BTW...it works great EXCEPT the picture saved is tiny. How do I configure it to save a 240x320 picture to the Outlook DB?

at the end of contacts list sais v0.7 :)

i there any options to reduce the fonte size in contacts list?

i instaled the v7.0, in a vga pda, and the skin was qvga, the list shows at a small size and i like it, but the menus are reduced too, and tha i dont like.

if you can make an option to select the font size in call list i think it should be perfect.

think about that

keep up the exelent work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] detroitredwings:
truburt

The beta version is just for QVGA screen devices, correct? Or it'll work with VGA skins?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Thanks on this one truburt. Your the best. Will have a look at it. ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HendrikN:
It seems that when i open iContact in landscape mode it works! It just goes nuts when i go to landscape in the app.

Another small thing:

When I'm typing (on the device's keyboard) something in the contactlist, it doesn't get the first letter. Like when typing "Peter", it just catches "eter". Is there a way to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlk:
Beta 7.0

Couple of things:

1. It seems your website is down

2. When I open iContact in say the Favourites section, minimise then change to Landscape, when i reopen/activate iContact the screen is not resized/configured to Landscape, however, when I select another option the resize takes place - same thing happens in the move from Landscape to Portrait - hope this makes sense.

3. The skin doesnt seem to scale to Landscape

4. When you minimise iContact (by clicking in the top right corner) the Large letter is shown just as it minimises (has always happened) now it shows up when you reactivate - not a biggy, just something new in this beta

Hope this helps & btw, fantastic work thus far!

I can't use it too due I need to keep my contacts on the SIM, there is a way, as ask before, to force iContact to read from SIM too like standard contact manager ?

Thanks for the nice tool.

Question

Look man, program is good, but why would we need this app when pocketcm does everything this does and more. The only thing pocketcm is lacking is call history internal handling(it does but it sucks, yours is much better). I know A_C helped on code for the app, but instead of making a new app, why don't you disco this one and help make pocketcm better, we don't need another app that is so similar and doesn't do half the stuff that pocketcm can. This app is getting better, but a few things I see...

time on call log cuts off the first number of the hour

when scrolling it highlights the field for a second before it scrolls

when holding down on the screen and scrolling to the far right on call log screen, just jacks everything up

can't edit a contact within the app (pocketcm can)

perhaps giving the code for you call log/history to add to pocketcm.... that would be awesome... I really like the break down and icons

but just my two cents... maybe someone agrees with me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TacoLoco:
pocketcm doesn't work for ppc so this should answer your question ;) now I will try to register it with a sample certificate..

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Why don't you step to the pocketcm thread and complain to tene so s/he can make pocketcm better? If you can't contribute constructively then don't contribute at all.

Icontact is faster, lighening fast compared to pocketcm which is very important to people who has slow devices (like my tmobile wing). To me, larna, supbro, truburt have tried a great effort to make this an almost perfect program. Of course improvements are always desired but your altitude is no gonna lead this development anywhere.

If you want the function of pocketcm, go with pocketcm. I don't want/care about the threaded sms because it's part of wm 6.1 already, and edit contact in the app is so unnecessary because wm does that job decently.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Have to agree w/wearefree on this one, not a very intelligent way to communicate with the developers and very happy users of this software.

I also was a user of pocketcm and dropped it for iContact because of its speed, size and call history. PocketCM is getting too big and a bit clumsy (hopefully this will change, but their has not been anything new for quite awhile) and in any case it is still an excellent program and I would not trash it the way you just did to this program, have some respect for the hard work the devs have put into a for now free app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
I'm sorry if I sounded too harsh towards pocketcm; I was just trying to defend icontact. Besides speed there is also a very important reason that icontact stands out among others: the ability to auto close after making a phone call/text message. This way it doesn't stay there and suck my precious memory.

When comes to call history, pointui has a very nice way of handling it except it doesn't have detailed call information and icontact is a nice addition to that.

And I really hate when people are pushing icontact to make it another pocketcm. If icontact ever gets all the functions of pocketcm, it'll be inevitably as slow as pocketcm and lose most of its attractiveness. Most of the functions they want already have nice alternatives in their systems: like threaded sms, contact editing interface, even phone pad contact lookup (smart dial).

Right now I don't have any complaints or feature request anymore. However when new versions come out I'll still test and hopefully with new function added in the speed is not sacrificed.

