Phone: Sony Xperia Tipo
bought in Bulgaria from MTEL
Build number 11.0.A.0.26
Andorid 4.04
Problem:
Smart dial do not work properrly. Only search in phone number filed not in Contact name field.
Is there anybody with the same problem with their Xperia Tipo?
I know i can install other Smart Dialer but i prefer that from Sony. I have SE Xperia Ray (Android 4.03) and Sony Xperia U (Android 2.3.7). On both phones Sony Smart Dial works fine.
If this is wide spread bug do you think that Sony will fix it?
I confirm the bug: unlike what is written in the st21i2 user manual (page 36)
"To make a call using smart dial:
...
Use the dialpad to enter letters or numbers that correspond to the contact you want to call .As you enter each letter or number, a list of possible matches appears
"
This "smart dial" feature (very useful and handy) was working properly on my previous Sony-Ericsson mobile phone (W995).
With XPERIA Tipo Dual, only numbers are taken into account for searching in contacts... It's clearly a malfunction...
