Recent Calls

I read somewhere in the many, many posts on this application that you can refresh the call / missed call list by holding down on the screen on the call / missed calls icon, then letting go.

This seems to work fine, but it seems like I have to do this all the time to refresh the call / missed calls data.

Would it be possible to just make the application automatically refresh the data when the call / missed calls icon is pushed? It seems like that would make more sense since it needs to be refreshed anyway, or it is of no use...

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Well, yes, that's possible. But then that defeats the purpose of the caching altogether. If you keep iContact running (do not exit on minimize), then it should detect new calls and refresh when appropriate. Or wait till the next version of iContact, where this isn't a problem anymore. It's no longer cached because it's just much faster (60x faster).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pjdick:
Thanks

Thanks for your response. I use "exit on action" since my current phone does not have a ton of available memory. Therefore I am constantly refreshing.

Are you saying that the new version will not use the cache, and will behave like I want it to because it is so fast?

If so, that sounds great. I can't wait. Speed is one of the reasons I switched from the burt edition to yours....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes, it takes < 1s to load 300 call logs on v0.93. It's been tested for a while, I may release an interim version with faster call logs. I plan to do the same with the contacts too but that will take a little more work.

Did you try the restore contacts button cab file from my faqs page?

This is just to say goodbye to this thread. I have bought the above software and I can only say it is really really good. It does cost 25 dollars but it is worth every cent.

Thats true, i've forgot to check the faq's, now that you said everything is ok.

Many thanks

Not sure if there has been a request for this (I did search the tread for "google" "map" & "maps") and was unable to find anything close to this request.

The request is for a link to look up contact on either Google maps or Microsoft maps. Not all of my contacts have addresses but some of them due and this is one feature I truly miss after upgrading to icontact 0.92.

Thank you for the work so far and for the future works ;)

Also, I far as I can tell when browsing recent calls within icontact 0.92, you are unable to "add to contact" on new numbers, you can "Save contact" but there is no option to add the phone number to an existing contact. (I did not search to see if this had been posted or if a fix was under way. My apologies if the case is so.)

-Chevyman
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Do you know how to do this? I've been trying to figure it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ph0:
Hi,

I'm having an issue with icontact 0.92 on my i910 Omnia. When I open icontact it is changing my setting from optical mouse to the 4 way directional option. When it does this I am unable to scroll/flick using the touch screen and I have to use the direction "button"

When I exit icontact I have to go back into settings and change it back to optical mouse. I had an older version that didnt seem to do this but I no longer have the cab to test it. :(

Has anyone run into this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
iContact doesn't do anything special for Omnia, but other Omnia users have reported other issues with that phone. Do the 5 buttons at the bottom work for you? People have reported having to touch them a few times before they work.

v0.91 is available on my history page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ph0:
Hey,

Thanks for the reply. No other than the scrolling/ mouse issue it seems to work just fine. All of the bottom buttons work and are instant.

Update:

While I was playing around with this I noticed that if I use the on screen button to switch to the contacts list I am unable to scroll. But if I use my 4 way "button" to switch to the contacts window the scrolling works. Still when exiting icontact my mouse setting stays in 4 way mode. When I open icontact you can see the mouse cursor disappear. This only does this the first time I open icontact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrpiggae:
Yes! ABC and the ability to close. Very nice, using it again now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kasperok:
welcome back "abc" :)

great work!

Thank You.

thank you for your this release 0.7.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pauldgroot:
Just busy skinning and I found out it is not possible to change titlebar text color and the titlebar signal indicator, is this correct?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It would be relatively simple to add "TitlebarText" and "TitlebarSignal" to theme.ini. Next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] topache:
awesome job.

Great job on the new updates, and you did them so fast! props to you!

Do you know if this is a known issue or is being looked at at sometime.

I noticed that when selecting a contact if that contact has phone numbers in work2 or company telephone fields they do not show up after selecting the contact. You have to actually select the name of the contact again to bring upu the original contact list to see all the numbers.

