GlennWest Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I have an android phone. Been fine for a couple of years. Now when I go on any forum cannot respond. I can bring up the repond window but cannot enter text. No cursor. Reboot phone and may work a few times and quits again. Anybody know how to fix this short of a new phone.

GlennWest Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just done this with Opera. See if it continues.

Jaydrvr Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) There are multiple browsers you can use. I would think Chrome would work the best, but I personally use Dolphin. How old is your phone? Both work really well on my phone. I have a Samsung Note 9, which is reasonable new.

GlennWest Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Phone might be 2 years old. Chrome just started messing up. Done everything on line to fix it. Opera working fine. Think something just happened to chrome.

Jaydrvr Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Opera is great. That should work well. I would uninstall Chrome and reinstall. That should fix it. Or just use Opera. The latest version of the forum works much better on a phone, way better than the previous version. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaydrvr Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 My phone has that option. Apparently, it's a manufacturer specific option. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennWest Posted March 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Yes, don't have that option. But no loss. Opera working great.

lenp Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Have you updated the phone's operating system lately? Might help. Apple seems to be pushing iphone updates 2-3 times a month. Not sure about Android. Lenp Quote USN Retired 2002 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom 2012 F150 4x4 2018 Lincoln MKX 2019 HD Ultra Limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennWest Posted March 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Apps just take up phone storage. Prefer not to use them if possible.

You might consider trying them more. They're more efficient, faster and I suspect more secure. Once I talked myself into using them, I generally prefer them.

NamMedevac 70 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Cheap stake #2 or 3 here with new 120.00 Nokia 2.3 Android. Does everything I want/need and then some. Only an occasional glitch solved with a restart. Happy Camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noteven Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 A only $80 phone Glenn? Well then it sounds like it could use the 24.5 update... You place it on the ground behind your Freightliner and back over it with a 24.5" truck tire. Recycle the debris. Quote "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever.
