Z2 Contact & Messaging keep crashing

[JonathanG]

Very odd one...

Today suddenly both Messaging and Contacts became virtually unuseable.  Both kept crashing and the device was getting through it battery really fast and getting hot.  I tried to figure out what was wrong however as i had not installed any apps for a few days i could not see any reason for this sudden change.

I defaulted the device and started again, I have just got everying back and its started again.

When opening Messaging it wil be really slow - when typing the message its slow and you have to wait for the text to catch up.

When you go to dial a number it trys to query the number you are dialling against contacts - it keeps crashing and closing Contacts.

If you turn off WiFi and mobile data it seems to be better but still crashes from time to time.

I have selected to sync my contacts from Facebook and Exchange email however currently my contacts are empty.  Despite this i recieved an SMS from a Facebook contact and it displays their name in Messaging - but they are not there in contacts...

With Wifi truned on the device seems to be getting really hot.

Its all really odd and i am totally stumpped.

Please help!

I'm having the same challenge with sony xperia z2 D6503 after upgrading to build 23.4.A.1.264 it crashes and hangs a lot when using the Contact, dialer or messaging apps.

Phone had been ok till the last update which seems to have made things worse.

where is tha part where Sony gives back feedback , i thought that this forum is for that. we need a definate solution on the crashes, not speculations!

It's rediculous these forums ! I only see complaints, but no solutions from manufacturer in any place ! 

Always the same a forum means: We are a company that gives for service, we do not provide customer service and write what you want, we won't solve it for you ! 

Only one way......we have to get rid of all multinationals delivering consumer products !
