[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Thanks :)

Please modify your .skn file (probably you use burt.skn?), find ListSecondaryWidth=40 there and change it to ListSecondaryWidth=50, or even to a greater number. That is a width of time, in pixels.

I guess I'll do it with the next release, thanks for the idea :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Will put this in TODO list, thanks! Meanwhile, you can use a virtual scrollbar to move through favorites quickly: just scroll along the right edge of the screen, approximately within 20-pixels range from the right edge.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yes, this is a known bug. It reproduces on my HTC Touch too. Unfortunatelly, I haven't found a way to fight it yet. Would be grateful for any help with this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] superflysocal:
So does this mean the program is not compatible with HTC Touch? I had it on my Touch with no probs. No I just updated with the latest Official Sprint ROM, and icontact runs but gives an error message on startup. It does run however, but the title bar either doesn't start, or it does but has a wifi icon on top (Sprint Touch does not have WIFI!). One thing the new ROm added is hardware GPS is activted. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Wow you have all the grounds covered! Thanks, this totally fixed the problem!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
I can't get the smart dialing functionality to work. I added the little arrow to my skin but its not showing up either. The arrow shows in the default and white skins. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
ok no more lag... but it does appear to be crashing frequently after you start it up?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
no crashes for me thankfully
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Ok, never mind...I got the smart dialing thing to work. I switched back to default and held it until the arrow changed to a different number in details view.

So how come I can't see the white indicator arrow that shows next to the number that I added to my skin? It is in the same exact spot (to the right of the sim card). Why???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Strange... I don't see any crash even with SmartDialingNumber on.

I just created a new contact and it didn't crash. Guess I'm really lucky.

BTW, what does SmartDialingNumber do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MisterMark88:
This was exactly the solution to this problem, thanks for all the good work. Take your rest after the hard working you did on iContact. We will see the hotfix by tomorrow.

I have released BE6.3.1, no more crashes!

Download it at the first post of this topic.

A few new features are available:

- Added new skin options: CallHistoryMissed, CallHistoryIncoming, CallHistoryOutgoing - colors of items in All Calls mode of Call History

- A small '...' appears at the top-right corner of the list while iContact is performing any background tasks (picture loading, contact info updating, SIM contacts loading)

- Configurator updated to v1.13:

- Help button is available now for each option (description is taken from comments inside settings.ini)

- 'Numeric value required' error does not pop up now on erasing the value

- Language and Skin selection is set case-insensitive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:

Hi

Very nice program,

Is ity possible to add a button to close/minimize Icontact ? or make bigger the zone to close.

I found it quite tricky closing icontact with fingers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] glaucos:
Hi, godd program, thank for your support! :)

I have a problem with the counter of the missed call: when I set "collapse repeats in history" the number displayed is incorrrect.

If I have 2 call it notify me 1, if I have 3 it notify me 2, and so on

I think it's because tou are using the counter in a "informatic way" (starting from 0)... can you fix it? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
It depends on a point of view: either the total number of calls to/from the number is displayed, or number of repeats for this call :)

I guess I'll update it in the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Just open the .skn file inside the iContact\Themes folder named by your skin (e.g. if you use default skin, file will be default.skn). Then change the MinimizeAreaSize option to a greater value.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] glaucos:
Very good!

I've found another little bug: even if I'm using english or italian (my native language) when in the history detail of a call I press the button to delete it, the popup window shows a confirmation request to delete the CONTACT, instead of delete the CALL. Then, if I press yes it deletes the call, not the contact: fortunately it deletes the right thing, but the confirmation message is wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
That's a bug, thanks for noting, will be fixed in a next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
iContact Configurator v1.14

Quick update to configurator, including help localization. English and Russian translation included.

To localize the help for your language, just add <FieldName>_Help= parameters to your .clng file in accordance with english.clng file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johnny72:
Great job. But I have one question.

Is it possible on the Touchflo TAB "People", when I tap on the soft-key "All people", it will open on default "icontacts" and not ms contacts??

