How to change default SMS app?

Subpro,

I have recently installed SMS-Chat to use for my default SMS app but I'm having trouble figuring out how to set it up in iContactConfig.

I put SMSChat.exe in the "SMS Application" box but I don't know what to put in the "SMS App Arguments" box. I've read the info in the settings.ini file but I don't know what "printf" format or "%s" are.

Thanks for any help you can send my way,

peacock93
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
iContact doesn't have an "SMS App Arguments" box. Maybe you have Burt's Edition or Enders Edition.

Hi there,

im using an i900 Omnia and i have to report a minor bug. On the first start of iContacts the upper windows taskbar overlies the iContacts skin. I can only see half of the small arrow and the add favorites-star. After minimize and maximize everything is allright. Anyone with the same problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rim1Flex:
It would be nice if it worked with non-phone models.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
People have gotten it to work by putting phone.dll and sms.dll in the same directory as iContact. However, call history and the ability to make a call, and the icon for the dialpad will be useless for you. You're probably better off using v0.6.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bootheresa:
In the settings in version 0.8 there is a skin update. I downloaded other skins but they don't seem to work proper. Are these for previous version? Thanks, BOO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'm assuming you're talking about downloading skins from my website:

http://www.supware.net/iContact/skins/

The first skin, iPhloki, was updated for v0.8. But the other skins written by Lycox haven't been updated yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bootheresa:
Yes. Thank You for the response. What is that small screen on iPhloki's skin?

Thanks, BOO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
That's just a picture of the skin file itself. There you can see all the graphics that will be used throughout iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bootheresa:
Thanks once again. Fantastic Program and skins. Thanks, BOO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
hey supbro...I found an error with skinning.

If you have "ListItemBackground=ffffff(white)"

and,

"ListItemText=000000(black)"

Then in the details of call history doesnt show up...no matter what you have in for detail text color.

Its odd, they are separate but that is code error. Odd thing is...with black list background with white text, details shows fine.

I can send you my skin to test if you want.

BTW... i like your implementation of config tool better than burts edition. It is much faster to load.

Bug in 0.80 cpl

Hi.

I have found a bug: My pda (TyTN II, unbranded, swdish WM) reboots when I'm trying to run WM settings.

When uninstalling iContact 0.80 or renaming/deleting icontact.cpl the phone works ok, so my workaround is to rename the file to *.cpl.xxx and create a shortcut to, and directly run settings.exe

I always used pocketcm, but this one is much more responsive. I realy like it...keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pw-man:
supbro - just found this app and starting using last week - Excellent job, nice and very responsive on my older Samsung I730 (WM5).

Two thoughts for future enhancements that I wanted to pass along:

1. Set a default section (e.g. favorites versus all contacts versus one of the other "tabs")

2. A filtering function on the all contacts that allows you to filter based on category (same categories used to select "favorite"). I have a few hundred contacts that are pretty well categorized and being able to filter for a specific category would make finding contacts easy for me.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

pw-man
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You can do this now, by passing a command line argument to iContact in its shortcut: -favorites , -recents , -contacts , -dialer , -search .

This is planned for a future version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jimllfixit:
Hi Supbro,

Great app, but i am using the Touch Pro, and is there a way of you adding an app within the settings.ini file to give iContacts a shortcut the one of the softkeys on the screen. I used to use Keyswop on my Kaiser, but nobody has done one for the Touch Pro yet and it can be a pain in opening it up from teh programs tab.

Regards

Rich
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pw-man:
Cool - did not know (see) that. Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It does that too, it replaces the right start key on the today screen, "Contacts". Maybe you have to reboot your phone for it to take effect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jimllfixit:
Tried that, but all it shows is "Phone" on the left key and "programs" on the right key.

Is anyone else having the same problem, or could it be something i am doing. I also did a hard reset and re-installed it, with the same results

Hope you guys can help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] magoo66:
Just stumbled across this program after getting tired of pocketcm... so far I think I found a keeper!

