Phonebook App by Voxmobili Onmobile

Phonebook
Voxmobili - Onmobile
Contacts are among the most important data on your phone. Phonebook gives them the place they deserve on your G1 phone.
Phonebook comes with a new user interface, a landscape view, a dialer and an activity log which centralizes calls and messages.
Your contacts stay on your phone, they are not sent to any remote servers.
Check it out in the market it looks good
more updates will be coming

The only thing that I wish it had was the ability to view all display groups. All you have to choose from is all or contacts with numbers. I would like to have MyContacts in the list, but other than that it is a slick app.

I actually almost love Phonebook... but it's SO FREAKING SLOW. Omg. I love that you can show contact images in the list, but my jebus, it takes like 5 minutes for my contacts to finish listing, and the scrolling is horrid if you have a lot of contacts. (I guess my 60 contacts are a lot for this app...)
I have it installed though, just so I'll know if it (ever) gets an update.

The exact same reason I uninstalled it.

Yup...was really slow... BUT it seems like the new update has addressed the speed issue somewhat. I haven't used it much since the update, but it did crash once.

seems to work fine, is ther away to go straight into 'phonebook' by pressing the green button? or does that go to g1 phonebook no matter wat.

One thing that I didn't like was that it seemed like it didn't share information with the stock contact list. I recall adding photos and updating numbers and e-mail addresses in it and it wasn't synced with my gmail contacts. Screw that, that's a big reason why I have a freakin' google phone.
Can anyone confirm or refute this?

did u add/edit after you u installed phonebook? when i installed phonebook it automatically synced all my contacts/pictures/information to phonebook.
i still have no idea how to set it as the default phonebook.. help

Great App! Very slick interface but having the ability to sort through your various Google groups would be killer! I have over 1000 work contacts which gets in the way when I am trying to quickly look up a friend's number. I know it's free and I am VERY grateful , just thought I would give some constructive feedback! Thanks!

anybody how to make this the default so that when I press the call button PHONEBOOK APP pops up and not G1 phonebook?

the dev said thats not an option yet, once its more stable he will add the default app option

i have been using it for a while now....when it origionally launched it was very choppy and kept it installed so i knew when it was updated.....now the new version is awesome....cant wait for some grouping features and the ability to make this my default PB hurry hurry LOL

i think this phonebook app drains battery alot.

Not available in my market, either because I'm using an ADP1 phone or because I'm in the wrong region/country. To be honest this crap is starting to piss me off. Every passing week I find that more and more apps, including free ones, are unavailable to me for God knows what reason. Even Apple's walled garden approach is better than this seemingly arbitrary crap. *sigh*

Even though I was mostly *****ing about the arbitrary market as a whole, not just this app, you certainly did. Many thanks!

It's ADP causing it and the sole reason I temporarily went back to RC33.

Yeah, I guess so. It sucks a$$, because there's no way I'll ever bow down and put a T-Mo image on my dev phone. I'd rather turn to piracy than to shame myself like that

Something Similar to tcalendar?

Does anyone know of a good widget calender app that will show the date? There is tcalendar, which is exactly what I'm looking for, but doesn't seem to work on the Hero.
If anyone knows of anything similar, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks..
Marc

check pure calendar widget. one of my favorites
http://koxx3.wordpress.com/

Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for one that just today's date and once you tap on it, it takes you to your calendar.
Thanks..

I downloaded tCalendar as well because of the day/date display. That bit works but it does not launch the calendar app. I left a comment in the Android Market to that effect and hopefully it will get fixed.

Yeah, I got the same thing. It's exactly what I'm looking for, if it just launched the calendar app.

Might be missing the point here, but...
The HTC widget shows the date (both the small and large versions) and when you tap the date it opens the Calendar app.

Thanks..that is helpful, yes. But, was hoping there was just a small icon.
Thanks..

Me too. I want the icon to display the correct date AND launch the calndar app.

