Hi there i also faced same problem in my old project.

Then i have try many solution, but the best solution i have got and which really worked for me, and i have used that in my many projects. I used the autocomplete attribute for the text box...

<input type="text" name="" id="" autocomplete="off" />

and solved the problem hopefully it would work for you also

  • This is the standard and is the right thing to but, now the issue is that mainly on Samsung devices that have custom browser (not Android one) this will not work. In my case I even added: `autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false"` and for some devices this doesn't have any effect – pauldcomanici Mar 06 '14 at 10:43
