When setting up  new account or changing the settings in an existing account on a Samsung Galaxy S6 the screen that appears for the typing function obscures the import and done buttons - so to actually complete the setup exercise is next to impossible!
Ive experienced the same problem with most android hardware
PLEASE HELP THE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS THAT COMPLAIN >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hmm, I have an S8 and have just checked.
When I enter this screen I get the right hand hot button (which is below the screen you have there) changed from a back arrow to a down arrow. Pressing this closes the keyboard.
This is the same operation on my wifes S9, and I think her previous A5.

What version of OS are you running ?
My phone shows android version 8.0.0 if it helps.

The down arrow should  be seen in Android, see belowBut if you set full screen you will hide the button

Samsung S6Android V7.0

I don't believe that I can get an arrow screen at the bottom there would not be enough room have not seen this function.
I don't think it is just me many of our customers have been struggling to get their apps installed due to this problem

I just tried this again on my phone and can reproduce what you are seeing. I believe it could be because of your phone settings.

If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen does it present the navigation bar ?
If this does it, double click on the dot on the left of the navigation bar so it doesn't auto-hide. You can double tap it again to auto-hide the bar again :-)

I hope this helps. Obviously if this doesnt do it, I've been no help at all :?

Thanks I was trying to figure out how to lock that navigation bar, as I prefer to have it available all the time

My S6 does NOT swipe up.
As far as I can see this would not be a default option and after a few minutes searching through the settings I cannot see where this would be activated.
So when is the long awaited update to the app expected? May be first 1/4 of 2019?

For reference its under settings -> display -> navigation bar.
I don't think there is anything there that will fix your problem though, since this is for the soft keys and you say you don't see them.

Doesn't the Galaxy S6 have hard home and back keys anyway ?
My samsung Tab S has hard keys, and pressing the back/undo button removes the keyboard, I just tried it.

I hope you can resolve this, it sounds like a right pain :-/

Its not that simple though
We have CUSTOMERS who expect to be able to use the app and have paid for us to set up.
So as an installer of many years you are  telling me not to install the app until we are satisfied! But you can provide no indication of when the upgrade may occur!

Our app was designed to be simple and perform some basic functions;
See security zones, arm and disarm, control appliances and see their status
We will address the problem of some samsung phones  not able to enter the code due to your settings
However other requests etc to revamp the whole thing is not happening.

Taking a look at your problem again, it looks like a phone or OS problem, or you have missed a setting
The screen without the keyboard is shown below

In all android phones the Home and Back buttons must be there otherwise a lot of apps will have problems 

Pressing the back button removes the  keyboard 

Otherwise there is a down arrow button

The keyboard is needed in all the numeric fields. The phone has to provide a way to remove the keyboard from view
The Done button is at the bottom as it usually is. moving to the top would not be good visually
Is this an app problem or a phone/OS problem?


I think there must be a setting to maker it work properly on the phone

For example the Contacts app in Samsung would have this problem if you cannot press the down arrow button or the back button to remove the keyboard

Home, just to confirm again please, is this an S6 or a J6 ?
The S6 has hard buttons that are obviously always there (so you won't get the soft navigation bar too, and won't see them on a screen shot), the J6 has soft buttons on a navigation bar as discussed above.

I'm sorry, I can't fix anything for you, but just trying to help since we use samsung phones / tablets, and don't see this.

Just try pressing the back button of the **phone** once.. That should get rid of the keyboard

I too don't have a virtual down arrow so in all apps I have to press the back button of the phone to get rid of the keyboard
