Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

When I type a text message the name it puts as "to" does not match the name that I have on my contact. i.e. shows John and Jane Doe when contact just has Jane Doe. Is there some old data that should be cleared? Can I stop the auto selection?

See question above

Do you have Facebook contacts turned on? It may be at some time you got an email message from them and that is the way they have their return address set. All previously used addresses are in a cache on the phone and the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as a new device, which deletes all data from the phone. You cannot restore from a backup because the information is in that and will just be put back on the phone.
