SIM Phone Book Entry format - what to do with the data!

#pragma comment(lib, "cellcore.lib")

HSIM	hSim = NULL;	// Handle to SIM

ZeroMemory(pbyteInUse, (simcaps.dwMaxPBIndex - simcaps.dwMinPBIndex)/(sizeof(*pbyteInUse)*8));

// Iterate through the entries, adding valid PB entries to the contact list
for(DWORD i = simcaps.dwMinPBIndex; i <= simcaps.dwMaxPBIndex; i++)
{
// assume: error means location is not being used
if (SUCCEEDED(SimReadPhonebookEntry(hSim, dwLocation, i, &spbe)))
{
// TODO: Add the contact to iContacts list!

// Update PB usage cache
pbyteInUse[(i-simcaps.dwMinPBIndex)/(sizeof(*pbyteInUse)*8)] |=

}
}
}

if (NULL != pbyteInUse)
return TRUE;
}

SimDeinitialize(hSim);
hSim = NULL;
}

return FALSE;
}

This is modified from the Microsoft samples, but I haven't had time yet to work out how to add contacts to iContacts list without them coming from Outlook.

InitializeSIM() needs to be called before you can work with the SIM, and then LoadSIMContacts() can be called. It should go through all the SIM entries, and the data can be got from spbe.

Good luck to anyone interested!

uninstall

Hi,

I have to uninstall icontact, because you don´t see the further informations like adress etc.

If I uninstall icontact I can´t use the standard contact manager anymore. I get the message that the system can´t find icontact.

How can I make the link to the standard contact manager?

Please help me!

Sorry for my bad english!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
With iContact you can see the further details by clicking "manage contact" on the details screen.

Also with iContact installed you can still get to the original contact manager by clicking "Outlook Contacts" in the start menu.

Uninstalling iContact should restore your home screen button... but if it doesn't, you can restore it in the registry with this cab.

Hello

I installed the new version but I can't see the pictures I have assigned for my contacts.

I can see the pictures in the contacts details, but not in the contacts list.

It worked very well in the previous version...

Any configuration is missing from my part or is it not possible now? If not i'll go back to the previous version.

Thanks for your good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I don't think this version has ever had contact pictures in the list. Maybe you're thinking of iContact BE?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xitulofica:
Hummm....

Maybe... Let me check which version I had before. But if you say this version never had pictures, then must be it.

But can you tell me what is the difference then between these two, besides pictures

Thank you so much for your answer
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I think it's down to personal preference. I prefer this one as it does what I need without using much RAM, others prefer other editions which do slightly different things.

Hi,

Sorry if this has already been asked it and I couldn't find it in the FAQ and I also tried to make a search inside this thread but I couldn't find something related.

I'm testing your application and it looks very good on my HTC Fuze.

The problem that I have is 90% of the cases when I press on a contact inside the list, the list just gets centered on the position of my finger instead of selecting the contact. Is there some tweaking that I can do for avoiding this problem or it is a known issue?

TouchFlo3D works fine for me.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I decreased the touch sensitivity for VGA screens in the next version. It has some other major updates for VGA too, like much smoother scrolling, faster load time, and contact categories! I'm working hard to be able to send it out to beta testers as soon as I can.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xitulofica:
In fact, you are right. I was using icontact BE before.

I'm going back to that one, because I got used to the contact pictures in the list, only by that.

I can tell you that I used your version this time and it's very very good. Congratulations on that, it's excellently developed. I'm only changing back because of what I said before.

So congratulations on your great work and congratulations on the great support you provide in this forum, not everybody does it...

Thank you so much, keep rockin!!

Hi,

i have two questions. Sorry if they are already discussed in this thread, but i cannot find anything about it

1.) It is possible to integrade iContact + iDialer in SPB?

2.) How can i exit iContact with getting back to SPB and not to the normal WM6.1 screen?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I think you should be able to press the top bar and you should return to whatever was displayed before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syrguy1969:

HTC Touch Cube malfunction

I love the new iContact but when I slide TouchCube up once it works fine. The next time I try to use the TouchCube my phone freezes.

I also cannot open PointUI 1.51a after I use iContact. I have to do a soft reset every time I make a phone call.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rodolforeis:
Yeah... Me too! After the first use, TouchCube doesn't work anymore!

I installed in HTC Touch ELF0100 WM6... I really loved this app, but i can't use it, and, it seems there is no other one similar that... Default Contact Management is so sucks! :)

Screen sensitivity

Is there a way to control (decrease in my case) screen sensitivity ?

On my Samsung Omnia I find it difficult to scroll without inadvertently selecting an entry. I think my new ROM flash made it worse for iContact as overall (in other programs) I find the screen more responsive. It looks like an increase (by Samsung) in screen sensitivity is affecting iContact.

Maybe a setting to control the duration of a screen press required to make a selection?

Thanks,

Frank
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:

not clearing entire screen on omnia

i have an omnia and going between different screens (i.e. from contact list to detail) the top (and sometimes bottom) still has previous screen's graphics showing through. i think this has to do with the odd size (240x400) of the omnia's QVGA screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bouvrie:
I've got an Omnia too, and somehow after installing (& rebooting) both iContact and iDialer, I found that my Start Menu's Settings folder was emptied. I renamed the folder & created a new folder with the same name & while this restored the link, Windows is unable to access its contents (or takes ages loading anyway).

