Contacts won't pop up as I type them

[M Bailey]

It used to be on my old phone that one or two letters of a contact would pop the full contact name up and I could choose it. Now with Galaxy 4 I have to go to contacts and choose each one. A pain! Any help for this?

Are you referring to entering the first few letters into the Contacts/People App or another App, such as Messaging? It should start to sort the contacts by the first few letters you are entering.
