Yup, I doubt there's any way around this. Maybe you can edit your "old" one and let people know to download the new one instead? Meridian did that.

Beta 1.1 live

Hi All

The wait is finally over. Beta 1.1 for Easy Dial is live in android market.

Sorry but due to some silly mistakes, as mentioned in my previous message, we couldn’t offer an upgrade and had to publish it as a new application. Please search for EasyDial Pro in market (its under tool section)

Sorry for the inconvenience as the upgrade won’t be possible and you will have to remove the current one and install fresh.

Change Log –

1)	Partial implementation of HTC Smart Dialer – From the dialer, user can search for unknown numbers in call log (which are not in contacts)

2)	Separate icon for call log and dialer – User can directly open the call log from the dedicated icon

3)	Minimize the keypad to see full screen list view

4)	Auto Minimize keypad (user defined setting in preferences)

5)	Scroll Tab in the lists to scroll quickly

6)	Most frequent callers list – auto generated list for most frequent callers (User can choose the period and number of results)

7)	Updated Theme – Thanks to MOONSSPOON

8)	See last call info. in dialer screen

9)	Enhanced preferences – Choose order of dialer screen list – contacts first/unknown numbers first, include call log numbers or not.

10)	Some bug fixes and other fine tuning.

Waiting for the feedback from experts and android enthusiasts here 
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Thanks for the update! It's looking very awesome and I love the new icon! Just tested it, and the bug I posted at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4625548&postcount=30 is still around.

Large font no longer crashes though. Fix the bug, add in the ability to search by numbers (the current ability to search for unknown numbers is awesome, just need to have one to search for know ones :P), and speed it up, and this is near perfect!

I suggest that you post beta versions on the forum itself for us to test :P. I'm sure a lot of us are willing to!

Lastly, if you intend to keep this app free, may I suggest you put a Donate link in your signature?

Thank you for an awesome update :)!

It looks awesome and all, but I dislike that you cannot select a person with your finger and then choose whether you want to call, sms or mail. Otherwise pretty cool
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Cheesebaron: I concur.

Perhaps maheepgupta or moonspoon can look at adding those options into the context menu (long-press)? Currently we can do that using the trackball though. Just scroll to the person you one and tap SMS! :D

Easy Dialer Pro Beta

So far so good! Works smoothly with cm4.1.999 only had 1 fc problem when I hit the dial button with no number entered in. A nice feature we be to view your contact list and tap to place a call from that section ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] kwkw480:
dialer pro beta

Viberate on key press (while dailing a number) would be another nice feature ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] nephron:
i cant find it on the market :( did you take it down??
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
I found a bug. When long-pressing on a contact with a zero (what's that anyway?), it looks like this:

I'll get a force-close. Here's the logcat:

Hope it helps :D.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
Another bug. When I get a missed call notification, clicking on it the first time after I install "Easy Dial Pro" prompts me to select a default program. I've selected "Easy Dial Pro", and it now shows up when i tap on my missed call notification. Problem is, the notification remains there unless I clear it myself. It should clear itself when I tap on it to go to Easy Dial Pro, right? :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Thanks.. Sorry but I couldn't replicate the swipe problem. I think there is a confusion. Why do you need to long press before swipe? You can swipe directly or use track ball for this. No?

Though there seems another problem when changing the preferences for "search all" or "search with number only" and we are testing it.

For the other points, you have mentioned, speed is the biggest target at this moment and trying to expedite the process. In case we introduce the ability to search in contacts number as well, it will make the app all the more slow, which is not a nice idea, thus speeding it up is top priority.

Thanks for your constant support :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Feedback taken sir and it will be there in the next release. Long press on a contact name and currently where you see a context menu for view contact card and view history, you will see the additional options as well.

Needless to say, configurable with the preferences.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
MOONSSPOON - This one is for you :D
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Okay, I will check this FC problem. For the other point, you can long press on a record and open contact card to dial any number you want.. correct me if I misinterpreted you!

