'm trying to use NEW compose in gmail on an archos 101 G9 android tablet. (the OLD compose worked fine..)However, it's not working. When i press compose it opens the new email box, when i press on "To or recipients" it opens the keyboard and sometimes lists contacts to choose from after i type the first letter (on the account that has contacts - see below), but other times goes straight into google search putting what i've typed in the search box. As i've set up a new gmail account to test this and don't have any contacts to list, it takes what i've typed straight into google search.
If i get past that hurdle (by testing on another account that does have contacts) i seem to be able to type the subject in ok (normal way - pressing on that box, keyboard appears and i type it in)
However, when i go into the text box and press there, the keyboard doesn't appear so i can't type a message in. If i expand the message box to full size by pressing the X then pressing in the text area it sometimes opens the keyboard, but usually it doesn't. I can sometimes enter the message text if i do that first, before putting in the recipient, but then often it won't let me put the recipient in. It's rare that i can enter all 3 - recipient/subject and message text.
A similar thing happens when i use the NEW reply - i hit reply, it opens the message box, i click on the text box of the message, but no keyboard to type in. It's a real pain as i want to use gmail on the android..
Any ideas?