Thank's
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] theduke81:
That is more than great, it is perfect (It was already near LOL)

Thanks a lot

Ciao, Andrea
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MisterMark88:
Just installed the hotfix 6.3.1 and it works now. Thanks for the quick support.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, I know. The hosting is free, thus it is down so frequently... Though owners promise to fix that finally in the nearest time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Thank you truburt... Faster then never before!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The Mike:
Love this new version. I had the basic icontact until now. I'm on a Herald/Wing and I notice that the timestamps on the right side of the callhistory tab are cut a little short when the time is 10:47pm 11:00, 12:00, ect... u get it.. 4 digits...the first 1 is almost cut off. A tiny misallignment I guess you could call it.

Oh, one more thing, since everything scrolls now like iphone.. in every call history list... I no longer have the ability to slide my finger or stylus over a group of calls ... maybe 4, or 20, ect.. u get it... slidiing over a group of calls in a time period and then doing a rightclick/holding down to get the delete menu for just those calls. It's hella painful to delete every call 1 by 1 and really not wanted to delete the entire call history. I'm not sure if iphone changed this or it's another part of my cooked rom that changed this feature.. but if it were possible I'd like it to be a toggle or something so mass selection of clumps of calls could be selected / and or return to iphone sliding mode. just my 2 cents. LIke i said, not even sure if it's the iphone app that changed this since my cooked rom had iphone version 1 already installed before upgrading to this one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
burt...I posted this a few times already. But I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could help please with the little white arrow to the right of the sim card. It is the arrow that shows what number is being used as the favorite, or smart number. Its not showing up in my theme.

I wonder if it could be due to my theme being messed up. In list view, when I am on a number (hover). There is a black box around the phone icons which could be blocking the white arrow.

1.) How to get rid of black box around phone icons in detail view?

2.) How to show white smartphone number in detail view (could be caused from #1)?

Anyone???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Hey Burt,

I've noticed some strange bugs,

when I try to open a contact it opens it but then iContact returns to the screen before. So I have to click on the contact to open it again.

When I open a contact from the list view and click on the back button sometimes/often iContact switches to the favorites tab.

When ReadFromDB ist set to 0, iContact can't find any entries, the list is always empty. When set to 1, it works fine.

Really weird. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] haizhung:
Hi Johnny,

as far as i know you can remap the TouchFlo Tab Actions to different exe files. To do this have a search at the forum for the app called "ssmapa"

It should do this job!

Heaven't tried it yet on my own, but I'll plan to do that too on my Diamond..

Hope this helps,

Haizhung
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, the arrow is behind that black box. Black box is the result of wrong background color for the icon. You should make sure that it is the same color that set in TransparentColor option inside .skn file. Maybe there was a blurring or something that made the background wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, the colors are different, but Missed is a pure red while Incoming/Outgoing are almost white with just a slight touch of yellow and green correspondingly. You can always change these colors in your .skn file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Oh, sorry, that's an old issue and I forget to fix it every time :) Just increase ListSecondaryWidth option in .skn file inside Themes folder. Set it to 45 or 50 pixels. That should fix the issue.

Huh, it is not done yet for iContact, but I guess I should put this request in a TODO list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Really weird, indeed. I can't reproduce it. It seems like the system sends two tapping messages instead of one. Have you tried to reset? Does it happen on previous 6.3 builds?

As for ReadFromDB, it is strange too, and works fine for me. I'll try to reproduce it on emulator to see what can cause it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
Excellent work on the new version as always! I've only found one bug that doesn't seem to be mentioned here.

BUG - when scrolling out of the Details screen back to the Contact List (as always, I'm using Back or Left scroll) it flickers back to the Details screen after the scroll finishes and then it's on the Contact List.

In my png file, the background is black around the icons. It is the same as the defaul skin png file. My transparent color is set to #000000. I really have no clue what is going on.

I have been trying to get on your website to see the example you set up which outlines what all the color names do. Apparently it is down though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, I will fix that, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
The site is down, hope they will fix it soon.

