Found the root of the problem, android keyboards have two different keys for enter. One is a left pointing arrow and the other is a key that just says "Go" on it. When you go to type your name the keyboard automatically sets the enter key as "Go" which the game doesn't register as enter.
I managed to bypass this tho with an app called Technical Keyboard, after you set it up you can hit a key in the bottom left labeled "Fn" that let's you use the left arrow version of enter and the game response to it.
Hope this helps any future users.
