Using GMAIL the REPLY function will not allow me to type

[sammyc]

Has anyone else run into this? and if so, could you forward how it was fixed.
When we touch the main box to begin a reply email, the entire area becomes selected and no typewriter springs up from the bottom.
Ideas, suggestions?
Everything else works fine, the only issue is when we try to reply to someone within gmail.
Thanks

Same issue here. Only happens with gmail. Grrrrrrrr.

Can't help with that problem but I would recommend using the K-9 email client app for accessing gmail. Not quite as powerful as the native web version of gmail but it comes close, at least for dealing with daily email.

I went to Kindle chat. What they suggested worked! Do a "hard" shutdown' which means hold down the power button for exactly 20 seconds. I also waited awhile to restart.

I had this issue too - could read my emails but couldn't reply. I finally figured out the answer after rereading the email section in Jim Cheshire's "My Kindle Fire" - a great resource. I was going to gmail through google.com as a website. When I enter gmail through the email app on the Apps "page.", I can reply and the keyboard comes up. Cheshire lists quite a few steps but most were unnecessary for me, probably because I had already been reading my mail previously on the Kindle. If you need the steps, let me know. To reply after selecting the msg, just hit the curved arrow at the bottom right of the screen.

I have the same problem replying in cafemom. Can't read that in email app.

I had this issue too. I believe I fixed it by fiddling with either my flash or javascript settings. Javascript sounds more likely, but I'm not sure. It was one or the other.
