I picked up a used low spec. Huawei Mediapad T1 7.0 as a cheap,
dedicated display for my brewing activities. Basically a gadget sends
the monitored gravity, to Brewspy, then I can log into the Brewspy
server, to see the progress.

I already had Brewspy working via Bluestacks on my PC and on an even
older tablet, which I had rooted and installed standard Android on, but
both were terrible slow to use with Brewspy.

The Mediapad works fine with all the installed apps, I can click on on
screen buttons fine, except for Brewspy.

Brewspy, before it can get to my account, needs me to fill in my email
address and my password. I fill those details in and below is a LOGIN
button, a CREATE ACCOUNT and FORGOT PASSWORD buttons. Trying to click
any of these buttons, produces nothing at all - no reaction.

I think I only need to get Brewspy past the login stage and then it
will work fine, but how??

As a work around, I tried to connect a bluetooth keyboard. The Mediapad
sees the keyboard, but refused to pair with it.

Nah - As I said the screen buttons work fine with all the other apps,
apart from this one single app.

Doesn't the virtual keyboard have something like an arrow or return button?

USB keyboard plugged in via an OTG adapter?

Just 2 random thoughts:

Have you tried while connected to the internet?

Have you installed any other apps since buying the tablet - just so you
know there's not a problem with news app generally?

Yes, but it just causes the keyboard to disappear, nothing else.

Yes, it has a good wifi connection.

No, but it did update all of it's built in apps. I could try another
app.

Its more likely their server isnt responding
given it's the only app that doesn't work.

but how??

Try installing a different keyboard app (eg Google's Gboard or
Microsoft's Swiftkey) from Google Play, then make it as the default in
Settings.

Once the details have been set up, there is no need to re-enter them in
Brewspy - they seem to be stored. My two other copies of Brewspy are
able to connect to the server without any problems and show data from a
previous brew. Which suggests the server itself is OK.

So are you saying its a physical fault on part of the screen or could it be
the web site buttons which are not touch screen friendly? if the latter then
the owner of the site needs to fix it I'd have thought.

I think he's saying it's a perfectly good touchscreen, but that one app
is not responding to events from the on-screen keyboard.

I meant the server isnt responding to the login button tap.

Yes, that is the evidence that the server itself isnt the problem.

Likely the problem is that the config of that tablet isnt
able to access the server properly for some reason.
Check the basic settings for which DNS is being used
on the one that works and the one that doesn't and
stuff like that.

No, just the 3 buttons, logon, lost password and register.

It happens that Brian Gaff (Sofa) formulated :

I have been in touch with the softwares author and it turned out to be
an incompatibility between the software and the earlier version of
Android on the pad. He has fixed that issue, the login button is now
working, but it thows up another issue with the login server.

So still not quite there...
