The only change that has been introduced in that area is that contacts from Call History are now searched by phone number first, and then by name if number has not been found. Is there any difference in phone number between normally working contacts and wrong ones?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
hmm, I have not seen this problem in the earlier versions (6.3.x).

Could it be a problem that the number in the history is a "continous" number like

+43676123456789

but in the contact database it is like

+43 676 12345-67 89

Just right now I played arround the history and going back "into time" I tried a number of contacts from the history list and now suddenly my phone is freezing.

Only soft reset helps.

truburt, I think I found a bug in 6.4 Final

The Skin Parameter "DetailsDefaultNumber" is no longer working...

I used it in previous Versions to color-highlight the default number in my contact details page...

No matter what I tried.. it just ignores the DetailsDefaultNumber color setting. (Smart Dialing Number is turned on)

I restored my old icontact.exe (Version 6.3.x) and it worked like a charm...

I even copied the "DetailsDefaultNumber=33FF33" string to the default skin of 6.4. changing nothing else inside the skn file.. its not working..

Another question..

Usually I use a modified version of "Diamond Skin" and with the old versions of icontactBE those "default number" Arrow on the left side of the telephone icon was not there.. but now its showing up and overlaying the telephone icons..

In conclusion i have now...:

Arrow | empty icon over the telephone icon | number without coloring

Could you check that please?

Thanx in advance!

I think there's a problem with deleting contacts from the details page. I had the need to delete a bunch of duplicates and as I deleted a horizontal grey bar appeared through the taskbar (where it says Delete?) and only some of the deletions actually occurred. It was pretty random as to which would actually delete. I ended up going back to the built-in contact manager in order to reliably delete contacts.

Same problem happens to me. It's peculiar because sometimes the button (the one circled in dingolino's post) works but sometimes it doesn't, all in a single session with the same number. It's like I pressed the button, it worked. Then, I went back to history and pressed the same number again, now, it didn't. Then I continued to try, it worked for like 3 times and then all of a sudden it didn't work again (with the very same number in history). I didn't do anything else but just kept on going to history and then picked a number and pressed contact button. It's like a random thing.... Hope this can be solved soon.

I am using diamond with a cooked rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
Good description of the problem - better than mine!

Exactly what I see on my end.

Claus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
I'll fix these ASAP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Well, I will try to detect the issue, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
I'll check that, thanks!

Actually, the gray bar is a load progress indicator, it is displayed on loading of each list, so that's ok. But not deleted contacts are the issue. I'll try to reproduce it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bonsifunk:
hey is it compatible with HTC Magician/XDA II mini (wm2003se) ?

and how to recover broken mscontact?

thanx y'all..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
No, it is not compatible, Windows Mobile 5 or higher required.

Restore your mscontact by installing this CAB: Outlook Softkey Mapper
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Well, I guess I figured out a problem with going to Contact from Call History: there's a bug related to Pictures in Call History. Try to enable pictures in history and see if it works fine. I'll fix this asap.

Settings

truburt,

I got a couple of questions for you after cooking a ROM with iContact Burt Edition 6.3.1

1. I prefer to sort my contacts by first, last name and I can't seem to find that setting?

2. how do you remove the phone numbers from being displayed on the contact screen? I have MANY contacts with NUMEROUS number and I like my contact list to be compact and clean.

I saw on you site this isn't an option just wondering if you will be releasing a version where it will be.

I am using Fun Contact right now, but I like how yours loads quicker and has the picture on the contact list, and the Jump-To keyboard instead of scrolling

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pp56825:
truburt,

can you make in new release option to open contact tab with T9 keys already on.

Skin icon problem

Burt,

Installed 6.4 & still have the issue, have provided .skn file as attached - good luck & thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbju:
Wow, it works! Thanks a bunch!!

Just want to let you know I love your version of iContact A LOT. I tried the ones out there but I think yours fits my needs/requirements best. Love you!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
1. The setting isn't from icontact, rather from the contact detail screen. At the contact detail screen, scroll down to "file as" you should see the options of Last name, first name or first name last name.

2. I forgot how to do that, but it seems that it was defined in the skin file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meanfishy:
I have re-cooked a ROM and removed incontact burt so before I do another ROM and have to reset all my data I would like to make sure that;

to file first,last does it have to be done for each contact? or can it be done once nad have all contacts changed?

Where would I need to look to make sure this is possible before I cook a ROM.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
The following command line arguments were added for iDialer integration:

-favorites, -recents, -contacts, -dialer, -search

I guess you should do the following:

1. Set 'T9 Search By Default' in options

2. Create a shortcut to iContact with the following:

\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe -openIn=2 -search

Then it will open iContact on contacts tab and popup T9 search.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
1. It's possible only through Outlook's File As field. Order swapping should be done for each of existing contacts.

