I wholeheartedly agree that this would be the BEST next thing to do :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Actually, you need three clicks now to get to the full list of functions:

1. Click a contact in the list

2. Click 'View Contact' menu button (second one, with a person picture)

3. Click Menu in an Outlook View Contact dialog - here is the list.

Implementing just the same inside iContact will be a duplication.

iContact BE 6.3 beta

I've put iContact BE 6.3 beta in my Downloads.

Get it here

Changes include:

- Scroll speed improved

- Added scrolling in Details screen, just like in the list

- Long Tap can now be aligned either at the right side or at the left side of the screen

Right align: LongTapAtRight=1, left align: LongTapAtLeft=0 in .skn file

- ListSecondaryText2 color now available in the skin, used to set the color of repeats in Call History list ([1] stuff under call time)

- List scroll indicator (white letter at the top) now hides when scroll speed becomes slow

I would like to ask you to check scrolling speed and Details screen scrolling. Your help is highly appreciated! Please report any bugs and comments.

Green Dial Button Doesn't Work

Couldn't get the Dial button to work with v6.2 If you press it whilst over a contact, or in their details, it just takes you to the dialler but doesn't do anything.

Shame, as this is the one feature that I really wanted!

Using Vodafone v1615 (Kaiser)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
how do i check what version i am running of this application?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Either tell date and size of your iContact.exe file, or scroll at the bottom of the list, and drag the list up, then version info should be displayed at the bottom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
That's odd. It works fine for me.

Anyone else having same problems?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NisseDILLIGAF:
same here... If I press Call button it just goes to the dialler, and shows last called names.

And another thing, on my diamond non of the hardware buttons closes iContact :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
i scrolled to the bottom and dragged the list up ... nothing shows after z inputs... no version number

the icontacts.exe is 151k in size
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
new version seems REALLY laggy on my device.. not quite sure why..

it has a real bad memory lag.. meaning u can scroll up then down then up or whatever and it basically replays your motions in slow motion after a delay and at about 1/4 the speed.

no one else has noticed this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
No bugs, so far so good. The only thing I don't like (which was actually a new feature) is now the number of repeated calls in call history overlap with the call type, which is in all the new versions (6.2~6.3).

Another thing, is it possible to use short indicators for the day of the week, say using Fri for Friday and Wed for Wednesday? Now due to the work being so big the list indicator was forced to use a smaller fonts. Are those available in the language file?

EDIT: realized that editing language file do take care of that, sweet!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
6.3 works great on my device

Green and Red phone keys not functioning as should (i.e. start call, end program)

Update: exit on minimize is set and works if I use the topbar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dfine1966:
I keep going back between 7.6 and Burts Edition. I am having a problem with the new 6.2 version. I am using a Sprint Touch with the newest factory 6.1 ROM. When I hit the icon button for favorites in burts edition, it stays there when I try to hit the keyboard area where all the letters are. You know the icon you press all the way on the right. Also that Icon seems to dissappear when I have All Contacts showing. 6.1 seemed a little more stable. I am using 7.6 for now but I liked some of the feature that burt edition had. Burt's edition seemed a little sluggish for some reason in this newer version. I wonder if I am the only one having these problems. Just thought you might want to know of some of the problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Do you select a contact before pressing Call button? I mean go to a contact with a D-Pad or joystick?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
And what is the date of the file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
1. What is your device?

2. What is the version you use? 6.2 or 6.3?

3. If 6.2, then does the problem appear in 6.3?

Please also take into account that if you have EnableScrollAcceleration set to 1, then scrolling will accelerate/decelerate by repeated finger gesture. It means that if you scroll up while list goes down, then its movement decelerates proportional to the gesture speed. So it may continue going down with a lower speed if gesture was slow and short.

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
I thought new repeats location is better, because it doesn't overlap with name/picture for long names, and is clearer to notice. But I'm using default skin for myself, maybe that's the reason why I like it :)

Could you please try to play with ListItemSecondaryText2 option in .skn file? It is the color of repeats number text. If changing the color will not improve the situation, I think I should introduce new option to switch between old repeats location and new one. Just tell me if it is needed in your opinion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Same question for Green button: do you select a contact before pressing green button, either with a D-Pad or joystick?

For Red one, what is your WM version: 5, 6 or 6.1? It may allow me to detect the root cause.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Could you please check if favorites/keyboard button highlight bug is present in 6.3?

