" â " character in contact name

[Guest dma]

I changed one letter in the name of my contacts from an "a" to an "â" (lowercase a with circumflex) and it all but killed my phone. Speed was reduced to snails pace. Using speedials locked the phone, and I was unable to change the properties of the contact. I removed the character by syncing the phone and all was OK. I tried inserting again, and the same thing happened. It seems to mess with the speed dial functions more than anything else, but the phone is so slow when I insert this single character into a contact it's unusable. Very odd.

Could someone else confirm please?

Are you sure it wasn't something else? It seems strange that something as small as that could slow your phone to that extent.

I figured this out, I can still get it to occur, but if the speed-dial for the contact is removed before the name edit takes place then this solves the speed and lockup problem. (I have done a hard reset as well).

Normally if a speed dial number / name is changed then the phone can automatically repair it, it just seems it struggles with this particular character in a name.