2. If you mean numbers displayed in contact list under contact's name, then just turn off 'Show Dialing Number' option. If you mean to hide some of the numbers in Contact Details screen, then there is no such option available.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Bugfix: BE 6.4.5

Changes:

- Fixed drawing of default number in Contact Details (indicator icon placement fixed, DetailsDefaultNumber color used)

- Fixed going to Contact Details from Call Details with call history pictures disabled (also fixes bug where button 'create contact' was still accessible after creating contact from call details)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frederikk:
Hi, first of all, great app !

I got a problem with your last version... in fact when trying to go to details of certains contacts, it freezes icontact ! Only can close it and launch it back again and same error.. it only happens to several contacts... most of them works good...

I'm trying to edit those contacts, but now icontact is my default contact manager.. can manage to go to the default manager :(

Edit 1 : Strange... uninstalled icontact, edit the contact with the default contact manager, then reinstalled, it seems ok. So it probably comes from a corruption in the contact... but don't know how. I'll search why.

Edit 2 : ok i found, i mean i think.. it comes from a category called "throttlephotodial', and all contacts tagged with this category did not work. I edited them with outlook and synchronise them again and it looks ok.

But don't kknow what is this category.... :-(

Ciao

Hi burt,

I got an issue.

In the config, I select the exit on action but it doesn't exit.

6.3 worked just great. Now it dials or send to sms but doesn't shut down Icontact.

I run on a diamond with official rom.

Thanks

Characters

Hi truburt, I have a strange issue in the italian translation... We use characters like "ì, ù" specially in week days (for example: lunedì=monday, venerdì=friday) This characters aren't show in this version. I see "luned" insteadof "lunedì" "pi" instead of "più" and so on.

Never mind: I solved editing the lng file. I attache it here.. (The archive is a rar, rename zip in rar...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chihliouma:
Hi Truburt, would you please advice how to change the text color of "favorite" people to what I want in the skin. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] haizhung:
Thanks for the quick fix!

DetailsDefaultNumber is now working again... Makes me really happy!!

Besides that, still having the issue with the "arrow icon" next to the default number overlaying the "phone/mobile/fax" etc icons..

Is it a skin config parameter or something else wrong?

Haizhung
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
I'll check it, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Could you please do a screenshot and post it here to check?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
You need to open the .skn file of the skin you use with Notepad, find there

ListItemFavoriteText=dcdc00

And change 'dcdc00' to a desired color.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thex:
burt,

is it possible to add the "company directory" search capabilities to iContact?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dkotoric:
Great App thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] midafaya:
great job ! thanks for the update
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] haizhung:
Please see attached my screenshot..

As you can see:

- Green is my "default number" Workin again! :)

- In front of the green number is the phone icon overlapped by an empty icon which should be the arrow icon..but now icon visible..

- The + sign is a bit overlapping the phone icon too.. but i guess thats correctable with DetailsIndent?

- Is it possible to remove the Icon on the right side behinde the numbers?

Thankx in advance!

i see many of missed call on list for today, but they should not be there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregy1403:
hi

I have two questions regarding this great app.

- Should iContact replace default contact? As for know i still see old contact list .. i have to run iContact if i want to see it

- in missing calls list there are strange numbers like -24569456897 .. which is either not prefix number not our operator numbers .. i do have this contact in Contacts

- How do you make these screenshots for posting them here?

Thank you for all the answers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rollrsk8ter:
Thanks for this application, so much better than stock contact application GUI.

Using icontact 6.4 on a HTC Touch Diamond running juicy's 2.6 ROM.

I had many contacts with old different categories from old phone (Sanyo M1). So I wanted to update many categories for many contacts. In icontact I click favorites, then favorites again to pull up a list of my categories, choose one....say... family, then I started editing entries. Click John, update category and save. then click on Mary, and edit and it starts editing acne company. I can reproduce this over and over again. If you are in favorites of any category and start editing contacts, change category, save, then choose another contact it edits a completely random contact.

thanks for all you do!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jokes On You:
If you go to the customization website on the first page there is on the right side that says iContact Softkey mapper. You should try that
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregy1403:
Thanx .. i installed it .. now how to use this .. i was looking for settings somewhere somwhow .. nothing ..

btw. Do you also get those strange numbers. I use Omnia too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
1. As you've already been advised, use iContact Softkey Mapper, then you'll be able to bring iContact by clicking on Contacts softkey. But this may not work for your device if it doesn't use standard system options for contacts.

2. This problem is often visible on Samsung devices. Run Configurator, go to Interface tab and uncheck the 'Get Call History From Database' checkbox. That should help.

