Droid: Address Bar in Text

When I try to text with the Droid I go to: "Messaging" then "New Message", then when I tap "To" i have to type in the entire phone # cause nothing comes up from my contacts. Is there something wrong with it or the way I am doing it? The only other way is for me to go to contacts and tap messaging and go from there. If I get a text and type a reply it gets sent to others in my contacts and not to the person it should.

i too come across the same problem that you described in the first part of you post.

 

i usually go the the messaging thread (assuming i have messaged them before) and continue the thread without having to go to the contacts.

 

or if i have not messaged them before then yes i do go to the contacts.

 

if it is someone you message alot then you can make that person a short cut for messaging.

 

as for the messages going to someone else, i have no idea. sorry

After you select to "To:", if you start typing the persons name a list will pop-up and start narrowing down as you type additional letters.  Or at least it should.  Obviously, the person has to be in your "Contacts" list for this to happen.

Maybe it is a setuo issue:

 

got to > Settings > Language & Keyboard

 

open Android Keyboard Onscreen Keyboard settings (or device Keyboard)

 

check your settings
