Gmail Contact Formatter || 2/14/2011

mmoorman12 · Nov 18, 2010

Several of the Froyo Roms that I've used had an issue that wouldn't allow me to send MMS if the phone number had parenthesis in the format. I saw several people posting that they didn't want to have to edit each contact in Gmail to remove the parentheses, so I created the application.

This application will format all of your phone numbers in your Gmail account based on your desired format.

Available Formats:
Numbers Only
Ten Digit Number
Ten Digit Number With Parenthesis
One Plus Number
One Plus Number With Parenthesis
One Plus Number With Parenthesis And Plus Sign
Three Plus 8 With Parenthesis
Latvia Format
(other formats could be added if needed)

~~This is a windows application that requires .Net 4.0 as a prerequisite.~~ Gmail doesn't really have any way to modify your contacts in bulk, so I have also been thinking about doing some other things to help keep your contacts organized. If you have any ideas, let me know and I'll try to integrate those enhancements as well.

This application has been moved to the android market.

Very nice... it would be really good if you could add a few more standard formats or even the source code. I personally like to us:

(###) ###-####

and all my contacts are not formated that way. Also I noticed that your Ten Digit Number actually converts it to 1 + Ten digit number format.

Thanks for the app... it is at least a starting point.

Hummm actually it seems to be giving me time outs and not working.

oh well. Thanks again for the effort.

I have added a couple other formats with parenthesis. Let me know if you need others.

As for the issue you reported...
Ten Digit Number actually converts it to 1 + Ten digit number format
I cannot reproduce this, so if you have anymore details, please let me know.

The error is from Google's web service. There should be a log file in the directory where the application resides. Can you look there for some more details related to the error? Also, are you behind a proxy server? That is something I haven't had the oportunity to test.

There is no installation required. You just need to extract the zip file to a directory and you should have the following files in the directory.

GmailContactFormatter.exe
Google.GData.Client.dll
Google.GData.Contacts.dll
Google.GData.Extensions.dll
Google.GData.GoogleBase.dll

Just run the exe and the application should launch. Enter you Gmail credentials and select the format you wish to have. Then click on Update. At this point, a Log.txt file should be created and an Error.txt will be created if there were any errors. Both of these files should be created in the same directory.

Thanks for the application. I was able to change my contacts to ten digit numbers sucessfully but I can't do numbers only. It goes through all my contacts but it doesn't say its saving changes. Any ideas?

Edit: error log

I found the problem and a fix has been posted.

thejaredhuang · Jan 24, 2011

Thanks for the update but I'm still having the same problem. It doesn't seem to print a log out either when I'm doing numbers only.

I think there was a problem while uploading 1.0.0.4. Please try to download it again. This problem does not exist in my environment anymore.

thejaredhuang · Jan 25, 2011

Works great thanks!

mmoorman12 · Jan 26, 2011

Added a birthdate formatter to correct the birthdates on contacts which have 0001 as the year. It will change these contacts to Month/Day rather than Year/Month/Day.

Example for January 26
0001-01-26 will change to 01-26

WoW... Thanks, I think I am having some firewall issues at work so I will have to try this at home later. Thanks for your hard work.

Thanks

Thank you for this program, it works great, but why is it modifying system certificates before it runs?

I'm not really sure why you are seeing anything related to a certificate. I am not doing anything with certificates.