Wow. Just found a new feature.

First of all, from HTC Kaiser to Samsung Vibrant to HTC HD 7 & I'm never going to look back!
OK now:
1. Go to an Email tile
2. Tap on the far left (next to the bolded name of the sender)
3. Voila - you have a slick option to select mail
Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Thought it might be useful

Yeah found it the other day by mistake but I didn't think it was any earth mover

Yeah, my phone actually pointed the feature out the other day - I was deleting several emails one at a time, and a little info bar appeared at the top to say you can click on the left to quick select.
Not an earth mover at all, but neat that it recognised what I was doing and was able to tell me how I could do it quicker!

I avg over 80 emails a day... how fun is my day selecting each one to delete

If you are deleting all the emails you have recieved each day, then consider to discontinue using email...

That makes no sense, what is the point of keeping an email once you have read it? I check most of my emails on my desk top, the phone I use to track what is happening via emails for 4 different accounts when out with clients.
I dont need 100 emails sitting on my phone.
I am simply stating that every phone I have every used even old ones allowed you to do a select all feature for old sms phones.
HD2 has it, why was it not placed into WM7, just a small feature which is important but also missing as many important ones are.
but face book is there, wheeepy another face book driven phone, like we dont have enough of those.

Here's another one that you may (or may not) be aware of.
when typing press and hold on the actual text you have been typing. A cursor will appear allowing you to re-position anywhere within the text.
very handy for going back to make changes (like inserting a space between words, inserting words etc.

I am also using 4 email accounts, two Exchange servers and two Hotmail accounts. I have no problem to have two weeks synchronized on all of the accounts. If you dont want it, than set it to last 3 days and you dont have to worry about...

Old D2 moto widgets?

Is there any way to get the old Droid 2 widgets to work on the Droid 4?
Or maybe I just need an alternative. I found it really handy to use a contact widget, in a 1x1 form. When clicked it would present a list of the known phone numbers for a contact and then dial whichever one was selected.
I don't really like the wide banner favorite contact widget. It's nice, it's just not for me.
If I create a shortcut app action from contacts I get that annoying drop-down menu. It's a row of icons showng call, contact, text, e-mail, chat or navigate. Again, this is a handy thing but not what I'd like.
I just want the old Moto widget. It made it very easy to have a single icon on the home page for a person, but still present a simple drop-down of phone numbers. Very handy when using the phone in the car dock.
So is there a way to use those old widgets on the D4? Or alternatives?

It looks like the closest thing you can do for now is a direct dial for each number, but that looks like it's not what you're looking for because you'd have a separate icon for each number.

If you could find a system dump from a D2 maybe you could add that functionality by installing the correct apk. Not sure though.

I still have my rooted D2. Can I pull what's needed from it?

Possibly. If you can find the correct .apk on your droid 2, upload it to dropbox, download from dropbox on your D4, then install the apk. I really have NO idea if that would actually work but it might be worth a try.

Or, Bluetooth transfer the file between phones........ or email...
But, those old Motorola apps usually needed every other blur app all working together to work... But good luck

[Q] using agenda on android wear

I have a LG G watch R since yesterday. I have been trying out all te functions and different apps but I can't seem to get it to make an appointment in my google agenda. I have tried saying different things using google Now but the only thing i get it to do is to view my agenda for today. Is there a way to make entry's in my agenda using the smartwatch?
I'm still trying to find out how everything works.

Use an app like "CalenGoo" and you can add calendar event and also Task.

Thank you for your reply. So at the moment the watch can't do this by itself? It needs an app for that? That sounds strange to my but i guess i will look into that suggested app. Thanks.

Try saying "Agenda for March" - it showed up next weeks appointments (test entries) for me - otherwise if you just say "Agenda" you get today only. If you say "Agenda for month" you get full size calendar page on the screen which you cant see - and a warning that it takes a long time to display.

Yes you can display your event but not add event without specific app
