Using latest FF on my 8010.
I cannot enter text in boxes e.g if I try to use ff to enter text in user name and password boxes nothing appears in the boxes!
Any ideas?
Is this on all sites or just one particular site? If it on just one, there is probably an issue with the layout of that site, have you tried desktop mode or switching the ua?
I usually stick with the stock browser because I don't have any issues with it. Also, you can try hackers keyboard on the market, in the setting you can set a persistent notification to call the keyboard up whenever. This can help if you need to type text but the organic keyboard doesn't want to stay up. I've had this problem with some flash inputs in the past and hackers keyboard was perfect for this application.

Liking the phone so far, except gesture typing with the android keyboard will not work. I have enabled this in the android keyboard settings, and even tried restarting the phone, with no success. Is this a known issue? Anyone having the same problem?

I have no issue with the app. What is you problem? Is it that when you go to type the regular keyboard is showing? If so hit the globe icon next to the space bar. That will either auto switch to Google Handwriting Input or give you a menu to with the option to choose Google Handwriting Input. If that isn't your problem then please tell us what specific issue you're having.

Sorry, I was not too specific. In the messaging app, or search widget, or any time when the android keyboard pops up, I am unable to use swipe to input text, that is, inputting a word by sliding through the letters. This is in spite of gesture typing being enabled in android keyboard settings. Settings/Language and Input/Android Keyboard/Gesture Typing
Thanks

Oh OK. Yeah it's a known issue. Install the Google Keyboard from the play store. That one works fine.
So I don't know if this is a feature or a bug but I saw that whenever i had the keyboard open i would get a "Select input keyboard" notification (you can see it in the first image). When i open the notifications i get the dialog in the second picture.
So i went straight on disabling all the other keyboards: i disabled Swype and Google app (because of Google Vocal Typing or something like that) from the apps settings so the AOSP keyboard is the only one left (see third image) but again no luck, the notification is still there. I also tried replacing the AOSP keyboard with Google keyboard and ensuring that it was the only one active but it still didn't work. Is this standard Android behavior? Or possibly an Alcatel bug? A bug in my software? That thing is annoying as hell.

I get that dialog when I press a small button to the right of the nav bar (it only appears when the keyboard pops up). Did you try to longpress the notification and then press the "i" symbol, then disable notifications from that source?
I always get that dialog, even with only one keyboard app installed/enabled, so that's not normal.
By the way, i tried disabling the notification but since it comes from Android System itself it cannot be disabled but only set to priority mode.
It drove me crazy for a bit cause I'm a little OCD with my screen, but I just ignore it now.
My partner's S6 has recently received the update to 7 from 6, and she dislikes the whole new style of the Samsung interface and the way the phone behaves.
I believe that most of this can be overcome, but the thing that seems to be bugging her the most is the keyboard change on the Internet browser.
All of the other keyboard on the phone show the "predictive text" bar, and when you press the "period / comma" button is allows you to choose your punctuation for that instance.
HOWEVER, on her phone, there is no predictive text bar, and pressing to add punctuation changes the function of that button to the punctuation you used.
I cannot for the life of me find a way of changing the behaviour or restoring the predictive text bar, and while "install a new keyboard" might see like a viable option, the question still stands of why did they change it!?
I have friends with the S7 and S8 phones that don't have these issues, so I am thinking it is something to the Samsung / EE rom that was installed on her UK phone, or a setting somewhere that I am missing.
Any help is appreciated.
Ive noticed that in some programs, such as Instagram and YouTube (when trying to comment on a video) , when clicking on the text input field, the keyboard obstructs the text input box, preventing you from seeing what you are typing. This has been presents for me since The move to Android 10. Anyone have this problem and know a fix?
I used to have basically four text input methods on my watch (4 icons): "Draw letters", keyboard , "voice to text" and emoji . Now it has all changed: for options I get "message" (within this message options are : emojis, gboard, (numbers), the mike icon meaning speach to text, voice message forwarding (as voice messge). Is it normal or just accidentally spoiled my settings? Thank you for answering!
Think it maybe you changed the input to Gboard from the Samsung keyboard. Try changing it back to the Samsung keyboard and see if that changes your selections back.

Thank you for your answer. Actually, I did not change the imput method: it is gboard. I've learned from the watch's online user guide that the screen I miss is called text input sreen. It has totally diappeared and I cannot bring it back. I made a factory reset and it has not resolved the issue. Aditionally, I cannot get the input by handwriting option (draw letters one by one) what I don't actually miss. It used to be available from the so called "text input screen". I send some screenshots. Thx
I am using the stock Samsung keyboard and if I want to compose a message (even though I don't because the screen is too small), I have the choice of voice, finger, emoji, text, or numbers. I do not know what Gboard supports since I do not have that loaded.

I am Hungarian and Samsung keyboard supports voice to text imput only in system langue ( no multiple language support). So I should change the OS to Hungaran what I don't want. And if I did I would have to answer English messages using Samsung keyboard. I can still use voice to text with Gboard but it got more complicated and inconvenient especially when driving.
