DWP

Hello All, This bug, and the Android Menu button bug, are now being discussed under this thread: http://forum.dw-p.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2524 It seems that these two bugs may be just different aspects of the same bug. I have confirmed that the problem can be saved to the Settings Backup file. ...

please can you make a backup of your settings, and then add it to this thread, maybe i can load your specific config of DWC, and maybe i can then reproduce it. Also, please can you try to: 1.) reset the settings to default values. then restart the phone 2.) then try to setzup as you would like it. ...

More news... I tried DWP V2.1.4-free on an identical phone. It worked without any of these problems. It must be my phone - again... Another rebuild... (sigh) I'll maybe try backing up my settings and do a rebuild. But not today. Thanks for your interest in this problem. I don't know why it keeps hap...

Hi Camel, Welcome Back! :D I just looked at this bug again, since your return and latest reply. I will save my (DWC) Settings and upload them, but I thought this would interest you first - and may be enough to solve it? Since, I guess (as this is the first time I have seen this), upgrading to 2.1.4-...

Hi David, dwp Actually, most phones have a system for filtering Recent calls into Missed, Dialled, Answered and I think it's a great, minor addition. A feature that was lacking, I think. However, your comment has helped me to realise that the way it has been done is counter-intuitive. Maybe that's w...

Hi dwp, Yes, this looks much better. Even bigger if possible? There seems to be enough room. Is that the original order of the icons? How does it look when one or more is/are disabled / Off? Do you have a light grey image there instead? I looked at the proposed new skin, but I can't read Chinese, so...

Hi dwp,

Oh well. Thanks for trying. I have no explanation for this. It just happens on my phone. I may try the demo version on another identical phone and see if it's the same.

Hi dwp, Immediately noticed the new Recent Calls List controls. Didn't realise what they were for a second tho'... A great idea. However, for me, in my car, in daylight, while the buttons are very obvious, the symbols are hard to see. Could I please request that the buttons be altered? Instead of ha...

Hi dwp,

FYI: this appears to have successfully been fixed in 2.1.4 (-pro anyway).

Many thanks for that.

A

Hi dwp, Just to confirm, the problem is still the same in 2.1.4-pro. On my Defy (Android 2.2.2), it's very easy to replicate. With "Prompt before exit" turned ON (Enabled), just: 1: Start DWC. 2: Press the Android Return button. DWC will close immediately = not the correct result. Now, try...

Hi DWP, I've noticed over the time that I've been using DWP that it often takes a long time for edits to contact numbers to appear in DWP. For example, I just discovered an incorrect number in one of my contact listings. One digit had been typed wrongly. I went in and corrected it, but it still hasn...

Hi karam, it is a problem of import of records from Outlook in Android 2.3.4. Yes, I have many of those similar problems. I use Google Contacts (over WiFi) to sync (really, to backup) my contacts, then export to CSV (google.csv) from Google Contacts. Then import to MS Excel as a CSV file and use it ...

Hi DWP,

If it's any help, I believe the problem only appeared in V2.1.3. I certainly never noticed it before that, and I'm sure I would have.

So maybe you can see what code has been changed in 2.1.3?

Cheers,
A

Hi DWP, what method you use to add the two organizations field as a contact? I'm using the Standard features of Android 2.2. Nothing clever or fancy, just standard. Replicate as follows: Using the Stock Contact Editor (Or CE Pro), go to any contact in your list. Scroll down to the Organizations data...

Hi DWP, I've noticed that the "Prompt before exit" function doesn't work sometimes. I have noticed it many times. Initially, I thought I must have inadvertently tapped twice and not noticed, but now I'm sure it's a real bug. I think it's related to the problem where the Android Menu button...

Hi DWP, I use DWC+P for work. I have many different customers and contacts, with various different detail types. For example, I have a a Contact who is a Contract Maintenance Engineer. He has his own business, and contracts to several others. I have listed him under his own Organisation (Company) Na...

Hi Devin, The fault happens on my phone when I first start the app. The app appears to open normally, Tabs appear, with the Default one selected. If I then try to access the Options Menu (Press the Android menu button), all I get is a vibration (haptic). No menu appears. Repeat: Tap, tap, tap... all...

