I just started having this problem...that the keyboard doesn't respond on the TF screen...(i.e. the mouse) nor does typing in a form field work...no response at all...like the keyboard isn't even attached.
Has anyone had this happen?
Is it charging the tablet when docked? USB and sdcards work? If its only the keypad and mouse not working it may have been turned off by pressing the keyboard-off button. Its located at the top near the bluetooth toggle button.
I didn't know that there was a "keyboard off" button; just the "touchpad" button. I did, however, toggle that too just to see if that made a difference...
I did a factory reset and that fixed it....but bummer...now having to reset all app info....yuk...

Hello guys.
I want to ask you regarding Home/Back/Green/Red keys backlight,that is often on,while in suspend state with slided-out keyboard.
IOW:
- keyboard slided out
- backlight of bottom keys is ON
- while suspend the backlight goes NOT OFF(sometimes is it working normally)
This happens with WM6.1,WM6.5 as well.
Can someone help with this?
Is anyone else having this same issue? I can confirm that it is happening to me on the stock ROM/RADIO and on EnergyROM 3.0 and the latest ATT radio.
I go to check my messages using the slide out keyboard, and when I'm done I put the phone in standby and close the keyboard, the DPAD backlight is still lit. To 'clear' it, I have to turn the phone on again and press a button on the DPAD (like the center button) and then turn the phone off.
This isn't a show-stopper or anything, but it sure does worry me that one day I'll put my phone in my pocket and take it out at the end of the day with an empty battery... Any help would be most excellent!
Thanks!
If you have a TF101 and a dock, with Stock ICS, can you please tell me:
when docked:
1. does clicking the mouse wake your tablet from sleep?
2. does moving the touchpad wake your tablet from sleep?
3. does anything else wake up your tablet, besides opening it up, and the power button?
Thanks, I'm trying to figure out if my dock is normal, or if it has a bad I/O, and I'd rather not have to flash the stock rom just to find out, it's a pain if you're just going to use it for 5 minutes.
touching the mouse pad does wake up mine...
Touching the pad does wake up the screen. Clicking the mouse button also wakes up the screen for me too.
Yes, touching the mousepad / moving mouse cursor / pressing left (only left, not right) button under mousepad wakes my TF up. But that's about it, besides this and power button nothing else does that.
all right, thanks everyone, I guess it sounds like my dock is normal then. (somebody on here told me I might have a bad I/O on my dock and might need to RMA it, but I guess mine is fine)
Is there a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on screen when it is in the keyboard dock, also is there a way to stop the text I am writing into the stock browser from dissapearing under the full screen keyboard when typing?
Thanks
I couldn't find a way, but I got round it by clicking the v on the bottom menu (Next to home) which closes the onscreen keyboard down. Its a bit of a faff tbh. But at least you can get to type on fullscreen. To see what you're typing, just use the arrow keys/the text tag and scroll down.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It is so annoying. Everytime i touch the screen to edit, the virtual keyboard pops up. I use the up/down keyboard Key, below the Enter Key on the virtual keyboard to minimize the virtual keyboard. I have cheked the settings and there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard. Any suggestions anyone?
I don't have a dock but use a bluetooth keyboard from time to time. To avoid the same problem I have installed null keyboard from Google Play store which works well for me.
Works brilliantly thanks just what i was after. I've got the note docked and the keyboard hasn't appeared on screen once while typing this. Only thing i had to do was set it to the default keyboard first in the settings under input.
Having owned a Asus Transformer I'm used to how well the hardware keyboard works and particularly how it always disables the softkey keyboard whenever I was using the hardware keyboard.
I've been frustrated with the Samsung Dock in that it never disables the softkey keyboard. Seems any keyboard will force the Note back to the Samsung Keyboard if you have something else selected. I've used Tasker to detect my bluetooth keyboard, delay a few seconds, and then switch to "null keyboard" and then back again to my preferred softkey keyboard when I turn off my bluetooth keyboard.
One problem is that Tasker doesn't have anything that works with detecting the Samsung Keyboard dock. I wish the tablet would just automatically disable the softkey keyboard when I have the OEM keyboard dock attached. Afterall, why would I want both? Besides the annoying use of screen real estate there is some bug where occasionally a popup appears saying "US English" and then I lose whatever keystroke I was typing when that comes up.
Anyone else using the keyboard dock seeing issues like this? Does anyone know of a way to disable the softkey keyboard when I've attached the samsung keyboard dock?
I use External keyboard helper. It should let you switch to a null keyboard when an external keyboard is connected. You still have to choose it as input method by clicking on the pop-up sincd apparently Android does not allow automatic switching for security reasons.
Also, sometimes it wouldn't make the switch back after disconnecting, so I set up a Tasker profile that offers you the choice of input options every time bluetooth keyboard is connected. Now it's just one click to switch it in or off.

You actually can have Android switch input methods if you have root and are using Tasker. You have to use Secure Settings plugin to do this but it works great. Problem is I just can't get tasker to notice this keyboard (works great with my BT keyboard) and besides the point, I was hoping Samsung would have better integration with their own hardware.
I recently bought a lenovo s580 phone. It has android 4.2.2 installed. I was able to pair an apple bluetooth keyboard with the phone and the keyboard is working fine. But there are several keys not working.
I found out that the phone has TouchPanel Gesture. I have never seen this feature before. This feature has an alphabet gesture in it. There are several keys in alphabet gesture including: o,w,m,e,c,s,v,z, left, right, up, down. These keys when pressed from bluetooth keyboard, it flashes a window saying Invalid Application: Application not set.
Basically this flash window keep on poping up and won't allow normal typing on bluetooth keyboard.
I tried to delete tpgesture app from system app list, it removed the window messaging, but the keys are still not working.
I've been trying to tackle this problem for a week now and could not find any other post about this issue.
Can any one help me solve this issue?
By the way, the touchpanel gesture otherwise works fine, I can assign any app to 's' key and pressing physical s key will launch the app. But this effectively makes the physical keyboard completely useless. I really want this feature be entirely gone so I can type normally.
