Just a question...

Why can the SIM contacts be copied over to the phone? I copied my SIM contact to a phone and stores it under SIM-US cat. I can then delete the whole cat if I do not want it.

Just a question....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chomphuhome:
:D:D:)Thank you very much for your work hard for good software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yeah, please give l3v5y's fingers a break... SIM contacts would require rewriting the contacts part completely. I think you should be storing your contacts online anyway (and not even on the phone). So SIM contacts are not a priority.

If somebody wants to give me a GSM phone with a SIM card (preferably HTC Touch Diamond), I'll add SIM contacts :) For that matter, if somebody wants to give me a VGA phone (Diamond works here too), I'll add VGA support too!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bouya_k:
Very good I like a look it lighter as PoketCM I prefere a lot

Thanks for this great job
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
Mohamad.. your edition with the config file made this a lot better.. but there is still one problem in my eyes.. the scrolling is almost ridiculous. you have to be very very very very gentle when clicking each contact, dialing each number.. clicking the back button, or adding a contact to favourites. even when i changed the scrolling threshold to 8... it was still a problem. i have no idea how burt did it.. but in his version this problem doesn't exist.

this is obviously an upgrade from burt's version speedwise and lookswise.. but the comfort.. is somewhat flawed.. excuse me for saying.

:)

good day
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chihliouma:
I guess burt version is more finger friendly, althought no photo included in the current version. But it's no doubt icontact just keep improving no matter which version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
But what's for those who don't have fingernails... ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I found a bug with iContact that in effect changes scroll sensitivity to 1 (highest sensitivity) if you're at the very top or very bottom of the list (A or Z) or if you're in details and the details don't take up the full screen. I'll release a new version as soon as possible, with a few more goodies too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darebak666:
..there is a bug for me,

in All Contacts page, I am for example on the name beginning with B, I mean the selection bar is on some name beginning with B, than I tap the icon for Letter Grid, because I want to move to some other name, for example the one beginning with W, and after I tap the W from the chart, the screen rolls to the W letter, but than when I use hardware buttons to scroll down or up, it starts scrolling again from the last previous selected contact(B)...

Is it possible to fix this somehow?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
We can't wait to get it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adjim1200:
Black call button still hard to press and the sms button needs to be separated and maybe when you press the sms button a confirm or back to contact list but beside that awesome app love it one of my favorites
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:

Translation to spanish

Translation to Spanish v 0.74 i-contact

Thank you for this software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Ok, I confirmed the bug. Should be easy to fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jkrj524:
I've noticed this as well.

Thanks subpro for finding the bug and working on it. Its much appreciated. Will wait for the fix. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jkrj524:
Yes, I've had the same issue so I'm looking forward to the new/next release! Thanks again for this subpro. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiagofa:
is there any way to remove the title bar ?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Alistair George:
Nice but couldnt seem to get back to contacts standard without uninstalling it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] im1badazchick:
Great work Supbro i love it!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Version 0.74 and higher installs a shortcut in your start menu/programs folder, "Outlook Contacts". You can run that to get to the standard contacts program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darebak666:
great, thanks in advance!! :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HSOC:
Hello and thank you for the wonderful program. :-)

The only strange thing is that the fonts (icons, bar too) are quite small, especially compared with the screenshots that I saw here. I am using the HTC diamond, and tried both the default and the diamond skin.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
That'll be because of the VGA...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HSOC:
Excuse my ignorance :-). Is there a way to fix this? Thank you.

iContact v0.742 beta

I've given iContact donors v0.742 beta to test out. I'll release it to the public in a couple days, after fixing the last couple issues.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shmilson:
Contact details not showing

First, let me congratulate you on this great piece of software. Lightweight, easy to use, nice on the eyes and after checking the sources a bit, pretty consistent on the coding too. Way to go!

And then the issue report: On 0.7.4.1 I get empty boxes for contact details, just the SMS button showing. And the Show Summary and Edit Contact appear as "Summary" and "ontact", as if a black control was being showed over them (i think the o on cantact is half drawn too)..

Installed and uninstalled, added Tahoma font from Windows XP to device (after find this is the font used on sources), changed skins, etc... When running on VS on a SDK device, everything seems fine. When I cradle and run on my TYTN, even on debug I get the same...

Have you ever seen this happen before? Known issue? Could this be fixed on 0.7.4.2??

