EditText focus inconsistent across layouts
This is a really old post but I'm answering it as best I can. From what I know you put the + sign the first time you are referencing the id, so on your:android:nextFocusDown="@id/phone" should actually be android:nextFocusDown="@+id/phone because it is the first time you are referencing that object. Then take out the + sign where you have android:id="@+id/phone"
Hope this helps anyone who comes across this.
You are using "@id/phone" try using "@+id/phone" the + is necessary to reference the id of the object
