Google keep and Gmail black screen because of Gboard Galaxy Watch

[Adi0]

So there's apparently an issue because of the Gboard where posting a new note or anything in Google keep with Gboard and Gmail, replying to the email there's a black screen which never loads. Anybody else?

I had raised a similar issue a couple of months back. Samsung Keyboard + Google Keep / Reminder leading to a blank screen. Seems to be working now.

I am able to replicate the issue with Gboard + Keep and Gmail - screen turns blank (black).

Hi, what do you mean that it seems to be working now? 

Google has replied:

This is really insolence. People have been complaining for HALF A YEAR and Samsung does exaclty nothing!

It is rather not a gboard problem. Maybe it is a Google (app) or Samsung problem. How I knew about it? I thought: when it is a black screen so maybe the screen reader can help. And it helped :). Talkback makes green border around chosen element and tells you what is chosen.

What I did:

1. choose gboard as default keyboard

2. turn on Talkback

3. open reminder / google keep and click on add button

4. Black screen appears and talkback says "Samsung keyboard (!), edit box" and makes really narrow boarder around it.

5. click on this text box

6. Gboard appears, talkback says "shows gboard window". Now you can type or press microphone for voice typing. It allows to save this note.

But anyway it was just an experiment. It is nor a solution neither workaround.

There is another solution - I wouldn't need Gboard when my language was supported by Samsung keyboard...

Can someone finally fix this?!

A new firmware has been released recently which also did not solve the problem. I am starting to think that this bug is is intentional for some reason.

So sad... What can we do? Send error reports to Gboard?

This is such a joke, how is this still an issue

Same here, recent firmware upgrade did not solve the problem.

Bump! Report it in Samsung Members pls!
