Guest jonnyb Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I have managed to get it to work for one contact but only by renaming the default.jpg file in the ipsm/program files/V2R Caller2Picture directory and then naming my image file default.jpg (size 90x105). I just seems to ignore the files in the pictures dir... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 It's killed my phone.... Hangs on Orange sunset after i all my SD card files were replaced with "unknown file" icons :/ Hard reset hear i come.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest casper508 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Tried renaming , resizing, deleting data files, moving files around and still no luck. I've uninstalled it. I'll wait for another version. This is totally crap! :) Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Haven't got it working yet, but I was looking at it on the train... it definitely will need a reboot after you install it. It adds a link in /IPSM/Windows/Startup which runs the background task that actually displays the pictures. This is only called during the bootup process.

Guest casper508 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Wonder whats happening to the concepts of TESTING and Quality Assurance ! Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Just deleted it as well, nice idea shame it was released too early :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MECX Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 works fine for me---got it working with two diffent numbers and different pictures it does need alot of tweaking--will be good when a few bugs are ironed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I'm using it, works fine. Kludgy as hell to set up, but works just fine if you fiddle. It IS beta code, guys. Of COURSE it was released too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vector Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Shall try reinstalling it to the phone instead of storage card, see if i can get it to work :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 My phone is going to need a hard reset :) Completely dead :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 OK, I got mine going... only tried 1 contact... A couple of gotchas... It wants the callers phone number in the 02071234567 form not +442071234567 Also, the pictures need to be in /IPSM/Program Files/V2R Caller2Picture and the picture filenames I think need to have no spaces in them. If you just installed you will need to reboot your phone as the background application is only loaded at startup. I'd say they got the backend working and just threw together a really shite front end to get the demo version out and start drumming up some interest... the frontend is too s*** tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vector Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 WOOHOO finally got it working :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firaas Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I'd say they got the backend working and just threw together a really shite front end to get the demo version out and start drumming up some interest... Â the frontend is too s*** tho I agree. The way the software works is great, but its interface is rubbish. Can't get a decent sized picture either. If this is going to be an app up for sale in its current form, I can't see too many people buying it. What I'd hope for is that the interface will be totally customisable - via an xml file or something perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vector Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 There is an IA picture to caller app coming out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firaas Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Indeed. Seems a lot easier to use and cleaner - bottom of http://www.iastyle.com/cebitshow.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Well, well. That's the last time THAT developper releases beta versions to answer the clamoring hordes of users demanding to see it. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Devil Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 How come nobody mentioned that you need to run the app from your pc with the phone in the cradle? Anyway, the only way I got it to work was to install the app to my phone (Grrr...) when prompted and copy the photos I wanted (max 5) to IPSMProgram FilesV2R Caller2PicturePictures then re-booted (goodbye T9 slang). Ran PicSetup from the menu and input the number in normal format (0797... you don't need to change the one set up in contacts - leave that as +44797...) Then selected the photo for the number input on the marvellous interface supplied! Photo was a standard jpg taken from the phone (128x160) 4.63k file I'm using Windows XP. I'll see if there's anything obvious in the registry so I can get everything onto the SD card....If I can tear myself away from Scar Face on Sky 1! I may be sad but I think it's pretty cool - now where's that phone number that Jordan gave me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MECX Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 i agree with Syvwlch its only a beta---it is a total arse to set up but it does do the job all credit to the developer---i will personally buy its final release. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 One hard reset later.... I'll be waiting for the next beta/IA albums verions/whatever. Its a nice app, doubt i'd actually pay for it though :) Now off to e-mail the developers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 OK, i've just e-mailed V2R with a run down of the problems and responces we've had from here, hopefully i'll hear back from them soon and i'll let you all know what they have to say :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dodgybob Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Are you supposed to see a Preview of your Pic in the preview bit at the bottom or is that "under construction"... Ive got it installed and selected numbers and pics... im using a 480x640x24bit pic... stored in IPSMProg... ... pictures {as mentioned before} and named "bob.jpg" Im using my home number and have started it: 00442083XXXXXX is this correct... am I missing anything... I tried calling from the Home Number and it just came up with my number being called... no pic... :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Firaas Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 It should be the bog standard STD code + number so ... "0161 999 9999". Remember to restart your phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maverick Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 No need to restart the phone... Use Smart Explorer and just click on the Caller2Picture.exe file. Look fellas... I think its a good program. Only the interface is crappy becoz its an "EARLY PUBLIC BETA" Release. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
