    Yeah, unless it's different from the Exchange Sync trick for iOS, it should only be syncing people in the My Contacts group, unless you've got it set up to add anyone who emails you to that group.

    Also, as I've mentioned before, you can just set it to not show the ones without phone numbers, which will cut out all the email-only contacts instantly.

    What phone?

    Also, are you caning the battery life with apps?

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    I was not using the phone when it happened.

    an SG3

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    That's weird.

    Since I updated mine to Jellybean I've gotten better battery life.

    Only problem is I've had some force closes and lock ups due to widgets in the first week or two.

    Oh and I still need to call tmo about the fact that sometimes I don't receive calls when I should.

    look at the battery page in your settings and see what is consuming the battery the most.

    It is pricey. I picked it up after getting it OKed by my boss.

    It's very GTD-centric and designed to work around that task management methodology, so if you're not planning to use it, OF won't be as relevant, but it having such solid integration with OSX and iOS means I can capture stuff into my OmniFocus inbox from damn near anywhere.

    Things has a Mac, iPhone and iPad client now and it's a very solid app in it's own right and provides some of the same GTD core concepts (Contexts, Projects, etc.) you can read about it some more on their site

    i actually bought the gtd book the other day
    so i am reading that
    because i suffer horribly with procrastination, stress, and work related anxiety
    so maybe it will help

    things also seems good

    it would be nice if more things had a web interface because i have windows at work and whatnot

    for now i am trying doit.im because it is free but it was made by chinese ppl with iffy english

    I started using Task a few days ago and I think I like it better than Things

    It's quite simple, though

    That kind of scraper would probably be frowned upon since it would add unnecessary load to the site.

    Are other people having issues with the Google play store? It won't let me buy anything

    Bit of a random one, my friend was having some issues with her iphone
    She went to use google and it said she was sending too many requests even though she hadn't used it yet, then it was telling her malicious attacks where being sent through her phone.
    Had something similar happen on the weekend to her as well, anyone have any ideas what it could be?
    I've tried searching for info but no luck so far, her phone isn't jailbroken and the closest thing I could find was people whose pc's are running malware having similar issues
    I suppose maybe if her google account is the same on her pc and her phone, and the pc's infected that could cause problems, but I haven't really got any ideas so any help would be much appreciated

    This video really hits close to home; the time I was surrounded by Android tablets with Christmas-y stuff on them really changed my life.

  • T4CTT4CT BAFTA-NOMINATED NAFTA-APPROVEDRegistered User regular
    It happened

    I bought an iPad mini

    I could not tell you why but I la la love it

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    The ipad mini feels so great. The build quality is phenomenal and it's just a joy to use.

    But I still think it's 130 dollars too expensive, especially for the lack of a retina display. Apple would have justification to charge that much more than every other 7" tablet if it had the retina, but right now? Nah. Feeling better in my hands isn't a $130 feature, for me.

    That having been said

    I am playing baldurs gate at work on something the size of a paperback novel

    One thing I really hate in Baldur's Gate on the iPad is that there's no way to see transition zones (doors/stairs/etc), so you just have to guess where it is and tap away until you hit it. With a mouse you could just move the cursor around until the icon changes. This is especially bad for things like houses facing a direction where you can't even see the entrance. I'm hoping there's not many hidden doors in the game

    so, uh, Radioshack was selling the iPhone 5 16GB for 149.99, and offering cash back for trade-ins (4 or 4S). one of my mom's coworkers was working there part-time to make some extra Christmas cash, and was able to get us an employee discount, so I just upgraded to an iPhone 5, paid nothing and actually got $4 back.

    having used LTE now, I don't think I could ever go back.

    Lack of LTE might get me to switch away from T-mobile and their "4G" stuff when my contract is up.

    I mean HSPA+ is pretty fast and all, but maybe I just want really fast downloads instead of really fast downloads