You may send me your .png and .skn file if you like, I'll try to detect the issue. Email is burt3001 AT hotmail.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lsherif:
Thanks Burt,

But could you guide me how this is done as i can`t allocate this color change in the skin file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshuas_79:
ok, now it already works for me. 6.3.1

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The Mike:
"Oh, sorry, that's an old issue and I forget to fix it every time Just increase ListSecondaryWidth option in .skn file inside Themes folder. Set it to 45 or 50 pixels. That should fix the issue"

@Burt

Had no clue how to edit a .skn file but took a guess that just exporting it to the pc and then popping it open with notebook would do the trick, sure enough.. easy as pie. Set it to 47...looks perfect. This iteration of icontacts is great, thanks Burt

Oh, found something new with the search feature of the call history... say i type in a name, "tran" and it does work...filters all calls except that name. Only prob is, the search menu only goes away while the history list is scrolling, if it stops, it blocks the bottom half of the screen again. If U press the left most "escape from menu" key... it does indeed escape from the menu but then you lose your filtered results. May i suggest that it keeps your list filtered until you go back into the menu and delete your search criteria? Or at least until icontacts is closed or minimized then it can reset to default status.

Oh, one last question, what is the proper way to close icontacts? I notice there's no kill button. So i've just been hitting the "ok" key and then kill it from taskmanager if I so choose.

*Update* Oops, I missed that there's an icontact config right on the program screen... got it so i can close the task from inside icontact now. Or just have it close when I press "ok" instead of it minimizing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Thanks burt, I just sent you my .png and .skn files for you to look at. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Johnny72:
Yep... it's gone!!!

If somebody nead:

Launch SSMAPA

In first tab click on INIT

When loaded, click on "Replace POutlook" and go in second TAB (settings)

Flag Path Enabled

New program: put the path of icontact, for me (in italian) is

\memorizzazione interna\programmi\icontact\icontact.exe

Argument: $

Working dir:\memorizzazione interna\programmi\icontact\

SAVE

Go in TAB "deploy" click on "Deploy patch" --> OK ---> Exit

Now when you go in "people" and you click on "all people" you open icontact!!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DTM.inc:
Just wondering,

Is it possible to have contacts split into groups, eg; work, home, etc. and have iContact open up listing these groups, then when you select 'work' it expands to all the people within that group etc?

Regards,

Daniel.

P.S. great program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlk:
If you have your contacts setup with Categories (try Outlook, or POutlook to allocate), you then hit the favourite icon twice and all the categories you have used are displayed, you then select the one of interes et voila, your grouped contacts are there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DTM.inc:
Yup, there it is - Awesome :D

BE6.3.2 beta

BTW, here is a 6.3.2 beta. A few bugs found and fixed:

- Occasional slowdowns on loading/changing contacts, especially when SIM contacts are ON

- Delete Call warning is now shown while deleting a call in history, instead of Delete Contact

- List <-> Details transition fixed (both screens showed Details before)

- Background task indicator (... in the top-right corner) has now a color of a thin scrollbar

- Smart Dialing Number behavior changed, no more background item saving as it lead to performance issues. Now it is done in foreground, so the first load after installation may take a while, but all subsequent loadings are fast as usual.

- Loading indicator added, displayed as a thin horizontal line at the top of the list while loading. Can be useful for the first load after install to be sure that app is not hanging.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:

truburt...i was just wondering if you got my email with my skin files?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, I've got it and have already sent an answer. Maybe it hasn't been delivered yet.

Shortly: background color in your .png is not pure black (#000000), but #0D0E0D instead. It is almost black for our eyes, but quite a different color for the software. So you should refill the background with a pure black.

Feature request

Hi Burt, thanks again for this icontact new version, is it possible to add a font setting, i would like to change the font dimension in contact details, to don't wear glasses to read the number :-)

Ciao, Andrea
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Thanks burt. It hasnt come in yet. But i did change the transparent color to the #0d0e0d and that made the arrow show. I will make the changes to the background to fix the black boxes.

- I just noticed your default skin now has these black boxes too.