Yes, I agree, its in my personal wishlist.. Haptic feedback :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Nah.. its still there... please search for easy dial pro in market.. or may be isol

its under tools section.

Hope this helps
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
1) Will check this Force Close Problem

2) The missed call notification - yes, its in knowledge and we are working on it.. so you will have for next update. Till then, bear with us :rolleyes:
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
maheepgupta: I don't have to long-press, just swiping it or using the trackball results in the same problem. I just did created a new contacted called "Easy Dial" with mobile numbers "91234567" and "98765432". Using Easy Dial Pro, upon selecting the contact "Easy Dial", I use the trackball to "swipe" left or right so I can see the different mobile numbers. However, since both are of type "mobile", I end up being stuck on one of the numbers, no matter how I swipe left or right. Swipe or use the trackball a few times, you'll see what I mean.

Thanks once again!
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Ah, I see what you mean.. both of the numbers are in the same category here, that is mobile. What I tested it was home and mobile so it worked.

thanks! Will see to it.

On the other note, I am still not sure, it will stay free or end up in paid app if we reach a couple of thousand downloads.. so no donate icon for now

Another reason is, Google so far does not allow paid apps from India so we are stuck anyways :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
maheepgupta: :D If it does become paid and it's reasonably priced I'm sure a lot of us will buy it ;). Hope to see the bugs fixed soon :P! Thanks for the hard work!
[G1 Apps and Games] MOONSSPOON:
Workin on it. =)
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
maheepgupta: Just one suggestion, not sure if it's on purpose. I know you make a separate call log and all, and it's really amazing :D. However, if I were to clear the call log in Easy Dial, the one that comes with Android by defaults remains uncleared. Similarly, if I were to clear the default one, the one in Easy Dial remains... Is it possible to link them together somehow? Thank you.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Hmm. This one is in my knowledge and we had some discussions before implementing it. I was just not sure that if it would be good to delete the log entries from default call log and we ended up in keeping it separate. May be other users can suggest on the best approach :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
This one is fixed so next update should resolve the issue :)

Thanks for showing the confidence in us.. Though I must say, its a long way before we make it paid app. I am sure users deserve a better speed before we start charging them. They won't like the performance lags for sure :D
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
maheepgupta: Good to hear that bugs are being fixed! Anyway, I'd suggest you have an option in Easy Dial to enable the linking (if possible)? Personally since I'm using Easy Dial Pro as my primary dialer/call log I'd willingly let it clear my default call log :). It makes more sense anyway (at least to me). A user might clear Easy Dial's call log thinking it's cleared, only to let another person check the default call logs and find out what he's been up to :P.
[G1 Apps and Games] Zoide_:
Add voice dialing with voice confirmation (no need to tap on screen to confirm your choice) and you can have all my money ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
My problem with the app - and, maybe, it is just because I don't understand the principle behind the GUI - is that I never know what number I will call/text/mail if I hit one of those buttons. It looks like it dials whatever is at the top of the (visible) list? That is NOT good as it will call whatever contact is at the top - even if the name is not visible, but one line of pixels from the unseen top contact is visible....

Edit: Regarding the above - I normally use my finger to flick through the contacts - not the track ball. So, after flicking through the contacts with my finger there won't be a contact selected. I could see two options.

1) Keep the top most contact highlighted (to indicate the contact is selected) and that would be the contact the dial/sms/mail button would use (allow the trackball or a tap to override). When scrolling the contact list could slow down slightly at the end of the motion and "click" into place with the top contact (selected) completely visible.

2) Or, display the selected contact in the window where the "last call" is currently displayed. If one wants to find out the last call the user can always go to the call log. I like the first option better.

-----

I hate that you have little arrows next to the "M" (or whatever type of number is there for that contact) when there is no other number for that contact. Please make it so that the arrows only show if there is another number entered for the contact.

