Posting rep on Android workaround

[Ericpwp]

I don't know if this has been gone over before....

If you tap to give rep to a post on an Android phone or tablet, you cannot type in the rep pop-up, it disappears. This is annoying to those who like to explain why they are repping.

If you long tap on the rep icon, you get a menu and can open the pop-up in a new tab (or window). Then you can explain the rep. All better...

Same/similar problem on iPhone. It also exists when trying to enter info in the search dialog. For the rep, I'll cut and paste a remark I put in the notepad app first.

IDK, for some reason on my iPhone the screen scrolls up to the top. If I scroll down, I can find the dialogue box. I touch it, brings up the keyboard and I'm GTG.

Mine too. And sometimes I have to do that 2-4 times before it'll behave and let me enter a comment. That's why I usually do the cut and paste thing.

Weird. Did you download the latest update?

Long story, but the phone's pretty new... I believe it's V5.1.1.

If i am reping from my phone, I don't feel the need to tell them why.. IF i really want to rep someone and tell them why.. I do so from home.. because it will be that important to me! Night night all

Rep works fine on mine.... HTC Evo4G

Yes it works on my HTC Evo Slider too. It was mentioned in other threads that there was a problem with androids and typing rep. I found out when I got a Transformer Prime for Valentines Day. I would be lounging around w/ ingo and would try to rep somebody, the pop-up would show, when I would click in the text box the keyboard would display and the pop-up would disappear. I could just click on the Add to rep button, but could not type a reason. That's when I found the workaround, then it was mention I should share it. So here it is.

It does the same thing for me sometimes on the stock browser, but seems to work fine on Opera Mini and xScope browsers..