- Also, a minor bug i found. In the secondary favorites view (Friends in my case). The top header bar covers the top part of the first contact. I saw this in 6.2, and 6.2.1-2 as well.

Other than that. Good job on 6.3.2 I like how the T9 keyboard can be hidden now after searching.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
You can easily do it. Just edit the .skn file of the skin you use. Look for options with a 'Font' in their name. I hope that my homepage will be restored soon, there you will find a tutorial on skinning. For now, you can take a look at the attached pictures.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:

I completely forgot to mention the main thing about 6.3.2 beta:

- it is able now to minimize search keyboard without loosing the search results with a down arrow button! To restore kbd click search string, to cancel the search either long-press the Backspace key (left arrow), or erase all the symbols.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Nice Update Truburt, dang I did not even notice that, now I am going to use the T9 a bit more often, works well except for exiting in case you want to cancel the search (but I found that going right on the D-Pad does this so it works great.

Hi

Big apologies if these are questions already answered but i could not find the answers

I would like if possible to know 2 things about this great app

1. Is it possible to not have the seperator letters in favorite mode or any mode ?

I just want the contacts listed without the A,B,C etc inbetween them

2. if the above is possible - Is is possible to startup in favorites mode

Thanks All
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Truburt...Thanks for your help with my skin, no more black boxes! Its weird how a few colors off can cause that. I now have it finished. Its not complete as some of the icons don't match the overall theme. This is due to me not being able to find a suitable PointUI icon. In that case, I just left them from what was on the default skin.

Also a few questions...

1.) On the T9 key search, what does "EN/EN" mean? I tap it but nothing happens.

2.) And how do you delete a call from the history screen? I don't see any icon for that?

ps...did you see my minor bug report about the secondary favorite screen? The top header bar covers half of the first contact. In my case, this would be in the "Friends" category.

Thanks again! Just waiting on your website to work again so I can post my skin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iseekas:
Hi Truburt,

I am a great fan on your work.

I have this problem. I can't sync my pda after installing your version 6.3.x. The activesyn give an Error: 86000107

It's funny that the version 6.2.x has no problem.

It seems that version 6.3.x had corrupted something in the contacts. Can you look into this. I really love your work.

Cheers!

I am using Dopod D810, Windows 6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tjex:
Might be a stupid question, but does this work with spb Shell?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] glaucos:
Same problem here!

Initially I did not think was caused by iContact, but since I am not the only having it...

Someone else have that problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iseekas:
I am very sure it is iContact Edition 6.3.x.

If you encounter this problem, you can revert to the old Edition as follows:

a. un-install Edition 6.3.x

b. go to ActiveSync, uncheck Contact and Sync your PDA (this remove the contacts from your PDA).

c. go back to ActiveSync, check the Contact, and Sync you PDA (this will update your PDA Contacts from your Outlook).

d. install Edition 6.2.x

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
I'll check this problem, thanks a lot for the report!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
1. It is a language layout toggle. If you have only english, then it goes EN/EN. I have RU/EN at my side, for example :)

2. ReadHistoryFromDB should be enabled to delete calls from the history. Please check your settings.

3. Yep, that's the way it works now. I'll improve it later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
1. Uncheck "Enable Search in Favorites" checkbox in Configurator (or set EnableFavoritesSearch=0 in settings.ini)

2. Set "Start In" option to Favorites (OpenIn=0 in settings.ini)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The Mike:
iContacts which is activated from the right toggle key on the homescreen obviously is executed by your icontact.exe ... but my question is, which .exe is activated when just the green "send" call is pressed? It has similar functions such as showing call history and contacts also and at first I was confused thinking it might be the same program, just different aspects of it. But now I realize that probably isn't the case. So it's not exactly an icontact question per say, but... if u know what program (.exe) is activated with the send key, i'd appreciate it.

Oh, and totally off topic last question but, if u have programs in the cooked rom, but you've since updated them and installed in the main program memory, is there any way to reclaim that rommed memory back so that app doesn't take double space between the old version and the new version? Or is my understanding of how that works just wrong? Oh well, trying to kill two birds with one stone here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peta§:
