CallHistory just closes iContact for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pisca:
I like Icontact a lot, but there's something that I cannot figure.

When Icontact is installed, tooks over WM5 Contact app. this means that if I call Contacts app., Icontact pop's up

Something wrong being done, or Icontact just works like this ?

I forgot, to mention, nice Update, thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ov2rey:
going to test...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ov2rey:

Added option for exit on close

Added option for exit on action

??? where is the option on the screen???

i didn't see any.. close..

but the ABC is laggy not as smooth as 0.6

Thanks...But:

Hi,

much better with ABC now, thanks.

There´s a little bug: when I click on the call history icon, the app exits...(btw I use a O2 Orbit2 / HTX Touch Cruise)

Another thing I really don´t like is the way I can close the app. The title bar is even smaller than the WM taskbar and I really can´t manage to close the app by hitting the title bar. I thought about some solutions for this. Either theres a close button in the bottom-bar or you make the title-bar bigger and probably add an exit-button.

On the other hand: iContact just needs about 1MB of RAM..

regards,

Martin

Thanks for this. What is the best dialer that fits this design and the A_C designs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Baaschan:
Well done.

Some Ideas for the next release:

- The Keyboard is to slow. Speedoption in the ini-file?

- A Highlightcolor for the Keys (of the Keyboard).

And if you change the System-Font-Size the Call-History is cuted on the Top.

Shortcuts

Does anyone know how to delete iContact shortcuts ??? i made shortcuts of a few of my contacts on accident but i would like to delete them . :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ep0xxt:
hello,

I have a really huge problem with icontact 0.94. I installed it without problems once on the device and once on the storage and made a softreset afterwards. By clicking on the "call" button on my i900 only the old contact list is shown.

But the biggest problem is that the problem doesn't work at all: I can start it within /program files/ and open it. I see my contacts but thats basically ALL. I can't use one of the button at the bottom. Always when I am clicking on one of them something very strange is happening. Sometimes the contact list is moving or just the marked contact will become unmarked and another one will be marked. Selecting specific contacts is almost impossible.

I am using an samsung i900 omnia with a custom beta rom of windows mobile 6.5 (Build 21215.5.0.0). PDA: i900DXID1/SHKv7 PHONE: i900DXID1. I'm also using m2d and several other applications like navigon, nodata, g-alarm and so on - all of them are working fine and I am quite capable of using an windows mobile phone.

But I have seriously no clue why icontact 0.94 is behaving in such a strange way; in the past I used another version of icontact with a wm6.1 rom - which works quite good

Would be nice if you can help me

How can I remove a shortcut from the start menu once I've created it with v0.94?

Delete the file manually using File Explorer. It's created in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs . The next version of iContact will make this easier.

Hi

Any idea why icontact all of suuden doesn't show details for contact? .. i can scroll down the names, but when i click Name for details, where there are numbers, adressess, as i can see them via quick contacts, but they are not displayed in icontact.

This happened after synchronizing with activesync with Outlook.

I have reinstalled Activescny and Icontact .. still noluck.

But i can see ALL data with default Omnia dialer

Thanky ou for your help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You might try refreshing the "all contacts" cache. I would guess that your contacts database OIDs changed when you reinstalled activesync.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregy1403:
thanky for support .. i tried to enter new contact and all of sudden all numbers appeared :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No problem! Adding a contact makes the all contacts cache refresh automatically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
Please, please, please add an option to run from commandline, jumping straight to the favourites catagory like you can in icontactBE.

Please!

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That feature has been available since July 26, 2008. Just use the "-favorites" command line option.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Popezz:
Great!!

An advice; It would come well to put the icon of "Favorites" in "recents".

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
But items in recents are not necessarily from your phone book.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
I have found a bug in iContact 0.94 version. Open iContact, go to recents and send a message to the number that is not in the contact list. The name comes as "null" and once the message is sent, it is under the name "null", which is incorrect. It should display the number in this scenario.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That sounds reasonable, I'll add it to my list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
I have been playing around with an application launcher found here at XDA called FingerPoint which as the name implies is a finger friendly tool. I think what I like most about this app is that instead of tapping or double tapping on a name/link to select it, you need to swipe the selection from left to right. Using this concept, it's almost impossible to accidently select a link you didn't intend to. And i don't think it takes away from the functionality at all. Actually, I think it enhances it.

Accidently tapping links that I was trying to scroll through is my #1 complaint about anything that is touted as finger friendly. Don't even want to talk about the built-in HTC Call History where I have dialed more than one person at 3:00am :( while playing with my phone. I hope you will give some thought to incorporating this functionality into a future version of iContact. I really think it should be the default for any finger type application. Anybody have a different thought?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Outstanding. Just added it to my SSMaHo path to go straight to Favorites.

Thank you for pointing it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No problem. Admittedly, the command line options aren't clearly documented. The only place they're shown is on the iContact history page, and sprinkled throughout this thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
Perhaps I was unclear. I've just redownloaded this app, yet it still doesn't hve this feature.

