On screen keyboard

I have noticed that with some apps and websites that ask for you to type certain info that the keyboard comes up for you to type but when you have finished there is no done there is no done button to make the keyboard close. I noticed this when trying to use the natwest banking app. It asks to enter your mobile number and passcode but when you do this you cannot continue because when you enter the code the keyboard does not close and you can't continue because the keyboard covers the continue button.

One of the several features of the Blackberry Storm that I miss on the iPhone
is the ability to swipe down the screen


Yes, I hear you. Just another inept 'head scratching' iPhone idiosyncrasy.

I come from Android and there is several options to make the on-screen keyboard disappear. Not having such on the iPhone is as inept as how long it took Apple to finally add multitasking or apps folders.

I am on iOS 4/iPhone 4 and whenever I am in the Apps store, the keyboard appears and stays on screen no matter what I do! Even a iPhone power cycle doesn't fix this!

DELETE THE APP!
PROBLEM SOLVED!


Oh bravo on your clever and helpful response!

I am astounded at how 'helpful' so many forum member are!

I cannot speak for the original poster but in my case, it is Apple's very own app store where my on-screen keyboard won't go away. It all started after I had rated/reviewed an app I purchased. Even after several power cycles, it is still there. So now, I can only see 3 apps at a time when in the app store.

Sure, I will go ahead with your advice and delete the Apps store. Great idea!

Clearly, not having a soft or hard option to close the on-screen keyboard is an inherent design flaw!

I was having the same problem as you: the touch screen keyboard not retracting when in the App Store. I saw that you or someone else on this thread said something about it being after writing a review and I remembered I had written a few recently. So I went into the App Store and went like I was going write another review but hit cancel. This solved the problem and the keyboard retracted.
