2600? do you have thumbnails for many of them? I am afraid the simple answer is that the application is not ready for you. Worst I don't think any application based on qt mobility as now is ready to handle this kind of volume. As now in order to get even one contact the contacts backend will first parse the entire database and build a copy of it in memory

I am curious: does the standard contacts/phone applictions hand this volume without problem?

Maybe 10%.

Problem free, though sometimes they can be a little slow, depending on what else is open.

I really can't see how any application using qt mobility to get the contacts will be able to handle this load as it is. Like I said before qt mobility will parse and load into memory your entire database of contacts (all info for all contacts) before any application can start to manipulate the data. At best it will take a very long time ...

You can follow the steps on a previous post to save the application log and look for error messages. I am not positive on how big of a log horizontal call will generate so if you want (and I am not trying to push you to use my own application) you can try MyContacts - if it is an issue with the number of contacts or a "parsing" error by the backend will happen with it too (the log file should not be too big and will be @ /home/user/.mycontacts/log.txt). Feel free to PM any of them to me after you check that there isn't any "private" information there that you don't want to share (I don't think MyContacts will add any).

Well, you were my next hope as I had the same result with MyContacts: Loading...and then crash. The output of log.txt is virtually the same as hor.log. In other words, line after line of:

for log.txt: (CRT) ADR attribute data is corrupted

for hor.log: ADR attribute data is corrupted

If it's of any use, my contacts originated from a sync with my Mac Address Book.

Thank you both for (any) help/clues/info.

Thanks for the advise Felipe.
Just so you know, the log he sent me show that error for every contact that I tried accessing using displayLabel with so it is most definitely something with Qt backend.
Just a bit frustrating that I don't even know what to write in the bug report.

Hello there Eitama and all N900 lovers.

I cannot describe in words the joy that i felt when i installed this app. I usually place my phone in the car holder and dialing a non resent contact was a pain in the ...

Happy-Happy, Joy-Joy .... untill ...

Bug report:
My GSM operator sets Hidden Caller ID by default and i have to specifically set it to be sent. I have no problem when dialing from the default call app and others receive my ID ... When i dial with Horizontal-Call - they receive private number (tested it few times just to make sure).

Now please someone tell me how unfortunate is that?
Any ideas for sollution?

Excluding the bug - outstanding app Eitama!!
Keep up the good work!

Hello there and thx for the positive feedback!

I am happy you are finding the app useful, about your bug,
I am using a plain dbus call to dial the numbers, I can only assume that setting the caller id to true per call would require to prepend some data to the destination number.

I'll need to find out what that number is, and add an option to prepend stuff, from C++/Qt perspective it's easy. Just need to find out the required information, it's probably written in the GSM RFC.

I just don't have time to do all this right now, I'll see what I can do for you.

I'm still waiting for damn Qt Mobility 1.0.1/1.0.2 to get released and fix 2 other bugs that users have seen.

I hope to help you in the near future (:
If you have any programming exp, it's open source and you can download the source and fix it up for your needs.

Eitam.

hey there eitama,

Awesome work with horizontal call

. I actually used it as a starting place to make my own little app called k9 call. While at this point, 99% of the code has been rewritten, it was still an awesome place to start coding for the N900.

I just wanted to let you know that I found a work around for the unicode not displaying correctly. Basically it boils down to Qt Mobility is giving you an string that it *thinks* is ASCII encoded but it is actually UTF-8 encoded. A little bit of trickery and you can actually get a UTF-8 encoded string back out. You can download the source and take a look at how I "fix" the strings.

Very nice mate! I am glad horizontal-call helped you start your own project! I'll take a look at your code for the unicode thingy!

Cheers!
