Contact list is empty
All guys here: Please update the client (www.fjsoft.at/mpeclient.apk). The change is that MPE loads now all data from DB, but the photos are loaded in 10 pieces steps. I hope this will not decrease the performance...
Tadaaa!
I am happy to announce, that it is working here now. Thanks a lot!
Two issues that I would like to see adressed though (if you want me to, I can create a new thread regarding those):
- Contacts that are automatically added to my address book by Gmail (typically caused by mails from companies and other spam) show up in MPE. On my phone I have chosen not to display these and would really like the same functionality in MPE.
- It would also be really nice, if MPE was able to merge contacts (e.g. if a contact exists in both Gmail contacts and Facebook), so the same contact does not have several entries - just like the phone does.
Once again, thanks for your hard work. Not having MPE was really a setback when switching to Android.

Perfect.
1) There is a filter planned in the client where you can set up which accounts can be accessed by MPE
2) Merged view is a tiny thing in Android 2.0, but its nothing for MPE. It would make too much problems when syncing f.e. with Outlook
One more request. Please tell me:
- how much contacts are shown in MPE
- how much of them have contactpictures
- when you do a normal sync without changes on both sides: How long do you see "Initializing sync..." in the statusbar of MPE ?

Ad 1) Great!
Ad 2) Not so great. I guess there are a lot more Android users than Outlook users - and that user base is only growing. Thus, if it is 'easy' to make it work for Android only I will ask you to reconsider that...
The figure:
- MPE says I have 485 contacts (316 from Google + 169 fra Facebook)
- Roughly 400 have contact pics
- A sync with no changes takes 22 seconds

Current state: I will wait if there are more users with this problem. Its planned to implement a filter to select which contact-accounts are synced. Then you could disable f.e. Facebook to avoid the problem.
I have the same problem with my HTC Desire Android 2.2, everything exept phonebook syncing works fine. I really hope you can fix this, because i remeber using this prg with SE 810 and it was SUPERB.
MPE version on phone 1.0.3
MPE on pc 1.8.0
