@topache:

Right after you choose the contact from icontact before you hit edit, the right softkey should bring a menu for Delete Contact.

How do I import my contacts from my sim to the icontact program? Ive got a wing btw
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wim26:
if you use WM6: programs --> sim management.

Thanks man
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chuma:
Very nice! Good job... but...

Please in next version can you change the voice mail batton to ABC button or create customized buttom buttons (i think IContact must be more customasible - for example - .ini file)?

Idont need favorites and voice mail, But ABC table is nessisary. And exit button.

go back to 0.6... sorry =(

Version 0.71

Well I've been hard at work the past few days, and am proud to announce a new version - 0.71. I've tried to address most of your comments. A couple notes:

If you've modified theme.ini or settings.ini, make sure to do a backup before installing the new version. It will overwrite your existing ones. I don't know how to fix this, sorry...

Clicking anywhere in the titlebar will minimize the program. Or if you enabled it in settings.ini, it will exit the program. w00t!

The reason why iContact no longer supports WM2003SE is because of the cool new graphics effects (the transparency and stretching). I could probably make psuedo-transparency, like Larna did for the old keyboard in 0.6, but I don't know how to support both versions with the same code base. I'll try to figure it out. If anyone knows, please let me know!

For those of you for whom the program just crashes, I don't know how to debug that... it's most likely an easy bug fix but I don't know how to enable debug logs or whatnot. If anyone knows this, please let me know too! If you could run the source code from VS2008 on your device, it will tell you why your program is crashing and at what line. So I'd be able to fix that. Otherwise, for me, it's just a shot in the dark.

Here's my todo list for 0.71++. It probably won't come as fast as 0.71 did... 3 days was some hard work!

More support for other devices (landscape, WM2003SE, keyboard).

Love this App ...

Just wondering if you are thinking of or will in the near future add pictures of contacts !! think that would be really cool ! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] motisu:
If you want pictures, you'll have to use Truburt's version of icontacts. The author has stated numerious times that he wants to keep this version "lean & mean" and quick so it will never have pictures.

Open rencent directly

Hello everyone,

sorry to nag, but is there a option to open iContact with the "Recent" Screen? Like the way to open the favorites? Something like "iContact.exe -rencent" ? I would really like to replace my CallLog with iContact, but therefore I want iContact to start right with the recent-list.

Thanks and cheers

TobiM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] allelimo:
See post #1375...

Anyway, the command line options are:

-favorites

-recents

-contacts

-dialer

-search
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TobiM:
Thank you very much for the rapid answer,

I changed my commandline to "\My Storage\Programme\iContact\iContact.exe -recents" without the "" but when I press the Link, the sandglass appears for a second and that's it. Nothing happens.

Thanks in advance

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] allelimo:

M2D people tab

Hello all, I have searched this thread and have not found an answer to this question... Although I find it hard to believe that no one has asked it yet:

is there a way to make it so that in M2D, when you select a "favorite person" from the quick tab in M2D ("people") it launches icontact instead of the standard windows people "properties"?

Thanks for this great app, now that I can have the standard windows title bar instead of the iphone-like title bar I am very pleased, I try hard to not make my phone look like its imitating the iphone (only reason I don't use the slide to unlock program too)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
People have asked how to better integrate iContact with the OS before, just maybe not that specific question. No, there's no way that I know of. If somebody figures it out I will gladly build it into the program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
I think I am going to give this version one more chance (now that I will rebuild my device for ROM 5.05), since I prefer to have actively developed apps, so if someone clears some details for me (it's 139 pages long people!):

1) Can I start on specific screen with parameter? Found this in THIS page, so yes.

2) Can I have the last button be in the form of "use only the letters of the alphabet you actually HAVE starting in your contacts?" (inc. from other character sets, for example in BE, I see very few English letters since I have few English contacts and then almost the whole Greek alphabet since I have many Greek named contacts). So, possible?

3) Is it true that I can HAVE my WM titlebar back after all? (I hate the custom iPhone-like one)

...btw I still don't get how having an extra OPTION (contact pics), takes from the app being lean and mean. You want lean and mean? Switch off the option. You want contact pics? Switch it on. (ps. never saw a speed problem in BE with photos on)

In any case keep up with the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
2) Yes, you need to clear the alphabet string in the settings file and then iContact will load only the ones that you have

3) Yes, that's an option in the settings file as well

The contact photos increase RAM usage, and if you turn off the option, you just end up with redundant bits of code lying around which is hardly lean or mean.

Awesome, but how to use with TouchFlo 3D ?

Hi,

awesome app and I'd love to use it.

