mail, too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jolas:
I did send an email to Handango's support and I'm waiting for their reply.:o

Other than that, I have to say that I LOVE your program, and I believe that it is THE BEST contact manager that exists!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] terry0201:
Relly nice program! But I failed to generate Chinese Big5 charset with font_generator.exe. The font file is as the link below. Thanks a lot if anyone can help me.

http://www.badongo.com/file/12322992
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ebodu:
20 USD is too much for this application. 10usd should be enough.

The demo PrimeContact shoud have posibility to make some limited no of calls. How can I test if I like or not?

Exe file is packed with upx :) but modified

Icontact is slower but is very close and most important it's FREEWARE and in english
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
To improve loading time:

You can load photos after show main list: PrimeContact.cfg: Show_after_load_photos=0

You can disable the display of contact's photos: skin.cfg: Contact.has_photo=0, ContactInfo.photo=0

You can use skin without pictures: PrimeContact.cfg: Current_skin=skins\black_old_qvga or Current_skin=skins\black_old_vga
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
May be you need to select other charset. You can check generated fonts by *.bmp example.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] franjorge:
The generated *.bmp files do include the accented letters, the problem is that they are not shown.

I attach some of the bmp files, there you can find to the right of the image the á, é, í, ó, ú characters.

Fran
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
If you will attach PrimeContact.cfg and skin.cfg (of used skin), I can probably help, because what you say is very strange
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KidGixxer:
I tried to translate the comments in the cfg files into English. to the best of my ability. with an online translator, that is.

But some words will not translate. And others that do. Do not make sense.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
little corrected version of configuration files translate
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KidGixxer:
Thanks Prime.

Just a heads up for people that download the new cfg files when i uploaded the cfg files they were set to work in an oem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] franjorge:
Hi,

Here you have the files. Hope you can find the trick.

Uninstall?

Before I install and try it out.. just wanted to make sure if this uninstalls easily? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] guimau31:
I have a little problem. when i put the new skin.cfg, Prime doesn't work anymore ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Christian72D:
What is the code to generate a german font?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
New cfg file is only translate for example. Don't replace original cfg by translated version. Replace it only if you may correct all necessary lines.

Your skin.cfg has lines:

Font1=fonts\Tahoma[18].bin

Font2=fonts\Tahoma[12].bin

Font3=fonts\Tahoma[50].bin

Font4=fonts\Wingdings[25].bin

but your new generated fonts has other names. Replace lines by new names, or use fonts, generated by me: FONTS for other charsets

PrimeContact installing by simple zip archive decompress :) PrimeContact don't add or edit any Registry line :) Try boldly :)

Don't replace your skin.cfg by translated version, just copy comments from it, or use as example.

Try to replace all fonts from folder "fonts" of used skin by one of FONTS for other charsets. I do not know exactly what charset is needed for you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] franjorge:
I have created the fonts and it works perfectly now!!! Thanks for your help and for this very nice application.

Regards,

Fran

Landscape Mode!!! not working

Hi,

in the landscape mode.. the contacts does not change to landscape mode.. still it is in Portrait mode.. but strange. when i scroll in landscape mode. the contacts are scrolling....

in short in landscape mode the behaviour is of Portrait mode...

anyone with this problem
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
You can edit PrimeContact.cfg parameter ContactInfo.info.format=[Lastname: %l\n][Firstname: %f\n]...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
PrimeContact does not support Landscape mode.

It is only bug-feature :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] monamibouli:
when I select a category of contacts, nothing happen ???

thks for your help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jminor4326:
can you please explain how and where to load the font character or generator files. Also, how can the font size be enlarged when the pages have several different ones; and lastly what files (s) need to be placed where so a hard button can be used to activate the app. Thanks, I'm not familiar with dealing with cfg and bat files.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
so if contact has many numbers, it only displays mobile number?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vukile:
Skins...How do we modify/customise? can we disable the contact pictures? They look funny on my qvga.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KidGixxer:
Swipe your finger over the numbers <----> of the actual phone number to change the phone number.

You need to edit the skin.cfg files
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Vukile:
I used the dpad.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kull:
Nuthing happens...

I tried running both exes on my mobile nothing happened. Do I need to reset? Or anything else...???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
skin.cfg: Contact.has_photo=0, ContactInfo.photo=0

If you want to get high quality photo (without compress), you must add photos via PrimeContact instead of the standart contact editor.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lord-voldermont:
hi.. i really like your application, i was using other applications which is available in this site.. but it think yours is much better.. just it needs some more modifications like below:

1) After selecting the contact, i have to press the middle hardware button to open the contact, if possible please make it open with a tap on the screen.

2) Memory Consumption is around 3.2 MB, any possibility to reduce the memory consumption

3) Integrate SMS - I know your application is in beginning stages, but in future would like to see ability of sending SMS from your application.

