    im afraid OP will have to spend some quality time with her droid to set everything up properly. i sync facebook to get my chommies emails but nothing else. everything is integrated but i usually break the links cos sometimes it strikes me as intrusive. if u have ICS you should have onova/onavo standard for monitoring data. use that to find out which app is using the data.
    /sigh

    I will just have to bond with it I suppose.

    What mail client do you guys use? The gmail app or the email client ? I havent tried the email client so maybe that one will remember my email contacts.

    Any comments on the resize photos? If the only option is using one of my photo editor apps and then saving it and then emailing it....faaakk uuuuuu Andriod. I think i'll revert back to the Iphone once this contract is done. I just love the "just works" thing.

    Create a sms, type in the name of the person that have a number an a few email addresses. The email addresses will be shown first.

    I tried that ... On mine it shows the number first ... I also have all my contacts' numbers starting with the country code i.e. +27 ..... (for SA)

    I use chom sms now - similar to stock SMS, but with blacklisting ability. It doesn't show the e-mail addys at all when typing in a name

    Sure, switch from a Ferrari to a scooter because you can't find the window wiper switch....

    If you want to insert photos directly from the camera, it asks you for a size, 100%, 70%, 30% etc right after taking the thing, isn't that what you meant?

    using gmail. i found the other email client to be a data hog. although the everything in one view is useful i have no idea why gmail hasnt thought of this. maybe its in the ICS version.

    i must admit that i always thought it resized it when i emailed etc. i should check that i guess

    give android a shot before you condemn it.

    You can scroll on those menus, it might be further down.

    1. Sync your contacts at least. if the phone goes missing you have a backup.
    You can choose what to sync and what not to sync. You can also choose which phone books to display and don't need to display them all.

    2. You can resize photos and some versions do it automatically, learn to use the phone.

    3. What are you using data on? turn off automatic updates and such for apps.

    4. My keyboards work fine, as does the predictive text, learn to use your phone.

    It's not an Iphone and things Just work.... Differently.

    This.

    Although the gmail app can't really resize photos, I just saw. I never use it since I find it shyte anyways, been using the stock (or now TouchWiz) email app all the time, it's much more powerful and shows all your email accounts in one place. That's the one that asks to resize pictures when attaching them.

    imo having used an iphone4 and now the S3 neither is inferior to the other, OS wise. Some ppl like android for its customization and other ppl like apple that you dont need to fiddle with it. This is not a hate thread just me, expressing my frustration at some of the features on/not on android.

    I do not see this feature you speak of when taking the pic (tested). But i mean when sending a mail and then attaching the picture not necessarily a new one. In this case it was a screenshot.

    On my S2 the standard email app asks me if I want to resize the photo before I send it, with some sizing options.

    So change this in the contacts application, and allow it to only display the contacts you want. Why would you not want to sync your contacts with Gmail? It just makes your life easier...