3. There are a number of ways, simplest is to download a screen grabber software. I use a tool called CapSure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Well, it is normal that default number icon overlaps the phone icon. What is not normal is that it is drawn opaque. That should be the skin problem, since it does not reproduce on original skins. Could you please provide .png and .skn files you use, so I could validate them?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Thanks a lot for a description! I'll fix this bug in the nearest time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] meanfishy:
More questions

Thanks for the reply,

1. is there any other way? I mean I have over 600 contacts and to have to go through each one and change the file as field seems totally impractical. One of the options when building a ROM using PPCGeeks-BuildOS is to have 2 different filing option installed.

a) File as First Last - Adds a new "FileAs: Comp L, F" command to the Tools menu in the Contacts app. This one is what I currently have in my custom ROM and it works with Fun Contacts

http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=37053

b) Contact Changer - Allows you to change the file-as flag on all of your contacts at once to put first name (or company name) first.

http://shubaroo.com/index.php?module=contact

I have tried both of these using ver 6.3.1 and neither of them are showing up

This is what I am talking about, having the number displayed under the contact's name in the contact list :D

Thanks again

Nice I Need To Try -

With The Older Version i Had A Problem Were I Would Always Have To Go To Task Manager To Close The App

Once It Starts It Always Runs In The Back round Even if You exit Out Of It Which Eats Up Memory, The Only Way To Complete Shut Was With Task Manager.

Is There Away Around This
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregy1403:
Thank you for your reply.

I have installed mapper, but only way i can get into iContact is to click Add new contact .. now i can see icontact, or if i run it from Programs.

Are there any additional things that should be done with mapper, to get all "contact keys, buttons functions" connected to iContact?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chihliouma:
it won't work.

Oct. 31: iContact BE 6.4.5 update

Here goes another beta of 6.4.5 update:

- Fixed bug with call not shown in Call History if Get Call History From Database is off and only one call exists in the log

- Fixed list update on adding/removing categories through Outlook Edit Contact window

- Fixed Exit On Action option

Please test it. If its OK, I'll make a release.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregy1403:
Hi

As you can see on picture one there is Call Log icon (colored red)

When i click on it, i receive standard call list (picture 2).

Then later if i click on Dialer i still see original Dialer (picture 3), and when i click on Phonebook on this picture is still original phonebook. Now, when i click on New, to add new contact i see iContact (picture 4)

Something is and something is not calling icontact?

I have used Softkey mapper, installed it .. no luck

Thanx for support
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
The only thing Softkey mapper does is replacing '\Windows\poutlook.exe Contacts' to '\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe' in the following registry key: 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS'. This changes all 'Contacts' calls in default Windows Mobile 5/6 interface tools. As I can see, you're using a non-system software, which may use some other settings. You should refer to the documentation of your software to check if there are any options to configure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregy1403:
what do you mean by using non-system software .. i haven't installed any other ROM. I'm using SPB Mobile Shell 2 .. if this is what you're thinking ..

sorry .. noob :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
That's what I mean, SPB Mobile Shell 2. It seems that it uses some other settings, not the one described in my post. Maybe you should ask for key assignment in Mobile Shell topic.

iContact BE 6.4.5 Released

I have released 6.4.5. It is a bugfix edition that fixes recent default number in details, go to contact from history, list refresh on add/remove categories, Exit on Action and single history entry bugs.

Files are available at my homepage and are attached to the first post of the topic as well.

I've also started a RSS News feed on my site, so you could always be in touch with latest updates. That's despite the AppToDate support, which is also a nice way to keep updated :)

Feature Request

I just found this iContact MOD and I am impressed of its additional features. May it be possible to get a version with themes and langfiles being loaded from the installation directory? I would like to cook this app into my ROM but creating tons of subfolders in windows directory for each application is stupid. Maybe the Path for Themes and language directory can be made customizable via settings.ini?

New Feature / Bug Fix

I don't know if this should be a new feture or a bug report, but there is no way to search for a contact in the corporate directory when using this. I love this program, but I search the corporate directory for phone numbers all of the time with my device.

Currently I have to open a new email, search the directory for the email address, and find the phone number that way (more steps involved then just hitting "menu" on contacts then going to the directory). Is there a way to add this? Thanks,

Regarding AppToDate Support

- Works basically :)

- I added an icon named icontactbe.ico to the apptodate folder to show the icon in the apptodate application. Thats suggested in the apptodate Documentation. Maybe you want to add that icon to your install .cab file in the next release? The icon must be placed in the same folder than the apptodate xml file (\Application Data\Apptodate\)

- How about the keeping of icontact settings when you update via apptodate? Will it keep your settings or just overwrite with the "default" settings.ini coming with the cab file? Coz i dont want to loose my settings and reconfig manually when i can update automatically ;)
