ok !! thanks. After softreset the settings program appears in the "Sistema" Tab. Thank you very much.

So, for the spanish users -if you are using an spanish ROM- you needs to move the shortcut from "Menu Inicio - Settings" to "Menu Inicio - Configuración" to get it works, after that you can delete the "Settings" folder created by iContact installer under "Menu Inicio".

Regards.

Great App

Kudos supbro!!! Thanks for a great finger-friendly program. I start SMS and emails from iContacts all the time ... and of course calls.

Great work!!!

will this new version screw up the control panel.exe in my Samsung Omnia i900? All previous versions did and I have to uninstall it.

please advise... thanks!

Great job to v0.9. It definitely is faster in loading.

Tried it with previous skins and it works too. Double great job. Thank you.

iContact as default contact program

How can install iContact as a default contact program, I have an Sprint HTC Diamond, I also want to change the dialer to the iDialer.

Hi,

What does option fast graphics do? If I disable it, animation when opening keyboard (name search) is weary slow if fast graphic is enabled the animation is fast. Does this option impact battery life?

Best Regards,

Top Bar to exit iContact 0.9

Glad its not just me!

I have iContact v0.9 installed on both a HTC Touch HD and Orange SPV M700, and on both where I normally tap the top bar area to exit, a strange square block appears if I try to exit using the top left to the top middle area. However if I tap on the top right area, it exits perfectly.

Don't get me wrong, its still THE best contact program, I'm just pointing out a VERY MINOR bug, and it certainly won't stop me recommending this to every PPC user I meet!

Keep up the fantastic work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Smart_Fury:
Hi !

Impressive program

Thanks a lot

But... how to instal the both other skin available on your website ?

I got the .cab files, but executing them on my Touch HD seems to do... nothing. ???

A tried to read the thread but i didn't understand how to make icontact the default program for "contact"

thanks again and great job !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes that's about all it does. Using AlphaBlend and StretchBlt is slow on some phones, and VERY slow on others. So FastGraphics minimizes the use of those two graphics functions. It shouldn't affect battery life, it would just make it slower/faster in those few certain cases (like opening/closing the keyboard).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That weird functionality is for integrated use of iDialer. In iDialer, touching the service provider name will change the service (phone/grand central/jajah/phone.com). It's possible there's a bug there if you only have the standard phone service with iDialer. I'll take a look.

Hello,

I 'm facing an issue:

I've deleted two contacts, they are no longer shown in the traditional outlook contacts, but they are still shown in icontact v.0.9. When I press them the matrix with the alphabet is shown.

Anybody facing this issue? Any workaround?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Those contacts are probably still cached. When viewing the contacts, press the contacts tab at the bottom of the screen again to refresh the cache.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] padvou:
You are the rescue of my day.

I love icontacts!!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Elodie:
Beautiful Job !

Just a question/suggestion : what about creating a new contact inside the app ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emay:
Did you notice the little '+' in the top right corner. That is where you create a new contact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
That just loads the WM contact creation screen, but I think a custom version of that is probably quite difficult to do, and would make iContact bulkier... I very rarely add contacts on my phone, so I may be biased... :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
l3v5y and I agree on these issues... I rarely add contacts on my phone, so making a custom "add contact" screen wouldn't add much value in my opinion.

Recents calls not update

Hello,

I have the following problem.Recents calls are not update in my PDA.I have to delete "recents.dat" if i want to see the recents calls.

I have a HTC Touch Elf , S2U2 1.42 & iContact 0.9.

Good Job and sorry for my english :)!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I think if you go to the recent calls tab, and then press on the recent calls icon again, it should update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gandhi70:
this is a nice app.

is there a chance to see the contact pictures in the contact list beside the names?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I think supbro is of the opinion that that leads to much greater memory being required, and more processor time needed, leading to slower performance generally...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gandhi70:
Too bad.

But I still hope, that he maybe will consider it as an option to turn on and off.

I tried Yota contact before, and I very much like its interface, but it is a resource hog.

