Is how I need to put in the area code before it will bring up contacts. Is there a way to auto populate the area code so I don't always have to???

You could just type their name?

The main thing that bothers me with the phone app is that you can't set which tab it opens when you open the app. I like going to my contact list first bc it has my favorites up top.

I could....but typing a persons name on the dialpad isn't exactly easy in a pinch.

For me its easier than typing their number because I don't have anyone's phone numbers memorized anymore. Lulz.

True. I guess I just got so used to AOSP on the Rezound, going back to sense is just weird. I would love to run Infection or Tron on this phone!

Agreed about aosp. I've been running that and I'm used to it.
Guess I can always use a different dialer app.

After using the S4 for a bit. This dialer/contacts/people app is a godsend!
I installed exdialer and its pretty cool. I like the stock phone app but just hate having the always type the area code in before it will recommend contacts.

Don't you always dial area code anyways? Been that way for about 15 years for me lol. Then again I do suppose each area of the country is different.

On the aosp dialer and even the s4 dialer you can start to key in the phone number and matching contacts pull up.

Maybe your dialer is messed up then. Mine starts pulling contacts while typing in number. Or maybe I'm just not understanding.

The thing that bothers me is when I start typing in a contact's name or number, it only gives me one contact at a time at the top of the list, with a little box to the left of the input area with the rest of the matches.
Coming from the HTC Incredible, it used to show multiple suggestions at the top of the list.
I played with a ONE in Costco a couple days before I received mine in the mail and it had multiple contacts (though none had pics) up top.
Anyone know how to configure it that way? I've been trying to figure it out
I installed exdialer and its sweet!!

I just purchased my SII and while I love everything about it I'm not liking the keyboard to much. I've come from the Moment with slide keyboard so it was no problem when replying to messages and being able to read what I was replying to. With the SII when I replay in landscape the keyboard fills most the screen and the text box takes care of the rest. I would have thought you could slide the text box down to read the message but it's not doing that. Any suggestions or different keyboards to try that would allow me to see the message I'm replying to while typing?

You can try BetterKeyboard from off the Amazon Market. It was initially up on the normal android market. It costs like three bucks but its well worth it. Its very very feature rich and its the only one that, off the top of my head, has the ability to not show a text box in landscape and just show a keyboard for input. It warns against only working on large screens like tablets, but I've rarely ever had it cause issues for me on this phone.

I would like to see the text box but also have the ability to slide the box down to quickly read the message then finish typing my reply. Maybe it's a different sms app I need? I'm also not a big fan of the little comic book chat boxes. I'd like to see the message fill the entire screen left to right when in landscape.

Oh I'm sorry man, I thought were asking for something entirely different. H'm... hold on moment.
**Edit**
I'm still not entirely sure if this is what you're looking for for.. but as for messages not coming up full screen so to speak and being stuck inside little bubbles, you can use Handcent SMS (my preference) though GOSMS or ChompSMS might do the same thing. I can completely customize my interface so that it looks however I want it. Down to the font and font color of each individual thread, the bubble style of each individual thread, the background image for each thread, etc etc etc. Its neat. Two screenies for you. One with bubbles in landscape. One without.

Is there any way to customize the keyboard? As in make a wider space bar? I keep hitting the . button instead of the space button
Here are the screenies.
**EDIT** Sorry they aren't hi-res. It wont let me upload hi-res pics from my phone using the premium app. Idk why

Swiftkey X
I love Swiftkey X. It has the best word completion. My 2 cents
Agreed, SwiftKey X is what I use. I like it better than the Samsung, ICS, and swype.

I use thumb keyboard
I have started using Perfect Keyboard as I love how it does the macro text replacement kind of like the blackberry's and windows mobile keyboards used to. I can just type br and it will expand it to whatever I want (currently my email address) . I also like the split screen in landscape mode that give you a number pad between the split.
The developer is a member here at XDA.
I do like swyping, does anyone know if the newer versions have customized text replacement or macros? The version of swype that came pre-installed doesn't.

Predictive text and autocorrect isn't working on the tmobile galaxy s. i get the predictive text list but i have to manually select the best match. It works differently on htc and misspelt words are not indicated or corrected. can anyone confirm this?

I get the predictive text list but it does not auto select the best match. I have to select the match. That's how I think it is suppose to work Iike it does on htc phones. On htc all i have to do is press the spacebar and it completes the word. Also there is no autocorrect happening. Misspelt words are not underlined or corrected.

Well that sucks. I hope they can fix this. Is there a way to return to the previous build? My phone came already updated. I had a Samsung phone with sprint 2 years ago and swore I would never buy Samsung again after so many software bugs and delayed upgrades but decided to take a chance. Already regretting it.

I have the exact same problem and my phone also came updated. Try SwiftKey its so much better!!! Haven't looked back ever since I installed it and I think the trial lasts 30 days. In SwiftKey settings let it learn from ur texts it doesn't send any data but just analyzes it to help prediction

I use Dragon now and it suits me. When I get a text, the dragon window comes up and I can tap the mic to dictate my message back and hit respond. You can type it in too if you need to. There's an option to have the sms be read out in car mode as well.
I played with the first gen S Voice when it came out. It worked for the most part besides the settings at first, but I personally hate it when an app limits me from doing something as simple as going into the settings lol.
I keep getting the error no network connection.

Finally got the wife to move over from the dark side, iPhone, to Android! It's the little things in life... Anyways, of course she wants it all pretty like the iPhone, so I've been trying to help her customize it pretty good. In the stock messaging app, you can change the theme. But, is there any way to change the color of the bar at the very top that says "Messages"? It stays blue!

Thanks for the responses. Now we're having issues with the TV app. I was able to set mine up just fine. On hers, when she get to the screen where it asks for your favorite TV shows, then hits next, we get an error message... Something about not being able to retrieve the data from the server.. I've tried everything.. uninstalling the update, which just updates when you open the app, clearing the app data/cache, etc. Any ideas on this one?
