Setting Temperature on mobile device

[Shidar]

It´s currently not possible to set the temperature to a negative value on a smartphone. If I click on the temperature field,
I can only enter numbers. Smartphone is running on Android 6.

Hmm, just tried this on my phone (Android 8.0 ) and it let me input a negative number, though it did go red temporarily because a "-" is not a valid number.  Can you post a screenshot of what you see when you try to input a negative number?

I attached a screenshot. I think this could be solved with a little bit of CSS.

Interesting, we have the field set as a "number" input in the HTML, which should pull up the numberpad keyboard (which should have numeric symbols).  Here's what I get:

Using GBoard, which keyboard are you using?

Jokingly, you could switch to Fahrenheit and back, as 0C is 32F, which will allow you to get down -18C without using a minus sign.

Switching to Fahrenheit and then back looks like it does the job. At least its a workaround.

I am using the standard keyboard from Android 6. I think it is just the number Input Field. If I change that, then I get the normal keyboard.

Yes, absolutely, the downside is that removing the type="number" from the input field loses us the other functionality on the desktop (up/down spinner buttons to adjust the temperature).  You could try installing another keyboard, I know Gboard provides the right input, and others such as SwiftKey will probably also work.
