Help Contacts - Post Code

[Simon2008]

My first android phone, Sony Xperia Z, so a little new to the whole android OS.​

I'm using the default Contacts app on the phone and I am unable to enter British Postcodes, which have an alpha numeric format e.g. AB12 34XY.​

The Post Code field will ony allow me to enter numeric characters, no letter characters.​

I noticed there is a similar thread for the Galaxy S, but no soloution was posted.​

Is there some kind of phone regional setting I should have applied to fix this?​

Hi Simon,

Is there some kind of phone regional setting I should have applied to fix this?

Not that I can find, no. I does seem like a boo-boo by Sony in the firmware.

Tip: use Gmail (via browser) to add/update contacts. The 'postcode' field still won't be used on the handset, but at least they'll be correctly formated if/when a fix is applied.
