Sony Tablet S Update problem

[gt19300]

Yesterday I updated to latest Android version 4.0.3 release 1. Now the onscreen keyboard is not available. When I try to type in a URL this opens google voice type and a screen saying 'waiting for results' with a never ending circular rotating icon.

Hi gt19300,

Welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

Open settings..

Then under Personal tap on Language & Input..

Under Keyboards & input methods ensure Google voice typing is NOT selected & that Standard Keyboard IS selected..

There is loads of confusion and problems since the update to 4.03. Even people with other makles of tablet are having many problems.

My sony will not allow me ot use play, gmail, talk or any google app, it keeps saying GAPPS error or server error.

COME ON SONY GET IT SORTED

Hi, I've   had three lock ups since the last update, only way out is to rest. If you havn 't got a suitable pin around it seems that a very long press on the on/off button does a reset, but a fix would be better.

Thank you, but under keyboards and input there are 2 entries only. The first is Default (Automatic - Google voice typing) and under this the second is Google voice typing - (Automatic.) There isn't the option to deselect or any reference to Standard Keyboard. I've done a soft reset, didn't solve it.
