1. ...but it is doable!

2. I've seen this feature in other WM contact managers - but they could be eating up a lot of memory to make it work, yah.

3. The details screen is the 'menu' I was thinking of...I'll try the back button on it, it wasn't working a few versions back. I had to use the left scroll button.

Very small font for my HTC Touch Diamond

Dear Subpro,

This is really a fantastic software. I like it very much.

However, I got a very small font displayed in my HTC Touch Diamond (Chinese version) and see whether anything you can help me to resolve it.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Have you changed something since v0.74 according the exit/minimize function? I have to say that the app is not reacting on pressing the top bar (i'm tapping the battery icon?!), have to tap it with the pen, then it works! Has the tapping area gone smaller?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] loftysnake:
The v0.75 is the first version I installed in my HTC Touch Diamond. The title bar, contact list, etc are using very small font, just too small for human eyes. I used the same version of software for my Dopod 838pro and the font is big enough for finger tapping. Maybe this is the VGA support issue that some of us is waiting for, since HTC Touch Diamond is VGA while Dopod 838pro is QVGA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anheuer:
When will there be VGA support.

i really like this but its all to small on my diamond.

Any news about this?

Call log Issue

I have just tried iContacts 0.75. It's really interesting. I like it very much, especially when seeing its wish list.

But one issue i found out is:

In thread call log, if the contact's name is too long, the string will override the number of call => it's not good.

So if you can change the contact name to spread in to 2 lines or append '...' when it's too long is great. I like contact's name can be spread into 2 lines.

Anyway, so happiness with this software. Tiny, sleek and fascinated - can versus with my friend's iPhone. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rainpl:
Small buttons issue

This contact manager is just great but very small "Back" icon makes it much harder to use. Also "cell phone", "home" etc. buttons could be somewhat larger...

In favor of helping me out I attach Polish translation file for iContact 0.75 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
very soon. it's written and out to the beta testers, there's just a couple more bugs i have to fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] laser21:
Awesome! The touch diamond is terrible to use with this! Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
ignore post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
well supbro, i've already given my opinion about this terrific app.

just wanted to comment.. that it might be a good idea to differentiate incoming from outgoing calls in the recent calls list

also, other than including a configuration app, i think it would be a good idea to add the feature burt used in his version, .. the fastdialing when a contact is pressed for a certain period of time.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TacoLoco:
vga support sounds cool, but I think icontact doesn't work with ppc anymore.. :confused:

last working version was 0.6 or 0.7 I think..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NotLutzik:
What u mean icontact does work with ppc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bsinclair:
if you are talking about ppc2003, yes, the last working version is 0.6, the new ones require WM5 and/or WM6
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emay:
Just a layout issue. If a contact has a picture the phone details don't fit in the first rectangle. The mobile phone number (listed first) is truncated after 11 characters. The other phonenumbers are aligned left and start outside the rectangle.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RWErene81:
I have a problem with my Favorites...my list is empty.

In the contakt, i push the star, in the contactlist, the name ist colored yellow but any contact isn't in my Contactlist. What is wrong?

Please help,

thx RWErene81
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digidigi123:
I have this problem also, but only with the new Beta Version! Version 0.75 works well.

How do we exit from the application once I have looked up a contact or do we keep the app running ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] indiacam:
Waiting for number display...

Hello Developers,

I installed iContact and again removed as I wanted Numbers also to be displayed in small size below Names. It is a great help if we see numbers alongwith Names just like in-built contact.

Also adding new contacts in Phone and in Sim is still not available. Anything can be done for above two things? If yes, this would be a great application.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimcxt10:
iContacts version 0.75 default is to stay open in the background on closing. You can edit your "settings.ini" file to change this to actually close on exit. "settings.ini" is in your main iContacts folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flaviopac:
I don't see any FAVOURITE contacts...

How to add NEW ONE or edit the existing ones?

(In Contacts list some of them are yellows....) :confused:

translating iContact 0.75 to hebrew

I tried to translate it to hebrew

The problem: the SW is using the basic ENGLISH keyboard and because o fthat-all hebrew letters appear as garbage (or greek letters... :confused: )

Hebrew uses different keyboard (for example-when writing SMS I switch between english/hebrew keyboard)

How can I make the program use the hebrew keyboard?

Thanx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jimllfixit:
Oyvay my boy??? thats not easy...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] intellax:
In .75 my carrier name overlaps with the time. I have a long carrier name (Verizon Wireless) but this is the first version of iContact that seems to overlap.