Thanks and looking forward to a fix... ;)

PS: Found the culprit, I guess. On iContact.cpp, lines 1354, 1366, 1377 and 1395 when calling the ExtOut function you're using the ETO_CLIPPED constant as a parameter. After changing those to ETO_IGNORELANGUAGE everything is in order... I'm running a modified iContact 0.7.4.1 for now, but hoping you'd add this to your releases... Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hardcoil:
Thank you very much for this. I'm looking for forward to your VGA version. I hope you make provisions for adjusting the text size down, because once you get used to it, the small letters on a VGA screen is actually very efficient :)

I'm still having problems with the backarrow on the latest version by the way :) Any chance of implementing a gesture to go back from contact view to the list?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crapsite:
Exchange server?

I can't figure out how to search the Exchange Server with iContact.

Or at least, how to access the normal Contacts application??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eyecrispy:
Not sure if this is a bug or not - but here in the states, I'm able to dial #674# (or similiar number) to check my text usage, minute usage, etc. When I user iContact to search for those numbers and select it to dial, it says that it can't complete the call.

Can this be fixed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fidalgos:
My Portuguese translation to icontact 0.741

My litle contribution to the portuguese people... dont forget change in settings.ini the Language to Portugues

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I've never heard of or noticed that bug before. The ETO_CLIPPED is there for a good reason: so text won't overlap. Try this: On the line preceeding the ExtTextOut, write this line:

DrawRect(hdc, &rClip, RGB(0, 255, 0));

This will display the clip region in green. Use different colors for different clip regions. I've just tried it on my phone and the clip regions on all the contact details are working correctly. If it's not on your phone, please send me a screenshot and I can try to figure out what's wrong. Removing ETO_CLIPPED, while it will not hide any of your text, is not the proper solution.

Here's an example of all the clip regions:

Thanks for the debugging info though :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruzzmz:
Do u want to integrate this will full screen caller id (receiving phone calls) in the future? it would be a neat add to ur wonderful app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] infimis:
this program is dope!!! works fine everything feels snappy. nice upgrade from the older icontacts around here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I think S2U2 already does a great job of this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arielp:
thank you for the software.

compared to 0.73 ,

now it seem so hard to 'back' and to select contact. the list keep moving a bit when my finger try to select.

(not happening in 0.73 - Apache 6700 - 6.1 helmi_c)

overall much more snappier
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shmilson:
Clipping not working...

Showing the rectangle with clipping dimensions showed the right areas, meaning the problem is not with the clipping dimensions (rClip) (got the same as your picture), but with the clipping itself, made by ExtTextOutW Win API function.

Any combination of flags I tried together with the CLIPPED flag would render the same problem (attached a CLIPPED screen with and without colored rectangle).

After reading a bit about it, I've found out that this is a not so well documented API function, I see that there's a fair amount of questions (mostly no answered) on the internet regarding RTL languages and those flags (Hebrew and Arabic).

I agree that there must be some clipping of text so it doesn't overflow the designated boxes. I'll try to rewrite that code block such that I can calculate the clipping needed before sending it to the ExtTextOutW function and then not use the ETO_CLIPPED flag there. Or find out how to properly use the function with RTL text. I hope I'll have the time. ;)

Well, I'll keep trying and for now I think I'll just have to modify source codes from newer releases to omit the ETO_CLIPPED flags and live with overflowing text if such appears (couldn't find none until now, maybe I'm just lucky..)..

Thanks again and regards!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruzzmz:
yup it does ... but dont u want it also ;)

BTW S2U2 always hangs on wakeup on my dev :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Oh, you didn't mention that it was RTL. I could see how there might be some issues with RTL phones. Although that looks like a really weird place to clip the text.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shmilson:
It happens on non-RTL as well.

Strange thing is that most of my contacts are in English, no RTL whatsoever. And still, the strange clipping. Until now, the only thing that works is getting the CLIPPED flag out, which isn't a good solution as you mentioned before... Anyway, I'll update you if I find anything else that works...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrbelvedere:
Just wondering if it can be fixed? Not really a dealbreaker though. I love the upgrades to this version over previous versions! Good job potna!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
i love icontact and its skinnableness.