Icontact is much better in that regard.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Burt's edition has contact pictures, maybe you'd prefer his.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gandhi70:

i feel a little bit bad now, for switching from your version (still great) to burts.

Problems with Flexmail

Hi,

I have set up FlexMail as my default SMS program. iContact still uses the WM built-in text messaging prog. This in itself wouldn't be a problem, but once I have called the text messaging program from iContact FlexMail no longer displays the SMS/MMS folders (which means that iContact has somehow overriden the deafult settings for text messages - after a soft reset everything is back to normal). Could this be fixed? Is there a way I can make FlexMail being launched instead of WM text messaging when I choose SMS from iContact?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mgw_atom:
SIM contacts not showing

Not able to call number starting with *

Hi,

my phone provider has a special number that allows me check my prepaid account balance. I call the number and they send me some sort of message (it is not a regular SMS but just a popup window telling me how much money I have left). However, I cannot call this number from iContact. The number is a 5-digit one starting with * and ending with #. Could it be made possible to call it from within iContact?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makix13:
Thanks a lot l3v5y!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barbapappa_86:
I get an error message when i´m close the app after i selected a contact. Great work, but don´t work for me :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I don't know how the built-in dialers do this. But I know that every provider is different (Sprint, AT&T, Rogers, Vodafone, etc. etc.) So it's not likely to come built into iDialer any time soon. You have to use the built-in dialer to do this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryhkowal:
Unfortunately version 0.9 drains battery on Samsung Omnia. Battery is out after 24h even if phone is in stand by mode. I Uninstalled it and the battery is ok now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That's one I've not heard about the Omnia, though I have heard of a bunch of other problems that Omnia owners have. Anyway, is that something that's changed with v0.9 compared to v0.8?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nordika:
Recents

I`ve tried your application. What can I say? It's a Must!.

However, in my particular case, recents take about 10 seconds to update, what I find too much. I've tried Burt Edition, and recents are really, really fast there. On the other hand, memory ..... uffff!!!!

Is there something I can do to speed up recent's update? Just delete recent's it's not the solution.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
This is something I'm working on. v0.9 brought list caching, so at least now the only time it's slow is when you refresh the recents list. I have an idea that will probably speed it up significantly, I'll try to put that in the next version.

icontact 0.9v

Hi, I'm having the same problem. Had to unistall icontact 0.9 because can't see contacts on sim-card. Is there a different cab you can make this work for sim-card contacts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
iContact really needs a boost.

Seems Burt Edition has slowed down development, while you are very active.

I hope you can get in line with that build sooner or later (BE seems more "polished" if you allow the criticism).

To many wait states in your edition, scrolling is not as smooth and VERY VERY limited config capabilities (for example I want to have normal WM top bar and I want the "auto" letter grid for searching (very nice - it fills up only with letters that contacts are starting - INCLUDING my Greek contacts)...

Those are nice things and I hope you implement them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'll allow the criticism, but I won't agree with it :) It seems like you'd prefer Burt's Edition. I have focused on small memory footprint and extreme ease of use, while Burt has opted for ultimate configurability. What you call "limited config capabilities" I call easy to use.

Anyway you can have an "auto" letter grid by removing the alphabet from your language file, or set "alphabet=" (set it blank). I actually had that as default at first but others complained that letters were missing from the grid.

I have been thinking about a setting to include the standard windows title bar but that leaves those who have multiple phone service providers and iDialer (like me) unable to switch between them. Someone has actually sent me code to implement that so I will probably add that option. But I think very carefully before adding another customization option which in my opinion just makes iContact more confusing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nordika:
Thanks, I will look anxious to it, so that it can be ........ Perfect!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azahidi:
No problem with me. All recent calls listed.

I've been using both versions of iContact on 2 different phones. No problems. Well.. some waiting.. probably a few milliseconds.. especially from first execution. Once it's running in the background.. no problem. I like it, in fact I've created a skin, already sent to the creator.. hopefully he'll publish it. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] derekwilkinson:

Great work Subpro. Already installed your latest version (v0.91). Near Perfect. Proud to be among the first to use this ver. In fact I modified the skin to my liking. If anyone wish to use my skin, just unzip attached the file, copy the 2 unzip files (default.png and .skn) to iContact folder. Sorry still learning to create .cab.

