Anyone Using Photo Contacts Pro ????

Hi all
I have installed Photo Contacts Pro in my Wiazrd and it's running ok except does anyone know the way to disable the T-Mobile contacts screen that pops up when recieving a call, it,s covering half of the photo when some one rings me

Contact their help desk
Hey Fozzer,
I have the same program but on a different device. I had a few problems with it but their help desk or tech support people were a great help. I would try contacting them!

FOZZER
The next release will fix the issue, am currently beta testing and it is working like a charm.

great product
with loads of new features i am testing there beta too..and they are about to release this new version for windows mobile 5...i think u must mail lisa as she is a great help and responds fast...
i hope u r using the latest beta for windows mobile 5...as that has non of these issues...so mail her and if u have bought the software then she will quickly send u a beta..
Email us at : [email protected]
http://www.pocketX.net/downloads.html

Can somebody post the link to the beta version pls?

beta sent to us is a full version as we have paid for the previous photo contacts pro.u can buy on handango..as pocketx sends software via mail only,lisa from pocketx would mail u the latest beta within 24hrs...its really worth a buy...trust me...go for it

Can anyone with the beta please tell me if the new version supports changing the sms tone per caller as well as the ringtone ? If it does, I will purchase it immediately.
Thanks

Not satisifed with support of PocketX
Hello,
i´m not satisfied with the support of PocketX (Lisa especially).
A few days ago i asked her to send me the beta for WM5 but she answered that the beta testing period is over and that "in a few days" the new version will be released.
Now i read in this thread that other users got the beta if they have purchased an old version.
So, i purchased today v3.2 via Handango and asked Lisa again to send me the beta (because i need this program urgent).
And again her answer was:
"Hi Adrian,
Our beta period is now over. We are releasing a new version of Photo Contacts PRO in a few days. It will be compatible with Windows Mobile 5.
Check our website on Thursday and you will be able to upgrade for free:
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc
Best Regards,
Lisa"
I´m totally dissatisfied with the support of PocketX and i can´t understand their customer politics. If the release of v4.0 is on thursday why aren´t they willing to give me the beta ? :evil:
I hope that some of the responsibles of the PocketX Software company will read this !
Bye, Pyro
P.S. Perhaps could be one of the beta testers be so kind and email me a copy of it because i promised the CEO of my company to show him this app tomorrow !
This is the reason why my concern is so urgent

SMS delivery notice shows only the number not the name?

I am pasting the question from another forum which interests me as well…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi all,
when sending sms and you set the setting for ask for delivery notice on you get back the delivery notice but it will only show you the number not the Name.
This is very annoying when you are sending sms to many contacts.
Is there a work around that?. I contacted the poor online support of Imate and one "not-so-tactful" support lady said "this is what it suppose to do" and they cut me off even before asking my next question to them.
what a shame i-mate has such a poor online support."

Unfortunately I don't think there is. The delivery report comes back from the networks servers with the persons mobile number only. The contact name for that number is stored locally on your phone handset only. What you need is a program that can scan received delivery reports, pull out the number and match it to your contacts database. Far too long winded.
Such a function would probably only benefit someone sending one sms to multiple contacts, then waiting to see who actually received it, so probably not considered by any software developers.

never the less, it is still a shortcoming of the Windows Mobile software, as all nokia phones old and new (even the ancient 8210), and sony ericsson phones can do this!

Send Contacts using SMS's

Dear All,
i have tired from searching for an application to enable me send a contact details using SMS. after a long search i found a similar application called RJV SendContact (http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=52421) , but it is for smart phones. do anyone know a similar application that can work with our PPC Wizard devices.

Can't help, but i would like one too.
Yet another big shortfall with WM5. I mean, FFS, Vcard's have been a standard feature in mobiles for years.

Hi there.
Try looking/searching for Sunnysoft Vcard. Google it and you will know that it is what you guys are looking for.
Regards.
Morisa

Try Vazu.
I used it back about two years ago when they first offered it as a free beta. I used it for a year and then they tried to start charging for it. But I see now that they are once again offering the service free of charge, except for international SMS messages.
BTW, I have no connection of any kind with them, except that I used it for a while.
Good luck.

this is for sending sms for the us, but not Vcards from your device.

I don't know if it's just US or not, but you can upload your contacts (read: vCards) to their site and they will then be sent to your phone via SMS.
That info may be beyond the main page - read through the site and you'll see what I'm talking about. I used it about two years ago when they first established the site to send about 200 Outlook contacts from my PC to a Motorola T720 (Ugh 0 what a dog that phone was!)
OK - I copied the link directly to the page that explains how to import contacts from Outlook, Outlook Express, Apple Mail, or Ximian Evolution (Whatever that is) for transmission directly to your cell phone:
https://www.vazu.com/help/import_contact.php

Many Thanks
Many Thanks for your effort, it can be a replacement

I use this small program. it adds "Sens as Vcard"to the contactsmenu, when you hold your stylus on a contact.
And it recognises Vcards when you recieve them.
I don't know where I found this so I attach it to this post, I hope this is not Illegal. Otherwise Google for vCardforminiS.cab
good luck

Great App, but i google for it i did not find anything concerning this app, anyway , thanks alot

I could not find it with google eather, sorry for the wrong tip

o2 sms has this feature
The O2 SMSprogram has this feature. Someone on this forum posted the version that can be installed on the Wizard. I tried it once but found it a bit slow. Then again I was running the original Cingular Rom which sucked big time. Search for the thread and try it out. The only drawback is that the application does not eliminate the messages from also showing up in the default WM5 messaging application.

I tried installing it in my phone. It says Installation unsuccessful. Am I doing anything wrong ?

Sent a request saying I purchased the phone from the US this weekend. Let's hope this'll do.

ive done this about an hour and a half ago, no reply as of yet. hopefully itl be done by the time i get back from uni

I had to wait one day but I got the code

I actually told them in my email that I wanted to use Windows Phone 7 on HD2 and if it was ok with them to send me a key. I didnt want to lie and would have stayed on Android if it didnt work.
A day later I got a key.
result

Just tested and wait...
MS must give us quickly, because Android is really perfect on HD2 now

If Microsoft wanted they could've stopped giving out codes. But I'm pretty sure Microsoft is more than happy to have Windows Phone 7 gain a considerable amount of Userbase!
For them, at this stage its all about increasing the Userbase than trying to stop people form using WP7.

The internet explorer included in the WP7 rom is still not able to give you the full internet experience, all other users have also problems because some sites are not working. Microsoft will fix this in the next updates like Nodo or Mango.
For the activation code you won't find anybody here who will give you one.
So you have to do it the hard way and contact microsoft for that.
Don't worry they are cool, I called one of the support guys and even told them that I have a HD2 with WP7 on it, he didn't cared.

I agree with Finalforce1111. There are a few different threads that give exact instructions on how to obtain an activation key. I obtained mine using the support chat but I personally know others that have call Microsoft directly and gotten one. Microsoft is aware of what is going on and do not seem to care. So, getting an activation key should be easy.

Code stories!!
More codes with people, mean more users, more users,mean more money for our friends in M$.