i got to be skinned reall nice with the reast of my theme on my phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I just tried it on my phone, Sprint allows me to dial *4 to check minutes, and that worked. I think the ##646# numbers are a feature of the dialer itself. Does dialing ##646# from the normal outlook contacts app work correctly, or does it just work when you dial it on the keypad?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jkrj524:
Thank you very much! :) Looking forward to it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] borneoeye:
Hi, I have just downloaded the latest iContact. It works great and I love it. However in my right soft key (HTC Touch) it was set to "\Windows\iContact" but this exe the old version of iContact after I start my phone,It ok after I exe the new i Contact programme. Can anyone tell me how to point it to the new iContact after I satrt the phone? It stored in my storage card,programme files,iContact. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pisca:
Look for Key Swap and change your right soft key, quite easy to handle, browse and get Icontact
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] borneoeye:
Thanks but I am using phm regedit, any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jgriffin100:
werks good

werks great on my t-mobile wing..letters are in the far right corner,,looks like a keyboard, love the call history but how do i delete the log..maybe ill play around and figure it out. thanks and great werk..tmobile wing, open touch 4 biggy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cdhigh:
a good software, I felt happy using it, although I don't like its dark color.

I propose a useful feature: supports contracts stored in SIM card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] im1badazchick:
when you go into your call history from your dialer options you delete it and then the call history in icontacts will be deleted
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mugsy77:
New version is excellent, but I tend to agree with issues if you don't have fingernails or use pen often. Much more difficult to select type of number (mobile/office/home) when selecting a contact to call. Would be nice to either have a version for finger and smaller for pen/fingernail folks... Thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
It's skinnable! :)

On the SIM contacts front, I have said many times that it is a hard, and large feature to code. If supbro wants to add the feature, he will add it to his to do list. He is aware that people want it, and asking for it again is not going to make it more likely...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] newtonik:
Call History takes awhile to load

This is my first try using iContact it seems really cool. Trying to get used to it. I have a couple questions.

1. What is the best way to minimize it (ok button)?

2. My call history takes a couple minutes to actually load after I select the call history button. Is this a known issue? my device isn't that slow. Then sometimes it usually freezes after I click around call history a few times. Any Ideas what I am doing wrong...I am going try reinstalling.

I am using the latest version 0.741

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mailslot:
But it works as the Close button that a lot of people wish to see. :)

So the only thing remained is just take skin.png and draw Close instead of Recents :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 2manyphones:
I like it, but....

I agree the ABC button was what made icontact different and I like that.

Issues:

On my Touch XL, when I use the right side to scroll to a letter and let go, it selects the contact that my finger was on. Meaning I just want to go to the "N"s but it will open a "M" contact because that was where I let go. Not like the iPhone, PocketCM or even Random Access.

When using the right side scroll, after you let go and it selects a contact, the big letter stays in the middle of the screen.

I have one contact that will not remove itself from the Favorites. I figured out the + and - to add or remove from favs, but this one contact stays in favs even with the - in the contact.

For closing or minimize, I would suggest pressing the battery icon to close the app and pressing the end key to minimize. This would be consistent with most other WM apps.

I REALLY like the look beter than V6 and the ability to customize. Nice job adapting from the orriginal. Maybe a V.7.2 of your work would be perfect. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j.a:
Great work on the app! Love the "snappy feel" of it now.

The downside for me is the removal of the ABC Grid, imo that was one of the best parts of the app.

Also using the "scroll" get kind of bugging especially when scrolling the letters from z to a (bottom up). It/I always seems to mis-click on contacts.

+1 to Bring The Grid Back!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] simonte:
any simple, white theme?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Looks great! Can I also use it in my ROMs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrEous:
Good job! Good to see someone taking it upon themselves to update the program. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pauldgroot:
I would love to theme it only I also would love to have the ABC back otherwise it aint no use to me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
it would also be great if we could modify it to change it's theme between day and night.. like the modified 0.6 one.. and to close after placing a call.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Couple of things!

I've noticed the language part of the "theme.ini", but would it be possible to add something for the "Add New Contact" for localisation?

Also, any chance of AppToDate support? I will happily help on that front, but since this appears like it's actively going to be developed, it would be a great way to roll out updates!

http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267098/developers-how-to-include-apptodate-support-basic/

Anyway, thanks for updating this app! :D

I'm loving the letter of the block of names being shown at the top of the page!

EDIT: Is there anyway of changing the size of the text under the recent calls tab? When it pops up with "Yesterday" it's far to big for the screen! Also more on the development side, (not sure about C++ at all) would it be possible to include a dialpad purely for this program? Perhaps change what it's linked to to my own, dialer (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2230491&postcount=1) to suit the finger friendly ness of this app?

