Relative Rookie...Few Questions re: blank screen & contacts

[eric0668]

A few questions.



1. This Vibrant is FANTASTIC but IT SUCKS. Ya known? It keeps doing nothing, then going blank, then coming back, then while waiting it comes back doing that vibrate thing in your hand. LOL I have to turn it off occasionally when it turns blank.



What is causing this. Could it be me using a Taskiller??



2. What is up with contacts?



a) how do most people use it? Just use google , say 'f' the phone and the ringtones. That would be easy. Cause if you use both, then once u have alll the google, then u copy to the phone, then what do you do with a new one? put in google first OR put on the phone first. Then u are left with all these linked numbers all the place



b) JUST TODAY I am getting names like Joe Smith/m 410-486-5160 Never saw that before. And it's not his "mobile" and its not saying mobile is the main number because I have only used that feature once??



Lastly

c) What is the quickest way to delete all contacts from your phone?? I have a backup to resync when clean. but how do I remove them all??



Thanks so much

Eric

Can you give a list of the third party software you have running? I don't have any of these problems but I don't use a task killer. The only time I had something similar was when I loaded a few gigs of media and the media scanner was running while I was trying to do other things.

That sounds seriously messed up. Do you have any third part SMS, dialers, or email programs that touch your contacts? I had serious contact problems due to a third-party dialer that wasn't updated for the Vibrant yet. -Pk

The answer to your second part is I dont' know what happened. Neither did two people in another forum. that is with the contact with the "m" at the end. As far as all the other contacts, with 4 links etc...a mess. they say that is because i am using more than google contacts. they say they would NOT use the SIM or Phone.

Since I wanted to use individ ringtones and they need to be on the phone to do it the official way, it involved a lot of exporting and then reimporting. They say use Google only and then use an app, I believe it is Ringdroid, is that correct, to yourself or anyone reading. Is that the best

The first part, with all my jamming up, black screens, heptic vibrating... They suggest, first try taking off the TAskiller.
