Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

I am wanting to get a new dialer / contact manager and wanted to get some input from some of you on a few different programs. Specifically, I am looking at

• Iconsoft PhonEx
• Inesoft Phone 4
• Resco Contact Manager

I was also looking at SPB Phone Suite and iDialer, but think I have pretty much dropped those two.

The main thing I am after is a Dialer that also has T9-style contact searching. This is why I dropped iDialer from the list. I like the program, it's free, but doesn't do contact searching from the phone pad. I have hundreds of contacts...I'd rather not scroll through them by hand. Also, SPB Phone Suite has a pretty good Today plugin, but after that there isn't much to the program. No dialer either.

I'd also like a Today plugin of some sort to keep the information at hand. I use SPB Pocket Plus and would like a plugin to accompany it.

What are your thoughts on the programs above?

Inesoft is awesome, I have been using that for a while & I love it.

Photo Contact Pro is really nice also (I use the two programs together)

I personally prefer Phonex. 1.3 just came out, still has a minor bug if you use SPB mobile shell otherwise its great. Very fast scrolling, simple, not too cluttered, easy to edit photos etc. The others are similar, i just like the layout and speed of Phonex. Found Photo contact pro far too cluttered and if you have alot of contacts, its slow to scroll page by page unless you entere the exact name. Phonex scrolls just as fast as an iphone for easy viewing etc. Inesoft is similar but just a preference thing. Tried the new resco one as well which is very fast to load and has integrated sms threading if you dont use sms chat etc.

Yea, it's all personal preference. I had Phonex & the Inesoft program both installed for a while & much preferred the Inesoft myself (I liked the Inesoft address book & the history screen much better), but they are quite similar programs.

I like Inesoft Phone 4 myself. There is also another one that you might want to try called Sunnysoft Contacts. It is very fast when looking up contacts. I have over 1500 contacts stored on my phone for my business and both of these programs work great.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

I am really really in love with resco cm. Its very intuitive and has some ballin' *** features. I would recommend, however, not letting resco handle incoming calls, because that crap is fugly. S2U2 is what does my answering and, together, they make me a happy Brad.

I use it on my Diamond. I mainly got it to get rid of the ring delay that the HTC dialer has. However, I haven't noticed any change in the ring delay.

Unless I'm doing something wrong.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

I use Inesoft & it totally eliminated the ring delay. You have to make sure you totally disable the HTC diaaler & s2a setup as you can use it either way & it won't affect the delay at all if the HT stuff is still running.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

How would I go about making sure of this?

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

Use Advanced Config, under the phone section, there is a section for dialer -set it to disabled.

~John

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

Under Phone, I don't see an option for dialer (v3.3) but just Phone Skin which is set to disabled.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

Yea, that's it (I was doing it from memory earlier & didn't remember the exact terminology)

Setting that skin to disabled made my phone ring two rings earlier on incoming calls. With the HTC skin enabled, if I called my cell from my home phone I would get the phony first ring that you always get but then the TP would light up but not ring or vibrate for two more rings. That was driving me nuts, I would get calls going to VM because I wasn't fast enough to get the phone out of a belt case & answer it (or I wouldn't even hear it ring)

Now, I get that first ring, but the TP starts ringing & vibrating before the second ring even starts from my home phone. Between the faster response & using a "super loud ringtone" from Photo Contact Pro I never miss a single call.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

Weird. I haven't had that at all. I don't use a custom dialer on my VZW TP yet, but have installed S2U2 - I guess I just have to find a proper dialer that works with it.

On my Diamond, I use PocketShield for locking and PhonEx 1.3 and that's where I expected the ring delay to come down to a minimum and I just tried the Advanced Config on that phone with nogo. I called my Diamond from my home phone. On the home phone I hear the first ring, then right before the 2nd ring I see that the Diamond's LED starts, then right when the 3rd ring starts is when my Diamond actually starts ringing.

I'm going to try and experiment with the TP now before I play more with the Diamond. Just gotta find which dialer works well with the S2U2.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

I don't use s2u2, I could never get it to work right in my TouchPro's (although it's all I ever used in my old titan's). I switched to Pocket Shield & that has been working perfectly for me.

I think I've read posts claiming that 2u2 may slow down the incoming response, but I may be wrong on that.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

Yeah, I tried it on my Diamond long ago - but somehow it slowed me down. However, on the TP, it works well. I like it because of the new notifications that it shows up right on the lock screen (Reminders/Messages/Emails) and ofcourse, the weather.

Re: Need comments on new Dialer / CM
 

Thanks for all the great comments / suggestions on this! Got some thinking to do now...