However, TouchFlo 3D phones (e.g. HTC Diamond) have a "contacts" tab, in there there's an "all people" button, and that just brings up the standard WM Contacts app (albeit skinned with an extra index bar on the right).

Now what can we do to make this button call iContact instead ? :confused:

I have a feeling maybe the easiest way could be to make sure iContact REPLACES the standard Contacts app by default; not sure that would work.

Or, somehow we'd have to change what the button does.

Anybody got any idea ?

A similar question has been posted here before, but the answer was completely beside the point (referred to a post about code for minimizing apps... ??).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] finsmaniac02:
is there maybe a way to have this program display the "notes" about a contact when on that contact also? For instance, one of my work phone numbers I just put everyones extension in the notes.. sometimes its helpful to have something like this. Currently you have to go to "edit" in order to see that stuff

Question

This is AWESOME! The interface looks great on my touch pro!! Just wondering if anyone knows a way for me to add it to my TF3D? I already installed the file but when i go over to my TF "People" Tab and i click on the left softkey that says "Contact" I get the regular windows contacts. How do i change it to the iContact? (I have the alltel TP CDMA stock ROM). Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chalid:
Liked the app very much in the past but didn't continue to use it, because it used its own title bar. Now, with the option not to run in full screen and let the windows titlebar be on top its perfect. thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
If you think the v0.91 looks good on VGA, wait till v0.92! Like I've said on the FAQ, I don't know how to change the people tab on TF3D... if I did or if someone figures it out, I will do it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
New version available, v0.92!

A new edition of iContact is ready for download, v0.92, which adds beautiful new VGA skins, Touch sensor scrolling for the Diamond (thanks l3v5y!), better language support for "Favorites" category, easier language installation, and some bugfixes.

How to use the diamond touch sensor? Hold your thumb on the middle of the dpad, then tilt the phone up or down. Release your thumb to stop the scrolling.

See more details at the first post.

Thank u for the product.... Deva...

I doubt it, the only thing I changed related to scrolling code would've only affected the diamond and in that case only if you're touching the dpad.

Supbro,

Great update! Working well on my Polaris M-Anime2 rom. Installed in main memory and put itself in ''all people''. I had to copy manualy greek translation file from translation cab into programm folder, cause translation cab seems faulty.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Faulty how? The language .cab files are not thoroughly tested, I'd like to fix it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You may need to reboot (or restart iContact) after installing a new skin or new language. Installing the greek language file from .cab worked ok on my phone after doing this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maxsysji:
wooohoo

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yeah, I thought it was time for a new sample set :) Plus, I spelled Damian Conway's name wrong!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peron:
I installed it on my diamond and rebooted the phone. I'm assuming it does not replace the existing contact application, I need to go to programs and start it manually.

Is it supposed to set one of the softkeys? In my case it did not.

I like the scrolling using the sensor but I find it a bit unreliable, will report back after using it for a while.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cybernec:
Confirmed, language cab installed ok after reboot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saimn:

0.91

The cab installed on my Fuze and it still says version 0.91...is it just me or is the wrong cab file posted??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'll make iContact detect new skin/language installations in the next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I just double-checked and the version on my website is 0.92. Did you get it from here: http://supware.net/iContact/ ?

On which screen does it say 0.91?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angus1357:
It appears to be correct now, not sure why but the last time I checked (about an hour ago) it was the old cab file...glad to see its fixed, keep up the good work

In first thanks a lot for this nice piece of code !

I'm on 0.92 with french language - HTC Diamond with official HTC rom

Just one problem I just see an error message few seconde after I kill Icontact witch top right corner action.

Error comes only if you are in a contact.

If you are in contact list and press top right corner there are no errors

have you this problem ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No, I have not seen this error. I just tried it. What does the error say?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] revers59:
It's a windows error the one you can send to microsoft :p

Lot of information in the log but I don't know how to save it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It's ok, it probably wouldn't help much anyway :) I don't know how to fix it but I will keep it in mind. Nobody has ever mentioned this problem before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gotohk:
Great work!

