Just a minor issue : When I select a contact to be sent as vcard but don't select whom to send it to and click send, I get a force close ....

Group's contacts calls intercepted in the booking period.
Looks great! I will try it out... seems that it is something like groups in Google Contacts or is there something really different? (except firewall!, I understand that the firewall is not possible in Google Contacts)

Thanks! Will give it a go. Looks to be pretty good already.
Perfectly executed ad placement, BTW
does it group your contacts by your google groups..?
Thanks, dewang!!!!
Edit: Slight spelling error: "Select photo form Gallery", should be "from".
Thanks!
Nice app! Since it's now in the Market, I will add it to next Monday's Last Week's Best Android Apps and Games roundup, like this one http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...-and-games-10410-101010-now-with-screenshots/
OK
Thank you for your interest.
I think I hit a bug but I can't reproduce it, so I think it only happens if you install and don't go to the options. Basically, the mass SMS option added all the phone numbers from every contact, instead of just the primary ones. When I went to the options, I saw that the default option is to actually pick the primary one and is already checked. Then I went back and tried again and this time it was fine - only the primary numbers were selected. Any idea why this may be happening? Do you not initialize your options perhaps?

Thank you for your feedback. I have found the problem, because the code and configuration files using the default settings are different. I'm adding new features. Completed immediately after the update.
Just what an android needed!!! Good job man!
I *really* like this contact manager, it has almost all of the features that I've been dreaming of having since I left the iPhone.
I have two requests:
I have contacts in my Google Contacts, and they and the groups they are in are showing up just fine. I also have an Exchange account, and those contacts are showing up as well. However, the groups from the exchange account are not showing up. Is it possible for you to add them?
I usually look people up by their last name, but can't seem to find out how to do that in the application. Is there a way to sort contacts by their last name?
Thanks!
I am having difficulty viewing a vcard received via text message. My phone recognizes it's an MMS but views it as a Multimedia file and tries to play it.
My phone (EVO) is rooted running Cyanogen 7.0.1.2 and I'm using the builtin messaging app. I don't want to use handcent or an alternative messaging app.
I have taken a screenshot of what I'm experiencing
There doesn't seem to be a solution to this..
android cant get vcard i think.
someonew please build a fix or hack for it ...
its been too long that noone could solve it
vCard
That's not true Miui can send and receive vCards and I have used other roms including those based on Cm10 that could do the same I think you need a modded mms.apk Easiest would be to use Miui.
nshedbi artistic
iam saying about vcard sent as sms (not mms)
when my friends sent vcard as sms b y their nokia,sony etc i dont even receive that sms in my mobile .
and thee no option to sent sms either ...
is there any solution for this ?
go sms
Have you tried Go sms or Handcent?
yaa i had tried both but no use
I've been searching forever for an app that will handle Vcards sent to my S3 via a Blackberry or iPhone. The MMS comes in blank on my text app (8ms messsaging) or even stock messaging app, but there's no way to view the vcard attachment.
Enter "Save MMS Attachemtns" app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.savemms
Opening it brings up a list of all of your MMS messages within your text threads. The interface isn't very advanced and I haven't played with it enough to be able to select just one MMS, but regardless...clicking save will export all MMS to a folder on your phone entitled "SaveMMS"
From there, you'll need to delete the extra extension text after ".vcf"
Now click on it to open with your vcard handler app. I use DW Dialer as it's way better than stock Google dialer. It takes 8 seconds to respond after clicking, but it will import to your contacts.
This is far from an elegant fix, but if you receive vcards for work like me, you need something that will work, no matter how involved.
If anyone has a better way, let us know but a big thanks to the dev for writing this.
Hi guys.
I've been working on vCards on Android for few years. If you wanna check my app bizCard Manager. It supports sending and receiving (importing) MMS vCards too.
But to be honest, many current davices has MMS vCards suport built in nowdays.
In times of Win mobile i used SMS Fix application, that was trying to find contact by phone number in incoming text.
I was missed it on android and so decided to develop the same app for it
Sms Name Fix is this application!
In the current version it has the following features:
1. When you receive a text message with phone number
app tries to find the contact in your phone book by this number and display the name in message's text when success.
2. When you touch phone number in any text Sms Name Fix allows you to dial or send message immediately instead of basic android behavior!
Any suggestions and comments will be very much appreciated!
You can download app from Android Market http://market.android.com/details?id=com.exi.ps.smsname
Nice, app works on my Ics rom 4.0.4
I have installed this app.
Works like a charm!
Thank you!
What future plans for app? Any cool features?
Works great, thanks!
Yes, i've just added 2 new feautres in popup dialog:
1. Save number to existing contact if app found contact
2. Save number to new contact if not
Update will coming soon
Update 1.0.3 is ready
Added 2 new feautres in popup dialog:
- Show contact card if it has been found
- Save number to contacts otherwise

Great! I missing this one! It's very useful!
App seems to be very usefull.
I dont need function to add contact name in incoming text,
but the idea to extend basic android behavior with text and allow users to quick send message to unknown number is great.
I think that you can rename your app SMS Buns оr Simple SMS or something like that and add some more useful features like sending contact details via sms or email. That will be even more usefull for usual users cos they always use native firmwares.
What about small enhancements pack for Android?)

New version 1.1.0!
I changed app name to SMS Enhancer and add new feature. Now it
allows to send contact details as simple text via SMS or EMail instead of vCard.
Hope will be useful.
Exactly what i always need! Thanks
Can you please add in share contact: sharing of postal address too and IM's.
Thank you!
Hi, his is what I miss from WM6.5 but it no more in Google plays, can you please please to put it in there again. or have you changed the name of it.
Glad to present my latest app: Corporate Contacts
I was surprised to find out that Android actually internally supports much more options, that the Contact app works with. Groups are one example - that is usually the
"Category" when syncing with MS Outlook. So, I made an app that exploits the underlying system a bit more. Check out the app, and the video below, for an introduction. Updates are to come...
NOTIFICATION: I am giving away some registration keys for the app, which unlock the full functionality, and remove the ads. Write me a message if you're interested!
Latest version: 1.5.3
https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate.free
Contacts management application, providing the essential address-book management that Android lacks.
Group SMS and e-mail sending, group editing of contacts.
See the introductory video for a demonstration of app's highlights: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFWiCEsmAy4
The free version is ad-supported and has several limitations. For the full version, without ads and limitation check: https://market.android.com/details?id=eir.corporate
Key features:
* Organize contacts in groups.
* Browse the address book by groups, organizations, positions and locations.
* Context filters by an additional criteria.
* Contextual search.
* Group SMS and E-mail sending, using templates to add a personal touch to the messages.
* Fine-grain selection of addresses and phone numbers when sending group SMS and E-mail.
* Twelve nice skins.