I've been using iContact for some time now and love it. There's only one thing I miss from the default contacts manager: Connect to Corporate Directory. Yea, I use my phone for business too. If I had this feature in iContact I think I'd have the perfect program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcmike_cz:
I luv this version... is more confortable than the others... but :)

I miss few things:

1.) contact photo (I usually use logos of my clients)

2.) contact adress

3.) web site

(excately opened contact could show what shows def contact list)

What do you mean about my idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ruebyi:
Will you make a new Burt Version with icontact 0.74 ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
It will certainly be available in my next edition, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ptfdmedic:
Great version. Thanks for your hard work.

I did want to report that when you tap a contact and view the details page that the word "Company" is partly off the screen. It looks like the "Company" is to far over to the left.

But that's the only thing I have found. Great work..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lsherif:
Hi Truburt,

Just to thank you on this powerful application which is getting better & better with every release.

Looking forward for these new updates which will add a lot to this application.

Any expectations when this will be released ?

You have to rename the settings.ini. There are two at the folder. One for QVGA (default) and one for VGA. Then it works perfekt on VGA :D

7.0.1 beta

iContact BE 7.0.1 beta:

- Fixed window resize on change of orientation

- Fixed bug with scroll letter drawed when iContact has been minimized

- Save Pictures to Outlook can now be set to fullscreen (see Outlook Picture Size option, it can be Thumbnail, Fullscreen, Small or Original now)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Well, I guess, I found a bug. It seems, that the new beta still ignores "TransparentColor". In my theme (DiamondLight), it still shows a black background in detail view, or did you change the skinning system?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spupuz:
can you explain that pls? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Please download 7.0.1 again, I've updated the file. It was a bug with background color in details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
PicSaveLightOutlook setting has been superseded by PicSaveOutlookType. It is called 'Outlook Picture Size' in Configurator.

The following options are available for that field:

- Thumbnail

A thumbnail of the picture will be saved. Picture will be reduced to occupy not more than 32 KB in database, which allows to keep ActiveSync synchronization working. If original picture is less than picture size in Details screen, it will be stretched to that size.

- Fullscreen

A fullscreen copy of the picture will be saved. A picture will be resized proportionally to your device's screen size, e.g. to 240x320 pixels for QVGA devices.

- Small

A small thumbnail of the picture will be saved. Picture will be resized proportionally to be not greater than 64x64 pixels.

- Original

No resizing applied. Picture will keep its original size.

BTW, it is now able to assign a picture by selecting item header and pressing Action button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] detroitredwings:
Thanks. Also, since there are no .cab file for beta version, I've just pasted new .exe, .ini, and .dat files over corresponding files in iContact folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
TB - absolutely fantastic version. Everything seems to be working better than ever on Smartphone and the new features are perfect. You've really done something amazing here.

Two things I still wish for ... the ability to just turn off the top built-in statusbar and NOT have the windows mobile menu bar appear as well. Also, the ability to turn off the bar separating the contacts alphabetically.

It would also be nice if there were some way to speed up the transition to the texting entry ... as it is now it's pretty slow when you elect to send a text until the actually texting screen comes up. Just sayin'.

So if I choose options "original", will that mean that the resized image outlook uses is overwritten with the original file? So that the complete original image is stored in the outlook contact? So S2U2 fullscreen dialer will show the original image in high quality not the small one with bad quality?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Trident:
Do you rename both of the settings.ini files?

I see:

settings.ini

&

settings_vga.ini

Do I delete the first one? Change the name of the first or the second?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Leonick:
ok, i see the feature list but what does this version do that the others dont? currently i use supbros
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] detroitredwings:
If you are not planning to use QVGA device, you can delete settings.ini (or rename it and keep), and rename settings_vga.ini to settings.ini.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yes, it is so. But you'd better choose Fullscreen option instead of Original. Why would you need a picture greater than your screen size? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
You can learn about the differences here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Thanks! :)

I'll try to debug winmobile menu bar issue. It should be something smartphone-specific.

Could you please clarify what you mean about transition to texting entry. Do you mean a quick search with hardware keyboard or what? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
When you select a number and go right (or click the text icon) to text a message to that number. It's rather slow moving over there to the texting app.

Okay, next bug (reproducable for me):

1.Starting in Favs (I guess it doesn't matter).