Thanks again for a great program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dens78:
i use v0.71 and i think it's much better from 0.70. but i still confuse how to exit? is that any additional setting in .ini file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
So nice... Definitely a keeper. A few suggestions though:

1. The ABC grid is much slower compared to what is in 0.6 version, also the display is different. In 0.6 the letters that do not present in my contacts will not show up; this one has full 26 letters. Is there a future performance optimization for this?

2. The "invisible" scroll bar for history is gone :( Besides, it is possible to group the history with names (like pocketcm and pointui does), and when I select the person who maybe called me 26 times then there is a list of those 26 calls placed with time and duration. My call history is fill with calls from my wife (she's in a different city) so it's hard for me to find another number I called/received. This is where pointui call history really shines, because pocketcm call history won't allow direct call back.

All in all, great app. Will be looking forward for the next better one. Thank you for your hard work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yeah, the setting is in settings.ini: change ExitOnMinimize=1

Then clicking on the titlebar anywhere closes the app instead of minimizing it.

ExitOnAction=1 will make iContact exit any time you perform an action,such as dialing a number or sending SMS, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
#1a. I'm working on making it faster.

#1b. It always contains all 26 letters: If I get used to the location of a letter on that grid, I will be able to click it without even reading the grid... I know that "G" for instance will always be at position 2,2. Otherwise it takes longer for my brain to figure out where "G" is on that grid, could be in the first row, could be in the 2nd. Since speed is what the keyboard was designed for, this is better than the old method of v0.6.

#2a. Whoops, I didn't mean to get rid of that. I updated how the scroll bar works for the contact list (giving all letters of the alphabet an equal portion of the scroll bar), which stopped it from working for the other two screens. I'll bring it back in 0.71++.

#2b. I don't know about "threaded" call history. I think it would be a major update to how the list data is stored. It does seem a lot more user friendly though. I have the same situation with my wife and voicemail taking up the majority of list entries. I'll think on it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ancola66:
Good for update :)but still without X button :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tft:
exit setting.ini

change ExitOnMinimize=0 to 1

it still would be nice to have an option for abc on right side, for one tap access... but i guess beggars can't be picky!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dens78:
thats work, it can exit now. good job, nice work and thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dinco:
very useful...

thank man!!! u're genius...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] killi:
great update, prolly keep it from here out. agree on the ABC speed, also cant figure out how to edit a contact like change/delete a number once in it's entry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bassist:
what `bout russian? ABC keyboard has only eng ABC.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madjokeer:
best ever..

i tried lots of contact apps.. and this is the simplest and most efficient one. good shyt y0!

bug report: when you go to history, it flashes "today" when u scroll to all the calls today and when you scroll to the call for yesterday the "yesterday" label is larger than the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bdaher:
thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
this is faster.. and nicer.. but still missing other languages in the ABC keyboard.. only english is there. in 0.6 there were hebrew letters.. for instance.

THANK YOU! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Meuterich:
Hei,

thanks or new version, works great, but what i miss is the fast shortway to select direktly letter. Ok, that feature is implemented, but it works very very slow. It is not useable for me at my Herald. I hope you can speed up the short letter selection and upgrade it to letters like ÜÄÖ like Larnas iContact :) So long i use the older version.

Hm, but what i find really nice is the marc a contact as favorite, it is eassyer as iContact :D.

What you should set to your ToDo: ;)

-suppourt for other alphabets like german öäü or hebrew letters or russian letters or ...

-speed up the ABC keyboard

cheers :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Your phone has a mouse cursor on it? I'm sure that's the problem, iContact wasn't designed with an actual mouse cursor in mind. (Were any touch screen programs designed this way?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Does the virtual mouse not act as a mouse on desktop systems sending the same WM_LBUTTONDOWN/WM_MOUSEMOVE/WM_LBUTTONUP messages?

If not, it's a really perverse virtual mouse...

Announcement: iContact v0.93 released!

I'd like to announce the release of iContact v0.93. This version, first and foremost, should end everybody's problems with caching of the recent calls list. But there are also some nice little tweaks here and there. Look to the first post for details!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MatleyOne:
i make a simply request

i need to see the note of my contact when i look the dettail contact.

in burt edition is it possible, it's very important for me!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
More contact details (including notes) is planned for the next version.

E-Mail Account

Hello Doug Melton,

lot of thanks for your good work, but I have one problem with this amazing program.

When i try to change my E-mail account and click in Icontact 0.93 on a E-mail adress, it appears the outlook account and in the configuration menu is switch on default ( auto )!

Have you any idea,where i can change this? ( Registry maybe ?)

Sorry for my bad english, but i 'm not trained!

Greetings

Can you explain the gravity setting?

(I have always had trouble with having the screen scroll when I was trying to select a name/#.. I'm wondering if this will help me with that)

thanks,

mike
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Gravity is only for the tilt sensor... higher values make the list drop faster, as if it were heavier. Negative values make the list scroll up when it should scroll down instead. But again it should only affect the tilt sensor scrolling.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daniel93:
thank u

nice app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
supbro. wonderful update.

- gravity works great. Tho i would make the default directions reversed (unlike in pilot mode) since it seems more intuitive to scroll down when you phone is facing down.

- i don't know if you've changed any of the code related to how fast the list scrolls, but there is a MAJOR difference between this version and 0.92. everything is smooth as hell

- I would implement info, as mentioned before...

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It's not pilot mode. You can imagine the list as a ball and your phone as a slope. If you make the slope steeper, the ball will roll down faster. But if you want to think about it differently, that's why I created the gravity setting.

What is "info", as you mentioned before?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Elodie:
Great upgrade ! Thanks for those improvments.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guigui42:
blank contacts detail

Hi, i ve been using iContact for many months now but in the last 2 versions (0.92 and 0.93 ) i installed, the contact details are all blank.

The list of my contact are displaying fine, but when i click on one to display the detail, its blank (no info displaying, just the "back" button).

Am i the only one with that problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Flashhawk:
Hy,

just wanted to say thats a great program you have there!

I use it for 2 month now and it cool as hell :)

Only suggestion i have is full text search, because i have a brain that is bad at remembering names or companies. Thats one reason i have ppc :D

And i really want to use your software further, but really need that feature. I would suggest to put an Icon on the alphabet-grid like magnifying glass or something, opening up a dynamic list and a textfield. Maybe an option to select in which data field to search (incl. notes)

Thanks in advance

Flashhawk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
I will change the gravity settings on my device... I was thinking about the default settings.

in info.. i mean .. more like what truburt added in his version. default phone number in the list, pictures, multiclickable recents button for "missed calls" "outgoing" and "incoming"...maybe address in the contact details..

this might be a strong factor in the application.

I would also add a speed dial when long-clicking a contact in the list and having a small scroll bar on the right to show how long the list is.

I'm just throwing stuff in the air now... i'm sure it takes time to add everything.

Graphics is great. usability is fantastic... and with the addition of iDialer... this is simply a perfect phone app...

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alexchea:
you need to click contact button one more time to refresh.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alexchea:
hello bro,

a suggestion here, show contact number under name, example i have 2 name with different number, i will list 2 same name, hard to know which is which.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I don't think that's the problem in this case, contact details are not cached. You may have some other problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noordeen:
direct search option

fantastic work, working well on my htc touch. it wud be greatful if add a search option like outlook contact (entering few letters to go to the contact). found a bug, if added new contact it won't show in the list. i used to delete all contacts from the program file>icontact and restart it. all contacts are displayed after refresh and making new file. hope will fix the prob. appreciate ur effort. all the best

Your question is frequently asked:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skreemer7:
Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and couldn't find anything. Is there any setting in iContact to get picture previews on main contact list itself, instead of only after clicking a particular contact?

For example, iContact Bert Edition 6.4.5 has this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=102963&d=1217493160

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] likearaptor:
I too have not been able to see how to setup the picture preview.

I have another problem, I have the Treo Pro with the hardware keyboard. I am unable to type letter and get it to search through my contacts. The other versions of iContact I have tried have that feature but they do not work as good as this iContact. Is hardware keyboard support coming soon?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] outphase:
I mentioned this in the iDialer thread, but clicking the dial mode in iContact causes it to close out. It at least changes the dial mode though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No, iContact doesn't display pictures on the list screen. It's to save RAM.

