Since a few weeks it is for me impossible to type in more than one field in my browser and in browser-based apps. Therefore I can’t login in for example Facebook alternatives or on mobile websites and I can’t succeed any other task that requires me having to fill in more than one field. After I inserted either my username or my password, I can’t type anything in the remaining field(s).
As long as I can remember, it happened from time till time (like once every other month). However, since two weeks it happens literally all the time. Does someone have this problem too? or does anyone know a solution?
Well, I also use Firefox (which indeeds works better) but when it comes to logging in on browser-based apps I guess it uses the preinstalled one automatically. Is there a way to change that?
No, sadly many apps rely on the old webview engine used by the preinstalled browser. What speaks against accessing the contents in Firefox, rather than in the browser-based apps?
Some profiles are linked to my Facebook account (as for example Spotify) and since I deleted the Facebook app (because it caused all the sudden reboots) it automatically opens the preinstalled browser when I have to log in.
If I’m not mistaken you can also simply disable the browser and “Android WebView” and then Firefox will be used automatically.
I’m not 100% sure about this though - maybe I’m just not using any apps that use webview.
Unfortunately I also don’t have a solution. My suggestion would be to work around it. Use other browsers if possible (although, my phone gets really slow hen I use other browsers) and when it comes to logging in on apps: just keep trying. Sometimes (unfortunately not always) it works after trying a few times.
Tanks for the tip . However, I tried that app and it does not work that well. I always have to refresh the webpage more than 3 times before it fully loads the webpage -_-
