Current behavior:
When Android TalkBack is enabled and the user selects an input or ion-input, the keyboard will sporadically close and/or ignore user typed letters.

Expected behavior:
When Android TalkBack is enabled and the user selects an input or ion-input, the keyboard input should be tracked in the selected field.

Steps to reproduce:
Enable TalkBack on an Android device and attempt to fill out a form.

Other information:

  1. No issue with Samsung Voice Assistant on input fields
  2. Applies to both input and ion-input
  3. Workaround is having TalkBack focus on another element after selecting the input field, keyboard input is then able to work.

Ionic info: (run ionic info from a terminal/cmd prompt and paste output below):

Ionic Framework Version: 2.1.0

Hi, I麓m having the same issue here.

Thanks for the issue! We have moved the source code and issues for Ionic 3 into a separate repository. I am moving this issue to the repository for Ionic 3. Please track this issue over there.
