Argh, it's me one more time..... I tested the IM status and it's not working, I had a look at my contacts numbers and adresses... in the N900 list I do have 3 phone numbers or more and email adresses also IM adresses , in your app, for those same contacts, I do find only the phone numbers, sometimes email but never the IM adress. it is just like if the app was unable to load those datas, even if I reboot my device, nothing changes. Another strange thing is that sometimes, the last 2 digits on phone numbers are hidden by thos picto on the right side of numbers.. however, I still use it, too cool your app, really. kristinof

Please note that you will only see IM addresses for services that you are currently online (e.g. if you are not logged in to skype you won't see the skype button for contacts with skype accounts).

In order for me to help you, please provide me:

version of mycontacts you have installed
all the "account" types you have setup (skype, sip, ... )
screenshot of the phone number that does not fit so I can find out how to fix it
log file at /home/user/.mycontacts/log.txt

NEW RELEASE on extras-devel - 0.9.15-1

New Features/Changes:

Widget supports portrait mode (auto rotate contacts)
Clicking the 'avatar' on the contact dialog will open the "standard contact editor application" (1)
No restart on boot (2)
VICaR integration now uses session bus (requires latest version of VICaR)
Fixed portrait style sheet
Phone button will stretch as much as possible on contact dialog
Created bug tracker
No more accidental group selection while swiping to switch desktop

Notes:
(1) As now the application will not update the information after your changes until you reload the entire "database" - so don't expect to see the changes after you hit save on the dialog. Also please note that "mycontacts" is not handling the contact editing - the standard contacts application is so it is "safe".
(2) I removed the "hack" because was causing too much "confusion". For now you need to manually install the widget after every boot or use the hack here.

fcrochik, does this release remove the crochik symbolic link that gets created when MyContacts first starts?

I've installed new version today, and I found something "strange". All avatars color are changed, and in some case they are wrong (a picture of one contact is used by another contact). I'll attach some screenshot. I've rebooted the phone, but the problem persist.
The avatars in the "stock" address book are fine.
As you can see, "casa" is blue instead of yellow, and I've seen some lost of resolution compared to previous version of mycontacts. "Melissa" contacts instead has a wrong picture (also this avatars, like others appear blue)

P.S. thanks for the "No more accidental group selection while swiping to switch desktop" solving.. and for your work!

Hi fcrochik,
I've also upgraded to last version and now mycontacts doesn't show turkish characters in contact names. Previous version was fine, "stock" contacts is fine, so I guess you must be using a different font set. Any remedies you can suggest?

This is the first time I did not include my "custom" Qt Mobility Backend. On my tests the "stock" one now seems to include all the fixes I had on mine. All that you need to do is update the version installed on your phone:

run as root on x-terminal:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

NOTE: This will update all the packages with the latest versions on the repositories. I couldn't find a way to tell apt to just upgrade the libqtm-contacts.

If by any chance you don't want that to happen you can run on x-terminal as root:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get remove libqtm-contacts
apt-get install libqtm-contacts
apt-get install mycontacts

The second method will uninstall any other application that you have installed that also depends on libqtm-contacts.

IF BY ANY REASON this doesn't solve the problems let me know and I will immediately publish a new version including my "custom" backend.

Hi fcrochik,

I also have the same issue, where all the pics have a blue tint to them and none of the photos are matching to the actual photo of the contact.
I tried the solutions you have suggested and have had no luck with them at all. I still have the blue tint and unmatching contact photos??

I really hope you are able to find a solution to this issue, as this app is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your contribution to the community.
