I just updated my galaxy watch active 2 yesterday. After the update, except for samsung apps, any other apps on galaxy store that I installed on my watch, I cannot use keyboard to type in those apps because the keyboard won't show up when I tap on input field. This is so frustrated. Does any one else experience this?

I am in Canada, and just got an update, and the keyboard is now working properly.  Tizen 4.0.0.7, Software version R820XXU1BTA1, One UI Watch version 1.5.

I'm an app developer and can verify that the same thing happens to my customers after upgrading to Tizen 4.0.0.7. Really hope this will be fixed soon...

Hi,

 

I am in the UK, and I am also experiencing this issue. I have a maps app that is completely useless because I can't input directions either by text or by voice, and a YouTube video app where I can't search for videos for the same reason.

 

Please fix this, Samsung. Very annoying.

Yeah this is exactly my situation right now. I cannot use map anymore. How can Samsung let such a critical issue happen on their flagship smart watch

The keyboard issue is still there.  My Active2 updated to 4.0.0.7 as soon as I activated it, fresh from the store, so I haven't been able to use any of my 3rd party apps that need the keyboard.  Is a fix on it's way?

Yes, I have the same issue using 3rd party apps like Notepad. Cliking on input filed makes no effect. I hope Samsung support read this forum and fix the issue asap.

My DRIVE - Electric app for Tesla is also affected. I have reported the bug and Samsung responded during the Christmas that a fix is about to roll out.