Donation already on the way :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aviking:
I would like to start out by saying great program.

My question is how do I get the options page? I want to use the default (dark) skin and when I loaded the new 9.1 the iphone skin is the one that installed as the skin and I cant seem to find how to get to the options page.

Thanks for any input

aviking
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pimms:
I was wondering the same thing, so I did a search in this forum and found that you need to do a soft reset, then go to the Start menu, click on Settings, click on System. Scroll down and you should see an icon for iContacts. Click on that and you will have access to the settings.

Hope that helps.

.Cab :) (too short)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] londa88:
nice app gonna try it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] InsjaHH:
After considering iContact to give it a try, I finally did the step and I'll try it out for a few weeks :D.

Firstly, may I attend you on the "little" bug when using different language of WM, the installation assumes (hardcoded in .CAB?) to copy the shortcut link for iContact in \Windows\Startmenu\Settings, instead of an other folder (when using a Dutch ROM e.g. \Windows\Startmenu\Instellingen). Just wanted to let you know, no big problem ;).

I really like the fact that you can scroll at the right side for instant A-Z contact search! Works like a charm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
MS decided not to provide a language-independent variable for the settings directory, like they did for the start menu and the control panel, program files, etc. So I'm not sure how to fix it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] InsjaHH:
Ok, no problem. I didn't knew / realized there isn't any support for that. Either you could opt for a iContacts folder within the Program Files folder, like most applications do. There you could find the iContact and iContact settings then.

Something I just noticed while changing the language to Dutch. It seems that the "Favorites" name is hardcoded in the program? I haven't found a variable to be set in the language .lng. All the other variables are translated succesfully. Is this correct behaviour?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That question is frequently asked:

http://www.supware.net/iContact/faq/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yearn:
Hey! nice work man, i've used this for quite some time now.

I cant find the option to use to WM title bar. I figured it would be in the settings menu. What am I overlooking?

Duh! Nevermind, its the fullscreen option. I like yours better anyway after trying it out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] InsjaHH:
Oh my god, I'm so sorry that I asked, I looked for the FAQ page everywhere on your page, not knowing it's in small font hehee.

Still remains the question that I'm not able to choose between options in the iContact Settings for the Favorites. When I select the option, all I get is the Favorites item on the screen to choose from. I'm guessing something is done wrong by me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Maybe you don't have any contacts belonging to any categories on your phone. This is a limitation of the POOM API. I cannot detect the category names on your phone unless you have a contact in that category. So to fix it you must first manually add one contact to your favorites category (edit the contact, click on the categories field, and tick the favorites category).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] InsjaHH:
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, I've found the solution and added several categories which also show up in iContact!

It's really a fast application, even with ~250 contacts in my list. First load is even lightning fast, faster than the built-in contact list on my Touch HD :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I recompiled iContact v0.73, and put it on my website:

Recents

I've downloaded this new version, but recent's update problem still remains, right?

Any idea when you expect to correct this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
The "problem" only occurs for people who Exit on Action or Exit on Minimize. Otherwise iContact will detect updates to the call log. Even if so, you can just click the recents button again when the recents are displayed to refresh the list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yemil:
hi , i liked your program.... just one thing it keeps me with outlook contacts

on icontacts i cant find contacts by company name................

will you add it? i have like 700 names and some company phones without a name in particular , just the company name.

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nordika:
Well, don't know if I understood what you really mean, but both my "exit on action" and "exit on minimize" are off.

Yes, if I click the recents button again it sure refreshes the list. The "problem" is the time it takes to update (10-12 seconds).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Oh, I understand. Yeah, the call log database is really slow. I have an idea of how to limit the number of lookups I do on it. It bugs me too, so I am working on that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nordika:
I'm glad you notice that as well.