Hi Devin, Yes, this fault happens everytime, on my phone. As soon as I open DWC, the Menu button doesn't work. (My default Tab is "Organisation"). I can press the Android Menu Button many times. All I get is a "vibrate" response each time. No Menu pops up. If I now select a diffe...

Hi karam, Here's a thought: The Android app "Contact Editor Pro" shows a field it calls "Department" under the Organisation data subset. If I include one, my phone (Moto Defy) displays it inside (brackets) after the Organisation name, thus: Organisation (Department) Maybe CE Pro ...

Hi Forum Members and Viewers, I can now answer part of my own question. I e-mailed DWP directly. After a while, I received a reply. It said that Camel is very busy, and that Devin will be answering questions for the time being. Seems odd that Camel couldn't tell us that himself. Anyway, I look forwa...

Hi Patrick,

Yes, exactly, and very succinctly put. And thanks for the Android link. Will follow up when I have more time.

Cheers,
Al

Hi DWP Forum Moderator, Like others, I'm wondering what has happened to Camel? Has he left? I installed the latest release V2.1.3(-pro) and things seem to have gone wrong. Has anyone else had this experience?: When I first installed, in almost every Tab, pressing the Android Menu button brought up t...

And it allows you to (automatically) "extend" your alphabet, to also have names beginning with numbers (3M anyone?) and leading punctuation marks if you like (e.g. to change sort order, and put certain items first on the list regardless). And Quick-Jump only offers the characters that are ...

Hello again camel, so, if anyone wants to help, then please go to google and repoort it as bug.... I'd be willing to try that, though the chances of getting such a fix into a budget, Carrier Customized, Android 2.2 phone...? I think I'm more likely to see Piglet fly past my window! But, if you think...

P.P.S. Oops, forgot to also mention... If you ever do decide to create a DWC Outgoing calls log, you would still be able to use the Highlight system to identify those possibly uncertain (outgoing) call contacts that were made using a different dialler than DWC - since those calls will appear in the ...

P.S. I forgot to mention this in the previous post (above). Since it may not be easy (or quick) to implement your own DWC Outgoing Calls log to achieve the correct Contact being listed when calling using suffixed ;extension dialling, I have thought of a way to at least alert the user to this problem...

Hi again camel, this means, taht dwc can not recognize, because it load the data from android system call log. That's too bad. Sorry to put you to so much forum time over this one thing, which Android doesn't even do... I wondered about that, right at the start. Not sure if this is a bug, or just an...

Great! I look forward to the release of 2.1.1. Will you be able to extend that later to FIRST + LAST + COMPANY? That's what the other guy (baulrich) wants, and I can see the value of it too, though it probably won't be my preferred search method. I think it requires a second (ok, third) query (is th...

Hi camel, Yes, if you could add that to DWC, I would be very happy. :D :D At the moment, I am just doing all this for my own use, but once I am happy with the way DWC is working, I will try to get my boss to buy it for everyone in the company. He is a bit of a tech lover, so it should be easy - so l...

Hi Camel, Thanks for your reply but I think you didn't fully understand my question. the extension will be ignored/trim on finding which contact have called you. The problem I am discussing is not about who called me. It's about who *I* just called. I would rather expect the phone to know what Conta...

Hi Camel, Not sure if this is a bug, or just another bad feature of the Android contacts system. I have a particular large customer who has a Manual-entry Extension PABX. I have 10 different contacts in the company. When I call someone in that organisation, I have to call in on the one same (Trunk) ...

Hi panteliskar, I don't know if this is what you want, and I haven't tested it to see how it works, but: If you already have some different groups set up, go to the Groups Tab and Long Tap on one of the groups you have. You'll get a Long Tap menu. Scroll down, 2nd from the bottom is "Set ringto...

here is a trick ;-) Great, thanks. Have downloaded but not yet installed, pending your answer to my next question! Anyway, another weird event with my phone just now. DWC was idle, I wasn't using it, but it was loaded and (I think) still running. I turned Wi-Fi on and tried to check e-mail. Phone &...

