I have a pair of questions:

Now, with the version 1.2.1, when I come at the end of the form, the  
keyboard is visible. (my last question is a textfield). With earlier  
versions the keyboard was hiding in the last screen. Is it a change or a  
bug?

(This happens with 1.2 too)  
When I go to download blank forms the connection to aggregate is direc, but  
when I am sending filled forms a screen of authentication is opened always  
to confirm/fill the username and password. Cannot this be avoided?  
Of course, I have a username and correct password introduced in settings.

RE: drop keyboard. This is a bug. To track it, 'star' this  
[http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=687](http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=687)

The user is asked to confirm the username/password only on the first upload  
or first download. After that, if the upload or download is successful,  
there will be no further prompts for the next 7 minutes (whether they are  
doing uploads or downloads). After 7 minutes, the user will be prompted  
once again for their credentials.

I.e., if you have 10 submissions, you should only be prompted once for  
credentials. Similarly, when downloading forms, you should be prompted  
once when first contacting the server, but then should be able to download  
many forms without further prompts.

Are you seeing behavior different than this?

In uploads, the behavior is like you have described, but in when  
downloading blank forms, I have not prompted never for username and  
password (it shows the screen informing the number of forms and images  
downloaded). But it download well.

In my opinion, the downloads behavior is better. I think that if  
username and password are correct in settings. It is redundant ask for  
the information of access again. Ask the username i password again  
confuses the slightly experienced users.

Thank you.