Placing video calls from iContact?

Thx for the new version and the speed-up.

I have asked this before: is it possible to add an option to place video calls.

I do not find this in iContact, and that is one reason that I do not use iContact as often as I would like to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'm sure it is possible, anything is possible with windows mobile. Maybe you should try to make an appeal to the programmer for iContactAE. I don't have a front-facing video camera on my phone and don't understand the usefulness of video calls, so I'm not likely to add it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ron-tx:
Still having issues on Verizon Omnia

Not sure what has changed since v. 0.91, but the last two version are very quirky on my phone. The biggest hassel is trying to scroll through the address list; it's very jerky and the slightes flick to scroll ends up selecting a name. Also when using the pop-up letter grid, it's ever hard to select names.

I again had to reinstall 0.91 to get the normal functionality. Is this just me having issues with Verizon Omnia?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tekz08:
It's not just you. I've had problems on the Omnia similar to the ones you're describing for the last two versions as well. The last .93 release is basically un-usable on the Omnia for me.

Do you know where I can find an old version download?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I didn't realize it was just since v0.91 that people were having problems with the Omnia. I've thought of an idea that might help, I'll try to find time to work on it tonight.

You can download v0.91 from my history page:

http://supware.net/iContact/history/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ron-tx:
Thanks for taking a look at the issues with Omnia, I really like the program. Will this "fix" be in a new version or will you just let us know when/if the current version is updated?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'll release a maintenance release with a new version number. There are a few other small bugs I'm looking at right now too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tekz08:
Awesome. I really like this program too - been using it since day 1 when I got my Omnia. I'll look forward to the next release and will let you know if it's working or not as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GreenOmnia:
Idea

This program is great!

But I've still got an idea - you could make a caller input too. That would make iContact perfect :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
What is a caller input?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaime Méndez:
Why don't you make it posible through an option in configuration applet so people can decide whether they want to save some RAM or not?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GreenOmnia:
I mean something like 'Inesoft Dialer' (a part of the Inesoft Phone app). You can dial up people (you know..that thing that shows up if you pres 'Phone' on today screen..)

Sorry for the bad explanation..x)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Maybe like iDialer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
If you want more pictures you can always use iContactAE.

Is there ANY WAY to make recently entered contacts show up. I realize caching makes it faster but I nearly trashed my $400 tilt because I got a number and it didn't show up in IContact. 2 reboots, nope. Still didn't show up. Finally decided to check google which I have a sync set up with and sure enough, I wasn't crazy the number was there. I love IContact but it's not worth something so simple as missing recently entered contacts. I finally got the number to show up by hitting the back arrow to categories. I'm removing IContacts for now because it's not worth smashing a $400 phone or missing out on meeting up with someone because a new number doesn't show up. I mean really, when I go out it's the most recently entered contacts I want quick access to, not hidden away in never never land. I don't want to go back to my pocket protector full of writing implements and a pad of paper. Give an option to make it slower but less smashable and not cache the contact list.

Thanks,

can this be added.

thank you for the reply
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlainL:
Great app !

I just discovered it.

Before, I was using PocketCM, but it's slow on startup ... and use a lot of memory.

iContact is very fast and light.

And I love the "letter panel" for direct access.

Maybe one suggestion (if it's possible), related to cache :

(sorry if you already answered it before, but I don't want to read more than 1600 posts ...)

I know cache can be refreshed manually by hiting twice "all contacts" (I read the FAQ :) ), but could it be possible to refresh it automatically when coming from back from edition (display a contact then edit). If detection of return back is not possible, maybe you can add a delay (display contact, when clicking on "edit" start a timer, and, after a few minutes, refresh contact cache)

Anyway, thanks a lot for this nice app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Well, yes, that's the point of the cache. It just doesn't work that well. I could fix it but in the next version I think I'll remove the cache for all contacts completely just like I did for recents.
