Native TextFields not working on Samsung Galaxy

Using just this bit of code,

local text = native.newTextField(10,50,200,40)
text.size = 14 / display.contentScaleY

The
text boxes work fine on Samsung Galaxy Tab, Kindle, and Anmost of the
other droid devices but not on Samsung Galaxy II. Is there a way to get
it working properly?

Have read through these links but they are of help as it does not fix things

Trying some of the code as specified in the posts,

    local idealFontSize = 30
    myTextField = native.newTextField( _W * 0.5, _H * 0.42, 220, 30 )
    myTextField.font = native.newFont(native.systemFont, idealFontSize/display.contentScaleY)

it splits the textField further, which is interesting as can be seen in this screenshot, the textField is rendered like a number on the odometer, half and half.
