Hey guys I am really trying to figure this out. So I go into Messaging and I'd like to type in the "to" field a contacts name, like facebook does it and it starts to list matches and then you just pick the one you want. Like it searches your contacts, but I can't figure out how to do this.


Like I can only type in a number but I don't have anyones number memorized that's the point of having a saved phone book so am I missing something here?
 
I can't do that because all my contacts are on my phone not gmail, and there is no way to get them on my gmail account that I can figure out.

Syncing only takes my empty gmail contacts and erases everything on my phone.
Contacts>menu>export to SD card. View the export onto your PC and see what file type it is. and Try to edit them again

I dont have a Droid til tonight so this is just a guess.

Edit: haha vzwguy just keeps getting his post in before me
