Dial Pad Auto-complete feature in Android 4.3 not working.

[Rikesh]

Hi! 

I've been using Xperia devices for quite a long time and I just got myself the new Z1. I've updated it to Jelly Bean 4.3 OTA using Update Centre on the phone. According to the release there is an improved Dial pad auto-complete feature but I can't seem to see it work like it used to on my previous Xperia devices. The numbers I type in only shows up names of people whose phone number have the typed in numbers. But with my previous Xperia devices I could type in '323' and get 'Dad' as suggestion. Has this feature been removed from the new update?

Hope you guys can help me find a solution to that without having to install third-party apps.

Thanks!

I would love to have a solution to that too, seeing the 4.3 update for my Xperia V has the same crippling issue. It's no longer possible to type in "letters" into the dialer and find corresponding names, and as an inferior option there is no dial auto-complete option anywhere either.
