Impossible to enter username

Breadcrumb — Tue, 28 May 2013 01:35:05 GMT

Description

When I try to login with my Spotify details (not Facebook) I'm not able to enter anything in the username field.

What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?

1. Open Spotify on android.

2.Choose to login with spotify details.

3. I click on the username field but nothing happens, i.e. I can't enter my username by writing or pasting it.

4. Tried entering my password and that worked without any issues.

What I expected to happen

I expected the field to be activated and allow me to enter my username.

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂

Are you using the default android keyboard input?

YES! I just found a workaround for this. Sadly I have the same issue, clicking the username field does nothing, orient doesn't work on Spotify, switching out and in selects it but doesn't bring up a keyboard. Even completely wiping every trace of Spotify and reinstalling didn't help. Download Hacker's Keyboard. One, it's a lot nicer than the regular keyboard, but it also has tab and arrow keys. Tab, for some reason, was entering a character, but pressing on the password field and hitting the up arrow moved to the username field where I could type my username. Down to go back to password field. You have to use the 5 row version in the settings for this though. This also didn't cause the extra spaces issue that some get. Hope this helps!