Hi Camel,

I have tried to send you a PM, but the message is stuck in the Outbox. I guess that means I can't.

I would like to ask you if I can revert to V2.0.9.1, please.

Al

Hi Camel, Upgraded to V2.1.0 this morning. (Unfortunately, made a mistake, also updated a couple of other apps - Google Maps & Contact Editor, and now someone is crashing my phone - twice so far today, a hard lockup. Never had this problem before...) Anyway, tried out the new Search options, but...

Hi again camel, Ahh, okay. Great! Thanks again. Didn't know you had already done that. Marten didn't mention it to me, though I did mention it to him in my discussions about what can be done. I found a couple of small bugs in CE that he is going to fix. Maybe he's busy on that. So I look forward to ...

Hey Camel! COOL, COOL, COOOOOL!!!! My admiration for you and DWC just went up Another notch! These two tricks will pretty much do just what I want. It even works (i,e. Long tap) on Title listing, so I can exactly do both things, with just a few more steps. Is there anything you haven't already thoug...

Hi Camel, Still loving DWC, but finding the Android 2.2 contacts system generally somewhat frustrating. This request follows on from our previous conversation at: http://forum.dw-p.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2466 which got a bit off-topic, hence the new thread. I asked before about whether you coul...

Hi there, I would also like to support Camel and DWP in setting the price of their app. As I've said before, I think this is by far the best Contact manager for Android available. I think it's already great, and only set to get better. I need it for Business, because the stock contact manager on my ...

Hi Camel, Thanks for your comments. I thought it might be like that - too difficult because it's outside your scope. But if you COULD create your own Contact Detail viewer for DWC, then my theme would be the same all the way, and the details would be SO much easier for me to read. (I'm getting to th...

Hi Camel, Ok, I don't know what's going on! !!! Today, when I use the "Organisation" block in a Search Result list contact (as described above), now it seems to work as I would expect. It lists the other contacts for that Organisation, which is what I'd want. Yet previously, I kept on gett...

Great! Sorry, I missed it under General. Thanks for the additional details about current searching, and what is planned. May I ask you to add a different Search Feature as a higher priority than the Advanced Search features you are already planning? I'm pretty sure that the feature I'm asking for is...

Hi Camel, OK, thanks for the reply!! No problem, I will try what you say, or just get used to it. I thought it would be simple, but don't waste your precious time on it. I have a much more important request, which I'll post shortly. BTW, I bought the Pro version today - though it wasn't as smooth as...

Hi there Baarlow, Yes, I can say from my own experience that using vCard (Version 2.1 anyway) is not a good option for migrating contacts off your phone, even if you have DWP installed. vCard is not really up to the job and regularly screws up the data in some form or other. In my case, it either en...

Hi All, Ok, I'm having this same problem, and I can't figure out from any of these posts (this one) or this one: http://forum.dw-p.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=479 how to fix it. I have gone round and round the Settings, and the Tab settings and can't see a way to solve it - except to Unlink the cont...

Hi there, I'm still a relative Noob when it comes to DWC (but I think it's the Greatest!) However, as I explore it, I find more things I don't understand. At the moment I don't understand the "Linked contacts" feature. I see that each Contact can have linked contacts, and I can set them. B...

Hello Camel, As I've said, I just love DWP!!! But, suffering from a colour vision impairment, I can't read the tab name for any Tab that is currently selected. When unselected, the icon and the name are white and easy to read, but when selected, only the icon is White, the Tab being Red and the font...

Hi again DWP / Camel, I know you have already touched on this question in another post about Advanced Searching: http://forum.dw-p.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2454&p=3515&hilit=search#p3515 However, I would like to request a similar feature. I love many things about DWP, but this area might ...

Hi Camel / DWP, First: I just LOVE your DWP app! LOVE IT!!! It's so much better than the Default Android interface. I'm fairly new to Android and very new to DWP, but I expect I'll be here often! I'm a travelling sales rep. I use my phone intensively, everyday, for many things. Mostly, I use it when...
