Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

That is the only log file that mycontacts use and any calls you have received should be there. I just searched on mine and found a "coming call" for each call.

ill call my phone with a private number and attach the file here tomorrow

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

what are you using to search inside the txt file? leafpad?

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I tried with "vi" and the notes editor (to open the file on notes I used the filebox application so I could browse hidden folders). You probably will want to shutdown mycontacts and start it again so the log file gets reset and you don't have to worry about a very long file.

2 spaces after : in coming call

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Simple (and obvious) enough. I will see if I can get something ready for the next release.

Thanks.

i've tried to create contacts with "" numbers (no number) but it auto deletes the field if empty. where are the contacts located? do you have an idea. maybe there is a way to force an empty phone field on a new made contact?

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Sorry, I don't.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I'd love to be able to reject 'unknown number'

I checked the log on my phone, and it shows just like Weedalot's post.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Tested new version of MyContacts. I personally liked the feel - scrolling is smooth, keyboard is nice as well. Rotation was not correct first few attempts, but after that worked OK.
I normally use only the widget - which is AWESOME! So for me improvements there will be more useful. My main problem with the widget is that it doesn't load correctly number's type(e.g. mobile, home, work etc.) every time it reloads(after reboot or app update). So by double clicking on the contact icon in widget I end up calling not the mobile(default) number of the given contact, but some other number. So I have to remember to check all contacts after reboot and correct their numbers' type manually. I noticed one and same contacts get their numbers wrong, so it became an easier task, but none the less it is a nuisance.

Problem - Loosing the call register

Hi Felipe,
I noticed that my phone is loosing the call log data recently. What happens is: When I have a missed call, the call register does not register any calls afterwards, whether out or in. Unistalled MyContacts and problem disappear. Any idea why and how?
To make things more clear for you, I use stock kernel, and other programs that might be effecting call register are: extended call log, call notify, catblock.. My intention was try to uninstall-install all of them in turn to find out which one causes this, started with MyContacts and it happened to be the one.
If you want me to do some more testing I am willing to do.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

zlatko:
There is one known issue with the "standard contacts app". When you you create a contact "by default" the address book will show phones as "cell" but when saving it will not save the "phone" as a "cell". Later, it shows on the "standard contacts" as cell but it won't be recognized by any other application using qt mobility (like mycontacts) as cell.

To fix the issue you just need to edit the contact on the "standard contacts application", change the phone type to "something else" and then back to "cell". You will only need to do that once per contact - restarting the phone should not affect this at all.

EDIT: this is the link to the bug

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Yes, that is how I am solving the problem - by edit/save in built-in Contacts app. But every next time MyContacts is starting anew same phone numbers are not listed as "cell" in it and I have go through editing them.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I don't see how mycontacts could affect logging calls by itself. Even with other applications monitoring calls if they behave as expected there shouldn't be a problem.

MyContacts ONLY listen to the DBus signals and when needed will change a symbolic link to the ring tone file in order to have the phone play a different ring tone.

If you are willing to look for the reason behind this I would suggest a couple tests:
1. A very simple test is to reinstall mycontacts and disable the "call monitoring" service on the settings window. After restarting MyContacts it will not try to do anything with incoming calls. If for any reason your calls still don't get logged, it is either not an issue with mycontacts or it must be an issue with some other qt application - I can't even imagine how this could happen but... :)
2. Remove all these applications that you mentioned before that deal with phone calls/log and install mycontacts. I have to assume you won't have any problems with the call log. Install/remove one by one of the removed applications and test - the goal is to find which one is "interacting" with mycontacts.

Let me know how it goes.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I have to assume that you only have to fix each contact/phone number once, right?

What I mean is that once you fix the contact once you won't have an issue with the same contact again, even after rebooting. (Assuming that you don't use any other application to synchronize your contacts - this could cause the changes to be reverted back)

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

@fcrochik
No, I meant exactly the opposite - I have to fix this issue EVERY time I get my phone rebooted. And it is the same contacts that are loaded with wrong numbers' types.
What can be that other application synchronizing the contacts? Can you give me an idea so I can see what can be causing the problem?

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Let's try something:

1. reboot your phone
2. find one contact that does not work on mycontacts (that the phone is not recognized as cell when it should)
3. go to the "standard contacts" application, select the contact, select "send contact card" from the menu.
4. send the contact card to your email address.
5. on your email application save the attached vcf file somewhere and open it with a text editor
6. edit the contact, change the phone type to "something else" and then back to "cell"
7. send the contact card to your email
8. compare the two files
9. reboot the phone
10. send the same contact to your email
11. compare the 3 files.

