Mibox S wifi connection onscreen keyboard problem android 9

by croccatcher

After factory reset my mibox s, I am unable to login to wifi no onscreen keyboard, no ok button to confirm login and proceed.

On the enter password page, I can only enter my wifi password via a physical keyboard, there is no onscreen keyboard popping up with the remote or keyboard, there is no OK button to press onscreen to accept the login details, the enter key on physical keyboard does nothing.

ie it is basically impossible to login to wifi on a mibox s after a factory reset.

Physical keyboard and onsceen keyboard keys are also not working

Use keyboard to adjust screen position but then to escape hide the menu there is no reaction from the keyboard.

Regret now installing the android 9 update, maybe got to bin this mibox and buy another one with android 8 firmware.

Anyone else have the same or could suggest a fix for this, I have tried factory reset and unplugged/rebooted my mibox 4 times now.

Had to use a LAN adapter to get a network connection. Updating the apps and will see if the onscreen keyboard will function, otherwise its in the bin this device.

Onscreen keyboard not working after updating it on google playstore, had to use a physical keyboard to input my credentials.

Is onscreen keyboard not working anymore, its asking me to use my mobile device which I definitely do not want to do.

The update is full of bugs. Last time they did this with Oreo it took 9 months to fix the major issues.

Before that with the original mibox it took 18 months for them to release features that were listed on the box.

Bin it and get a shield. If their track record is anything to go by you could be waiting years for a fix. All the while without any communication that they are working on any fix at all.

I have the same issue, but I haven't attempted a factory reset yet. Well, the keyboard pops up on the screen you just can't move the cursor to any letters on the keyboard. I'm still in my return period, should I just return it to WalMart?

Same here. You most likely have connected USB-Dongle to your box!? Remove dongle and reboot. Onscreen-Keyboard should work then...

Hi, just go to setting/device preferences/keyboard/gboard setting/languages

than turn off 'use system languages' & select 'Chinese (Simplified)' only.

after that, the keyboard will appear, & u can enter the wifi password, u can install LeanKey Keyboard later, since Gboard always will get this problem after future update the keyboard on this mi box.
