disable ASUS keyboard - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I believe there was a way to uncheck ASUS keyboard and just have the default android keyboard. However, that option is greyed out for me. In fact, now both android and ASUS are greyed out and can't be unselected.
I have installed a bunch of keyboards which I think what caused this issue. I also updated to 3.1 so I'm not sure what caused this or I am dreaming and that option was always greyed out.
Can somebody please check input methods and verify if they can be checked off. If true, what can I do to disable ASUS keyboard?
Thanks!

I would also like to find a way to uncheck one of those keybards (though I would like to keep the Asus keyboard and deselect the android default one).
I'm using Asus eee pad Slider (sl101)
thanks

[Q] word suggestion on Asus keyboard

does anyone know how to turn off word suggestion on the Asus keyboard? I like the Asus one because it has numbers on top but even if I turn off word suggestion in the settings, it's still there. On the other keyboard I can turn it off, but it does not have numbers displayed on top.
Thanks for your suggestions!
I'd like to have an answer to this too. Darn thing displays previously typed passwords.
I got it to disable, not sure how though. I disabled everything even under the android settings.
I was able to disable the word prediction (which is abysmal in my opinion) by going to Settings>Language & Input>Settings (in the ASUS Keyboard section) and deselecting Next Word Prediction. Might also be able to do it by adjusting the Word Completion setting on that screen, not sure. I've got mine working the way I want so I don't really want to mess with it and risk screwing it up just now.
i need better keyboard 8, it's a piece of paradise after using the stock keyboard

[Q] Disable Tap To Click on dock.

Prime's old rom used to have an option to disable tap to click on the touch pad for the dock. It doesn't as of ver 1.9, I really loved this feature. Is there anyway to get it back on the newer honeycomb roms?
My dock has a button on the top of the keyboard to disable touchpad. Top row, 4th button from the left between Bluetooth and Brightness
Cheers!
PS: Re-read post and guess its not what your looking for......sorry
There is an app called "input settings" that disabled touch to click. It's floating around here somewhere. It was included with some of the transformer custom roms, and I think the rom has to support it to use it. Check the rom threads for it.
I really like the the app, however it never saved it's settings upon reboot, so you have to reactivate it every time you boot. Absolutely awesome app though.
Yea I've looked for the input settings APK with no luck. Supposidly the kernel can be compiled with support for tap to click disabled. I don't want to disable the touchpad completely, just tap to click.
Unfortunately the code that was in the kernel has been removed. Probably something to do with the new pointer/gestures options and the app no longer works.
If I find a way to disable the tap to click I see if it can be implemented.
Is this 3.2 specific, or specific to the transformer? I'll start digging and see what I can find.
Has anyone found a solution to this wth 3.2? Just picked one of these guys up and the touchpad is useless if it's not disabled since I keep bumping it with my thumbs when I hit space.

[Q] Clock/time problems

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing clock/time issues?
My infinity taskbar clock will occasionally get stuck at a certain time (i.e. 4:28 is stuck right now) and other times will continue to work but show the wrong time. Other times it shows the correct time. The clock on the asus options panel will show a different time than the taskbar, or show the right time.
Anyway, the time is always correct in the settings > date/time menu. I have tried changing from auto time/no sync, asus panel/normal panel, etc but I still experience problems with the clock.
I doubt it is a hardware problem because in the settings menu (and it apps that grab the time) it is always correct. It just displays incorrectly (or pauses for hours at a time) on the taskbar and the pop-up menu.
Anyone else ever experience anything similar? I am eagerly awaiting the bootloader unlocking tool that will open up all of the awesome custom roms, adding functionality and fixing things ^.^
No clock problems here -- have you tried clearing cache/data on the asus clock app? What about a factory reset (I know, I hate them too)?
Yes, I have the same bug and it's very frequent... I'm not sure but I think it occurs when I use the "One-Click clean" button of the task manager widget.
Do you use this button?

hm... yes I have the widget on my home screen, and I use it often. I will test this and see if that's whats causing the problem.
Thanks for commenting! I will post back my findings...