When you find the "cure" please do not forget to mention that....:D

Hi Doug,

I just installed iContact 0.91, and I just emailed you about it - the application seems to take forever to load! I'm wondering if it is because I have about three thousand (that's right, 3000) contacts in my Address Book.

Anyone having the same problem too?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes, that's it. Even after it loads, surely it must be hard to use your thumb to scroll through 3000 contacts!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Something for those with Diamonds/Raphaels...

I've added to the iContact code some sensor handling, so you can now scroll with the GSensor/touch panel.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3329223#post3329223

Thanks to supbro for almost all the code though!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
These are probably both frequently requested features, but would love to see contact photos on the names list screen and also the option to start in the favorites screen.

I understand both of these are available in Burt's edition but Truburt has stopped development of that version.

Thanks for reading.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lufc:
downloading now looks great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mgw_atom:
How do you know that? There's nothing about that on his web site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You can start in the favorites screen. Update your shortcut to "iContact.exe -favorites". This ability has been around since 0.76 which was released last July.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
It's hard to dig through these multi-page threads -- that's a usability snag with this site (any forums), but I raised this with supbro and he gave a definitive answer: No, he chooses not to use photos in list because he is optimizing for speed. He suggested I use Burt's... and when I asked will it work with iDialer he said yes --- and it does, perfectly.

(NOTE TO DOUG: I still have had no success ever with getting Green Button to work on my T-Mobile Wing. This is across multiple ROMS. I know your original response was: "Did I have iContact and iDialer both installed on device vs storage card?" and I said "No, i have them both on my storage card". Then you issued a cab that enabled one to install on storage cards, and the cab had some code that told Green Button how to associate with those apps. I've tried all variations: Installing iContact (Burt's) and iDialer on my device -- not using the code that handles installations on storage cards; I've also wiped ROM to install a new ROM, and on that occasion installed iDialer and iCOntact to my storage card, and used your cab for linking all that together. But I install Green Button and I have never gotten the ability to press the call button (dedicated green button) and have it invoke iDialer. ... I've kinda let it go since i've spent way too much time trying to troubleshoot and I don't have the chops to do so.)

I don't think that's accurate.

He's got a Beta 2 of his 7.0 version avail for download, it's dated Dec 12, 2008. But if you have more current info, please share. thank you

Hi there,

I really like the iContacts-app, it's a big improvement for the standard contacts-app on my HTC Diamond. But I have one problem: when I edit the contacts-name (for example Smith, J. => Smith, John), the old name keeps showing in iContacts. When i open the contact I see the new name. Is there a way to 'refresh' the contactlist or am I doing something wrong?

Hope to hear from you all :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
When on the main contacts tab, tap on the contacts tab button again, and the contact list should refresh.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] watikjebrom:
Thanks !!!!!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes, refresh the same way you refresh the call log -- by clicking the contacts tab again when the contacts list is already being displayed.

For some of my contacts I have address listed but I dont see it showing up, in this software even though it is there for the default software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] topache:
Am I missing something?

Hi, Finally decided to try this after seeing it for awhile.

Very nice, a few fixes and this thing would be perfect!

Rather than bringing stuff up that already has been brought up how bout this one.

Is it only me or can you not delete a contact? The only way i figured out how to do it was to uninstall and go back to my regular contacts then delete then re-install.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
You can't delete in icontact. However if you choose the contact you wish to delete, click it as if you're going to edit the contact which will bring to the standard wm contact entry, then you can select delete contact from the right softkey.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mozillaxom:
Nice...

But, does it support picture contact?

Thanks...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] topache:
Hi Thanks for the response. I have tried that but there is no Delete Contact. I have right softkey that says menu and in the menu options there is no Delete. I can clear cancel, but if I remove the name then it's filed under unamed.

Also just found another issue as well. It appears that icontact doesn't bring up all the phones number associated with a contact. ex, work2 or company telephone doesn't show up after selecting a contact. you have to select it again to get all the choices. it would be nice to have all the numbers on the first screen.

It would be nice too, to have it display the time in 12 hour clock rather then military time and the date to read m/d/y instead of y/m/d
