i've flashed mine about 10 times already since yesterday... finally settled for androidmeda WITHOUT the surgeon script

hey guys, some quick questions...

how do u manage your contacts? last time with my previous phones when i sync facebook contacts, it automatically puts photos on my contacts... now it does it for only certain contacts (my guess is those who have matching names, numbers or emails) but for the rest, i have to manually 'join contact' and include the facebook one... very annoying! and what the heck is all these merge/separate/join contacts... too complicated!

2nd question... all of a sudden my FB notification stopped working... i think it happened after flashing new ROM but i don't think it should affect anything... clean wipe, flash, and then install facebook but still it's like that... any idea?

3rd question... after 15 hours, my battery is at 30% with display turned on for 3.5 hours. LOTS of whatsapping and messaging during that 3 hours... is that good battery life?

Any help guys?

so... how about helping a poor brother out here?

hey thanks for the reply. the thing is i like photos in my contacts, and FB sync is one way of putting those photos in place. but i don't get why samsung has this weird way of managing contacts. unless no one actually cares, and just sticks with google contacts (like what i'm doing now)

ok after testing Androidmeda out for a day, i'm in love with the battery life on this ROM!

I'm running on Androidmeda, with no Surgeon script, on stock theme.

No UC or UV, nothing at all.

Sync is on, 3G off coz my housing area has poor 3G signal, Wifi On, notifications on for facebook, whatsapp, etc.

here is some screenshots of my battery life...



more than 4 hours screen on, which was basically used for heavy whatsapping and some surfing, installing some apps, and some voice calls too.

I'm pretty happy with it considering it's the first full charge i've had on this ROM, possibly will get better after a few cycles!

so what do u think guys?

this is better, faster, and very very good... using the Pro version coz i got it for free during their free app of the day promo on amazon app store some time back

i'm a sucker for free apps. was using my ZTE Blade at that time, just download and store in my account on amazon so that when it isn't free anymore, at least i can still download it for free

i confess... i'm an app junkie. I've tons of apps on my ipad and iphone!

Androidmeda ROM. fantastic battery life and performance... i've never had any drop or lag so far

only if u want the ROM without bloatware and some extra things like DSP manager, and also to run in 192dpi, then u flash the surgeon script. OR if u want all those things without the DPi change, flash back to stock dpi (link at bottom of the page)

I'm not using the script, still with my stock tw launcher.

getting about 1 day 8 hours use so far with 3 hours screen time. haven't finished one charge cycle with latest kernel, so i'll report back again later.

can collect points using CC ma that's why i bought from SenQ, 1899 i can use my Amex and collect 5x points, somemore weekend, 5% cash back so i utilize my RM50 cashback instantly!

hey guys, any of u ever take gps tagged photos? was on holiday recently, but none of my photos were tagged... turned on GPS, no AGPS of course since i was roaming and didn't wanna incur charges. i couldn't check whether it was tagged or not coz the gallery doesn't have a places function (like the iphone, which has places in its photo stream). so today i uploaded to my PC and damn! they weren't tagged! never had a problem with my wife's iphone 4 though... hmm

i usualy practise a strict FULL WIPE whenever I flash a ROM, just backup with Titanium Backup before you wipe, and then restore. but WITHOUT system data. just apps.