After a call is ended - I want to go back to the last screen I was in - not the call log. The way it is set up now every time I hang up - I have to hit the back button. Maybe - you could make this a setting in the preferences - After call return to Contacts or go to Call Log? Currently, I keep dialing the wrong number, hit end, and have to press back to get to the contacts list again. Personally, if I want to go to the log then I'll press the call log button.

Last suggestion is for when you get the current bugs out. Check out ChompSMS's customization abilities for the colors. I would definitely use your app if I could change the colors of the text, background, the blue color around the buttons, etc. Then I could make the colors displayed in Easydial match my theme.

Not bad so far - but, unless you make that top change - I'll stick with what I'm using now. It is just not intuitive for me. Looks great though!

Edit: I second Wysie's post - please allow an option in the preferences for EasyDial to modify the default call log when EasyDial's call log is modified. I just deleted a bunch of calls in EasyDial thinking it was also cleaning up my default call log - only to find that the default call log had NOT been cleaned up. That is also confusing.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Okay, let me see what we can do on it.
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Hahahah.. are you sure my friend :)
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
@Shaneaus - Thanks for the feedbac,

Okay, I agree on this one. Right now it dials the number which was selected by default. Like the first record or may be the one which you selected with the track ball. For now, if you scroll with finger and then move the track ball, it will select the first record in visible list and then you can use the action buttons but if we can have the top record auto selected, that will be a better option for sure. Let me see what we can do on this part.

We did plan for this but figured out, it was making the app all the more slow for the obvious reasons. The more processing we will do when filtering the list, more time consuming it will be. For now, its not on the top priority but in future, I promise to take care of this.

Yes, this one is in plan and you can expect this one in upcoming build

Well the colors are not in plan for near future but themes are. Probably two - three predefined themes which you can choose from preferences.

If I may ask, which dialer are you using currently. Just curious, how it is better than ours and needless to say, make those changes in our dialer as well :)

For the call log delete, yes, will work on it in coming releases. Again, a user defined setting in preferences.
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
Thanks for the quick reply. I currently use StarContact. The main thing I DON'T like about StarContact: I have to select "Phone" to get to the dialer and favorites. The main reason I use it is because of the t9 contact search functionality. Also, it has a black background like almost all my other apps and my theme is normally dark and with blue or green colors.

Generally, I like your app better... But, I can't live with my first issue noted above. It just screws with my head that I don't have a visual on the selected contact. I'm glad you like the selection idea. I really think that if you could have your app keep the top item highlighted/selected as the user scrolled it would address that issue. It would be nice if the highlight went away and faded in as the scrolling stopped and then it could click into place with the topmost contact in full view. You have some nice effects in the app already.

Sounds like your set on the theme idea. However, I would highly suggest that you at least review the color change options in ChompSMS and consider allowing users to change the colors themselves. Just providing preset themes is very unsatisfying (IMHO) as a user would have to wait for someone to make a theme that fits whatever I have - hopefully, exactly (unless they are a dev). Allowing them to alter the colors themselves allows them to make their own theme very easily in ANY color combination. This would be very easy - especially with your program - as you would only need about six colors to be "adjustable" and only one sample screen to display results (as the call log & contacts screens could use the same colors): The light blue background around the buttons, the buttons, the background of the call log/contact list, the contact name text, phone number text(together with call info in the call log), and the phone number type/arrows text. The ChompSMS interface is awesome for this and I can only assume it wouldn't be too difficult to make something similar.

I like themes for the ROMs... But, I am hating themes more and more for different apps. That is just more crap I have to download and install and I rarely find one that fits whatever theme I am using exactly. With ChompSMS my SMS app ALWAYS fits my theme perfectly as I can alter it exactly to match.
[G1 Apps and Games] Wysie:
shaneaus: I think apps like StarContacts and aContacts are a little on the heavy side, they seem to be more for contact management than dialing purposes :P.

maheepgupta: With regards to the SMS/Email issue, how about you remove the icons from the dialer, and instead place it together with the name (if possible)? That way, we don't have to worry about who's currently selected, and instead just tap the respective email/sms icon?