Sorry if this is a repeat question, I searched the tread and didn't see a similar problem. Thanks for a great program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spookydownunder:
Hi, just stumbled on iContacts 0.75 and so far very impressed. I have been searching through the thread and have a comment and a question.

Comment, in thread I noticed someone asked for the "back" button/arrow to exit detail page to be bigger, instead why not use a finger swipe to return to the last page. This would be simpler and leave room for the exit button people seem desperate for.

Question, not being a super techie, if I want to use this as my default contacts list (and there's a fair chance that I would) can I make my phone (HTC Elfin) use this instead of outlook contacts for everything, or at least map my right "contacts" softkey to iContacts instead of outlook. Otherwise I have to open it from programs list each time.

I hope these points haven't been raised before, I couldn't find them but you never know. Otherwise lovely simple, effective add on, please don't make it too complicateed by adding too many features that just aren't necessary, and keep up the good work. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sesaru:
How can I make it works fine in VGA screen? Both buttons and letters are really small, and makes it unusable.

Thanks

Sesaru
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
A finger swipe would be great. Makes you look cooler when using it! lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmg76:
Very Nice looking

Can't wait to try it once I get home! iContact has come a long way.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twma2007:
Is there anyway I can set iContact to the default contact apps for my WM6? I try to find in the net can't find any info. :confused: Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spookydownunder:
Forget that, after a couple of soft resets iContacts now appears to be my default address book. right soft key and everything. Still getting used to it, but still looking nice.

I noticed the secret slide bar thing which is way useful. Is there a website that shows all the little extras for iContacts, or do I need to just read through every page to get all the tips, for ease of use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryce31:
I try it

but It's too small on my diamond

I can't use this with theses littles fonts

Is there a skin bigger?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] appan:
hi, am a new be, i used to had the iContact. 6 smthing then today i upgraded to .75, its perfect, only thing it need to improve inlarge the fonts and add a exit sign, other that its PERFECT, plus i see the ABCD sign on my WING, keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
You can exit just by tapping the very top of your screen, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Trident:
Very nice app- I like how small and quick it is. Scrolling is predictable and fonts are very readable.

Two things I'm having trouble with.

1. Favorites aren't being added to the favorites list and some contacts are highlighted yellow, but aren't there either.

2. I can't figure out how to delete a contact. (Had the same issue with PocketCM. At least there, I found a menu that said "remove"- it just didn't work.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes, tapping the titlebar is the best way to minimize (or exit, depending on your setting.ini file).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makeveral:
Lots of thanks man for the VGA version!!!!! <3
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
New Version - 0.76

A new version is available on my website, see the first post for details. Most requested new feature: VGA support!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I translated it to Swedish if anyone is interested :D

Just replace the two files in /Program Files/iContact

//Drakfisken
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Trident:
I'm still having issues with the favorites.

Somehow a bunch of them are selected as yellow text in the and yellow star in the full contact list, but only a few of them show up in the Favorites list.

I can now add/delete any Favorites except the ones that are highlighted by default but not listed in the Favorites list.

I hope that makes sense.

I'd still like an option to delete a contact.

Spanish lang and black version of "Diamond Colored Skin" from Agamemmnon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kasperok:
Thank You for your great job! :)

I really appreciate latest version with all new features and fixes, but I still miss the way I use to close or minimize icontact073..

By now, with my polaris, i'm forced to tap the small topbar using my nails (not so sensitive, really boring..). In the old one release I was able to close icontant easily, just sliding down my finger form the top of the touchscreen (or tapping the topbar).. :(

Bye

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I thought that worked. Took me a while to figure it out, but I did eventually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kanchunghk:
Good job I wait for VGA version long time! Thank you so much!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] woodfish:
Is it possible to add threaded sms inside iContact? That would be very useful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] loftysnake:
It just works very very nicely on my diamond. Thanks so much for your professional work. The tiny little thing that still missing is the language translation of "Favorites" which is still English in my Chinese version of diamond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyrilphoenix:
Heelo,

It's my first reply here :)

So first thanks for all, it's a very great software !

Actually in fact I use iContact and .... pocketCM :) why ? because two are great, I can't decide which keep ...

Do you plan to include SMS feature, threadedSMS in fact ?

