Re: samsung galaxy s4 doesn't find contacts when i create a text message

Restarting my phone worked too! I was getting soooo frustrated with this issue but now it's gone :) Another problem I noticed is that if you use swipe and try to backspace at all, it will eliminate the entire word. For example, if you were trying to swipe the word "hey" but accidentally came up with "her," if you wanted to just backspace and type the letter "y" to replace the "r," it will delete the entire word and you have to start over. Some people might like this, but I find it especially annoying if you are typing a word that doesn't necessarily exist but need to use half of an existing word. Like say I wrote "damn" but wanted to make the new word "dammit," the new update will delete the whole word instead of letting me take out the "n" and add "mit." Kind of small, but for someone like me who is quick on swiping, it's a pain to start over and over again. I wish it were optional, if anyone has any suggestions let me know!

That's one of the things I welcomed!
The Google kb had it from a while back. So I stop using the Samsung kb and only used Google.

Now I'm back on using the stock kb.
Just chose the option for the keyboard to save/remember the words you type.
That's how I do it, and next time I swipe those words, voil?! No problem!

Yep! Same issue for all Galaxy S4 Users I would assume. I just updated mine and have the exact same issue. :(:'(

I updated to 4.3 and noticed when I create a new sms or mms with stock app, I can't search names correctly. For instance if I want John Doe... typing J will give me all names, including john doe. If I type joh... everything disappears.

Re: samsung galaxy s4 doesn't find contacts when i create a text message

Since I updated my phone yesterday...When I go to create a text message and enter the recipient it is not finding anyone. There is a few names/e-mails that pop up but not the ones im looking for. My address book is still the same and it is people I regularly message. Help please, really frustrating

Could you or a mod move this thread to 4.3 if possible?

Many problems is in Samsung galaxy s4. I think its a software fault and there is only one option that reset your phone with data. Thanks.

Yes, restarting device works how simple. Since most of us never let our phones die we wouldn't know that. Thank you

Welcome to the forums!
Glad to hear you worked it out. 👍

Welcome to AC!

Like any other device, the GS4 has some problems.
We either find a fix or just exchange them.
