Questions from newbie.. syncing/crashes/etc

[Guest pr70mob]

Hi All

Been playing with my new htc G2 from t-mobile in the last week and am loving it but I have a few questions.

First off. syncing contacts to pc. I`ve managed to get this working ok with outlook 2003.Problem is that any photos you assign on the phone get reduced down in size when synced by outlook to a resolution that looks horribly blocky on the phone screen when calling a contact. I`m wondering what everyone else does with syncing contacts. I tried windows contacts and that doesnt seem to sync photos. Should I just move them all over to gmail and use that?

Secondly, Is it normal to have android processes stop? For example "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" was coming up everytime i went into contacts until i discovered a google mail and phone contact seemed to be clashing. I`ve had over processes stop too. Usually a reboot fixes this. But getting it a few times a day. is this normal?

Thirdly, predictive text is really impressive but it seems to not function on every application. For example doing a search in the browser would be useful to have this function.

Fourthly, watching beebplayer or youtube am noticing playback is quite pixelated even when on a good wifi link. is this normal?

Ok think thats all :D

Thanks in advance for any help with these.

1. not sure, but probably one of the many limitations when using sync...

2. no this is not normal. you have a problem somewhere. when playing hardcore (like flashing several roms a day i modded myself, compiling/flashing kernel, altering applications and installing them etc.) i get a few force closes a day, only until i reach or restore a stable state. then it runs for days without FC's.

3. uhm, i don't like the predictive text, first thing that is turned off after wiping... but i can see your point.

4. i think this is normal, as i would think the quality is reduced to lower the hunger for resources. don't know though, but imo this stuff is always worse on handsets.

ok thanks. Anyone else got any suggestions.

Just to add to this i`ve found since I sorted out my contacts I`m not getting crashes any more.

The beebplayer seems to improve quality the longer you play a programme.

Still havent solved the syncing problem. Think I`ll just move everything over to google mail to solve that one.