I think it will be a must have :)

A another must have suggestion, a category filter :)

Thanks for all
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] theduke81:
Thanks a lot, finaly icontact on Diamond

Here below, my version of defaut.png for those who wants.

Is it possible to put a bigger resolution for the png ?

On my diamond, it is hard to select, I does not understand if I want to select the contact or show teh list

tshuss
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
SMS is a different application, it would be better to have another app that looks like iContact that works together with iContact for good integration. Somebody mentioned to me that they were going to try to do it, starting with the iContact source code, but I haven't heard anything about it since then. I just don't have time to write it myself. I think the threaded sms app of windows mobile 6.1 works pretty well.

I do want to add categories (other than favorites), you can see it on the wish list on my web site.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NoBody20013:
hi,

cool that you made a VGA version. But i have a problem- i can only choose a contact with difficulty.... it always scrolls the list when i tap on a contact... (i have large fingers...) is there a way for me to make the tap (choose) better? that it dont srolls?

-thanks for icontact
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyrilphoenix:
Happy to know that category will come :)

In fact I can be agree with you for SMS :) So we hope you will find time to create "iSMS" :):) please ....

Do you remember this member, may be we can contact him ?

Thanks for all
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pilgrim011:
First of all - I must say this is a killer application - you're doing a great job, supbro!:) And second:

I don't like this option - it gives me (subjective) impression that operation(to be precise - loading all contacts) is slower then before...:( I hope that next release will be "waitcursor-free", until then, I'll be using 0.75 version. Once more - thank you for this wonderful app.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
What categories do you have stored in your phone? It could be that if you have a category named "My Favorites" (or something with the word "Favorites" in it), then iContact will detect that even if it doesn't show up in your list of "Favorites".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You're welcome! You can change the "Favorites" category by modifying settings.ini. That will also affect the title on the favorites screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No, it's just as fast as it was before. I'm working on "removing the wait cursor" by speeding it up. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'm working on a settings editor, and I have a good idea for all the people who want lower click sensitivity.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zeo2k:
For some reason iContact is no longer taking over the regular Windows Contacts on my phone. is it because of the new HTC Touch update that came on last week?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fego:
Congratulations! And a small suggestion

Congratulations! Fabulous application! I l-l-love it!

So smooth, yet lightweight, I wasn't happy about PocketCM (too heavy for my poor Elf 64MB), but this one's great.

Small suggestion: Currently iContact offers something that windows mobile contact don't and that's the cool and smooth interface, the easy navigation etc. There's random access that integrates with normal contacts, but then touch scrolling doesn't work.

Now an editor would be very nice, but again it should offer something that normal WM editor doesn't, and that's gonna be difficult. Instead of making the application heavier with an editor (which is not so often used), I would rather develop SMS browsing, maybe threaded SMS? The same as you have integrated call history (which is also very cool). Of course it's up to you, you are the owner of this application.

Thanks again for this fantastic app! Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Sometimes this happens if your outlook contact manager is already running... rebooting usually fixes it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pilgrim011:
@ferrangomis, it's not a good idea to incorporate threaded sms or any other option that isn't necessary for a contacts application, because this fantastic app would grow too large and would become RAM "eater"... I think the best in this app is it's speed, and that would be lost if unnecessary things are added. Btw., threaded sms is not an option everobody likes - for example, I hate it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anheuer:
I love it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pilgrim011:
Ok, but that's not the point of my post. Crucial thing is - we do not want slow, RAM hungry contacts app. I think we all agree with that.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anheuer:
Thats true,

But it should not be a problem as long as you dont use that part of the app?

As far as i know when you use PocketCM, the number of smsses per person are counted but the actual sms conversation is not loaded untill entering that part of the app.

correct me if i am wrong...

p.s. i thought i read that a config menu will come,

maybe a sms function enable/disable would make everybody happy?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m.schmidler:
Why did you remove the ability to close, when tapping on "white-space" at contact-detailed-view ???

As I said 2 months or so ago, its just much quicker as tapping on the top-left button, which I hardly can reach with my right thumb.