Settings can not be saved?

Hello all,
My problem is, the option "Background Process Limit" in Developer Options, seem to be set to Default again everytime i reboot or restart. I use Apex Launcher but it was same with the Stock launcher too. How can i solve this?

Just curious - why are you even setting that option? My understanding is that it will just limits how many apps you can multitask with (could be wrong though).

I would also like to know why this option keeps getting reset on power down/up.
My reason, if you require a reason, which you shuoldn't really, is wanting to control the amount of tasks on the machine. If they have the option available, it shouldn't have to be re-enabled each boot.
Could be wrong here.
Aren't certain developer settings only available for rooted devices?

From just messing around with it, it seems that if enabled, the setting does restrict the amount of processes.. it just doesn't carry over on reboot.
Which would be a very cool built in auto task killer, in my opinion.
Its a bit frustrating to have to continually re-check the option.
I just installed the most recent firmaware update though so I'll see if it sticks now.
This option doesn't stick on any android device I've used. Didn't stick on the original Samsung Galaxy, Nexus S, Asus TF101 or Galaxy S3.
Just assumed this is by design.

I did a cold reboot yesterday, the 4 processes maximum setting remained enabled...

Because for many, it prevents random reboots. It also means you don't have to constantly clean out the background processes when launching something heavy. Let's face it, you're not going to multitask whilst playing a bluray or heavy game.

Anyone else using JB (factory reset + root) and find dock doesn't delete (backspace)

Seems to be an odd / random occurrence but if you type a few letters maybe 4-5 and then try to delete everything, it won't let you (with keyboard dock haven't tried a 'soft' app yet).
Also noticed in a few apps that paste is broken in certain text fields.
Anyone else having these issues and know a fix?

I've run into the paste thing myself. Not the backspace yet, although I've seen at least 2 other threads with it being mentioned,.
I've run into the backspace not working when trying to correct input in a field on a web site.

If this fix your issue make sure you hit "thanks"!! just kidding. I found a work around may work for you guys. Just change your default keyboard to Android instead of Asus. Let me know if it works for you.
I ran into all kinds of oddities like that before the Jelly Bean update. What app are you using that you're noticing the Backspace problem OP?
Most of my problems were always with Chrome before JB update. The search box after the initial search in Google would become inactive, times I couldn't clear it with Backspace nor highlight.

@ under 2 is the International US Layout.
@ under ' is the UK Layout.
Just go to settings --> input and language and change the keyboard language from English (US) to English (UK).
I have both of these problems. when I change my keyboard from asus English to Android English, it just prompts me to returm it to Asus keyboard to maintain hardware consistency. nothing seems to work! As an aside, running stock, no root..... wah-wah!

i do have Android English (UK) and for some reason some keys are swapped like "@". when choose ASUS UK its all ok but have backspace problem
I'm using Android keyboard with US version and I don't have the problem you having. Maybe it's time to try factory reset! some thing is not right with yours.

I did perform a factory reset and still have the same issue and it's random and seemingly was in every app (last time I saw it it was inside of stock Browser).
However, I did switch to Android keyboard from ASUS (there was a working that this work cause issues) and I'm no longer having the problem. Viable work around indeed! thanks guys!

The backspace key issue (and others) seem to be tied to any text input which does not completely constrain the cursor. To check cursor constraint, simply put carrat focus inside a text field and then press home or end from a physical USB/bluetooth keyboard or by using the FN key on the dock. If focus stays in the text box then you should experience no keyboard issues. If, however, the current page jumps to the top or bottom them you will see random loss of the backspace key as well as a few other annoying things. For example... in a non-constrained textbox the delete key on a USB keyboard will not work but shift-backspace on the dock will. Go figure. Setting input to the Android keyboard only corrects some of these issues. Please file a bug report with ASUS using your VIP memeber account if you have one as this requires a patch from them in order to correct.
