Call History

Hi!

Is there a way to use iContact/iDialer to be the default choise to pick up CallHistory. I am using Iphonetoday plugin and dont want to use the Samsungs/Windows embedded interface for callhistory, when I have missed calls and hit the green soft or hard button.

Thanks in advance!

I say its compatible on The Wingster: http://thewingster.com/icontact.aspx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
I noticed that in Recents, missed calls are highlighted in Red (using default skin). Can incoming calls be differentiated from outgoing with a color (like green or yellow). I guess the color would depend on the skin.

This would be helpful, for example if I called someone on their business line and they called back using their cell. If I were to call them again, I might have to tap more than one entry to see which was my outbound call.

Thanks for this finger friendy app.

Missing Details

I run icontact 0.94 on HTC Toch HD,

sometimes (sometimes it works) i click a contact to get the details but there are no details shown.

See attachment graphic.

Try refreshing the 'all contacts' cache. You can do it easily by clicking the "all contacts" tab while already viewing all contacts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nahid569:
good version, works nice on samsung i760
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ejlmd:
I love this app in conjuction with iDialer and Google Voice.

For a future version, would you consider auto-refreshing the contacts cache after the contacts database has been maniputated, and/or when iContact launches?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It does refresh the contacts cache after the contacts database has been manipulated, but not if it is not running in the background. So I suggest ExitOnMinimize = Off.

I have considered refreshing the cache when iContact starts, but then again, this will be almost every time you see the contacts list if you don't let iContact run in the background. So in this case, I recommend ExitOnMinimize = Off as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
There is always a tradeoff between speed/performance and convenience. As the Developer notes, the list will auto-refresh if iContact is left on and running in the background, but that convenience affects performance (battery drain and another process running).

Unlike things that get unnoticably updated in the background, adding or changing contact info is something that a user is generally aware of. So while tapping the All Contacts icon a second time (to update the cache) may not be terribly convenient, it insures that this app continues to be speedy and efficient. Why would I want to slow down opening this app everytime, when I might only make a contact change once a week.

I know every user has different needs so I don't want to dismiss the request as unecessary, but I do request that developers focus on speed and performance as defaults and add convenience items as options. That way everyone can get the most out of great applications like iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Well said. Though I wouldn't agree that leaving iContact in the background affects battery life. The only thing it might do in the background is set the refresh flag to true if you make a change to contacts (it won't even refresh the contact list until it is back to the foreground). It consumes memory, but very little.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmwgimp:
any way to get it to display contacts saved on the SIM?

I don't want to copy them to the contacts on my phone, because it will sync with my work's Exchange acct and I don't want that.

but it doesn't seem to display any contacts that are saved on the SIM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
If you have to display SIM contacts and don't want to copy them over, you can use iContactAE. It's similar to iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] plasmastrike:
is there any difference between i contact and icontactae
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes, many. iContactAE has more features and tons of configuration options, at the expense of memory consumption.

Thanks, I kept re-installing Icontact when that happened to me.

Multiple Alphabet Headings & Display several categories only

Hi. Just discovered iContacts (and iDialer) two days ago and loving it. A couple things tho:

1) I cannot figure out why for some alphabets I have more than one grouping. For example, contacts with last name beginning with A, I have two groupings. For the first A grouping, have some contacts under it, and for the second grouping of A, I have one or two other contacts under it. I have gone into each contact checking to make sure that the First, Last, and Display As fields are correct, and I have updated cache, but I still have separate groupings for some alphabets. This occurs for one or two other alphabets, but not all. Any idea what's going on here?

2) In the original WM outlook contact program, you can filter which categories of contacts to display by check box (menu/filter/more). Is there a way to show only particular contacts in iContacts as well? Basically I want to be able to hide contacts from one or two categories in the event that someone plays with my phone and starts scrolling through my contacts.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

iContact on WM6.5

Halo all,

First thank you for this G8 application. I have installed this (Ver 0.94) on my WM6.5 mobile but having some basic problem. Before posting here, i had gone through FAQs and foung no answer.

Thing is, i contact does not display any contacts under 'all contacts tab'. But id does display 'Recents'. Any help will be G8. Thank you.