I know, many other members liked this feature as I did, please, add it again or at least make it an option in the settings.ini !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] loftysnake:
Thanks supbro. The change does work. Previously I thought those language specific settings are to be put in the *.lng file. I then copied the english.lng file into a new file called chinese.lng and modified the content for chinese language. I had added "Favorites=常用連絡人" into the file. It seems like the iContact did not get this translation for the Favorites title.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No, there's no "Favorites" key in the language file. The reason it's in settings is because you might want the star button to display a category other than "Favorites". For instance, you might want it to display "Family". In this case, the family members would show up yellow, be displayed when you press the star, and also the word "Family" will be displayed as the title on that list. So this is not a language-specific setting, but a user-specific setting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlk:
subpro, I am sure this has been asked for, however, searching through 97 pages of posts would just take too much time (sorry)... is it possible to have another "key" on the "alphabet page" to signify for the search to start, this could even be parameterised for those that like the way it searches now? What I mean (just in case my drivel is unclear) is that we type say "AS" then "Search button" and a search is performed for all contacts that contain the string AS in either surname or firstname.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] loftysnake:
Thanks supbro for your prompt explanation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] prscott1:
Great work !!! Thank you so much. the command line parameters are very helpful!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You're welcome!

Just curious-- what are you using the command line args for?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Starflake:
This is really great news! :)

But is it possible to change the blue background to another color? (I don't like the blue one :D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Can you share this skin with us?

Real VGA Theme

Is it possible to use 480x640 skin file? I can do it, if anyone can give me information how to share skin file in proper way. I mean, what are the sizes of navigate buttons in VGA theme etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
No, it's not possible with the current version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] keko001:
it will be nice if the photo is bigger why so smaal iff you have a big screen ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Where has everybody gone? Is iContact perfect now? :)

I'm working on a settings editor, with finger-friendly UI like iContact. It will be in the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] im1badazchick:
LOL..I'm still using 0.75 which was perfect and has never given me any problems whatsoever and i absolutely love it:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jfg69:
So far working good, I just need smaller fingers or better yet, bigger buttons!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fego:
AGREED! :D

That's exactly why I don't want an editor. But you are right about threaded SMS, if you don't like it you don't like it.

Conclusion: keep it as it is! It's a great, fast, cool looking app! I love it!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
1. The email account setting is in settings.ini, and it's case sensitive.

2. The .cab installer should have made the program the default contacts program. It's just a couple registry settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
For those of you who want ABC back... what would you suggest it display when you are looking at call history?

+---+---+---+---+
| a | b | c | d |
+---+---+---+---+
| e | f | g | h |

..etc for contacts is fine, but

+---+---+---+---+
| today
| yesterday
| wednesday

doesn't work so well...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Hmm, not sure how the coding works for this program. Would something like this work:

^ = Today

< = Previous day

> = Next day

So instead of having what you have for "today," "yesterday," "wednesday" etc... We could just click on the arrow that I am suggesting to go to the corresponding day, etc... The < = Previous could tap on and would go from today, to "wednesday," next tap to "Tuesday," etc...

EDIT: also, aren't the horizontal +---+---+---+---+ separator lines missing from the day portion like the abc... has?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rwertz14:
Diamond Theme

I sure would love for you to apply a diamond theme to this app. With the excellent job you have done with the Minimal Dialer and Throttle Launcher, I know you could do something awesome for this app as well. I hope to see it soon. :) Also if you could look at doing some sort of diamond theme with ThumbCal as well would be great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
supbro, can you please refer to the changing of the skin according to the time of day.. and the closing of the application after a call is made?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tft:
uhm selecting ABC is way faster to find a contact. you must only have like 20 contacts that you didn't seem a need to include ABC selection menu. who wants to scroll thru 300 contacts?

there is plenty of space on the right side to add a ABC menu, i don't see why you would need a scroll bar anyway, thats what touch flow is for.

and maybe you should put the default tel phone number below their name and make the name font smaller, it will still be finger friendly..

if you aren't interested in any of this then maybe give the user some options in a menu..

just some suggestions and take them with a grain of salt!

but i'll stick with the other versions of contacts for now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wim26:
i also like the abc keypad. +1 abc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JNasty:
Another ABC user

ABC menu is a must have. It was extremely finger friendly and much much faster than the new scroll feature. Bring back ABC or at least have an option for it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faymus:
hate to jump on the bandwagon but thats what switched me from pocketcm the abc feauture. I installed this one and its nice, but had to go back to the previous one bacause of the abc. Thanks for picking up the project though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santocha:
For me ABC menu is the best. For call history I don't use it much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Khmer123:
Where can i download ABC keypad at?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ov2rey:
0.7 don't have... unless u go back to 0.6
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreshah:
also scrolling is very slow on my device..
