Pennytel App - All contacts are not synced.

[Arby]

Hello,

I want to start my post with a big thanks to the creator of this
application. You are a hero! I have followed your thread in whirlpool,
and really appreciate your efforts to get everyone's feedback to turn
this into everyone's application.

I had a HTC Desire, and now a Samsung Galaxy S. Web-SMS works
perfectly for me. The issue I have is with PennyTel SmartDial Sync. It
doesn't sync all of my contacts with PennyTel.com.

This is what happens -
1) Go to PennyTel.com->Smart Dial. Select All and Remove already added
SmartDials.
2) Open PennyTel Application on phone.
3) Press "Check API Version". Output: Correct API Version
4) Press "Sync SmartDial". Final Output: SmartDial Synced

The issue is: I have 130 contacts in my contact list, but only around
50 are synced with PennyTel. The remaining are just not synced how
many times I try.

Am I doing anything wrong? I will really appreciate your guidance
here.

Cheers!

Arby,

I am not sure what is going on here but maybe check that all your 130 contacts have phone numbers.  I know a few of mine only have email addresses.  The app will create a smartdial for each phone number it finds in your contact list so if a contact has 2 numbers it creates 2 smartdials and if it has no phone numbers it creates no smartdials. If that is not the case let me know and we will have to try to come up with a way of working out what is going on.

I've never used that functionality as I only use it to send SMS but
the app has problems in its phone number handling, perhaps causing
your issue.

In my case replacing spaces with "-" solved the issue, perhaps look at
how the phone numbers are formatted in your syncing and non-syncing
contacts.

Bye,

It is true that the pennytel API may not like numbers with special characters in it.  my app passes them through as it without modification.  In the future i may change that but i am currently having issues trying to upgrade to new pennytel API's