EDIT2:

In this, the names are cut off at the end, when there is more space towards the left... Is this editable?

Edit3:

In landscape mode, the text is cut off at the same point, and (unlike the top bar) the bottom bar of buttons is not drawn to fit the width...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lamandrion:
a wm2003 compatible version would be cool!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TacoLoco:
+1 for the abc bar and for a vga compatible version! the 0.6 version scaled up on my vga device but this doesn't.. but it loads a lot faster and I also like the top bar very much.. so please please :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
+2 that is what I wanted to say :D

- ABC selection icon to replace voicemail (I can access voicemail on the dialpad by holding 1).

- Keep the ABC scrollbar but fix the time limit (or whatever) it takes to click on a contact as it opens one when I release. It is very buggy.

- Give an integrated menu option to change the background to a user selected picture (see current ThumbCal for this).

- Not only does it need a method to close (tap top right to close, or a menu option to exit). But it also needs a way to automatically close after making a call or clicking on SMS to send a text. There is no reason to have it remain open after.

- Show contact pictures.

Thanks again to the developer for continuing this great software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NiteStalker:
Although its a nice release, has alot of eye candy, it is not "iContact" you have gone a separate path from the original author. You should have renamed it, technically its not "iContact 0.7" since you didn't actually Develop the other versions, you started a variation.

As you may have noticed in some of the previous posts people are addressing feature issues like you originally created them, then removed them (i.e. sorting/browsing keyboard).

Also by naming it "iContact 0.7", you have basicly taken the project form "larna" so that he would have to rename his next version so as to keep it from being confussed with yours.

Larna was nice to make his sorce code available, but I doubt he excpected to have his project taken from him like this.

Just my thoughts on this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Splal:
I have multiple email accounts that I would want to send from, can you make an email select when you click on an email address.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gman8966:
+1 to basically everything that he pointed out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Trekvogel:
I liked 0.6 but it still had some things I missed from PCM Contacts. This version does all I want. It's fast and just does what it should do, great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That scrollbar bug is fixed in my working copy... I'll try to get it published as soon as possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Someone please send me better icons! I'm not an artist. I will gladly replace what's there, as long as it matches the "HTC Style" theme.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] curious george:
will there be a sort by category in any future realease or contact pictures?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TacoLoco:
is it much work to make this vga ready? i'm also willing to help cause the 0.6 is starting very slow on my device..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
New Version Available!

A new version of iContact is available, version 0.75! I originally planned to make it v0.742, but there were more larger improvements that needed new screenshots. The coolest feature is threaded call logs. The other most visible feature is that favorites are denoted by a yellow font (in the default skin), and missed calls are denoted by red text ala iPhone.

Also, due to popular demand, I decreased the click sensitivity, so pressing with your finger should be less problematic.

Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] balane:
Very nice. This is one of the very few modifications I've made to my Touch. Is it possible to close the contacts when finished instead of just minimizing it to memory? I like to run things lean so an option to exit completely out of the program would be nice. Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Thank you for the nice work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yeah, update settings.ini, and change the ExitOn* settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shadowmike:
I just want to say thank you. this works great on windows mobile 6 standard. Good job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JudasD:
iContant is now perfect! After the touch sensitivity change on .75 it now works great! I am hooked!

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yang78:
I think there is a bug in 0.75

chinese version(translate lng file.):

1.when change between callhistory and FavoriteCategory,it quit.Work well on 0.74

2. when added to FavoriteCategory,it didn't show at favorite page,work well on 0.74 version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dzign-it:
Is 0.75 VGA yet?

You mentioned you would aim to get it working on VGA screens for this version, now i see its not your aim for the next version.

With the recent rush of htc diamond users, we really need this contacts for our phone! :-)

Many thanks if it can be VGA!

PS: Or is there any VGA themes available that iv missed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nickles96:
by far, this is the best contacts app i have found. so glad to have come across this !

question - i have many contacts stored with a 'company' phone number. this company number field doesn't display when you bring up a contact.

you have to tap the 'show summary' button in order to see it.

is this by design? could that be changed somehow in the .ini settings?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lvjian123ok:
i like it very much .and i just want to know if you can help me to improve it to send messages by sms -chat .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lvjian123ok:
I think that if icontact can send messages like that how winter face does.Can anybody help me ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] forforce:
still no vga support! :( too bad befouse is a great app but i can't use it
