My hero's been running the fresh rom flawlessly for the past few months. The battery had been fine, been averaging 30 hours on a full charge or so.
I left my phone off the the charger last night and would still usually find it to be 40-50%.
However, I was was surprised to find the battery completely drained. No big deal I think, but then I get a low memory warning. Fine I say, so i delete a bunch of unused apps.
While uninstalling apps, I updated a few including a few storm8 games (no issue with them), and the infamous new facebook update (1.3.1, i guess this was the update to fix battery drain issues, I had the new update installed previously). So I try to compose a message using handcent, and the phone refuses to open contacts, nor display or search contacts while I'm typing. So i try the stock messaging app and the same problem. I try opening contacts through the regular people tab, and the phone takes about 2-3 minutes just to open it. On further inspection I noticed that each facebook contact had multiple entries linked, not the usual 2-3 but about 10-15 per person.
So i tried to change views to possibly eliminate all those duplicates, and here's something interesting:
com.facebook.auth.login:- 19939
google contacts :- 450
Phone contacts:- 72
Facebook:-335
At first I thought my google contacts were syncing repeatedly, but it turns out the facebook contacts were the one to blame.
Any suggestions or workarounds? I hope I don't have to reset because of this
Update2: I've decided to delete the duplicates manually, the stock app takes too long, so I downloaded the app contact remover.
Update3: Big Fail, contact remover only let me delete the duplicates that werent linked to gmail contacts. The ones that were linked didnt show up. Refer to post #5 in this thread for how i resolved this