2.Selecting "Contact List"

3.Open Grid/T9/Scrolling on right side

4.Open Contactdetail

In all these cases the bottom bar doesn't update correctly and looks as the same, if you were in prev view (eg. contacts).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
burt...

Bug report for the new 7.x.x beta versions.

In list view, if you bring up T9 search, search a name, then decide to delete with holding back <- it then goes to top of list at "A" If you dont have T9 search set as default it reverts to regular search. But, when you tap the search, it only brings up the letter "A"

It did not do this in 6.4.x versions

I do like the new picture save and the category transparent in favorites
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kenshino:
Hi burt,

As previously reported, the history page still has its timestamp slightly cut off at the start and at the end.

Switching to the letter search mode from iDialer causes a graphical distortion but its a 1 second distortion and then goes back to normal

That is, what I call awesome! Truburt, thanks a lot for this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gurluver:
hi, i've scan through quiet a few pages but I dont see anything mentioned for WVGA... just wonder if this support it? thanks (im aware it support VGA but on WVGA will it not work at all, will it display with some black part, or will stretch to fit?) Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Q2V:
This is a good contact manager, but i still use a Innesoft Phone because this app can customize a keyboard search feature, for example: press A key can seach also À, Á ,Ả ..., press E will search: Ê, È ...

This is very usefull feature for other langueses like Frech, German, Russian, Vietnamese ...

Hope this will be added on the next iContact version.

"All people" defaulting to old contacts instead of iContacts

Hi,

I seem to be one of the few people who can't seem to launch iContacts as the default app. Whenever I select "All People" from the main People tab or from Start->Contacts, the old WM Contacts app gets launched instead.

I've been digging through the thread and also other forums to see if I've done anything wrong, but I'm now pretty sure I haven't. I've tried the following without any luck:

- install iContact Softkey Mapper

- manually edit the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS, set parameter "1" to ""\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe""

I also came across this thread , in which another HTC Touch Pro owner like me is experiencing exactly the same thing.

Hope this issue will be resolved as I'd really love to be able to fully use this app and this issue is the only thing stopping me from that :)

Thanks for the fantastic app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
You can use T9 search keyboard for that. Open your language file (e.g. Lang\French.lng) with a Notepad on your PC, find the line

searchAlphabet=FR% !?.,^@#$&*()-+_=;':"/\%abc^2%def^3%ghi^4%jkl^5%mno^6%pqrs^7%tuv^8%wxyz^90

and add missing characters between % and ^ for appropriate buttons, like:

Hello!

Thanks for this great application!

Just a feature request:

Is it posiible to enable the "send txt" option for all number types?

As outlook mobile does not support multiple mobile phones, I have had to use some of the other types (car, which is fine and pager which is not :p). I can understand why you wouldn't normally want to text a pager, but...

Hi Truburt,

I think that there is a problem with the link to Beta2. The file that is tries to DL is "icontact7.0.1beta.zip".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
I think.. .there's a problem generating the History on the beta2 version.. it doesn't show... only new calls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Please check what you have in 'Limit History By, days' option in Configurator. Maybe that's the problem since history generation code hasn't been modified.

I have "Save Pictures to Outlook DB" CHECKED. Selected Size is "Fullscreen.

"Save Picture to file " is UNCHECKED. "Target Folder" box is Blank.

"Enable Picture Saving" is UNCHECKED. .....Thanks a lot.

SOLVED! I have check-marked all boxes and created a folder to save photos in and it's WORKING!

I have selected FULLSCREEN and then ORIGINAL option... and in both cases the saved file was only 8K (pretty low quality in full screen mode) but the original file size was over 250K.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
"Enable Picture Saving" should be CHECKED for picture saving.

File is always written as a full-screen (e.g. 240x320 pixels for QVGA or 480x640 for VGA devices).

Fullscreen/Original option is only applicable to pictures stored in Outlook Contacts database. You could check if picture is saved big there from any full-screen CallerID program.

Problem with my CDMA device, HTC Touch Diamond WM 6.1

2 things:

What do you think of a fix scroll line in the details view. The header is with its picture and name is always shown, the numbers scroll behind it.

Somehow your picture saving isn't working completely! I can choose a file in example original! S2U2 shows the big file with the caller id, but when synchronising with outlook somehow the contact pic is not shown, in some contacts remains the old pic in its thumbnail size. Can this be fixed?
