Same problem with android 2.3.5 on Samsung galaxy Y.

Seems as the keyboard goes inactive after the connection is established -
connection is successful, one can even paste text from clipboard on the
remote terminal, but typing does not work. Even changing case of letters
does not work on keyboard.

I am using Linux.

I have the same problem on HTC One (currently Android 4.4, but was the same
on older versions). The app connects to SSH server, but only Enter key
works (virtual keyboard) - alphanumeric keys don't go into the terminal -
only vibrate.

As a workaround, I do "Force Size" operation, and then zoom back in to
larger font using volume keys - that makes the keyboard work for me.

The problem happens only with password authentication. When you use private
key auth, keyboard works fine right away.

HTC One, Android 4.4.3, same issue.
Workaround of Zoom in and out with sound keys doesn't work.
Workaround that works for me is changing the Characterset from UTF-8 to
something else and go back to UTF-8.