Keyboard button should disappear in Call History tab (2nd button), and is always visible in Favorites and Contacts tab (1st and 3rd buttons). Keyboard jumping works both in Favorites and Contacts, instead of leading to Contacts tab first in supbro's 0.76. That is also the reason why I hide it for Call History, which should make the behavior obvious.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
It's simply not doing anything for me at all. This and the searching of the contact list by entering letters (M, MI, MIK, etc) are my two biggest desires. The third would be for the back key to work in details to go back to the contact list!

FWIW - is there some app we could all try to report what value our keys are when we press them? Mebbe the keymapping isn't the same across phones?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zenoran:
problem seems to have come up in 6.2... There were so many versions released there all at once I don't know which one specifically... I did have a version with the new contact pictures which was working but just upgraded again to fix the history and that's when I started to notice the problem... it appears to be there in 6.3 as well...

I disabled the scrollacceleration and the lag went away but now it's obviously slower to get through the list.. prefer the acceleration it's just too slow and laggy now...

using xv6800 with dcd's 3.2.5 ROM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, I know, they should fix these constant kick-offs at August, 14th. Sorry for that. I will upload beta here as soon as I get it myself :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Well, it seems that these keys work only on my Touch :)

I'll try to handle it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
As others have noted, I too am having the sluggish scroll speed that seems to have been introduced in 6.2 I can scroll, but it lags about 1/4 second behind and is very slow. If you have stopped scrolling, it is still moving. And if you reverse it takes a while for it to catch up.

Also, a feature request...Please, please make the long tap visual indicator move horizontal all the way across the bar instead of from bottom to top. With your finger there, it is blocking this indication that way. I have set the width of the indication to 320 so it shows all the way across. But horizontal from left to right. Check Ender's version for this. Or at least make it an option to scroll vertical or horizontal. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NisseDILLIGAF:
Yes I select a contact so I just see that contact on the screen ... now, if I press the contact number it calls, but if I press the call button I just go to the dial pad...

Thanx for a great 'Burt Edition' of IContact! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] humble:
Lov it

Great app. I just stared following it from the previous release one word EXCELLENT. and when you go to the config and hit Fast Graphics it makes the scroll smooth. one thing thoe could you add delete contact

THANKS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tekknogenius:
It's already there. When you view a contact, click the triangle to the right of the contact name and four option buttons show

[View] - shows the contact in the MS Contact app

[Edit] - edits the contact in the MS Contact app

[Delete] - deletes the contact

[Favorite] - adds contact to the favorite list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] humble:
Thanks

i didn't see it there sorry about the confusion:(. now one word Perfect:D

Anyone know why when I open iContacts I get an error:

We're sorry...

A problem has occurred with icontact.exe and gives the option to send or not

I dont send and iContact is running fine.

This happens everytime the program is closed and re-opened.

I have racked my brains and can't figure this out.

-bridic-

edit: I have uninstalled and re-installed but same issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
That's weird :) What is your PDA?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
The A-Z icon only shows if you are viewing your full contact list (not favorites of call history). Don't think this is a bug.

As for the call types....just keep clicking on that icon...it goes "All calls, missed calls, incoming calls, and outgoing calls) and it shows the type next to the date. Some skins change the icon for call history as well...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bridic:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Starfury:
Hi, I have found the different call types now, thank you. However every time I press that icon it takes 5+ seconds before it updates, any ideas?

A question, is it possible to put an option in the config that allows you to reverse the scroll direction? So if you drag your finger down it scrolls down...

I flashed the ROM to the new WM6.1 and had the issue happened once then has stopped.

Anyway, great program.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Since header has been updated to iContact Burt Edition 5, I post old Burt Edition 4.1 here for those who might need it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
I can try change the color, but wouldn't it be better if the number of repeats just move about 30 pixels to the right? This way it won't over lap with the call type and still clearly visible.

Frankly my favorite call history is still what's implemented in pointui, which is:

xxxx

[100 calls]

yyyy

[25 calls]

zzzz

[45 calls]

etc.

This list is always updated as the last caller is on the very top, followed by the time order of the next caller. Say xxxx called me 10 mins ago, but even the call previously from xxxx maybe from 2 days ago while there were calls from yyyy and zzzz, xxxx's call from 10 min ago still bumps him/her to the top of the call history list.

Then if I'm interested in xxxx, I click on that tab, I'll see:

xxxx

1-###-###-#### SMS

Incoming ##:## am ##:## (duration)

Outgoing ##:## am ##:## (duration)

missed ##:## pm ##:## (duration)

Incoming ##:## pm ##:## (duration)

etc.

