Samsung galaxy 5 will not exit 'delete contacts' mode.

[Android Central Question]

I go into contacts to send a message and it goes straight to the delete contacts option

Welcome to Android Central! Do you mean that you're opening the Contacts app, selecting a contact with the intention of tapping the Text icon, but it goes to the Delete screen before you can do anything? Does the contact screen have a Delete button on it, or is the Delete option in the menu? If the screen has a Delete button, then perhaps there's a phantom touch occurring there. Do you have a screen protector on?