PSR
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] psr1978:
Thank you SupBro,

I Did so as you mentioned. (It is also mentioned in your WebPage: While viewing the "all contacts" tab, touch the contacts tab at the bottom of the screen again.)

But still, it does not change, Still no contacts are updated in the All contacts menu. Any other trick..? Thank you in advance.

Are your contacts stored on a SIM card? iContact won't display SIM contacts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ayeyaya:
Help....

Has anyone experienced problem #1 above? Still can't figure out how to fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You must have a contact in the middle of the "A" group with a letter other than "A". Is it Ä or À or maybe lowercase a?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PhoenixAD:
I'm using this with an HTC Touch Pro phone and am really loving it. Great job man!

Here's a couple of bugs I found

1) After I delete a contact, it still shows up in the "All Contacts" list until i go back up one screen and hit "All Contacts" to refresh the list

2) I have a category called "Business" in there with no contacts, when I select it it automatically just goes back to my today screen like it had a mini crash. Can I remove this "Business" category somehow?

Enhancements

1 ) Can you add a delete contact button? :)

Default email problem

Hi,

I just downloaded it on my HTC Touch Pro2. It works fine. I have also downloaded the iDialer, iContact and GreenButton. I like the green button functionality.

However there is a problem. When we tap/select a contact then it gives us the option to email or sms etc. So when I click on the email (email that is stored in the contact and shows up when the contact is selected) it sends the email by using Outlook. I do not use outlook on my phone, I use Gmail. So I read the instructions for it and I went to "start" > "settings" > "system" > "iContact" I clicked on the it and it opened the settings for iContact. The first option was for "Email account" and by default its set to "auto". I clicked on it and selected from "auto-active sync" to my email. There is no other button or option on the screen that says "ok" to save the setting an go back. The only option I have is to press the back button. So I press it and then when I try to use the same functionality to send the email it still uses the outlook to send the email. Now someone might give a suggestion that using the back button doesnt save the option and thats why when we change the option, its not saved. Its not true. When I click on the option "Full Screen" and changed the option to "off" (which is by default set to ON) and then click on the back button. It does saves the change.

I uninstalled the iContact and then tried to use the function to send the email . Then it asks for you to which email ID to use to send the email. So I figured out that its not problem with the phone. Its the problem with the iContact that it doesnt save that "default email" setting.

So my question is that can someone please tell me how to fix it.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ayeyaya:
Figured it out...

Found the cause. It is creating multiple grouping because of I have some entries that begin with "-" (I enter all my retail/business type contacts that way); For example, I have 5 contacts with the letter "A": Adams, Albert, -American Express, Andrews, and Appleton. In Outlook these are alphabetized with no problem as above. In iContact, it groups Adams and Albert in one grouping of "A", then it groups "-American Express" under "-", then it groups Andrews and Appleton in a second grouping of "A" . If I remove the "-" from American Express, then it combines all five under one "A" grouping.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ayeyaya:
Well I think I am unistalling iContacts for the above reasons, even tho I like the look and feel...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
So you're saying that iContact does not seem to obey your email account selection. Can you tell me the name of your email account, exactly. One other person has mentioned this but it works ok for me.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rojaa:
Works real smooth, as does your usual work.'

But I dont have, or maybe misunderstand, the reference to use "*" key to favorite/unfavorite a contact.

And sip keyboard still appears at bottom of screen after edit a contact.

Don't see option to remove shortcuts?

wm 6.1

Thanks for your great work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rojaa:
oops! Found one

Okay, found the remove shortcut option (I keep my shortcuts in a different place which is why the option did not appear)

Still cant get "*" option yet.

:) This is so good!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Do you have a physical keyboard on your phone? If not, then you probably don't have a "*" key either :)

Hi,

Installed and tried. Looks lovely, but due to the lack of commandline option to jump to display a particular group, I'll be sticking with one of the other releases.

Hi there!

I instaled v0.95 but it doesn't recognise the SIM contact, i had to copy from SIM to contact list! Is this ok or it should get the SIM contacts as we put it in the phone?