Just figured I'd post this heads up, just in case something would be off in the setup for either iContact or iDialer.

As for both iContact and iDealer, I can't seem to be able to close/terminate and exit them. Did you omit a close button?

i am interrested in developping an application from the source code of iContact, and so i have a question: why the Settings program is different between delivered version and the one i get when compiling it myself ? and are you planning to make a version with "full contact edition support" (ie not using the windows mobile application and becoming more finger friendly)

I just downloaded iContact 0.81 and it is a wonderful app. I do have one suggestion though. I notice that while scrolling I find myself inadvertently selecting a contact quite often. I saw in a previous post that you are going to "desensitize" for sensitive screens, but I thought it may work good if you had say the right half of the screen for scrolling and the left half for selecting the contact. Maybe as an option. Just a suggestion. Again, great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Thanks!

You're having the opposite problem than what most people are reporting. They've reported not being able to select a contact because the list accidentally scrolls. I've actually made updates to fix both problems.

To address your problem in the next version, if the list is scrolling already, clicking will just stop the scrolling, and not actually select the contact.

If so, I suggest you try and download it on your computer and copy it across to your device, or use Opera.

That's not a feature. What you get instead is a small memory footprint and silky smooth scrolling.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I'm loving the new version generally, bit have a few bugs/issues.

1 may be a feature, in the calls tab, with no calls the favourites are displayed with a date in '95, the date part annoys me

2 the graphics look great on QVGA, but they'reless good in VGA, as the scaling isn't perfect. Any chance of VGA skins?

3 there's no quick way of changing the favouritescategory. I did give a suggestion some time ago, hit perhaps the implementation was more complex than I thought.

Anyway, thanks for your excellent work on this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
A soft reset may solve both of those.

What are the main differences between iContact and iContact BurtEdition?

I have never used the non burt editin before, so please tell me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
This version is optimized for speed and smaller RAM amounts, whereas BE sacrifices some of the speed for things like contact pictures in the list. Try both out, and see which one you prefer! (I personally like my RAM, and like speed, so this is better for me, but you may have different priorities!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jonson?!:
Love this app! Quick suggestion though: you should include an option to keep the WM Taskbars visible and to omit the iContact status bar on top. It would integrate better with TouchFlo, default dialer etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] M.A.S.:
Bug or purposeful?

Amazing program...

BUT:

Only happens to me, or the "recent" tab doesn't automatically update (v. 0.9)?

Perhaps this is purposeful (speed)? I said "perhaps", because with a double click in the "recents" icon, the list will be updated (as in contact).

BTW...Do you pretend add the search by keyboard for contacts?? (not only by the first letter)

(sorry my bad english.. ;) )

Hi.

I'm using your latest version integrated with mobile shell on my touch cruise. It is working great.

I have one request though and maybe you can implement this.

When I call icontact from within spb mobile shell there is no way to go back. I have to press the red phone button and then spb mobile shell also closes. Is there anyway to minimize iContacts without using the red phone button ?

Maybe you can add a button to minimize or exit iContact instead of trying to tap the top part of the screen (the top bar sometimes gets covered and you cant see the "X")

Phone Button Problem with New Version?

Just downloaded the .9 version on my Samsung Omnia and really like, however; my Hard Phone button (not the hangup one) is dead. It does nothing on the Today Screen. It used to take me to Samsung's Dialer, however; now it is dead.

Any Help or issue known?

I also installed iDialer and Green Button.

iContact v0.9

This version is awesome, The SPEED, the SCROLLING, the TRANSITIONS, all excellent :) However when I click on the "Recents" button and then click on any of the Names listed inside... All I get displayed is "Garbage Characters" that look more like dashed vertical lines (or ticker-tape).

- Also Note: inside the iContact "Configuration" it still displays iContact v0.8 at the bottom

( I know that it is actually v0.9 because of the changes).

Thanks again,

I will be giving you a donation soon.

Search by Name?

Is there a way to search by name?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes, the lists are cached now, for speed. If you keep iContact running in the background, it will detect new calls, but if you have "ExitOnMinimize" then you will probably have to manually refresh it. (You can refresh it with by clicking the tab of the list you're already viewing).

I'm working on how to make that work more smoothly. But since I hadn't put out a release in a couple months, I wanted to make sure everybody had all the rest of the latest updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
If this happens, you can try to delete the "recents.dat" file in the iContact program directory to delete the cache file.

iContact v0.9 problem with "Recents" list

I deleted the "recents.dat" file located in the iContact directory as per your request. The file as obviously rebuilt as the next launch displayed the busy windows symbol and the recents list came up more slowly.

HOWEVER: clicking on any name still resulted in "Garbage characters" :(

I though that maybe my Original Windows mobile Caller List file was maybe

corrupt or just maybe too big so I dumped it.

And tried iContact v0.9 again...

Please Note: If there are NO calls in the Original Caller List file iContact v0.9 was displaying the "allcontacts" list yet it still maintained the Day/Time of each call that was logged.

I tried rebooting, and now with a virtually empty call list

(Only one outgoing Call) the original problem with touching the name displayed in the "Recents" call list still displays "Garbage Characters"

Hope this helps in troubleshooting...
