more adventures with android....

I still have some issues with my contacts... everyone seems to be where they should be, except for my Dad. He shows up in my google contacts online, but never on the phone. I tried creating a new contact on the phone (twice!) which did update to my google contacts, but still didn't show up in the phone.

I've tried changing the name to Dad1, dad2.... still nothing. I finally created a new entry (father -- so formal!) which seems to be syncing over now. So maybe I will try renaming that contact to Dad and see what happens :)   -- update to that -- change to dad and it goes missing again!  I changed the name to My Dad -- which then merged this contact with my other Mom & Dad contact.  Not sure why Dad is an issue and Mom is not, or why there is an issue anyway!!!  Obviously something is messed up in my contacts, but I have no idea how to fix it!  It also makes it where I can't change it back to Father now *sigh*

There are 2 other contacts that aren't syncing, but I am not going through one by one to figure out which ones of the 200 aren't there!

someday I will get this working!

I may have figured out why my battery life was so bad -- seems that I had left the map application running (I don't really know how to close an app other than the back button or home button)  So I found another app that will work kinda like Windows Task Manager and let me kill things that are running.  Maybe this will help!

  1. If you press the settings button on the home screen, there should be a setting that says "Manage Apps" that has a "Running" tab.
