Hello,

Since I've updated my phone on the latest version of android software 4.4.4 I've noticed a bug in the search engine.

If I want to find a specific contact or a specific song in the Walkman app, the phone doesn't recognize the typed letter.

If I, for instance, type the letter "b", the letter "b" will apear as it should in the search bar, but instead to find a contact or a song starting with that letter words will apear with the "a" letter. All of the oter letters, except the letter "f", are wrongly recognized.

I've tryed to restart the phone for a longer period, and to change the keybord input to another language, but nothing helped me to get rid of that problem.

Is there any way to fix this?

Btw. I've only uploaded my phone twice with the Sony PC Companion, I've never rooted the phone, nor did I play with the system in any way.

Thanks in advance for your ansvers.

Try performing a system repair as this will often fix issues after an upgrade - This will factory reset your phone

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Thanks for the fast reply.

In the meantime I've changed the phones language, and then returned it to the default.

That solved the issue with the contacts search engine (wich was my primary problem), but I'm still unable to search for songs in the Walkman app.

Since it's not a big deal for me to search for the songs and the artists manually, I'll pass the factory reset, because it's not worth the effort if I'm going to loose all apps installed on my phones memory, and the settings that need to be redone... :smileywhew:

Thank you once again.
