Does anyone know if it's possible to use the alphabetic contacts slider for selecting text message recipients?
thats called random access, and as far as i know, no.

When I use Outlook to send a text message, I use to be able to start typing someones name in the "to" field and it would suggest peoples names. Now it stopped doing that. I know I can tap the "to" button to pull up contacts, but that means I have to take my stylus out.
Anyone know how to fix it?
I'm currently having my contact list be somewhat unaccessible. My contacts are there, if someone calls they show up, if I go to call history everyone is there with names and numbers. However if I enter 'Contacts' directly the "Contact" tile bar flashes then disappears. I cannot ADD contact I cannot send a text message by searching contacts. I have also added PocketCM to see if that would change the issue, however it behaves the exact same way. A flash of PocketCM then nothing. I have backups .pims and all nothing seems to work properly anymore.
Any ideas?

What ROM you using?
What 3rd party apps do you have loaded?
Why did you take the role in Gladiator?
You know, the basics.
When I create an sms message
=> Messaging, New message
I wish to access my address/contact list so I can add my contact, without typing a number or such, is this possible? or am I doing it wrong?
I think it's not possible in the stock messaging app.
You can select your contact first and invoke messaging from there, though.
Try handcent sms (free from market). It has replaced the stock app on my Nexus (and Hero before) since day one.....

When using the stock messaging I start typing the name of the contact and it shows. I guess I'm not understand your question. Or just access the contact first then select to send the message. Handset is a good replace in the fact of the options to customize far more that the stock.

I noticed I just get facebook contacts listed, but not sim contacts... Why on earth would they not enable that?
Shouldn't there be a contact drop down in the "TO:" line when composing an SMS - I don't see one and I'm accustomed to it being there.
This also takes up the character count in the SMS field, same behavior is exhibbted in all message applications, i.e. outlook, windows live.
It seems that auto suggestion is disabled by XT9 - although turning off XT9 by turning off predictive text in settings does not correct this - thoughts?
This wouldnt help your situation. But i remember composing emails and that dam contact list would come up. It was so hard getting to the actualy subject line because if i would click down it would think im trying to select a contact on the contact list. Im happen it was dropped
When I begin typing a name in this field, I do have a drop down list of contacts...
I am not using T9.
You can still type your contact's name directly from the homescreen, and then select "sms" by rolling the trackball left-right.

i have the same problem.
When composing a new sms or email on my other wm5 ppc, typing the first few characters of a contact's name would call up a list but this just doesn't happen in my htc snap.
anyone have a solution?
in an sms message, potential phone numbers are underlined. and tapping on it will give you the option to call these numbers. however, this option is not present for numbers located inside contacts or calendar entries.
is there a program that can do this?
