As much as it pains me, I think the time is right to come back to Android from my beloved Windows Phone. I've been testing a Note 5 all weekend long and I am quite impressed. I am just about "all in" with the Microsoft Ecosystem and quite surprised how well it is working. Even Cortana's abilities on Android have far exceeded what I was expecting. The performance of the Note 5 has blown me away as well. Even coming from the Lumia ICON, the Camera has impressed me.
But I do have a few questions...
I am all in with Outlook.com for my email/calendar/contacts. And I use the Outlook app and like it a lot. But when it comes to some interoperability, I am running into some kinks. I am using Hangouts for my SMS but it doesn't seem to see the Outlook.com contacts. My temporary fix was to export them into G-Mail and bam, they showed up. Can I get Hangouts to look at the Outlook contacts only? And if not, can I keep a continuous syncing with Outlook/G-Mail contacts?
Side note...I am using the Sunrise Calendar and really like it...the widget is much better than the Outlook widget.
As mentioned, Cortana on Android is far better than expected. And Cortana does show my upcoming events from my Outlook.com calendar. But if I ask her what is on my agenda, I am guessing it pulls from the system calendar and nothing is there. Anyway around this? Perhaps just part of the Cortana Beta?
Can I sync Facebook profile pictures with my contacts?
Any photo gallery app suggestions, especially ones that connect to OneDrive?
I think that is all of the questions I have right now...thanks in advance!
