1. **Use Google Messages App**: As @RedDogRabbit suggested, you can bypass the dial pad and use the Google Messages app directly to send text messages.
2. **Check Dialer Settings**: Navigate to the phone dialer's settings and look for customization options for buttons or functionality. Some devices allow you to modify the default behavior of icons or buttons.
3. **Software Update**: Ensure your phone's software is up-to-date, as newer updates might include enhanced functionality or bug fixes.
4. **Third-Party Apps**: Consider installing a third-party dialer app that offers more customization options, allowing you to set preferred actions for specific buttons.
If none of these solutions work, contacting Samsung support or visiting a dedicated forum for Galaxy devices might provide more tailored help! Let me know if you'd like assistance trying one of these solutions.
