Typing from a cell phone

[XEMON]

Hello everybody,

Im not sure if only me ... but i have some wired issues when typing with my phone.
especially when trying to hit the backspace specifically when truing to erase a new/blank line.

Its only happening when using my phone and on MCB only, everything works fine from a PC.

Is it my phone having issue or does someone else have the same issue?

I haven't noticed any problems using my phone but will try to use it to check the site and post with it a bit more to see if I have the same problem.

I've always just chalked any phone typing problems up to fat fingers and autocorrect.

My keyboard is a little wacky. It's hard to describe exactly what happens but it's particularly troublesome when trying to edit text. And of course now I can't get it to do it again.


In an earlier thread on this topic it seemed like Google Pixel phones were a common thread. It may have been an issue with Google keyboard software as I just downloaded an update recently.

Good info, thanks.
im using a nexus right now, and my pixel is in the mail.
I'll let you know how it works with the new phone ...

My phone is a cheaper Android phone. I haven't seen any problems yet.

Phones are for making calls not typing So I just keep my surfing forums where I want to communicate to my PC. I'm biased though I hate all phones, just find them annoying all the way back to my rotor phone on a party line.

OK, Boomer :P




(Just kidding; I agree with you in principal but when I want to check MCB I inevitably reach for the phone in my pocket instead of finding the laptop, turning it on, etc etc etc)

Same here ... Specially at work ... (During break ... Yeah ... During break ... )

Gen-X (early Gen-X but still more that then Baby Boomer)

I spend most of my work day on a computer and do side work like scrapping internet sights so way more opportunity to use a computer then many. I didn't even start texting until 2016 and still keep it to the minimum. "Heading Home", "what do we need at grocery store",...etc.
