Re: Can't input characters in email field

I’m having the same issue when I’m in set up mode. The screen states to enter your email address to get a Roku activation link, but there is no way to type anything in! Very frustrating

@Stewakl 

Thanks for the post.

Have you tried pressing the OK or any of the other buttons on your remote to see if the keyboard is shown on screen?

Please keep us posted.


Thanks,
Danny

Re: Can't input characters in email field

We have the same issue where Roku prompts "Enter your email address" box on our TV screen but there is no way to navigate to that box to enter the email and no keyboard appears. We reset Roku, our router, etc many times to no avail.

Re: Can't input characters in email field

After hitting the “okay” button multiple times, the keyboard finally came up for me.

Thanks for the post.

Have you tried pressing the directional buttons as well as the OK button to see if the keyboard is prompted on screen?

Please keep us posted.

Re: Can't input characters in email field

I need to use the # to connect to my cable provider. I see the symbols on the side where you can select the option !?#$%& but when it is selected the # sign does not show up on the keyboard.

You may have Caps Lock on.  Try pressing the * button on your remote or look for the upward pointing arrow with the checkbox on the virtual keyboard and select that.

Re: Can't input characters in email field

Did you try pressing OK on your remote? It should bring up an onscreen keyboard.
