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?

Hi guys!
I've got a problem sending sms with my Jam:
I write the text... I tap on "send to" and I browse on my contacts... I select one of my contact's number an then I tap on send button.
It works fine and the text is sent!
Well... when I go to sms sent items I can see the text I sent but there is the N I use instead the contact's name!!!! grrrr.....
If I reply one received sms it works fine and I can see on my sent items the name of the sender....
Any idea?
i've also noticed some glitches with sms on the magician, but i dont use the send to function, i just type the first couple letters of the contacts name in the "to" area and the names with those first couple letters will come up, click on the one desired and click send.
I think the reason i'm having problems is cuz i have spb pocket plus which completely exits the messaging app, so i just minimize it instead of completely exiting it.
If you start typing the contacts name in the To: field it gives you the option to autocomplete using their mobile number and will then show their name against the message in sent items. But if you browse contacts it will just use the number against the message in sent items.
fone fanatic, once you send a message wait for the little bubble to pop up saying message sent before you close the application, otherwise it ends up sending the message twice.
hi im new to WM5, i used to have a nokia smart phone. i wanted to know how i can send sms messages to muliple mobile phones quickly. without having to continually going through my contact list and selcting each one, one at a time. thanks.
At the "To" line, type the name (or some letters) of the first person, select the contact from the list that appears, press enter, a ";" appears after the name, which means you can enter another contact after that.
Good luck with the Windows Mobile Experience!
re: send sms messages
thanks alot. by the way is there a way to set up a group of conacts. to speed things up.
easiest way is to set them in outlook
try o2smsplus
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 have another problem with my phone.
It doesn't show sms senders name. The sender IS in my contact list, but still, it doesn't show.
Some registry tweak or what?
I tried searching, but "name" and "no" are not included in the search

by default no, it works automatically, maybe you have the contacts list with spaces in the number ?!
related question:
I get an sms from a person not in my contacts list, i select to add it and set a name, but in Pocket Outlook i keep seeing just the number... is this correct? in my K800i once i add the contact in the address book i see name in sms list.
I have absolutely no spaces in numbers.
BUMP
Still need help.
Hi
i understand that on the nexus 4 and jelly bean, the "contacts" app displays every contacts, with or without phone numbers,while, on the other hand, the contacts dislayed in the "call" app, are only the ones with phone number. (same goes with sms, when entering the first letters of a contact name).
However, i have an issue that, many contacts i have, even though they have mobile numbers assigned to them, don't display in the call app or sms app...
Does this happen to you too?
Wait,
i think i figured it out.
it seems the contacts that caused this issue had no real name, even though they were displaying one in my contacts...
i'll explain. lets say i want to write a text to John Doe.
John Doe is displayed in my contacts from the contact app, but if, in messages app, i select "new" and in the "to" field, i start to write john, the name "john doe" doesn't pop.
then i go back to my contacts, click john doe, edit him, and the name field is empty... weird given android already displays this contact as john doe...
