Google Search Freezes After 2.2 Upgrade

[DarenRogers]

Since the OTA update, when I press the search key and start typing a search phrase, Search will lock up after the second word. I have to hit the Home key and then the Search key again for it to respond, then I can retype the phrase with no hang ups. Anyone else have this issue, any info on the issue, and/or a fix?

This is a system error in the phone. Once you perform a factory reset it should resolve the problem. The steps are listed below:

1. Hold Home Button and press power (continue to hold until you see the triangle with an asterisk like in step 2)

2. Screen will show a Android with a triangle with asterisk

3. Let Go of Home Button and Power

4. Press Search Button (Far Right Button)

5. A blue menu will show at top of page, scroll to Format Device

6. Select Yes to verify

7. Allow format to complete (Information at bottom of page will go through a few steps)

8. Once Format is complete Blue Menu will show at top again, select Reboot

9. Sometimes phone hangs after reboot and will take a while but if no response after 5 - 10 minutes, pull the battery and reinsert. (Device usually starts fine after this)

I have this as well, I have found if i wait a few moments though, it will come back with no need to exit out of search.