Sorry if this has been discussed already, I am trying to avoid going through 100+ pages... is it possible to set iContact to only show contacts that have a phone number? I several hundred contacts, and at least a hundred don't have phone numbers or even e-mail addresses (mac address book keeps AIM aliases in address book). That's one feature I loved about PocketCM. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Actually, I've never seen anyone mention that before. It might be a good idea to add "auto" categories when adding the category filter. I'll keep that in mind.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] magoo66:
That could work. I think it would be better to have an independent setting, for example "Show only contacts with numbers: yes or no." That way, you can have the best of both worlds: categories AND contacts with numbers.

For example, one of my categories is "family." About half the entries in that category don't have phone numbers (street address for holiday cards). I'd like to be able to filter by category (ie: family), and further refine the search (ie: phone numbers only). That way iContact will show me a list of family members with phone numbers. That's just one example, but I think it explains what I'm getting at.

Thanks for at least expressing interest, I know you do this in your free time, so I'll be patient. :)

This theme is awesome & coooool . . . pointui

Too bad the battery icon are full white, can it be revert back to original Green.

Well Done.

Icontact/SwiftBL WWE Diamond v6.5 Full ROM

Hey guys

I can't get icontact to work as my default contacts bottom after i have installed SwiftBL WWE Diamond v6.5 Full ROM 16mb.

I have tried to remove it and re-install again and again, but it wouldn't work.

I can access the program when i start/program/icontact.

Can anyone please help me?

Scrolling

Supbro,

Love your version of icontact, particularly with the Iphone skin!

However, one suggestion:-

When scrolling up/down the contact list within an alphabet group (i.e. by swiping your figure gently), it is almost impossible to stop the scrolling without ending up selecting a wrong entry. In Apple Iphone, I think they avoided this problem by setting it such that the first tab of the finger will immediately stop the scrolling and only the second tab will allow the actual selection. In another version of the IContact also in this xda forum by a different author, I think they also had this setting.

Is there a easy way to set this in your setting editors or can we expect this in your next version of Icontact?

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chongtw:
2 more Suggestions

Supbro,

Perhaps 2 more suggestions from me for your future versions:-

1. I think the "+" key on the title bar (i.e. All Contacts title bar) is in a awkward location. It is set too close to the battery indicator which means that sometimes when you want to mininise the Icontact screen by pressing the battery bar, you end up selecting the "+" key. Also, when you want to scroll to "A" list along the right side of the phone, it too is too close to the "+" key. Perhaps you would like to consider relocating this key to a different location (i.e. left side of the title bar?)?

2. Is it possible to add a "random access bar" on the right side (like the Iphone) to facilitate scrolling?

Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to make the Favorites show up by default when opening iContact as opposed to having to tap the star icon?

Problems with iContact

Hi,

I can see that everybody is happy with iContact.

It seems I am the only one with a problem with iContact !!!! :(

I installed it on my imate JasJar (WM5) but it didn't work!!

It starts but then shuts down automatically without even showing the names.

The strange thing is that when I tried uninstalling it I found out that I can't start my normal contacts program!!!!

Note: I have more than 1,500 contacts, would this be a problem?

PLEASE HELPPPP

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrbelvedere:
Actually...

There actually is a Random Access bar over there. If you touch where it would show up (and/or scroll up & down) you will see what I mean.

iContact 0.8 breaks Start --> Settings on Omnia

I just installed the latest Omnia firmware: DXHI1 and discovered that after I install iContact, The Start --> Settings menu brings up a 'CPanel.exe' error and shows nothing. I use SpbMobileShell, and I can use the settings Menu to remove iContact. Then the Windows Settings menu is OK again.

I do not think this happened with previous ROM versions, but I cannot be sure because I do not use the Windows Start--Settings menu, I use SPB.

However, once and only once shortly after the ROM flash and while I was installing programs, the Settings menu disappeared in SPB, and also from Windows. I had to hard reset. I can only assume that this happened after installing iContact.

