I just switched from years of being on WinMo to the BackFlip. I am very excited about having an Android phone. But, I'm having two really major issues.
First, my battery only lasts about 2 hours. If I don't use it for ANYTHING, and make sure to kill all the tasks (Using Advanced Task Killer), it goes about 3 hours before the battery is dead. And it takes about 6 hours to charge all the way. In my Jeep, which has always charged my phones just fine, it doesn't even register as charging.
So, do I have a defective battery, or do I need to look further for a solution?
My second issue is even more of a problem. I have 2,300+ contacts in Gmail. I have about 300 of those set to "My Contacts". My phone is syncing with all of my contacts. I can filter the list by groups, however "My Contacts" isn't even one of those groups. I created a new group and added everything from "My Contacts" to the new group, so I can filter by that. But, when my phone rings, it usually doesn't figure out the contact name before the caller is sent to voicemail, so I'm only shown the phone number, and not the name.
I've seen suggestions to edit the groups that are synced, either through "Contacts" or "People", but those options don't seem to apply to this phone.
So - how is everyone else dealing with this? Is there another setting somewhere that I haven't found that would allow me to only sync with "My Contacts"? Or is there an application available that might give me this option?
