Hey everyone,
I have recently purchased an LG Incite, and am experiencing issues with Skyfire I've not seen when using other phones.
Every now and then (at least a couple of times a day) The Keyboard on the Incite won't enter any characters into the address/Search bar. Even tho the LG Keyboard is displayed and the buttons can be pressed.
The first few times this happened Skyfire would crash completely with an error reporting prompt, however that seems to be happening less now, and instead I'm facing this issue whereby no charcters appear when typing even tho the blinking cursor is in the Search/Address Bar.
I have also tried rotating the screen and using the full Incite Keyboard instead of the 20 Keys keyboard and it makes no difference.
The rest of the browser, scrolling, clicking links etc remain fully functional.
I also found a work around, if I change from the default keyboard (XT9 Keypad) to KEYBOARD, then everything works. This is a really tiny keyboard tho and not at all user friendly on the Incite.
Once this issue has occured the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone or...Dare I say it, use a different browser which don't ever display this behaviour.
I hope this makes sense and helps some with development.

I have been useing skyfire on the incite for some time now and as far as I can tell the mini qwerty is the only way to use it. The big keypad is java based I believe...... and not part of windows mobile like the smaller ones are, so skyfire unfortunely does not allways interact well with it.
try finger keyboard it is free better than the standard one , and works fine in skyfire ..