However, the display of "recent" page is still...... slow+slow = too slow...:(

PS: it seem that the SW need to update whole log file as I find that it is faster if the "recent" data is smaller.....

why not just update the latest contents in first priority? or limit the among of history to speed up the "recent"? :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That's a decent idea. I'm working right now on speeding up the call logs, as it bugs me too :)

Skins

Will old skins work for this new v.093? is there any custom skins out yet?

sensor scrolling isn't working for me. I'm supposed to be able to just put my thumb on the d-pad and tilt the phone right?? not working
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
right. It will probably only work on Touch Diamond or Touch Pro though. I've noticed that sometimes the sensor doesn't sense my thumb and I have to try again. Does moving your thumb clockwise/anticlockwise around the dpad work for you? That's a different gesture.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abdeviation:
I'm on a TP. Rotating my thumb around works properly. But when I stop rotating, the screen jitters up and down a bit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That sounds like the expected behavior when you're already at the top (or bottom) of the list. Maybe you're not tilting the designed direction. If you're at the top of the list, try this: set your phone flat on a table, then while touching the d-pad, lift the phone so the power button is still touching the table but the usb jack is sticking straight up. Tilting in this direction should make the list scroll.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abdeviation:
nope not working. I was so excited about this :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
There must be something different about your phone. Other people with TP have been using it successfully. See this post on PPCGeeks:

Its the first time I tried your app on my ubiquio 401 / gsmart (WM5 QVGA)..

I installed cab and then greek language cab.

My first impression was great.. small & fast!

But when I selected a contact for favorite, everything went crazy..

All my contacts are now lost, the app stops & waits for ever

Cannot get into the dialer as well or phone log..

Unistalled everything now, but still cannot get to dialer or normal contact app. :mad:

I need a hard reset I think..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
Hi subro,

the very most feature what I do not like on your editon of iContact (and which is prventing me from using it) is that the return button is at the top left corner.

For my right hand thumb this is a quite large distance to go (on a device such as the Toch HD more or less impossible, I have the Xperia).

Is there something I am missing so that this could be changed and it is my own fault therefore?

I just want to give this feedback not sure whether it was mentioned and discussed allready, I made no search for it.

Best regards

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jsphczz:
I also would prefer an easy "back" button.

Another thing... The recent calls list doesn't seem to update unless you press the icon twice. Also seems to load the entire recent call history. is there a way to limit it to 10 days or so to load the list quicker?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You can also use the "left" arrow on the dpad.

HI!

This is a great app, but in call list only the misssing calls are recognizable.

It would be nice if the incoming and outgoing calls displayed in different colors also (or icons)

2.

If I choose a contact, it is very hard to go back to the conatc list, the left arrow too small. It would be great if I can go back to contct list by sliding left my finger , like in pmcontacs

The touch region for the back button is larger than the button itself. Try touching the back button with the stylus and hold down to see the region highlighted in blue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ron-tx:
I too am having the same issues with the mode buttons (at bottom). Most of the time when you touch a button, an address highlights, when you tap it again it moves to another address name. Takes several tries to switch to what you wanted. Almost as if the area defined by the button is like a tiny size rather than the whole button area.

Rather than just using your finger like the previous version I have to use my finger nail edge or styus.

Also the address scrolling is really bad, does't scroll smooth and the slightest attempt to scroll ends up selecting an address or you can't scroll at all.

I uninstalled and installed the previous (v.91), problems above not happening; new version .92 seems real buggy.

I don't know, I can't replicate what you're seeing, and I didn't change anything to do with that code since the last version. Could you be accidentally touching the d-pad at the same time?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
What is SE? You would probably be safer uninstalling Burt's Edition, then installing the .cab file from my web site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Devileyezz:
Uninstalling BE.

SE is Sup Edition. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ron-tx:
Any other Samsung Omnia users having this issue?

No, the d-pad is way below the touch screen. I also have the Samsung Omnia (VZW edition), maybe that is the common issue? When I was using the .92 it almost seemed as if the menu bar at the bottom was not active and when I selected an icon within it it was instead "clicking through" the menu bar to the screen behind it.

As soon as I removed and installed .91 it works great again; fast, repsonsive and quick single taps on bottom bar acts appropriately and goes to the screen you selected.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Oh, you forgot to mention what type of phone you have. It's possible with all the VGA updates I missed something with WQVGA screens. I'll check it out tonight.

I havent seen this mentioned. I need some help. iContacts ia the first thing I installed after a hard reset. then iDialer.

With no contacts installed, they work great.

With a few dozen contacts installed, it works.

With 1500 of my contacts installed, it does not work. iContact crashes every time it opens.

Running on a Sprint Touch Pro

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
iContact has a hard limit of 2000 contacts; any more than this will for sure cause unpredictable errors. However with 1500 maybe there are other memory issues. In order to run silky smooth, iContact fills an array in memory with all of your contacts. Perhaps it is trying to allocate too much memory and dying at that point.

If you have that many contacts, iContat probably isn't the best contact manager for you anyway... I know i wouldn't want to flip through that many contacts to find the one I'm interested in.
