Have you tried to change the EditText.TextColor? Sometimes, based on themes, the color will be something so close(if not identical) to the background color, that it is invisible(I went nutty looking for something like that... once...)

Also .. If EditText text style > horizontal alignment property is set to anything other than Left .. Hint text will not display ..

I have discovered that when SingleLine is set to true, hint text is invisible.

What are you testing on? I don't see this on either Bluestacks or the Emulator running 4.2.2.