I have several catagories or groups within the default winmobile contacts app (work, friends, takeaways etc). Using icontactbe, I can use the following shortcut to jump directly to say, 'friends'.

icontact.exe -favoritescat="friends" openin=1

Absolutely invaluble for finger friendliness. My WAD theme allows nice big pictures with the various groups and subgroups, and hitting the appropriate shortcut works perfectly with icontactbe.

The shortcut command you've included simply opens 'favourites'. Any chance of adding the option?

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatarasi:
Hi, could you please explain for a noob what did you do to add "-favorites"?

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Well, you can map favourites to any one of your winmobile categories. Isn't that the same thing. Or do you want to create many different links for many different categories?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
- Open File Explorer

- Navigate to windows/start menu/programs

- Look for the iContact.lnk file

- Tap and hold the iContact.lnk file until the context menu pops up

- Select the bottom option - Property

- The second line is the path to iContact.exe. It should look like:

"\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe"

assuming you loaded iContact in main memory (if not Storage Card will be at the front of the path).

- Navigate to the end of the path making sure you don't delete anything

- after \iContact.exe" add -favorites, so it will look like

"Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe" -favorites

- Tap OK. All done. Your iContact link will now go straight to the Favorites folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatarasi:
Hi, jimski, thank you very much for taking the time to explain this to me, I learned something new, and I am always excited about that.

Probably it's some setting in my phone, or something, because, first of all, when I open Property, it is written only iContacts.exe. I am writing the complete path there, \Storage Card\Program Files\iContacts\iContacts.exe -favorites, but after I hit OK, the program opens as usual, and checking again the Property, it all came back to iContacts, no sign of the path that I wrote there. Weird. :) Or, maybe not...

Am I doing something wrong, or incomplete?

thank you again

EDIT: I tried again, because first time I forgot to put the "...", as you wrote. However, the scenario run exactly the same.

I have another option when I tap and hold the exe file, "Open with Parameters". I inserted there the -favorites, which did make the program to open in Favorites, but the -favorites "addagio" didn't stick. The second time I tried to open the program went to All Contacts, as in the beginning.

Why do you think that my input there doesn't stick?

EDIT 2: Sorry, my mistake, I was working with the .exe file in Storage Card\Program Files, instead with the link in Start Menu\Programs, as you explicitly wrote. Bummer.

Now, the way I open iContacts is from the dialpad, and although the link in Start Menu\Programs opens Favorites, when I do it from the dial pad, it goes in All People. Is there any way to modify that, also?

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatarasi:
I got it. Eventually I realized that the Contacts button in dial pad uses actually :MSCONTACTS, and I changed the path in

HKLM\ Software\ Microsoft\ Shell\ RAI\ :MSCONTACTS\ 1

Once I added there < -favorites> after "\Storage Card\.....\iContact.exe", all worked as wanted.

thank you very much for your support

all the best
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
OK, good. That's what I was going to suggest. I used SSMaHo to change my path and was able to add the -favorites to the command line, which basically does the same thing that you did with the registry setting (I found MSCONTACTS the other day while tinkering).

Glad you got it worked out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatarasi:
Thank you very much again, you helped me a lot. I really appreciate that.

Hello,

I must get back to those keypad sequency problems. (Posting #770) I work a lot with those keypad numbers on my XDA Diamond - WM 6.1 and all for my usage important ones are saved in my Outlook-contacts.

I switch my call forwarding on and off with the keypad-sequencies, I saved in the speed dialing memory, for example.

This works very good, but.....

..... if I use the sequence via iContact or voice dialing (Cyberon Voice Speed Dial 1.2 Build 080227), I get the following message:

Via direct dialing on the phone, speed dialing or out of the Outlook contacts it works faultlessly.

Does anyone have an idea , why it does not work and how to fix it?

bingo - creating different links to different favourites. works brilliantly for touchscreen/wad.

It works so flawlessly, I really have no idea how people do without it. For me, without this kind of feature, the HTC's absolutely infuriating to use as a phone. Urgh.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
The answer to your question is on the FAQs page:

http://supware.net/iDialer/faq/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Everybody has their own "If HTC/Microsoft/Apple/Google/etc. just had this one more feature it would be perfect" ideas. That is one of the way that Windows Mobile excels, the fact that it is so customizable.

I'll see how I can work that into the next version. It would be a command line similar to:

iContact.exe -category=Friends
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
Well, OK I guess. I have about 450 names in my Outlook contacts list, but there are only about 30 names that I regularly call from my cellphone, so in Outlook they are categorized as; Business, Personal, etc. and also Mobile. I linked my Mobile category to Favorites and viola!, I have what I need, but maybe admittedly not what everyone else needs. iContact has one of the best search features available, so when I need to call anyone else, it's really easy to find the name on the ALL list. I already have too many links on my phone and I am glad that I only need one tap to get to all my contacts. Simple enough for me, just the way I like it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hal203:
Ah, thanks for your answer.

