Very strange problems using my new tablet with Reddit, can anyone help me? Samsung Galaxy Tab A (10.5") [SM-T597V] with Verizon, I'm using the browser

[I Hate Technology]

Today I transferred my SIM into a "new" Samsung Galaxy Tab A (10.5") [SM-T597V] with Verizon, the same model I've used for years, but the firmware/software is newer.

I'm unable to click the bell icon to see my notifications, when creating a new post, I'm unable to paste, use "space", "commas", "periods", etc.

Everything still works on my old tablet, why isn't it working with Reddit?

Is it the same version of the Reddit app as on the previous tablet?

Try clearing the app cache and data for Reddit in Settings>Apps, then Force Stop it, then open it again and log back in.

On both tablets I'm using the Chrome browser.

The old tablet has among other things a very cracked screen and using it has become a nightmare, it's like multiple people are touching the screen and fighting for control. Sometimes it calms down and I can use it, but it has other problems.

My new tablet is the same model but the firmware/software is newer, I didn't update on the old tablet.

I don't know why the new tablet is having issues with posting on Reddit.

Ok, try clearing the app cache/data for Chrome, then force close it, and then open it and try Reddit again.

Have you tried the Reddit app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reddit.frontpage

Didn't work. My old tablet used Android 9, my new tablet uses Android 10.

I don't know why I'm unable to type when creating new posts.

It isn't a problem when typing replies.

I won't use the app.

 

[me just saying]

try shrinking the screen. sometimes reddit will lose things when the screen size is too large.

Shrinking?

The one with the server error is allowing me to type, but I don't know why.
The normal window isn't working.

In case there's something weird with the SIM card, try removing it and connecting to Wi-Fi only.

You using a screen protector?

I updated Chrome from 81.0.4044.138 and the issues seem to have been resolved.

My old tablet was using Chrome 91.0.4472.101 even though it was on an older Android version.

My Chrome is now current, not sure if I should update Android from 10 to current.

My old tablet was running 9 I think.

No, why?

Certain screen protectors can cause touch response

Ok, but be aware that the current version of Chrome is all the way up to 126. Is that what it's running now?

Yes, my new tablet went from 81 to 126.
My old tablet was using 91.

Thank you for your time, much appreciated!