I really appreciate this program and I am willing to invest time in troubleshooting this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EnsconcE:
I have searched this topic and haven't found this suggestion. The new settings editor is nice, but it would be nicer if it was iphone like. I mean the way A_C has done it with his S2U2. It also can be done like the Sound setting app within the new Manilla 2d application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p3ngwin:
love the Icontact App!

thank you for making a very useful app, and well done on the programming too!

i have a suggestion to improve it's usefulness:

when scrolling the contacts, the alphabet letter header is mixed in with the contact names.

that is, the letter is on the left in the same alignment and font/color ,etc as the names.

better to make the letter the separator of the contact groups by having the alphabet letter in the MIDDLE of the screen, in a different font and colour so the names under each section stand out as new groups.

as it is, it is so easy to miss when the letter groups are while scrolling.

the speed of the scrolling, the way the user wants to get to the name group would be helped enormously if the letter groups were as distinct as possible.

the other issue is there seems to be no way to "close" the app unless the hardware button "hang up" is used.

can we have a close app button like most other apps in the corner?

other than that i really can't imagine how it could be improved feature-wise, great job!

I discovered icontacts on my artemis... old phone but it was very good. But on the diamond it seems to me that is slower... and moreover it is very hard to choose a contact, because you have to tap on exactly somewhere... perhaps it comes from vga screen... excpet form this, the application is great :)

Moreover on the diamond i cannot manage to have icontact as the default contact manager.. but i put a soft key for it.

Ciao

how to know the version ?

Dear all,

Using icontact since july, i did not found a way to know witch version i`m running in my kaiser.

Is there a help entry, or an about entry ?

Any idea ?

Best regards,

Laurent
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cacahahacaca:
There may be an automatic way to do it, but the manual way (which does work) is to edit each contact and change the First/Last name order from the "File As" dropdown menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Scroll to the very bottom of any list screen, and drag the list up past the bottom. The version number should be hiding under the very bottom of the list. If it's not there, then maybe you have ender's or burt's edition.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
This is a known bug, that happens with some phone models (but not my Mogul). It will be fixed in the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It uses the "File As" field for alphabetizing. If you want your contacts sorted by first name, you have to change the file as field for all your existing contacts to "First Last" instead of "Last, First". I think there is an option to use "First Last" as default for new contacts, but I can't find it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
What about existing contacts? No way yet to change the way iContact scrolls them?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
"File As" appears on Outlook Contacts on my PC. Not on the mobile device, I hope you will include this as a future option: "Scroll As". Thanks.

Supbro....first off great app, i love this.....i have a quick question about the category settings. Is there a way to implement changing the category in the actual app instead of having to switch to the settings panel then switching the category? I know this was able to happen on the version 1.03 (by the way, im not sure if that was also made by u or someone. The switch in version numbers confused me) Version .80 has been great on my mogul and i love the different themes, if i could only switch my categorys on the fly this would be the best contact app ever......thanks for your hard work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
Ask the Burt's edition author. He has successfully intercepted those keys with no problems on Touchscreen and Smartphones.

Note: Please make your settings editor extensible for other settings (Enders/Burts) and Smartphone friendly (scrollpad usage in place of touch).

For those looking to sort their contacts on a first name basis do a search on here for ContactChanger, it will go through your whole address book and set them to the first/last name setting. Needs to be run whenever you add a new contact but that's a small problem.

Try this Contact Changer. It has been mentioned many times in this and other threads

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
My _guess_ is that SPB Mobile Shell directly runs the Outlook Contacts program (like the Outlook Contacts icon that is installed in your start menu when you install iContact). Once Outlook Contacts has been executed after a reboot, somehow it takes over the contacts and the right soft button on the home screen does not run iContact again, until you reboot again. That's what happens on my phone. So try rebooting, and then do not run Outlook Contacts; press the right soft button and see if iContact runs. Maybe you can update your SPB Shell settings to run iContact instead of Outlook Contacts.

Again, just a guess. But that's what happens on my phone.
