Also happening here with Galaxy Tab 10.1. On Galaxy Nexus I can type but not delete, not sure if this is related.

I've tried several, including one that is called "Gingerbread Keyboard" (but isn't from Google) and another from Google that is just called "Google Keyboard" but doesn't say which version of Android it is from, but none of them will work for me on MCPE 0.7.1 on my Xoom.

+1 with my Galaxy Tab 2.
Have you tried the Gingerbread Keyboard? Ugly keyboard, but it works for MCPE 0.7.1. (for me anyway)

This is more than just a Samsung Galaxy tab issue. The same thing happens with my Motorola Xoom tablet currently running MCPE 0.7.1 from the Amazon App Store: Cannot type in any sign, chat window or username. My tablet is rooted and runs CyanogenMod 9 with the default ICS keyboard, Swype and Swiftkey. None will work. I even tried google voice input, but still nothing.

(I had the same problem with signs in MCPE 0.6.1 but could type everywhere else with that version)

Double Confirmed! See my report at MCPE-2801
Although I have it working now, by using a different keyboard. The default Samsung Keyboard and TouchPal keyboards have this issue.
I'm currently using Gingerbread Keyboard off googleplay to at least play MCPE. (now to look for a better keyboard that is compatible.......)

Confirmed! but there's more. you can't type anything in the chat!
samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

Ruth could you please update your issues name to: "cannot type in any interface" ?

It's very frustrating.
Thanks!