Thanks, great soft!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It's ok, iContact doesn't recognize SIM contacts. Copying them to the phone is the best way to do it. (iContactAE will recognize SIM contacts if you prefer to keep them on the SIM card)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZeTolas:
Ok thanks for the answer.

Another question i thinks it may be a bug that already exists in previous version. When we make or receive a call when we try to access to "contacts" it gives an error that say "The file 'iContact cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file". This only happen in this screen. Screen shots of this error above.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Is that an iPhone? What dialer software are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZeTolas:
CiPhone C5 running WM6.1... and i'm using iContact and iDialer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:

What is the dialer software that's running on the screenshots you provided? It's not iDialer. I would guess your problem is with that dialer program, not with iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ace10134:
Slick phone, lol!

I couldn't stand only having one button on the phone though, that's the worst idea I've ever seen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I agree... IMHO, there are at least 2 mandatory buttons on a PHONE: the green button and the red button. On every phone I've owned, to call back the last person who called you, simply click the green button twice. On the iphone: click the hardware button, touch the phone icon, touch the recents tab, then touch the item at the top of the list, then touch the "call back" button... really???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] feffrey:
I just installed you iContact and it is awesome!

I think I found a bug though.

I added a contact via active sync with my google account and it did not show up in iContact. It showed up in the winmobile contact list though. I tried re-installing the app, and the contact did not show up in iContact.

I ended up adding a new contact with the same number in iContact. But after I did, the original contact showed up in the list with the new one I just created.

So I just deleted the one I had created in iContact.

Did I miss something in the program that has to be run to update the contact list, or is this some sort of bug?

Again thanks for a great program.

Fixed it; removed them from being favorites then re-added them.. I wonder if it's associated with some ActiveSync problems I had and I had to re-sync the phone..

Hi,

I'm using a third app for my SMS messaging. It would be great if we could associate the SMS section in the contact to open the third SMS app.

Recursing Refine the Name

There are too many contacts prefix with "C" or "L." Therefore, I suggest that we can repeatly tap the "Letter Pages" until we get my contact to dial. Now we can only tap once and so when I tap "C," then I should scroll for long time to get my contact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Or maybe an option to select a string of 1 to 3 letters for lookup, so if setting was 2 and I wanted to find someone names "Smith", I could tap "S" and when I tapped "M", I would go to all the entries starting with SM. Users with small lists could still still use the default 1 letter lookup.

I agree, this is probably my biggest issue with iContact and the reason that I use the AE version. It really needs to be able to distinguish somehow between incoming and outgoing calls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sprinttp2:
I am using icontact on my TP2. I am facing a situation that if I edit a persons information (e.g. Name) and save it, the saved changes get nullified and I get an entry with an <unnamed> person.

Sorry but I didnt have a chance to go through all 192 pages to see if someone had this problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You could try refreshing the all contacts list by tapping the all contacts button again while viewing all contacts.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sprinttp2:
I understand that part about reloading the contact list, but this is when you actually click on the contact and when you are at the edit screen, the Name ha nothing in it. Apparently it gets saved that way.

I have the same issue with a new appointment so it may not be a iContact thing. It may be a ROM issue. I have the stock rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Only the name field is blank? But the other fields are right? iContact wouldn't cause that for sure. I could maybe understand it loading a completely new record with all fields blank, if you're plugged into ActiveSync at the time perhaps.

icontacts proposed improvements

This is a great application, very usefull (the only one i know really handling categories of contacts). Congratulations.

I suggest 2 improvements:

1) in the category tab: display the "without category" group of contacts instead of "all contacts"

2) be able to access to the category tab thru command line argument
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kaostick:
Phone doesn't have a d-pad, its a TP2, and I did notice the long tap on the call button, but from what I've seen that only works from iDialer, not iContact, which is where I make most of my calls from.

No biggie though. I can't expect developers to code for every single WinMo device out there. A big part of the beauty of WinMo is that we, the user, get to choose what hardware we want to use. The downside is there are lots of configurations, and eventually something is going to get missed. At any rate, .94 is working fine, and I do appreciate the response. Keep up the good work, and thanks for giving us this nice little app. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I already have planned a "-categories" command line option for the next version. I'm not sure it's possible to display contacts "without category", is that possible from the normal contacts manager?
