Just flashed ICS and have contacts problem

[F350-6]

Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm having some problems. I followed the directions in the above section to flash the BAMF ICS. That all seemed to work, but I cannot make my contacts display correctly again. I use Deja Office to sync my contacts and calendar between outlook and the phone, that all worked fine, but I use Go Contacts and dialer. Go contacts used to display all the contacts by company name, then individual name.

Since the update, I cannot get my deja contacts to sync with the phone. They are all there under the deja contacts app, but I cannot see them from the default people app or go contacts. I don't use google contacts because it simply lists people by name and I need to see the company name.

I also notice my screen doesn't seem as bright as it used to be. I have auto turned off and brightness maxed out. Is this some sort of energy saving option?

I've also read about radios, but haven't messed with that yet. Do I need to flash a new radio? How do I know which one?

flashed 3 days ago, so far no issue detected, everything works great. i don't think you need a new radio. One big improvement i have seen is the boot up speed, much faster now.

I haven't used Deja Contacts or Go Contacts, so it's tough to say, but it seems like it's an ICS issue. It might just be the way the apps interact with ICS, or it could be that they made changes to the apps for the ICS version. I'd contact the developers and ask them about it.

I haven't noticed any difference with the brightness of my screen, once I took it off of Auto. Wish I could help there.

What radios are you currently using? Go to About Phone, Software, Baseband Version to find out. For the new ICS leak ROMs, your best bet is to go with the radios from the .19 OTA: 1.49.00.0406w_1, 0.01.79.0331w_1. Most people report that if you're using the older radios from the .9 OTA or before, turning on bluetooth will send you into a bootloop. And I can confirm that it does exactly that to my phone.

Seems even more laggy than the stock ROM to me, but I do like being able to add my own apps to the bar below the screens. Not sure I like the drag up to answer the phone, but I'm frustrated with it right now. Maybe I'll get used to it in a couple of days.

I'm starting to think that may be the case. The more I play with it, the more it seems that Deja Contacts is not syncing with whatever it's supposed to sync with inside the phone. The contacts are there in the Deja app, but I can't access them from any other app.

I have never updated or changed my radio, but it does show 1.49.00.0406w_1,0.01.79.0331w_1. I guess that means I'm good here?

Yep, your radios are up to date.

I finally got it to work. All it took was selecting wipe android contacts on the sync options of companionlink (deja office) and everything began to magically work again.

Still getting used to this ICS layout. There almost seems to be a 2 second delay every time I push a button. Almost like it's mad at me and has to count to two before it responds.

I get that from time to time.. there maybe a program starting up in the background.
