New Version Available!

Hello,

I'd like to announce the latest version of iContact, v0.74! I've been working hard the past month to make iContact more stable and to add a few new features while keeping the size and memory footprint as small as possible.

I've also done my best to address the most-requested features. If I didn't get to yours, it's probably because it got lost in the flood of emails. Don't be too harsh.

The main features I want to add in v0.75 are faster list load time, a proper settings editor, and VGA support.

I've worked really hard in my nights and weekends to bring you these new updates. If you like them, please consider a donation via my web site. As a thank you, I will give donors access to beta versions of iContact.

Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] !eon:
Very handy little program, definitely need to make a donation.

Keep up the good works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eyecrispy:
fantastic update! I'm seeing a strange bug - when I have the app up, I see the wifi icon in the top bar ... except I'm using a touch dual (niki)which does not have wifi :)

also, is there a settings menu? if so, how do I bring it up?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jembot:
Use of 3rd party SMS program

Hello,

Great app! Can we have the option (plus the exe parameter) in the config file to use a 3rd party SMS program instead of the built-in? like VITO SMS-Chat? I haven't figured out the the parameters to use when calling VITO SMS-Chat from another app but VITO Fun Contact does it. Have you tried it? It's cool and would be a great addition to your app. Maybe you could you also try to find out that parameter for us? :rolleyes:

Once done i'll definitely DONATE! Seriously. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That would be a pretty easy update, if SMS-Chat has a command-line interface. For instance, the normal command to send a new SMS is:

tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to "+18582345678"

If there's an equivalent command for vito sms-chat, that sounds like a good and easy enhancement.

Is there???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Do you have this value in your registry? If so, what is the value? This is where iContact (and S2U2, S2P) detects if WiFi is enabled.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\State\\Hardware\\WiFi
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] superflysocal:
Mine does this sometimes also (Sprint Touch, no wifi) with subpro and burt editions, especially since I upgraded to wm 6.1. i do not have that registry key you listed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eyecrispy:
nope, sure don't! I got excited and confused for a few seconds though! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Does iContact default to "on" if it can't retrieve an "off" value? You could make the installer create the registry entry...

Thanks for the new version! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] -Arturo-:
Great update it's defenitely faster than the previous one but it's less finger friendly...the "Details" screen is a nightmare. It takes me about 5 taps with my thumb to pick a number and was only able to pick an sms using my stylus. On the other hand the "All Contacts" screen is lovely it takes me one tap to get to the details screen so can we adjust sensitivity of the "details" screen to make it more thumb friendly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kasperok:
Great update.. but it seem to have some problem with finger friendly sensitivity..

In older version I use to slide down finger form the top to the botton to close or minimize iContact. Now that feature is not working anymore.. it keep opening details of the first contact in list instead!! Just a little boring :(

Anyway.. this is the Italian.lng

Awesome! I will test it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] franjorge:
I fully agree with Arturo: nice update, but it has become almost impossible to go back from one opened contact to the list of contacts only using the finger.

I do not know if it is something that can be solved with a new skin with bigger buttons.

Regards,

Fran
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
supbro, if i may:

there is certainly an AMAZING speed improvment. not only it responds faster when launched but the scrolling and the keyboard are amazingly smooth. also, it looks great and the pics addition is magnificant.

but

- this is really missing burt's config options. especially the onetouch dialing and the skin switching.

- you have to be percise to choose a contact.. while in burt's edition it's easier since it doesn't run away from you.

- in burt's edition you can click on History a few times to switch between Incoming, Outgoing..and so forth. it's a very important feature. (in my eyes, at least).

thanks for everything... this is turning out to be a really great application.. not to mention it's so light.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lsherif:
Hi ,

In addition to the missing features , there is also the Favourite feature which is in Burt Edition showing all kinds of favourites, Freinds, business, relatives etc... which is missing here, but overall this is a very nice & speedy application.

Thanks,

Review!

Until now I was using iContact Burt Edition v0.73BE5.1 and I loved it a lot!

With the new improvements I decided to give it a try!

Here's my review:

PRO:

- the new design looks awesome

- there's an enormous speed increasement

- the contact picture function is great

- the new arrangement for the favorite button (away with the '+')

- more information shown in the details

CON:

- there's no 'exitonaction' or 'exitonclose' like in Burt's Edition (is this possible via registry values?)

- the topbar is too small in the moment, there's no way to use the app with only your fingers any more

- hope there will be adress support soon

- caller list like Burt Edition; clicking for 'missed', 'outgoing' and 'incoming'

BUG:

- the closing of the application is not working correctly; it closes by pressing the battery icon, another time it can only be closed by pressing the time in the topbar?!

I've added the german language file for at least some of you!

greatz

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] forforce:
hi all, the program is great but I can`t use it ..the buttons are too small to use my finger and the text is the same ..can you please fix this? i have a VGA device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bkeaver:
excellent improvements. The only thing still missing in this app is away to exit out of it cleanly. The only way I can exit is to press the end call key which still leaves the process running then have to go into task manager and end it. Unless I am missing something...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rockfshr:
nice work. very smooth and fast on my titan. Thank you for the update:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 4s8kalz:
Very fast, but not so much finger friendly on my cruise...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No, it defaults to "random" right now :) I found the bug.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] prattner:
id like to request opening a new email with the recipients address already typed in when pressing the email address field from a contact page rather than just opening to the pocket outlook app.

otherwise great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes there is... it's in settings.ini.

