Adding text message recipients by typing name instead of number
 

In wm5 I could text anyone in my contacts list by typing any letters of their name, similar to the smart dialer, in the TO: bar. Is there any way to turn this function back on?

That's weird. I do that now on my Mogul. When I go to send a text, I go to messaging, select "new" and in the "To:" field, I just start typing the name and it immediately shows you the contacts that begin with that string.

mine shows with that string of letters anywhere in the name, if i were to send to someone named brian, i can type ian, and it will show Brian or Ian or Dorian or whoever else has the ian in their name.

yeah, My old phone did that two. This one just stays blank. Well know I know it's probably a rom problem

gotta make sure all your numbers are stored as 'mobile' .. if you keep your contacts as work/home numbers, they won't show up for txting... that may be why they won't show..

my phone used to show the names when i began typing any part of name also but doesnt. i checked to make sure numbers where mobile but still didnt work.

i was just messing around with my phone and if u type in the person name then click on menu n check names it will auto fill in the person number. mine used to just show names when i starting typing them but i guess this is faster than going to add reciep

mines works sumtimes
