Anyone else having post-Oreo text input issues?

by EveryPictureTells

My newly-upgraded TV (Sony A1E) is forcing me to use my mobile device keyboard for *any* text input.... then refusing to recognize any text input from either my Android phone and iPad. The TV shows an icon for the Android TV mobile app (see here ) instead of displaying any kind of on-screen keyboard at all. Then when I type on the phone/tablet, nothing happens on the TV.

What gives? I had that app on my phone, but even when I deleted it, the TV still insisted on text being inputted from an external device. I can't log into anything on the TV, which is obviously a problem. Thanks!

It forces me to use my phone too… And sometimes even this is not recognized for me as well (KD-FX8505)

Same problem here. I don't have a solution on the mobile keyboard thing, but you can at least turn it off in the keyboard settings on your TV. That way you can go back to using your remote as keyboard and "log in to things".
