Describe your suggested feature

It would be great to have an option to organize your contact list in a similar way it works in Nextcloud and the stock Android Contact app (in my case, CalyxOS - the app is close to AOSP).

I think it would have to be in the Caldav standard and/or Android System Contact standard because I can sync the "Labels" with DavX5 and can use both the handy and the Nextcloud ("Groups") to filter with them.

Other details

Personally, this helps me a lot to assign people with common names to the appropriate groups of people / places I know them from.

When it comes to implementation, I have two ideas:

1. as an additional filter option in the search bar (in the same Place as sorting first and last name).
2. as an alternative to the "Local" tab ⇾ "Groups" with a similar interface to select the group as in picture 2, when you then select one of the groups you get the filtered list of contacts.
   The previous functions of the "Local" tab could be displayed in the list of groups above as a highlighted group, through which you can then open the local contacts.

I would personally find the second variant more intuitive, but there are certainly other or even better implementations.

In the following example, the group at the bottom is called "Service".

Describe your suggested feature

Perhaps instead of using "Surname," which might not be an accurate descriptions of some cultures' last names, use the more generic "Last Name." It needs to be changed in at least the Edit menu, and the Sort By menu in the search bar in the main view.

I love your apps, they're fantastic! Trying to find a way to get involved in projects like these, but I still don't know much Kotlin. I think I like native app development though; native apps are a pleasure to use. Thanks, Bnyro!

Describe your suggested feature

The bar that has "Device" and "Local" buttons takes up a lot of screen space. Please consider making it collapseable, for example - when scrolling down it disappears (with a sliding animation) and when scrolling up it re-enters the screen.

Your other apps could benefit from this to - mainly Libre Tube.

I really like the alphabetical list present in most contacts apps. Could this be added to connectYou?

(Contacts name are on English.)

In a contact page, dates should be localized instead of showing YYYY-MM-DD format

Steps to reproduce

1. Edit Contact
2. Manege group
3. new
4. selecting new group

same behavior when adding the contact in another App (AOSP or Nextcloud)

Expected behavior

Group is created an added to the Contact

Actual behavior

The new Group isn´t saved, and does not show even before Saving the contact..
Group dos not show if created in another Service (only with new Groups, assigning existing ones works fine)

Describe your suggested feature

While I do love the material you concept, the thing which isn't completely appealing to me is to see many boring icons, all similar to each other. In fact, I enjoy how randomly colorful are the icons in the stock Contact App from LOS:

Would you please consider adding an option to make the icons colorful, while all of the remaining UI elements follow the Material you palette?

I wanted to give this app a chance as it's one of the few ones that uses Google's API, so linking my entries with social messengers like WhatsApp would finally start working again.
Sadly, the linking process went completely wrong, as my contacts linked to wrong Whatsapp ones.

I just checked again and it seems that not every linking went wrong, just the ones whose names or surnames are the same (e.g. "Sarah M" vs. "Sarah P." or "Max S." vs. "Lisa S.").

I take this as a bug.

I suppose you should add Fastlane data to translation on Weblate so that one can read app description, changelog and onther info in their language

It would be nice to have instant messaging integration (i.e. direct link to Telegram, Whatsapp, ...)

It'll be helpful for automatic sync purpose for someone who doesn't use Google contact sync etc. Implementation will be similar to export, but with one of the two options:

1. Periodic backup (user-defined frequency maybe?, with a max of 5 old backups in backup dir)
2. Backup on change (works fine, Aegis does this)

Please add screenshots of the application. I think it is only fair that users know about the interface before installing.

I'd like to add a picture to contacts. After importing the picture it should then be cropped to fit into a circle

At first I thought it was wiping the contact, but in actuality it was making duplicates

Thanks for shutting me down before I could further test my contact importing issue. Got butthurt?

Anyway, the issue does NOT begin with WhatsApp or other apps, your app already fails at importing contacts from an ordinary vcf file properly. I found out about this after opening ConnectYou and already recognizing doubled contacts in my list. So I double checked by doing the same procedure (= import a vcf file into a contact app) with another contact app and voila- no issues.

So maybe you might check inside your code again what could be the real issue here.
Btw: I'm here to help to make your app useful and great, not to destroy it.

ConnectYou right after importing the vcf file (messed up #1)

Other contact app right after importing the same vcf file (everything fine!)

The same other app after importing the vcf file to ConnectYou first, then exporting it into a new vcf file via ConnectYou and reimporting that file back into the other contact app (messed up #2)

When I click to contact in dialer, it shows me a list of all contacts, but not the contact I've clicked

As discussed on mastodon, this app can have a mode (of sort) where contacts are stored in private db and aren't exposed to other apps.

Why?
Few apps nag/force users to give contacts access which is unfortunate but can be avoided if the contacts are not available over Contacts Provider API but instead stored in a private DB in the app itself.

Currently, OpenContacts does this but the UI/UX is not great.

Pros

• Privacy

Cons

• Inconvenience since all essential apps (Call/SMS/IM...) will lose access to contacts. Although this can be mitigated with some additional features.

