Photo Contacts Pro Question

[natecorbitt]

I just purchased Photo Contacts Pro, because I wanted to use different ringtones for different people on my i730. The picture thing was just a bonus. Well, I installed it and assigned a picture and ringtone to both my wife's cell and my home number. However, when both of them call, it does not give a picture, and it still uses the default ringtone. Originally, I had the ringtones and pictures stored to my SD card. When it didn't work, I moved them to the My Documents folder in main memory. It still is not working. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?

From the FAQ (http://www.pocketx.net/smartphone/photocontacts_install.html#FAQ):

Question: I am having trouble assigning photos to contacts. I have named by images properly and transferred them to my Smartphone but they are not showing up.
Answer: Please make sure you're not adding a double ".jpg" extension to your images in Windows on your PC. Open 'My Computer' and click on Tools/Folder Options/View. Make sure that the "Hide extensions for known file types" is NOT checked.

Question:I have loaded the demo version of Photo Contacts on my Smartphone. However, the pictures that I assigned to the contacts do not come up. Any suggestions?
Answer:The DEMO version of Photo Contacts is limited to displaying and using the first 8 contact photos only. All other contacts with photos will display a demo image. Therefore, you should assign a photo to one of the first 8 contacts in the list, depending on the sort-order of the contacts in Photo Contacts.

Do a small test:

1. Create a contact on your Smartphone with the first name "A" and last name "A". Give it your home telephone number in the Home Telephone Number field.
2. Crop a contact photo using a simple image editor (Irfanview works really well) and name the image "A A.jpg"
3. Connect your Smartphone to your computer and establish an Activesync Connection
4. Click on "Explore" in Activesync and browse to "\Storage\My Documents\Photo Contacts" on the Smartphone.
5. Copy the "A A.jpg" image from the PC onto the Smartphone.

Now open Photo Contacts and you should see A A as the first contact in the list with the photo. Call your Smartphone from your home phone and you will see the photo when the phone rings (Photo Caller ID).

Thank you for the information. I didn't realize that the photos had to be in the \My Documents\Photo Contacts folder.

CORRECTION - I have Wisbar Advance on my PPC, so when I was hitting the X button in the upper right corner, it was shutting it down, not minimizing it. Is there a way to make Wisbar just minimize one program rather than closing it?

One thing you can do is to set up Wisbar so that a "tap" on the X closes, and a "tap and hold" smart minimizes. This would not be for a single app, it would work that way for all running apps.