In pointui it's not exactly like this, but I think this is better. This incoming outgoing missed text can be replaced by icons/graphics. Tap on the number will call xxxx back directly. Tap SMS will send message to xxxx, and then auto close icontact if that option is enabled.

Do you think this kind of call history is possible? Does it make sense? My call history is composed of mostly less than 10 people but if someone outside of this 10 calls me then it's generally impossible to find that number with the normal even icontact call history. But with pointui call history each number has its own entry (rather than each call) it's easy to find out that outsider and call him/her back. Of course I can go through the contact list to do that if this is too much trouble to implement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] appan:
best icontact ever, i am using t-mobile wing, i dont know if its a bug or not, in call history "AM" PM letters cant be seen, its way too inside.

plus it would be nice, if the call times shows on the side of the picture insted of top of it.

thanks again:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] earthdan:
Hi sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way to set icontact so it completely shuts off when I close it? For some reason, when I open icontacts and then try to close (by pressing the top left corner of screen) it just gets minimized. Is there a way to close it?

cheers

yea in config exit on minimize

Very nice Version of Icontact, perfect for our Diamond :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dfine1966:
Truburt,

I tried 6.3 and same problem. I hit favorites tab, then try to hit keyboard tab and nothing happens. The keyboard tab does nothing. The favorites tab is still highlighted though. As soon as I hit the other tabs the keyboard tab works fine.

Again, I am using a Sprint Touch USA version with the official updated 6.1 ROM if that will help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
While I just realize I had a bug ever since the original icontact 0.7 from supbro is released: when I dial the number from icontact, sometimes it'll show the call status screen for a moment and jump right back to the keypad. Since I'm using the iphone dialer the keypad also had an end button so it doesn't bother me that much, it's just I can't see the progress of the call, like minutes and etc. However I just wonder if anyone else had the same problem and maybe this is just associated with my phone?

EDIT: Just did a little more checking, and I found out: 1) if I start icontact from programs folder, then after initiating the call the normal call status show up; 2) if I start icontact from the call status screen, then the normal call status show up too; 3) if I start icontact from the dialpad screen, then the normal call status screen show up and quickly switch back to dialpad. This seems intentional, and now I know when it goes where I can actually think this as a feature rather than a bug. Cool!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Horizontal bar will also be hidden beyond the finger. I'm introducing another solution in 6.3: LongTap Bar displayed vertically at the left side of the contact. Just set LongTapAtRight=0 in .skn file in BE6.3. Is it ok?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
BE6.3 beta

See it in my next post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Problems, which some of you have with Green/Red hardware keys, are because of iContact uses privileged API functions to catch these keys (i.e. SetWindowsHookEx). Most of touch-screen PDAs have low security restrictions, these API functions are available to unsigned applications. Still, smartphone devices have stronger security restrictions, not allowing unsigned apps to access privileged API, so Green/Red keys will not work for smartphone users.

Real signing is expensive, and I'm unable to sign iContact BE with a real certificate.

Still, you can try to use Unlock tools, like the one described here: http://www.mvdirona.com/jrh/SmartPhone/AppAndSimUnulock.htm

Meanwhile, second beta of BE6.3: smartphone keypad search support (by first letter only, though), hardware Back key now exits to list from details, scroll acceleration behavior slightly changed - now if you scroll in opposite direction, list stops instead of slowing down. Some other minor changes.

Use iContact as default contact-manager in TouchFlo3D

Hi

I can't find out how to map the "All People" button on the People-tab in TouchFlo3D to open iContact.

I have checked that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS is mapped to \Program Files\iContact\iConctact.exe.

I have tried to Soft-Reset the phone.

I use iContact Burt Edidtion v.6.3 beta

Other then Call hardware button don't work ( but u explained why earlier )

I think I remember seeing a post a couple of days ago that if you install from cab it does not install the iContact config. Try DLing the zip file.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] endermalkoc:
Hi Burt, I think picture loading and PIM loading threads are slowing down the scroll. Depending on the number of pictures and PIM contacts you may not be able to see/reproduce this. Maybe you can try pausing these threads when there is a transition or scroll in progress. That sort of worked for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Actually, this may only make any impact when iContact is loading. After the pictures are loaded, threads go to sleep state. The simplest way to check it is to wait until all the pictures are loaded.

Moreover, EnableScrollAcceleration=0 helped to solve this, so maybe solution is near the acc scroll.