But I dont use iDialer, I only use iContact.

Is this "new" Feature in future also in iContact ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Microsoft doesn't provide an API call to force the built-in dialer to dial USSD codes, that I know of. The only way an app can dial USSD codes is to write a custom dialer. So that would be part of iDialer, not part of iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Popezz:
a search option??

Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
I love hitting a button on my phone that says "pizza", and having icontact instantly pop up with like, 6 names.

I don't mind (in fact, I prefer to have) having extra links on my phone if it means I never have to look at a contact list on a teeny screen with 400 items.

As a few of you have said, each to their own. And yes, the customisation is exactly why I believe winmobile kicks ass (for me). So having an inconspicious little commandline option would be awesome, and a big thank you from me for thinking about including it.

Anyone who doesn't like it, doesn't have to use it :D

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
If you have one specific pizza parlor in mind, you can "create shortcut" to that contact in the start menu. There's a button in the contact details screen in the latest version of iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
I've done that with WAD anyway, for emergency numbers.. will be nice to have an easier way to achoeve the same, thanQ. :)

Don't get me wrong, I love icontact. Once this feature's added, I'll be able to move away from the unsupported icontactBE and join your gang :D

When using iContact in conjunction with iDialer is there a way to truncate 'calling card' entries in iContact? When looking at the recent outgoing calls I see <myGooglenumber>p<pin>p2p<number I care about>.

I know this is the way windows deals with it, is there a way to recognize the prefix, and remove it? and just leave behind <number I care about>?

If there's not a way to do so I might poke through the code and hack it up myself; but I'd likely just only show info after the last 'p', which might not work happily with all calling cards.

-MBirchmeier
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimski:
I file all my business contacts by; LastName, FirstName (Business) so in iContact, contacts are sorted; LastName, FirstName. If I am looking for a contact and can't remember a name but can remember a company, I go over to WM Contacts and type in a few letters to search by company.

I realize that it would be complicated to do this (search) from within IContact and have no problem with my current method, but there is no simple way to get directly to the WM Contacts list from within iContact. I can manager or edit an individual entry, but can't get to the entire list.

EDIT: For now, I have to open Outlook Contacts from my App Launcher, find the Company/Name association, close Outlook Contacts and then go back to reopen IContact.

Would there be a way to jump to the WM Contacts list (same as you do to manage an individual contact) from within iContact, maybe by tapping the "All Contacts" header so that I could do a search? Once I filtered the list and saw the name associated with the company, I could back out into iContact, select the name and then call, SMS, email, etc.

Not a big issue. Just something on my wish list.

Thanks for a very smooth, stable application.

a small glitch

Hi,

Still enjoying your work.

I have found an annoying glitch. This happens whenever there is an update to iContact or iDialer (I upgraded to the latest version of iDialer recently).

I use both those apps plus your GreenButton. They work great together on my WM6.1.

But whenever the 2 main programs are updated iContact develops a strange behavior for a while.

I have it set to close on minimize, tap top left of screen to close. Everything is great if I exit from "All Contacts." However, if I close iContact from favorites, recents, a specific contact, etc. then the program closes as it should but the phone freezes for a few seconds. This is always followed by a white screen from Microsoft asking permission to send an error report.

If I click on details it generates page after page of mysterious, and, to me, meaningless numbers.

If I click on "Don't Send" report, the screen clears and the phone goes back to normal.

As I said, this quirk usually appears after an upgrade to iContact or iDialer and may disappear in a week or two.

I cannot figure out what causes this problem. I can choose the Microsoft option to disable error reporting, but I'm not sure if this is safe if a truly important error were to occur in someone else's program.

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I've seen some errors like this happen every so often. It's probably a memory access bug in the program (like a null pointer exception), and I"ve been trying to track them down. But so far, I've been unable to get them all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rojaa:
It seems harmless, program runs beautifully otherwise.

Is it safe to disable Microsofts error reports?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes, the worst that would happen (at least in my programs) is that the program crashes... so basically it exits instead of minimizes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rojaa:
Thanks. I'll do that.

I'm going to chage Green Button to open iContact. That'll free up a soft key, and iDialer is just a quick finger tap away from iContact.

This is a great system!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
iContact is just a finger tap away from iDialer too :)

I use a regular dialer and contact manager for most of the calls and use iContact and iDialer together for google voice.

The problem is that if i go to a regular windows dialer and try to access my regular contacts it opens iContacts instead and i can't use it since all the calls will be rerouted trough my google voice #. How can i use iContact with iDialer only and not with my windows mobile dialer?

Suggestions

First, BIG BIG congratz for the effort put in this excellent piece of software!!!

I would just like to know if there will ever be any of theese opitions

1. "typing letters" to find a contact because I have 500+ contacts so jumping to a single letter doesn't really help in most cases. Maybe a little tab on the bottom like "ABC" etc...

2.Am I wrong or it doesn't read SIM contacts? Will it ever?

TIA,