From moonsspoon's twitter, this seems to be the latest design: http://twitpic.com/lj0k7

I'm not a graphics kind of guy, but I've attached a mock-up of what I was trying to describe.

MOONSPOON: Sorry I butchered your work of art.
[G1 Apps and Games] Zoide_:
Well, OK, not *all* my money! But some of it ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] shaneaus:
Most likely so... But, I really don't ever get past the first screen where one uses the T-9 to search for contacts.

I really like this app much better - If only it had a better way of showing the selected contact. I don't like having to swipe then move the ball to figure out who I selected. Sounds like they might go with my suggestion. If they do then this will be a keeper for me and with the call log management I would def pay for it.

I like the new look that Moonspoon posted!
[G1 Apps and Games] beejizzle:
This application is a real slow starter for me and Im missing alot of basic stuff like vibrate on keypress. Also i really dont like the phonenumber placed to the left on a italic style, looks very ugly..

lokking forward for a new version
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
Hi All

Sorry for long absence but was busy with stuff which actually pays the bill :)

Okay, we are almost done with the next version of Easy Dial. Among the major changes..

1) Improved speed - We tested it on HTC Hero and the application speed was far better than on G1 but guess much of the credit goes to additional RAM. However, we wanted to have an almost similar experience on low end devices so reworked the whole logic for search (that explains the delay to some extent) and now I think I am quite satisfied with it. Final verdict can of course be told by you guys but I am hopeful you will like it.

2) Clear Missed call notification - earlier it didnt use to clear missed call alert from the status bar, if user had easydial pro calllog as default but now it works.

3) Reworked the logic to add numbers in call log - some of the users complained that entries are being missed in call log. We have improved the logic and so far it seems to be working fine. Again, final testing has to be done by guys here.

4) Some bug fixes - Few of the bugs as reported in XDA forum and emails have been fixed.

Stay tuned.. I hope to make it live in next 2-3 days

Cheers!

Droid Issue

Hi Guys

I think, there is a problem with easy dial when using with Droid. One of the users has reported

//On my Motorola Droid. I noticed the middle row of numbers is missing. that is with numbers 2,5,8,0.

The dialpad shows the first row, then the third row shows up on top of it a little. There's no way to get the middle row to show up//

if any other guys with Droid or other 2.0 devices (if any) can check and post the feedback.

Best,

M

Any chance of adding voice dialing with hands-free confirmation?

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] snesreviews:
Hi There,

I use and love your application, but unfortunately when I click on the Missed Calls notification, doing so doesn't reset the list of missed calls, so it keeps coming up all the time.

I see you have noted that this has been fixed in 1.2 but even though I downloaded what looked like 1.2 from the market (I even uninstalled and reinstalled to make sure), it still displays this behaviour and the application thinks it's 1.1. Is this to be expected or am I running an old version without this fix?
[G1 Apps and Games] maheepgupta:
This problem has been resolved though in somehow inadequate way. The notifications should be cleared by the application version currently live in market and if this is not the case, it has to be an older version or may be some thing with the custom ROM, if you are using any.

As I said, there are still some problems coz as per the current flow of application whenever a call is disconnected, it opens up the call log and same thing happens with the Missed calls as well and thus now the problem is that as soon as you get a missed call, it will open the call log and thus automatically clear the missed call alert and user does not get to see an alert at all. We are working on a fix for this issue but in any case it should be cleared by the application and if this is not happening in your case, its probably an old version.

Best,

M

Try Office One Note

One Note Mobile will hot sync with One Note Desktop software. So you can quickly capture thoughts on the go.

The desktop software is very good for organizing and searching your notes.

The mobile version is free on your phone. Microsoft has great deals for Student Editions, you may be able to get the desktop software for next to nothing.

Highly recommend it. I use it every day.
