Last month I bought an Alcatel Go Flip 3 for my wife to replace her now-bricked 2G Motorola Reuse (which served her well for ages). Anyhow, when setting up her Contacts, she noticed she could only enter in the numerals, yet the text field above for the contact name would not allow her to enter text (???). For that matter, texting was a no-go as well.
In looking into this a bit further, apparently this is a 'timestamp issue' that happened at the start of this new year (2021). The issue is noted on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/KaiOS/comments/koky4v/help_my_keyboard_is_only_typing_expired_on/ ) and 'apparently' a fix in the form of an update was supposed to have been issued January 14th of this year. So far I've heard nothing. Emails to KaiOStech (creator of the OS) have been met with boiler-plate responses, and Alcatel has yet to respond. Two weeks later. Soooooooooo . . .
Has anyone here, or at Fido heard of this issue; are aware if this update is actually released; are aware of a remedy; or can suggest a fix? The temp fixes in the Reddit thread haven't worked.