Feel free to send me the 3 files for me to check.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

@fcrochik
You want me to compare the contact's card after reboot, after edit/save and reboot again? Below is the result(chronologically):
As you can see there ARE some differences in the order of the elements of the v-card, but the phone numbers are always listed with the same(correct) type.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Hey guys,

I just installed MyContacts... seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, but it segfaults on load:

I straced it, and it seems to crash while mmap'ing something to do with gtalk; I do have two gtalk accounts registered, which may be somewhat out of the ordinary.

Anything else I can do to help debug?

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I remember someone saying that there was an issue with Qt Mobility and more than one account of the same type... I think was a Qt Mobility issue and not constrained to mycontacts.

You can try disabling one of the accounts to see if this is indeed the issue. I would also try another application like Horizontal call or fastsms with the two accounts enabled in order to figure out if it is an issue with mycontacts or with applications that use Qt Mobility.

Please let me know of the outcome.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

zlatko: after your message I played a bit with creating contacts, changing phone types and exporting vcards. I am inclined to think that there is an issue with Qt Mobility on the n900 when handling a phone number with more than a context (CELL+PREF) or (VOICE+CELL). This contact that you are having an issue with must have been imported, right? I don't think you have how to set the context for a phone as PREF by using the standard contacts application on the n900.

If I am right your only way out is to edit the contact add a new phone, making sure to manually select the type to be cell, copy the phone number from the existing one and then delete the old one. If you export again you will see that the only context for the phone will be "CELL".

It seems crazy but the order of the fields may be another factor. You can see that on the second one (the one that works) the first context is CELL on the others the first context is PREF. Why it changes after rebooting is another mystery.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Disabling the 2nd account did the trick; mycontacts came up perfectly after that.

And, looks like you're right; I installed FastSMS and it crashed in the same way. Is Qt Mobility maintained by Nokia?

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Yes. Nokia/Qt.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I guess we're hosed then. :(

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

In this particular case it is not bad. We have already newer versions of qt mobility for the n900 being tested and the code is open and available.

I have never tried to debug this problem but can't imagine that is very hard to find/fix.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Well, I hope someone manages to fix it because your app looks friggin amazing. :(

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

@fcrochik
All(most) of my contatcts are imported :-) I have imported them from my previous Symbian phone. That's why some of them have other types. Now when I know what is causing the issue I will find a way to solve it permanently for my device and contact book.
Thank you for your help and time!

New Release 0.9.26

Improved user interface (mycontacts 2)

Click here for details

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

@fcrochik
Do you plan to make the design of the contacts cards when called from the widget to be similar to the one of the new version of MyContacts? It looks a lot nicer than the current.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Yes. It is something that I plan to do down the road. But before that I want to implement some other ideas I have (format phone numbers, contact status, send sms, send mms, enhance grouping, ...)

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Why does it load up the web page automatically whenever the phone reboots?

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I fixed this issue on the last version . Didn't I? :)

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

I dont think so. It still pops up as much as in the recent release.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Very odd.... It should only open automatically the html page after installing/upgrading.

Please check the file:
It should say under the [General] section:

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

New Release - 0.9.27

This is the first release to support auto-reject "private calls".

More details here

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Mine still shows [Version=7] after current update today. And it still pops up the website.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

sweeeeet I'm gonna try this

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

Thank you for adding private call reject!

Question: Do I have to use All (reject priv calls) monitor mode? Or will Auto Reject Calls do this too? If not could you add another Mode Auto Reject Calls incl. priv Calls?

Other Questions:
Have you considered making a standalone call blocking app? I would greatly appreciate it as it is all I need from MyContacts atm.

I played with the widget and noticed some contacts will just show the first name and no family name even tho both are in the Contact.
Why is that so?
Most of my Contacts were imported from a Samsung OmniaHD (Symbian S60v5) via Bluetooth vcard xfer.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click
 

That is very strange to say the least. A few things you can try:
1. make sure you exit the application selecting "shutdown" from the menu
2. change a few settings on the application (every change will trigger the config/settings file being saved again)
3. rename the config without the application running and then start it - it will create a new file. IMPORTANT: your groups are saved in the configuration file so don't discard it. We are just trying to figure out why it is not updating the version

Let me know if you can get the application to update the config file. Also, please double check that you have the latest version by checking the installed package information AND if you have the latest version you should have a "All (reject private calls)" as one of the options for "monitoring incoming calls".

You asked for it :)

Thanks for the donation by the way!