Additional, Nice to have features

• DialPad(T9) of some sort for dial, smart search & instant save.
• Display call logs tab
• TrueCaller like contact name popup for incoming calls.
• Integration with IMs (already requested #15)

Honestly my plan for such app to also have SMS tabs and blocklist feature as well but I understand it's already too much to ask. Anyway, take your time and thanks for all that you do.

I dont know if its because i use davx5 for contacts or because my contacts have letters like this - čěá for example, but those contacts keep showing up like this

Steps to reproduce

Events in the app are shown in the american format (MM/DD/YY) regardless of language settings.

Expected behavior

Dates should use either ISO standard YY-MM-DD, OS language format or preferably customizable format

Actual behavior

Dates are show in american format MM/DD/YY

You can sort contacts by first name or by surname, as labels say, but first one sorts contacts in a random way (I really don't understand how it works) while second one sorts contacts by family name.

Moreover, if you choose the second kind of sort and you close the app, it doesn't remember your choice so when you reopen the app it sorts contacts by first kind of sort.

I think it'll be much easier for contributors to make an issues with templates, and it'll be easier for you to view an issues

I don't know how you could implement this but I suppose it is better if you can make address clickable so that one can search it on their own favourite map app

Date events, such as birthdays and anniversary (and death, I would add it), should use DatePicker or something like that, in order to enter correct dates in a friendly way

Hey @IzzySoft,
in the last days I've been creating yet another app because I couldn't find a good open source alternative for it.
This time it's about managing your phone's contacts, which should hopefully be more useful than an automatically changing wallpaper 😉

So, it would be awesome if you could consider adding the app to your repo as well, to let some others benefit from it too.
That should be the first of my apps without any anti features as it doesn't connect to the internet and thus can't use non-free-nets :)
What's currently still missing in the fastlane structure are screenshots, I might add them sooner or later, but not for now. Adding changelogs to the fastlane structure is not planned this time.

Have a good one!

Things I noticed so far:

• Phone number & Email edit fields should have their own number/email type instead of default string type. It will open relevant keyboard view. #39
• SMS icon used is not the correct SMS icon from material icons. #39
• Add ability to select a default phone number in case there are multiple numbers present.

It'll be great if in Connect You will be support of social media contacts (e.g. telegram, whatsapp), like how it's implemented, for example, in simple contacts and LineageOS contacts

Steps to reproduce

Move contacts between device to local
Check moved contact
Move back
check again

Also try group move

Expected behavior

Fields transfer over every time

Actual behavior

Fields sometimes don't transfer and the contact is just a name without any fields

I can get this bug to happen repeatedly but I'm not sure what causes it, seems random. Maybe more common if you do group move

In Google Contacts, it is possible to choose the location where the contacts are saved.

Describe your suggested feature

Currently, the backup feature works by creating a .vcf file in a specified directory whenever you make a change to one of your contacts.

For example, if you delete a contact, the current backup is replaced with the current one which now doesn't have the deleted contact.

This, in my opinion, makes the feature more of a "perpetually exported vcf file" feature rather than a backup feature.

In the scenario above (deleting a contact), the user should have a previous backup to go back to that still has the contact(s) intact, which would currently not be the case.

Proposed solution:

If possible/easy, the way the backup function should work is that it should save a copy of the contacts every few hours (can be preset or specified by the user). Ideally, it should also allow you with the option to set the max amount of backups that the app will keep. For example, if you set that to 5, it will save a copy of your contacts every 24 hours, and after 5 days where you have 5 backups, when the next backup happens, the oldest is deleted.

Other details

At this point, when trying to specify a directory for the backup, it only shows local folders, and not locations such as Proton Drive for example. I'm unsure if this is an issue on the Proton Drive end of things or with how SAF is implemented in Connect You, but I thought I'd mention that in case, as being able to select a cloud location through the file manager to backup your contacts would be great. This actually seems to be expected behavior.

Currently we have to do functions like copy , move and delete for individual contacts one by one , but it would have been much better if we could select multiple contacts at once and perform copy, move and delete functions for all the selected items.
This would save a lot of time for someone like me who is having more than 400 contacts saved.
Thanks for making this app 👍

Describe your suggested feature

This issue is for discussing about which remaining fields that have not yet been added should be added in the future.
There are no plans to support everything possible, the plan is only to support the most important fields, due to two reasons:

1. Efforts and maintainability per field, as each field needs to be implemented for VCards, local contacts and device contacts separately
2. UX: The goal is to keep everything easy to overview and not scare users with lots of available fields when creating a new contact.

The two remaining fields which might be important coming into my mind are the Organization field, and the Website field. If anyone has other suggestions, or opinions about these two categories, feel free to share your opinion below. Thanks!

when I try to open contacts or create a new one from dialer app (e.g. lineageos phone or simple dialer), it says, what no valid contacts app found or something like that

I suppose that it would be nicer if data are shown in groups. I explain what I mean: now, there is a bubble for each data (phone home, phone work, mobile, email home, email work, ...).I suppose that it should be better to have a bubble for all phones and mobile phones (with specification), all emails, all anniversary dates, ...