Categories are planned for the next version.

What screen can you not click on the battery icon, and what happens instead of minimize?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It is supposed to find the email account name automatically, but sometimes that's not working correctly... so you can update settings.ini and change the setting:

EmailAccount=Gmail

to the (case sensitive) name of the email account you would like to use by default. Once it knows the email account name, the address will work properly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Thanks for your quick reply! But it already is clear to me, had another program running in background and it somehow messed up the device while testing your app. Clicking on battery minimizes/quits the app the way it should!

Keep up the good work!

sinoo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerkules:
This is the one thing that I have noticed with the new update, just extreme difficulty getting back to contact list from the details page. Otherwise...fantastic!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Did you just trust it to work? I noticed that the arrow and star were a pretty small click region, so I increased the size of the click region without increasing the size of the header bar. I've included an example of what I'm talking about. The red region is where you can click for the back arrow, the star, or the "+" in list view.

You could also use your one finger to press the "left" arrow on the d-pad :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rachbu:
THANK YOU!!!

Thank you so much! This is a great app! I really appreciate all your hard work!!

Does the right button add to favourites? (Just flashing yet another ROM)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] micool_21:
wow, this makes my old boring contacts seem more sexy. i think thats weird but i love this app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
First of all, great work with the addition of pictures!!!

I too am having trouble with the clicking back, the star, and the + buttons. A few times I have had to close the program just to get out of a contact. I will try again now that I know that you have made the click regions bigger.

A feature request I have...Is it possible to add a smaller picture next to the persons name in the contact list view and favorites view?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yeah, add or remove, the same as the +/- buttons in v0.73.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lordofworms:
dito

I too am having an issue with going back to all contacts after pulling up details. I realize that the touch field is bigger (thanks to th screenshot) but I try with my thumb and my finger,etc...maybe my fingers are pudgy.:)

and I am aware of using the left hardware key but strangely enough on my I760 its just hard to manage...have dropped my phone like 3 times trying to do this when in a hurry, or driving or whatever it is that I can only use one hand.

I liked the previous version where if you hit anyhere else that wasn't designated it would take you back, would this be re-implemented or was that a bug that i found to be a nice feature:D

maybe even clicking the picture could bring you back??

either way I am sticking with this new version as its very sleek I just wish I had a easier time with leaving the details page.

thank you for the hard work nontheless. don't mean to nitpick such an awesome app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
same here with the Details to All Contacts issue. But with the Favorites-Details-All Contacts, it works fine.

BTW this version loads much faster than the previous ones. Thanks Again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kasperok:
The enlarged tap area work fine now.. but I still have problem minimizing the application..

To minimize or close the app I've to slide down and up my finger from the top bar! If I just slide down my finger, as with the old version, the app will open details of contact right beneath my thumb!

Any suggestion?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ptfdmedic:
This works much better, however I am having MAJOR problems when trying to tap a phone number to dial. It doesn't matter where I tap most of the time it just bounces the screen up and down a bit and thats it. Then other times everything works just fine. I am using the Vogue and everything works but it takes me a bunch of taps just to get the number to dial... Any advice???????

I love this program but it's just not working correctly..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
I agree, when I try to tap on a contact in the list view and favorites view the screen just bounces up or down. Seems to me that the sensitivity for when it starts to scroll is set to low. If it was set higher, then it would allow you to tap on the contact, or dial the number instead of scrolling right away.

I also noticed that to tap on a favorite, I have to tap a little bit below the contact. I wonder if the tap area is messed up due to the top back arrow now?

I just installed the 0.741 and I can tap the back arrow now without any problems.

Thanks subpro, good job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
I'm amazed how fast you've cleared some bugs and delivered an updated version! It is awesome... Keep up!

For those of you, who want the app to 'exitonclose' and 'exitonaction' here's a modified settings.ini!

Just overwrite the existing one, but don't forget to backup the old one, if it's not working!

@developer

What do you think of icons instead of the text for 'Mobile', 'Work', 'Home', etc.?

Is that hard to realize as an option?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ptfdmedic:
I have found that the lighter I tap the better it responds. If I barely touch it it works fine.

problem with SMS button in version .741

first thanks for all your work on this nice program!

I just installed version .741 hoping it would solve the problem I had with .74 which is when I tap/touch the SMS button on a contact the screen jumps (scrolls) instead of launching SMS. I can eventually get the SMS screen but it takes about 10 taps for it to get there meanwhile the missed taps make the screen scroll around. I am thinking the SMS button settings are too small.

Using on a TYTN with Schaps 6.0 rom

I did not have this problem at all with ver .73

As has been mentioned many times (mostly by me...), this kind of functionality requires a lot of extra code, and I think that supbro is probably going to focus on the UI, loading times, and stability more than something that will require a lot of code for relatively few gains, especially when you can very easily import the contacts into Poutlook.

Tap the sms or the tel # by finger is difficult

This is one of the best apps for ppc i've come across but it needs a bit improvement in usability.

Like others have reported too its pretty hard to tap the sms or the tel # by finger. The screen only jumps up and down and it takes few taps to launch it or to make a call.

Thats actually the only complain I have. Otherwise its really perfect.