4) Support landscape Mode.

Thanks.. i will stick to your application for the moment...

keep up the good work!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
You can also slide on contact to open contact. It is primary ability.	Perhaps in the future, the user will be able to choose the method of opening a contact

1. Set TripleBuffer=0 in PrimeContact.cfg

2. Use black_old_(q)vga skin, whitch contains no pictures (PrimeContact.cfg: Current_skin)

3. Don't use contact pictures in main list :) skin.cfg: Contact.has_photo=0

that is all I can suggest at this time

Perhaps in the future, along with CallerID (fullscreen draw contact photo on call)

It's not easy, but may be...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lord-voldermont:
Wow!!! fantastic that bought down the memory to 1.8MB.. i didnt use step 3 coz i want the pictures in the main list.. very much impressed..im sure this application will be a success...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] guimau31:
It works fine (enfin) on my PDA non phone, but i want to know if it's possible to not have the Green Call Button at the bottom of the screen (i never use it !!!), and is it possible to replace it by another phone number by example.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lord-voldermont:
No More Updates??

hi.. we did not hear from you for long time.. is there any progress in your application. when can we expect a new version..

Description for installing PrimeContact

Hi PrimeContact or others who succeeded to run this nice program !

Would you be so kind to explain the installation on WM 5 DELL Axim x51v (VGA). I tried with PrimeContact.exe*) in the "My Documents" folder, but it didn't start; tried as well with the img-64776-PrimeContact_gapi_compat.exe -> same result. I put as well the lang.cfg, the PrimeContact.cfg the skin.cfg and the blue_vga_skin folder in the "My Documents" folder.

*) from img-65029-PrimeContact_v0_54b_VGA_eng file.

When I started the second time I wondered why I saw an "installation" window for a short moment, but did not bring it to an end.

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

P.S. Actually I've about 60 programs installed on my DELL, mostly freeware with cab-files, but as well 5 PPC-exe-files, which I start from the "My Documents" folder.

jeanjacques
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonyrome6:
Completely lost on this one. Not sure how to install this. It's a .exe ending which I'm sure has to be ran from the computer but it gives me a winrar diagnostic message saying "cannot execute". Am i doing something wrong? Or is this a corrupted file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This seems like a real nice app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] star-star:
I really like the app,but it can not support Chinese:(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
You can make the font for PrimeContact from any Windows font (not unicode) and for any charset. All that you need is font generator.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Moe5508:
Will get to try this app for the first time. Seen some great reviews from quite a number of people. Well done for the hard work PrimeContact.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajk511:
how about some screen shots?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Christian72D:
Here two shots with the black skin which i prefer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] star-star:
yes,i used the font generator,but Chinese font can not be display.

i check the *.bmp,there is empty after the english letter and some symbols.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
If you give me any font supports Chinese, but non-Unicode, I will try to do something
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
Screen shots

Some screen shots :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
This program is awesome, I use it on my ppc, and I found that I can use it and on my smartphone in which is more usefull(the ppc haven't phone function). After I edit the button section in primecontact.cfg I can have access in the most of the functions, but seems that I cannot use the number keys(0-9, *,#) of smartphone' s keypad. I tried to assign the sms, mms, email functions to these buttons but they don't work. All other keys work. I know that this is a prog for touchscreen devices but because it works fine and for smartphones without touchscreen, can you provide support and for the number keys of keypad?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
Try to use the attached utility to determine the codes of numeric keys
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
How this utility works? If its to find out the codes for numeric keys, I already know them, its 49-57 for numpers 1-9, 48 for 0.

The problem is that these codes doesn't function in primecontact
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
Are you sure? May be codes from 96 to 105... Check it with keycode utility... and check these numbers...

I check all on emulator and it's work with numeric keys (48-57) and with numpad keys (96-105), but i haven't smartphone to say exactly :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
I checked both (48-57) and (96-105) but didn't work. I don't know how to use the utility, but I use smarttoolkit that has a function to define key shortcuts and from this prog I know that the (48-57) codes work for numeric keys(in smarttoolkit all function properly). But in prime contact they don't do nothing.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PrimeContact:
I found and fix few bugs :) But I'm not sure that it's help... :(

You need add three new lines to PrimeContact.cfg:

ContactList.key.send_sms=

ContactList.key.send_mms=

ContactList.key.send_email=

and replace your PrimeContact.cfg by attached to this message

ContactList.key.* work in main list

ContactInfo.key.* work in info window
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
Thank you!!!

Now the numeric buttons works, at least with the sms, mms, email. I don't test them in the other functions, but with this I can have access to all prime contact menus and functions so I can use it. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] guimau31:
I have a problem, the version 0.6b works great, but when i want modify my contactprime.cfg, to change the skin, or the number format, or something else, it doesn't work anymore. I can just change the lang.cfg in french.
